Yu Tianheng came out of the hospital and drove alone on the main road. The setting sun shone through the trees, illuminating his handsome face. It also set off the tinge of melancholy that flowed between his brows. Only when he was alone would he be able to release his feelings so brazenly.
He was used to being strong in front of others, so he rarely showed this kind of calm and melancholy expression, because he couldn't!
Even Jian Qianyu, who stayed by his pillow almost every night, would occasionally notice this. Every time, he would become flustered and exasperated, venting his anger on her out of embarrassment. Only by doing so would he be able to conceal himself better!
No matter what his past memories were, he was willing to retrieve them. As long as he didn't have to dream about them every night, it would be fine!
Yu Tianheng drove very slowly, and when he got home, it was already past six. Zhe and Xin were playing in their own rooms. He went to see the children in their bedroom before turning back to his own.
When he entered, Jane was sitting on the sofa on the balcony in a daze. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she slightly lifted her eyes and quietly watched him. Yu Tian Heng just glanced at her indifferently. He took off his jacket, threw it on the rack, and started taking off his shirt, shoes, and socks. He then took out his pajamas from the closet and walked into the bathroom.
The sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom, and Jane Qianyu could see his muscular and sexy figure moving about in the bathroom. This body had been caressed and infatuated with by so many women, even her was no exception! Slightly turning her head away, Jian Qianlin continued to stare at the last ray of sunlight outside. In her mind, she could faintly hear what Secretary Liu had said to her in the hospital this morning.
She was pregnant, pregnant with Yu Tian Heng's child. She was lucky enough to be pregnant with his child. How could she endure this?
When the sound of water in the bathroom stopped and Yu Tianheng came out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped around his body, Qian Ning turned her gaze back to him and asked calmly, "What do you plan to do?"
Yu Tian Heng stopped and stood in the bedroom looking at her. "What are you planning to do?"
"Child, the child in that woman's womb." Qian Ning raised her voice a little. There was an uncontrollable anger and disappointment in her tone. This was the first time she used such a reproachful tone to speak to him. She was too excited, and was completely unable to control her emotions. After all, Secretary Liu was pregnant with her husband's seed, so how could she not be excited?
What kind of person was Yu Tian Heng, how could he take her anger to heart? In any case, the more she treated him harshly, the more he felt that his dignity as a man was being challenged. He gritted his teeth and gave her a light glance, saying, "Jane Qian Ning, do you think you have the qualifications to express your dissatisfaction with this matter? Before we were married, I warned you not to expect me to be loyal to you, and even more so not to expect me to fall in love with you.
All of her energy was instantly sucked away by those simple words. That's right, he had indeed said those words, and she had also said that she would absolutely not care, but today … When things really developed, she was no longer as relaxed as she was before. What she cared about was actually what she really cared about in her heart!
She bit her lip and lightly sucked in a breath of air. "So, you're going to marry that woman?"
"So what if I want to marry her? Will you quit? Will you agree to divorce me? You would never do that, would you? " Yu Tian Heng coldly smiled as he walked in front of the wardrobe. He took out a dress with the tails of a swallow and looked at her while he put it on. He said, "Change clothes. Come with me to tonight's charity party."
He said this in a slightly commanding tone. However, Jian Qianyu was still sitting motionlessly on the sofa, her hands hugging her knees as she curled her legs. She turned her face away and lightly activated her lips as she spat out two words, "I'm not going."
Yu Tian Heng didn't expect her to reject him in such a manner. He originally thought she would be happy, grateful to him, and even temporarily forget about Secretary Liu due to her happiness. This rejection caused him to freeze on the spot for a moment. He turned his head to look at her, but then quickly turned around and spoke again, "Jian Qian Ning, don't be shameless and challenge my patience with your personality. You know my patience is never good."
"Thank you for giving me this face, but I still don't want to go. Sorry." Jane Qianlin sneered in her heart. Give her face? Let her be his companion? It was indeed rather flattering. What did he say this morning? As long as he hooked his fingers, there would be a lot of women fighting to be his companions, and it was obvious that he took her for one of them.
She didn't want to be the kind of woman who would just leave when she was called upon to leave. She wanted to give those women to take advantage of her luck!
In truth, she hadn't thought that Yu Tianheng would give her this opportunity. He had never liked bringing her to public places, let alone such a crowded party. If he brought her to the party, wouldn't that mean he was announcing his relationship with her to the outside world and admitting her identity as the second wife of the imperial family?
If today did not meet Secretary Liu, perhaps Jane Qian Ning will be happy, will be moved, and then with a sweet mood to attend the party with him. However, Secretary Liu's matter still existed. Even if he forgot, it would be useless!
