Chapter 294

Qiao man looked out of the French window. The garden lights of various colors made the fine spring rain appear even more dense and misty.

The phone in her palm gradually turned from bright to dark, and finally, the screen turned black.

The last Bit of light in the room disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.

She sat on the floor in a daze. Rather than saying that her dark and clean eyes were looking out of the window, it was more like they were empty, even empty without any focus.

If it weren’t for the occasional lightning that streaked across the sky, reflecting everything in the room into the glass window and then refracting it into her eyes, she probably wouldn’t have noticed that she was trembling tenderly.

It was an instinctive reaction brought about by an unknown fear. Especially when she thought of the words that Fu Qingshan said that he might die, her entire body trembled even more violently.

After being immersed in this dense trembling and fear for a few minutes, she finally seemed to have a little practical reaction. She lowered her head, pressed the lock screen button, entered the password, and quickly dialed that person’s number.

She admitted that when she had just spoken to Fu Qingshan on the phone, she had been a little angry, so she had not meant what she said. She had even said a bunch of heartless words that she did not care about.

One was for Yan ‘er, and the other was for herself.

After calculating, Yan ‘Er’s child should be born soon. She was more than eight months pregnant. Where would she be?

Would she be living in a foreign country across thousands of mountains and rivers, or in an unknown corner of this city, living a life in the dark?

Then there was JI Yunshen’s way of handling things. It was probably because his thoughts were deeply ingrained as a man, so when faced with anything, he would subconsciously handle it according to his own methods and methods.

He had never thought of her. Of course, to be more precise, he had never thought that she would share the burden with him.

So, even if he died for her, so what?

She would not understand him more and love him more because of this. Instead, she would blame him even more because of this.

There was even a second when she wondered if the promise he made to her was just words. That was why he was so calm even when it was a matter of life and death. So calm that she wondered if she was too vicious So vicious that he had to use such an extreme and cruel method to prove something to her.

The Room was very quiet. There was only the sound of the air conditioning, the sound of the spring rain outside the window, and the beeping of the radio waves on the phone.

Lightning and thunder rose and fell one after another. Other than the cold beeping on the other end of the phone, there was no reaction at all.

Her heart was curled up, as if she had suddenly lost her footing and fell from the cliff. Then, facing the wind that kept pouring up from the cliff, she fell down rapidly.

It was not until the man’s deep and somewhat hoarse voice came from the other end of the radio wave that her heart seemed to be pulled back to its original position. Even so, it did not cover up the increasingly rapid and hot heartbeat. “Man Man. ”

Qiao Man subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone, almost using all her strength to turn white. “where are you? ”

“I’m about to leave the mountain. ”

“Come back for a while… no, I’m not feeling well… ”

Qiao Man’s soft and soft voice sounded especially pleasant in the middle of the night. “You… don’t leave tonight, okay? ”

Ji Yunshen had one hand on the door and the other on the steering wheel. After hearing her words, his body could not help but tense up. After a few seconds, he said, “where are you feeling unwell? I asked Yihuai to come over. ”

“It seems, it seems that… I’m not feeling well. ”

Ji Yunshen,”…”

The man seemed to be at a loss for a second or two. He could probably guess the reason why her feelings for him had suddenly changed so drastically.

“Man man, be good. Something happened at the military area. I have to rush back to take care of it… ”

The rain was very heavy, and lightning and thunder appeared on the roof of the car from time to time. For some reason, many images of her hiding in a corner suddenly appeared in his mind. Moreover, these images would become clearer as the car bumped.

A few seconds, or even more than ten seconds later, he finally suppressed this emotion and continued to coax her with a low, magnetic voice,”… after I’m done with it, I’ll ask my superior for a few more days of leave, and then I’ll go to the mountains to accompany you, okay?”

Qiao man did not say anything. She probably felt that if she did not make things clear, he would continue to pretend to be confused.

Even if he died because of this, she believed that he must have kept her in the dark until the last person knew about it.

In fact, sometimes in this relationship, it was not because she was so weak. There were also times when he did not tell her anything and relied on her to guess everything. That was why when she was in trouble, she would always subconsciously run away because she did not know.. That man’s true thoughts could not be seen through or understood.

