Qin Zixin sat on the bedside with a glass of warm water in her hand.
Qu Ranran sat on the edge of the bed and spat out worriedly, "Are you sure you're really fine?"
Qin Zixin nodded and took a sip of water.
Qu Ranran sighed lightly, "I'm starting to wonder if my efforts to bring you and Mr. Ji together are right?"
Qin Zixin put the cup on the bedside table, stretched out his hand to hold Qu Ranran's slightly cold hand, and said seriously, "Ranran, don't worry about my affairs anymore... You and Guan Hao have worked hard to get where they are today. I'd rather
What I want to see is that you can enjoy your current life without any worries."
"But I'm worried about you..."
Qin Zixin smiled and shook his head, "Have you forgotten? I have been here like this for so many years."
Qu Ranran's voice was choked with sobs, "When I saw you getting out of Guan Hao's car lifelessly, I was really scared..."
"Fool, what are you afraid of?"
Qu Ranran reached out and hugged Qin Zixin, her tone became hoarse, "I'm afraid I'll lose you, sister..."
Qin Zixin smiled softly, "What a silly girl...how could you lose me?"
"I don't know... I just have a very uneasy feeling. Every time I see you in pain, the uneasy feeling will be stronger."
Qin Zixin wanted to hug Qu Ranran, "Silly girl... aren't I a good person?"
Qu Ranran stared at the faint smile on Qin Zixin's face with wide eyes, and there was a faint moistness in her eyes, "I feel so sad..."
Qin Zixin reached out and gently wiped away the faint glimmer of water from the corners of Qu Ranran's eyes, "If you dare to cry in front of me, I will be scolded by Guan Hao again."
Qu Ranran was amused by Qin Zixin's words, sniffed and nodded, "Okay... tell me, what are you going to do next?"
"What to do?"
"Mr. Ji always hurts you so unscrupulously, should we let him go?"
Qin Zixin looked at her sister calmly, "Ranran, remember, everything has two sides. You are angry on my behalf because you think about things from my perspective, but you can't ignore me.
I did do something to hurt Ji Lingtian, which is why he hates me so much now."
"But he knows that all that was done by m..."
"You know, for a person who has never felt safe, it is extremely difficult to trust someone, and what I betrayed was his trust."
"So, you have been making it up to him..."
Qin Zixin nodded, "Over the years...as long as he wants me to do it, I will do it. I just hope that my compensation can make him feel better."
"But the facts prove that he will never accept your love."
"But I don't owe him any more, especially now that I know he..." At this point, Qin Zixin's voice paused.
"What do you know?" Qu Ranran asked.
After she knew the fact that he never cared about her from beginning to end. He hurt her just because she was stained with failure in a life where he had never lost. What he felt was his
Dignity, not his heart.
Of course, she didn't want his heart to suffer...
In fact, if he hadn't cared about her back then, she wouldn't have had to bear the intense self-blame and guilt for hurting his feelings in the past...
Therefore, what she did for him in the past was enough.
"It's nothing... Anyway, don't worry about me. I've survived these years. Is there still half a year left?"
Qu Ranran frowned worriedly, "But if Qianqian knew..."
Qin Zixin immediately interrupted Qu Ranran, "She won't know. At least, until her observation period has passed, Ji Lingtian and I will continue to maintain the tacit understanding we have now."
"I shouldn't have watched you marry Mr. Ji." Qu Ranran blamed herself. It wasn't until today that she discovered that maybe her choice to match her sister and Mr. Ji was really wrong, because - not everything
A happy ending is always the best ending. If her sister's ultimate happiness needs to be exchanged for her current devastation, then she would rather her sister find an ordinary person and live the rest of her life comfortably, although she may not
Love that person, but at least her heart is intact.
Qin Zixin slowly pulled away from Qu Ranran and shook his head, "Ranran, actually it doesn't matter to me whether we get married or not..."
"Marriage is the biggest event in a woman's life."
"But for a life already..."
"Already what?"
Qin Zixin's throat choked, and then she smiled and said, "I just feel that life has long lost its original meaning to me..."
Qu Ranran said righteously, "I don't allow you to have such negative thoughts!!"
Qin Zixin still smiled lightly, "Okay, if I were really a negative person, I would probably have left this world long ago..."
Qu Ranran nodded sadly, "I know, sister, your strength is something I will never be able to achieve."
Qin Zixin held Qu Ranran's petite face, "So... dear sister, can you help me bring over the red tube top dress I tried on this morning?"
"You want to change into a dress?"
Qin Zixin nodded matter-of-factly, "Ji Lingtian is still waiting for me to accompany him to the much-anticipated celebration banquet."
