Xin Gan took a few steps, then suddenly stopped to look back at him, pursed her lips, and hesitated to speak.
Cheng Jiu looked at her and said, "What?"
After I get back, I'll first tell my family about the two of us.
Cheng Jiu raised his eyebrows, his meaning unclear.
Xin was willing to beat the drum but wanted to tell him all her thoughts, which was what was called making a statement with him in advance.
It was I who took the initiative to propose the dissolution of the marriage. If they blame me, then it will be my fault. I wanted to break the contract. It has nothing to do with you. I will explain it clearly to them and won't trouble you. I won't disturb you anymore after that.
Xin Gan took the initiative to take responsibility, also to reassure him, because it was indeed she who first proposed this matter. It was she who wanted to break off the marriage, and someone had to step in to take the blame for this.
Whether Cheng Jiu agreed or not, she was determined to confront both families about this matter.
Cheng Jiu let out a sigh but didn't respond. Instead, he asked her in return, "Are you so eager to cut ties with me?"
Xin Gan didn't tell him her true purpose, and she didn't want to tell him at this time either. So she made up an excuse and said, "It's my own problem. I don't want to get married so early."
Cheng Jiu didn't say another word. His gaze shifted away from her, looking into the distance. He hummed and said, "Understood. You go in."
Before leaving, Xin Gan thanked him, meaning to thank him for sending her to the airport.
Cheng Jiu still didn't say a word. He went straight back into the car, sat there for a while, lit a cigarette, and then looked down at his phone for a while.
After a few minutes, drive back.
Xin Gan entered the airport, first went to get her ticket, then went through the security check. While sitting in the waiting hall waiting, she felt a bit unreal to some extent. Cheng Jiu did nothing and didn't stop her from going back.
After she got back, it was still a problem how she would tell her family.
As for Cheng Jiu, she was destined not to be able to give a satisfactory answer.
Forget it. At this point, there's no way back.
Cheng Jiu calculated Xin Gan's boarding time. Time passed minute by minute. He smoked a few cigarettes but didn't rush to leave. When it was completely dark, he was still in the parking lot outside the airport, stubbornly waiting for someone.
Xin Gan boarded the plane and didn't stay. He really left.
Even if Cheng Jiu was determined to keep her, he wouldn't speak up easily. A man of his personality wouldn't bow to her, wouldn't beg her without any bottom line. If she wanted to leave, let her go. He wouldn't stop her.
But I always feel unhappy in my heart. This kind of feeling has never happened before.
Cheng Jiu thought he had never suffered a defeat with a woman before, but this time, he was at a loss with Xin Gan. Besides, his backbone was not women. Besides the matter of emotions, he had very important things to do. The responsibilities on his shoulders were destined to be beyond his freedom.
...
Jiang Yang had inquired about everything and quietly told Jiang Tang the information he had gathered.
Previously, an explosion occurred at a station in a small town. Miss Xin was also at the station at that time. She saved a little boy who was a local. The child's relatives died in that explosion. Miss Xin took the child back to the inn to take care of him for a few days. Later, it seemed that Xiao Shi and Jiu Ge found the child's family and they sent the child home together.
"Explosion?"
Jiang Yang said, "Well, it was that explosion a while ago."
Jiang Tang asked again, "Then did something happen to them on the way?"
Jiang Yang: "Yes, Xiao Shiyi was reluctant to talk at first, but later he did. On their way back, they were attacked by Yu Tou's men and even shot, but they weren't injured. It was a close call."
Jiang Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't the fish head get caught? How dare his men still show up?"
So recently, the pursuit of that group of people has been intensified. For now, there's no news.
Jiang Tang nodded. "Alright, thank you for your hard work. I understand."
It was so late. Jiang Tang looked at his watch again and said, "Is Cheng Jiu still in the team today?"
I saw Brother Jiu drive out in the afternoon. Jiang Yang hesitated for a few seconds. "I think he must have gone to the inn to look for that Miss Xin."
Jiang Tang sneered and involuntarily clenched her hand.
Jiang Yang understood her feelings. After comforting her a few words, he returned to the dormitory.
