Chapter 328

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

Ji Yunshen did not even bat an eyelid. His pair of deep, ocean-like eyes were looking at the woman who had her head lowered and her face filled with the calm emotions of the past through the warm orange light from the table lamp in the corner.

She was no longer like five years ago, crying when she was sad and laughing when she liked. Now, she was more reserved and stronger.

At least when she was bullied, she would not be as passive as she was five years ago.

The long black hair that hung by her waist slid down from her shoulder and landed on the back of his hand. It was slightly itchy and unbearable.

He raised his uninjured hand and tucked her hair behind his ear. His voice and actions were unbelievably gentle “Man Man, do you think that I didn’t act rashly to punish the person who bullied you? Is it also because I don’t love you enough? ”

Qiao Man’s eyes flickered for a moment and she did not speak. The emotions on her face were still calm and indifferent.

Her movements were very swift. Very soon, she pulled out all the glass shards from his palm. When she turned around to retrieve the gauze and bandages, her shoulders were grabbed by his pair of large hands. The distance between them was originally a few centimeters In an instant, they became entangled.

“Man man, before I found you, I would burn incense and pray to Buddha every year, praying that you could come back. At that time, I told Buddha that as long as you could come back, I would throw away all my worries and guilt and sweep away the obstacles and cancer between us, even if those people were my family, even if they were the people I loved deeply. ”

“I don’t deny that when I married you and seduced you into falling in love with me, I did want to create the illusion of a perfect marriage to everyone because of you. I hope that my world will always be perfect and have no regrets. I also admit that I wanted to break up with you briefly five years ago and let you go. I was actually confident that you would continue to love me wholeheartedly

“But in reality, everything was going in the opposite direction

“I don’t want to give up this important part of my life, and I don’t want to give up that important part of my life. But I’ve been running away for so long, and I haven’t been able to escape the day when I have to make a decision. ”

“You’re back. I don’t want to run away anymore. ”

His thin lips kissed her cheek, and he kissed her carefully. “I was wrong, man man. I really know I was wrong. ”

Qiao Man’s pitch-black eyes were already covered in a thin layer of mist. She looked at the man in front of her without blinking “Ji Yunshen, I really shouldn’t have gotten close to you back then, much less married you. The worst thing I should have done was fall in love with you. You said that I was back, and you didn’t want to run away anymore. But I wanted to say that I was back, but I hated you to the core. ”

“I hate you. I hate you for always putting me in a position where I could give up. I hate you for valuing all my feelings, but only my feelings for you are very light. I hate you even more for being so outstanding and surrounded by so many women. I hate you even more for not letting me go even though you clearly can’t give me the happiness I want. I always thought that I could be reborn this time, but every time, it’s a vicious cycle. ”

“Ji Yunshen, I hate you, especially at this moment. ”

She reached out to push away the pair of big hands on her shoulders “Ji Yunshen, please tell me that you love me very much and can’t give up on me before you can be certain that you will give me happiness next time. Otherwise, you will really make me feel that your words are just empty promises and meaningless. ”

“I want to return to the United States for a few days. As for what I want to do, I believe that you have already learned about it from Meng Dongxing. I don’t want to explain anymore. ”

“You may feel that you’ve been wronged and you love me so much, but I don’t know what’s good for you. But if that’s your love, I’m sorry, I really don’t need it anymore! ”

After Qiao man finished speaking coldly, she stood up from his lap “I’ve already pulled out the glass shards on your hand. You’ve been an officer in the special forces. Bandaging your wound should be a basic skill, right? I won’t bandage it for you anymore. ”

She turned around and had just taken two steps when she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks. “and JI Yunshen, since you want to love me openly, then show some sincerity. For example, the marriage that we’ve never broken off. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she did not stay any longer and walked out of the relatively quiet study room.

Ji Yunshen looked at her back view for a long while before he smiled bitterly.

