Ji Lingtian looked down at the silver buttons on his cuffs nonchalantly, "I have to find a reasonable excuse for my wife's absence."
Qin Zixin spat out angrily, "Then you don't have to come up with such...such a ridiculous excuse."
Ji Lingtian's narrow black eyes narrowed into a thin line, and there was a faint teasing smile on Jun Si's face, "For a newly married couple, how can 'pregnancy' be such a ridiculous excuse?"
"You..." Qin Zixin clenched her fists, leaned slumped on the chair, and gritted her teeth, "Please think about how to explain to Qianqian later!!"
"Sorry, I didn't think about explaining." Ji Lingtian looked ahead calmly, "Drive."
The driver started the engine and the car drove slowly on the road.
Qin Zixin stared at Ji Lingtian's calm and handsome face, and said in disbelief, "You don't think this is just a small problem, do you? If Qianqian comes to ask me, I..."
Ji Lingtian turned to look at Qin Zixin, with a wicked smile on his lips, "Then you'd better come up with a reasonable explanation as soon as possible."
He dumped all the troubles he had caused on her, acting as if it was none of his business.
Qin Zixin spat out frantically, "Where can I go to explain!!"
Ji Lingtian suddenly looked at Qin Zixin seriously, "Then there is only one way..."
Qin Zixin asked anxiously, "What can I do?"
The corners of Ji Lingtian's pretty mouth rose to an evil arc, and he spat out gently and gently, "Please beg me..."
Qin Zixin frowned, "What can I ask you for?"
"Please let me reluctantly sleep with you for one night... That way, the problem should not be big." Ji Lingtian said with a hearty smile.
Facing Ji Lingtian's hateful smile, Qin Zixin was so angry that her teeth itched. She grabbed the leather seat with all her strength, wishing that the seat could be used as someone to vent her anger on.
The vibrating sound of the mobile phone interrupted the tense atmosphere in front of me.
Ji Lingtian picked up the phone with a smile, glanced at the name jumping on the phone, and pressed the answer button.
Qin Zixin looked at him indignantly, and suddenly heard a pleasant female voice faintly coming from the mobile phone that was close to his ear, and her angry gaze gradually weakened.
Sitting next to him in the quiet carriage, she could vaguely hear their conversation, and the sentence she heard most clearly was that Ren Qingle asked him - when will you come over tonight?
At that moment, inexplicably, her heart felt so blocked that she turned her head and looked out the car window.
She couldn't remember what he said to Ren Qingle afterwards. She only knew that her head was in a roaring state at that moment.
"parking."
She didn't come back to her senses until Ji Lingtian ordered the driver after ending the call.
The driver obeyed Ji Lingtian's order and parked the car on the side of the road.
Qin Zixin looked at Ji Lingtian in confusion, why did he stop the car?
Ji Lingtian glanced at Qin Zixin and said, "Get out of the car."
What?
Qin Zixin thought he heard wrongly.
Ji Lingtian repeated, "I'll let you get off the car."
Qin Zixin frowned, "It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and it's not easy to get a taxi in this place. Will you let me get off now?"
"yes."
Qin Zixin ignored Ji Lingtian's command and spat out angrily, "I won't go down... I wore 12-inch high heels for your banquet. There is no way I can walk to the next corner to take a taxi."
"You don't need to take a taxi, I will send someone to pick you up... Now you just need to get off the car and wait for a few minutes."
Are you so impatient to see your lover? Qin Zixin almost blurted out these words, but in the end, she chose silence and slowly calmed down the discomfort gathering in her chest.
With one last look at Ji Lingtian, Qin Zixin opened the car door and stepped out of the car holding up the skirt of her dress.
Ji Lingtian didn't even look at Qin Zixin and ordered the driver, "Drive."
Qin Zixin, who was standing outside the car, looked through the dark glass window at the clear outline of Ji Lingtian inside, and silently turned her head away.
The next second, the car left her quiet world...
She looked at the car shadow that was getting further and further away, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The pain caused her to bend down slightly. She held her chest and took several deep breaths to ease the pain.
He finally didn't lie to her, and within a few minutes, a car stopped in front of her.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for her respectfully.
Except for a few servants on night shift, everyone in Guanzhai has gone to bed.
Before she went back to her room, she came to Qian Qian's room.
The little girl has fallen asleep, still holding the rogue rabbit she gave her in her arms.
Qin Zixin sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at her daughter who was sleeping soundly.