No one said another word and no one hung up the phone. After a long stalemate, Qiao man finally spoke “Ji Yunshen, just now, Fu Qingshan called me. I think you should have guessed it. Do you really want me to take the initiative to ask about everything Love is a matter between two people. No matter how well you hide everything, there will always be a day when you will be exposed… “… “…”

She closed her eyes. After a long while, she continued in a gentle yet somewhat tired voice, “perhaps our current situation has a lot to do with you hiding everything from me, not telling me, or even not trusting me. ”

From the time they got married until now, it had been more than a year. He had almost covered up everything that he had investigated behind the scenes. Some things that could not be hidden, he only let her know the beginning, but he never let her know the end.

For example, about the child that he had lost, about Zhou Lanqing, about Ji Donghe… …

There were so many of them that she could not count them all.

The man on the other end was silent for a long time, so long that Qiao man thought that the other end had gone offline or hung up. Only then did she hear his voice. He said.. “Man man, there are some things that I can bear by myself. You only need to live as happily as you can. ”

“So, what you’re saying is that even if you were to die in the line of duty this time, I can only say that Ji Yunshen, you’re too great. You’re willing to sacrifice your life for me? ”

How could she not know that she had something to do with the fact that she was in such a hurry to obtain military merits.

Ji Donghe’s status as a founding father of the nation was not something that Ji Yunshen could disintegrate overnight. If he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to take a shortcut and obtain military merits that no one else could accomplish It was one of the fastest and most effective shortcuts.

Ji Yunshen’s left thumb habitually rubbed the wedding ring on his Middle Finger, and his tone became more indifferent “Man man, the feeling of being unable to do anything is enough for me to experience it once in my life. Believe me, the probability of success is 40% higher than the probability of failure. ”

“then… what if I fail? ”

Ji Yunshen’s eyes were filled with a lot of loneliness “I’ve already arranged for you to go abroad. If anything happens to me, someone will escort you abroad. I’ve also opened a private account for you. There are already over a billion in it. If you don’t make any big investments, your normal life should be enough for a lifetime. ”

“then… What about the child? Ji Yunshen, do you want this child to be born without a father? ”

Ji Yunshen took a deep breath. He gripped the phone so hard that his fingers turned white. “If I don’t come back, you can find him a new father. ”

In other words, she could remarry, but the prerequisite for remarrying was that the divorce agreement, and even the divorce procedures, had already been completed. All she had to do was wait for him to succeed in this mission or fail.

Should she be glad that there was such a man behind her, who quietly paid for her, and did everything for her?

“Ji Yunshen, do you know that you’re more selfish than anyone else? You’re doing a scoundrel’s thing in the name of love. ”

Qiao Man’s every word clearly hit his eardrums through the radio waves. He smiled, but it was an extremely bitter smile “I know, man man. I’ve let you down. I’ve always let you down. Do you know that “sometimes I regret it. If I hadn’t hidden so much from you in the beginning, would I not feel so guilty now? Would I not be tossing and turning at night, unable to fall asleep

“But life is a single choice. Since I’ve made a choice, I won’t regret it. ”

Ji Yunshen skillfully controlled the steering wheel. As he listened to the increasingly heavy breathing sounds on the other end of the phone, even the choking sound of breathing, his heart stopped beating for a few seconds.

“Man Man, I’m sorry, but I love you. ”

After saying that, he cut off the communication and turned on flight mode.

There was no way back. Even if it was filled with darkness, he had to continue walking. He could not be cowardly, and he could not be soft-hearted.

…

Qiao man heard the beeping from the other end of the phone. She felt that not only was the rain outside heavy, but her heart was also heavy with rain.

Almost the next second after she heard the end of the call, she dialed the phone back. What answered her was a mechanical and cold voice prompt, “hello, the number you have dialed has been switched off. ”

Tears seemed to have finally burst out like a dam. She told herself that she could not cry, and there was nothing to cry about.

…

Fu Qingshan arrived at the villa in the bamboo forest at noon a month later.

