The Sun’s rays at five o’clock in the afternoon were deep orange.

Ji Yunshen walked over with his strong and vigorous long legs. His tall and imposing body looked even taller and slender against the orange-red light that poured in through the French window. When he approached her, he almost blocked out all the light above her head It also filled up the bottom of her pitch-black eyes.

Seeing that she was standing there without moving, Ji Yunshen raised his exquisite and beautiful straight eyebrows and asked in a deep and magnetic voice, “what’s wrong, man man? ”

Qiao man hurriedly shook her head. “nothing, let’s go. ”

It was past five in Lin city, and it was the rush hour for work. The traffic jam on the road was very serious.

Ji Yunshen’s smoky gray Bentley had just entered the traffic flow in front of the office building when the entire road was suddenly blocked by a car accident in front of them, turning it into a parking lot.

Qiao man kept raising her left wrist to look at her watch, afraid that she would be late.

One had to know that the biggest taboo when meeting an elder was to be late.

Especially since she had a lot of unhappiness with Ji Yunshen’s mother, if she was late, it would be hard not to let his mother think in other ways, just like… … Just like how she deliberately treated her in such a way that did not respect her elders …

But in reality, no matter what unhappiness they had, she would not respond in such a rude way, or even in a way that did not respect her elders. Her upbringing did not allow it.

Just like that, after more than ten minutes of traffic jam, Qiao man began to feel uneasy. “Ji Yunshen, what should we do if the traffic jam is so serious? ”

Ji Yunshen, on the other hand, was very calm and composed. One Hand Lazily rested on the car window to support his head, and the other on the steering wheel. When he heard Qiao Man’s words, his pair of deep eyes slowly looked over, it was so casual that it made people a little jealous “It’s alright. If the traffic continues, I’ll make another appointment with my mother. ”

Qiao man knew that other than making another appointment, there was no other better way, so she fell silent.

Time passed by minute by minute. When there were only ten minutes left before the date, the car in front finally began to slowly move forward.

From the place where Qiao man worked to the Galaxy Hotel, even if there was no traffic jam, it would still take forty minutes to drive. Moreover, it was the rush hour at the end of the day and traffic was very heavy on every road. If they continued to calculate according to this schedule.. If she and JI yunshen rushed to the Galaxy Hotel, they would be at least half an hour late.

It was not five minutes or ten minutes, but half an hour.

Mu Xi was a gold-medal manager in the entertainment industry. For her to be able to achieve what she had today, apart from her own talent, she also had to work tirelessly. Of course, she was more self-disciplined, and… … She had a very good sense of time …

Tong Qin had once told her that Mu Xi had almost zero tolerance towards her artistes in terms of her sense of time.

In other words, those who did not have a sense of time would be eliminated by her.

When she thought of this, Qiao man suddenly realized that she was overthinking things.

She was not JI Yunshen’s wife. Moreover, this date was proposed by Mu Xi. Even if she was late, she could explain it to him as if she was an ordinary person. She really did not know what she was thinking about?

Although she did not want to admit it in her heart, she had to admit that she had just put herself in Ji Yunshen’s girlfriend or wife role. That was why she thought so highly of Mu Xi. In fact… … There was really no need …

The reason she had agreed to meet Mu Xi was to stop herself from running away.

She would not run away from this relationship, Ji Yunshen, or his family.

After thinking it through, she sank her back into the back of the seat. Then, she turned her head and looked at the city setting sun that was jumping between high-rise buildings, as well as the people on the road.

Ji Yunshen restarted the car and slowly drove forward with the car in front of him. Just as he drove a few dozen meters forward, the phone on the dashboard vibrated. He put on his Bluetooth headset and slid down the answer button.

The wind that was about to enter the night blew in through the car window and gently brushed past his face with a tantalizing tickle.

Qiao man kept tilting her head to look out of the window. When the man next to her picked up the phone, all of her senses were unconsciously focused on him, especially when an elegant female voice came from the other end of the phone Qiao man guessed that the other party’s voice was Mu Xi.

“Xiao Shen, mom has already arrived at the Galaxy Hotel. Are you and man man in the private room? ”

Ji Yunshen’s deep eyes were fixed on the road ahead. He occasionally looked at the rearview mirror on both sides of the car. After hearing Mu Xi’s words, he slowly said, “Mom, there’s a bit of traffic jam here. Go in and order something to eat. Man Man and I will rush over as soon as possible. ”

In fact, at this time, Qiao man was still very glad that Ji Yunshen was by her side.

No matter what kind of attitude she had towards Mu Xi, whether it was respect or disrespect, with him in the middle, it was a hundred times better than her apologetic explanation.

