Chapter 79 Existence

Yu Nian didn't know how he walked back to the car.

Although it was midsummer, she felt a chill creeping into her body from the soles of her feet, spreading along her limbs and bones to her entire body, as if she was thrown into an ice cellar, and she even had a momentary tinnitus.

Only after she got in the car did her trembling fingers gradually calm down. Over the years, she had already developed a habit of being calm, and very few things could make her mood change drastically. But when she saw Ji Yanxing's ring, her emotions were still out of control, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Of course, she would not believe everything Ji Feihe said. She thought she knew quite well what kind of person Ji Yanxing was. She believed that he would not sleep with Meng Ziyun.

It’s not that she trusts him that much, but based on her speculation about his character, if he really wanted to be with Meng Ziyun, he wouldn’t do something cheating, which would be too degrading.

Those photos showed that he had met Meng Ziyun many times in the past three years. Perhaps because she had encountered an accident again, he met her out of promise, but why didn't he tell her?

And how did Meng Ziyun get his ring?

Under what circumstances would he let Meng Ziyun get his ring?

Yu Nian closed his eyes, and a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed through his mind - was he framed by someone and accidentally slept with Meng Ziyun, which is why the ring was taken away?

She suddenly felt tired, tired from the inside out. She put her head on the steering wheel and stared out the window in a daze. What he didn't want her to know, she might never know in her life.

If it weren't for Ji Feihe, she might have continued living with him without knowing anything.

Is Meng Ziyun the only one who has hidden this from her?

Are there many more people like Meng Ziyun?

The crisis of trust between husband and wife is a very serious matter. Is she an unreasonable person?

Didn't she clearly tell him before that if something like this happened again, he should tell her in advance, and did he agree to her?

Having eroded her trust time and time again, Yu Nian no longer had the energy to question him. Even if she asked him, he would most likely say that he chose not to tell her because he didn't want her to overthink it.

After returning home, Yu Nian soaked in the bathtub for a long time until she felt chest tightness and almost suffocated, then she came out of the bathroom.

Because he was holding the ring too tightly, his palm was cut and bleeding. Yu Nian found a Band-Aid, cleaned it simply, and put it on his hand.

After pasting it, she looked up and was unexpectedly seen the wedding photo in the bedroom. She was wearing a holy wedding dress, and he leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows. She looked up at him, her eyes full of girlish expectation and shyness.

Her heart suddenly ached, and the delayed pain swept through her body, spreading to every corner of her body. She took a few deep breaths, as if this could ease the pain in her chest.

The cell phone on the bedside table rang for the third time. Yu Nian hesitated for a moment, but decided to answer the call.

She hasn't figured out how to deal with this yet. Yu Nian adjusted her mood, suppressed the dryness in her throat, cleared her throat, and answered the phone. "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Ji Yanxing saw that she looked unhappy and asked with a frown. Perhaps because she had just calmed down, Yu Nian's voice was unexpectedly calm, "I was watching a movie just now. The movie was so touching."

Ji Yanxing knew her habits. He had never seen her cry in real life except in bed. But when she was reading a book or watching a TV show, a small plot could make her cry uncontrollably.

He laughed and joked, "You are not so sentimental in real life."

"I'm a little tired today," Yu Nian walked towards the bed, "I've been running around outside all day, and I'm going to bed early."

Ji Yanxing leaned on the balcony railing and said, "I'll go back this weekend."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." If Ji Feihe hadn't looked for her today, she would probably be very happy to hear the news and would probably go to the airport to pick him up in person.

Ji Yanxing stared at her, examining her expression with deep eyes, "What happened?"

He was too familiar with her, and just by looking at her expression, he could tell that she definitely did not become like this because of watching the movie.

In front of him, she rarely managed to put on a forced smile. Yu Nian met his dark, deep eyes for a moment, then she looked down at his empty left hand.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she said calmly: "Nothing, I'm going to rest, I'll hang up first."

Yu Nian had a court hearing the next morning, so she got up at six. She forced herself not to think about it. After turning off the lights, she closed her eyes and curled up like a shrimp in the corner of the big bed.

Although the bedroom was very quiet and there was no noise, she also tried hard not to think too much, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't fall asleep at all.

All she could think of were the photos Ji Feihe had shown her. Ji Yanxing and Meng Ziyun had walked in and out of the hotel one after the other, and walked into the same hospital side by side. Meng Ziyun had gone to the company to find him, and they had taken the elevator downstairs together and had been in the same car...

Yu Nian opened her eyes. She was considered to be a person with stable emotions in the eyes of others, and she seldom suffered from insomnia, because very few things could make her feel anxious, except for the time when she had just gotten married and had an argument with him, when she would have mild insomnia, but it was not to the point where she would be awake at three in the morning without any desire to sleep.

Her fingertips lightly touched the screen, which suddenly lit up, causing her pupils to shrink suddenly. Yu Nian subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes and saw the time on the screen - 3:21. It was past three o'clock.

She needed to fall asleep quickly.

I have to work tomorrow.

Yu Nian sighed, got up from the bed, rummaged through the drawer and found the melatonin that she hadn't taken for a long time. After taking two pills, she put the bottle back into the drawer.

A few minutes later, thanks to the drugs, I finally felt sleepy.

-

The court session started at nine in the morning. This was the longest court session she had ever had in her career, and it didn't end until eight in the evening.

In court, she needed to concentrate highly and engage in a verbal battle with the lawyer opposite her, which left her with no energy to think about anything else. When it was over and she separated from her client, she walked to the parking lot in her high heels.

Having only eaten dry bread and mineral water the whole day, her stomach was making sour stomachaches. Yu Nian glanced at the parking lot which was still a long way to go, and sat down at the bus stop in front of the court. She took out the chocolate and the remaining half bottle of mineral water from her bag and chewed them slowly.

The sweet taste of chocolate stuck in her throat. She took a big gulp of water, took out her cell phone from her bag and turned it on. Her cell phone had been turned off all day.

After turning on the phone, many calls and text messages came in.

Ji Yanxing called her three times and sent her several text messages. She flipped through them and replied to him: [I was in court all day today. It just ended. I will call you back when I get home.]

She hasn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet, so let's just ignore it for now. After all, this marriage is not something that can be divorced easily. Theirs is an arranged marriage, and there are too many interests involved. Especially in the past three years, the Ji and Yu families have collaborated countless times, and their interests are closely intertwined.

If she really couldn't make ends meet, she wouldn't be willing and able to be so selfish as to let her family pay for the failure of her marriage.