Yu Tian Heng was flustered by her short sentence. He threw down his clothes, walked over, and bent over to pull her up from the sofa. With both hands, he grabbed her shoulders and angrily bellowed: "Jane Qian Ning! You want to go? Good! "I want you to go tonight!"
He was such a domineering person. If she didn't want to do something, he would force her to do it. If she could just tell him that she was sleepy, tired, and wanted to go to bed early. Or simply admitting that he was afraid of a place where the upper class would roam, he would simply let her rest at home and find a woman to fill in the numbers.
However, she didn't say that. She was purposely angering him! This damned woman! How dare she?!
"Immediately change your clothes, or else you won't be able to stay in the Yu Family for another day! Jian Qian Ning, I want to see who is stronger. " After saying that, Yu Tian Heng released her hands from her shoulders and turned to walk towards the bedroom door.
Just as he stepped out of the doorway, Jian Qian Ning's indifferent voice came from behind him, "I don't have any formal attire." Even though she sounded like she was refusing, he could hear that she had let go, and he was smiling.
"You wait for two minutes. The dress will be here shortly." Yu Tianheng had a smooth smile on his face as he once again lifted his foot and walked towards the door. A trace of doubt flashed through her heart. She didn't expect that he had already prepared her dress. It seemed that he had already planned to bring her to attend the meeting. Why did he suddenly become so good? This was indeed hard to understand.
Yu Tian Heng walked down to the first floor. Yu Qin, wearing a formal attire, walked up and asked with a smile: "Second Brother, are you looking good?"
"It's good, you want to attend the party?" Yu Tian Heng sized her up. She was pure white, and he said loyally that she was very tall. Her face was fair and sunny, and her skin was dark, but it was very black.
"Yes, but I'm not representing the court. I was invited." After Yu Qin finished laughing, Madam Yu, who was standing to one side, unhappily said, "I don't think it's shameful to be invited by such a sloppy man!"
"Mom, like I said, Lin Tiancheng only likes to play a little. He's nothing. The Lin Clan is at least ranked tenth on the Rich List of Bincheng!" Don't always look down on people. " Yuqin argued.
What Yu Tian Heng was most afraid of was hearing someone argue with him. He raised his foot and ran towards the door as if he was escaping.
As soon as Yu Tian Heng left, Mrs Zhang brought the gowns up. Jian Qian Ning took a look at them and saw that they were made of silk. Although the temperature was very high today, it would definitely be cold to wear them at night.
Zhang Ma saw her frown and smiled to comfort her, "Young madam, you don't have to be afraid of the cold. It is said that the party is held indoors. The Third Miss' gown is even more revealing than the Young Madam's." "Hmm …" If you're afraid of the cold, bring a coat with you and put it in the car. "
"Alright, I'll go and see if it fits." Jane took the dress into the locker room, took off her clothes and put on the Pu-Bai dress. The dress was a long purple one, and it was undeniable that it was fitting and very elegant.
The moment Qian Ning stepped out of the locker room, Mrs Zhang praised her with a smile, "So beautiful! Young Mistress's clothes fit well! Young Mistress's eyesight is very good! So vicious! To think she could make Young Mistress's height fit so well!"
She turned around and walked over to the dressing table. She took out her cosmetic box and began to sweep her eyebrows. At first, she was surprised that Yu Tian Heng was able to grasp her height so well. However, when she thought about it, since he had so many women, he naturally put in so much effort early in the morning, so it wasn't that surprising.
Jian Qianyu usually didn't put on makeup at all. She even bought a makeup box after entering the imperial household. She didn't know how to change a makeup that was too complicated, so she could only change it simply. And she herself didn't belong to that kind of seductive person, so it was appropriate for her to put on light makeup.
She used the shortest amount of time to fix her face, and after tidying up her curly hair with elastic elements, she put on the matching high heels and headed downstairs. As they walked, she reminded Zhang Tie, "Mrs Zhang, please let them eat more while you are eating with Zhe Zhe Zhe. Zhe Zhe can't get used to him anymore. And … At night, let them sleep on time. Yeah, and … "
Mrs Zhang suddenly cut her off with a laugh. "Rest assured, young madam. With me here, there won't be any problems with the children."
"That's good. Thank you, Mrs Zhang." After she said that, she stepped out of the main house. Yu Tian Heng's car was already waiting for her at the door. When he looked at the figure that leisurely approached in the rearview mirror, his first thought was … Not herself.
The purple silk dress drew an arc with each step. It was very fitting and decorated the body. The big maroon wave lolled loosely over his shoulders, the little face swept lightly... Everything seemed so comfortable, so natural.
Just now, he was thinking that it was time to get a stylist at home or to take her somewhere else to do some styling. It seemed like it wasn't necessary. For the first time, he felt a sense of appreciation for her appearance, a feeling that only he knew, and only he knew, because he had never revealed the admiration in his heart.
He withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror and pressed the button to unlock the door. As the car slowly drove out of the palace, no one said a word, not even a word of greeting.
Jane leaned back in her chair and tilted her head to the side, watching the scenery pass by outside the window. The last words left behind by Secretary Liu were still on her mind. She was pregnant, and she wanted to give birth to her child …
In fact, she did not hate Secretary Liu, but felt that she was very pitiful. She recalled that when she was pregnant with a child of unknown origin, she had to run to the hospital several times to beat it up. This was the pitiful aspect of a woman. She would never be able to be as free and easy as a man. She could understand why Secretary Liu didn't want to knock out a child.
She had been in a daze the entire way. She didn't even know that Yu Tianheng had peeked at her in the rearview mirror several times. Yu Tian Heng peeked at her because not long after she left the Yu Family, he discovered that she didn't have a single piece of jewelry on her body, not even a necklace!
The venue for the gala was basically a place for the women to compete. Every woman would try their best to add luster to their body and bring honor to their man. However, she couldn't find a single trace of metal on her body.
Yu Tianheng wasn't that kind of person to be vain. Normally, she liked to wear casual clothes, and her hair was tied up like an aunt's. She didn't even like jewelry. He had no objections. However, on this occasion … Wearing a formal attire with his neck bare seemed somewhat unreasonable!
"Where's your jewelry?" Yu Tian Heng asked calmly.
"I don't have any jewelry," she said in the same flat tone.
Six years ago, she had been forced by debts to the point where she could barely eat. For the past six years, she had had to support her family, earn tuition for Xin Xin, and had never had the spare money to buy jewelry. Today, six years later, under the envious gazes of everyone, she married into a rich family and became the young mistress of the imperial family.
She didn't complain nor hate him. Those worldly possessions weren't things that she liked to pursue, so it didn't matter whether they were there or not.
Hearing her say this, Yu Tian Heng was speechless. He had indeed never seen her wear any jewelry, and he hadn't even bought a wedding ring for her. He didn't think that a woman could be so simple.
Of all the women he had ever known, which was not the Jewelry Collector? They would only try their best to trick the man into entering the jewelry store, then coquettishly lean beside the man and point at the jewelry like this.
Yu Tian Heng muttered to himself for a bit, then took out his cell phone from the cabinet. He called his secretary and got straight to the point: "Where are the jewelry for the dress? "Why aren't you here?"
Hearing that, the secretary immediately stuttered, "Young Master Heng …" "I'm sorry, but I'll pick a copy for you to send over right now."
"No need. Tell Heng Xin to bring the jewelry to the door and wait for me. I'll be there shortly." With that, Yu Tian Heng hung up.
Hearing his conversation with his secretary, she unconsciously lowered her head to look at herself. Only then did she realize how simple and elegant her outfit was. But she really didn't have any jewelry, otherwise she wouldn't have walked out in such a monotonous manner.
The car turned a corner and headed in the other direction. Yu Tianheng drove fast, perhaps because of the lack of time. After a while, he parked his car in front of a jewelry store called Everlasting Jewelry. There were already two security guards and a waitress at the entrance. "Seeing Yu Tianheng's car, he greeted it with a smile.
"Young Master Heng, this is the jewelry that you might like. Please choose one." The waitress handed him a box full of jewelry. It was glittering with gold and was filled with precious gems and diamond-like items.
Yu Tianheng only glanced at the jewelry in the box and calmly said to Jane Qianlin, "Pick one yourself. Hurry."
As she looked at the dazzling array of jewelry, she secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. To be honest, she was afraid that she would accidentally lose something of this value. That would be a waste. Leaving such a precious item on your body is a burden, so … If it wasn't for tonight's banquet, she really didn't want to waste this money. After all, it wasn't a small sum.
Because she was in a hurry, she didn't have much time to choose. After a casual glance, she picked out a purple gemstone necklace, which looked to be a good match for her dress. She smiled and said to the waiter, "This one."
"Miss, what's the rest?" What else do you want? " the waiter asked respectfully as he wrapped her up.
"No need."
"What about earrings? These earrings go with the necklace. " the waiter asked, pointing to a pair of pink and purple earrings.
Jian Qian Ning considered that these things were definitely priceless, and was just about to say that there was no need for it, when Yu Tian Heng impatiently shouted in front of her, "Get all of this for her! There's no need to pack it up! Hurry up!"
The service lady immediately took off the four items on the necklace and ring bracelet and handed them to her along with the bag. Jian Qian Ning opened her mouth and was at a loss for words, but she accepted it in the nick of time. He suddenly stopped and called out to the waitress who had turned around, "Wait!"