Seeing her daughter's arms exposed outside the quilt, she gently put her daughter's hand into the quilt, lowered her head and kissed her daughter's beautiful forehead.
Guan Hao once asked her if she regretted giving birth to Qian Qian...
She replied to Guan Hao at that time that she had no regrets.
But if Guan Hao asks her again today, she will definitely answer him and regret it.
Because the obsession I once had was simply not worth it.
He never cared about her at all, but she brought Qian Qian into this world with her thoughts about him... But she didn't know until today that she was wrong.
Qian Qian should not have grown up in a dysfunctional family like her, nor should she have suffered from illness, or even lost her mother...
"sorry……"
Qin Zixin shook her head vigorously and said to her daughter with sobs.
Qian Qian snorted in her sleep.
Qin Zixin was afraid of waking her daughter, so she immediately covered her mouth with her hands and let silent tears fall from her eyes.
…
After returning to the room, Qin Zixin took off her expensive tube top dress and put on her pajamas and sat quietly on the edge of the bed for a while.
She looked around the huge room.
The place is empty and seems to have no popularity at all.
In fact, her life used to be like this, but in the past, when she was alone and felt lonely and deserted, she would be like this now, either sitting on the edge of the bed or leaning on the bed, quietly
Reminiscing about their past...
Those beautiful moments were still in her mind as if they happened yesterday...
He told her that he would take care of her forever.
He told her not to think he was old.
He also told her that he would let her wear a wedding dress designed by Mirand, the world's most famous wedding dress designer, and hold the wedding with her at the Cathedral of Fiore in Florence, Italy...
That's why when Ranran chose the wedding dress designed by Mirand on that day, she found the most beautiful wedding dress in the wedding dress album... because she had gone through all the wedding dress designs by Mirand a long time ago.
The past was like a surge in her mind. She wanted to forget it, but she couldn't forget it. She didn't understand it until today, because these memories were the best memories left in her life...
…
However, what she thought was beautiful turned out to be unreal...
He and she...never had a beginning.
…
In the bathroom, cold water was poured on her cold body...
She raised her head and let the water slowly slide down her face...
She drowned all her pain and embarrassment in the rain curtain until her heart no longer felt uncomfortable.
After wiping her wet hair and coming out of the bathroom, Qin Zixin couldn't see anything unusual on her face except for the redness in her eyes.
The warm air from the hair dryer made her hair flow down like a waterfall.
After drying her hair, she climbed into bed and prepared to face the sun the next day.
While lying on the bed, I accidentally saw the clock hanging on the wall...
The hour hand has moved towards twelve...
She closed her eyes and seemed to be able to hear the ticking sound of the clock hand.
And just when she was listening to the sound of the clock moving and preparing to fall asleep, there was a "click" at the door.
She opened her eyes quickly.
Accompanied by the man's steady footsteps and his masculine breath, she sat up.
Ji Lingtian threw his suit jacket on the sofa. Seeing that she was not asleep yet, he unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt and said, "It's so late and you're not sleeping yet?"
"You..." What she wanted to ask was, why did he come back? She thought he wouldn't come back tonight.
"What, have you thought about it?"
"Ah? Shall we consider it?"
While Qin Zixin was thinking about the problem vaguely, Ji Lingtian was already sitting on the edge of the bed at some point, leaning over and staring at her, "What do you think?"
Qin Zixin shook his head in confusion.
Ji Lingtian smiled softly, "I thought you waited for me because you had already considered the suggestions I told you during the day."
"suggestion?"
Ji Lingtian kindly reminded, "The solution is to explain to Qianqian."
The next second, Qin Zixin met, her cheeks quickly turned red. She pushed away his bent body in embarrassment, "Pervert!"
Ji Lingtian laughed heartily, then stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Qin Zixin took a pillow and threw it at him. Unfortunately, he had already entered the bathroom. He did not forget to tell her, "Bring me some clean pajamas and come in. You don't want to see me exposed."
"nausea."
His laughter continued to be heard in the bathroom.
After Qin Zixin cursed endlessly, she had to jump out of bed and go to the closet to help him get a clean nightgown.
The bathroom door was unlocked, so she took her nightgown in.
The blurry frosted glass in the shower room vaguely revealed his good figure while bathing...
She blushed a little and hurriedly put down her pajamas and ran out of the bathroom.
Lying back on the bed, Qin Zixin pulled up the quilt to cover herself.
