2270 Twins
“Yes! Let’s drink to a better future!” Xiao Qing made a gesture of drinking. She was so amused that she kept laughing. “That’s right. I’m afraid that if I meet him in a social setting, I’ll inevitably expose my feelings… But I’ll definitely restrain myself.”
Qiao Weiyang reached out and patted her head. How could she not understand her feelings?
After sitting for a while more, Qiao Weiyang stood up and left.
“Yes, come and drink again next time. I’ll send you…” Xiao Qing wanted to get up, but her body was so weak that she couldn’t.
“It’s alright. Have a good rest. Don’t get up.”
After Qiao Weiyang went out, she instructed Mrs. Xiao to take good care of Xiao Qing.
It seemed that Xiao Qing had not sobered up yet.
After returning to the nanny van, Qiao Weiyang looked out of the window. Tao Huan did not dare to ask anything.
The car stopped at Zhuojing Villa. She got out of the car and walked in.
It was already late at night. Although the lights were on in the huge Zhuojing Villa, most people had already fallen asleep.
The air was abnormally quiet, and there was the sound of crickets in the grass.
Qiao Weiyang’s footsteps were light. She didn’t want to alarm the butler and make him get up in the middle of the night to open the door to the inner hall for her.
She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it gently. The door opened from the inside, and Su Zhuoqian’s handsome facial features appeared in front of her.
“You’re not resting yet?” Qiao Weiyang subconsciously looked at the time.
“I was waiting for you.” Su Zhuoqian took her bag and placed it on the coat rack. He held her hand, which was a little cold because it was late at night. He smelled a strong smell of alcohol and asked in a low voice, “Have you been drinking?”
“I drank a little with a friend, but only a little.” She made a gesture with her fingers. “Most of the smell is because of my friend.”
Seeing the smile on Su Zhuoqian’s face relax, she also smiled. “Look, I’m so sober.”
“Come here, let me check.” The man’s voice was low and charming. His pleasant voice reached her ears, followed by his breath.
Qiao Weiyang subconsciously raised her arm, thinking that he wanted to smell her clothes to check.
However, the next second, he clasped her hands behind her back and lowered his head.
As his handsome face was magnified, Qiao Weiyang felt something cold on her lips.
But when they came into contact, sparks spread and warmth rose rapidly.
Qiao Weiyang’s fingers curled up, and she couldn’t break free from his grip. She could only stretch out her fingers in his palm, clench them, and open them again.
Then, she heard Su Zhuoqian’s calm and satisfied voice. “You didn’t drink much.”
She didn’t drink much, but Qiao Weiyang felt a little tipsy now. Even her eyes were glazing over.
Looking at his long eyelashes, his facial features seemed a little blurry. But he looked even more breathtaking.
She could not help but stand on her tiptoes and bite his good-looking thin lips.
She heard Su Zhuoqian’s low and hoarse laughter.
She looked up at him. “I went out with Xiao Qing today. She has liked a man for a long time, but he doesn’t have the same feelings for her. She can’t persist anymore. She’s tired and bitter. She broke down and drank a lot. Although I’ve long advised her to give up on her feelings, when I saw her in so much pain, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was the one in pain instead.”
Su Zhuoqian’s smile dissipated. He clasped her fingers and exerted a little strength. “But you got what you wanted.”
“Yes, the person I like has the same feelings for me,” Qiao Weiyang said seriously. “That’s why I cherish everything I have now. It’s just that sometimes, I wonder how long love will last. How long will a person love another?”
She didn’t drink much, but she was still intoxicated. When she was slightly intoxicated, she would be more sentimental than usual.
Su Zhuoqian’s hand moved along her waist and slowly climbed up her shoulder. He held her shoulders slightly. “I’ve never fallen in love with anyone before, and there’s a high chance that I won’t love anyone else in the future. Therefore, I don’t dare to say that I’ll love someone forever. I don’t have that kind of experience. But are you willing to give it a try with me?”
Qiao Weiyang raised her head and nodded firmly. “Yes. Let’s give it a try together.”
“It might take many years…”
Qiao Weiyang smiled. “Then let’s try for many years.”
Su Zhuoqian lowered his head and touched his forehead to hers. When he thought of the many years in the future, he could not help but hold her tightly as if he wanted to embed her in his bones.
Qiao Weiyang looked at the reflection in his eyes and said in a low voice, “I’ve been in a relationship with someone before. I thought it was true love. Now that I think about it, it was just my dependence. I treated dependence as love when I was alone and helpless in the world.”
“Have you distinguished between dependence and love now?” Su Zhuoqian’s voice was a little breathless, low, and unstable.
“Yes… Dependence means that one’s heart doesn’t belong to anyone, while love means that one wants to grow with the other person.”
…
“Jierou, I heard the news! You’ve passed the preliminaries!” Huang Shumin rushed into the living room happily.
“Why are you being so rash?” Old Madam Qiao was drinking tea and said unhappily.
“Mom, you don’t know yet, right? I asked a friend to ask around. In this preliminary round, five people from S Country will be chosen to participate in the finals of the International Fashion Design Competition. Our Jierou is ranked second. The results will be out tonight.”
“Really?” Old Madam Qiao was overjoyed. “Then we have to celebrate.”
“That’s right. If Jierou wins the grand prize of the international competition, our Qiao Group’s clothes will become popular. All the fabric and clothes will quickly occupy the market. Moreover, the share price will rise steadily.”
Huang Shumin looked forward to the future with a smile.
Old Madam Qiao nodded repeatedly. Ocean was taken away by Qiao Weiyang, and Li Liangting’s clothes also occupied a large market. Now, the development of Qiao Group was much slower than a few years ago.
Although everyone was trying to think of a way, it was to little avail.
If Qiao Jierou could win the competition, everything would be different. Just as Huang Shumin had said, Qiao Group would really reach the peak again.
“This is very good!”
“Grandma, what are you guys happy about?” Qiao Jierou walked over and asked.
“We’re talking about your good results in the preliminaries!”
“Really? I got second place!” Qiao Jierou was overjoyed. “Then who got first place?”
“There are a total of five slots. You got one, and the fifth place is Hu Haitian. As for the other three, since they’re not from our family, I didn’t bother asking.”
