“however… The prerequisite for taking the initiative is that you’re certain that you can’t give up on this relationship, but you don’t want to start over immediately. If you still don’t want to escape, then you might as well find a way to get the best of both worlds, which is for one party to take the initiative to accommodate the other party

“You said that from the moment you started dating your husband, it was because he took the initiative more. This time, it was you who took the initiative. You took the child and flew overseas

“I think with your ability, it’s not difficult for you to find another job with a high salary. ”

“whether it’s at home or abroad, as long as you’re in the same city, the words that Miyazaki Hayao said won’t appear. It’s raining in the city you live in. I really wanted to ask if you had an umbrella, but I resisted. I was afraid that you would say that you didn’t, and I was powerless. Just like how I love you, but I can’t give you the companionship that you want. ”

“Love doesn’t need to travel across oceans, nor does it need to be grand. As long as you’re in the same city, you can see each other often, and you can hear each other’s news frequently. Even if it’s just a short break now, he’ll feel much less pain because of it, and you’ll also feel much less pain because of it. ”

“Of course, if in the end you still feel that there are many problems between the two of you, and that it’s not suitable for them to continue being together, then it’s not too late to separate then. After all… we always want to try again for the person We loved deeply, even if we’re covered in bruises and bruises… ”

The female streamer’s voice was very sweet. In the deep, deep night, it was like a cool stream flowing from the tip of one’s heart, carrying a weight that could not be ignored.

Qiao man could no longer hear what the female streamer said after that. The words of the female streamer, ‘the person We loved deeply, we always want to try again, even if we’re covered in bruises and bruises… ‘ kept echoing in her mind

Perhaps she had immersed herself too deeply into this story.

She even felt that the narrator in the emotional hotline had many similarities with her emotional experience.

For example, there were many problems between the husband and wife, and these problems were either some injuries or some indescribable exhaustion… …

After divorcing him, she had thought more than once about whether they could start over.

But every time, the answer was no.

Not only was there a JI Han between them, but there was also her inferiority complex and cowardice, as well as those injuries that she had never been able to forgive.

Her eyes, her child that had yet to take shape in her stomach, her parents, 20% of the burns on her body, the growing depression, and… Tian Tian …

With so much hurt, if she could really just brush it off and let it go with a smile, wouldn’t she be letting down the time that was so hard to endure that she couldn’t sleep, and the disappointment that was so close to despair time and time again?

But just as the female host had said, if she couldn’t give it up, didn’t want to start over immediately, and didn’t want to escape, then she might as well find a way to get the best of both worlds. One side would take the initiative to accommodate the other.

And this way of handling their relationship was very suitable for her and Ji Yunshen.

She was sure that she couldn’t give up on Ji Yunshen, but she didn’t want to start over immediately. In that case, for the sake of both her and Ji Yunshen, she could reduce the pain during this period. The best way was to stay in the same city.

In her impression, between her and Ji Yunshen, Ji Yunshen had always taken the initiative more.

So this time, it was her who took the initiative.

She decided to stay in forest city. This way, not only could she reduce the pain between her and Ji Yunshen, but she could also see Tian Tian from time to time and accompany Tian Tian.

Thinking of this, she reached out and turned off the recorder beside her pillow.

Then, she turned her body sideways and looked out the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows. She looked out at the wind and rain outside the window, and at the foot of the mountain, which gradually became a bustling city filled with red wine and green wine.

She watched for a long time before she fell asleep with a faint headache.

…

It was Saturday today, so Ji Yunshen did not go to work.

When Ji Yunshen came back from his morning jog, Elena went up to greet him “Mr. Ji, just now, your father’s personal assistant came over and brought Miss Tian Tian to the JI family’s old mansion. He said that it’s old master JI’s birthday at the end of this month. He wants Tian Tian to stay with old master JI for a few more days to make it lively. ”

Last night, Ji Ming had called him and said that he would send someone to pick Tian Tian up early this morning. He knew about this, so he just nodded slightly and said, “okay, I got it. ”

After saying that, he was ready to go around Elena and go upstairs. Just as he walked to her side, he heard Elena’s voice again “Oh right, Mr. Ji, your mother just called. She said that she wants you to make a trip back before old master JI’s birthday and bring… Miss Qiao with you. ”

Ji Yunshen’s exquisite eyebrows furrowed slightly. After a few seconds, he replied in a low voice, “okay, I got it. ”

He put his hands into the pockets of his sweatpants and his pair of strong long legs strolled steadily towards the stairway. His tall and straight figure was reflected in the bright and beautiful light from the windows It seemed to be automatically coated with a layer of golden light, which was especially dazzling.

At the same time, in the guest room on the second floor.

