The door to the study room was open, and Ji Lingtian was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to her.
The light in the study room was slightly dim, which made his majestic back look inexplicably cold.
Qin Zixin closed the study door and looked at his back, "Are you looking for me?"
Ji Lingtian's voice was slightly cold, "Where did you go today?"
"Gu Yuchen invited me to dinner and went out."
Since she talked to Ren Qingle last month, her and his worlds have become quiet. They have returned to the peaceful days they had before.
When they are in front of Qian Qian, they show off their love in a tacit understanding, and when they are behind Qian Qian's back, they return to being two people who respect each other like "ice".
He is still the same as before...
She will take care of his food and clothing, and live and move as he pleases.
What she has to do is to cooperate with him as much as possible when he is at home. As long as he is not at home, she is a free person. Therefore, she can go out to eat with Gu Yuchen today.
Of course, she knew that he wouldn't care, just like she didn't care whether he would spend the night at Ren Qingle's place again tonight.
Ji Lingtian Wuwen's voice was low, "You and Gu Yuchen seem to be getting closer and closer."
"You can rest assured that wherever he and I go, we will pay attention to whether there are reporters. I will never let reporters take photos that question whether our marriage is broken down."
"very good."
Ji Lingtian turned around, and his dark eyes seemed to fall on her inadvertently. "You won't wait for us to get divorced, and you will get married again, right?"
Qin Zixin shrugged, "Gu Yuchen and I haven't developed that fast yet, but no one can predict what will happen in the future."
"Let me ask you a question."
"you say."
Ji Lingtian glanced at the position opposite him and said, "Come over here."
Not understanding Ji Lingtian's intention, Qin Zixin hesitated for a second, then slowly walked to him.
He was very tall, about 1.85 meters tall, while her height only reached his shoulders.
"What did m threaten you with to cooperate with her?"
When she heard his question, her body trembled slightly.
She had never thought that this was the question he asked her.
For eleven years, she had been waiting for him to ask this question and explain it to him, but he never asked her and was unwilling to listen to her explanation.
Until today…
When she had completely given up on the past, he suddenly came to ask her.
She could never figure out what he was thinking.
However, no matter what, she owed him an explanation.
"I thought you knew."
He knew it, but he wanted to hear her explain it to him personally.
Seeing his silence, she said slowly, "I have been working all those years because I want to make money to cure my mommy's disease. As for what my mommy's disease is, you should know very well. However, at that time,
You don't know about my mommy's illness, and I have no intention of telling you, because I have been disliked by others since I was a child, and I am very afraid that you will care about my life experience... And just when our relationship was at its best, there was
One day, I received a call. The call was from one of M's men. The man said that he had kidnapped my mother... The man said that he didn't want money, as long as I did something for him, it would be done.
After that, he not only allowed my mom to appear in front of me safe and sound, but he also gave me a sum of money to cure her."
"M want you to betray me?"
Qin Zixin looked up into his deep eyes and nodded.
"When faced with this problem, why don't you ask me for help?"
"Because I had no choice at all at that time. They said that as long as I dared to ask you for help, they would kill my mommy without hesitation... You can never imagine when I heard that man hurt my mommy with a gun.
I was so panicked and frightened at that time.”
"So, you used your seventeen-year-old age to accuse me of being 'Yi Jian'?"
Qin Zixin felt strong guilt in her heart, "I don't know how m knew that my age was seventeen... I had no choice."
Because she entered the society too early and was afraid that she would be too young to work in a company, she used a fake ID card every time she went to the company for an interview.
At that time, when I went to "Lingtian" for an interview, I tried with the mentality that my ID card would pass, but I didn't expect that I would pass.
She was very lucky at the time that even a big company like "Lingtian" could hide it from others...
Later, after getting together with Ji Lingtian, she learned from Ji Lingtian that just a few days after she joined the company, "Lingtian"'s human resources department had already investigated her false identity that did not match her real age, but Ji Lingtian did not fire her because he
I have a crush on her.
She thought her age would be a secret, but she didn't expect that M would actually ask her to take advantage of it...
Qin Zixin shook her head, looking at his emotionless and cold face, she bit her lip lightly and spat out, "I'm sorry, whether you accept it or not, I have to say this to you."
"Qin Zixin, do you know?" Ji Lingtian turned around and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window with distant eyes, "I will prepare for that day..."
When Ji Lingtian said this, he paused and for some reason did not say any more.
Qin Zixin was listening to him very seriously, but suddenly he stopped talking. She didn't quite understand.