She tried hard to make herself fall asleep, but she tossed and turned and still couldn't get the slightest bit of sleep.
Finally, when Ji Lingtian came out of the bathroom, she had to pretend to be asleep.
It should have been like a normal night, with him sleeping on the sofa and her sleeping on the bed. However, there seemed to be a slight change tonight...
because……
After taking a shower, Ji Lingtian actually lifted the quilt next to her and lay down next to her.
"ah--"
Qin Zixin, who was pretending to be asleep, screamed in panic, pulled the quilt and quickly jumped to the position farthest away from him. "You...what are you doing?"
Ji Lingtian rested his head on his hand, closed his eyes, and replied lightly, "Sleep."
"You go and sleep on the sofa."
"I want it too."
What's the meaning?
Qin Zixin turned to look at the sofa.
Wait, why is the sofa missing?
Qin Zixin looked stunned.
Suddenly, she remembered that Ranran told her that her mother would clean up the room for her in the afternoon...
Could it be...
Mom found out that she and Ji Lingtian slept in separate beds, and then moved the sofa in the room.
God, no wonder the room felt so empty when she walked into it today...
Annoyed, Qin Zixin had to choose to compromise, "Then you can sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep with Qian Qian."
When Qin Zixin got out of bed holding a pillow, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The next second, Qin Zixin was pressed down by a strong and muscular body.
The pillow fell from the bed, and Qin Zixin looked at Ji Lingtian who was currently pressing on her in horror.
Their breathing was so close that her chest heaved violently with tension.
He stared at her, his deep eyes extremely dark.
Qin Zixin put her hands on his chest, her face turned pale, and her nervousness prevented her from uttering the complete words, "You..."
"Why don't you stay away from me?"
"I……"
"Qin Zixin, do you know how many times in my life I have wanted to cut you into pieces?"
His fierce words made her hands tremble with fear.
Anger burst out from his eyes, shooting at her like two sharp swords.
She twisted uncomfortably under him, trying to find a chance to escape.
However, the next moment...
He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard.
His lips were so cold that there was no warmth at all. When he pressed them against hers, it was more like punishing her, biting and sucking her.
She was so painfully kissed by him that she couldn't think, so she could only keep rejecting him...
Finally, he let her go...
Like a frightened rabbit, she quickly jumped out of bed and tried to escape.
However, when she reached out to open the door, her body was suddenly grabbed by someone, and then his arms clasped her delicate body tightly from back to front.
"Let me go..."
She kept pushing her elbows against his strong chest.
He held her tightly as if he didn't feel any pain.
She tried all she could to push, kick, beat, and hit him, but she still couldn't get him away. Finally, she slowly calmed down.
The night is deep and quiet.
She could clearly hear his breathing, which was heavy and suppressed, and his voice was actually mixed with difficulty.
She tried to turn around, but he held her tightly, preventing her from moving for a moment.
She didn't know how long it had passed before a harsh, mocking laugh suddenly penetrated her eardrums, awakening her drowned mind.
She turned her face away in shock, only to see Ji Lingtian's mocking smile towards her.
This smile contains a strong sense of victory.
"You always find it hard to resist me. If I take you to bed and make love to you now, you won't refuse, right?"
The corners of Ji Lingtian's mouth slowly raised, squinting at Qin Zixin with a malicious smile.
That smile is so dazzling, that laughter is so harsh, so harsh...
Qin Zixin used all her strength to push him away. She straightened her body, raised her hand and slapped him hard. "Asshole!!"
Snap——
The claps were particularly loud in the quiet night.
There were clear fingerprints on his handsome face...
Qin Zixin was surprised that he didn't dodge and regretted his impulsiveness, but his contemptuous eyes disgusted her.
"Mommy, why do you hit Daddy?"
Qin Ziqian came to their room at some point, and when she was sleepy and saw her mother slap her father, she actually dropped the rogue rabbit in her hand.
Qin Zixin turned her head sharply, and when she saw Qian Qian, her face quickly turned pale.
"Mommy..." Qin Ziqian's voice began to choke.
Ji Lingtian's indifferent face already had a gentle look when he turned to Qin Ziqian.
Qin Ziqian quickly ran to Ji Lingtian's side, hugged his father tightly, and looked at Qin Zixin with fearful eyes, "Daddy..."
Ji Lingtian pressed Qin Ziqian into his arms and softly comforted him, "It's okay."
Qin Zixin froze on the spot.
