Her words were like winter snow, which directly extinguished the burning fire in his heart. He looked at her deeply, trying hard to save her, "Are you talking angry words to me now?"
"I'm not talking angrily. You know, my character is not a person who refuses to accept something. Every decision I make is carefully considered. It's like I have never regretted my choice to bury my self-esteem."
I want to make it up to you." She stared at him, her voice was very soft and soft, like fallen leaves falling in the autumn wind. "Ling Tian, there was a chance between us, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, we still missed it."
Her clear eyes turned away from the smoke, and the corners of her lips raised decisive words, "We have missed it, and there is no way to look back."
His heart hurt so much that it far exceeded the pain he felt when he learned of her "betrayal".
He suddenly felt that he was in a desolate place, with no sunny days, no wind and rain, only darkness and loneliness...
There was no way they could go back.
She turned around and left with firm steps.
"Qin Zixin!!"
He called her name and chased after her.
He desperately turned her back, his dark eyes covered with mist, "Even if we can't be husband and wife, please let me stay with you in this last moment, okay?"
He had read the diary she left behind and knew how much he disappointed her... so he would not blame her for her cruel rejection, because he had already mentally prepared himself to face all difficulties.
The most important issue right now is that he wants to stay with her. He must stay with her. He never wants to be separated from her again.
"But, I don't need you." She covered her long eyelashes.
"Xinxin..."
She lowered her head and her voice was slightly hoarse, "Don't call me that..."
"Let me stay with you... We can temporarily put aside the past and just be a pair of simple friends. I just ask you to let me stay with you at this moment."
She gently broke away from him and spat out impatiently, "Ji Lingtian, I've already told you that I don't need you. Didn't I say it plainly enough?"
"I know you want to make me angry..."
"I don't, I'm just telling you the truth from the bottom of my heart... I don't care about you anymore, don't you understand yet?" Her voice gradually rose, and her impatience became more obvious.
He looked at her deeply, as if her reaction at this moment was unexpected.
She sighed heavily, adjusted her emotions, and spoke slowly, "If you are really good for me, then let me completely break away from the past and live for myself... When I was seventeen years old, I was ignorant and only wanted to be alone.
Being good to me, I just wanted to follow that person wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. Only when I am thirty years old now do I realize how simple my thoughts were when I was seventeen... In these thirteen years that I missed, I wasted my youth and energy.
With all my energy, I have been pursuing something that I can never get. Now I finally gave up. After giving up, I realized that there are actually many beautiful things in this world, and there are also many people worth getting to know again.
, I can completely start my new life... Maybe I felt guilty for you in the past, but I have spent thirteen years repaying what I owed you, so now you don't owe me, and neither do I.
I owe you, we are settled, let the fate between us end here!"
She closed her eyes so that he could not tell her thoughts from her eyes, but he could clearly feel the fatigue in her tone...
Sadness crept into the corners of his eyes, "We are shallow, and it is impossible for us to have no intersection at all."
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him calmly, "So, we don't have to be enemies, we can be friends forever."
"I have read your diary and I know you cannot give up so easily. You are a stubborn person."
"Are you referring to my old crush on you?"
"That's not what I meant. I just hope that we can think rationally... If you choose to reject me because you are angry with me for what I have done, I am willing to wait until you are angry, as long as you can give us another chance.
I will let you see my regret, my compensation and my sincerity, but if what you say at this moment comes from your heart, and you have found someone who can bring you warmth and dependence, I will not force you.
Because I also hope you can live well."
She looked at him without blinking and said sternly without any hesitation, "I firmly believe that Yuchen will be able to bring me the life I want."
Therefore, her choice is to stay away from him and start her new life.
He looked at her quietly, as if he was unwilling to accept her answer, and was too heartbroken to speak.
She turned around again, this time taking steps without hesitation.
"Xinxin!" His mournful voice echoed in the howling wind, so panicked and frightened.
She was determined and never looked back.
------------------------------------------------
Does he really have no chance?
He really...can't save her?
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ji Lingtian felt his chest tightening, and a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body... This feeling was just like the feeling he had when he learned of her death.
of fear.
When she made amends to him for past mistakes, he just hated her indiscriminately...
