Looking at her parents' concerned expressions, Gu Xiaan really couldn't say that she had already broken up with Cheng Ran. She could only vaguely say, "My friends only get married in their thirties. I'm still young now. There's no hurry."
"You're not in a hurry, but I am." Gu Xiaan's mother poked her daughter's cheek and smiled. "You were already born when I was your age. Besides, Cheng Ran is older than you. If you're not in a hurry, isn't she?"
"That was then. Now is now. Girls nowadays want to work hard for their careers. Besides, with Cheng Ran's family situation, if we really get married, they might start to hasten her pregnancy."
Gu Xiaan hugged her mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, I didn't study for so many years to be a housewife. Are you really willing to let your daughter give up her career at such a good age to be a housewife?"
Gu Xiaan's mother urged Gu Xiaan to get married out of habit. Now that she heard Gu Xiaan say that she could only be a "housewife" after marriage, her urging voice instantly became softer.
Yes, Gu Xiaan had been very competitive since she was young. If she were to give up her job and become a housewife, she would definitely feel terrible in her heart even if she didn't say anything.
Besides, Cheng Ran's family was so well-off. After marriage, there was a high chance that she would ask Gu Xiaan to be a housewife.
Since the girl liked to work, then continue to work. When she gave birth to a child, she and Old Gu would have retired. Then, they would sell the house and buy a house near the girl's house to stay in the capital to serve the girl.
Gu Xiaan's mother saw this and didn't continue to ask.
After perfunctorily talking to her parents, Gu Xiaan returned to her room. She opened her phone and looked at the photo of her and Cheng Ran in the photo album. She silently cried.
The two of them had been together for so many years. How could they break up just like that?
She had always known that Cheng Ran liked Xiao Qinghe. Because she liked her, she deliberately forgot about it. Later, Cheng Ran became more and more upset with her. Gu Xiaan felt that even if Cheng Ran didn't completely forget Xiao Qinghe, at least she still had her in her heart. As long as she persevered, they would definitely get married.
She never expected that Cheng Ran would lose her composure to such an extent because of Xiao Qinghe after just one meeting. How could she forget that look?
Gu Xiaan was clear that as long as she pretended to be confused like before, this matter would pass.
But this time, she didn't want to.
She was a human. She had a heart, and her heart would also feel sad. She was clearly in a relationship like Cheng Ran, but why did she have to suffer so much?
Since Cheng Ran liked Xiao Qinghe so much, she would fulfill his wish.
Even if it was painful to be separated from Cheng Ran, it would be fine once he got used to it.
The Earth would spin if it left anyone. He had left Cheng Ran, but wasn't he still living well?
The only difficult thing was how to tell his parents that he was not going home for a short stay, but that he had broken up with Cheng Ran, resigned, and returned home.
This time, she was prepared to stay at home and find a job in her hometown. As for the rest, she would see.
After being in a relationship for so many years, she was already physically and mentally exhausted. She was only in her twenties, but she felt that her body and mind were already incomparably old. She was already so old that she didn't have the strength to start another relationship.
Gu Xiaan's parents' leave was about to expire. They wanted to extend their leave to continue staying at home with their daughter, but Gu Xiaan said that she didn't have time to go out for a walk after returning home. While her parents were at work, she could take the opportunity to go out for a walk and see the changes in her hometown.
With Gu Xiaan's parents around, Gu Xiaan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to have fun, so she went to work.
After Gu Xiaan sent his parents out of school, he drove straight to the supermarket to buy groceries to prepare dinner for his parents. In the end, when he went downstairs, he saw Cheng Ran standing downstairs.
After not seeing him for a few days, Cheng Ran had lost a lot of weight. His handsome face was so thin that his cheeks were sunken. His chin was unshaven, and there were bruises under his eyes. He didn't have the handsome look of a domineering CEO anymore. After changing his clothes, he was simply a homeless uncle.
Gu Xiaan didn't expect to meet Cheng Ran under such circumstances, and Cheng Ran looked so pathetic. He was instantly stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to realize that they had broken up. Gu Xiaan's face darkened, and he immediately turned around and walked upstairs.
The moment Cheng Ran saw Gu Xiaan, her heart that had been fluttering in her chest finally settled down.
Cheng Ran looked at Gu Xiaan in a daze. Cheng Ran called out in a daze, "An 'an …"
But before she could finish saying "An 'an", she saw Gu Xiaan's face suddenly darken. He immediately turned around and walked towards the residential area.
Cheng Ran was stunned. She hurriedly chased after him and finally caught up with Gu Xiaan downstairs.
Cheng Ran hugged Gu Xiaan without caring about anything else. Her chin was tightly pressed against Gu Xiaan's shoulder. Her voice was low and deep with a hint of crying. She felt extremely wronged. "An 'an, let's not break up, okay?"
Cheng Ran had always been arrogant and cool in front of outsiders. She had never behaved like this before. Gu Xiaan was used to Cheng Ran's domineering attitude. At this moment, when he saw Cheng Ran's fragile appearance, his heart softened. He almost nodded and agreed.
But on second thought, he thought of how Cheng Ran looked when she saw Xiao Qinghe. He made up his mind and said directly, "We've already broken up. Mr. Cheng, if you continue to be like this, I'll call the police."
Cheng Ran knew that if she let go, Gu Xiaan would definitely run back immediately. If she wanted to see him again, it would be harder than climbing a mountain.
Cheng Ran hugged Gu Xiaan tightly. As she hugged him, she said shamelessly, "If you want to call the police, then call the police. Anyway, I won't let go even if I die."
Gu Xiaan was used to seeing Cheng Ran's arrogant and cool side. This was the first time he saw Cheng Ran being so shameless. Gu Xiaan almost laughed out of anger.
Gu Xiaan lifted his foot and wanted to step on Cheng Ran's foot. But Cheng Ran had already expected it and lifted her foot. Gu Xiaan's foot instantly missed. He was so angry that he ground his teeth.
Cheng Ran hugged Gu Xiaan and said, "An 'an, I haven't been eating or sleeping well recently. I've been thinking about you all day. I know I'm wrong. Let's not break up, okay?"
"No." Gu Xiaan sneered. "We're still together. You can't even bear to look at Xiao Qinghe. If we reconcile, I'm afraid there will be a grassland on my head."
"No, no, I won't see him again." Cheng Ran continued to promise. "I've already told my assistant that I won't go anywhere where Xiao Qinghe is in the future. Also, I've already blocked all her contact information. I've also cut off all contact with anyone who speaks up for her. An 'an, let's reconcile. I can't do without you."
When he heard Cheng Ran's humble apology, Gu Xiaan's heart had already softened. Now that he heard Cheng Ran's promise, Gu Xiaan's tone instantly softened. He asked Cheng Ran, "You promise?"