"Forget it..." He turned his back to her and waved, "Go and do your work!"
He didn't know why he wanted to hear her personal explanation today. Although he had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, her betrayal had become a fact, which would not change his view of her at all.
She said that he would never understand her predicament at that time...but she would also never understand that for a person who was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and then by the person he loved, that kind of pain is enough to make people reflect.
lifetime.
She should not imagine that she can live a good life just now. He has already gone to hell and will never let her live a free life.
His indifferent voice without any warmth brought her thoughtfully back to reality.
She almost thought about it again...
So what if he asked about what happened back then? His attitude towards her will not change, and there is no need for her to care. She should not waste her remaining days with him anymore...
When Qin Zixin turned around to leave, she suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, I have something else to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Qian Qian's summer vacation is over, and I want to take Qian Qian back to City Y to sign up for school." Finally waiting for this opportunity, she can finally stay away from him openly, because she knows that he will stay in New York for at least a few months for the Tsol project.
.
Ji Lingtian said calmly, "You can let Qianqian study here."
"The courses in New York are completely different from those in China." She found a high-sounding reason.
Ji Lingtian was silent.
Qin Zixin was afraid that Ji Lingtian would not agree, so he quickly added, "Qianqian's grades in China are very good. If she doesn't adapt to studying in New York..."
"Is there any other reason?"
"You will be much freer after I leave... Then you won't have to go home for acting. You can spend the night wherever you want. Just be careful about the media."
Her words inexplicably angered him, but the anger was deep in his heart and did not break out.
"It's okay, I'm tired of sleeping on the sofa."
Qin Zixin smiled slightly, "Then you agree?"
"Pack your things and leave whenever you want..." Ji Lingtian's tone was slightly impatient.
"Then I'll tell mom and Ranran now."
When Qin Zixin turned around, she heard Ji Lingtian's voice again, "Ask Qianqian to call me when you return home."
Qin Zixin smiled and replied, "I will."
--------------------------------------------
Qin Zixin sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Qu Ranran sitting on the bed with concern, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Qu Ranran was in low spirits and put her hand on her lower abdomen, "I don't know why the pregnancy reaction is so great... I feel weak every day, as if I'm sick."
"Is it the same when you were pregnant with Yu'an?"
"It seems to have been like this for a while...it should be fine after three months."
"Well, I didn't have any reaction when I was pregnant. Everything was as usual."
"I'm not as strong as you."
"Hey, this has nothing to do with being strong, this has to do with physical fitness."
"I made you worry."
"My mother and I are not worried because we have been here before. We are just worried about your Guan Hao..."
Qu Ranran chuckled softly, "He is so proud now. He tells everyone he is going to have a daughter, which makes the whole company know about my pregnancy... The key is, I still don't know if it is a daughter!"
Qin Zixin was amused, "It must be."
"I hope so too."
"It's a pity for me, I can't stay here to take care of you, but I have a mother and a servant here..."
"Wait a minute, sister, what do you mean you can't stay here?"
Qin Zixin glanced at Qu Ranran and said, "You forgot, I have been in New York for more than two months... Qian Qian's summer vacation is over, and I want to take Qian Qian back to City Y to sign up for school."
Qu Ranran patted his head and said, "I almost forgot... But, can't Qian Qian stay in New York to study?"
"The courses on both sides are different..."
Qu Ranran pointed out pointedly, "This is not the biggest problem."
Qin Zixin smiled softly, "Okay... the biggest problem is that I want to go back to China and stay for a while."
"To escape from my brother-in-law?"
"Really stop calling him brother-in-law, it makes me feel embarrassed."
"Okay then, call Mr. Ji..."
Qin Zixin nodded with satisfaction, "Actually, I got along pretty well with him during this period, so it doesn't matter if I continue to stay in New York. But think about it, I have no reason to stay in New York, not to mention the relationship with Qian in City Y.
Light studies are more beneficial..."
"But I heard from Guan Hao that the project Mr. Ji takes on may require him to stay in New York for several more months..."
"I know."
"Then if you separate like this, when he comes back to China, you will almost have to..."
Qin Zixin nodded, "Yes, we are getting divorced."
Qu Ranran was stunned, "You actually said it in such a calm tone?"
Qin Zixin smiled lightly at his sister, "Then what tone do you want me to use?"
"You shouldn't... at least know... Oh, it's just... you just can't let it go!"
Qin Zixin smiled and shook his head, "Ranran, I let him go."