When she tested him again and again, he knew that she just wanted to see a little hope, but he always used a cruel and vicious tone to destroy all her hopes...
For the past thirteen years, she has been striving for perfection...
When she was terminally ill, many times she just wanted him to have a good talk with her, but he was always arrogant...
If he really cared about her, how could he not even know that she was terminally ill? As a husband, he was even worse than Gu Yuchen, an outsider...
Therefore, he is indeed not qualified to take care of her...
He is not qualified...
After thinking about this, Ji Lingtian lit a cigarette dejectedly and looked out the window, trying to use nicotine to numb the pain in his heart.
This small island is so peaceful and peaceful.
When he came here, he thought he might be able to spend some time isolated from the world with her, but when he got here, he realized that his arrival had destroyed the tranquility here.
I still remember the day when she "betrayed" him and later came to him to beg for her forgiveness. Her sad eyes contained deep love. Unfortunately, he was blinded by hatred and didn't even bother to care about her feelings. Now, when he is okay, he doesn't care about her feelings.
It's easy to figure out that when he longed to be with her again, the deep love she had in the past was no longer in his eyes.
She has no hatred or love for him, just peace.
This kind of calmness overwhelmed him, making him more confused than her hating him.
Is he really unable to save her?
No……
He didn't want to believe it.
The respectful voices of his men interrupted his thoughts.
"Mr. Ji, we have been on the island for fifteen days..."
With his back turned to his men, he said "hmm" almost silently.
The subordinate asked, "When will we go back?"
Ji Lingtian didn't answer.
The subordinate was afraid that the boss would misunderstand his talk, so he quickly added, "It's about the little miss's study. The old lady couldn't contact you, so she contacted me to ask when you would return to New York. She said that the little miss had already started school for a few days. If you
She didn't have time to take the little lady back to City Y, so she let the little lady study in New York."
"No, just tell her that I will go back as soon as possible."
"yes."
The men retreated silently.
However, when his subordinates turned around and were about to leave, Ji Lingtian suddenly called out to him, "You must have heard my conversation with Qin Zixin, right?"
The subordinate nodded awkwardly, "Yes...yes."
"Do you think what she said to me was angry?"
"this……"
"Honestly."
His hands trembled. He wanted to tell the truth, but he didn't dare to say it!
Ji Lingtian guessed the concerns of his subordinates and gave them reassurance. "You tell the truth according to your thoughts, and I won't blame you."
Hearing what Ji Lingtian said, his subordinates boldly said, "Mr. Ji, as someone who has been in love for many times and is considered a half-love expert, what Madam said to you doesn't seem like angry words.
Because Madam has always been a very calm person. In addition, women have a deep heart. I think Mr. Ji, you cannot choose to give up on Madam just because of what Madam said. Maybe Madam is still testing your patience and perseverance...
…”
"So, should I choose to stay?"
"Mr. Ji, you have already made a choice...Aren't you planning to go back to New York just to follow Madam's wishes and give Madam some peace?"
"But I'm not willing to do it."
"Even if you are unwilling to do so, Mr. Ji, it won't help if you stay here all the time." His subordinate said seriously, "What Madam needs most right now is cultivation. If you stay here reluctantly, it will disturb Madam's cultivation... In my opinion
, you have already made it clear to the madam what you should say, and the madam will definitely consider it in her heart. You might as well take advantage of the time when the madam is recuperating on the island, and give her some private time to let her think about you thoroughly.
relationship, if her final choice is still Gu Yuchen, then your departure will be a kind of compensation for your wife."
He also thought about it this way, so he just planned to return to New York.
They are no longer young, and the tricks of young people who are shameless and stalking do not apply between her and him. They are more willing to follow the choice of their hearts.
Since him staying here has brought her unhappiness, then he will give her freedom and let her make her own choice for once. After all, he already owes her a lot, and he can no longer forcefully control her life.
"Let's set off early tomorrow morning." Ji Lingtian finally decided.
"OK."
"Keep in good contact with Uncle Allen. I want to know her whereabouts and movements at all times. Also, after I leave, I want the three doctors who performed operations on Qin Zixin to move to this island."
The subordinate nodded, "I will arrange it."
------------------------------------------------
The next day.
Gu Yuchen walked with Qin Zixin on the beach at the usual time.
