My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One

Chapter 37 - Married {3}

"Alright, we don't need to discuss all this matter any further. Next week you will marry Xiao Long, and Mother is very happy about it. Don't talk about the past, let's talk about the future. You and Xiao Long are a very sweet and lovely couple. I really like it." Qiao Xin smiled again. Hearing how happy her mother was about her marriage with Xiao Long touched Qiao Xin. If only this marriage were a real marriage, together with a man she loved so much, Qiao Xin would feel delighted. But now, the story was different, let alone the man she loved. Even the man looked down on Qiao Xin very seriously. "Mother, An Xin, and your uncle will come the day before you and Xiao Long get married. I can't wait to see you get married, Qiao. Your father must be very happy to see this, when his first daughter married the right man, and was able to let go of the burden of being the breadwinner of the family. Once again, thank you Qiao, you are a God-given blessing to our family. You are not only the one who always strengthens Mom and Dad, but you can also help the family to the last drop of blood. How happy and proud I am to have a daughter as strong as you. Once again, thank you,"

"Mother, what are you saying? I have absolutely no problem at all, Mother. Helping the family is an obligation that I have to do as the first child, and you guys are not a burden to me at all. In fact, it's because you guys always keep me motivated at work, I really enjoy the days when I'm useful to you," Qiao Xin replied. How could she possibly want to talk about her pain? About all the things that Qiao Xin had felt. No, Qiao Xin wasn't that weak. Let the sick feel alone, and she is happy to share with her family. Because in truth, Qiao Xin didn't want her family to feel the way she felt.

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot. About your work, is everything okay?" Qiao Xin immediately turned her head when her mother asked about her work. She can't tell the truth if she no longer works at the company she has been working for. Qiao Xin seemed to be smiling wryly, and she was really at a loss as to what she should say to her mother. Since being honest, lying wasn't her forte, and she was already burdened with lies about her marriage, it felt even more difficult for Qiao Xin to have to lie again about her work matters. "Qiao, everything is fine right? Your job is fine right? And what about Jia Ming? Is he healthy? Mother hadn't seen him in a long time, and he hadn't been here in a long time either. I think he's very busy right now, because the last time he came was next year with his girlfriend. Jia Ming said that his company was in bad shape. I always wish the best for you as well as for Jia Ming, I hope you can always stick together. Keep fighting in the face of the crisis at the company, I am sure if you keep trying then you will find a solution to the problems you are facing."

"Yes, Ma'am. We are still very close always, I still work there, and Jia Ming is indeed very busy. Some time ago, W Corporation had secured a valid investor from a very large company. So Mom, don't worry if Jia Ming and I will do a lot of hard work, together with new investors I am very sure, let alone ten years, even if the descendant of Jia Ming is the seventh though W Corporation will never experience significant financial difficulties,"

"Is it really like that?" Qiao Xin's mother asked, holding her daughter's hand. Qiao Xin returned a faint smile, then she nodded. "Oh my God, thank God. Mother was very relieved, seeing Jia Ming succeed with his company was very encouraging, and my daughter working there as a friend of the owner of the company was also a joy. At least Mom is now happy and calm, my daughter has a well-established job and won't be afraid of going bankrupt either. You should thank Jia Ming very much, Qiao. Because he has been willing to make you an employee in his company. You are clumsy and easily angered, but Jia Ming still faithfully regards you as a friend. You should thank me, and convey my thanks to Jia Ming."

Is Jia Ming a good friend?

Hearing that, Qiao Xin smiled wryly. Qiao Xin had no idea how good her best friend was. The attitude had broken the heart of her best friend, who had pawned her for an investment, and Qiao Xin would never forget that painful thing. As if who had betrayed her, she felt even more pain than being betrayed by Jia Min herself. How could Qiao Xin feel that bad, the two men Qiao Xin knew and thought she would never leave her. It turned out that they had both cheated on her? And now that Qiao Xin realized she also knew if standing on her own feet without depending on others was what she had to do now. Yes, she doesn't want to care about anyone, with any man. Because for her, all men are the same, only father and uncle are good.

