The white light above her head lit up the girl’s smile that had long lost its gentleness. There was a hint of indifference and coldness, but it was hard to tell the depth of it.
It seemed like she did it on purpose, but it didn’t seem like she did it on purpose.
It was hard for people to understand.
The window at the end was filled with misty mist. The heavy rain was still falling, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in humidity.
Fu Qingshan’s movements paused. In the end, he put the cigarette case back into his pocket and didn’t smoke.
“You’re not afraid of him anymore? What, a marriage proposal gives you so much confidence? Do you have to torture him until he’s hospitalized? ”
Qiao man retracted her fair hands and winked at him innocently. “I can understand this as… young master Fu is making a grievance for Miss Ji Han? ”
“She loved him for ten years. Qiao man, tell me, how many decades can there be in life? ”
Qiao man lowered her head and looked at the blurry figure projected on the ground. She smiled and said, “are you sure that they separated because of my intervention? And Not because Ji Han cared more about the latter… in front of him and the JI family’s eldest daughter? ”
“He knew from the very beginning that she was afraid. ”
Qiao Man’s deep black eyes were filled with smiles. They were not deep, but they were enough for others to see. “If that’s the case, young master JI is really too much of a jerk! ”
“Then why don’t you go and persuade him to divorce me? Won’t everyone be happy then! ”
Fu Qingshan’s distinct and deep facial features were filled with interest. His thin lips were slightly parted, and his voice was as calm as water.
He said, “Qiao Man, he won’t get married because of anyone, and he won’t get divorced because of anyone unless he wants to. “Also, since he’s going to marry you, he probably hasn’t thought about getting divorced. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tormented himself like this. He’s just afraid that you’ll get angry and misunderstand! ”
“Oh, young master Fu, I’m really flattered by your words! But… ” she was still smiling However, her eyes didn’t reach her eyes. “since he’s willing to be tormented by me, young master Fu, please don’t say such things in the future. I’m narrow-minded, and it’s very easy to cause misunderstandings! ”
“Qiao man, it’s useless for me to be so sour. If you have the ability, go and completely tie down his heart. Otherwise, in the future, either he tortures you, or you torment him. In the end, both sides will be injured. Other than hatred, there’s nothing left! ”
“thank you. I hope you and Yan ‘er are the same. ”
After saying that, both of them fell silent.
After that, they remained silent until the emergency room’s door was pushed open. The tall man lay on the narrow hospital bed, in a rare sorry state.
The doctor walked over and frowned “because the patient drank too much alcohol, he caused a large amount of bleeding in his upper digestive tract. He had just placed a gastric tube and sucked out the blood in his stomach. Fortunately, he did not continue to bleed. However, the patient has a history of gastric disease. From now until tomorrow night, the family members should not give him food or water to avoid aggravating the disease and causing secondary bleeding. ”
Qiao man nodded and calmed down the slight guilt and heartache that she did not want to admit. She smiled and thanked him. “thank you, Doctor. You’ve worked hard. ”
After pushing Ji Yunshen back to the high-class suite, the doctor and nurse walked out. Qiao man looked at Fu Qingshan, who was standing by the bed. “It’s your wedding night. You should go back quickly! She’ll think too much when she’s alone at home. ”
Fu Qingshan raised his beautiful eyebrows. His deep and charming eyes were filled with a profound meaning. He said, “Qiao Man, there are some things that can not be avoided. If you love him, you have to endure his habits and flaws. Those ten years of love have brought him habits and flaws. ”
“admit it. You will still be disappointed, but you will still look forward to it. No one is complete, and you are the same. ”
So, everyone had seen it so clearly.
So, no one was a fool.
Fu Qingshan left, leaving only her and Ji Yunshen in the room.
She pulled a chair over and sat quietly by the bed, looking at his eyes and brows.
As she looked and looked, the sky had unknowingly brightened up.
…
When Ji Yunshen woke up, the first thing he saw was the rays of the setting sun shining into the room from outside the window. He narrowed his eyes to get used to it for a long time before he could see the scene in the room clearly.
He moved, but there was a tingling sensation on one side of his arm from being pressed by a heavy object for a long time. He looked over and saw the girl’s fair and delicate face.
