Epilogue When sadness flows against the river 4000
While Qian Qian was having a party with her classmates in the villa, Qin Zixin was sitting in Ji Lingtian's car.
She asked, "Where are we going?"
He drove the car with a calm expression. "You will know when you get to your destination."
Qin Zixin didn't ask any more questions, leaning back on his chair and looking at the city's neon lights that kept receding.
…
The car stopped in front of a high-end club.
She got out of the car and asked doubtfully, "Where is this? Why did you bring me here?"
"This is a leisure club opened when I am bored."
"ah?"
Ji Lingtian threw the car keys to the parking attendant, "Let's go!"
Qin Zixin stood there hesitantly, "I don't even know what you brought me here for. I won't go in."
Ji Lingtian stared at Qin Zixin with his deep black eyes, "Why are you afraid of what I will do to you?"
Qin Zixin turned away from his gaze and said seriously, "Yes, after all, I have no friendship with you." If she hadn't been together at night for fear of Qianqian calling him suddenly to inquire, she wouldn't have gone out with him.
Ji Lingtian sneered.
Qin Zixin glared at him, "What's so funny? That's what it is."
Ji Lingtian joked, "There is no friendship, we just have a child and a marriage certificate."
Qin Zixin was speechless for a moment.
Ji Lingtian walked towards the club with a smile, "You can come in or not, but if you don't come in, you'd better think of a reason to excuse Qian Qian."
When Qin Zixin heard this, she muttered in annoyance and followed him helplessly.
…
She didn't know how much assets Ji Lingtian had, so she was surprised that Ji Lingtian owned such a high-end club in Y City.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji's wife."
The waiters bowed their heads and greeted me respectfully.
Ji Lingtian nodded politely to them and walked straight to the elevator of the club.
Qin Zixin followed Ji Lingtian into the elevator. Although she didn't know what he was taking her to, she didn't feel uneasy.
The elevator dinged and stopped on the third floor. Before she could react, he had already stretched out his hand and pulled her out of the elevator.
"season……"
Before Qin Zixin could say anything, a hearty laughter from a young man suddenly came to his ears. "Haha, brother, I thought you wouldn't come tonight again."
Qin Zixin raised her eyes and saw that the young man in front of her felt somewhat familiar to her.
The man with extraordinary clothing taste looked at Qin Zixin teasingly, "Sister-in-law, if you look at me like this, you don't recognize me, right?"
The man's voice and teasing tone made Qin Zixin widen her eyes, "Yu Fan?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, you finally recognized me. I was so afraid that you couldn't recognize me, and that would be really embarrassing!"
Qin Zixin laughed dryly and looked at Ji Lingtian beside him.
Ji Lingtian had already put his arms around her waist at some point and looked at her with satisfaction.
Qin Zixin is still a little confused about the situation.
Yu Fan, a financial investor, has been Ji Lingtian's good friend for more than ten years. Because he is younger than Ji Lingtian, he always calls him "big brother."
When she and Ji Lingtian were together in the past, Ji Lingtian introduced her to his friends, so she knew Yu Fan.
Pushing open the box door, Yu Fan walked in first and said to the people inside, "Look who is here..."
Everyone in the box first saw Ji Lingtian, and then saw her next to Ji Lingtian, and they all smiled.
These warm faces opened up the dusty memories in Qin Zixin's mind like a box.
Yes, she knew all these people. They were all very good friends of Ji Lingtian, but they were all single at the time. But today, their significant others were sitting next to them, including them, there were five couples.
Yu Fan hugged his lovely wife who came over and introduced to Qin Zixin, "Sister-in-law, my wife is Zhuo Ruoqing."
Qin Zixin nodded politely, "Hello."
What followed was a few pairs of people exchanging pleasantries that they had not seen for a long time.
Qin Zixin has been sitting next to Ji Lingtian, watching him smoking and chatting with his friends comfortably, as if they were still the same as in the past.
The strange thing is that when they were chatting about their love stories, they all said that they envied Ji Lingtian's love with her, and said that they had known that Ji Lingtian would be trapped by her.
Qin Zixin didn't understand Ji Lingtian's intention of bringing her to meet these friends today, but these friends were also her friends before, so she didn't tell them about her true relationship with Ji Lingtian, because she didn't want to spoil their fun.
Suddenly, Yu Fan's wife asked her, "Sister-in-law, I saw on the news that you are pregnant... I think your figure is still as good as this!"
Qin Zixin smiled awkwardly, "Ha...yeah, no matter how much I eat, I don't get fat." Embarrassed, this news has not faded away yet.
"Ling Tian, I feel that Zi Xin is thinner than before? Have you treated others badly these years?"
Ji Lingtian turned around and looked deeply at Qin Zixin, "How dare I treat her badly? It is she who treated me badly."
Ji Lingtian's seemingly complaining words were full of endearment, making people ignore the content of his words and making Qin Zixin arouse the envy of everyone present.
Next, there were various topics between husband and wife. Ji Lingtian blended in very well, but Qin Zixin really couldn't continue acting. In the end, he had to go out to take a breath in the name of going to the bathroom.
…
After washing his hands and looking at himself in the mirror, Qin Zixin couldn't help but feel dazed.
The box was full of people she had known more than ten years ago. Although she had not seen them again since she had no contact with Ji Lingtian, after so many years, when she saw them still in their prime, she could not help but feel countless emotions in her heart.