"If it were me, I would let him go."
"I want to, but are you sure that I want to break the tacit understanding that he and I live in peace and make it impossible for my baby girl to spend the next five months safely during the observation period?"
Qu Ranran pursed her lips and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll help you get it..."

－－－－－－
The tsol project is the most eye-catching commercial project in New York in the second half of the year...
Therefore, the people who came to the dinner included not only New York City's political and business celebrities, but also many internationally renowned figures. They all looked forward to meeting Ji Lingtian, the president of the "Lingtian" Group, who has precise business vision and superb business acumen at the dinner.
.
You know, people still have many questions about Ji Lingtian that they want to answer with him... For example, between him and Guan Hao, who has a higher IQ?
…
"Mr. Ji, are you sure you don't want to call Madam?"
When the bodyguard opened the car door for Ji Lingtian, the driver stood aside and said.
Ji Lingtian got out of the car with his suit buttons buttoned, glanced at the dazzling yellow lights of the five-star hotel, and said lightly with his thin lips, "No need."
"But today's occasion..."
Before the driver finished speaking, Ji Lingtian already had a smile on his lips and walked towards the reporters who were already waiting in front of the hotel door.
When Ji Lingtian walked into the hotel door, the reporters had already surrounded him...
…
Most of the reporters' questions were about the future process and development of the tsol project, but there were also some sensitive or ignorant reporters who asked, "Mr. Ji, why didn't you see your lady? On such an important occasion, Mr. Ji
Shouldn't Madam be by your side to share this joy with you?"
Because of one reporter's question, other reporters began to focus on this topic.
Gradually, all the topics no longer revolved around the tsol project, but instead all centered around the fact that Ji Lingtian did not bring his wife to such a grand dinner tonight.
Fortunately, Ji Lingtian was surrounded by bodyguards, so those reporters who wanted to dig out some exclusive news from Ji Lingtian could only stand two meters away from Ji Lingtian and stared at Ji Lingtian without doing anything.
He answered and walked into the dinner party calmly.
"Mr. Ji, we are waiting for you."
"Congratulations, Mr. Ji, only a big company like 'Lingtian' can win the Tsol project..."
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
Sure enough, Ji Lingtian became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as he entered the dinner party.
Everyone surrounded him with compliments, and he calmly used his superb communicative skills.
"Mr. Ji, on behalf of the New York government, I would like to propose a toast to you..."
A gentle male voice came.
While Ji Lingtian was smiling and socializing, he saw Gu Yuchen standing not far away and toasting with him. He immediately said sorry to the compliments in front of him, and then came to Gu Yuchen.
"I should have stepped forward to congratulate Mr. Ji in person. Please come over, Mr. Ji, I really think highly of Gu... I'd like to toast to Mr. Ji."
Ji Lingtian clinked glasses with Gu Yuchen, but did not drink in a hurry. Instead, he curled up his lips and spat out with a faint smile, "'Lingtian' was able to win the Tsol project, thanks to Director Gu's public support...
…It’s time for me to toast you.”
"Thank you. If Mr. Ji doesn't mind, this can be regarded as my wedding gift to you and Zi Xin."
Ji Lingtian looked at Gu Yuchen who looked at him with complex eyes after taking a sip of wine. He gradually narrowed his eyes into a straight line and said in a deep voice, "Director Gu, every time you mention my wife in front of me, don't you think
Will I be jealous?"
Gu Yuchen also narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was cooler than usual, "Is this why you don't want to bring Zi Xin to the dinner? Are you afraid that she will meet me?"
Ji Lingtian suddenly laughed heartily.
Gu Yuchen couldn't distinguish Ji Lingtian's smile.
After Ji Lingtian laughed, he said with a smile, "Director Gu, you are overthinking it. Zi Xin has always told me that she and you have been good friends for many years, so why should I worry about her meeting you?"
Gu Yuchen's eyes became strange, "Oh, can you explain why your lady is not by your side on such an important occasion?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji, my wife also said that she wants to get to know Mr. Ji's wife... Why didn't Mr. Ji's wife attend the banquet with you?"
The conversation between Ji Lingtian and Gu Yuchen was interrupted by a New York government official.
Facing the questions from outsiders, Ji Lingtian just pursed his lips and smiled.
The government official said, "Mr. Ji, this is your fault... The outside world says that Mr. Ji's wife is breathtakingly beautiful. Could it be that Mr. Ji wants to hide her beauty in a golden house and just want to stay at home and enjoy it alone?"
