Why should I do whatever you say, but I just don’t want to make trouble with you...
It's okay, Qin Zixin, you are just doing it for your daughter...
Angels and demons exchanged voices in their hearts. Qin Zixin shook his head irritably to get rid of these messy thoughts in his mind, and looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror in annoyance.
…
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Sister, do you have a problem with me?"
The person who came in was Qu Ranran.
Qin Zixin turned around from the mirror holding the dress, and glanced impatiently at the many dresses lying on the bed, "Please help me choose one, I don't know which one to wear."
Qu Ranran picked up one of the beautiful dresses on the bed, examined it, and said, "You have always had better taste than me."
"But you know, this is the first time that he and I have appeared in public as husband and wife." She really didn't know what Mrs. Ji should wear.
Qu Ranran winked at Qin Zixin and said, "Just the red one on your hand, it will definitely make you shine tonight."
"I don't need to be glamorous."
"But Mrs. Ji wants it."
Qin Zixin roared madly in her heart, then sat down on the bed, "Damn it!!"
Qu Ranran lowered her head and leaned over, "Are you scolding Mr. Ji again?"
Qin Zixin endured the frenzy in her heart and nodded, "Okay, just choose this red one, just for Qianqian's sake."
"By the way, didn't you say you had an appointment with friends tonight?"
"Now it looks like it's going to be turned down."
Qu Ranran tilted her head and looked at Qin Zixin, "I am very curious about this man who is supposed to date you tonight and has already taken you in for one night before."
Qin Zixin frowned, "You know?"
Qu Ranran said with a smile, "I saw him driving you back that day."
Qin Zixin nodded, "His name is Gu Yuchen. I haven't seen him for many years, but we only met recently."
"Gu Yuchen?" Qu Ranran narrowed her eyes sensitively, "This name seems..."
"Yes, he is the newly appointed International Business Chairman who succeeded Robinson. I believe Guan Hao has mentioned him to you."
Qu Ranran's eyes widened in astonishment, "Oh my god...sister, you actually know such a young talent?"
"He is the cousin of a good friend of mine. We had a very good relationship when we were young. Later he immigrated abroad... We haven't seen each other for so many years, but when we met again he had already achieved such achievements."
"Why does it sound a little unusual to me? Wait... let me guess, you and he were childhood sweethearts. Does this mean that you and him were once different?"
Qin Zixin answered truthfully, "He and I once had the opportunity to become lovers, but at that time his family was in good condition, and I, who was sick myself, also had a sick mother. In the eyes of others, I
It’s basically trying to reach his family, although he doesn’t mind.”
"So you didn't choose to get together with him?"
"Um."
"What happened next?"
"Later..." Qin Zixin paused when she said this.
Qu Ranran looked at Qin Zixin expectantly.
Qin Zixin raised his gaze and looked into the distance, and answered slowly, "Then he came to see me again, and he happened to see me coming back in Ji Lingtian's car. After that, he never came to see me again... Later I heard that they
The whole family immigrated abroad."
"Sounds like a very sad story."
"I'm glad I didn't delay him..." It's already a miracle that she can survive to this day.
"So, your date with him tonight is..."
"Don't think too much about it, the relationship between him and me is just a reminiscence between friends."
"No wonder you stayed at his place that night."
"It's a trust that I've always had in him."
"I understand."
"Okay, curious kid, I've finished telling him the story... Can I call my friend now and tell him that I can't make the appointment tonight?"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Ji Lingtian finished reading the quotation in his hand and took a sip of whiskey. The melted ice reduced the burning of the wine and slid down his throat, leaving the residual warmth of the barley.
"Have you thought about how to celebrate tonight?"
Ji Lingtian looked at the quotation and did not answer.
Ren Qingle gently held his waist and leaned her face on his shoulder. "I really hope I am the one accompanying you to the banquet tonight."
Ji Lingtian straightened up so that she could no longer lean on him, "This is a public place, you should know."
"I don't mind, what do you mind?" Ren Qingle smiled beautifully, "Besides, our story has been published in the newspapers."
"I said, she is still the mother of my child." Ji Lingtian's eyes dimmed.
"Okay... then, how about spending the night at my place tonight?" Ren Qingle murmured in a low voice, and deliberately touched his earlobe with her lips.
He thought he would accept it happily, but now...
"Not today. It will take a lot of effort to win the Tsol project today. Now I can have a drink with you here, which is already the limit."
