Chapter 1773: There is So Much Beautiful Love in This World
It was a pity that she did not know how to tell Qu Xiujie that she was willing to accompany him but he was very conflicted and even unwilling to let Mao Nana stay in the house.
“No, uncle won’t choose to treat you like this because of this. I’ve said it before; he must want to protect you too much, that’s why he’s like this. But I also want to tell you that if you go after Uncle like this, aren’t you afraid that he’ll already have a family and children?”
“So what? It’s fine as long as we have feelings for each other. I don’t care if he gets anything else, I just want him alone.”
“That’s great. I really envy you. You can throw yourself into it for love.”
She blinked her beautiful eyes and continued speaking in a pleasant voice.
“If I were you, I might not have such courage. If he rejects me once, I can accept it. If he rejects me a second time, I can also accept it. But if he rejects me a third time, I might…”
“There are so many beautiful love stories in this world. How can we create such stories so easily? Every relations.h.i.+p requires a lot of effort. If I didn’t meet your uncle, I might not even know where I am right now.”
Mao Nana looked up at the gla.s.s window in the distance, as if she had seen a beautiful future.
“But after meeting him, I suddenly want to stop. I don’t want to have a strong career, nor do I want to be strong. I just want to wash his clothes and cook for him. I just want to sleep with him. I just want to live my life peacefully and happily. I don’t want to think about anything else. I just want to be with him and be well forever.”
Mao Nana smiled but did not know that Qu Xiujie did not go far. He just stood outside the door and listened to the person inside attentively as he used his hands to knock on the tiles on the wall.
The tiles were too hard and his nails were slightly red. His mottled look made one’s heart ache but it could not compare to the heartache he felt when he heard Mao Nana’s words. In Qu Xiujie’s world, no woman was willing to make such a huge sacrifice for him.
But now, he could not give her anything, not even a simple promise.
That was because Qu Xiujie was not sure how many hidden dangers were waiting for him in the distance. He did not know how extensive Old lady Qu’s spies were and did not even know how long he could stay in this house. How could he know what would happen if he agreed to let Mao Nana follow him?
Since he could not give her anything, he did not dare to promise her or give her hope.
Pei Ge looked at her enviously.
“You really resemble a friend of mine.”
Pei Ge only spoke after a while.
“Which friend?”
Mao Nana returned to her senses and turned to look at Pei Ge, only to realize that Pei Ge’s gaze was on the floor where Qu Xiujie had sat earlier.
“A lot like her, a lot like her. She became a silly girl for love, but I don’t know where she is now, nor do I know what she wants to do. I don’t even know what I am in this girl’s heart and whether I am a friend or not.”
Pei Ge sounded touched, but no matter how hard she tried to explain herself, she could not figure out if she was still her best friend.
“You mean Tang Xiaoyu?”
Mao Nana immediately said Tang Xiaoyu’s name.
“How did you know?”
Pei Ge was shocked. She could not remember telling Mao Nana about Tang Xiaoyu in this house, much less the funny things they did when they were together.
After all, these were their memories.
“I knew about it when I was in America. It’s been so many years, yet you two sisters can still be so good. I’m also very envious, unlike me. I’m alone no matter where I go, unless the company is generous and a.s.signs me an a.s.sistant and a makeup artist to accompany me. But none of them are my friends. They are just colleagues at work. You are probably the only one who has been my friend for the longest time.”
Mao Nana’s face was filled with sorrow. She had been alone for so many years, yet she only had Pei Ge, who she could still speak to despite not connecting for a long time. She would not feel awkward just because she was Ji Ziming’s CEO’s wife, nor would she feel estranged because she was the mother of the three children.
“Yes, but I don’t even know where Xiaoyu is now. How can I find her?”
Pei Ge felt a little sad, but there was nothing she could do other than wait quietly.
If not for the fact that Mao Nana was in the house, she probably would not know that the former had returned to the country.
The two of them were already in contact, yet it was as if they were not in contact. Anyone who heard this would be suspicious. What kind of possibility would it be if they were a family? Who would believe that they were two very good friends from before?
“What’s wrong with her?”
Mao Nana then realized that everyone in this house had their own troubles.
Many people were not as good as they seemed on the surface.
“She left on her own, yet she didn’t tell me anything. I didn’t receive any response to all the information I had spread. Even the friends overseas whom I approached didn’t receive any news. Sometimes, I’m really afraid that she really disappeared from this world. Sometimes, I’m also afraid that she really doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.”
“Don’t worry. I believe in Tang Xiaoyu. She probably ran out on her own to have fun and will come back eventually. I used to be like this, too, but I still came back safe and sound.”
Mao Nana consoled Pei Ge while worrying about where Tang Xiaoyu had gone. She had met Tang Xiaoyu once, but they were inexplicably familiar.
She seemed to have felt that something was amiss and that she had seen it somewhere before.
However, it had been too long and Mao Nana could not remember anything.
“I know that no news is good news. I also know that she will come back to look for me once she has thought things through, but I’m worried about her. I’ve never been in contact with her for so long, and I’ve never thought that she would feel so sad and sad.”