Ji Lingtian said in a very natural tone, "Actually, my wife is just not feeling well."
"Not feeling well? What Mr. Ji means is..."
It was obviously a question from a government official, but Ji Lingtian looked at Gu Yuchen. He said in a light voice, "I'm not sure yet... I'm still waiting for her to tell me the good news tonight."
When Ji Lingtian said this, the wives of government officials immediately said "Oh" to each other, "So Mrs. Ji has a baby..."
What? Gu Yuchen was startled.
Government officials immediately congratulated, "Congratulations to Mr. Ji, congratulations... This is really a double blessing."
The congratulations of government officials immediately attracted other guests around. Ji Lingtian was immediately immersed in the congratulations, and Ji Lingtian accepted it happily.
At this moment, except for a few guests who congratulated Ji Lingtian, the surrounding crowd suddenly became quiet...
Ji Lingtian was sensitively aware of the movements around him. After hearing the exclamations all around him, he frowned and raised his gaze, and unexpectedly saw Qin Zixin standing at the door of the dinner party.
Her beauty attracted everyone's attention.
Beautiful and exquisite facial features, impeccable figure, paired with a red tube top floor-length dress, a pair of black elegant high heels, and a pearl-encrusted handbag that symbolizes nobility...
Her charm, elegance, beauty, and calmness, all of which are revealed in her bones, cannot be imitated or matched by any well-groomed woman present.
And in Ji Lingtian's eyes, she was also very different from before.
Tonight, her usually black and shiny hair was neatly combed back, forming a perfect and beautiful simple bun that also showed off her beautiful collarbone, and underneath the bun was her beautiful unobstructed back.
, that soft female back curve is enough to drive every man present crazy...
Qin Zixin looked at Ji Lingtian, and the two of them met each other's eyes inadvertently.
The next second, an elegant smile appeared on Qin Zixin's face, and she walked slowly towards Ji Lingtian.
At the scene, everyone's focus was on Qin Zixin...
"husband."
The affectionate name Qin Zixin uttered when she held Ji Lingtian's arm instantly brought all the men present from fantasy back to reality.
Ji Lingtian's ability to "not be surprised by changes" is unmatched by anyone.
He kissed Qin Zixin's beautiful and smooth forehead and said softly, "Baby, why didn't you tell me when you came?"
At this second, Qin Zixin whispered in Ji Lingtian's ear, "I will not break the tacit understanding between us... Therefore, I will not not come to this banquet."
After hearing this, Ji Lingtian put his head next to Qin Zixin's lightly scented ear and whispered, "I'm glad you can come... because they are still waiting for you to answer the next questions."
"What?"
Before Qin Zixin understood what Ji Lingtian said, the wife of a government official couldn't wait to introduce herself, "Mrs. Ji, hello, I am..."
"Hello."
Qin Zixin looked calm and natural, and it was impossible to tell that she was acting.
After introducing herself, the wife of a government official said with concern, "Mr. Ji said you are not feeling well, why don't you stay at home and have a good rest?"
"Are you... not feeling well?" Qin Zixin didn't react for a moment and glanced blankly at Ji Lingtian beside him.
Ji Lingtian had no intention of helping Qin Zixin. Instead, he asked in a slightly nervous tone, "Tell me, is it good news?"
What good news?
Qin Zixin went crazy in her heart and glared hard at the bad man in front of her who had put her in trouble.
fortunately……
"Mr. Ji said that you are not feeling well because of your pregnancy... You should have a good rest at home." The person who spoke was Gu Yuchen, his eyes full of concern for Qin Zixin.
"Embrace..."
Qin Zixin's mouth opened wide, and there was no way to escape the last word.
"You are so excited, it seems like there is good news..." Ji Lingtian put his arms around Qin Zixin's slender waist at this moment, and pecked her lips lovingly, "I should stay at home with you."
…
The news of Qin Zixin's pregnancy spread like wildfire at the dinner venue, and soon reached the reporters who were blocked outside the dinner venue.
And in the following time, all the guests who were supposed to celebrate Ji Lingtian's winning of the Tsol project actually changed their words of celebration to celebrate his upcoming promotion to "father"...
What's terrible is that Qin Zixin still looks shy and has to accept Ji Lingtian's "pampering" kisses from time to time...
…
After the dinner, Qin Zixin and Ji Lingtian left together.
As soon as he got into the car, before the driver started the car, Qin Zixin was already ashamed and angry and yelled at Ji Lingtian in the car, "Are you crazy?"
ps: Sorry for the late update. Dear friends, you have to get used to this update time first, otherwise Bingbing will have to stay up late again...