Perhaps sometimes, it was better to take things by force.

…

The next day, in the morning.

When Qiao man woke up, she found that there were no residual warmth or wrinkles by the side of the big bed. It seemed that Ji Yunshen had not returned for the whole night.

Just as she was about to lift the blanket and get out of bed, she saw a black and white paper on the bedside table. On it was written the divorce agreement.

It was the one that she had prepared five years ago. The only difference was that this time, the man’s name was added.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, there was a knock on the door of the master bedroom. She came back to her senses and quickly used her hands to tidy up her messy hair. Then, she said, “please come in. “.

The tall and straight figure pushed the door open and entered until the black cotton slippers entered her sight. “You’re awake? After washing up, quickly come down and eat breakfast. Then, before you go to America, we’ll go to the civil affairs bureau to settle the divorce procedures. ”

Qiao man was caught off guard and looked up. What she saw was the man’s gentle and handsome face. “Won’t you lie to me this time? ”

“No, I’ll keep my word this time. ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, he lifted his feet and walked out of the room without stopping.

Qiao man was stunned on the bed for quite a while before she got up to wash up. Then, she quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs.

Ji Yunshen was sitting at the dining table and reading the morning newspaper. His pair of slender and strong legs were casually crossed together. Sometimes, Qiao Man really felt that his hobby was the same as a retired veteran cadre.

He raised flowers, drank tea, and read the newspaper.

Tian Tian had already been sent to kindergarten by the driver. In the entire living room, there was only her, Ji Yunshen, and Elena, who was busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the footsteps, the man looked up from the newspaper. Even though there were a few wrinkles on his forehead, there were also wrinkles from the story. “It’s coming down, HURRY UP AND EAT! ”

Qiao man nodded. “Okay! ”

For Breakfast, Elena made toast, fried eggs, and warmed up the milk. She did not have much of an appetite and only ate a piece of toast. After drinking two mouthfuls of milk, she felt full.

Putting down the glass of milk, she did not urge the man. Instead, she looked at the handsome man opposite her through the bright morning light.

Perhaps her gaze was too deep and intense, so when the man’s gaze looked over, she did not have time to withdraw her gaze. She fell into the man’s deep gaze.

“Are you full? ”

Qiao man nodded and acknowledged.

Ji Yunshen folded the newspaper in his hand and stood up swiftly. “Alright, then let’s go! ”

It was still the same civil affairs bureau where they got married. The Tall Magnolia trees in early spring were lush and verdant, covering the front door of the civil affairs bureau. One could imagine that with Ji Yunshen’s identity, he did not need to line up or confirm the reasons for the divorce He just needed them to go in and go through the formalities.

The divorce certificate was also red now. Under the sun, it was inexplicably dazzling.

Ji Yunshen was very generous. He gave her a lot of real estate and movable property, but she did not want them. She said that she only wanted Tian Tian.

After he heard it, he basically agreed without any hesitation. He only said that he must be able to visit the children at any time. Of course, it was under the premise that it was convenient for her, and she… … agreed …

Ji Yunshen walked in front the whole time. After going down a few steps, he turned around and looked at the graceful woman under the mottled sunlight. “where are you going? I’ll give you a ride. ”

“from your tone, it sounds like you’re leaving forest city. ”

“Yes, the ten o’clock flight. I have to fly to the capital to do some things. ”

Qiao man raised the watch on her left wrist and glanced at it. She smiled faintly and said, “it’s now a quarter past nine. You don’t have time. Hurry up and leave. I originally wanted to treat you to a break-up meal, but now it might be ruined… ”

She walked down the steps and extended her hand toward him under the mottled sunlight. “So, I wish us a happy divorce! ”

Ji Yunshen glanced at her extended small hand. Two seconds later, he raised his large hand and held her small hand. “Yes, let’s have fun together! ”

After saying goodbye, one of them drove away, while the other took a taxi back to the Blue Mountain Villa to pack up.