The following explanation appeased Ren Qingle's dissatisfied mood. At least it showed that she held a special place in his heart, so he took time out of his busy schedule to see her.
Ren Qingle understands Ji Lingtian's psychology. He likes smart women, especially partners who can compete with him but still maintain their female self-awareness. She is 100% confident in this regard.
"Okay then...contact me when you are free."
Ji Lingtian nodded, "I'll ask the driver to take you home first, let's go!"
He stood up and left the bar with her.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
An announcement is being made in the carriage - y restoration project...
Ji Lingtian's confident mouth raised slightly.
The driver drove out of the business bidding hotel and asked respectfully, "Mr. Ji, are you going to pick up your wife now?"
Ji Lingtian lowered his head and looked at the watch at hand, "Okay."
Although it was still early before the time he expected to pick her up, he didn't know why, but at this time, he actually wanted to see her.
…
Ji Lingtian leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to relax.
Suddenly, the driver called out softly, "Mr. Ji..."
"Um?"
"lady……"
Ji Lingtian slowly opened his eyes, and through the windshield and at the traffic light, a pair of beautiful men and women with matching appearances appeared in his sight.
It's Gu Yuchen and Qin Zixin.
They were waiting for the traffic light and chatting about some pleasant topic.
Ji Lingtian's dark pupils tightened slightly, shooting out sharp eyes that were hard to detect.
"Mr. Ji, do you want to drive over?" the driver asked.
The danger flashed across his eyes, and his tone was light, "No need."
"Then...do you want to go back?"
At this second, Ji Lingtian had already taken out his mobile phone, dialed a series of numbers, and put the mobile phone to his ear.
…
At the same time.
Gu Yuchen and Qin Zixin walked through the traffic light together.
Qin Zixin said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Ruoying is already the mother of two children... In my impression, she has always been like a child who has not grown up."
"Yes, time passes so quickly..."
Facing Gu Yuchen's sigh, Qin Zixin asked quickly, "Yuchen, why are you still single?"
Gu Yuchen paused and stopped in the middle of the traffic light.
Qin Zixin looked at him and suddenly saw something abnormal in his eyes.
And just when Gu Yuchen was about to speak, her cell phone rang.
"Feel sorry……"
Qin Zixin took out her mobile phone. When she saw the number jumping on the screen, she pressed the answer button impatiently, "Hello."
"Where?"
Ji Lingtian's deep male voice was neither sullen nor angry, almost cold.
"I...I'm at home."
"Very good...I'll pick you up now."
"What... wait, didn't you say you would pick me up at seven o'clock?"
"I thought I said before seven o'clock."
"But it's only four o'clock in the afternoon..."
There was a click and the phone hung up.
"Who is this?"
Unable to help but curse, Qin Zixin put down her phone in frustration.
Gu Yuchen asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Zixin pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, imperial minister, you don't have to send me home."
"Did Mr. Ji call?"
Qin Zixin nodded, "He said he would pick me up now... I want to accompany him to the celebration banquet tonight."
Gu Yuchen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I know that Lingtian has won the tsol project."
"I almost forgot, you are the coordinator of this project... So, will you also go to the celebration party tonight?"
"Of course, polite congratulations are the first thing every business director must learn to communicate."
Qin Zixin was amused by Gu Yuchen's words, "Then...see you tonight."
"My car is over there, do you really don't need me to take you back?"
"No, thank you for inviting me to dinner... He will come to pick me up."
"good."
"Bye-Bye."
…
After saying goodbye to Gu Yuchen, Qin Zixin took out her cell phone and anxiously dialed Ji Lingtian's number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Qin Zixin hurriedly spat out, "Hey... where are you now?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'll pick you up when I go home."
"You...you just set off, right?"
"No...I'm almost at the door of my house."
Hearing what Ji Lingtian said, Qin Zixin became completely anxious, "But I'm not at home now!"
"Oh?" Ji Lingtian on the other end of the phone raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Then where are you now?"
"I...I'm..."
"You are in New York City, Queens Boulevard, and you just parted ways with your old sweetheart Gu Yuchen a minute ago."
"You...how did you know?"
"Honey, look in your eleven o'clock direction."
Qin Zixin turned to look in the direction Ji Lingtian pointed on the phone. Even though she was dozens of meters away, she fell into his dark and dangerous eyes like an endless whirlpool with such precision.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Qin Zixin.
