Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C48
She did not stop until she realized that Kieran had not caught up with her. She turned around and looked at him, but she did not know what to say. She knew what she was going to say, so she spoke first, “Kieran, I’m already married. There’s no more possibility of that happening.”
“If you are not happy, why don’t you get a divorce? I believe that Chi Yinan is not an unreasonable person. I can see that Lin Jingsheng will definitely come back to save you.”
She looked up at the blue sky, the sun’s rays dazzling. “You don’t know them yet, two equally strong men.”
Kieran did not say anything else. Just in time, her phone rang. It seemed like there was something important on the other end of the line. She smiled apologetically and left in a taxi.
She watched the taxi disappear into the traffic, then turned and walked on, her heels a little scuffed, and she found a seat on the side of the road and sat down and looked up at the leaves that had fallen in the autumn, yellow and rustling, and the sun came in through the gaps in the leaves and dappled the ground, and she pressed her temples against her body, and her thoughts were a little muddled, and the forest of her past was like a snake, a snake spitting out its core, binding her limbs, and at the same time the core that had cruelly sunk into her flesh and blood and poison seeped through her body.
She had also asked herself, “Forgive me?” She realized that she didn’t have that much confidence in herself. Therefore, every time she met him, her words would be filled with ridicule. The more she thought about it, the less she would be able to walk out on him.
From time to time someone walked past on the boulevard. She turned on the mirror and saw that her eyes had turned red. She sniffed and got up to find a taxi.
Chi Yinan arrived home around 4pm. At that time, she was practicing yoga in her bedroom, finishing her last difficult movement. Breathing heavily, he pushed open the door with a loud noise.
“You want to strangle yourself?” She stood on tiptoe, though her mouth was full of mockery, and reached up to untie the tie around his neck. Then she unbuttoned the top of her shirt collar.
Chi Yinan’s heated head gradually calmed down. He put his hand on her waist, exhaling the hot air with some urgency, “Where did you go today?”
“I’ve met Kieran, and I’m going to cook whatever I want to eat tonight.”
It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard such shameless words from him before, but that he was always so arrogant. She reached out her hand to support his chest as she pursed her lips in displeasure. “It’s already autumn.”
Chi Yinan smiled, his pretty face was lively and lively. He opened his mouth and said, “I’ll eat anything you make.”
Such a romantic sentence caused her to shiver. She couldn’t help but want to fry an egg to cook some green onions, but she didn’t want to eat it.
Although she thought this way, she didn’t really dare to make an egg to fry the scallion. She reckoned that she would be killed by him, “Go take a shower first, it’ll be fine after a while.”
It had indeed been a long time since he had tasted her cooking. Chi Yinan realized that he missed that taste. If he was really asked what it was, he wouldn’t be able to say it, but other people couldn’t make that taste.
Su Wenjin went downstairs to tell Auntie Xue to go back. She opened the fridge and took out the ingredients, then washed them one by one and put them on the plate. Auntie Xue had already put the rice in the electric cooker. She only needed to cook a few dishes.
Chi Yinan came out of the bathroom. The phone on the tea table was ringing. He looked at the caller ID and picked it up.
“You go out first. You’ll be fine in a moment.”
Chi Yinan pulled open the glass door of the kitchen and stood at the entrance, wearing a grey pajamas, his hair still dripping with water, his sharp eyes becoming gentle as he silently looked at the woman who was busy in the kitchen with her apron on, her petite body bent down, focusing on slicing potatoes. At this moment, Chi Yinan realized that he liked her, an indescribable emotion was spreading in his chest, and it seemed as if it would spill out at any moment.
“Why did you come in? Get out, you’ll be fine in a moment.” She didn’t look at the hair next to his ear, but it fell off again. Chi Yinan was one step ahead of her, and he reached out his hand to hold her …
“What can I do for you?”
She put down the knife and was about to say that she didn’t want his help when he reached out to lift the lid of the claypot. With a “clang” sound, the lid fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, splashing debris everywhere. Chi Yinan stared at the leftovers at his feet with a frown.
“Chi Yinan, you’re not hot, right?”
The lid of the claypot was extremely hot. She was wrapped in a cloth, yet he actually dared to directly take it with his hand. He thought himself to be a god, so he grabbed the hand that he was about to pull back to take a closer look, his thumb and index finger were completely red.
“It’s fine. You can just apply some ointment and leave. The ointment is in the cabinet under the TV.”
Chi Yinan retracted his hand awkwardly and went out around the debris on the ground. She stared at the debris at her feet and sighed, sighing that there was always a reason for a gentleman to be able to cook at home. The omnipotent Chi Yinan also had a weakness.
He swept up the bits and pieces on the ground, found a casserole and covered it with the lid. Then, he opened the dish, Stir-Fried Vegetables.
In less than ten minutes, she had already cooked two dishes. She carried the dishes to the table and looked through the curtain to see Chi Yinan sitting on the sofa with a first-aid kit in front of him, not even opening it. He was sitting up straight with his eyes lowered.
If she guessed right, the first young master of the Chi family was angry with her. She sighed in her heart, opened the first aid kit, and found some ointment to apply on him. He didn’t resist, but obediently let her wipe it.
“Eat, the food is getting cold.”
Chi Yinan pulled her hand and stood up. The wound on her hand was no longer painful, but there was still a bit of regret left.
It was just four simple dishes and one soup, but Su Wenjin’s cooking skills were mediocre. Compared to Auntie Xue, she was as different as heaven and earth. However, she was a contented person and had never competed with Auntie Xue, so she still had no chance to improve.
