Epilogue Maybe not standing in front of you is the only thing I can give you
Chapter 308
If Qu Ranran hadn't revealed it, Ji Lingtian would never have imagined that Qin Zixin was actually on the Italian island of Lorenzo.
The island of Laurent Arthur is located in a remote location in Italy. It is beautiful, but few people know it. There are no more than a hundred people living on the island. The biggest feature here is tranquility and calmness.
White houses, white beaches, white waves...
There are no cars, no smell of gasoline, no roaring engines, no taxi drivers honking their horns to call you to get in. This is a real-life paradise.
Everything is so comfortable and peaceful.
…
"Mr. Ji, it turns out there is such a peaceful and comfortable place in this world."
On this journey, Ji Lingtian only brought one subordinate, who was also his most capable assistant in handling matters for him.
Ji Lingtian took off his sunglasses and looked up at the entire island.
Coconut trees, sea breeze, white-wave beaches, and island residents wearing simple clothes... If you hadn't been to this place in person, you might have thought you were in a dream.
Such a little-known but extremely beautiful place. If we hadn't deliberately searched for it, I'm afraid no one would know that there is such a beautiful and peaceful place in the world.
She...it turned out that she had planned her own future a long time ago.
What he couldn't deny was that this island was indeed an excellent choice for people to hide in the world. Even though he knew the name of the island from Qu Ranran and confirmed the specific location of the island, it took him several days.
time.
Ji Lingtian asked, "Are all the houses on the island located here?"
The subordinate replied, "Yes, there are sixteen households in total."
Ji Lingtian looked at the row of white houses in front of him, imagining Qin Zixin in one of these houses, and couldn't help but recall what Qu Ranran said in his mind.
"Mr. Ji, I tell you the news about my sister, not because I want you to find my sister, but because I don't want to see you continue to live in such a negative way... But I need you to promise me a request, and you are not allowed to disturb me.
She, because I promised my sister that I will not let you disturb her life again."
Stopping recalling what Qu Ranran said in his mind, Ji Lingtian asked his subordinate, "Can I communicate with the people on this island?"
The subordinate replied, "The people on the island speak Sicilian. I have contacted a local resident. He understands English and Sicilian. He can communicate with the people on the island on our behalf."
As soon as his men finished speaking, an elder wearing the uniform of an island resident came to Ji Lingtian.
The subordinates began to communicate with the elders in English.
"Is there an Oriental woman who just moved here?"
"Are you talking about Miss Qin who has lived here for more than a month?"
The elder's words made his subordinates quite excited, and Ji Lingtian's eyes shone with hope.
"Yes, it's Miss Qin."
The elder smiled softly after hearing this, "We usually don't welcome outsiders here, but somehow, when Miss Qin comes here, everyone likes her very much... Maybe it's because Miss Qin is beautiful."
"Where is Miss Qin now?"
The elder stretched out his hand and said, "Well, it's right behind that house... She hangs out with her boyfriend on the beach behind the house at this time every day!"
In the quiet afternoon, the breeze is refreshing, the white waves gently hit the beach, and the salty and wet smell of the sea is still in your nose.
Qin Zixin wore a Hawaiian beach-style skirt and walked barefoot on the beach...
The sun and the beach made her thin body look less frail, and her face, which was not very red, also looked energetic because of the bright smile on her face.
She always showed her strongest side in front of him, so even in this encounter, God did not let him see her weakest side.
But her body was obviously not recovered yet, but she was already a little tired after just walking a few meters. Fortunately, there was someone around to support her.
At this moment, she turned around and smiled at the person supporting her.
Her shallow smile entered Ji Lingtian's eyes. At that moment, time seemed to have stopped, and he felt that his heart had also stopped beating.
However, the person standing next to her and supporting her at the moment - Gu Yuchen, was so dazzling in his eyes.
When Ji Lingtian's men saw this scene, they couldn't help but frown, "Mr. Ji, why... why is Gu Yuchen here?"
After asking this question, his subordinate realized that he should not ask this question at all, because he would probably cause the boss's displeasure.
Ji Lingtian said nothing, his cold thin lips pursed into a thin line.
The men did not dare to speak anymore and lowered their heads silently.
Watching Gu Yuchen and Qin Zixin walking on the beach from a distance, chatting and laughing, Ji Lingtian felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, but there was no obvious change on his face.
Therefore, she told everyone the fact that she was still alive, but she never thought of telling him.