Qin Zixin sat in the carriage angrily and glared at someone angrily, "Do you have to play tricks on me like this?"
Ji Lingtian looked at her with a smile on his lips, "You are so aggressive now, but you don't look like a little woman who was caught red-handed by her husband after having an affair behind his back?"
"He and I just went out for a meal... By the way, why should I explain to you?" Qin Zixin glanced at someone with disgust and cast her gaze forward.
I had made an appointment with Gu Yuchen to have dinner together today... mainly because I wanted to talk to Gu Yuchen about Ruoying.
Unfortunately, he told her this morning that he wanted her to accompany him to the banquet, and then she called Gu Yuchen.
After Gu Yuchen received the call, he told her that he had something to do today. After the two discussed it, they changed the date from night to day.
That's why she and Gu Yuchen were together.
"I think I need to remind you that although I am not a globally famous figure, the media in New York are still happy to see my news on the front page... So, I don't want me to be on the front page next time.
The headlines are because of my wife’s misbehavior!!”
"When it comes to misbehavior, Ji Lingtian, I think you should be the first to reflect on yourself!!" Qin Zixin spat out disdainfully, "Please comfort your lover the next time you spend the night with her, don't let her look like a
I find it ridiculous to put bright red lipstick on your dirty shirt like a winner!"
"Qin Zixin!!"
"I'm not afraid of you, Ji Lingtian. If you don't want to live in peace with me, then okay, let's go to Qianqian and make it clear now. I can be regarded by Qianqian as a bad mother who is good at using scheming, but within marriage
You who cheated on me, don’t try to create your great father image in front of Qianqian again!!”
"Qin Zixin!!!" He repeated her name again, indicating that his anger was on the verge of exploding.
"You don't need to drive me out of the car, I'll get down by myself!!"
Putting these words aside, Qin Zixin opened the car door angrily and rushed out of the road.
…
Sitting on a bench by the roadside, Qin Zixin covered her aching chest with one hand and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with one hand.
She sobbed in frustration, but tried her best not to let out any sobs.
Why do you treat her like this?
She doesn't owe him anything anymore...
The one she hates is herself, so why should she feel uncomfortable because he spent the night outside with another woman?
Damn man, she cursed him to spend his next life in hell.
asshole!!
Qin Zixin clutched her chest tightly, wondering why her heart would feel such severe pain every time she fought with Ji Lingtian.
She is really useless. If she could really turn a blind eye to him, maybe her heart wouldn't hurt like this...
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes unbridled, and no matter Qin Zixin wiped them away over and over again, they always filled her clear pupils.
Suddenly, "squeak"——
The sound of braking sounded in her ears.
Qin Zixin wiped away the tears on her face in panic and spat out angrily, "Don't try to see my joke... I will not admit defeat in front of you."
As soon as Qin Zixin finished speaking, a magnetic and deep voice came into his ears, "It's me, Zixin."
Hearing the unexpected voice, Qin Zixin suddenly raised her eyes and saw that the person who got out of the car and stood in front of her was Guan Hao.
Seeing Guan Hao, Qin Zixin's uncontrollable tears fell down again.
Guan Hao helped Qin Zixin up and said gently, "I happened to be passing by...what happened?"
Qin Zixin's beautiful eyes filled with tears looked at Guan Hao, and suddenly, she threw herself into Guan Hao's arms aggrievedly.
Guan Hao hugged her gently.
Qin Zixin leaned on Guan Hao's broad shoulders and cried bitterly, "Guan Hao, I don't owe him... I have already paid back everything I owe him... He asked me to get close to you, and I have no hesitation. He asked me to give everything to him."
I gave him all my money, and I knew he was cheating on me, so I pretended not to know anything... I tried my best to make it up to him, and I gave him all the best things in my life, but I didn't know, like this
How long can I last..."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Night falls.
An expensive black car was parked quietly on a street corner in New York.
The driver glanced at the owner sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror, but did not dare to say a word.
Ji Lingtian leaned back on his chair slumped, completely losing his usual cold, arrogant look.
He thought quietly, feeling lonely as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
The phone vibrated.
He picked up the phone as if powerless, staring at the jumping numbers on the phone screen with his deep black eyes.
While throwing his cell phone aside carelessly, he accidentally answered the call.
Ren Qingle's clear and sweet voice immediately came from the phone, "Congratulations, I know that 'Lingtian' successfully won the Tsol project... I want to help you celebrate. No matter how late it is tonight, I will wait for you to come."
