Chapter 56

It was as if he had a strict attitude towards life. Unless the sky collapsed, he would eat breakfast and read the newspaper at 7: 30 in the morning.

He still had a red nose and a thin face, but his eyes seemed even larger and more lively. Meng Shaoqian placed the pill in front of her, and brought out a cup of warm water.

Jingzhi unblinkingly swallowed the pill, and after drinking half a cup of water, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Since Shao Ting is not here, I naturally have the duty to take care of you." Seeing that she had finished consuming the medicine, he didn't linger any longer. After instructing her to rest properly, he turned around and left the room.

Time is the easiest thing in the world to pass. The most tormenting thing in the world was time.

The new year had already passed, and Meng Family did not eat reunion dinner. Her most beloved son and husband were not by his side and they were not in the mood to talk. In the huge room, only Jingzhi and Meng Shaoqian were left to keep watch over the year.

Noon. At midnight, fireworks lit up the night sky of the city, awakening the new year. After becoming aware of the situation, he called his mother to congratulate her on the new year. After that, he held onto the phone tightly for a long time, and still called Meng Shaoting …

Sorry, the phone you dialed is down...

Quiet And Steadfast's heart surged with grief and loss. He held the receiver for a long time and refused to put it down. Why did he shut down his phone at noon in the United States?

"Shao Ting doesn't have any official business today. He will be on vacation during New York's Chinese New Year." Meng Shaoqian's voice slowly rang out, but he suddenly took a step back. He was standing not far behind her, and was uncomfortably close.

Jingzhi forced out a smile. "I'll head upstairs first. Happy New Year, Big Brother."

She turned around and prepared to go upstairs, but a hand shot out diagonally to block her path. When she lifted her head and met Meng Shaoqian's unfathomable eyes, she became a little nervous for some reason: "Big Brother?"

"Happy New Year." His voice was very slow, but it had lost its usual calm and collected tone. There was a hint of gentleness in it, and Jingjing only felt her scalp tingle. She lowered her head and was about to walk around him and go upstairs, but a kiss instead fell down.

Right on her forehead, it was moist yet soft, like a feather sweeping across her skin, Jingzhi's entire body was suddenly tense, and unexpectedly, a wave of disgust rose from the bottom of her heart. In that moment, her expression revealed the emotions from the bottom of her heart, Meng Shaoqian's face turned gloomy, and she involuntarily clenched her fists, just as he was about to make a move …

"Shao Feng, Fu Jingzhi, what are you doing!"
