My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One

Xuan Cheng looked silent in thought as he was in the same room with Li Xuan, who was currently busy entering some of the data he had just received from Qiao Xin. Seeing that who silently made his best friend Li Xuan chuckle too, how could he not? Li Xuan would not normally be like that. Usually, he is a man who will always think the most rational ever.

"Why have you been so gloomy lately, has something been bothering you, Cheng?" Li Xuan asked in the end. Xuan Cheng took a deep breath, and then he shook his head.

Xuan Cheng seems to be still thinking, what should he do so that Qiao Xin doesn't keep avoiding him. Because, after all, this was something he had to do, for some reason, Xuan Cheng always felt unwilling for Qiao Xin to stay away from him. He had always wanted to interact with Qiao Xin so well and not be shunned in this way.

"Miss Liu now definitely keeps her distance from you, right? And now you're getting restless about it?" guessed Li Xuan. Xuan Cheng immediately raised an eyebrow, and he didn't expect his best friend to know what was on his mind right now. Li Xuan immediately broke into a broad smile, and then he raised his brows in real terms. "You forgot, I'm a love expert, a man who loves women. So for my kind and innocent friend like you who has never felt love, what's in your head even I know it all. Alright, now tell me what you want, I'll help you."

"You speak as if I want to chase after Miss Liu, when it's not really like that," lied Xuan Cheng. He still did not admit that he was now feeling restless and restless.

"Oh yeah, you really don't feel curious, annoyed, and wonder why Miss Liu is avoiding you now? It seems from what I can see from my study, yours should be on the other side right? In a different division than me, but almost during working hours, all you do is go in and out of the division, otherwise just sit around Miss Liu and help out with her work. I don't understand this Mr Xuan's mind at all, it seems he wants to be my subordinate, is that true?"

"Tsk!"

"Listen to me, Cheng. You know what, the rumors of the three of us even got here. Weijing Group is also part of the Han Corporation. The female employees are so crazy about us, I myself don't know and can't do anything about it. The incident that Miss Liu had in the bathroom I think it was their fault, they tried to hurt Miss Liu because you clung to her too much. So, now it's only natural that Miss Liu stays away from you. Not because he hates you. But because he wanted to protect himself, from the female employee who had hurt him. Isn't as a new employee focused on working rather than busy doing things that shouldn't be what he's doing now? So you should know the situation, Cheng. Besides, instead of you continuing to contemplate with that ugly look on your face, wouldn't you better do something?"

"What?" asked Xuan Cheng quickly. Li Xuan immediately burst out laughing at Xuan Cheng's expression. Xuan Cheng's body language was undeniable when he was attracted to Qiao Xin.

"You really have fallen in love with her," Li Xuan said.

"I just want to be friends with her," said Xuan Cheng, who was still stubborn with his stance.

"Whatever that is. Did you see the phone was broken? Yesterday when I couldn't contact her, earlier when I asked why she couldn't be reached, she said that her cellphone was broken and had not been repaired. Why don't you try buying her a new phone so she can touch you?" Li Xuan now puffed out his chest, looking at Xuan Cheng with that solemn expression on his face. "Listen to me, women love surprises and gifts. Moreover, that gift is something she needs, I'm sure once she accepts it, she will never dare to refuse you. So, what are you waiting for, let's quickly do our best now,"

Xuan Cheng immediately nodded, then he immediately got up from his seat, left Lu Xuan's room without saying anything. Li Xuan, who saw that, couldn't help but smile as he shook his head. It was the first time that Xuan Cheng had a beard with a woman who thought he was an ordinary employee. Not a lady from a wealthy family.

On the other hand, Xuan Cheng bought a cell phone. Even now, it's time to leave work. Xuan Cheng deliberately waited for Qiao Xin in front of the office. He purposely didn't approach Qiao Xin because he didn't want to stir up rumors about the female employees. Now he had to be more careful and restrain himself so that Qiao Xin wouldn't run away from him.

"Qiao Xin," Xuan Cheng called out, as Qiao Xin and Mei seemed to be holding hands on their way out.

The two women looked at each other. How could they not? It seemed that both of them were pretty surprised by Xuan Cheng, who appeared to be waiting for Qiao Xin. Then Qiao Xin approached and looked at Xuan Cheng with a curious expression on her face.

"What is it?" Qiao Xin then asked.

Xuan Cheng smiled, apparently what Li Xuan said was true. If Qiao Xin stayed away from him, she probably didn't want to deal with employees who wanted to hurt her. Now that the company was quiet, Qiao Xin seemed normal, not too shy about him at all.