She was still sleeping, breathing lightly.
Under the sun, the girl’s long black hair, which was like a waterfall, was scattered on the white blanket, giving off a beautiful glow.
Her thick and curly eyelashes cast a beautiful silhouette on her fair and tender face, as pure as an angel that had fallen into the mortal world, not tainted by dust.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too intense and deep, the girl slowly opened her eyes. When she realized that her head was resting on the man’s arm, and her hands were wrapped around it like an octopus, she immediately retreated in embarrassment.
She tidied her hair and glanced at him indifferently. “You’re awake? Are you feeling unwell? ”
“Yes! ” His gaze was deep as he looked at her. After a few seconds, he said, “your arm has gone numb! ”
“When I was asleep, I clearly didn’t sleep with anything! ”
“So you mean that I did it on purpose? I deliberately let you sleep on it until your entire arm is numb? Mrs. Ji, in your eyes, am I the typical person who doesn’t want to be abused or abused, or even self-abused? ”
Qiao man stood up, her eyes fluttering with guilt. “Mr. Ji has so many criminal records, you can’t blame others for not believing you. ”
“…”Ji Yunshen looked at her in silence.
Under his high-pressure gaze, Qiao man hurriedly raised her feet and walked out, but he stopped her. “where are you going? ”
“I’ll get the doctor to check you again. ”
“There’s no need. ”
He shook his head and pulled out the needle in his hand. “Go and check me out of the hospital. Let’s go home now. ”
Qiao man frowned and looked at him for a while. In the end, she did not say anything and quietly went to check him out of the hospital.
When she came back, Secretary Yang was already standing in the ward. When he saw her, he respectfully called her madam.
She smiled and nodded. She pushed the list and the medicine box in her hand into the man’s arms. “The doctor has already written the instructions on how to take the medicine. I have an appointment with a friend. I’ll be back later. ”
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but the man stretched out his hand again and pulled her back. “where are you going? Who are you going to see? ”
Qiao man smiled gently and put on a good-natured look. “Oh, I’m going to see Xie Zhiqian. He has a girlfriend and wants to treat me to a meal? ”
“Why didn’t you tell me? ”
“He didn’t say that he can bring his family along, and I think you won’t be willing to go either. ” She pulled her hand out and looked at Secretary Yang, still smiling. “Secretary Yang, I’ll have to trouble you. ”
After saying that, she walked out of the ward.
His exquisite jawline was slightly taut, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. His black eyes alternated between coldness and fanaticism, and his expression was unprecedentedly unsightly.
Just as Secretary Yang was about to be suffocated by this low pressure, he heard the man’s deep and sexy voice say, “Secretary Yang, send two people to follow Madam. ”
“Yes, president JI. ”
…
Under Xie Zhiqian’s various romantic advances, Bai Feifei finally had a crush on him. Her heart was stirred, and she agreed to become his girlfriend.
For this reason, he specially booked the misty rain restaurant tonight to celebrate. Of course, her friend only invited her.
When she arrived, she was ten minutes late.
“I’m sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road and I was late. ”
Xie Zhiqian did not say anything. Instead, Bai Feifei, who was beside him, said gently, “it’s alright. Ah Qian and I have just arrived. ”
Ah Qian Calling Xie Zhiqian’s name like this, not only was it intimate, it was also intimate.
Qiao Man subconsciously raised her head to look at Xie Zhiqian. The latter nodded his head. It was obvious that he had already taken down Bai Feifei.
A man’s bad nature was that he liked to show off to the people around him after he had gotten a woman.
“Congratulations! ” She picked up Bai Kai beside her, raised it up, and gestured slightly. “You’ve finally got the beauty back! ”
“same here, same here. ”
Xie Zhiqian also raised his cup and took a sip of Bai Kai. Then, he frowned and asked, “where is he? Why isn’t he here? ”
Qiao man obviously knew that he was referring to Ji Yunshen.
