Chapter (9

"If my heart is tired, my tears have dried up. This deep love is hard to let go. I once had you forever, but I no longer see you, Twilight and Chaochao. This love will always be hard. I hope I can embrace you again in the next life. How about loving someone?

Stay with me until you grow old..."

In the carriage, this sad love song was played quietly.

Qian Qian fell asleep in Qin Zixin's arms. Ji Lingtian was driving. Qin Zixin looked up at the road ahead from time to time. Occasionally, his peripheral vision would pass by Ji Lingtian in the driver's seat, but he never said a word to him.

Of course Ji Lingtian didn't have any farewell words to say to her, so the car was always quiet on the way to the airport.

…

After arriving at the airport, Qian Qian's mood improved significantly after waking up. She was not as depressed as she had been all morning. She was jumping up and down while holding Qin Zixin's hand.

After the luggage was checked in, Qin Zixin asked, "Qianqian, do you have anything happy to share with mommy?"

He replied with a slight smile, "Daddy told me he will be back next month."

"next month?"

Qin Zixin turned around and glanced at Ji Lingtian, who was wearing sunglasses next to him.

Ji Lingtian and Qin Zixin nodded lightly.

Qin Zixin was a little confused and said Qianqian, "Mommy, you forgot, it's my birthday next month and Daddy is coming back to celebrate my birthday."

"...Oh." She almost forgot, her daughter's birthday was coming soon.

Qian Qian held Qin Zixin's hand, "So Mommy, I'm not afraid of being separated from Daddy now, because Daddy will come back next month..."

Qin Zixin scolded him softly, "Qianqian, just let your dad tell you on the phone when you are born. If you ask your dad to fly back from New York to say it to you, he will be very tired...

"

"Mommy, I also know that Daddy is very busy at work, but Daddy will come back next month not for me, but for you!"

"ah?"

The quirky little devil explained, "My birthday is also the hardest day in Mommy's life, so Daddy wants to give Mommy the best compensation on that day."

The child's explanation is quite logical, but...it sounds a bit strange.

Qin Zixin could only smile stupidly.

"Okay, daughter, it's almost time for security check... Let daddy hold you."

At the security checkpoint, the man took off his sunglasses, picked up his daughter, and kissed her forehead lovingly.

Qian Qian hugged her father's neck, with a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she said sensibly, "Don't worry, I will listen to mommy."

"good."

Ji Lingtian put Qian Qian down and looked at Qin Zixin who smiled lightly, "Take care of yourself."

Qin Zixin had long been accustomed to cooperating with Ji Lingtian. There was reluctance in her eyes and she nodded, "You too."

Announcements began on the plane to remind them of the upcoming flight.

"Qianqian, we're going in."

Qin Ziqian looked at his parents calmly, "Mommy and Daddy, we are about to say goodbye. Why don't you give me a hug?"

Qin Zixin and Ji Lingtian looked at each other, and there was already a tacit understanding in their eyes. They smiled at each other, and Ji Lingtian pressed Qin Zixin into his arms.

Qin Zixin also reached out to hug Ji Lingtian, but if you look carefully, you can see that her hands are trembling slightly.

When he let go of the other party, Ji Lingtian pecked Qin Zixin's beautiful face.

Qian Qian looked happy.

Many people noticed them, which made Qin Zixin blush involuntarily.

Ji Lingtian finally held her face and said softly, "Baby, I love you."

Qin Zixin nodded and replied affectionately, "I love you too."

…

Finally, bidding farewell to Ji Lingtian, Qin Zixin walked into the security checkpoint with Qianqian.

After passing the security check, in the waiting hall, Qin Zixin clutched her chest, her body suddenly softened, and she almost fell, but luckily she held Qianqian in her arms.

Suddenly seeing his mother collapsed, Qin Ziqian was startled. He quickly supported his mother and called out in horror, "Mommy..."

Qin Zixin slowly squatted down and held her chest tightly with her hands.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Qianqian..."

The sudden pain in her heart made Qin Zixin almost speechless, and a steady stream of sweat began to accumulate on her forehead.

"Mommy, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call Daddy..."

Qin Ziqian turned around and was about to rush out of the security checkpoint, but Qin Zixin reached out and caught her in time.

Fortunately, the pain this time was severe, but short-lived. She managed to take two deep breaths, and the pain had eased.

Qin Zixin's voice was weak, "Mommy is fine... Please help mommy go over there and take a rest."

"But Mommy, you look so uncomfortable..." Qin Ziqian held her mother tightly.

She feels so uncomfortable...

In the past few days, her heart pain had become more and more frequent.

Especially since last night to today, it has happened twice, which seems to mean... her physical condition does not seem to be as good as she thought.

After sitting down and resting for a minute, the pain gradually subsided. Qin Zixin was about to comfort her daughter when she realized that her daughter was making a call on her mobile phone.

"Qianqian, who are you calling?"

"Daddy!"

What?

Qin Zixin's face was paler than before. When she wanted to snatch Qian Qian's phone, the call was already connected.

Ji Lingtian on the other end obviously didn't know that the caller was Qian Qian, his voice was cold, "What's the matter?"

Qian Qian was so anxious that she didn't notice her father's tone. She nervously said to him, "Daddy, Mommy is not feeling well. She almost fainted just now..."

"Really? Give your phone to your mommy."

Qin Ziqian hurriedly handed the phone to Qin Zixin.

Qin Zixin put the phone to her ear helplessly, "Huh?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked.

"It's okay, you know..." Fortunately, something similar happened last night and she now had a reason to stall him.

"If you really feel uncomfortable, just change to the next plane!"

"No... uh, I'm going to get on the plane, that's it!" Qin Zixin hurriedly hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

Qian Qian looked at her mother without blinking, "Mommy..."

Unavoidable Qin Ziqian asked more questions, Qin Zixin hurriedly pulled her daughter towards the boarding gate, "Mommy is fine, let's go, we are the only ones not boarding the plane."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Humans invented the airplane, which is a really good means of transportation. It can make two people who were close to each other in the same room last night become thousands of miles apart in an instant.

The day after Qin Zixin returned to Y City, Gu Yuchen called her.

Qin Zixin had no intention of seeing Gu Yuchen again, and returning to City Y was just a good reason, but she never expected that Gu Yuchen actually flew to City Y from New York.

…

From a distance, Gu Yuchen waved to her.

Qin Zixin glanced around the most exclusive French restaurant in City Y, took a breath, and then walked towards Gu Yuchen.

Gu Yuchen chose a seat by the window. He had a good view and could see the bustling streets under the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Qin Zixin sat down opposite Gu Yuchen, frowning slightly.

Gu Yuchen asked with a smile, "Do you mind if I have already ordered for you?"

"Imperial minister, I'm not here to have dinner with you today..."

"I know, I have been in Y City for so many days, but you still refused to come out until today."

Qin Zixin spat out guiltily, "If I have done anything to misunderstand you before, I am sorry to you, but I..."

"It's really impossible for you and me to develop, right?" Gu Yuchen leaned back on his chair and looked at her with a lazy smile on his lips.

Qin Zixin nodded.

Gu Yuchen smiled softly, "Don't think too much, I asked you out, you just need to treat it as a friendship between us."

"But I..."

"I should say 'I'm sorry' to you. Didn't I scare you last time?"

Qin Zixin glanced at the smiling Gu Yuchen, and finally smiled slightly, "I'm really scared by you... But looking at your appearance now, it seems you were joking with me last time."