She would rather let him know about her "death" than have him appear in front of her. She really didn't want him to disturb her life again.
Seeing that Ji Lingtian didn't speak for a long time, his subordinates just looked at her quietly from a distance of dozens of meters where Qin Zixin wouldn't notice. They couldn't help but said, "Mr. Ji, do you want me to go up and have a fight with Madam?"
call?"
"No need." Ji Lingtian replied calmly.
The subordinates were stunned, "Mr. Ji, aren't you going to see Madam?"
Ji Lingtian was speechless and turned around.
The subordinates followed Ji Lingtian silently, unable to guess what the boss was thinking. When they looked up, they only saw the boss's lonely and cold back.
The men couldn't help but turn around and look at Qin Zixin's position...
She and Gu Yuchen were still talking and laughing and walking on the beach, and they seemed to be in a good mood.
The subordinate sighed in his heart, the boss must be injured.
A few minutes later, his subordinates led Ji Lingtian to a white house on the island.
The subordinate said to Ji Lingtian, "Mr. Ji, in order to facilitate communication, we will rent in the house of Uncle Allen who just guided us for these two days... Coincidentally, Uncle Allen just told me that his house turned out to be
It's next door to the house my wife rents, so you and your wife are quite destined."
Ji Lingtian gave a soft "hmm" and walked into the house, tired from not having rested for days and nights.
When Ji Lingtian woke up, it was already dark on the island.
There are no bright lights of the city. At night on the island, there are only lights scattered everywhere, but it does not have a romantic feeling.
Ji Lingtian sat up from the wicker chair, pinched his temples, and asked his subordinates standing aside, "How long have I been asleep?"
The subordinate replied, "Three or four hours."
Ji Lingtian frowned, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"I see, Mr. Ji, you haven't slept for a few days, and I can't bear to wake you up." His subordinate replied softly.
Ji Lingtian had never had a good sleep these days. In addition, he had been trying all means to find the location of Laurent Arthur Island where Qin Zixin was located. Ji Lingtian naturally fell asleep as soon as he leaned on the chair.
Ji Lingtian didn't blame him out loud, he just said, "What time is it now?"
The subordinate replied, "It's already six o'clock in the evening...Uncle Allen has already prepared dinner for you."
Ji Lingtian nodded slightly, "You said this afternoon...she lives next door?"
"Yes, the house Madam rents is next door to ours."
"Gu Yuchen also lives with her?"
"I'm afraid... yes." His subordinates dared not tell the truth, "Uncle Allen just told me that Madam's Gu Yuchen is also having dinner at the moment."
…
Under some towering coconut trees, Qin Zixin and Gu Yuchen were having a meal.
There was a retro European-style lamp hanging on the coconut tree. The light was not very bright, and the place where Qin Zixin and Gu Yuchen were dining was somewhat blurred.
Although this kind of blur is not deliberately created, it has a beautiful atmosphere of dining in a European classic restaurant.
Ji Lingtian stood behind the coconut tree and never moved forward.
The distance between them was only a few meters away. He could see her clearly, but she couldn't see him.
She and Gu Yuchen tasted the food on the island with some enjoyment, and each other's faces were full of satisfaction.
The subordinates kept secretly watching Ji Lingtian's expression, sighing in their hearts from time to time, but they did not dare to speak out to persuade their boss to show up in front of the boss's wife.
A short distance away, the conversation between Gu Yuchen and her clearly reached his ears——
Gu Yuchen suddenly stopped eating, smiled, and looked at her deeply.
It took her a few seconds to notice Gu Yuchen's gaze. She raised her beautiful face and smiled with him, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I just...just cherish the time I have with you."
The smile on her lips widened, "I'm not dead yet... you just look sad, which makes me negative."
Gu Yuchen hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant... I meant that when I am with you, I always want to cherish it."
The sincerity in Gu Yuchen's eyes was not mixed with any pretense. He was so concerned and nervous about Qin Zixin.
Qin Zixin moved her lips and chuckled, pretending not to understand the deep feeling behind his words, lowered her head and continued to eat.
"I'm sorry, did I make things awkward between us again?"
Qin Zixin cut her food and shook her head, "I'm lucky to have met you."
Gu Yuchen put down the tableware in his hand and said seriously, "Zixin, I will always stay here to take care of you...I said, I won't let anything happen to you."
Qin Zixin sighed softly, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yuchen apologetically, "Actually, I have always wanted to say sorry to you... When I was in London, I left without saying hello to you in person, so I asked you to do it for me.
