The End
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Yuanyuan had become busy the moment she returned to the country. Speaking of which, Cao Xiaorui still owed her a welcoming banquet.
However, Cao Xiaorui’s choice of date was really ill-fated.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “Not today. Do you know Yang Jingyi?”
“Your childhood friend?” Cao Xiaorui nodded.
Back when she was still in school, Ji Yuanyuan had brought her to meet each other. Cao Xiaorui had a vague impression of her.
“She’s married a few days ago. I had an operation a few days ago, so I didn’t manage to attend. There will be a homecoming banquet tonight, it’ll be inappropriate for me to not attend tonight.”
She finally got married in her thirties.
The other party was the same as Yang Jingyi. They had physical defects and couldn’t have children.
The two of them did not plan to adopt either. They planned to go to a nursing home when they were old.
It could be considered like-minded.
Yang Jingyi’s wedding date was set long before Ji Yuanyuan returned to the country.
After returning to China, the date of the surgery coincided with Yang Jingyi’s wedding.
That surgery was the one that shocked Ji Yuanyuan and the entire hospital.
Other than Ji Yuanyuan, no one else could do it.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan could only regret being absent from Yang Jingyi’s wedding.
Although Cao Xiaorui was a little disappointed, she still generously gave her blessings.
After work, Qin Mucheng was already waiting in the hospital’s parking lot.
Naturally, he had to attend Yang Jingyi’s homecoming banquet as well.
He leaned against the car leisurely, his body tall and slender. He was holding his phone and looking at something. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Even though they had been married for many years and their child was already an adult, Ji Yuanyuan’s heart was still moved by him.
Qin Mucheng probably sensed Ji Yuanyuan’s gaze as he suddenly looked up at her.
When she saw Ji Yuanyuan, the curve of her lips gradually widened.
He stuffed his phone into his pocket and waved at Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan walked over quickly.
“What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?” Ji Yuanyuan asked as she fastened his seatbelt.
Qin Mucheng took out his phone and handed it to her. He raised his eyebrows. “Do you want to check on it?”
Ji Yuanyuan laughed. “How can I not believe you?”
Qin Mucheng saw that Ji Yuanyuan did not pick up the phone for a long time. He retracted his hand in disappointment and started the car.
“I trust you so much. Why do you seem unhappy?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.
Qin Mucheng sighed faintly. “I envy Secretary Zhou occasionally. Being paranoid is also a way to express love.”
Ji Yuanyuan knew Secretary Zhou, she often heard Qin Mucheng talk about him.
It was said that Secretary Zhou was very handsome and looked 60% similar to a popular celebrity.
Of course, Ji Yuanyuan had never met Secretary Zhou before. Secretary Zhou only got promoted after she went abroad.
Secretary Zhou had a wife whom he know since she wore a school uniform until a wedding dress. They had been married for many years and had two children.
Even so, Secretary Zhou’s wife still called twice a day.
Secretary Zhou’s phone password was the date of their marriage. His wife would check his phone from time to time.
Occasionally, Secretary Zhou would take the time to call his wife when he had a social gathering at night.
Secretary Zhou and his wife’s situation was similar to theirs.
However, Ji Yuanyuan gave Qin Mucheng 100% freedom.
She dodn’t check his phone or track his whereabouts.
Ji Yuanyuan held back her laughter when she heard that. She reached out her hand to Qin Mucheng. “Give me your phone.”
Qin Mucheng did not hesitate at all. He took out his phone from his pocket with one hand and handed it to Ji Yuanyuan.
The screen lit up and Ji Yuanyuan skillfully entered her birthday.
From the year the smartphone appeared, Qin Mucheng’s passcode had always been her birthday.
Ji Yuanyuan was very confident about this.
She opened the software that was running and realized that Qin Mucheng was indeed chatting with someone on WeChat.
“Are you sure? I’m opening it!” Ji Yuanyuan asked jokingly.
Qin Mucheng nodded. “Take a look. I don’t have any secrets.”
Ji Yuanyuan opened his WeChat and realized that he was chatting with Ji Zi’ang.
Just as she was about to open the chat box, another message came in. “Don’t be too fond of showing off. My wife is always unhappy with me and wants me to learn from you. Isn’t it just a birthday? She’s already celebrated more than 30 birthdays. What’s so strange about it?”
Ji Yuanyuan patted her head, and remembered. “Thursday is my birthday. I’ve been too busy recently. I completely forgot.”
Qin Mucheng had an expression that said, ‘I knew it would be like this.’
“Ji Zi’ang is right. You’re different from before. You’re now a strong independent woman. The surprise that I racked my brains to create for you might not be a surprise to you. This year, just eat something simple at home. Tell me what gift you want.”
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and chuckled. “Yes, you can. But why do I feel that you’re a little resentful?”
“Do the math yourself. How long has it been since you came home on time for dinner?” While waiting for the red light, Qin Mucheng turned his head to look at her.
“I’m sorry. I’ll definitely be home on time on Thursday night.” Ji Yuanyuan squeezed his arm in a fawning manner.
She had indeed been very busy since she came back. Working overtime was a common occurrence.
Moreover, she could not guarantee that she would be able to return home on time in the future.
In her position, working overtime might be the norm.
Qin Mucheng leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. “I’m just joking. You’re different from the typical strong woman. Your hands can save lives. It’s okay to work overtime. I’ll wait for you.”
After he finished speaking, the red light turned green. Qin Mucheng retracted his gaze and focused on the road ahead.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the side of his face and her heart softened.
She was fortunate to have a husband who fully supported her career. She did not have to balance her family and life, nor did she have to worry about her children’s studies.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel Yang Jingyi had booked.
The homecoming banquet was arranged in private rooms, and the private rooms arranged for them were all Yang Jingyi’s childhood friends and friends.
Fang Xinyi and her husband were also there. She was now the mother of two children.
Deng Juan and the young couple lived together. Together with the nanny at home, she helped Fang Xinyi take care of the two children.
“Ji Yuanyuan!” She waved her hand when she saw Ji Yuanyuan. “Come here quickly. Sit here.”
After all, they were childhood friends. Even though they hadn’t seen each other for a while, their relationship hadn’t been affected at all.
Not long after they sat down, Yang Jingyi came over.
She brought her husband along and smiled sweetly.
Ji Yuanyuan had been overseas for the past few years, so he had never seen Mr. Chen.
She had only seen his photo on WeChat.
Mr. Chen was thinner and more handsome than in the photo.
Yang Jingyi wasn’t tall, and she looked even cuter beside Mr. Chen.
When she looked at Mr. Chen, her eyes were full of stars.
All of a sudden, Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes turned moist.
Qin Mucheng was keenly aware of her abnormal emotions. He reached out to comfort her and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Ji Yuanyuan sniffed and choked. “Nothing. I just feel…”
She suddenly thought of her childhood.
She and her two brothers followed their mother to the market to sell vegetables. They got up early in the morning and helped with the accounts with sleepy eyes.
Yang Jingyi witnessed her father’s adultery and her mother’s suicide. She also witnessed her father remarrying a mistress, who went crazy and tried to hurt her.
As for Fang Xinyi, she had lost her father at a young age and was almost sold off. She had followed her mother and wandered around, not even having a place to stay.
They had all survived.
She welcomed a completely different life from when she was young.
“It’s great that we’re so happy now.” Ji Yuanyuan endured the soreness in her nose and finished speaking.
Yang Jingyi seemed to sense something and looked at her.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly smiled.
Qin Mucheng held her hand that was under the table.
He held it tightly..