Qiao man woke up very early because she had a terrible hangover and was suffering from jet lag. She felt that her condition was very bad and she could hardly face Ji Yunshen and Tian Tian, so she did not get out of bed immediately. Instead, she stayed in bed and used the method of scrolling through Weibo She scattered the pain of having a headache and jet lag.

Speaking of which, she had the problem of staying in bed since she was young.

Or to be more precise, she liked to stay in bed since she was young. As long as she was given a book or something she was interested in, she could stay in bed for a day without eating or drinking.

In the past, the Internet was not developed. When she stayed in bed, most of her time was spent reading books, comic books, or English books that were difficult to understand.

Now was the era of the highly developed Internet. When she stayed in bed, almost all of her time was spent on electronic products, mobile phones or IPADS, watching popular movies and TV series, variety talk shows, and reality shows. A day passed by.

After returning to China, she did not have the high-intensity work pressure that she had when she was overseas. Other than facing Ji Yunshen, she felt very relaxed both physically and mentally.

…

After Ji Yunshen went upstairs, he first went back to the master bedroom to take a hot shower. Then, he changed into a set of casual clothes and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.

After he went out of the room, he saw that Qiao Man’s guest room door was tightly shut. He frowned again. After pausing for a few seconds, he walked towards the tightly shut door. He raised and lowered his big hand, then lowered and raised it again. He repeated this a few times.. Only then did he land on the Rosewood door and lightly knocked a few times.

Qiao man browsed Weibo for a while. She felt that it wasn’t very interesting, so she began to watch variety talk shows. After watching for a few minutes, she heard a knock on the door from outside.

She hurriedly pressed the pause button on the video and stretched out her hand to tidy up her hair and nightgown. Then, she said in a low voice, “who is it? Is there something wrong? ”

“It’s me. Can I come in? ”

Qiao Man’s brows moved slightly. She stretched out her hand to tidy up her hair and nightgown before she slowly said, “yes, you can come in… ”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Yunshen reached out and pushed open the Rosewood door. In the next second, his tall and straight figure entered her sight and quickly filled her eyes.

The man walked over in a few big strides. Before Qiao Man could react, the back of his broad hand landed on her forehead. After making sure that she did not have a cold or fever from the hangover, his tight and handsome face eased up a little “Are you hungry? Do you have a headache? ”

Not only did she have a headache, but she also did not have any strength in her body. She could not move. The moment she moved, she felt her stomach churning, as if she would throw up in the next second.

“No… ”

She wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she said, “I’m fine… ”

When the man heard her answer, which she wanted to say but hesitated, his face, which had eased up a little earlier, unconsciously tensed up again, waiting for what she was going to say next.

“Ji Yunshen, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I’ve already made up my mind about what to do next… ”

“What Plan? ”

Qiao man pursed her Red Lips, and after two seconds, she spoke slowly and softly “I plan to stay in forest city and not go back to the United States to escape from you, but… I’ve never thought of starting over with you. I want to… Bring Tian Tian to live in the Azure Dragon Lake apartment alone and then find a stable job. If you think you can accept it… ”

“I accept. ”

Qiao man did not expect him to reply so directly, thinking that he would mock her a little.

After all… … What she was doing now was indeed unreasonable, heartless and selfish …

He was so outstanding that there were countless women around him. There was no need for him to stay where he was, waiting for her to turn around or occasionally turn around on a whim.

However, he did not. He just stood where he was and did not go anywhere.

His deep love made her doubt if she was really too ungrateful.

However… … When she woke up from her dream in the middle of the night, struggling in the intense resentment and resentment that she could not extricate herself from, what she thought of the most was that she would never forgive, never .. She turned around.

“whether you want to return to the United States or stay in forest city, whether you take Tian Tian Away or keep Tian Tian, I will accept all of it. However, the premise of all of this is… your man can only be me. ”

He could let her go, let her escape from him, and escape from this relationship. However, his indulgence was only limited to making her happier and then starting the new life that she wanted. He did not want her to start a new relationship.

Whether it was the past, the present, or the distant future, her man could only be him.

Previously, Ji Yunshen did not express his thoughts to her so clearly. He was so casual that she was a little surprised. However, at this moment, Ji Yunshen was the JI Yunshen that she had always been familiar with. He was overbearing and despotic However, he also had unreasonable indulgence and indulgence that had no bottom line.

This kind of him had always made her unable to stop.

She thought that she would never meet a man like him again in this lifetime.

Or perhaps, she would never meet a man as perfect as him. He would always make people feel the same kind of attraction when they first met him.

Qiao man did not speak. She did not know what to say to accurately express her current state of mind.