After Mu Xi heard it, she did not have any extra emotions. “okay, there’s no rush. Drive slowly. ”

“Okay, I’m hanging up. ”

After Ji Yunshen cut off the phone communication, he turned his head and glanced at Qiao man who was beside him. Seeing that she was looking out of the window in a relaxed manner, he did not say anything. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the Galaxy Hotel.

…

Forty-five minutes later, Ji Yunshen’s smoke-gray Bentley slowly stopped at the parking lot in front of the Galaxy Hotel.

The surroundings were filled with garden lights, floor lights, and Tall Street lights that were scattered with dim yellow light. The neon lights of all colors mixed together, rendering everything in front of Qiao man colorful Her mood was also like these colorful lights, complicated and difficult to understand.

She was about to push open the car door and get out of the car when she saw the tall man walk around the front of the car and very gentlemanly opened the door of the passenger seat for her. He stretched out his big hand to welcome her. She was stunned for more than ten seconds Only then did she put her hand in the palm of his big hand and slowly said, “thank you. ”

Ji Yunshen did not say anything. He just raised his eyebrows as a response.

Qiao Man’s feet were still wearing the ten-centimeter high heels. She did not know whether it was because he was standing by the car door or because she was subconsciously very nervous and afraid, but for some reason, the pointed high heels suddenly slanted to one side.

She let out a short and hurried scream. Her hands subconsciously reached out to grab something, but they grabbed onto his white shirt.

Due to the force of her fall, a few buttons on his white shirt instantly fell to the ground. His untrimmed nails even accidentally left a few scratches on his chest.

The man did not even frown. He only stretched out a pair of iron arms and hugged her firmly in his wide embrace. “You’re not a child anymore. Why do you always fall when you walk? ”

Qiao man stood firmly in his embrace. From her angle, she could clearly see the scratches on his chest, and… … The effects of the intense exercise they had done in bed …

If they just walked in like that, would Mu Xi think that they were late because of the passion between young people?

Ji Yunshen saw her lowering her head and looking at his chest seriously, so he couldn’t help but smile. “I’ll let you see enough tonight. MOM has been waiting inside for a long time, let’s go in. ”

The buttons on his white shirt fell on the ground four or five times. Unless he changed into a new one, it wouldn’t be able to cover the scratches on his chest.

“Ji Yunshen, if you go in like this, it will be easy for others to misunderstand… ”

Ji Yunshen did not notice the details at the beginning. After hearing her words, he looked at his chest and paused for about four or five seconds before he slowly said, “so… do you have any other good ideas? ”

There was no large shopping mall near the Galaxy Hotel where one could buy a shirt to change into at the last minute, and it was too late to buy a shirt to change into at the shopping mall that was further away. So, just as he said.. There was indeed no better way.

She stretched out her hand and tidied up his shirt, but no matter how she tidied it up, it could not cover up the few glaring scratches. In the end, she gave up.

Seeing that she was no longer tormenting him, Ji Yunshen asked in a low voice, “can we go in now? ”

Qiao man nodded. “Yes. ”

After saying that, the man stretched out his long arms and wrapped them around the woman’s waist that was not as slim as a fist. Then, he opened his long and strong legs and walked side by side with the woman beside him towards the entrance of the Galaxy Hotel.

The night wind blew gently. The Hem of Qiao Man’s dress was blown up by the wind. From time to time, it floated to his legs, bringing with it the unique charm and romance between a man and a woman.

Qiao man kept her head lowered. Her disheveled hair fell on her cheeks, almost covering half of her face. No one could see her face and the expression on her face clearly.

Ji Yunshen did not force her. He hugged her tightly all the way. Under the gaze of all the passersby, they walked towards the direction of the private room inside.

Mu Xi did not order any food. Instead, she sat on the dining chair and brewed some tea. When Ji Yunshen pushed the door open and walked in, she had just brewed the last step. When the tea was ready, she raised her head and looked at Ji Yunshen and Qiao man across the dining table.

Other than their matching figures and looks, the first thing that came into her sight was Ji Yunshen’s disheveled clothes and the glaring scratches on his chest.

She did not have much of a reaction. Instead, she pointed at the dining table across from her. “You two take a seat. I don’t know what man man likes to eat, so I didn’t order anything. Xiao Shen, let’s start ordering now. ”

Ji Yunshen nodded and then held Qiao man and sat on the table opposite Mu Xi. He sat next to Qiao man and rang the bell to call for the waiter outside the door.

After the waiter walked in, Ji Yunshen started ordering the dishes that Mu Xi and Qiao man liked to eat.

