[Quick Wear] On strike, please don't disturb your ex

Chapter 263: The Substitute Lover is on Strike (48)

The room fell silent again. The air seemed to freeze and time seemed to stop flowing.

Soon, Cheng Fanli pointed at the door and said, "I'll give you three minutes to leave my house, or I'll call the police."

"You probably don't want to be on the news."

Cheng Fanli's merciless words were like a sharp blade, piercing Xiao Shuyuan's chest with incredible accuracy.

Xiao Shuyuan pursed his lips tightly, looking at Cheng Fanli's face, feeling distressed, angry, and anxious, with veins popping out on his forehead, as if he had to use great effort to control his emotions.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "Think about it carefully, I'll come back tomorrow."

Cheng Fanli quickly refused, "No, don't come again."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly to the door, opened it in a hurry, and then closed it forcefully. His movements seemed a little hasty and flustered, as if he was afraid to hear what Cheng Fanli was going to say next.

He stood quietly at the door, motionless.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Xiao Shuyuan instinctively turned his head and saw a hat and a pair of sunglasses appear in front of him, and then they were stuffed into his hands.

He was about to speak when the door was ruthlessly closed again. He stared blankly at the closed door.

I don't know how long I stood there until I heard a clear prompt tone in my ears, indicating that the elevator had stopped at this floor. Xiao Shuyuan came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. At this time, a man walked out of the elevator, looking down and playing with his mobile phone intently, without looking up at Xiao Shuyuan's face.

Xiao Shuyuan put on his hat and sunglasses, lowered the brim of his hat, walked into the elevator and left.

The next day after work, Cheng Fanli and her colleague were about to go out for dinner when her colleague suddenly received a call saying that her child was sick. She was very anxious after hearing the news, then told Cheng Fanli about the situation and went home.

Cheng Fanli was about to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Not long after she walked, a black Bugatti stopped in front of Cheng Fanli.

Cheng Fanli knew it was Xiao Shuyuan without much thought.

First, she did recognize the car, and second, Xiao Shuyuan said yesterday that he would come to see her today. Although she told him not to come, it was obvious that Xiao Shuyuan didn't listen at all.

Cheng Fanli looked at the man getting out of the passenger seat and did not stop, preparing to walk around the car.

After taking just two steps, he was forced to stop where he was.

Cheng Fanli turned around and looked at her wrist that was being held. She tried to shake it off, but failed.

With a frown on his face, he said in a cold tone, "Xiao Shuyuan, let go."

Xiao Shuyuan looked into Cheng Fanli's eyes and said, "You have a bad temper now."

I used to call him Brother Shu, but after he moved out, I started calling him Mr. Xiao, as if to distance ourselves.

The eyes that once looked at him full of love now showed no emotion.

Even after he explained, she didn't agree to move back and kept saying that they had broken up.

He also said that he did not agree.

Xiao Shuyuan was also reflecting that he might have done something wrong in some aspects, but it was not to the point of breaking up.

He thought a lot last night. He wanted to admit his mistake and say sorry to Cheng Fanli. He wanted to tell her that he liked her. He wanted to tell her that he didn't care about her. He even planned to marry her next year...

Perhaps he is not good at or unwilling to express his liking and love, and he does not understand that the relationship between them is neither normal nor fair. His attitude towards love and marriage is a bit repulsive. In his eyes, parents who were once in love would quarrel, divorce and cheat, and friends outside the circle who were affectionate to their wives all day long would end up getting divorced through lawsuits. There are many such examples. Xiao Shuyuan is in the entertainment industry and has seen many such things, which just shows that marriage is not the beginning or the end of happiness.

But Cheng Fanli was a little different to him.

Xiao Shuyuan couldn't confirm whether he liked her or not, but he knew that he didn't want her to leave.

One day she got drunk and clung to him, refusing to let him leave her side. She said a lot of nonsense, one of which was: Will you marry me?

The memory is so deep because these words were accompanied by Cheng Fanli's tears.

Xiao Shuyuan actually didn't like Cheng Fanli crying very much. In fact, she didn't cry very often. After she followed Xiao Shuyuan, almost all her tears were related to Xiao Shuyuan.

Later, Cheng Fanli answered herself, "Why would you marry me..."

When he woke up the next day, Cheng Fanli had completely forgotten what happened last night.

But it left a deep impression on Xiao Shuyuan.

When he realized his true feelings, he was extremely conflicted and then made the decision to marry Cheng Fanli.

He didn't tell Cheng Fanli because he knew that Cheng Fanli would definitely agree.

And without hesitation.

It's only been half a year, but everything seems to have changed completely.

He didn't know that Cheng Fanli was so sad and in pain.

He also thought that if they changed the way they got along, what ordinary people called dating, and then told Cheng Fanli what he had in mind, Cheng Fanli would probably be willing to go back with him.

Only after he figured it out did Xiao Shuyuan fall asleep.

It was already early morning.

Ever since Cheng Fanli proposed breaking up that day, he hasn't had a good sleep in the past few days.

Xiao Shuyuan came to see Cheng Fanli again with confidence.

Xiao Shuyuan looked sincere, reflecting, "I know what you mind. If you want, we can just be in love, or get engaged. I won't be joining the crew for a long time. I haven't told you before. I originally planned to get married early next year, but now I want to get married sooner, preferably this year."

"You know, I haven't had anyone else these years. As for Yan Wenting, I've explained to you that she and I are just ordinary friends at most. We have no private contact. I've deleted her,"

Seeing that Cheng Fanli still wanted to shake off his hand, Xiao Shuyuan eased up a little, but still did not let go, and soothed her gently, "As for the attitude problem you mentioned, I will not make the same mistake again, and I will never leave you alone again."

He felt that Cheng Fanli just didn't want to be a lover who couldn't be seen in public anymore, so it was completely fine for him to make it public, as he had almost done last time. It was still on the trending searches and the topic remained high, with most of the comments being blessings, because Xiao Shuyuan was not an idol, he was a genuine and talented actor, and he was not young, already in his thirties. Instead, it was his fans who had been urging him to fall in love and not be lonely for the rest of his life.

Many people are curious about who his lover is, but Xiao Shuyuan does a good job of keeping it a secret, and there are no extreme fans who would go and dig up the details.

After thinking it through, Xiao Shuyuan was not so nervous anymore.

He moved closer to me and said, "Let's go home together after dinner. Don't talk about breaking up next time."

Perhaps I was too confident and didn't even consider the second possibility.
