It was only after seven oâclock when Qin Mucheng was about to send Ji Yuanyuan off to work. Tangtang seemed to have spoken unintentionally, âDaddy, come back early.â
Qin Muchengâs expression remained the same, âGot it. Iâll be back after sending
Mom off.â
Tangtang didnât say anything else and focused on playing with her toys on the sofa.
After leaving the house and getting into the car, Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng teasingly, âIt seems like we can postpone the National Day holiday?â
Qin Mucheng had a smile on his lips. âWhy Iâm planning to go out and play during National Day is not for this.â He said in a whisper.
He paused for a moment and could not help but laugh, âBut, in that case, can
we not bring her out on National Day?â
âDonât think she doesnât hold grudges just because sheâs young.â Ji Yuanyuan shrugged.
Qin Mucheng smiled and shook his head.
When she sent Ji Yuanyuan to the hospital, it was still ten minutes before eight oâclock.
If it was in the past, Qin Mucheng would definitely talk to Ji Yuanyuan before leaving.
But today, Qin Mucheng had no intention of staying.
âItâS cold outside,â he instructed in a low voice. âYou should hurry up. Iâll pick
you up tomorrow morning.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. âGot it. Be careful on the way back.â
Qin Mucheng unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned forward to kiss Ji Yuanyuan on the cheek.
After Ji Yuanyuan got out of the car, Qin Mucheng rolled down the window and watched Ji Yuanyuan enter the hospital before driving away.
Ji Yuanyuan worked four night shifts in a row. Then one day, the night shift was changed to the day shift, and she had a day and a night of rest.
Coincidentally, it was the weekend, so Yang Jingyi had made an appointment with Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi in advance to bring her boyfriend to have dinner with them.
The place where Fang Xinyi lived happened to be on the same road as Ji Yuanyuan.
Fang Xinyi hadnât seen Tangtang in a long time, so she came to the Qin familyâs house first in the morning.
She planned to stay at the Qin familyâs house for a while, pick up Ji Yuanyuan, and go to the place Yang Jingyi had booked for dinner.
Tangtang didnât go to school on weekends.
Knowing that Fang Xinyi was coming, she excitedly asked Ji Yuanyuan to move her pink bunny stool to the door and waited for Fang Xinyi.
Tangtang had always been an emotional child. She was also very good at expressing her feelings and was always able to coax people to their heartsâ content.
Not long after, a black car stopped in front of the Qin familyâs house. Tangtang recognized Fang Xinyiâs car. She immediately stood up and ran to the car door, waiting for Fang Xinyi to get out.
Soon, Fang Xinyi came down.
She was wearing a short beige windbreaker with a bow tied around her waist.
She wore tight black leggings and a pair of black boots.
Her hair was shoulder-length and slightly curly.
In the past few years, Fang Xinyi had been doing well in the financial industry.
Her temperament was completely different from before.
When people were rich, they naturally became more confident and liked to smile.
She held two gift bags in her right hand. After closing the car door, she picked
up Tangtang with her left hand.
Tangtang quickly hugged Fang Xinyiâs neck and sincerely praised, âAunty, you look really pretty today.â
Fang Xinyi smiled and looked at the stool on the ground, âThankyou. Did Tangtang specially wait for me at the door?â she asked.
âYes,â Tangtang nodded.
Ji Yuanyuan heard the sound and came out of the house.
She quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the gift bag from Fang Xinyiâs hands, âHow many times have I told you? Donât buy her anything. She has a lot of things.â
Fang Xinyi hadnât said anything, but Tangtang nodded heavily, âMommy is telling the truth.â
Fang Xinyi couldnât help but reach out and pinch Tangtangâs cheeks, âAuntie likes you, so she wants to buy you something.â
âThen when I grow up and earn money, Hl buy things for Auntie too.â Tangtang thought for a moment and said seriously.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at her daughter and whispered to Fang Xinyi, âYouâre so young, yet you already know how to flatter people.â
Tangtang did not understand the meaning of the word âflatteryâ, but when she saw Ji Yuanyuanâs expression, she knew that it was probably not a good word.
âMommy!â She pouted.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly covered her mouth and mumbled, âAlright, alright. I wonât say anymore.â
Tangtang turned around and happily went to talk to Fang Xinyi.
Qin Junshan was basking in the sun in the courtyard. He sat on a rocking chair and was sleepy.
Fang Xinyi had wanted to go and greet him, but seeing his expression, she could only give up.
When she entered, Cheng Shuqin was in the kitchen, making snacks for
Tangtang with Aunt Wu and Xiao Qi.
Cheng Shuqin basically didnât allow Tangtang to eat the snacks and snacks she bought outside.
There were too many chemicals in those things. If children ate too much of them, it would not be good for their health.
Most of the food that Tangtang ate now was made at home.
Cheng Shuqin bought a lot of cooking books and learned how to make many snacks.
After greeting Cheng Shuqin, Ji Yuanyuan brought Fang Xinyi to the reception room on the third floor.
Not long after the two of them sat down, Cheng Shuqin came up.
He brought some snacks and fruits for the two of them.
âI didnât sleep much last night,â Fang Xinyi said to Ji Yuanyuan after Cheng Shuqin left.
âI canât tell.â Ji Yuanyuan looked at Fang Xinyiâs face carefully.
âIf you could tell, wouldnât my makeup be for nothing?â Fang Xinyi smiled bitterly.
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh. He took a fruit and fed Tangtang, âIt was a coincidence that day. I went to pick up Tangtang and bought her an ice cream on the way. I just happened to meet her. If I hadnât met her, she probably wouldnât have taken the initiative to tell me.â
âShe didnât tell me anything about relationships before yesterday.â Fang Xinyi shook her head.
She sighed, âIâve been feeling really bad ever since I called you last night.â Yesterday, Yang Jingyi suddenly called her and said that she had a boyfriend. She wanted them to have a meal with and get to know him, but she hesitated. She felt strange and called Ji Yuanyuan.
That was when she found out about Yang Jingyiâs boyfriend.
âI still remember when I was young, Jingyi was like a little sun, not like now.â Fang Xinyi sighed softly.
âYou said it yourself, it was when she was young. She wasnât sensible and didn t have many worries back then. Besides, with what happened back then⦠I donât think sheâs gotten over it yet.â Ji Yuanyuan did not mention Xi Xinâanâs name because Tangtang was around.
However, Fang Xinyi definitely understood.
-That person has really hurt her deeply.â She shook her head with a bitter smile.
âWho is that person?â Tangtang raised her head and asked curiously.
âItâs someone you donât know,â Ji Yuanyuan replied perfunctorily.
Tangtang blinked her eyes. She wanted to say something else, but Ji Yuanyuan quickly said, âMommy wants to eat grapes. Tangtang, can you peel one for me?â
âYes, yes.â Tangtang nodded immediately.
Ji Yuanyuan plucked a grape and placed it in Tangtangâs hand.
Tangtangâs attention was completely attracted by the grape.
âToo easy to fool.â Fang Xinyi laughed and said in a murmur.
Ji Yuanyuan laughed along..