Worried."
"I can understand what you did at that time..."
Qin Zixin shook her head vigorously and said, "I'm sorry. Actually, I never thought about going to England with you for treatment at that time. I just wanted you to help me leave City Y."
Gu Yuchen looked deeply at Qin Zixin and said, "I know."
Qin Zixin lowered her head apologetically, "I'm sorry for letting down your kindness."
"I'm glad Mr. Guan found you, otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to find such a good medical team to treat you."
"I am also very grateful to him... He is very good and matches my sister very well."
"Zixin, I hope I can always take care of you here. No matter whether your body can recover or not, I am willing to stay here with you."
"I don't want to, Imperial Minister. Your career has just reached its ideal state. I don't want you to waste your time here... The residents on the island are very welcoming. I will live a good life here. You don't have to."
Worry."
"For me, nothing is more important except you."
"You're stupid. You shouldn't have come here at all..."
"I'm not stupid... I gave up my feelings for you more than ten years ago and handed you over to Ji Lingtian. This was the worst decision I have ever made in my life. I will not let you suffer any more. I
I want you to spend the rest of the days in joy and joy."
Qin Zixin raised his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, "That was my decision, so I am the only one to bear the consequences."
"Did you know that I had a fight with Ji Lingtian when we were in London?"
Qin Zixin slowly looked at Gu Yuchen.
Gu Yuchen said slowly, "He came to you and looked arrogant... A man like him is headstrong and arrogant. He will never be considerate of others or accept other people's kindness. He simply
I don’t deserve you.”
"Everyone has two sides, and I know his true character is not like this."
"Are you still speaking for him at this time?" The mention of Ji Lingtian made Gu Yuchen furious.
Qin Zixin shook his head calmly, "I will not stop looking at him from an objective perspective because of my relationship with Ji Lingtian... He has just been changed by too many things. His original personality has also been changed.
He is a very good person.”
"So, you still care about him?"
Qin Zixin said truthfully, "When I talk about him now, my more thought is that I hope he can live a better life than before, because he has never been happy several times in his life, and God should be fair to him."
"Why don't you ask God to be fair to you?"
"Um?"
"You have loved him for so many years. In the end, what did he give you? If it weren't for him, your body wouldn't even have transformed like this." Gu Yuchen said angrily.
Qin Zixin calmly lowered his eyes and chuckled, "This is my own choice. He has never forced me. Moreover, I have been very clear over the years that he and I will never end, so I have no reason to blame him."
Blame him."
"If...if your body could recover, would you come back to him?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because all signs show that he is a late-minded man. He published newspapers in more than 60 countries around the world to find you for you. For you, he came to London in person. He even almost tore it open to announce your death.
'The hospital...I don't want to hide it from you, even though I don't want to admit it, but I think he cares about you."
Qin Zixin sighed sadly, "It's a pity that my mental energy has been exhausted. Just as my body has recovered, I can't love him like before... because the days without him are what I am now."
What I want most is that I no longer have to think about how to make up for my debt to him every day like I did in the past, and I no longer have to face his cold words and all kinds of hurt."
"Even if he is standing in front of you now, you will be indifferent."
"I will not remain indifferent. No matter what, he is the father of my child. I can still be an ordinary friend with him, but other than that, I will not have any interaction with him."
…
Qin Zixin's words reached Ji Lingtian's ears so clearly.
Ji Lingtian's deep eyes gradually dimmed...
Ji Lingtian's subordinates also heard the conversation between the boss's wife and her "new boyfriend". He couldn't help but keep peeking at his boss's face, but his boss could always hide his worries under that expressionless face.
"Mr. Ji..." His subordinates couldn't help but ask again, "Do you want to go to Madam and explain clearly... Maybe there is room for change in the matter."
Ji Lingtian turned around, and a touch of imperceptible loss and pain flashed across his eyes.
The men hurriedly caught up with Ji Lingtian, "Mr. Ji, since you are here, let's meet Madam..."
Ji Lingtian's steps suddenly stopped, "Do you think she wants to see me?"
The subordinates were a little confused when Ji Lingtian asked him this question, "This..."
Ji Lingtian has already found the answer from the hesitant faces of his subordinates.
The subordinate hurriedly added, "I just think it's not easy to find Madam. Even if Madam doesn't want to see you, you should meet Madam..."
Ji Lingtian looked at his subordinates and after a long time said, "She doesn't need me anymore."
