âWhatâS wrong?â Yang Jingyi tilted her head and looked at him curiously. Zhang Mingyuan smiled, âItâs nothing. Iâm just curious. Especially that Ji Yuanyuan. Sheâs quite low-key, but the clothes she wears are not cheap.â Yang Jingyi wasnât too happy to hear him talk about her friend, but she still pulled herself together and said, âHer family is rich. Her husband is rich, too.â Zhang Mingyuan nodded thoughtfully and then reached out to hold Yang jingyiâs hand, âLetâs eat at my place tonight? Yaya went to my motherâs place.â Zhang Mingyuanâs words were too obvious. Yang Jingyi wasnât a young girl who didnât understand the world, so she naturally understood.
However, she hesitated for a moment and said in a whisper, âMy mom called me home for dinner tonight. Maybe next time.â
Zhang Mingyuan looked a little disappointed, but he still forced a smile and said, âThen next time.â
âLetâs go. Iâll send you home.â Zhang Mingyuan said.
After getting into the car, Yang Jingyi leaned her head against the window and pretended to play with her phone.
To be honest, although she was protective of Zhang Mingyuan in front of Ji Yuanyuan, she did not have much feelings for him.
She just felt that Zhang Mingyuan was quite suitable for her.
Ever since she broke up with Xi Xinâan, she has not had much hope for a relationship.
It seemed like she didnât know how to love anymoreâ¦
To be more precise, she didnât dare to love anymore.
Once, she loved someone wholeheartedly and wanted to give up everything she had.
However, in the blink of an eye, she had lost everything. This feeling could take half of her life.
She did not want to experience it again.
Although she did not want to experience love again, she wanted to get married.
After all, people had to get married.
She was still young. She still had room to choose if she set her sights on a divorced man with a child.
If she were to wait until she was older, she might only be chosen by others. Although Zhang Mingyuan was nine years older than her, his conditions were not bad.
He was good-looking, had a car and a house, and his income was not low.
Moreover, he had no plans to have a second child.
It was pretty in line with her requirements. Although they do not have any feelings for each other now, they will develop feelings for each other over time.
However, she did not dare to let her mother know yet.
She knew what her situation was, but she was worthy of anyone in her motherâs eyes.
Therefore, she planned to wait for a period of time until she and Zhang Mingyuan developed a relationship before telling her mother.
Yang Jingyi leaned against the window and sighed.
However, this was too difficult.
She opened QQand scrolled through the Qzone.
Looking at the cute little boy on the screen, Yang Jingyiâs hand suddenly trembled.
That was Xi Xinâanâs account. She did not delete him from her friend list when they broke up that year.
It had been so many years. Although he had kept her as a friend, he had never contacted her again. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Moreover, not long after they broke up, WeChat became popular.
Everyone started to use WeChat, but QQwas rarely used.
It had been a long time since she had opened the Qzone.
Xi Xinâanâs son had grown up quite a bit. He was quite cute and looked a little like Xi Xinâan.
She didnât know why, but she felt a little flustered.
She was looking at her ex-boyfriendâs Qzone in front of her current boyfriend. âWhat are you thinking about? Why do you look like you have a deep grudge?â While waiting for the red light, Zhang Mingyuan turned his head and looked at Yang Jingyi strangely.
Yang Jingyiâs hand trembled. She put her phone on her lap and looked up as calmly as she could, âNothing. Iâm thinking about work.â
Zhang Mingyuan did not suspect anything. He smiled. âToday is the weekend. What work are you thinking about?â
âI just remembered that there was something wrong with the form I gave the leader on Friday afternoon,â Yang Jingyi sighed.
Zhang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, âThen when you get home later, hurry up, edit it, and send it to the leader again. Donât delay things.â As he spoke, the red light ended. Zhang Mingyuan focused on the front and stepped on the accelerator.
In the passenger seat, Yang Jingyi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She subconsciously glanced at Zhang Mingyuan.
Seeing that Zhang Mingyuan did not notice her, she lowered her head and picked up her phone again.
However, she was stunned when she looked at the phone screen.
She actually liked Xi Xinâanâs post.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly unliked it.
It had only been a minute, Xi Xinâan definitely did not notice. As long as she canceled it, Xi Xinan wouldnât receive a notification, right? After canceling the âlikeâ comment, she heaved a sigh of relief and exited the space.
On the chat interface, the top message was sent by Xi Xinâan a minute ago.
âHow are you?â
Yang Jingyiâs eyes reddened at those words.
Her hands were trembling slightly. She did not reply to Xi Xinâanâs message but logged out of QQ.
She turned her head and looked out the window, not wanting Zhang Mingyuan to see her losing her composure.
She only managed to suppress her emotions when she reached the door of her house.
After Zhang Mingyuan left, she dragged her heavy body upstairs.
Hu Chunli wasnât at home. The supermarketâs business was getting bigger and bigger, and Hu Chunli had more and more work to do.
Even though it was the weekend, she was still swamped.
Yang Jingyi returned to her room in a daze and lay on the bed. She felt dizzy.
The room was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.
She stared at the ceiling and took out her phone from her pocket after a while. When he opened QQ, Xi Xinâanâs chat box had already been pushed to the bottom by the group messages.
Yang Jingyi slid down a few times before she found his.
She clicked on Xi Xinâanâs profile picture and hesitated for a few seconds before deleting Xi Xinâan from her friend list.
Yang Jingyi let out a long sigh.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze and suddenly burst into tears. On the other side, Fang Xinyi left after sending Ji Yuanyuan off. At home, Qin Junshan was having his lunch break.
Cheng Shuqin brought Tangtang to the living room to do a puzzle.
Tangtang was very focused. Even though Ji Yuanyuan had returned, she was not distracted. She was still fighting seriously.
âMom, Iâll accompany her to play for a while. You can go and sleep for a while,â Ji Yuanyuan whispered when she saw Cheng Shuqinâs tired face.
Cheng Shuqin looked at Tangtang. Seeing that she didnât look like she was going to sleep soon, she nodded, âThen Iâll go and sleep for a while.â Cheng Shuqin stood up and left. Ji Yuanyuan sat opposite Tangtang. Tangtang did not notice it at all. She was focused on the puzzle on the ground. When the puzzle was completed, she looked up and said, âGrandmaâ¦â âMommy, look at my puzzle.â Her eyes lit up when she saw Ji Yuanyuan. Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head to take a look. The puzzle on the carpet was Queen Elsa, whom Tangtang liked.
âWow, Tangtang is really amazing. You even completed such a difficult puzzle.â Ji Yuanyuan praised sincerely..