“He’s busy and doesn’t have time. ”
Seeing that Qiao Man’s expression was not very natural, Xie Zhiqian raised his eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, “what’s the matter, Qiao man? It’s only been two months, and he’s already been relegated to the Cold Palace? ”
Qiao man crossed her legs and said indifferently, “well, to be exact, I was the one who threw him into the cold palace. Xie Zhiqian, I don’t want to love him anymore. I don’t want to think about it anymore! ”
“Then what’s the point of dragging it out like this? How good would it be to get a divorce right away! ”
Qiao Man’s deep black eyes reflected the figures of the two people opposite her. Her slender and fair fingers played with the cup in her hand, and her tone was as calm as ever.
“I’ve thought about it in the past too. I’ve thought about not wasting my youth anymore, and I’ve thought about cutting off all ties with him. From now on, I’ll be a complete stranger. ”
“But now I don’t want to anymore. Let’s not talk about my mother’s medical expenses. Just after I left him, the Xiao Sisters were eyeing me covetously. Gu Jinyu was pressing me step by step. And Dongfeng… Everything is enough for me to deal with! ”
“So, why should I get a divorce? After a divorce, I might not be able to find a man who is richer and more powerful than him. If I don’t talk about love, young master JI is the perfect man for me. So… there’s no need for ME TO TORTURE MYSELF! ”
“In the future, I only need to think about his money, his power, and the rest will just be for show! ”
Since he could not change his flaws and habits, then she could only change her own flaws and habits.
Xie Zhiqian smiled and nodded, for her analysis and submission to reality. “Yes, it’s a good thing that women only think about men’s money. However, I’m afraid that JI is a swamp that will only make you sink deeper and deeper. ”
Qiao man did not say a word. She just pursed her lips and remained calm.
…
At nine o’clock in the evening, the three of them finished their dinner.
Xie Zhiqian offered to send her back, but she rejected him on the grounds that it was not on the way.
Actually, she still had some selfish motives. She just wanted to stay by herself for a while, even if it was just for a while.
Xie Zhiqian did not force her. He told her to be careful when she went back. When she arrived, she called him back and drove off with Bai Feifei.
She watched as Xie Zhiqian’s car gradually disappeared from her sight. Only then did she slowly turn around and slowly walk forward along the sidewalk.
The Magnolia trees on both sides of the road swayed with the wind. Flower petals drifted down and scattered on the street like a Sea of flowers.
The car sped past, lifting countless petals and obscuring her vision.
After walking for a while in her seven-centimeter high heels, she felt a little tired. Just as she reached out to hail a car, a black rolls-royce stopped at her feet. The half-lowered car window reflected the man’s chiseled face.
It was Jiang Yingdong.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and opened the passenger door. “Man man, where are you going? I’ll send you! ”
Qiao man shook her head and subconsciously rejected him. “There’s no need… ”
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her. “Man man, I brought back Lin Yan’s video for you previously, and I stayed in the hospital for you for such a long time. It’s fine if you don’t thank me, but are you going to reject me even if I send you back? ”
Qiao man took a deep breath and had no choice but to get into the car.
The two of them did not speak. The dim yellow street lights slid past their faces through the windshield. In the flickering lights and shadows, they blurred out everything in the car.
After a long time, Qiao man turned her head and thanked him. “thank you for the incident at Rose Beach! ”
Jiang Yingdong skillfully steered the steering wheel and glanced at her. “Only verbal gratitude? I almost lost my life. ”
“How do you want me to thank you? ”
Jiang Yingdong frowned and seemed to have thought for two seconds. “treat me to a meal some other day. Go to the restaurant we used to frequent. ”
Since he owed someone a favor, there was no reason to be picky, let alone a meal.
“Okay! ”
After about twenty minutes, Jiang Yingdong’s black rolls-royce stopped outside the Blue Mountain villa. Qiao man got out of the car and thanked him again. “thank you for sending me back. ”
“It’s okay. You can go in. I’ll see you inside before you leave. ”
Qiao man did not say anything more to him. She turned around and walked in.
…
On the second floor of the villa, in the study.
Ji Yunshen had been locked inside ever since he came back. He had been dealing with the piles of documents and matters that had piled up over the past few days. Occasionally, he would look up at the clock on the wall until the clock struck nine in the evening. Finally, he could not sit still any longer.