After eating two small bowls of rice and drinking a bowl of soup, she actually asked to wash the dishes on her own accord. She had taken the dishes from the internet, and she liked the appearance of the dishes, so in order to not be destroyed by him, she insincerely proposed to go out for a walk, and the dishes would be washed tomorrow.
They had dinner early, and the sky hadn’t completely darkened yet. However, the street lights had already lit up. Chi Yinan had already changed his clothes, and she was already wearing her shoes at the door.
The guard at Xi Hai’s door saw the couple walking in and out at the same time and looked at them curiously. After all, the number of times they had walked together in the past few years was the same number of times they had walked together, not to mention that she was still being held by Chi Yinan.
It was autumn now, and the weather was no longer hot. There were many parents playing with their children in the park, and there were also quite a few mothers pushing a baby carriage, while the kids were happily babbling in the car. While their mother was taking pictures with her phone in front, Chi Yinan happened to see this scene, and he leaned over to whisper into Su Wenjin’s ear: “Warm Jin, do you like children?”
Her smile barely left her mouth as she paused and said, “The child is very cute!” With an ambiguous answer, Chi Yinan didn’t ask anymore but pulled her inside. In the center of the park was a large artificial pool, and under the pool were colorful paintings, but they were really pretty. Many people took off their shoes to play inside.
She looked at the sneakers on her feet and decided that she had to untie her shoelaces. Chi Yinan released her and walked to the edge of the pool, bent down to untie his shoelaces, then turned around and reached out his hand to her. Chi Yinan was really a rare sight.
The autumn water was a little cold, but it was still within acceptable range. The pool was full of people, and he had just been splashed with water.
Lin Jingsheng’s car stopped outside the park. He didn’t get out of the car, but sat in the car and lit up a cigarette, the smoke lingered around him as he tilted his head and looked at the park, his gaze drifting off. He didn’t know where he was looking at, but he smiled wryly and lit up another cigarette, the street lamp was turning yellow, the car was shrouded in shadow, the traffic police knocked on the window.
Last night she had been playing in the park, getting wet, and when she came back she had a cold wind, and this morning she woke up with a sore throat and a dizzy head. Since Chi Yinan had already left for work, she rolled up her quilt and fell asleep, and when she woke up again it was 10 o’clock in the morning, she lifted the quilt and entered the bathroom.
She rolled her eyes and cursed. She didn’t know why Chi Yinan went crazy last night when he came back, so she kept pushing him, forcing him to say that he loved her, and only let him go in the middle of the night.
When he came out from washing up, his cell phone was ringing.
Half an hour after Su Wenjin arrived at the hospital, Jiang Yuemei was talking to a doctor in the corridor of the hospital. She went around the hospital and directly entered the ward, and after a few years, it was his turn.
“Your father was in a hurry.”
Jiang Yuemei came in and pulled at the blanket, carefully placing Su Xiao Yun’s hand under the blanket. She had seen this scene many years ago, but that woman was her mother.
“That’s good. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”
She couldn’t stand the scene of their loving each other. It would only remind her of her mother, who had died a miserable death. A woman couldn’t love someone so much that she lost herself, otherwise, the one who would be hurt would be herself.
“Aren’t you curious about why your father is like this?” Jiang Xuemei stepped closer, blocking her way.
There was a hidden meaning to her words. She looked as if she was the culprit as she frowned in displeasure. After being with Chi Yinan for so long, she had also done this: “Because of me?”
“Lin Jingsheng came to see your father. In order to marry you to Chi Yinan, he is giving your father trouble in the dark.”
She lowered her eyes and absent-mindedly held the chain in her hand, “Oh, it’s all an old thing. Lin Jingsheng isn’t unreasonable, maybe my dad did something to piss him off, and with my current status, it’s impossible for me to have anything to do with him. As for dad, when he wakes up, tell him I came.”
Jiang Xuemei’s eyes widened after she said those words, she did not have any of the temperament that a noble woman should have, if not for her walking fast, she would have already fought with Su Xiao Yun. It was not that they had never fought before, but at that time when she was young, it was easy for her to do irrational things, and she was even slapped by Su Xiao Yun.
As she walked out of the hospital, she did not want to interfere with Su Xiao Yun’s business, but rather, she wanted to see the Su Family go bankrupt. The Su Family was Su Xiao Yun’s hard work and hard work, and it was not like her mother was not working hard for them.
Walking out of the hospital with her head lowered, Jiang Xuemei’s words echoed in her head. It was truly ironic. What kind of status did she have to interrogate Jiang Xuemei now?
Lin Jingsheng lowered the window and drove very slowly. The car followed the woman walking on the sidewalk with her head down, she didn’t take many steps, she even stopped every few steps, although one couldn’t see her expression, but one could imagine that she was frowning in displeasure. The black car slid to a stop in front of her, and at the sound of it, Su Wenjin looked up at the license plate number and walked away quickly with her bag.
Lin Jingsheng opened the car door extremely quickly. He was already in front of her, so how could he let her run away?
“Warm, I’m not a ferocious beast with a torrent of water, running away the moment you see me.” Lin Jingsheng’s serious face had a smile on it as he slowly ripped apart the mask she was wearing. Her warmth was so good that he had to believe it.
She couldn’t pull her wrist out of his grip, and now, in the middle of the busy street, she couldn’t act like a shrew. She rubbed her sore eyes with her free hand and said, “Let’s find a quiet place to talk.”
Since she was already here, she wanted to make things clear. There were some things that needed to be done as soon as possible.