"I gave you a gift, I hope you like it." Xuan Cheng immediately handed Qiao Xin a small bag.

Qiao Xin was somewhat confused, and she seemed still reluctant to accept. Then she looked at Xuan Cheng with a curious look on his face.

"What's this? I'm not having a birthday, why are you giving me a present?" Qiao Xin asked. Yes, Qiao Xin was the woman who was most reluctant to be given gifts if she didn't feel she had done something suitable or if she wasn't on her birthday, and even then, only people who were considered close to her were allowed to give her gifts.

"I know that your cell phone is broken because some bad person broke it. So, I'm giving you a new cell phone. I hope you will accept it," Xuan Cheng said in the end.

Qiao Xin could see in the bag that the phone Xuan Cheng had given her was the latest one at a price that wasn't cheap. Then Qiao Xin gave back to Xuan Cheng the bag.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng. Not that I meant to refuse your gift or offend you, not at all. I just feel that if this is all unnecessary, I'm the type of person who isn't used to accepting gifts from people in any way, and is used to getting things out of my own hard work. After all this is an expensive item, how could I accept it."

"But-"

"Even yesterday, someone sent me some expensive gifts. I told him to burn it," said Qiao Xin, remembering the incident when Xiao Long sent her a gift as an apology. For some reason, she always smiled when she remembered that.

Xuan Cheng also seemed to understand, especially now that he saw Qiao Xin smiling and kind to him. It was more than enough, and he would not force Qiao Xin again.

"Seeing you back doesn't put any distance between our friendship, that's enough. I'm really annoyed if you keep avoiding me while at the office. It's as if I've made a big mistake," Xuan Cheng said later.

Hearing this, Qiao Xin scratched the back of her neck that didn't itch, and she also felt guilty for being selfish. She cares about her safety, doesn't care if someone else will be offended by her behavior.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng. I really don't know if you'd be offended by that. I only-"

"The female employees have done bad things to you right?" guessed Xuan Cheng. Qiao Xin was silent, and it seemed that even without her answering, Xuan Cheng knew what the answer would be. "You don't have to worry about them, they'll just ignore it themselves. Trust me about that."

"Okay, I'll believe it. Thank you for everything, Brother Cheng. And thank you for being kind to me so far."

Xuan Cheng nodded again, until he finally frowned, looking at the bracelet wrapped around Qiao Xin's wrist when the woman raised her hand and the hem of her shirt sleeve lifted.

"That bracelet…."

"Oh, this bracelet?" Qiao Xin said while holding the bracelet that she couldn't take off at all. Qiao Xin didn't even understand, and even until this moment, the bracelet still couldn't be removed at all. "I got this bracelet from someone, just for fun, I can't even take it off. How unlucky," Qiao Xin grumbled later.

"I know quite a bit about ancient things, and you are the lucky one to have such a high-value bracelet. Seeing that the bracelet can't be separated from your hand, it looks like the other bracelet has already been worn."

"What?" Qiao Xin was shocked. She couldn't possibly say that Xiao Long was wearing the other bracelet. Because Qiao Xin was sure that Xuan Cheng would know, even without her saying it, Xuan Cheng would have seen the bracelet on Xiao Long when the two met.

"Yes, that bracelet is a bracelet from the previous dynasty, made by a master with very high magic power. There were only two bracelets from the previous kingdom that were made, only a pair. So the way this bracelet works is, when two people are matched, when this bracelet is worn, the bracelet will bind strongly to the wearer, which means that if the bracelet is not detached in any way. Even reportedly, we can feel if other people who wear this bracelet, our soul mate is in danger, or are happy and sad with the bracelet. And the bracelet can also come off on its own when one of the wearers betrays or one of them feels betrayed,"

"How can be like that?" asked Qiao Xin, who seemed confused. Xuan Cheng seemed to smile, and then he patted Qiao Xin's shoulder. Honestly, he was very curious as to who was wearing the other bracelet. But he would not force Qiao Xin to answer.

"Is that damn ex-boyfriend of yours wearing your other bracelet, Qiao Xin?" asked Mei suddenly. Qiao Xin immediately gasped, she didn't answer, but she seemed to be thinking while holding the bracelet.

Even Xiao Long didn't tell her about this. Was the reason why Xiao Long was furious when she wore this bracelet casually, especially since this bracelet couldn't be removed by the two of them, making Xiao Long worried about the story behind it? That's why Xiao Long said such strange things back then.

Qiao Xin gave a faint smile, and then she looked at Xuan Cheng with her warm gaze.

"I'm not a person who believes in myths, Brother Cheng," she replied firmly.
