Epilogue Ji Lingtian invites her to be his female companion
After the doctor confirmed that he might only have one year left to live, Qin Zixin walked down the street in despair.
Her tears never stopped. She cried and walked away, but she never sobbed.
There were many people looking at her around the street, and some even came up to ask her if she needed help, but she shook her head and refused.
Finally, she sat on a long wooden chair on the street and looked at the whole world vaguely.
Gradually, the tears stopped, and finally, she threw the inspection report into the trash can nearby, then got up and hailed a taxi.
…
As soon as Qin Zixin returned home, she met Qu Ranran coming down from upstairs.
"Sister, where were you this morning? I couldn't find you anywhere."
"Oh, I went to the city."
"Is something wrong?"
"No, I went to New York to visit a friend."
"oh."
"What's wrong with you?"
Qu Ranran's face became angry, "Humph, I hate Guan Hao so much!!"
Qin Zixin smiled softly, "What's wrong?"
Qu Ranran took Qin Zixin's hand and sat on the sofa. She flattened her mouth and spat out angrily, "It's not Tong Qianxin... you know? When Guan Hao was taking a shower last night, I was bored and took his
While playing on his mobile phone, who would have known that he would see a text message from Tong Qianxin... In the text message, she called him 'Hao'. Although she was talking about business, this intimate title was not the name a subordinate calls his boss. I
I think there is something wrong with this Tong Qian’s heart.”
"Women's intuition is generally very accurate. Listening to what you said, I also feel that Tong Qianxin may be really not a simple person."
"But Guan Hao just doesn't want to tell me who Tong Qianxin is, even though I have realized that the relationship between them cannot be just that of a superior and a subordinate."
"What do you want to do?"
Qu Ranran spat out angrily, "I kicked someone out of the room last night."
Qin Zixin pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems you haven't told him the good news yet."
Qu Ranran snorted, "If he doesn't explain to me who Tong Qianxin is, he will never enter my room again."
"Okay, the person to explain is already here."
Standing up with a smile, Qin Zixin looked at Guan Hao, who had approached them at some point.
Seeing Guan Hao, Qu Ranran turned his head to the side angrily.
Qin Zixin nodded to Guan Hao as a greeting, and then silently retreated, knowing that this was just a sweet friction between the young couple.
…
After asking the servant and learning that Qian Qian and Guan's mother were together, Qin Zixin returned to the room alone.
When he returned to the room, he saw that the bed was empty and Ji Lingtian had already gotten up. Qin Zixin breathed a sigh of relief and leaned tiredly on the door panel.
My eyes are still a little dry, but my mind keeps repeating what the doctor said...
Knock, knock.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
Hastily wiping away the faint tears from the corners of her eyes, she turned around and opened the door.
The person coming is Ji Lingtian.
She never thought that tears would gather in her eyes so quickly the moment she saw him.
Ji Lingtian didn't seem to expect that he would see her crying without any warning.
In his memory, she rarely shed tears. In his memory, she only shed tears because of worry when Qian Qian was going to have surgery. He almost never saw her cry again.
Qin Zixin, who never allowed herself to be weak, could not control herself at this moment.
Tears were like floods from a broken embankment, constantly overflowing from her eyes.
She held the door tightly with her hands, trying hard to suppress the emotions in her heart, but her tears were still so disobedient.
Such Qin Zixin made Ji Lingtian a little overwhelmed.
He never thought that one day she would look at her with tears on her face...and his heart would actually tremble.
After finally realizing that she had no reason to cry in front of him, Qin Zixin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheeks in a panic, opened the door, and let him in.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ji Lingtian asked casually.
Qin Zixin walked all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the scenery outside the glass curtain, and then calmly replied, "I'm fine."
Ji Lingtian came up behind Qin Zixin and said, "You don't look like you're okay."
"I just think of my mommy."
"Oh, are you still qualified to think of her?" Ji Lingtian's voice suddenly became sarcastic.
Qin Zixin's shoulders trembled suddenly.
Ji Lingtian smiled sarcastically, "How does a person who indirectly killed his mother have the right to think of his mother?"
"If you want to go into the room and get whatever you want, get it quickly. After you get it, get out. I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay, I have something to discuss with you."
"you say."
