Beloved Enemy

Chapter 88

WangJin arranged for the negotiation meeting to be two days later. GuQingPei use this time to return to his family home to see his parents and let them know of his plans, stressing that the company needed to assign him to Singapore.

His parents were very surprised, but their response was calm. After the two elderly had retired, their son had gradually grown up. Furthermore, he had great capabilities. All the big and small things at home, in fact, were taken care of by him. They felt that their son leaving abroad to further develop his career is an incredible thing, so they didn't think too much into it.

Mother Gu said, "Go, it's a good thing. I heard that Singapore is a particularly good place. Everyone is so polite and there is no chewing gum on the ground. After you settle down, we can both travel there to see you."

"That's right, I also want to go there and see. If you can't come back, we can go there right? It's not that far from China."

GuQingPei's heart started to feel pained. Fortunately, his parents didn't know that he had suffered an uttered failure in a (romantic) relationship and is helplessly forced to leave the country. In the face of such simple-minded and tolerant parents, he felt even more useless.

GuQingPei reluctantly smiled, "I might be very busy over there so I won't be able to come home as frequently as I was in Beijing. If I can't come back during the New Years, you guys can go to me in Singapore okay?"

"That's fine. We've never spent the New Years abroad."

"After I leave, you must take care of yourselves. The phone is still the same, call anytime."

Father Gu smiled, "You don't have to worry about us. We are very healthy. Your mother can still shop for groceries alone and I also exercise all the time. Didn't you say that you'll return after two years? It's for work, that's business matters. Don't worry...just go. Just call home more often is good enough."

GuQingPei's eyes ached a little. He smiled and nodded, "I will definitely call often. You can go there frequently too. Singapore is very close, only takes two or three hours to fly there."

"Ah, that fast? We'll definitely go, definitely go." Mother Gu said with a chuckle and then suddenly changed the topic and said softly, "Then ...what about... YuanYang, what to do?"

GuQingPei was instantly startled.

The two elderly glanced at each other. Father Gu's eye expression had a hint of warning. Mother Gu glared at him then turned and looked at GuQingPei, waiting for his answer.

GuQingPei sighed, "Dad, mom, I've already broken up with him. We're not right for each other. You can see how big our age gap is, can we really last? After I leave, if he comes to find you, just ignore him. We are not possible."

Mother Gu sighed, "You young people's issues, I also can't control. But I feel that this child is quite good."

Father Gu tugged at her, hinting at her to not speak.

GuQingPei shook his head. "We are really not right for each, don't mention him."

Mother Gu opened her mouth, but in the end, she managed to hold back, "Fine, what you've already decided, I'm not going to say more. When are you leaving?"

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow to handle some issues. Then, I'll be leaving."

Mother Gu caressed his hair, "When you get there, take good care of yourself. Are you going to be able to understand what they say?"

GuQingPei smiled lightly, "They also speak Chinese."

"That's good. Anyways, take care of yourself."