The waiter stopped and turned to look at Yu Tian Heng: "May I ask if Young Master Heng has any other orders?"
"Show me." He said that the service lady obediently handed the remaining jewelry over. Yu Tian Heng took a glance and picked up a diamond ring. "That's enough. Go back to work."
When the waiter left, Jane Qianlin was wondering why he suddenly bought a woman's diamond ring. Was she supposed to buy another one? However, Yu Tianheng handed over the ring at the right time and said seriously, "This is a wedding ring, so as to avoid giving people the feeling that our family is so stingy, we don't even have a ring when we get married, take it!"
The wedding ring, the dazzling ring that Jane had stared at his fingertips. This diamond ring of about two grams, was the wedding ring he had bought for her? She was very surprised, and of course touched, though he had made his words ugly!
She took it and placed it gently on her ring finger. The ring was not too big, just right between her fingers. She finally had her own wedding ring. This ring, which symbolized her identity, was currently surrounded by a halo.
"Hurry up and put on all the jewelry. We're almost at the hotel where the party will be held." Yu Tian Heng could not help but urge when he saw her in a daze. He knew what she was thinking, but he didn't have time to let her think.
All day long, countless women had recommended to him that they want to be his companion. Somehow, he had actually brought out the woman he hated so much. He didn't know what kind of crazy things he was doing. He brought her to the party and even bought her a set of gems as well as a wedding ring. Today … He was abnormal again!
Although he had always been unwilling to admit it, he felt guilty when he first saw Jane Qianlin after his conversation with Secretary Liu today. Perhaps it was this guilt that made him suddenly decide to take her to the party. Was this considered a type of nourishment? Perhaps, of course, he would still not admit it!
Jian Qian Ning didn't say anything as she quietly put on the purple jewel bracelet and the necklace. As the buttons on the necklace were a little tight, she tried several times but to no avail. She made a gesture like this, but unfortunately, she still couldn't do it. She was so anxious that she even started sweating. Her fingers were also placed on the chain, hurting painfully.
Just as she was at a loss as to what to do, the car suddenly stopped at the side of the road with a 'shua' sound. Jane Qianlin leaned forward and almost hit the windshield of the car. Fortunately, the things that she didn't even dare to touch were still there.
"What's wrong?" Jian Qian Ning looked outside the window and asked puzzledly. Have we arrived? This doesn't look like a five-star hotel. Outside the window was a large shopping mall, while the hotel was two hundred meters ahead of them.
Yu Tian Heng didn't say anything. Instead, he took the gem necklace from her hand and said, "Come here."
Jian Qianlin froze for a moment before obediently extending her neck. Yu Tianheng's hands brushed past her ears and circled to the back of her neck. In an instant, Jian Qian Ning could smell a masculine scent coming from his body. She lowered her eyes slightly and allowed the warmth from his fingertips to gradually spread to her skin. It was a kind of heart-palpitating feeling.
If she hadn't been provoked by Secretary Liu's incident, she would have been very touched. Every time he would have treated her with the slightest bit of gentleness and gentleness, she would have been deeply moved by him. That kind of self was very silly, very naive!
After putting on the necklace for her, Yu Tian Heng took the earrings from her knees and said seriously, "Come here."
Jian Qianyu leaned forward a little, almost jumping into his embrace. She felt something cool pass through her ear, and then she felt his warm fingers caressing her. He never knew, so he was also a meticulous person, so he had many sides!
After putting on the earrings and necklace, just as Yu Tian Heng was about to move away, Jian Qian Ning took out the expensive diamond ring and handed it to him, then looked at him fixedly. Since it was a wedding ring, he should have helped her put it on, Jane thought so, so she handed it to him without hesitation.
Yu Tian Heng was slightly startled. He looked down at the ring in her hand, and after a moment of hesitation, he took the ring from her hand. With his other hand, he held her hand, and carefully slipped the diamond ring between her fingers.
Once again, she felt the slight coolness between her fingers. The car was restarted and the dim yellow light from the street lamp shone through the window, making the small diamond even more dazzling. Jian Qianyu slightly bent her fingers, afraid that she would lose it.
She remembered how, as a child, Huan Huan had once made a small ring out of a red string and asked her to marry her, just as she had done on television. He even promised that when he grew up, he would buy her a very big gold ring. "The aunts in the courtyard were so amused that they took her hand and laughed. She quickly made a promissory note and was determined to get her hand on that large gold ring in the future.
Of course, she didn't write the IOU because she already remembered the promise in her heart. When she grew up, she realized that remembering it in her heart was far from enough. He was the main character, the one who made the promise!
It was just that she didn't expect that he would suddenly appear and fulfill her promise when she treated it as a joke. That's right, he had cashed in! The diamond ring on his finger was his promise, his promise between his fingers!