Actually, there weren’t many things in the villa. There were only some books and cosmetics that she needed to take with her. As for the rest, she couldn’t care less whether Ji Yunshen wanted to throw them away or give them to other women.

After packing up, it was 11:10 in the afternoon. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely.

Elena had already prepared lunch. She carried the pink suitcase downstairs, walked over to take a few bites, and put down her chopsticks.

Elena glanced at the pink suitcase beside the Living Room Sofa, then at Qiao man, who had put down her chopsticks. She seemed to be thinking about something. “Miss Qiao, are you really going to divorce Mr. Ji? ”

Qiao man smiled and nodded. “The divorce certificate has been collected. My marriage with him has been completely dissolved! ”

Elena picked up the apron in front of her and wiped her hands. Then, she pursed her lips and said slowly, “Miss Qiao, actually, I think Mr. Ji Loves you very much. Everything in this villa is the same as when you left, but he didn’t leave anyone behind when you were here, such as Auntie Zhao, the driver, and the bodyguards. ”

“He said that he can look at things and think of people, but he can’t look at people and think of people. ”

“Is that so? ” Qiao man still smiled. “those things are all in the past for me. ”

Elena had a one-sided understanding of the relationship between them, so she could only advise them so much. Just as she was about to turn around, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said, “Miss Qiao, please wait for a moment, ” before running upstairs.

After more than ten seconds, Elena used her clumsy body to quickly move to her side “This is a photo that I found when I was cleaning the storage room. Mr. Ji might have accidentally left it there. I wanted to return it to him, but he has been too busy recently, so I didn’t find the right time to give it to him. Since the person in the photo is you, I’ll return it to you first as a last memento. ”

“Okay, thank you! ”

Qiao man took the photo. On it, she was sleeping soundly. The White Gauze curtain was slightly fluttering in the wind. Under the bright and Beautiful Sun at seven or eight o’clock in the morning, her face was peaceful and gentle.

At the back of the photo, there was a man’s vigorous and powerful handwriting. On it, there was a line that read: “How much hatred does the West wind have, it can’t blow away the curving eyebrows. “.

The following line read: “enter my lovesickness door, know how bitter my lovesickness is. “.

The time of signing was five years ago, November 27th.

Holding the photo, she sat on the Sofa in the living room and waited for Tian Tian to finish school. She watched as the sun converged from east to west at eleven o’clock in the afternoon, and now it was setting in the West.

Tian Tian’s dark eyes were stained with the orange-red glow of the sunset, but it did not add any warmth.

Tian Tian returned to the Blue Mountain villa at 4:30 am. As usual, she carried the little yellow duck’s schoolbag on her back. When she walked in, she used a soft voice to call out, “mommy… ”

Qiao man came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to catch Tian Tian’s figure that was rushing over. “Tian Tian, run slowly. BE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL! ”

Tian Tian rarely ran and played with her classmates at school. She usually maintained a quiet state. It was probably because she did not see Qiao man when she went to kindergarten in the morning, so when she saw her sitting in the living room waiting for her to finish school.. She had forgotten that her teacher and Daddi had told her to run for her life.

When Qiao man opened her arms to Hug Tian Tian, she noticed that Tian Tian was panting a little and it was very difficult for her to breathe.

“Tian Tian, did you run until your heart was not feeling well just now? ”

Tian Tian nodded and stretched out her chubby hand to cover her chest. “Mommy… I’m fine, I’ll be fine after a while. ”

She often encountered this kind of breathing difficulty, and every time, she had to breathe hard.

Because Daddi had told her that as long as she breathed hard, she would be able to fulfill her wish to see Mommy.

Since she had already fulfilled her wish to see her mother by breathing hard, there was no reason for her not to breathe hard now.

