Chapter 297 I Still Love You
The prince's persuasion seemed more like nonsense, without any stance to persuade others. However, the effect was surprisingly good. At least for Lin Xueqi, the fact that she could have today was entirely due to the prince's trust in him. If she failed his trust, she would not forgive herself in her heart.
After forcing her spirits, Lin Xueqi started working again, but her condition was obviously not very good, which made her feel extremely anxious. Fortunately, Tang Gao was still quite understanding and knew that Lin Xueqi was in a bad mood recently, so there was a cocktail party in the evening. He asked Lin Xueqi to attend on behalf of himself to relax. Lin Xueqi would not understand what Tang Gao meant. Although she didn't want to go, she still represented the prince group attending the cocktail party with a grateful attitude.
But what she couldn't accept was that at the cocktail party, Lin Xueqi saw the man who made her lose her mind for many days.
The ex-boyfriend also saw Lin Xueqi, and after finding out the accompanying staff around Lin Xueqi, he was a little shocked. So he walked over and said with a slightly awkward smile: "Qiqi, long time no see."
Lin Xueqi nodded silently.
"You are now...working in the Prince's Group?"
Lin Xueqi nodded, and after a while he realized that he was a little distracted. He stretched out his hand naturally: "Let me introduce ourselves formally first. Lin Xueqi, vice president of Prince Group."
The ex-boyfriend was very surprised, but she still reached out and held it with Lin Xueqi, and said softly: "Cheng Nan, regional president of fk group."
Lin Xueqi held her hand and slowly took it back after a while. She smiled and said, "It seems that we are all developing well in our careers."
"It should be like this. I wonder if Vice President Lin can give me some separate time and let's go over there to chat?"
Lin Xueqi thought about it, but she still couldn't resist such temptation. She nodded and agreed.
So the two of them walked aside, found a quiet corner and sat down.
After sitting down, Cheng Nan spoke first. It was obvious that for Cheng Nan, sitting opposite Lin Xueqi at this time was really an unnatural thing that made him feel. But Lin Xueqi had no intention of speaking, and the atmosphere could not be so awkward. "Have you been doing well in the past few years? I heard that you are still alone now?"
"How could it be?" Lin Xueqi smiled, "I haven't lived a good life, but I've never been alone."
Cheng Nan looked at Lin Xueqi in surprise, not understanding what Lin Xueqi meant. Lin Xueqi said, "You left me, had a new love again, and were even engaged. Life must have changed greatly, but you have never told me to break up. In other words, you no longer have my girlfriend, but I still have you as a boyfriend, and I have always existed in love, and you have no more."
Cheng Nan was silent. Yes, he owed Lin Xueqi a lot, especially an explanation, and a breakup. Cheng Nan was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "My parents strongly opposed us back then, so they let me go abroad. When they found that we had always had contact with each other, so they forcibly interrupted your and my contact. Of course, this is just an excuse, because if I try my best to find you, there is nothing I can't get in touch. But my parents threatened me, or should say, warned me that if I contact you again, they will interrupt all my expenses there, and I can't even go back to China. There is no way, in the face of survival, I can only make a compromise, but Qiqi, you have to believe me, even if I compromise in survival, it does not mean that I betray you. I don't. I just want to let my parents take care of me and show my slackness, and I will explain it to you clearly."
"A big man, like a child, is controlled by his family. This is the case when he goes to school and still does it after school. When will you truly grow up independently?"
Cheng Nan said nothing.
After a while, he continued to say: "A few months later, my parents introduced me to a girlfriend. In fact, they have always recommended some girls there, most of whom are from wealthy families. You also know that my parents have always been very rigid and traditional, and always think about something that is a good match. But how could I betray the relationship between us and be with them? But later they introduced me to Liu Yu. I am my current fiancée."
Lin Xueqi didn't speak and kept listening quietly.
"She has a bad temper, but her family is very good. Even in the eyes of my parents, our family is not much worse than others. They think that if she and I were together, the future will be unlimited for our family and my future. They even threatened me to agree to this matter with death. In the end, I compromised, I began to pursue her, and we finally got together. We were engaged abroad. I always wanted to tell you this because I always thought I owe you too much. Qiqi, I'm sorry, all this is my fault. But I can tell you a fact--I still love you until now. Even if I have a fiancée now and I am with Liu Yu, I love you deeply and have never changed you."
