"Sammy."
Cheng Mo stood by the car door, one car away from Xia Mang. He saw Xia Mang standing by the other car door with her head lowered. She did not look up at him. She lowered her head as if she was thinking about something, or perhaps she was adjusting something. After a while, she raised her head and looked away from him. She said calmly,"Okay, you have one chance to confess now.”
This wasn't their first relationship. Once something happened, they would throw a tantrum and ignore others. After experiencing it, they knew how to get along better. Raorao's incident had happened too suddenly, or rather, her journey with Cheng Mo had been too smooth. Although she was upset, had her guesses, doubts, anger, and sadness, she could still maintain her calm and rationality.
'Sammy…' Cheng Mo sighed in his heart and walked closer.
"Don't move. Just stand where you are and talk.”Xia Mang took a step back. After spending some time with Cheng Mo, she liked to stick to him more and more. It was a sweet feeling that had gradually become a habit. However, at this moment, she did not want this feeling to affect her judgment.
"Then let's sit in the car. Uncle and Auntie will be worried if they see us standing like this.”
Cheng Mo was right. His mother was likely to be observing the two of them from the window. Xia Mang hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Cheng Mo before opening the car door and getting in. Cheng Mo's hand reached out, but before it could touch Xia Mang's cheek, Xia Mang turned her head. Cheng Mo was stunned and retracted his hand with a smile.
"The two families are indeed happy to see this happen and have the intention to matchmake, but this doesn't mean that I can only choose Chen Su Rao as my marriage partner.”Cheng Mo spoke calmly without any guilt or worry." It's just that your relationship with the Chen family is a little unexpected.”
"Since you know that I work at The New Age, how could you not have expected that I would face this embarrassment one day?”Or was he planning to arrange for her to jump ship?
Cheng Mo quickly grabbed Xia Mang's hand, not giving her a chance to dodge. The warmth of his palm wrapped around Xia Mang's tightly."It might be a little tough next.”Halfway through his sentence, he turned around and caressed Xiamang's cheek with his other hand. At this moment, his expression was firm, gentle, and calm."Don't give up so easily. Will Sammy agree?”
"Did you and Raorao start?" Xiamang took this to heart. He could not imagine that he would one day play the role of a third party.
"No, I haven't." The answer was very certain.
"But you knew that she liked you, but you didn't reject her. You didn't make it clear.”Between acceptance and rejection was ambiguity. Xia Mang's heart ached.
Cheng Mo was silent. Yes, silence. Life was so realistic, and so were feelings. He loved her, and he chased after her. He couldn't wait for a year and a half. If he didn't succeed, he would clean up his mood and change his target. She loved him, but he didn't love her. However, before there was a better candidate and target, they would be ambiguous. Wasn't this what relationships were all about? No one had to be with anyone, and no one could not live without someone. But what right did she have to criticize others? When she first accepted him, didn't she also make up her mind to accept more than she gave? She had to protect herself and love him less than he did?
"What do you plan to do now? I don't want to hurt Raorao, and I don't want the friendship between Dad and Uncle Chen to be ruined in my hands.”A relationship was a matter between two people. However, when she thought about what would happen next, Xia Mang couldn't help but think back and think about what had happened. She made a hypothesis in her heart. If she had known about Cheng Mo and Raorao, she definitely wouldn't have accepted this relationship.
"I'm sorry, Sammy."
Xia Mang knew that he was not someone who would apologize easily. Her heart softened. Both parties had responsibilities in their relationship. They had to persevere, work hard, and protect each other. Strictly speaking, she was the one who had provoked him first. She shouldn't have blamed Cheng Mo and vented her anger on him. If possible, he definitely wouldn't want to see today's situation.
"I'm sorry." Xia Mang lowered her head. She had always been brave enough to admit her mistakes. It was the same when she was with Xu Wenhao. When she lost her temper, she would apologize when she felt that she had gone overboard.
Cheng Mo was not Xu Wenhao, so he would not repeat the same sentence with a smile. He pinched Xiamang's face and reached out to carry her in front of him."Just don't give up so easily."
Not giving up easily? The last relationship lasted for four years, and this relationship had only lasted for more than half a year. How could she want to give up just like that? If she gave up now, she was afraid that her next relationship would be even shorter, or that there would not be a next relationship at all. At the thought of this, Xia Mang was extremely flustered and afraid. All she could do was bury her head in Cheng Mo's shoulder and seek temporary comfort."I don't want to hurt Rao Rao, but I don't want you to be ambiguous with her when you love me. The love I want can be imperfect, but it must be pure.”
