Chapter 1690: Time to Get Down to Business

After listening to Xu Ke talk about so many things from the past, Xiao Keyi was very happy.

After all, which girlfriend wouldn’t want to know more about her boyfriend’s past?

If she doesn’t want to know, it means she doesn’t really love him that much, or there’s some irreconcilable conflict between the two.

Anyway, two people together should be honest with each other, regardless of what happened in the past, no matter what you’ve done before, as long as you explain sincerely to each other, you will always get the other’s understanding and support.

After all, who hasn’t been young and reckless? After all, who hasn’t indulged wantonly in their youth?

Everyone has different past experiences, and everyone has received different education in the past.

It is precisely because of all these differences that everyone is an independent individual. And it is for these reasons that this world is so wonderful, and this world is so complex.

Xiao Keyi is so persistent in wanting to know things about Xu Ke because she wants to better understand her boyfriend.

Even though they’ve been together for a long time, honestly speaking, she’s almost completely unaware of her boyfriend’s past.

It’s only recently, through Wang Cuixia’s mouth, that she learned some things about Xu Ke’s childhood.

But these things are just from his childhood; after he grew up a bit, Wang Cuixia hardly knew anything.

Xiao Keyi herself grew up smoothly within the family, hardly ever going outside.

She even attended a private elite school during her studies.

Their school hardly had any boys; it was a purely girls’ school.

When she went to college, although there were many boys around Xiao Keyi, she had little connection with them.

After all, they were not from the same world; it was impossible for them to come together.

But since she met Xu Ke, she devoted her whole mind and heart to him.

One could say that Xu Ke’s every word, every action, every smile, and every frown moved Xiao Keyi’s heart.

Sometimes Xiao Keyi even questioned if she was obsessed, but after the test of time, she found that this was precisely her genuine affection for Xu Ke.

There was a time when Xu Ke seemed very indifferent to her smile, and Keyi even doubted whether they were truly incompatible, whether Xu Ke truly didn’t like her.

But afterwards, she learned that Xu Ke was dealing with many things during that time, was very unsatisfied for a while, and that’s why he behaved so dispiritedly.

After they discussed everything, they understood each other’s intentions, and from that moment, Xiao Keyi decided she wanted to spend her life with Xu Ke.

Time always flies by, and in the blink of an eye, they were back in Beijing.

And Xu Ke had transformed into the president of the Xu Group.

But since becoming president, Xu Ke had much less time.

This situation made Xiao Keyi very unaccustomed, leading her to start having nightmares for a long time.

Occasionally when Xu Ke called, she could be happy for half the day, but later she no longer received such calls.

Xiao Keyi had cried to Wang Cuixia more than once, but as Xu Ke’s mother, Wang Cuixia was also helpless.

After all, the company was in this state now, and she couldn’t really spare any time.

Moreover, Wang Cuixia was almost at the company every day, often returning home after midnight.

Xiao Keyi wanted to share some of Xu Ke’s burdens, but she knew her efforts couldn’t really help with what Xu Ke was doing now.

At the company, she could be of almost no help, all she could do was stay at home and wait obediently for Xu Ke.

Knowing the gap between one person and another, it was this difference that gradually became apparent.

Xiao Keyi didn’t want to be a burden to Xu Ke; she didn’t want Xu Ke to leave her behind too far.

During this time, she had been contemplating whether she should find something to do or take some time to divert her attention.

Since Xu Ke was striving hard for their future life, she wondered if she should do something as well.

Living in families like theirs, they never really worried about money, but precisely because of this, they had to work even harder.

Sometimes working hard was not for money, but to maintain a better state of being.

To always maintain abundant vitality, to always possess a youthfulness of heart and mind.

As they say, learning is endless, and Xiao Keyi believed there was also no end to working hard.

Xiao Keyi had a thought for a long time: to start her own company and see how far it could grow.

But because of many things and the limitations of her status, she never had the chance to fulfill this idea.

However, she felt the time was now right; she not only had the ability but also the time.

Back when she was home, every time she brought up this request, her father would always have various reasons to refuse.

She knew her father was worried about her, after all, being a girl, if she started a company, it would inevitably involve more exposure.

Since childhood, Xiao Hua had doted on Xiao Keyi immensely, treating her almost like a jewel.

He definitely wouldn’t allow his daughter to suffer any grievance or to take any disadvantage.

It was precisely because of Xiao Hua’s affection that Xiao Keyi didn’t dare to face the outside world alone until she was 20.

It was only after she gradually went to college that she slowly realized that the society was not as dark as she imagined.

Actually, there are many bright places in this world, and there are many places that make her happy.

As a child, she lived under her father’s protection, and it was only after she went to college that she slowly began to break away from her father.

After all, for Xiao Keyi, she didn’t want to be a caged canary; she wanted to be an eagle soaring in the sky.

Although she knew she might not become an eagle, she wanted to at least be a bird that flies freely in the sky.

Don’t be fooled by her seemingly always acting like a rich girl shopping and buying everything, doing nothing.

All of this was because the surrounding conditions restricted her; she couldn’t do these things.

But recently, through this time, Xiao Keyi had already begun to gradually figure it out.

She wanted to establish her own career and become a person who stands tall; she didn’t want to rely on Xu Ke for everything.

Xiao Keyi knew that a career was very important for women, only if they held a pivotal position at work would no one dare to ignore them, no one would dare to despise them.