It was so late and everyone was resting in bed. Who was on the upper bunk of Xiao Shi? The noise Jiang Yang made when he returned to the dormitory woke Xiao Shi up. He muttered something and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go? You came back so late?"
I just ran five kilometers to the training ground.
"Wow, wow, really tough. I can't compete with you anymore. I'm going to sleep first." Xiao Shi turned over and continued to fall asleep.
By the moonlight streaming in through the window, Jiang Yang stared at Xiao Shi's sleeping figure for a while, then leaned over and patted his back, saying, "Are you very familiar with that Miss Xin?"
Xiao Shi, half asleep and half awake, replied, "Not bad. What are you doing?"
"Do you think she and Brother Jiu are a good match?" "
"Of course, she's the fiancee of my ninth brother..."
Jiang Yang said "Oh" and was about to ask, but Xiao Shi had already hummed impatiently and fell into a deep sleep, hugging the quilt.
Jiang Yang couldn't get what he wanted. Feeling a bit reluctant, he could only lie in bed and force himself to sleep.
...
Cheng Jiu couldn't sleep all night. After returning to the team, he took a cold shower and lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
Just before dawn, he called He Chuan. He Chuan was woken up and was about to lose his temper when he heard Cheng Jiu's voice. He immediately calmed down and asked him, "Why are you still calling me so late?"
Cheng Jiu said indifferently, "It's almost dawn."
"Dawn?" Big brother, I just fell asleep. I worked overtime until three or four o 'clock last night. When I finally got home and fell asleep, I was woken up by your call. What are you doing? "!"
Cheng Jiu stood by the window smoking, looking at the white belly just rising in the sky and said, "Help me find out exactly what the past is between Xin Gan and He Cheng."
When this matter was brought up, He Chuan fell silent, turned over, and said with a hint of difficulty, "How can I find out about this?" Either only the person involved knows that He Cheng won't explain to me. Then I can't go and ask Xin Gan, can I?
Cheng Jiu remained silent and smoked in silence.
He Chuan was a little intimidated and said, "I think nothing happened between them. I told you last time that Xin Gan hasn't been in a relationship abroad for the past few years. If she had anything to do with He Chengzhen, there would surely have been some trouble, but I haven't heard any news at all."
Cheng Jiu also understood, but what he cared about was Xin Gan. He felt that the reason she gave for breaking off the marriage was too far-fetched and he didn't fully believe it. So he wanted to make things clear. Of course, if he asked Xin Gan, she would never say anything.
This woman seems gentle and easy to get along with, but she is more petty and evasive than anyone else.
It wasn't long before he could tell Jiang Tang's feelings for him and asked him straightforwardly about their relationship.
Cheng Jiu remained silent all along. Suddenly, He Chuan realized something and his mind gradually cleared. Not quite sure, he asked, "Come on, you? You're not, are you?" Could it be that you really care?
Cheng Jiu didn't deny it, although he didn't admit it either. Even though He Chuan was a friend, when it came to the matter of feelings, he couldn't explain it clearly to He Chuan.
He Chuan: "Cheng Jiu, when you asked me to help you find out about Xin Gan before, I felt something was off. I remember your attitude when you first learned about this was completely different from now. What do you think?"
Cheng Jiu finished smoking a cigarette, let out a breath and said, "Would you like to ask?"
"Sure, definitely. It concerns my brother's happiness. I don't even care about my own younger brother anymore."
Thank you very much. Cheng Jiu thought of Xin Gan's flight back last night and said, "Xin Gan went back to Yongcheng last night. If possible, please keep an eye on her condition."
He Chuan was surprised and said, "Xin Gan is back?" Didn't I stay well at your place? Why are you back so soon?
She wants to break off the marriage with me.
"..." He Chuan didn't expect it to be because of this either. He scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment. "Then what do you mean?"
He still remembered that Cheng Jiu had also had the idea of breaking off the marriage at that time, but after being taught a lesson by the old man Cheng, he became obedient and never mentioned it again.
It never occurred to me that there was always a higher one after another. Xin Gan also had this idea.
Cheng Jiu frowned: "Impossible."
