37: Chapter 37 Song Yuan, can you consider being with me?

Lin Xueyao sighed; she believed it.

"Qiao Xi, then I'll listen to you. I'm going to sleep."

"Sleep, sleep. Get some rest early."

Qiao Xi helped her close the door, returned to her own room, and made a call to Song Yuan.

Song Yuan was drowsily drifting off to sleep when his phone rang. He thought it was Gu Shiyu calling and quickly answered, "Shiyu, what's wrong?"

The other side was silent for a few seconds, then a low voice said, "Brother Song Yuan, it's Qiao Xi!"

Song Yuan was startled, his mind clearing. He sat up and looked at his phone screen; it was an unfamiliar number he hadn't saved.

"Calling so late, is something wrong?"

Qiao Xi tentatively asked, "Brother Song Yuan, is everything ready for your wedding tomorrow?"

Song Yuan didn't think much of it and replied directly, "It's ready."

Qiao Xi's heart sank. All ready? Then the bride...

"Brother Song Yuan, Yao Yao's temper is just a bit bad; she's been spoiled since she was little. For your wedding tomorrow, if the bride can't be found, actually... I can help you handle the situation."

Song Yuan's mind was full of question marks. What was this woman talking nonsense about?

"What do you need to help me handle? Help with guiding guests?"

She was quite nice.

Song Yuan was about to say that there was no need to trouble her, as he had already arranged for two cousins to help, when he heard Qiao Xi's sweet voice on the other end of the phone say,

"Brother Song Yuan, actually, I... like you a little. It's just because you were with Yao Yao that I kept this liking hidden in my heart for three years without saying anything.

Now, since you and Yao Yao have broken up anyway, and there's no chance of getting back together, can you consider me?"

Song Yuan suddenly sat up from the bed, now completely awake.

"Miss Qiao, you like me?"

Qiao Xi softly 'hmm'ed, as if she had mustered all her courage to lay it all out for him,

"Brother Song Yuan, actually, Yao Yao has hidden many things from you. The first year you were together, for your birthday, the watch she gave you was picked by me, and I paid for it. Yao Yao never paid me back, so it's essentially from me to you.

And the tie you received for your birthday in your second year together, I bought that too.

This year for your birthday, the birthday cake Yao Yao sent you wasn't made by her at all. I ruined six cakes before I finally made one successfully..."

Song Yuan's mind went blank...

He knew Lin Xueyao had a good best friend, and their relationship was so close that they even brought Qiao Xi to every date.

He never imagined that girls' thought processes could be so peculiar as to like their best friend's man.

"Qiao Xi, thank you for your affection, but... I'm already married. I invite you to my wedding tomorrow."

Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds on the other end, her voice choked,

"You're already married? Who is the bride?"

Song Yuan didn't tell her; even if he did, she wouldn't know.

"You'll know when you come tomorrow."

After that call, another person suffered from insomnia.

Qiao Xi sat on the head of the bed, contemplating for a long time. Could it be that Lin Xueyao didn't listen to her and contacted Song Yuan herself, and they made up again?

No, she had to go sound her out.

Qiao Xi got out of bed with her phone and knocked on Lin Xueyao's door,

"Yao Yao, I can't sleep either. Can I sleep with you?"

Lin Xueyao was in bed, looking at the photos she had saved on her phone from when she was with Song Yuan, memories flashing through her mind like a slideshow.

She wasn't without feelings for Song Yuan; he was her first man, and also the man who treated her best. To say she had no feelings was false.

However, Song Yuan's family background was a bit lacking and didn't meet her standards for marriage.

Lin Xueyao wiped away a tear and opened the door. Qiao Xi came in and immediately burrowed into her covers.

"Yao Yao, did you cry?"

Lin Xueyao shook her head,

"No, I just remembered a lot of old things. I actually still love Song Yuan. If he comes to find me tomorrow, I'll forgive him. I don't want to make things difficult for him anymore."

At this moment, all Lin Xueyao could think of was Song Yuan's good qualities, hundreds and thousands of times better than Xiao Nianchen.

In contrast, Xiao Nianchen only wanted to sleep with her.

And Song Yuan was a responsible person, a man in the true sense of the word.

When Qiao Xi heard Lin Xueyao's words, her heart dropped back into her chest. It was fine that they hadn't reconciled.

Soon, a big question appeared in her mind: Song Yuan and Lin Xueyao hadn't reconciled, so who did he marry?

It was impossible to start a new relationship in such a short time.

And how Song Yuan treated Lin Xueyao, she had seen over the years. Song Yuan couldn't possibly cheat.

Could it be that he really rented someone?

If that were the case, she wasn't completely without a chance.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at Lin Xueyao,

"You, have some ambition! Remember my words, you absolutely cannot be the first to back down, and when Song Yuan comes to beg you to get back together, don't agree to him easily.

Men, you have to get a hold of them before marriage, otherwise, in a marriage, you'll be the weaker party for life."

Lin Xueyao's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red,

"But, I really do love him a little. After being apart for so long, I've also come to understand what I truly want. Although Xiao Nianchen is rich, he doesn't spend money on me, so to me, he's no different from a pauper.

Although Song Yuan isn't a rich second generation, he works diligently, gives all his salary to me, and is willing to buy me luxury goods. Most importantly, he loves me."

Qiao Xi said, sounding exasperated, "No, no, no! Don't be a love-struck fool! You can't easily forgive a man. Have you forgotten how Song Yuan treated you? He sold your house! What does that mean?

It means he didn't put you in his eyes at all.

Baby, we girls need to love ourselves and not be easily manipulated!"

Lin Xueyao recovered for a while and then said, "You're right. I'll wait a bit longer. Song Yuan will definitely come to beg for my forgiveness. Maybe he'll come tomorrow morning. Then I'll make him bring 999 red roses, kneel down to propose, and also give me a diamond ring of one carat or more, and buy me a new car."

Qiao Xi pulled the covers up for her,

"That's right! Always remember not to feel sorry for a man; it will make you seem cheap!"

Lin Xueyao felt much better after Qiao Xi's encouragement and lay down and fell asleep.

On the other side, Song Yuan sneezed several times.

He never would have thought that the watch he had carefully worn for three years, afraid of scratching it, getting it wet, or dirty, was given to him by his girlfriend's best friend.

And that tie, he only wore it on important occasions.

He was very touched when he received that birthday cake, and at the time, he also felt bad for how much time Lin Xueyao had spent personally making a birthday cake for him.

It turned out that all of this...

Was from another woman's hand.

This shocked him immensely.

He suddenly thought of Lin Xueyao. That woman wouldn't still be waiting for him to pick her up with the wedding car for the wedding, would she?
