Am I the third party?
When Blue Heart asked this question, the forced and guilty smile on Xiao Zheng's face instantly disappeared, replaced by boundless guilt.
Third party?
Why did she think that?
Perhaps it was because of her harmless character that she blamed herself for all the mistakes? Even though she was clearly injured, she wouldn't judge anyone with ill intentions. For a woman, what kind of heart and kindness was this?
Xiao Zheng's gaze became slightly sad. His gaze fell on Blue Heart's face and he shook his head, saying, "No."
He couldn't let Blue Heart suffer like this. Even before he and Blue Heart had gotten together, he and Lin Huayin had an arranged marriage.
"But wasn't it Director Lin who arranged for you to enter the company?" Blue Heart let out a slight sigh of relief. Her pale face also relaxed a bit.
If she wasn't the third party, then her guilt would be much smaller.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded, his tone becoming as gentle as possible. "I met Director Lin before I entered the company."
"You two — — How did you meet?" A trace of curiosity appeared in Blue Heart's eyes.
Their meeting must have been a wonderful one, right?
"You definitely wouldn't have guessed." In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Xiao Zheng did his best to maintain a smile. "It was a night. She was being harassed by a boring person at a bar. I went up to help her solve her problem. Then, we sat together and drank. In the end, we both got drunk … … "
Xiao Zheng's memories of that night were extremely hazy. He didn't even remember what he had said to Lin Huayin or what they had talked about. However, even if he didn't say anything, Blue Heart could guess what had happened.
She was kind, but she wasn't stupid. As a successful woman who had struggled in the business world for many years, how could she not guess what had happened between Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin?
"So — — You two got together?" Blue Heart was the same as Xiao Zheng, doing her best to control her chaotic emotions. She didn't want to be an ungentlemanly woman, especially in front of Xiao Zheng.
However, if everything was as Xiao Zheng said, then she … … was still the third party?
"How could it be so simple?" Xiao Zheng ordered another cocktail. Melodious music drifted into their ears. Although the atmosphere of the bar was elegant, the hearts of the two were extremely solemn.
"You also know Boss Lin's temper. She usually finds it annoying to even look at a man. How am I better than other men? " Xiao Zheng drank a mouthful of wine and maintained a faint smile on his face. It was as if he was chatting with an old friend. Under the gentle music, he slowly said. "After that night, I continued to look for my job. CEO Lin was still as energetic as ever, controlling Xin Ao. We don't have any contact. Until one day, CEO Lin ordered someone to give me a call. "
"Why did he look for you?" Blue Heart did her best to calm down and asked.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Zheng's abstruse eyes as he slowly said, "I didn't know it at that time. But when I entered the CEO's office, I realized that I had stirred up a hornet's nest. "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued, "That night was Boss Lin's critical period. The doctor told her that there was a high probability of pregnancy. So, she asked me … "
"You had to take responsibility?" Blue Heart's heart trembled as she asked dispiritedly.
"That's what I thought at the time," Xiao Zheng bitterly smiled. "But after a series of negotiations, I signed a very strange agreement with her."
"Agreement?" Blue Heart, who was a professional in this area, asked curiously. "What agreement?"
"A marriage agreement," Xiao Zheng said straightforwardly.
"What!?" Blue Heart's expression changed and she panicked. "You're already married?"
"It's already been canceled," Xiao Zheng slowly said. "After confirming that she wasn't pregnant, the agreement was automatically canceled."
Blue Heart's heart slightly trembled. Even though the agreement had been canceled, the two of them still maintained their relationship and lived together. This meant that there was no longer a need for an agreement to bind them together. They treated each other with affection.
"No matter what …" Blue Heart said in a soft voice. "Everything I did was to destroy the relationship between the two of you."
Blue Heart was not a woman who was good at hiding her emotions. All of her emotions and emotions were displayed on her face and eyes. It was easy for others to see through her.
With Xiao Zheng's sharp eyes, how could he not guess what Blue Heart was thinking?
He took a sip of his cocktail and said fairly, "In reality, when I was with you, my relationship with Boss Lin was like fire and water. She could kick me out at any moment. As for me, I could only live under someone else's roof. This is also why I never brought you to my house. "
Hearing this, Blue Heart's heart softened slightly. She muttered, "If I knew that you and Boss Lin had been together for a long time, I wouldn't have …"
"Everyone has the right to pursue happiness and love." Xiao Zheng's words suddenly changed, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face. "However, I cannot guarantee that what you pursue is happiness and not pain."
This was an extremely complicated and painful love triangle.
One was Lin Huayin, who had the advantage in time.
The other was a gentle woman who had first entered Xiao Zheng's heart.
Xiao Zheng was with Lin Huayin because he had met the right person at the wrong time. As for Blue Heart, he had met the wrong person at the right time.
Blue Heart faintly understood what Xiao Zheng was implying.
Was he hinting at her?
Was he telling her that she should let go? Because he definitely wouldn't leave Lin Huayin. Was it because he definitely wouldn't be with her?
Blue Heart found it hard to breathe, as if she was suffocating. Even after drinking a few cocktails, a pained expression flashed across her rosy face.
Before Xiao Zheng had appeared, she had been conflicted, pained, and unable to make a choice.
But now, Xiao Zheng seemed to be helping her make a choice. He had given her a choice.
Could she beat Lin Huayin?
Could she snatch Xiao Zheng away from Lin Huayin?
In what way could she be better than Lin Huayin?
Since she wasn't his opponent, why bring humiliation upon herself?
Blue Heart's eyes instantly became red, and large tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.
She knew. Even if this relationship wasn't easy to obtain, even if this friendship was a priceless treasure in her heart. But now that things had come to this, what leeway did she have? What else could she do in this relationship that would be futile?
She wiped away the tears on her face. Her originally gentle and moving snow-white face was now in an extremely sorry state. Then, she raised her cocktail and offered it to Xiao Zheng, saying, "Xiao Zheng, let's have a drink."
Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly. Now that things had come to this, he could only accept this cruel reality.
Raising his glass, Xiao Zheng squeezed out a smile, saying, "Cheers."
The two of them raised their heads and silently drank the wine. There was only bitterness left in their mouths, endless bitterness.
At that moment, a young man in a well-ironed suit walked onto the stage. He was slightly drunk, and after greeting the band, he picked up the microphone and said with a silly smile, "This song is for you, my dead love. My unforgettable first love. "
The young men and women at the same table as him all had dim expressions. They didn't know how to persuade him.
The man had succeeded. He had a successful career. But at the most glorious moment of his life, he had lost his precious first love.
"When all the people left me, they left me. You persuaded me to wait patiently and accompanied me through the longest winter of my life. You were so forgiving. When all the people, close to me. You wanted me to be calm. You seemed to know that I had a restless heart and was easily moved. I finally let thousands of hands wave in front of me. I finally had thousands of passionate smiles. I finally let the crowd be deeply moved by me, but I forgot to tell you that you have always been in my heart. Ah, I finally lost you. In the crowd. I finally lost you. When I felt glorious for the first time in my life … "