Qiao man had never experienced Tian Tian’s difficulty in breathing, so she was a little flustered and at a loss. “Tian Tian, how are you? Mommy will call an ambulance right now and send you to the hospital, okay? ”

“Mommy, I’m really fine… I’m breathing hard. ”

Qiao man did not dare to gamble. Just as she was about to get up to get her phone to make a call, she realized that Tian Tian’s breathing had stabilized.

Tian Tian’s small face was a little Pale. “Mummy, look, am I alright? Daddy said that as long as I breathe hard, I can overcome any difficulty. So mummy, I’M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING! ”

Qiao man’s eyes reddened. She reached out and rubbed Tian Tian’s soft hair. “Our Tian Tian is really great! ”

Perhaps Tian Tian was more sensitive. She had almost found the suitcase beside the sofa the moment she entered the room. After breathing smoothly, her black grape-like eyes rolled around and she pointed at the suitcase in the corner “Mummy, why is there a suitcase there? Are you going on a business trip? ”

“No… ”

Qiao man shook her head, squatted down, and looked at Tian Tian “Tian Tian, it’s like this. Mother is going to move out of this apartment with you now. In the future, you and I will live at Mother’s house, but father can also visit you at any time. It’s just that we don’t live together, and we don’t live together anymore! ”

“So, you two got divorced? ”

Qiao man didn’t know if Tian Tian understood the meaning of divorce since she was so young, but since she had asked, she nodded.

“Does that mean that in the future, daddy will marry a new aunt, and mummy will marry a new daddy? ”

Tian Tian’s dark eyes were filled with tears. “When you two have children of your own, I will also become the least favored child, right? ”

“Tian Tian! ” Qiao man took a deep breath, and her eyes could not help but redden “Your father and I really have too many problems. It will be much easier for us to be separated than to be together. Daddy will not be so tired, and mummy will not be so tired. As for whether daddy will marry a new aunt, I don’t know, but mummy may not marry a new daddy. Mummy has Tian Tian! ”

“That’s just what you’re thinking right now. Life is so long, how can mommy only be with Tian Tian! ”

Tian Tian reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. She lowered her head and looked as if she had been wronged.

Qiao man pulled Tian Tian into her arms. “Tian Tian, mommy has already given all her love to Daddy. She really can’t spare any more love to give to others. Do you believe in Mommy? ”

Tian Tian’s shoulders twitched. “Why would she still divorce someone who loves her so much! ”

“this… ” Qiao man scratched Tian Tian’s little nose. “It’s probably because your daddy and I divorced not because we didn’t love each other, but because we loved each other too much. That’s why we’ve been hurting each other. ”

Tian Tian could no longer understand the profound logic behind her words, but she had managed to catch a lot of things about loving her father from her mother’s words.

Although her father and mother’s relationship could not be eased now, she still had her daughter who had a congenital heart disease. She promised to use all the acting skills she had learned in her long five years of life to matchmake her father and mother.

“mother, is there really no room for negotiation? ”

“No, baby! ”

Tian Tian seemed to have calmed down at this moment. “Alright then, I’ll go with you. ”

…

The Green Dragon Lake apartment had always been there, but it hadn’t been there for five years, so there was a lot of dust in it.

She led Tian Tian into the apartment. First, she turned on the television to watch cartoons for Tian Tian. Then, she started to clean up the apartment.

When everything was done, she turned around to look for Tian Tian. By the time she was done, Tian Tian had already Fallen Asleep on the Sofa.

The tiny figure fell into a deep sleep under the flickering light of the television.

She walked over and squatted beside Tian Tian. She touched Tian Tian’s eyelashes and her cheeks. Other than the emptiness of adapting to the new environment, Tian Tian also felt the satisfaction of being by her side.

Because she had gone through the divorce procedures with Ji Yunshen, she had changed her flight to America to tomorrow. Because of the time difference, she could only call Meng Dongxing now. It should be morning in America.