"Yes, Mom. I will say that to Jia Ming."

"Surely he will come as your best man in the wedding, right?" her mother asked. Qiao Xin instantly fell silent, and she was even now speechless.

"No, Mother. Qiqi's best friend was on a business trip, although he really wanted to come to our wedding, but he couldn't do it. Probably a week after Qiqi and I got married he just came home. So, it is with a heavy heart that he cannot attend our wedding."

Qiao Xin immediately looked up, and she saw Xiao Long was already standing behind her. Honestly, her heart almost stopped beating. But Qiao Xin was relieved at what Xiao Long had said. Even if she knew more lies, more things she had to cover up, at least just this once, she would be free from her mother's questions about Jia Ming. Honestly, Qiao Xin seemed unable to if her mother continued to suppress her in this way.

"Oh well, it's great that you also get to know Qiao's best friend, Xiao Long," Qiao Xin's mother said, then she smiled sweetly. "Yeah, it's quite late. You also have to go back to work tomorrow and take care of your marriage which is only a short time away. So you guys please go to sleep and rest."

"What? Sleep?" Qiao Xin asked with a stupid look on her face.

"Yeah, sleep. What do you want, Qiao?" her mother asked.

Yes, Qiao Xin knew that now she had to sleep. The problem is, sleep in what sense. There is Xiao Long here, and where should that man sleep? What is the meaning of sleep that her mother meant? Qiao Xin didn't understand that at all.

"Then?" she asked again with that innocent face. Qiao Xin's mother immediately chuckled at the confused look on her daughter's face.

"Qiao, you are already getting married. Why do you look this confused? Sleep, yes sleep. You sleep with Xiao Long, and Mother sleeps with An Xin. Isn't that very clear?"

"Not!"

"Well!"

Qiao Xin and Xiao Long looked at each other, Qiao Xin's face looked angry at Xiao Long's answer. How come the man agreed to sleep together in one room? A thing that was beyond reason, and Qiao Xin didn't agree at all! Qiao Xin must be sure that Xiao Long has a devious plan against her. Or it could be that Xiao Long would rape her in the middle of the night while she was asleep, and Qiao Xin would not allow that to happen!

"Qiao, what are you saying? Even Xiao Long has agreed to it," repeated her mother.

"But, Ma'am. We're not officially married yet, how can we sleep in the same room?" said Qiao Xin, who was still trying to disobey her mother's orders.

"Qiao, you know, in our house there are only two rooms and each bed is quite narrow. And we don't have a sofa, and it would be very rude to let Xiao Long sleep outside, and not sleep properly." Xiao Long seemed to be smiling, and he stuck his tongue out at Qiao Xin as if making fun of it, seeing that Qiao Xin got even more annoyed by Xiaolong. "You guys are also getting married soon, so you guys sleep together. Sleep, do nothing else. Besides, don't you also have the apartment you shared with your ex-boyfriend, Qiao?"

Qiao Xin almost choked on hearing that from her mother, and she didn't expect her mother and Xiao Long to conspire so perfectly. Xiao Long immediately embraced Qiao Xin, and he smiled so sweetly.

"You know, Ma'am. Qiqi when she is with me she is very shy. So acting like this is natural, and I think this Qiqi is really cute. Isn't it Qiqi?" Xiao Long said. Qiao Xin brushed away Xiao Long's hand that was pinching her nose, and then she looked at her mother.

"Okay, Ma'am. It's late, Mother and An Xin please go to sleep. Xiao Long and I will also be going to bed soon. Good night, Mother," said Qiao Xin, walked with Xiao Long to her room, then locked it tightly, looking at Xiao Long with a highly annoyed look on her face. "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately want to sleep in the same room with me because you have bad intentions right? You want to rape me while I'm sleeping in my sleep, I know your cunning brain!" Qiao Xin joked.
