C196 (1/2)

Qiao Xuan turned his head and saw that not far behind her, there was a person smiling and waving at her.

It was Sheng Qian.

The two of them went to the same restaurant. As usual, Sheng Qian helped her order a meal, grabbed a tissue and asked while smiling: ”Do you miss me?”

He was darker and skinnier than before, even his style of dressing was different from before. Dressed in jeans and camel s clothing, he looked like a college student who had just graduated. Qiao Xuan could not imagine what he had experienced during this period.

Instead of answering his question, she asked, ”When did you come back?”

”Two days ago.” Sheng Qian's face and eyes, when he smiled, were still filled with charms.

”Is it bitter there?” Qiao Xuan lowered his head and stirred his coffee.

”Not bad, it's just a little cold.” Sheng Qian said indifferently, and then showed her his phone.

Qiao Xuan took it and saw that there were many of his photos on it. He was wearing a thick suit and was riding on a yak as he followed the locals through the endless snow. And he went on a pilgrimage to Lhasa, bowing three times, reverently holding the scripture in his hand and chanting around the Potala Palace.

While Qiao Xuan was looking at it, Sheng Qian reached out his hand and handed over a scripture to her: ”This is for you.”

Qiao Xuan looked at him with a face full of sincerity, to the point that he couldn't even say a word of rejection. Just like when he went to Europe, he wanted to retrace the route she took.

After Qiao Xuan returned home, he opened the Scroll of Transposition and took out a piece of paper. On it was a poem:

That day, close your eyes in the mist of the shop, suddenly hear the verses of your chanting mantra

That month, I shook all the trolleys, not for excess, just to touch your fingertips

That year, kowtowing long prostrate on the mountain road, not for audience, just to stick close to your warmth

”In that life, turning the mountains and rivers to the pagodas, ah, not for the rebirth, but for meeting you on the way”

Qiao Xuan closed his eyes as tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

The trees in the early spring began to sprout, and the ice on the surface of the river slowly melted away. Sheng Liang's name once again appeared on the front pages of various websites.

When Qiao’s father saw their pictures, he was so shocked that he started stuttering, ”Isn't she... That... Little Luo? ”

Their gazes then gathered on Qiao Xuan, but they saw that she was still carefully pruning the flowers, as if the two people in the news had nothing to do with her.

Even if she still cared about him, what could she do about it? It was her choice, and seeing that he was doing well, she felt that it was worth it.

Recently, a few leading companies had started to call her. They must have seen the news and knew that she could no longer work at Sheng Liang's company, so they set their eyes on her.

However, the company they recommended had mediocre talent, so she was not interested.

Another headhunter called her that day, and since she had nothing to do, she went to meet with this person. He said that he had a good company that asked her to be its vice president.

”What company? Do you have any information on them?” From the other party's confident smile, Qiao Xuan guessed that it would be different from the other companies.

The person laughed, then said lightly: ”There's no need for any information, Miss Qiao should have also heard of it, and that's Lan Xi International.”

Lan Xi International, Qiao Xuan naturally knew that it was a subsidiary of the Xilin Family of the north, and was one of the top five hundred enterprises in the entire world.
