Before Ji Yuanyuan could retract her hand, Qin Mucheng grabbed it.
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and looked at Qin Muchengâs right hand. She tugged at the corners of her lips. âPay attention to traffic safety.â
Qin Mucheng looked ahead. âItâs alright. Iâll drive slowly.â
Ji Yuanyuan did not continue to say anything else but grabbed Qin Muchengâs hand tightly.
On the way, Qin Mucheng drove very slowly.
When they got home, Tangtang was indeed waiting eagerly.
She hugged Ji Yuanyuanâs thigh and acted coquettishly. âMommy, I donât know how to put together my Lego. Can you help me?â
Qin Mucheng reached out his hands and picked up Tangtang from the ground.
He then hugged her tightly in his arms. âIâll help you.â
âNo, I want Mommy!â Tangtang struggled.
Qin Mucheng ignored her and carried her to the carpet. âMommy is tired. She needs to rest for a while.â
Tangtang was placed on the carpet unwillingly.
She wanted to call her mother, but when she saw her motherâs tired back, she gave up.
She retracted her gaze and looked at Qin Mucheng.
She snorted and turned around. Her back was facing Qin Mucheng. Great-grandfather, help me arrange them.â
Qin Mucheng reached out and rubbed Tangtangâs head. âYouâre not like your mother at all. Youâre so petty.â
Tangtang turned around and looked at Qin Mucheng angrily. âIâm Mommyâs daughter. Of course, Iâm like Mommy.â
Your mother wasnât as petty as you when she was young. Your mother liked me very much when I was young. She was never angry with me.â
Tangtangâs braids were messed up by Qin Mucheng.
She wanted to be angry, but after hearing Qin Muchengâs words, she silently swallowed her anger.
Qin Mucheng laughed and could not help but rub Tangtangâs head.
Tangtang pursed her lips and felt like crying.
âYour mother loved to smile when she was young. She never cried,â Qin Mucheng continued.
When Tangtang heard this, she sniffed and forcefully suppressed her tears. Cheng Shuqin couldnât stand it anymore. She waved at Tangtang. âCome, Tangtang, come to Grandma.â
Tangtang seemed to have found a backer. She stood up and ran to Cheng Shuqinâs side without wearing her shoes.
Cheng Shuqin sat on the sofa and carried Tangtang. She wiped her feet with her hands. âDonât listen to your father. Youâre children, princesses. You can laugh and cry whenever we want.â
Qin Mucheng turned around and saw that Ji Yuanyuan had not come out of the bathroom for a long time. He got up and went to the bathroom door.
He stood at the door and thought for a while before knocking lightly.
Ji Yuanyuan came out very quickly.
Her face was wet, so she must have washed her face.
âGo upstairs and rest for a while. If you donât want to come down, Iâll bring you lunch, Qin Mucheng said in a low voice.
Ji Yuanyuan wanted to force a smile and tell Qin Mucheng that she was okay.
However, her smile was uglier than crying.
Qin Mucheng reached out his hands and pressed the corners of her lips down.
He said softly, âDonât smile if you donât want to. If you donât want to talk, stay by yourself. Thereâs no need to disguise yourself in front of your family.ââ
Ji Yuanyuan let out a subtle sigh.
Qin Mucheng always understood her so well.
She nodded. âIâm going upstairs for a while. Donât worry about my lunch. Iâll come down when Iâm hungry.â
Qin Mucheng patted her head and comforted her silently.
Ji Yuanyuan quietly went upstairs.
When she reached stairs, Tangtang noticed her. Just as she was about to call out to her, Cheng Shuqin reminded her. âLet Mommy rest. Letâs not disturb her okay?â
Tangtang thought for a moment and nodded gently.
âOur Tangtang is so obedient.â Cheng Shuqin kissed Tangtang on the cheek.
Ji Yuanyuan went upstairs and lay on the bed, exhausted. She stared blankly at the ceiling and sighed silently.
Why did Ji Jianguo appear in front of them?
Hehad left so decisively back then. Howgood would it be if he disappeared just like that?
In S City, Ji Ziâang finally found Qi Huanhuanâs house.
He tidied his clothes and raised his hand to knock on the door.
However, he suddenly thought of something. He put down his hand, turned around, and went downstairs again.
About 20 minutes later, Ji Ziâang returned with a plate of food in his hand.
There had to be a reason, right?
Moreover, he said on the phone that he would come over to deliver breakfast.
He straightened his collar with one hand and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
One, twoâ¦
After knocking a dozen times, the door opened.
Qi Huanhuanâs mother appeared at the door.
More than ten years had passed, but Mother Qi was still as beautiful as ever.
âZiâang is here?â she asked with a smile. âCome in quickly. Itâs cold outside isnât it?â
Although they had never seen them before. However, Qi Huanhuan had already confessed to her family about their relationship.
Therefore, Mother Qi recognized him at a glance.
Realizing this, he was at a loss.
He stood at the entrance and asked in a low voice, âAuntie, Huanhuan⦠Is she at home?â
Mother Qi nodded as if she didnât know that they were quarreling. âSheâs in the house. Iâll go get her for you.â
Mother Qi turned around and went to one of the bedrooms. She knocked on the door. âHuanhuan, someoneâs here. Get up quickly.â
After a while, Qi Huanhuanâs voice came from the room, âI knowâ¦â
Mother Qi returned to the living room and gestured for Ji Ziâang to sit down.
âSit down. Iâll pour you some tea. Is Tieguanyin okay?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He suddenly realized that he had been too presumptuous.
âAuntie, I came in a hurry and didnât bring anything. Iâm really too rudeâ¦â
Mother Qi poured some tea and said, âIâm already very happy that youâre here. Did you just arrive?â
Yes, Auntie. I drove more than four hours from B City.â
âYou must be tired after driving for such a long time, right?â Mother Qi was a little surprised.
âIâm not tired. Huanhuan said she wanted to eat the breakfast I sent over.â Ji Ziâang said deliberately.
Ji Ziâang!â Qi Huanhuan, who had just come out of the bedroom, sneered. âStop with your nonsense, Ji Ziâang!â
âWeâve already broken up,â she said as she adjusted her clothes. âWhatâs the point of doing this?â
âAunty, thereâs a misunderstanding between Huanhuan and me. Iâm here to apologize to Huanhuan.â Ji Ziâang chuckled awkwardly.
Mother Qi was an open-minded person. She immediately said, âIâm going out
to buy groceries. Ziâang can eat at home for lunch.â
âThank you, Auntie.â Qi Huanhuan was about to say something when Ji Ziâang interrupted her.
Mother Qi ignored Qi Huanhuanâs desperate glances and quickly put on her clothes, took her wallet, and left.
Ji Ziâang looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice, âYour familyâ¦â Is there anyone else here?â
âIf you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, say it.â Qi
Huanhuan rolled her eyes.
âYouâ¦â Ji Ziang was stunned.
âWhat about me?â Qi Huanhuan asked fiercely.
âYou used to be very gentle.â Previously, when she was with him, Qi Huanhuan was clearly very gentle. Why was it that nowâ¦
âYou said it was in the past. You were my boyfriend in the past, but not now.
