Chapter 1045: You Shouldn’t Avoid Them
Xia Yuan nodded slightly, "At that time, I had no other choice. If I were forced to marry someone I have no feelings for, I just..."
Having lived according to her father’s wishes since she was a child, she didn’t want her happiness in the latter half of her life to be controlled by someone else.
"You shouldn’t hide from them. Even if you don’t like it, they are your parents. They can’t force you if you’re unwilling. Talking things out can always lead to a solution."
He wasn’t sure why he was saying these things to her, but he felt her approach was a bit too extreme.
"I, I know. At that time, seeing that person about to become my fiancé, I panicked, and in a rush, I just..."
This silly girl, are her decisions all made impulsively?
Clearing his throat, he said, "I saw in the news today that your parents are offering three million to find you."
Upon hearing his words, Xia Yuan’s mind immediately sounded the alarm. She looked at him, extremely nervous, "Are you planning to kick me out?"
Xu Kun was taken aback. Why did she suddenly have this thought?
"I won’t kick you out. I hope you can think it through and go home on your own."
"Go home and marry someone I don’t love?" Xia Yuan retorted, suddenly letting out a cold laugh, "If I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."
Xu Kun frowned, "Hmm?"
Xia Yuan stood up, looking down at him with a faint smile on her face, "Thank you for taking me in and giving me a place to stay. If not for you, I really wouldn’t know where to go. Do you know why I say I would make the same choice again? Because if I didn’t run away, I wouldn’t have met you..."
With that, she ran back to her room.
Xu Kun sat dazed on the sofa, her words echoing in his mind.
Because if I didn’t run away, I wouldn’t have met you...
What does this mean?
His mind was in chaos, and he didn’t have the heart to deal with work anymore, so he headed back to his room.
The next morning, Xia Yuan still took Xu Kun’s car to work, but the atmosphere between the two was noticeably off.
On the top floor, Qin Yin noticed it too.
Throughout the morning, Qin Yin noticed several times that Xia Yuan was sitting in her seat daydreaming, calling her several times but getting no response.
During lunch, Qin Yin sat facing Xia Yuan, scrutinizing her several times before she couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well or is the food not to your liking?"
Snapping back from her thoughts, she gave an apologetic smile, "No, just not feeling hungry, don’t feel like eating."
Seeing her mood was off, she didn’t ask further. After finishing lunch, she helped Xu Kun get a meal and returned to the top floor together.
Standing at the door of the vice president’s office, she took several deep breaths before reaching out and knocking on the door.
"Come in."
Xu Kun’s voice came from inside, and only then did she push the door open and went in, walking to the desk and placing the meal on it, "Eat first before you start working!"
"I know, you can leave now!"
Xia Yuan stood there motionless.
Xu Kun looked up at her, "Anything else?"
"No." She quickly shook her head, left the office, returned to her workstation, picked up her phone, and opened WeChat.
Then clicked on the top one...
"Yuanyuan, how long are you going to hold a grudge against Uncle? We’ve known each other for so many years. If you don’t contact your family, at least let me know where you are! It’s been more than half a month. You didn’t have much cash when you left; how are you managing?"