Two things happened over the weekend.
Firstly, buying a car was once again on the Xiamang family's agenda. Of course, Xiamang resisted as usual. She did not want to be the chauffeur of the family. She did not go out much and it was more convenient for her to take a taxi than to park her car. However, ever since he returned from the Chen family, Father Xia's face had been a little pale. His tone was stiff and serious, as if he was holding back something and was about to explode. Xia Mang raised her head and glanced at her father. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her face was stern, and her lips were pursed. There were two deep lines at the corner of her mouth. Xia Mang's heart skipped a beat. He nodded and didn't dare to resist this time.
Secondly, Mother Xia had entered Xiamang's room on Saturday afternoon for a long talk between the mother and daughter. The topic of the conversation was Cheng Mo. Mother Xia taught Xiamang the concept of matching families with the same social status as an elder. She also talked about her relationship with the Chen family and mentioned the sisterhood between Xiamang and Raorao. She wanted her daughter to reconsider their relationship. Mother Xia had noticed the first time Cheng Mo came downstairs to wait for Xia Mang. It had been half a year since then. In this short period of time, it was the time when a relationship was at its strongest. Although Mother Xia didn't approve of it, she couldn't force her daughter to break up. Mother Xia was worried that Xiamang, who had been hurt once, would get hurt again in this relationship.
Xiamang lowered her head and listened, not refuting her mother's opinion and suggestion. How could he not understand? However, in this relationship, she always tried not to think about it, try not to analyze it, and try not to consider it. She selfishly thought about whether she could still love again and start a new relationship. She thought that as long as she gave less, even if she broke up one day, her heart would not hurt too much. But now?
Mother Xia looked at Xia Mang, sighed, and ended the conversation. She knew that her daughter had heard everything she said. She had always been an obedient child since she was young. The word 'rebellious' never seemed to have anything to do with Xiamang.
On Monday, Chen Su Rao officially started work at The New Age. Her first internship was in Xiamang's department. Everyone knew Chen Surao's identity, so they were especially warm to her. Xia Mang was speechless. Everyone had guessed that she had a deep relationship with Chen Surao, so all the work that Chen Surao did when she first arrived was assigned and guided by Xia Mang. The office used to be filled with people addressing her as "Sherlie" and "Assistant Sherlie", but now, she heard "Sammy" the most.
Facing Rao Rao, Xia Mang felt guilty, and perhaps there was even some unnoticeable awkwardness on his face. On the other hand, Chen Su Rao was not scheming and did not mind at all. She even went to the cafeteria with Xia Mang for lunch, chatting and laughing as usual. As the CEO's daughter, Chen Su Rao was exceptionally modest and polite. As such, her colleagues in the office were even more enthusiastic.
In the afternoon, flowers and chocolates were delivered as usual. Xiamang was in a meeting, so Mo Yan 'er took them and placed them on Xiamang's desk. Coincidentally, Chen Su Rao had prepared the information Xiamang needed.
"Wow, who gave it to you? Sammy's boyfriend?" Chen Su Rao exclaimed in surprise. She looked past the bouquet of roses and casually examined the box of chocolates.
This was not an ordinary chocolate, but a chocolate made by the Godiva workshop in belgium--there was only one specialty store in the city. The chocolates were very tempting, the packaging was beautiful, and the price was very expensive.
"He's Xiao Xia's boyfriend. He's been sending her away for several months now.”Mo Yan 'er's face was filled with happiness.
"Sammy is so blessed." Chen Su Rao also sighed. She looked at the chocolate again and walked towards her seat with a smile.
When Xia Mang returned from the meeting and saw the flowers and chocolates on the table, she subconsciously looked at Chen Surao, who was sitting diagonally in front of her. She happened to meet Chen Surao's gaze when she turned around to look at her. Chen Su Rao still had her usual elegant smile on her face. Her " cosmetic contact lenses " made her eyes look beautiful. It was a thin layer, but it hid her true emotions behind that thin layer, making people feel that there was quite a distance between them.
The more Rao Rao pretended not to know and acted as if nothing had happened, the more guilty Xia Mang felt.