Qu Ranran's eyes widened, "Sister..."
Qin Zixin slowly lowered his head and said slowly, "I hope he will live a better life without me."
…
At night, Qin Zixin was packing her luggage in the room.
Qin Ziqian, who was standing aside, watched her mother put clothes into the suitcase one by one. She quickly reached out to block the suitcase, "Mommy, can I stay in New York?"
"no!"
"Why not? Grandma said you can study in New York."
"Courses abroad are different from those in China."
"I will definitely study hard."
"Still not working!!"
Qin Ziqian hugged Qin Zixin's legs and acted coquettishly, "Mommy, please... I don't want to leave New York. I want to stay with grandma here, play with aunt and Yu An, and be with daddy."
Her daughter's coquettish voice made Qin Zixin feel soft.
Finally, Qin Zixin put down the clothes she was folding, pulled Qin Ziqian to sit on her lap, and said softly, "Baby girl, Daddy's company is in City Y, and sooner or later we have to go back to City Y..."
"But we can wait until dad finishes the project and go back together!"
"After all, the one you are most reluctant to part with is your dad, right?"
Qin Ziqian nodded vigorously. "It's so pitiful to leave dad here alone!"
Is he pitiful?
Qin Zixin laughed in her heart.
It's impossible for him at all. In the world of flowers and beauty, surrounded by beautiful women, his life is countless times more carefree than hers.
Of course, she couldn't tell her baby daughter this.
"It still doesn't work, Qianqian, you have to listen to mommy..."
"I don't...I'm going to beg daddy..." Qin Ziqian broke away from her mother.
Before Qin Zixin could stop her daughter, her daughter had already rushed out of the room...
Qin Zixin chased after him, but unexpectedly Qin Ziqian ran into the arms of Ji Lingtian who had just entered the door.
"Daddy!"
Qin Ziqian called out excitedly.
Ji Lingtian stroked his daughter's soft hair, "What's wrong, daughter?"
Qin Ziqian pursed his lips and said, "Mommy said we would go back to New York tomorrow morning..."
Ji Lingtian turned his head and glanced at Qin Zixin.
Qin Zixin explained the reason for such urgency, "Well, tomorrow morning's flight will arrive in City Y in the morning, so I can take Qianqian to school to register immediately."
Ji Lingtian nodded and looked at his daughter lovingly, "Your mommy said it should be tomorrow morning!"
Qin Ziqian hugged Ji Lingtian tightly, "But I don't want to go back to China...Daddy, I want to be with you."
Ji Lingtian gently pulled away from his daughter, squatted down and looked at her at eye level, "Qianqian, daddy will be very busy with work. Even if you are in New York, daddy may not be able to stay with you every day..."
"But then mommy and daddy will be separated!"
As soon as Qin Ziqian said these words, Qin Zixin and Ji Lingtian were slightly startled.
Only then did they realize that this was what their daughter was most worried about...
Ji Lingtian coaxed, "Silly daughter, mom and dad are just separated for a while... Daddy promises you that he will finish his work in New York as soon as possible and go back to accompany you as soon as possible, okay?"
Qin Ziqian's clear eyes overflowed with tears, "Then how many months will you stay in New York?"
Ji Lingtian answered patiently, "Daddy is not sure yet, but he will get it as soon as possible, maybe three or four months."
"Really just three or four months?"
Ji Lingtian laughed, wiped the tears from the corner of his daughter's eyes, and continued to coax, "Maybe it will be shorter, two or three months is enough."
Qin Ziqian was finally convinced by her father. She leaned on his shoulder and choked out, "You must do what you say!"
Ji Lingtian hugged his daughter and chuckled, "When did Daddy ever lie to you?"
Qin Zixin stood aside and watched Ji Lingtian successfully coax her daughter. She couldn't help but have a faint smile on her face, but deep down in her heart, there was some inexplicable sadness.
This sadness may be due to Ji Lingtian's efforts to persuade them to return to Y City, or maybe... she is really leaving him.
Qin Ziqian finally burst into laughter.
Ji Lingtian kissed his daughter lovingly.
Qin Ziqian said obediently, "Mommy, daddy, let's chat... I'll go back to the room to pack my things."
Qin Zixin nodded, "Go!"
Qin Ziqian ran away sensibly.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Qin Zixin was still a little uncomfortable being alone with Ji Lingtian.
ps: Thank you for your enthusiastic speeches, everyone is watching...guess how the plot will develop next? Haha...