He stood by the window and was about to take out his phone to call Secretary Yang when he saw a girl walking towards the villa’s entrance step by step under the light of the landscape lanterns outside the villa’s main entrance.
A black car was parked outside the black carved gate. Apparently, someone had sent her back.
He turned around and was about to walk out when the phone in his palm vibrated. He swiped the answer button and put it to his ear. “President Ji, madam and Xie Zhiqian got into Jiang Yingdong’s car after their dinner. He was discharged today. ”
“okay, I got it. ”
After hanging up the phone, he opened the door of the study and walked out. He happened to bump into Qiao man who had just gone upstairs. She was slightly stunned when she saw him.
“It’s already so late, you’re still working? ”
Ji Yunshen put one hand in his pocket and played with his thin phone with his other hand. He Hummed faintly.
“Oh, then you go ahead. I’m going to wash up and sleep. ”
When the two of them brushed past each other, he reached out and grabbed her wrist. He said, “man man, I haven’t eaten dinner yet. ”
“Oh, then I’ll ask Zhang Sao to prepare some supper for you. ”
She pulled her hand back. Just as she turned around, she heard the man behind her say, “Zhang Sao has something to do at home, so she took a leave of absence for the next two days. ”
Qiao man was stunned for a moment, but she quickly smiled and said, “Oh, then I’ll go make it for you. ”
As she said that, she went downstairs and did not say another word.
There were not many ingredients left in the fridge, and perhaps Zhang Sao had something to do before she had the time to buy them, so she went home.
She closed the fridge door, picked up the keys on the hall cabinet, and prepared to drive to the nearby supermarket to buy some.
Ever since she got her driver’s license at the age of eighteen, she had only been on the road three or four times, and her skills were already rusty, but she did not want to beg him to drive.
Since she had already drawn the line with him in her heart, from today onwards, she would not ask him for anything that she could do, nor would she rely on him arbitrarily.
These were all delusions. As time went by, they would become problems that needed to be corrected.
As she walked closer to the parking lot, she heard the sound of the villa door opening behind her. The tall figure of the man approached her, and before she could react, he hugged her in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would run away with someone else.
“It’s so late, where are we driving to? ”
Qiao man struggled, but she could not free herself. “there aren’t any ingredients left in the fridge, I’ll drive to the supermarket to buy some. ”
“Do you know how to drive? ” He asked again, and the strength of his arms seemed to have loosened a little.
“I got my driver’s license when I was 18 years old. It’s just that I haven’t been on the streets for many years, but at such a close distance, it shouldn’t be a problem for me. ”
From here to the nearby large supermarket, it only took ten minutes to drive. This was a wealthy area, and the roads were relatively wide. The parking spaces were not crowded, and there were no high-difficulty things involved. She could drive there and back without any problems!
She slowly backed out of his encirclement. The moment she opened the car door, he still pulled her back. “I’ll drive you there. ”
Seeing that he insisted, Qiao man nodded. “Okay! ”
Ten minutes later, the car steadily stopped in front of the parking lot in front of the supermarket. The two got out of the car and walked side by side into the supermarket.
As it was open 24 hours a day, even if it was past nine in the evening, there were still quite a number of people inside. It was the people who lived nearby who came to shop.
Qiao man first went to buy some dairy products, then went to the vegetable section to pick up some fresh ingredients. Ji Yunshen followed behind her the entire time. When he saw that the things she picked were not good enough, he would silently stretch out his hand to take out a better one and hand it to her.
This way, he had an extra touch of the world.
After picking up the vegetables, she still wanted to buy some fruits. However, the moment she turned around, she almost bumped into the shopping cart that the man beside her pushed over. Ji Yunshen quickly pulled her over and pulled her aside.
The man seemed to recognize him and quickly apologized. Then, under his gaze, he left.
Qiao man tidied up her hair that was messed up by him. She still had lingering fear in her heart. “thank you! ”
When the man heard these two words, his brows furrowed even more tightly. He did not say anything.
The fruit section was next to the vegetable section. Qiao man walked over to pick up half a watermelon and two bunches of grapes. When she turned around again, the man following behind her had already disappeared.