Mu Xi knew how picky her son was, so she frowned and said, “Xiao Shen, don’t just order the things that man man and I like to eat. Order the things that you like to eat too! ”

“The things that you like to eat are the things that I like to eat, so I can order anything. ”

Ji Yunshen stood up and picked up the tea that Mu Xi had just brewed. After pouring a cup for Mu Xi, Qiao Man, and himself, he waved his hand, signaling for the waiters who were still waiting to start preparing the meal.

After hearing Ji Yunshen’s words, Mu Xi raised her beautiful eyebrows. “Son, I have to admit that this time, I really underestimated the influence of love on you. ”

In the past, she thought that Ji Yunshen liked Qiao man so much because he wanted to disobey and provoke her. All these years, he had complained and hated this family, and he used this form to vent it all out.

However, at this moment, she really felt that his son loved Qiao man terribly. He loved her deeply from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Yunshen picked up the teacup in front of him and brought it close to his thin lips. After taking a SIP, he said calmly, “mom, actually saying ‘this time’ is not accurate. You guys are underestimating me every time. ”

After hearing this, Mu Xi fell silent.

Of course, she understood the teasing and teasing in Ji Yunshen’s words. She also understood the helplessness in his words.

After more than ten seconds of Silence, Mu Xi picked up the teacup in front of her. After taking a SIP elegantly, she looked at Qiao man who was beside Ji Yunshen. “Man man, do you feel uncomfortable when I call you that? ”

Qiao man did not expect the topic to suddenly change to her. She was stunned for two seconds before she slowly shook her head. “No, everyone around me calls me that. ”

Mu Xi nodded. She first glanced at Ji Yunshen, who looked calm and collected. Then, she looked back at Qiao man who was beside Ji Yunshen “Man man, I asked you out tonight. Firstly, I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I want to catch up with you. Secondly, this useless son of mine has always been thinking about you… ”

Mu Xi paused when she said this. Although Qiao Man’s expression did not change much, she continued to speak carefully “His father and I are old, and we can’t make decisions for him anymore. If you still like each other, don’t drag it out any longer. We want to let you live in glory as soon as possible, and let the three of us live a peaceful and beautiful life again. ”

“Of course… ”

Mu Xi paused again and continued after a few seconds “I know that my words are too understated to you and me, who used to be estranged and even unhappy, but these are the few words that I have thought about for a long time and are also the most sincere… ”

Qiao Man did not hear Mu Xi finish her sentence and interrupted her, “Auntie… ”

Mu Xi did not feel displeased at her sudden interruption. Instead, she continued, “hey, tell me. ”

“… Auntie, it’s like this. Up until now, I have never thought of getting back together with Ji Yunshen.”

Qiao man placed her hands on the dining table. Every time she said something, her hands would clench tighter “Of course, I admit that I can’t let go of him and Tian Tian, but I have never thought of starting over with him immediately. In the future, I may continue to hang on to him like this until I feel tired and have had enough of it. Only then will I turn back. ”

“And I can’t give a specific number at this time. It might be a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years. ”

“I know that Ji Yunshen has always been the favored son of Heaven since he was young, and he is also the precious treasure that you all cherish. I definitely can’t bear for me to treat him like this, but I can only treat him like this now. If you and uncle feel that you can’t accept it, you should advise him to give up as soon as possible. This way, I won’t live in guilt and unease all the time. ”

“although this sentence sounds fake, deep down, I really hope that he can be happy and be happier than me. ”

Mu Xi put down the empty teacup in her hand, picked up the teapot, and poured herself another cup. Then, she said in a low and slow tone, “man man, it’s like this. Maybe I didn’t express it clearly just now, so I’ll say it again. ”

“His father and I really hope that you two can get back together. That way, Xiao Shen won’t be so decadent. However, it’s impossible to explain things clearly in just a few words. It’s even more impossible for us to completely separate or start over with just a word of forgiveness or no forgiveness. We hope that you two can get back together, but we can also accept the fact that you two can’t get back together. ”

“In other words, his father and I have already decided on you as our daughter-in-law. No matter how much you torment Xiao Shen, our thoughts will not change. ”

In other words, she and Ji Ming had agreed to Ji Yunshen dating her?

Or rather, it was not very accurate to say that they were dating, but they wanted to start a family.

A woman like her, who had a bad reputation, a mild depression, a mental illness, and a fatal wound, was simply a disgrace to a prestigious family like theirs.

If there was a chance, they would definitely distance themselves from her. How could they possibly allow their proudest son to have a relationship with them?

Qiao man pursed her lips and did not speak for a long time.

And she really did not know what to say.