The beeping sounded twice before the other side picked up. “I asked my secretary to wake up early to pick you up at the airport. In the end, he told me that he didn’t see you. Did you take the car and leave first, or did you not come at all? ”

“there was something going on in Lin city. I suddenly changed my flight. I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I didn’t call you in advance. Sorry! ”

Meng Dongxing didn’t mind. “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I have plenty of time, but what about you? I helped you provoke Ji Yunshen, but you didn’t rekindle the spark of love? ”

“Don’t worry about me. Worry more about yourself. Okay, I’M HANGING UP! ”

Qiao man was about to hang up when she heard Meng Dongxing’s voice from the other side. He called her name loudly, “Qiao Man… ”

“Yes… what’s the matter? ”

“Five years ago… ” Meng Dongxing wanted to say something, but he hesitated After a while, he said, “five years ago, Ji Yunshen and Tong Qin didn’t sleep together. Fang Jinglun and I deliberately pretended to satisfy Tong Qin’s imagination. I’m sorry. At that time, Fang Jinglun and I joined forces and lied to Ji Yunshen and you! ”

Although Meng Dongxing didn’t have any feelings for Tong Qin, he was his biological sister after all. He had high hopes for her, but he didn’t expect that she would go further and further away and eventually lose her life.

Qiao man held her phone so hard that her hand turned white. After a long time, she replied, “in the past five years, you had so many opportunities to tell me. Why didn’t you? ”

“I thought that you could forget Ji Yunshen and accept Xi Chen again, but clearly, Xi Chen could not enter your heart at all. He said that he had given up, and asked me to give up as well. I thought about it and felt that giving up was a good choice. After all, with Xi Chen’s conditions, finding another peerless beauty was not a difficult thing! ”

Qiao man closed her eyes. “So… the feeling of being played in your hands and hiding behind you and laughing secretly, isn’t it great? ”

“Qiao Man… ”

Meng Dongxing’s voice paused for a few seconds “When I saved you at the back of the mountain of the Blue Mountain Villa, and when I found you and saved you in Syria, you said that you would be eternally grateful to me, so I thought that you wouldn’t fall out over such a small matter. After all, without this matter, you and Ji Yunshen would have been estranged. You would also have quarreled and broken up, because this matter was never the real obstacle between the two of you

“It’s just that the occurrence of this matter brought forward the time when the two of you would have a huge estrangement and break up

“But, Meng Dongxing, this is completely different! ”

Qiao man smiled and her voice was even more indifferent. “So, you found me in the refugee house in Syria and saved me because of this incident to atone for your sins. Secondly, it’s for Wen Cheng and Gu Xichen! ”

“No, these three are equally important. ” Meng Dongxing’s voice was even more magnetic and deep. “I’m atoning for my sins, and Wen Cheng and Xichen must be you too! ”

“What do you mean? ”

“You’ll know soon enough! ”

Meng Dongxing did not continue speaking. Instead, he raised his watch and continued, “also, let’s put aside our divorce agreement for now. Since Ji Yunshen has chosen to divorce you, I should at least help you agitate him so that I can vent my hatred. ”

“Then aren’t you afraid that Wen Cheng will find you awkward? ”

“It’s okay. She already knows and has expressed her understanding. Alright, I’ll hang up now! ”

Qiao man had not finished asking when Meng Dongxing hung up the phone. She called a few times, but there was no sound on the other end. Just as she was about to call back, a mechanical female notification sounded.

She frowned and placed her phone on the Sofa. She was a little annoyed, but also a little absent-minded.

…

Qingshan villa.

Just as Lin Yan was about to go to bed, she heard a knock on the door.

She frowned slightly and walked over to open the door. She saw Lin Nancheng standing outside the door.

“brother, it’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep? ”

Lin Nancheng took a deep breath. “I really had no choice in forcing you into the forest of death. I thought that I could give it my all, but I didn’t succeed. I even implicated you and Qiao Man! I even… implicated Xin Qiao. ”
