Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 216

Zhu Sixuan never imagined that this relationship would last for two years.

At first, it was indeed lust at first sight, and it was also for the inspiration of comics, but later, they really did become boyfriend and girlfriend.

At the company, they maintained their distance, occasionally going out on dates after get off work, but most of the time they stayed in bed together.

Ye Zeming treats her very well. He remembers her preferences and always brings her gifts when he comes back from business trips. He also gives her a lot of guidance and advice when she has troubles at work.

Being with him has really helped Zhu Sixuan grow a lot.

But the gap between them will always exist and will never disappear.

Ye Zeming is the third young master of the Ye family in Beijing. He is temporarily in charge of the Hong Kong branch of the company, but he will eventually return to Beijing. As for his marriage, it may not be up to him to decide.

That time, Zhu Sixuan accidentally stumbled upon him arguing with his mother at the office door, and the sound of their voices was grating.

“I don’t object to you dating. At your age, it’s okay to have several girlfriends. But marriage is not an option. You must marry a girl who can help your career.”

“You’re not in your early twenties anymore. You should have had enough fun by now. Your father’s health isn’t good, and his sons have been eyeing the company for a long time. If you don’t go back to the Ye family, they’ll take it all away. Then you won’t have a place to stand!”

“Listen to your mother, break up with the women around you as soon as possible. There are so many talented and beautiful girls with excellent family backgrounds in Beijing that you can choose from. They can also help you gain a foothold in the company. Don’t do anything stupid.”

Ye Zeming said helplessly, "Mom, do you really want me to marry someone I don't like?"

Mother Ye scolded, "Can liking something put food on the table? You're thirty years old and still so naive? Power and status are the foundation of life. Are you going to just stand by and watch the Ye family fall into the hands of others?"

Ye Zeming was exhausted and didn't know how to communicate with her.

He didn't want to get involved in the Ye family's internal strife at all. He had no ambition for it; he just wanted to run his company well, find someone he liked, and live an ordinary life.

"I went through so much trouble to give birth to you and raise you, and I put so much effort into nurturing you, all so that you would bring me honor and stop me from being looked down upon. If you can't even do that, then what's the point of my life?"

Ye Zeming had experienced his mother's extreme words before. She had always been like this, with a strong desire for control. From a young age, whatever extracurricular activities he took, whatever friends he made, and even what major he chose in college, all had to be done according to her wishes. If he tried to resist, she would use this kind of rhetoric to force him to compromise.

Ye's mother had suffered emotional trauma in the past and was extremely prone to making decisions. Once provoked, her mental state would become unstable, and she was truly capable of threatening suicide.

Zhu Sixuan left the office door absentmindedly.

During that time, she could sense that Ye Zeming was caught in the middle, feeling both pain and distress.

Continuing to pursue a relationship that is destined to have no future is futile and a waste of each other's time.

So they had an open and honest talk, but reality prevailed, and they decided to break up.

Not long after, Ye Zeming returned to Beijing, and they never contacted each other again.

Later, Zhu Sixuan changed jobs and switched to another company, but life went on as usual.

She appears carefree and nonchalant, as if nothing is wrong, but only she knows how difficult it is to move on from a relationship.

Countless nights she suffered from insomnia or woke up startled from dreams. Two years together, all those memories were like countless intertwined roots, deeply embedded in her being.

She wanted to dig out everything that belonged to Ye Zeming from the bottom of her heart, bit by bit.

If only the human brain had a program that could delete all traces of him with a single click, then we wouldn't have to feel this sad now.

Three months after their breakup, Zhu Sixuan saw his wedding announcement on an LED advertising screen in a bustling area of ​​Beijing.

I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

She remained quite calm.

They each started new lives, and time will heal their wounds.

Later, Zhu Sixuan was pressured by her family to go on blind dates.

She tried to accept new relationships, but neither lasted long.

Incompatible personalities and conflicting lifestyles led to a breakup.

Later, a friend introduced her to a pediatrician. After getting to know each other, they found that their personalities and values ​​were quite compatible, and they naturally started dating.

She's past the age of seeking thrills in love; for her, a peaceful and happy relationship is enough.

But there are always unexpected events that break the peace.

Her grandmother, who had doted on her since she was a child, was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. The doctor said that even with conservative treatment, she only had three months left.

When the devastating news struck, Zhu Sixuan nearly collapsed to the ground, her mind blank. She couldn't believe it; how could a perfectly healthy person suddenly have terminal cancer?

She cried for a long time, her eyes swollen like walnuts, until she had cried all her tears.

What is a given fact can only be accepted.

She put aside all her work and stayed in the ward all day.

Grandma was more optimistic than her and comforted her, "Darling, don't be sad. I'm getting old, it's time for me to go see your grandpa. I'll be at ease knowing you're doing well."

"It's a pity we won't be able to see our little girl get married."

Zhu Sixuan couldn't bear to let her grandmother leave with regrets, so after careful consideration, she talked to her boyfriend and asked him if they wanted to get married.

They were both of marriageable age, shared similar views on marriage and love, and got married as soon as they hit it off.

After submitting the materials, you need to wait fifteen days for notarization.

On the day she went to the marriage registration office, Zhu Sixuan received a phone call from an unknown number.

As soon as the call connected, a familiar voice came through the phone, "Sixuan, can we meet? I have something to tell you, I..."

Before the word "divorce" could be finished, a staff member reminded them, "Ms. Zhu, Mr. Xiao, this is your marriage certificate. We wish you a long and happy marriage."
