Chapter 95 Heartache

The phone screen remained motionless for a long time, dimming and then turning black, and her calm and cold face was reflected on the black screen.

Yu Nian looked at himself on the screen weakly and tiredly.

"Boom--" Thunder suddenly sounded, and several thunders exploded in the gloomy and dark sky. Immediately afterwards, heavy rain fell down.

Yu Nian raised her eyes and looked towards the balcony, and suddenly remembered what he said about going to watch the sunset in the afternoon.

Maybe God felt there was no need for them to go and see, so it started raining.

The custom of going to the beach to watch the sunset on the wedding anniversary was broken.

There was a sudden knock on the door, but Yu Nian ignored it. Aunt Liu stood by the door for half a minute, anxious and flustered, but finally couldn't help but say, "Madam, it's raining outside."

"..." Aunt Liu saw that she didn't say anything, so she shouted outside: "Madam, the gentleman is still downstairs looking for the ring. He didn't have an umbrella. The bodyguard gave him an umbrella but he refused to take it. Can you go and persuade him?"

Deliberately not holding an umbrella?

Do you want to make yourself sick and make her feel bad?

Yu Nian sneered and said to the outside of the door: "If he doesn't hold an umbrella, just let him get wet."

It's just a little rain, no one will die.

Aunt Liu looked at the closed door, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

What's going on? They were fine this morning, but now one of them is picking up the ring in the rain, and the other is locking the door and not caring...

Aunt Liu sighed, she couldn't understand these young people.

Hearing Aunt Liu's footsteps gradually fading away, Yu Nian slowly stood up, but her legs were numb from squatting for too long, so she slowed down, grabbed the door handle, stood up, and climbed onto the bed.

She went to bed very late last night and didn't know what to do at the moment, so she just made up for her sleep. Before closing her eyes, she went to the balcony to take a look. Heavy rain enveloped the city, plunging the whole world into the rain.

The sky also became overcast. Although it was morning, it felt as dark as night.

It was inconvenient to search with an umbrella, so Ji Yanxing didn't hold an umbrella. He turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and patrolled the lawn in an orderly manner. His slender fingers lifted the bushes, slowly and not missing a single inch of land.

Seeing that he was unwilling to hold an umbrella, the bodyguard had no choice but to follow him with the umbrella and hold it over his head to shield him from the rain. However, despite this, the rain still wet his clothes and his cold pale face was covered with cold water droplets.

The coolness seeped into the skin through the expensive fabric, making it so cold that I couldn't stop shivering.

The bodyguard couldn't help but said, "Boss Ji, let's go find him. You'll get sick if you do this."

Ji Yanxing's voice blended into the sound of the rain, "No need."

The bodyguard followed him helplessly, holding a large black umbrella to protect him from the rain.

I don’t know how long it took, but under the illumination of the flashlight, a tiny light flickered. Ji Yanxing squinted his eyes and saw the abandoned ring in the bushes. He bent down and picked up the ring.

The expression on her face when she threw the ring flashed through my mind——

She was even angrier than when she was in the study. She looked at him expressionlessly and didn't even want to get angry at him. She also threw away their wedding rings.

[Ji Yanxing, you make me feel more and more that my original choice was wrong. ]

Thinking of her decisive words, Ji Yanxing pursed his thin lips even tighter, feeling more irritated than ever before.

The original choice?

Is it a choice to marry him?

Does she think now that she should not have married him?

She regretted it.

I regret marrying him.

His heart ached slightly and his blood seemed to stop. Ji Yanxing raised his hand to press his aching heart, tightly holding the ring in his hand, and looked up at the direction of the balcony on the second floor.

Not all choices come with the chance to regret, and she should be responsible for her own choices.

She chose him, so she should be responsible for him.

It was she who made her an indispensable part of his life. He didn't force her at the beginning. She wanted to do this herself...

Aunt Liu stood at the door, watching the soaking wet man walk in, and immediately handed him a clean bath towel, "Sir, please wipe yourself."

Ji Yanxing didn't answer and asked calmly, "Where's she?"

"My wife is in the bedroom."

Water kept dripping down from Ji Yanxing's clothes, and the ends of his black hair were also dripping with water, which fell on his cold white skin, making people feel cold just by looking at him.

I walked up to the second floor and turned the doorknob of the master bedroom, and it was locked as expected.

He stood there for half a minute, walked into the second bedroom, adjusted the temperature to 16℃, then walked into the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature to the lowest, and poured cold water over his head.

There was not a trace of mist in the entire bathroom, and it was so cold that it felt like being in an ice cellar.

-

Yu Nian slept until one o'clock in the afternoon. When she woke up, she felt dizzy. She held her forehead, thinking that she had slept too much during this period.

Maybe it's the laziness in human nature that makes us instinctively want to escape when we encounter something we don't know how to do.

This sleep calmed her emotions. His attitude was so firm that she couldn't afford a head-on confrontation. If he insisted on maintaining this marriage, she could give in on the condition that she moved out and lived separately.

This is Yu Nian's bottom line. She can't force herself to live with him any longer.

Time is not only the best medicine for healing, but also the best weapon for forgetting. After separation, they can't see each other and no longer contact each other. No matter how much affection they have, it will be diluted.

It shouldn't take long. He didn't love her, he was just used to her existence. After she left, he might meet a passionate girl and it would become his new habit. By then, he would take the initiative to divorce her without her even mentioning it.

The deepest bond between them is habit. As long as she no longer adapts to his habits, this not-so-deep bond will slowly fade away.

Having made up his mind, Yu Nian had a direction. He got out of bed, changed his clothes, and opened the bedroom door.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she ran into Aunt Liu and her family doctor walking to the second bedroom. Aunt Liu was relieved when she saw her, "Madam, you are finally awake!"

"Mr. has a fever, 39.5℃," Aunt Liu said, "He didn't let me disturb your sleep, so I didn't call you. Now that you're awake, go see him!"

Yu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Let's go."

Aunt Liu hurriedly sighed and advised, "Madam, please don't be angry with your husband. He braved the heavy rain to pick up the ring and got soaked. Now he has a fever. He has been in good health since he was a child and rarely gets sick. This time he has such a serious fever. I guess it's a mental illness..."

Heart disease?

A self-torture tactic?

Yu Nian didn't respond and followed Aunt Liu into the second bedroom. The bodyguards at the door listened to him. It was reasonable for her to tell him before leaving.

In the second bedroom, after Yu Nian entered, he saw the man leaning on the bed. His face was still handsome and cold, but his complexion was a little pale, especially his lips, which were a bit sickly pale and looked indescribably fragile.

Hearing the noise at the door, Ji Yanxing lifted his eyelids and looked over. When he saw her, a hint of surprise and comfort flashed in his eyes. His voice was hoarse, "You're awake."

"..." Yu Nian frowned and asked the doctor, "How is he?"