Ji Yunshen waited for a while, but she did not speak. Then, he said in a low voice, “if you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your acquiescence. ”

“I’ll send someone to deliver your and Tian Tian’s things to the Azure Dragon Lake apartment. Elena will also go over to take care of your and Tian Tian’s food and living. Recently, there are many film and television projects to be launched in the Ming Yuan Group. I might be very busy, so I might not be able to go over to see you and Tian Tian during this period of time. Also… … It’s the middle of summer and rainy season in Lin city recently. The weather is unpredictable. Take care of yourselves.”

After giving his instructions, Ji Yunshen did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.

He would definitely not do anything unnecessary to her now. As long as it was what she wanted, he would satisfy her.

And the prerequisite for all of this was that her man could only be him.

It did not matter whether they were in the state of divorce or in the state of marriage.

Qiao man watched as his tall and straight back gradually disappeared from her sight. For a moment, she even felt that all of this was just torturing herself.

…

Ji Yunshen was very efficient. Within half an hour, he had already ordered people to tidy up all the things related to her and Tian Tian in the Blue Mountain villa. He also personally drove her and Elena to the Azure Dragon Lake apartment.

The Sun today was very bright and beautiful, illuminating every blade of grass and tree in the Azure Dragon Lake apartment even more exquisitely.

From the beginning of summer to the current midsummer, the place seemed to have not changed much in the three months that she had been away. The grass and trees were not barren. The limestone pavement was clean and there was not a single fallen leaf. It was as if someone often came to clean it up.

Ji Yunshen pushed open the door of the driver’s seat and walked in front. Qiao man and Elena walked behind him. Elena saw that Ji Yunshen was walking in front and did not say anything. She turned around and said to Qiao Man who was beside her, “Miss Qiao, Mr. Ji has sent people to clean this place every day during the few months you’ve been away. Sometimes, he even comes over to clean it himself… ”

Before Elena could finish her words, Ji Yunshen, who was walking in front, interrupted her with a low and hoarse voice. He called her name, clearly displeased. “Elena… ”

“Aiya, Mr. Ji, you’ve done so much, but you didn’t tell Miss Qiao. How could she know what you’ve done… ”

“I don’t need her to know. ”

After saying that, Ji Yunshen slowed down his footsteps and immediately sped up, quickly walking towards the entrance of the Green Dragon Lake apartment.

This sentence not only stunned Elena, who was chattering non-stop, but it also stunned Qiao Man, who was greatly intrigued by Elena’s words.

It was just a sentence that could not be more ordinary, but it seemed to be mixed with countless strong emotions. It was like an overwhelming force that attacked her.

Elena shook her head and said to Qiao man with emotion, “Miss Qiao, believe me, Mr. Ji really loves you. ”

Qiao man did not continue to ask Elena what else he had done. There were some things that she did not need to ask to feel. It was just that she could not climb over the ice-cold wall in her heart, which made her feel very painful.

The agony of being caught in the middle.

Ji Yunshen walked into the Qinglong Lake apartment and watched them pack Tian Tian and Qiao Man’s things before leaving.

Then… …

Just as he said, he did not appear for a few days.

However, these few days, Qiao man often saw him on television. The reason for his appearance was either because a movie that had invested more than 100 million yuan had started, or the news that the stocks of the Ming Yuan Group had risen by the daily limit.

Of course, there were also a lot of gossip about him. For example, a certain socialite had once again expressed her love for him through the air, and a popular actress had expressed her affection for him.

In short, the probability of him appearing on screen was no less than that of the current a-list celebrities.

The popularity of the topic had even surpassed those a-list celebrities.

She did not continue to open the psychological consultation room with Xie Zhiqian. Instead, she found herself a job and started working from 9 to 5.

Her life had basically returned to what it was like in America. The only difference was that Tian Tian accompanied her.

That night, she worked overtime until 10 o’clock in the evening before returning to the Azure Dragon Lake apartment. Just as she walked in, she did not even have time to take off her high heels when she heard Elena’s panicked footsteps running down the stairs.

Elena was originally prepared to come down to make a phone call, but when she saw Qiao man standing in the hallway, she hurriedly ran over. “Miss Qiao, it’s not good. Miss Tian Tian has a fever. It’s probably because I’ve been waiting for you for the past two days until it was too late and caught a cold… ”

As Qiao man had just started working, there were many places that she needed to familiarize herself with, including the client’s information. Therefore, these few days, she would often work overtime until late at night, so she naturally ignored Tian Tian. She did not think that it would even cause her to catch a cold and have a fever.

She took off the high heels on her feet and ran upstairs without even putting on her slippers.

Tian Tian’s fever was very high, and the occasional ravings she made were calling for her parents.