"There is a jewelry auction tomorrow night, and I need you to be my female companion."
Qin Zixin turned around and looked at Ji Lingtian with a frown, "Did I hear you right? You want me to be your female companion?"
"Tomorrow's jewelry auction in New York, Allender will also come. You know Allender is the latest international business director to succeed Robinson. The new project in New York requires me to say hello to him... Damn it
This auction is a ladies night, so I need to bring a companion to attend, and we have a sensitive and lovely daughter who loves to watch the news. I don’t want our baby daughter to see in the newspaper the day after tomorrow that I attended the banquet with another female companion.
And not happy."
"Okay, prepare your dress and I will accompany you tomorrow."
"Very good, you won't be alone, Guan Hao will also attend with Ran Ran."
Qin Zixin nodded lightly, "I have no objection."
Ji Lingtian then turned and left.
Qin Zixin calmly watched Ji Lingtian's leaving figure. Suddenly, just as he was about to step out of the threshold, she couldn't help but call him.
"Wait a minute, Ling...Ji Lingtian."
Even Qin Zixin was shocked that she still called him the same name as before.
Fortunately, she didn't make a fool of herself.
Ji Lingtian turned around and looked at her calmly.
Qin Zixin hesitated for a second, then slowly walked to Ji Lingtian. After taking a deep breath, she whispered, "Can I ask you a question?"
Ji Lingtian's tone was slightly impatient, "Say."
Qin Zixin lowered his head and spoke slowly, "If Guan Hao hadn't found a way to keep me alive six years ago, would you have watched me die?"
"It turns out you are alive and well."
"I mean what if..."
For the first time in so many years, Qin Zixin raised her eyes and looked into Ji Lingtian's dark eyes. She asked seriously, "Will you just watch me die?"
He chose to be cruel to her.
"That's right."
Qin Zixin took a deep breath to suppress the pain in her heart, and nodded to herself, but her eyes stung from his answer.
Lowering her head, not wanting him to see her fragile look, she continued, "What if it is now? Now that I have a heart problem, you still choose to watch me die, right?"
Ji Lingtian once again chose cruelty.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at her pale face, and smiled slightly, "For so many years, every time I do things for m, I have the idea of cutting you into pieces... What do you think I will choose?"
Qin Zixin bit her whitened lips tightly, turned her head to the side as if forbearing, and nodded again after a few seconds, "Thank you for telling me your answer."
Ji Lingtian quickly grabbed Qin Zixin's thin shoulders, straightened her body to face him, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't ask me these boring questions again, because I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it..."
You should know that I never hit a woman."
"I won't ask...I won't ask you again in the future." Never again...
Ji Lingtian nodded, pushed Qin Zixin away mercilessly, and walked out of the room.
Qin Zixin sat paralyzed on the edge of the bed, mist quickly covered her eyes, but she did not allow tears to fall from her eyes...
Finally, he smiled sadly.
…
"Mommy!!"
Qian Qian, who was playing with her younger brother in the garden, saw her mother coming and immediately ran over happily.
Qin Zixin stretched out his arms to hug his daughter and scolded her softly, "Look at you, at such an old age, why are you still acting like a child and sweating profusely from playing." As he spoke, he gently wiped the sweat from her daughter's forehead.
"Mommy, I won't be twelve years old in two months. To be precise, I'm still a child."
Qin Zixin chuckled, "I don't know who you look like, you are so sharp-tongued."
Qin Ziqian pulled his mother to sit down on a wicker chair in the garden, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "Mommy, I feel that I am very happy now. With you and daddy taking care of me, I am the happiest person in the world."
Happy child.”
"Qianqian, do you remember what mommy said to you the most?"
Qin Ziqian nodded, "Remember, Mommy, you told me that I must learn to be strong and never be knocked down by difficulties."
"Well, you are so good. Even if mommy is not with you, you should encourage yourself like this in the future."
Qin Ziqian tilted his head and asked, "Why isn't Mommy by my side?"
Qin Zixin replied with a smile, "People are born, old, sick and die. Mommy will leave you one day..."
Qin Ziqian reached out and held Qin Zixin's arm, "I want to grow old together with mommy and daddy."
"Um."
ps: I will attend the banquet next time, it will be wonderful.