.
If she and Ji Lingtian had really come this far, what a wonderful day it would be today!
Knock, knock——
A knock on the door interrupted Qin Zixin's thoughts.
For some reason, Qin Zixin could immediately identify who the knock on the door came from.
She opened the door, and sure enough, the person standing in front of her was Ji Lingtian.
The corridor of the club was very quiet and there were no people around. He said softly, "I used the excuse that you are not feeling well to let you take a rest."
She asked, "Why did you bring me to see them?"
"Because they thought we were together all the time."
She didn't know, and frowned slightly.
He didn't explain any more, turned around and left and said, "You can go to the sixth floor to have a rest. I'll have someone call you when you get back."
-------------------------------
Naturally, Qin Zixin did not return to the box, and was led by the waiter to the room on the sixth floor that Ji Lingtian mentioned.
Naturally, the club will not provide people with rest, so this room is exclusive to Ji Lingtian.
As the boss's room, the grandeur here can be seen.
Qin Zixin went to enjoy the beautiful scenery, only to notice that the clock on the wall showed that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Afraid that Qian Qian would call later to "check on the work", Qin Zixin took out his cell phone first and called Qian Qian while he had time.
Qianqian was very happy on the phone. She could still vaguely hear the sound of the party at home on the phone.
After finishing the phone call with Qian Qian, she sat boredly on the sofa waiting for Ji Lingtian to come back.
She didn't know how long Ji Lingtian would be chatting with her friends. She was a little tired after playing for a day, so she turned sideways and lay down on the sofa.
She was not sleepy, on the contrary, her mind was very confused.
She thought that when a person is about to die, his mind should calm down, but she has countless questions lingering in her mind.
The question that confused her the most was, how could he suddenly "let go" of her?
It was impossible for Gu Yuchen to change his mind after calling him and telling him similar warnings. She knew very well that he was so vengeful, and if he could really be so generous, she would not be able to do it for more than ten years.
There won't be such pain anymore.
So, what was his reason for "letting go" her? When he said "let her go," did he really let her go?
She simply couldn't figure out what he was thinking, just like thirteen years ago, if she hadn't heard it from him personally, she wouldn't have known that he had never cared about her in the past.
Thinking about her life, it is really sad. It seems that the whole world does not welcome her, making her life difficult. Even though she has tried her best to persevere, she still cannot resist...
Anyway, there is nothing in this world that worries her... Ranran is concerned about Hao, Qianqian has him, the person she cares about, she has nothing to worry about.
However, for some reason, she, who was carefree, still felt a faint reluctance when she thought that she was about to leave this world...
But this reluctance also brought pain to her heart.
…
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Ji Ling just finished the party with his friends.
He drank some wine, and when he walked to the car with her in his arms, she could smell the faint smell of alcohol on his body, and she could tell that he had drank a lot tonight, but he always had a good drinking capacity.
After saying goodbye to his friends in the parking lot, he handed her the car keys and then leaned on the chair in the back row, feeling a little drunk.
Qin Zixin drove his car on a quiet road at night, and from time to time he raised his eyes and looked at him sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, as if he was more drunk than she imagined tonight.
She suddenly thought of his conversation with Ren Qingle.
He may return to New York tomorrow morning...
Her body is getting weaker day by day. Today she can still drive him back in the car. Next time, she doesn't know if she can support her body and stand in front of him.
Wait, how can there be a next time?
She once swore to herself that she would never be weak in front of him in her life. She wanted him to remember that she would always be a persevering Qin Zixin.
Therefore, two months later, she will never support her frail body to see him again... She will ask Gu Yuchen to help her deal with the unfinished matters, and then go to the little-known island she found before.
Live this life quietly.
This means that tonight is probably the last night she will see him in her life...
She sometimes wondered if he would occasionally feel a little sad when he learned the news of her death.
Looking at him sleeping in the rearview mirror, her eyes turned red uncontrollably.
She freed up a hand to wipe away the tears that blurred her vision, and suddenly asked, "Are you asleep?"
He vaguely said "Yes" to her.
Out of nowhere, she asked him uncontrollably, "Are you serious about Ren Qingle?"
He still said "Yeah".
It was clear that he was not responding to her consciously, but her weak heart still felt pain.
She suddenly smiled foolishly and said to herself, "Ling Tian, because I know you can't hear what I'm saying now, I dare to say these things to you..."
"I'm really sorry for betraying your trust in me... I've been feeling guilty for this in my life, even though I've done everything I can to make it up to you."
"I know better than anyone how much of a loveless person you are, so even if you later use me, make things difficult for me, and hate me, I will never blame you for a moment, because I am also a loveless person, so I understand you.
My mood... Just because I understand you, I always firmly believe that during the more than a year we were together, you never cared about me as you said... I admit, this is a bit self-consoling, but if this is really the case
The truth is, I would rather be kept in the dark by you for the rest of my life..."
"I really hope you can live well... I hope you can meet a woman you love and understands you and loves you in the second half of your life."
Tears kept blurring her vision, and she kept wiping them away, but they still kept pouring out. Finally, she had to stop the car on the side of the road.
Leaning on the back of the leather chair, she stared blankly at him in the rearview mirror. Suddenly, she bit her hand tightly to prevent sobs from escaping.