Mu Xi was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, she did not see her speak, so she said again, “man man, love is not something that can be forced. I respect your opinion and choice, but can I ask you for a favor? ”

Qiao man heard this and looked at Mu Xi, who was opposite her. She subconsciously asked,”… what is it?”

“Xiao Shen’s grandfather may not have much time left. I want him to see our family reunite while he is still alive. If it is convenient for you, can you attend the eighty-year-old old man’s birthday party? ” I want him to stop thinking that Xiao Shen will be alone for the rest of his life… “… “…”

Qiao man could not say anything to reject Mu Xi.

It was not just because she was Ji Yunshen’s mother, but also because she could not get over the hurdle in her heart.

Zhou Lanqing’s death back then was definitely related to her.

Even though she had never mentioned anything to anyone over the years, the guilt she felt towards Zhou Lanqing was still tormenting her.

If she could use this method to repay him, she would be very happy.

Seeing that Qiao man did not speak, Mu Xi asked again, “man man, can you… promise me? ”

Qiao Man’s lips curled into a faint smile, then she nodded, “yes, I promise you. ”

“Thank you, thank you man man. ”

Mu Xi had always felt that her son had good taste, but when it came to Qiao Man, she felt that his taste was terrible. However, at this moment, she felt that Qiao man was worthy of his son’s deep love.

People who did not complain usually had a beautiful soul. Compared to the outside world, this beautiful soul was more important.

At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and brought the food that Ji Yunshen had ordered.

Mu Xi still had an artiste-agent contract to discuss later, so she did not stay any longer. Instead, she stood up and was ready to leave. “Xiao Shen, man man, I still have an artiste-agent contract to discuss later, so I’ll leave first. I can’t accompany you guys for dinner. ”

Ji Yunshen and Qiao man nodded almost at the same time and said at the same time, “okay. ”

Mu Xi smiled and walked out. Just as she took two steps, she seemed to have remembered something and said slowly, “also, Xiao Shen… ”

Ji Yunshen heard Mu Xi’s words and turned his head to look in her direction. “Yes… ”

“Take it easy on that kind of thing in the future. Man Man is so thin, don’t hurt her. ”

After Mu Xi said that, she put on her sunglasses and walked out of the private room.

Qiao Man’s delicate and beautiful face was already red, and she did not look up for a long time.

If it were not for Ji Yunshen getting closer and closer, she might not even have said a word.

“Why are you so close to me? ”

Ji Yunshen chuckled softly, and then blew a breath of hot air into her ear. “I want to do the thing that mom said I didn’t do. Anyway, I have already left the impression of being anxious in her eyes, so I don’t need to be anxious again! ”

Qiao man looked at him and frowned. She reached out and pushed him away. “Ji Yunshen, you, you, you… can you have some face? Don’t climb up the pole, do you really think you are a monkey! ”

Ji Yunshen did not care about her curses at all. His voice was even more low and magnetic in the quiet private room. “Man man, you don’t mean what you say. ”

After he finished speaking, he did not continue to approach her and tease her.

Instead, he began to serve her food and cut the steak.

Qiao man looked at the gentle man beside her. For a moment, she was in a daze.

Then, she quickly regained her calm.

…

After Qiao Man and Ji Yunshen had dinner, it was already 9:30 pm at night.

The Green Dragon Lake Condominium and the Blue Mountain villa were in the opposite direction. After she walked out of the Galaxy Hotel, she said to the tall man beside her, “Ji Yunshen, you can drive home. You don’t have to send me home. I’ll just take a taxi home… ”

“No, I’m not at ease if you take a taxi home. Get in the car, I’ll send you home. ”

After being stubborn with Ji Yunshen for a while, she finally let him send her home.

The road was filled with blooming magnolia trees and the fragrance of various petals.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before slowly opening them. She looked at the neon lights outside the window and the stars in the distant sky.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Green Dragon Lake apartment.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to say goodbye to Tian Tian when she heard him say, “I want to go in and sit for a while. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Tian Tian. I really miss her… ”

Ji Yunshen had been talking for a long time. It had really been a long time.

He had not seen Tian Tian for half a month. Ever since Tian Tian was born, other than when he went to Syria to look for Qiao Man, he had spent most of the remaining time on Tian Tian.

When she thought of Tian Tian’s high fever that night, she could not help but feel a pain in her heart.

Not only did she feel sorry for Tian Tian, she also felt sorry for Tian Tian… … Ji Yunshen …

“Tian Tian should be asleep by now… ”

Ji Yunshen did not mind it at all. “It’s good that she’s asleep. She even gave me a chance to sleep openly. ”