She did not mind. After weighing the fruits, she pushed the shopping cart to settle the bill.
After settling the bill, she did not see him. She took out her phone to call his number, but no one picked up.
It was possible that he had gone to smoke, or he had something urgent to attend to and left first.
In short, he would not lose a man like him.
With this thought in mind, she carried the shopping bag and walked out. Then, she pressed the remote control lock to open the car. She placed the shopping bag into the trunk and sat in the driver’s seat, preparing to return to the Blue Mountain villa.
Just as she started the car, the two beams of light in front of the car reflected on the wall of the supermarket entrance, and also reflected the tall figure of the man. He had a cigarette between his fingers and was smoking.
Qiao man was stunned for a moment. She turned off the engine, pushed open the door of the driver’s seat, and walked over.
“I thought you had something to do and left first. It’s very late, let’s go back! ”
Ji Yunshen lowered his head and smoked a cigarette. In the shadow of the backlight, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
He said, “man man, if you didn’t notice me just now, would you have driven away? ”
“Yes, I called you but didn’t pick up. I thought you had something urgent to do and left. Sorry, it won’t happen again. ”
Ji Yunshen didn’t say anything after hearing that. Instead, he put out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the trash can beside him. “Let’s go! ”
On the way back, Qiao Man Felt Ji Yunshen’s silence, but she didn’t ask much. The policy she adopted towards him now was that she didn’t want to, didn’t look at, and didn’t ask.
It wouldn’t make things difficult for him, and it wouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable. Yes, it was a very good method.
Ten minutes later, the car came to a stop. She got out of the car to pick up her things, but was stopped by the man.
“I’ll do it. You go in first, I’ll have a cigarette. ”
“Okay! ”
Qiao man went into the villa, changed her slippers, and went upstairs to change her clothes. When she went downstairs again, the man was standing in front of the refrigerator, sorting the ingredients in the shopping bag and putting them in.
“Your stomach hasn’t recovered yet, so you can only eat some liquid food now. Is Porridge okay? Jujube and Lotus seed Porridge, or Mung Bean Porridge, what flavor do you like? ”
“I’m not picky. ”
The implication was, I’ll eat whatever you make.
“Then Make Mung Bean congee! ”
The man didn’t say anything and let her make it.
Qiao man put on her Apron and made Mung Bean congee according to the method Zhang Sao taught her last time. However, she didn’t expect it to fail this time, and the whole pot of congee fell off.
Maybe she was absent-minded when she made it, so she put in less water.
She turned off the fire and wanted to throw the whole pot of congee away, but the pot was too heavy. Her hand slipped, and the whole pot, along with the hot congee inside, fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Ji Yunshen was chased back to the living room by her. He was sitting on the Sofa with his eyes closed to rest. When he heard the loud noise from the kitchen, he rushed over immediately.
“How is it? Is it hot? ”
Qiao man shook her head and said after a while, “if it’s not hot, it means that it’s a failure. ”
Ji Yunshen looked at the floor borrowed by the wolf and carried her out.
“I’ll do it myself. You can go to sleep if YOU’RE TIRED! ”
Qiao man nodded, took off her apron and went upstairs.
Actually, it was not hot, but how could it be Her hands and legs were drenched in hot porridge. Although it wasn’t that serious, they were all red and swollen.
She took a shower and was about to go look for the medical kit to wipe herself when she saw that the man was sitting by the bed waiting for her. Beside him was the opened medical kit.
“Come here, let me see how you’re doing? ”
Qiao man wanted to say that she was fine, but the look in his eyes was too deep, so she swallowed it back.
She walked over and sat beside him. He picked up the ointment and squeezed it on his fingertips, applying it evenly on the red and swollen areas where she had been scalded.
His slightly calloused warm fingers rubbed and rubbed on the moist skin where she had just taken a shower.
He lowered his head. His serious look was very attractive.
So much so that when he raised his head to look at her, she did not even retract her gaze.
“You can even make porridge like it’s a war. Mrs. Ji has really opened my eyes. ”
Qiao man watched him put the medicine he had just used back into the medicine box and then watched him stand up. It took her quite a while to react to his mocking words.