She did not dare to delay and quickly carried Tian Tian, preparing to send her to the hospital.

Just as she carried Tian Tian downstairs, she saw Elena pick up the landline phone in the living room and dialed a number. She frowned and then asked in a light tone, “Elena, who are you calling? ”

“I’m calling Mr. Ji… ”

“There’s no need. ”

Qiao man slowly shook her head and said in a light tone, “he has been very busy with work recently, don’t disturb him. Tian Tian is my fault for not taking good care of her, I can handle it. ”

Although Elena did not agree with this and felt that it was too tiring for Qiao man to work alone and take care of Tian Tian, seeing how determined she was, she put down the phone in her hand and followed her to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, the elderly doctor took Tian Tian’s temperature and gave her an injection to reduce her fever. After that, he frowned and said sternly, “how did you become a mother? The child’s fever is already so bad, and you only sent her to the hospital? ”

“Let me tell you this, if you had sent her here a little later, the child might have burned his head. ”

Qiao man’s hands that were hanging by her side could not help but clench the fabric of her pants tightly. Her eyes were slightly red as she asked, “then… is she alright now? ”

“She’s fine now. Fortunately, she was sent here in time. I’ve already given her fever medicine. She’ll be fine tomorrow morning after sleeping for a night… ”

Qiao man almost cried. “thank you so much, doctor. ”

The elderly doctor hurriedly said that he was not being polite. Before he left, he shook his head. “I really don’t know how young people nowadays become parents. They’re really too irresponsible… ”

Previously, Qiao man felt that her pain was greater than Ji Yunshen’s. She had suffered so much because of his family and because of the woman he had liked. She should have taken those injuries and continued to hurt him.

However, at this moment, she felt that his pain was no less than hers.

Tian Tian only had a simple fever and a cold, but she was already exhausted from the torment. She could not even imagine how he had taken care of Tian Tian by himself during the five years that she had been away?

She could not even imagine how he had been alone when Tian Tian had been hospitalized so many times because of her heart disease… … How he had endured it ? ?

Elena was old and her heart was not very good. Qiao man let her go back first while she stayed by Tian Tian’s bedside. She looked at Tian Tian’s Pale little face without blinking for a long time before blinking her eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what the Abbot had said to her when she went to the Buddhist temple. “All living things are suffering, joy follows the heart. ”

Perhaps in this world, everyone had their own suffering.

But she had magnified her own pain too much and minimized his pain too much. That was why she felt that her deep love was greater than his.

But perhaps all of this was just an illusion.

…

Unknowingly, it was the end of July. Ji Donghe’s birthday was about to arrive, and it was about to be the day of Ji Han’s court case.

In the JI family’s old residence, Ji Donghe, Ji Ming, and Mu Xi sat on the Leather Sofas in the main hall, discussing the Guest List for Ji Donghe’s 80th birthday.

Ever since Ji Donghe was admitted to the hospital because of Ji Han’s drug, his body had not recovered as well as before. It could be said that every day was worse than the last. Now, as long as he sat for a while, he would feel very tired, and he would not have any strength left in his body.

The doctor said that he might be about to die. He felt that this was quite good. At least, he could go down and accompany Zhou Lanqing as soon as possible.

He owed her for a lifetime, and had let her down for a lifetime. This time, he was going to meet her again. He would definitely treat her well.

Ji Ming and Mu Xi tried to shorten the time, but they still could not resist the tiredness that came from Ji Donghe. He waved his hand and said, “it’s up to you. I’ll go upstairs and sleep for a while. ”

“Dad, you just woke up. Please talk to Xiao Xi and me for a while… ”

Ji Donghe stood up with his cane. After hearing Ji Ming’s words, his sharp eyes became even more profound. After a few seconds, he said, “okay, let’s talk for a while. ”

Ji Ming quickly reached out to help Ji Donghe. Then, he looked at Mu Xi and said slowly, “Dad, about Xiao Shen and Qiao Man… ”

“Let him make his own decisions. ”

Before Ji Ming could finish, Ji Donghe interrupted him. “I don’t have much time left, and I’ve seen through a lot of things. If Xiao Shen really likes her, then let’s do it according to his wishes. This family is going to be handed over to him anyway. ”

Mu Xi and Ji Ming didn’t expect Ji Donghe to agree to what they wanted so easily. After hearing his words, they looked at each other in disbelief for two seconds, then Mu Xi slowly said, “Dad, I know that Ji Han’s matter has made you very sad, but since it has already happened, don’t blame yourself too much. ”

“and Xiao Shen… after so many years, he really likes Qiao Man. Ji Ming and I also think he likes her, so we’ll let him decide for himself. After all… we can’t be with him forever. ”