Lin Xueqi smiled, her mouth twitched slightly, "What do you mean by saying this?"
"I, I hope we can start over." Cheng Nan said very seriously.
"Start from the beginning? How to start from the beginning? Will you break up with Liu Yu for me and then we will continue to be together?" Lin Xueqi asked.
"I will." Cheng Nan said affirmatively, "But this takes time. Are you willing to wait? I am not attached to everything I have now. I just want to break up with her. I need an opportunity."
"Then wait until you break up, you can start with me again." Lin Xueqi said softly.
"You... don't hate me?" Cheng Nan asked.
"Hate." Lin Xueqi quickly answered, "But compared to hating you, I endured loneliness, pain and lovesickness, and have been waiting for you hard. Now that you are back, if my ending is abandoned by you, my efforts and my waiting will lose meaning, and even my youth has slipped away most of it, then I will hate myself even more."
After the banquet, Lin Xueqi returned home and hurried on the sofa and cried all night.
In Prince's Fort, the prince held a cup of hot tea and pulled a few newspapers and walked towards the grass. Tang Gao and Chen Dao had been waiting there for a long time, drinking coffee while talking and laughing.
The prince went over and sat down, stretched comfortably, and looked at the newspaper while asking, "How is it, is the team's matters going smoothly?"
"Everything is normal. After all, the other party is a formal industry. With legal constraints, changing the boss is not enough to cause much trouble. It just takes a lot of trouble to open a casino in Xicheng. Chen Dao is responsible for this. Let Chen Dao say." Tang Gao said with a smile.
Chen Dao nodded and took over the conversation, "The strength of Dragon Dao is not very good in Xicheng, so it is really difficult to do if you want to establish a casino there. Our forces cannot intervene, and they are struggling step by step."
"Take it slow. I don't mean much to open a casino there. The West City is so complicated, no less than the East City. It's so difficult to find a foothold in that kind of place. I'm too lazy to waste that time. I don't have that great ambition. The South City is so good. Although it's not so prosperous, it's more comfortable to live."
"That's right, but if Xicheng doesn't have a foothold, it's really hard to intervene." Chen Dao said.
"Why should I intervene there? There are so many young masters over there, and all kinds of forces are intertwined. I can't even hide. Why should I get in? No one in Nancheng is concerned about it, but I thought it was a treasure and it was enough. The reason why I promised Long Dao to carry out the casino and drug business there was nothing more than to make him feel that I was sincere in cooperation with him. After all, our football club has half of the shares."
Tang Gao smiled and said, "But everyone said that if anyone takes down Xicheng, it would be equivalent to indirectly taking down Dongcheng. After all, the young men in Xicheng who show off their power and the young men in Zhongcheng District are all in Dongcheng."
The prince smiled and took a sip of tea and said to Tang Gao and the other two: "In fact, you only see the surface clearly. Whether it is Xicheng or Zhongcheng, they are training places deliberately set up by old people who play tricks and politics to train troops and train future generations. But what they don't know is that even if there is a boss in these places and unify the entire area, it does not mean that that boss can really explain anything. If this country has completely decided the future by these little kids, then this country will sooner or later be destroyed. Those who truly control everything will always be the royal family. Even if the power of the royal family has been reduced to a certain level. However, as long as the royal family is still there, anyone can only continue to fight for their own small profits. The real struggle is not in Xicheng, not in Zhongcheng, nor in Dongcheng, but in the palace."
"Prince, your phone number." As soon as the prince finished speaking, Mimi rushed over with the prince's cell phone.
The prince asked, "Whose?"
"Coco called one, but I didn't hear it. This was called by Angel. I told him that you are in the yard and you will call her back."
"Then I'll call Coco first."
There was nothing wrong with Lu Keke calling. It was just a pretentious way to ask about the situation at home to listen to the prince's voice. The prince smiled and agreed that Lu Keke would go to the Lu family to accompany her in two days. After Lu Keke pretended to be bored, the prince hung up the phone and called An Qi.
Anqi looked for the prince because she wanted to have an appointment with the prince because today is Anqi's birthday.
"Birthday? Where to celebrate?"
"In the hotel, some of my father's friends will come. In addition to hoping that you can come to my birthday, I have a little too much request."
"What are the requirements?" the prince asked with a smile.
"Can you talk to Mimi to temporarily pretend to be my boyfriend? Please, please."