Qiao man was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. When she heard the sound of a car engine coming from outside the window, she immediately lifted the blanket and ran barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window.

When she saw the tall figure of the man walking down from the Black Shijue, disappointment flooded her like a tide.

That man was not him, it was Fu Qingshan.

Feeling powerless, she almost did not even have the strength to stand up. She reached out to support herself against the wall beside her, moved back to the bed, and continued with her earlier actions.

When Auntie Zhao heard the sound of the engine outside the villa, her first reaction was that Ji Yunshen had come. However, when she saw that he was a good friend of her husband, her eyes revealed a look of disapproval for the first time.

Perhaps it was because she felt that man man had been tormented by her pregnancy reaction for the past month, but he had never appeared.

Fu Qingshan walked in and changed into his slippers. He glanced at Auntie Zhao, who was standing a few steps away and was hesitating. “where is she? ”

This “She” , Auntie Zhao obviously knew that he was referring to Qiao Man.

Auntie Zhao pointed upstairs and said respectfully as usual, “she’s in the master bedroom upstairs. She said that she felt a little dizzy and was taking an afternoon nap. ”

“How’s her condition for the past month? ”

Fu Qingshan lifted his feet and walked towards the stairs. As he walked, he asked Auntie Zhao about her condition.

“Not good. Her hands and feet are very swollen and she has gestational diabetes. She doesn’t eat much and doesn’t eat much. After being pregnant for more than seven months, she only gained ten pounds. I’m really scared… ”

Auntie Zhao didn’t say the rest. She thought that even if she didn’t say it, Fu Qingshan was smart enough to know.

However, it was clear that Fu Qingshan didn’t have the time to play charades with her. “just say it. There’s no harm in it. ”

“She has only gained so little weight. I’m really afraid… that this child will not be healthy when it’s born. ”

Indeed, there were pregnant women who had severe pregnancy reactions. From pregnancy to childbirth, they only gained ten or so pounds, but the prerequisite was that they could eat and drink.

Qiao man’s pregnancy reaction was especially severe, and she couldn’t eat or drink. Although her stomach wasn’t small, she always had a feeling of malnutrition.

“Okay, you should pay more attention to her diet recently. Try to make something that she likes to eat. As for the rest, I will try to persuade her. ”

“Okay, okay. I understand, Mr. Fu. ”

Fu Qingshan walked in front, and Auntie Zhao followed behind him. After hearing Auntie Zhao’s answer, Fu Qingshan turned to one side. His good-looking eyebrows were especially dazzling under the sunlight that shone through the French window “Okay, then you can go downstairs and do your work. I have something to talk to Qiao man alone. ”

“Ah, okay, Mr. Fu. ”

After hearing Fu Qingshan’s words, Auntie Zhao turned around and went downstairs, heading to her own room.

Probably because she had stayed in such a wealthy family for too long, she knew when to say what she should say, when not to say what she should say, when to hide, and when not to hide.

For example, right now, she had to hide.

…

Fu Qingshan walked to the door of the master bedroom with his long legs and knocked on the door in a gentlemanly manner.

At first, he knocked a few times, but no one answered. Fu Qingshan lost his patience and said through the door in a low voice, “Qiao man, open the door. I have something to tell you about old JI… ”

Two seconds after old JI said those two words, the door was opened by a woman in a pink cartoon nightdress. Her belly was bulging, and it was particularly eye-catching on her petite and thin body.

“What’s the matter? ”

Qiao man did not invite him in. She just stood by the door and looked at him.

Fu Qingshan raised his beautiful eyebrows and paused for a few seconds before saying with a smile, “Qiao Man, I really want to know what it feels like to say something but not mean it. ”

“What are you here for? To make fun of me, or are you just here to mock me? ”

Fu Qingshan stretched out his hands and made a surrender gesture. “okay, I admit defeat. I can’t win against you. ”

Then, he took out a letter from the pocket of his suit and handed it to her. “before he left, he left a letter for you. ”

Ji Yunshen was seriously injured when he went to Myanmar on a mission. Later, he suddenly lost contact on the way back to his country. Everyone speculated that he might have been ambushed and met with an accident.