The weather today is still very good. Although the afternoon sun is very strong, it makes Qin Zixin, who is already weak, very comfortable.
Gu Yuchen didn't speak the whole time, which was a bit out of her habit as she usually always thought of ways to make Qin Zixin happy.
Finally, Qin Zixin couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you today?"
Gu Yuchen stopped and faced Qin Zixin, "I heard from Uncle Allen next door that Ji Lingtian left this morning."
Qin Zixin nodded, "I know."
She had already seen him when she and Gu Yuchen were having breakfast in the morning.
He stood behind the coconut trees and looked at her silently.
She knew that he was looking at her, knew that he was waiting for her to repent, and knew that he had always hoped that she would give him a chance to stay, but she ignored him.
She pretended not to see him, although he knew very well that she had noticed him.
She just stared at it, as if she didn't care.
She has made it very clear to him that she is not a person who makes decisions casually. Now that she has done it, she will not regret it.
The fate between them ends here.
It is difficult to recover when covered with water, and the ashes that have been extinguished can never be ignited again.
He should understand.
Gu Yuchen said, "I heard everything he said to you yesterday... To be honest, I was quite touched."
She agreed, "I also feel that with his usual pride, it is really not easy for him to lower his profile and say those words to me."
Gu Yuchen looked at Qin Zixin faintly, "Are you really not tempted at all?"
She smiled and said as she walked, "Did you suddenly not want to take care of me anymore?"
Even though he knew she was joking, he still answered seriously, "Of course not, I wish I could stay by your side."
Qin Zixin put a gentle smile on her face, "No matter how long I have, I really feel at ease with you by my side."
Gu Yuchen put his arms around Qin Zixin and said, "Thank you for giving me a chance to take care of you. I will definitely cherish it."
"I am the one who should say thank you... Thank you for not taking it personally."
Gu Yuchen stopped suddenly, gently held her weakened shoulders, and said affectionately, "I will never dislike you..."
"Hopefully we can get off to a good start."
"Definitely."
Gu Yuchen kissed her forehead lovingly.
She smiled happily.
------------------------------------------------
Three days later, Ji Lingtian saw the video from Uncle Allen in the study of Guanzhai in New York. She and Gu Yuchen were walking on the beach as usual. She seemed to be in a good mood and looked good.
A week later, in City Y, Ji Lingtian was sitting on an office chair in the office of the president of the "Lingtian" Group. The computer screen in front of him played the scene of Qin Zixin and Gu Yuchen sitting on the beach together watching the sunset.
Fifteen days later, Ji Lingtian did not go to the company. He was dressed casually, sitting in the study and looking at the pictures on the computer - the doctor had just examined her, and there was no sign of rejection in her body. The doctor said this was a very serious matter.
Good thing.
A month later, still in "Lingtian", Ji Lingtian received a call from the doctors on the island. They told him that Qin Zixin's physical condition was still good.
A month and a half later, Ji Lingtian received another video sent by Uncle Allen. Qin Zixin in the video looked full of life and looked great, and no longer looked like a sick person.
Two months later, today——
Ji Lingtian is in a meeting at the moment.
Executives at all levels focus on Lingtian’s third-quarter prospect projects and profit targets.
This is the most important meeting Ji Lingtian has held in "Lingtian" since Qin Zixin left Y City.
Ji Lingtian was listening carefully to his subordinate's report. At this time, the secretary quietly walked up to him and said softly, "President, the president's wife has called you."
The words "Mrs. President" shocked Ji Lingtian's heart.
Ji Lingtian paused the meeting and walked to the next room to answer her call.
Although there was only a short month and a half without contact, he felt that it had been centuries, so when he received her call, he felt that it was a bit unreal.
"Ling Tian, it's me."
"Um."
"I want to tell you good news. I broke the conclusion given to me by the doctor. I successfully survived these three months..."
"How are you?"
"I'm fine. I feel very good now. I don't feel any discomfort in my body. My heart seems to have regained its vitality..."
"That's good."
"I'm calling to tell you that I'm going back to City Y tomorrow and I really want to see Qianqian."
"Really? Well...okay."
"Thank you for taking care of Qianqian during these days."
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Okay, bye."
