For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...
At this time, Xie Jing had no idea that her long-lost ex was about to show up and bring a lot of drama. She especially liked the days when her husband was not at home after getting married. She would go to the piano room after class every day.
At a certain time, Dali and Diandian would squat at the piano room door to remind her to eat on time. No one brought negative energy to her, and Xie Jing was happy every day because she could do what she loved.
Just thinking about Zhou Jiyun being away on a business trip for ten days and him coming back in five days, Xie Jing's shoulders slumped. She scratched Diandian's chin and said, "It's best when your husband isn't home, right? Don't you think so? I hope he can stay away for longer."
Zhou Jiyun, who was hiding behind his phone and spying, narrowly avoided a heart attack. How much did Xie Jing wish he wouldn't come home? He just took a break from his busy schedule to turn on the home surveillance camera to take a look. Usually at this time, Xie Jing was in the living room interacting with her pets.
Zhou Jiyun was both angry and amused when he heard this right after opening the phone. He turned off the surveillance camera at home and called Special Assistant Lin: "How many days do you think it will take to sign the contract?"
Assistant Lin's back tightened as he recalled the days since his business trip, how he'd been working tirelessly day and night. And now his boss wasn't satisfied? He was still thinking about going back quickly?
After carefully calculating the time, Special Assistant Lin replied cautiously, "We expect to sign the contract tomorrow. The other company has also suggested that they would like to invite you to visit Country Y after the contract is signed."
"I'll explain to the other party later," Zhou Jiyun took off his glasses and said, "Please book me a flight for tomorrow night."
"It's okay if you guys want to hang out here. I'll just go back first."
Special Assistant Lin immediately refused: "No, we'll go back with you. But boss, our original business trip was scheduled for half a month, and now we're going back early, so these extra days..."
Zhou Jiyun wasn't really a heartless capitalist. He smiled and said, "Then let's convert it into a holiday. I'll give you guys a break too."
The two executives next to Special Assistant Lin cheered, "Boss, you're so generous! I'll review the contract again and make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow!"
Xie Jing had no idea Zhou Jiyun was coming back early. She'd been commuting between school and home lately. As for the small apartment, Xie Jing rarely went there anymore. After all, her home was definitely more comfortable than the small apartment.
Once people have enjoyed themselves, they find it difficult to adapt to their old place again. Xie Jing was just like that. Because today's class was in the afternoon, Xie Jing slept peacefully until mid-morning.
Xie Jing felt relaxed, free from the need to wake up early. After a quick brunch, she settled into a balcony chair with the novel in her arms, sipping a pot of tea and reflecting on the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play.
Dali Tuan lay on Xie Jing's lap, occasionally shifting positions, her body rising and falling slowly with her breathing. Diandian insisted on sleeping on the carpet at Xie Jing's feet, occasionally opening her eyes to glance at Xie Jing, then closing them again to take a nap once she was sure she was right in front of her.
Because of the careful care, the fur on Dali's body is now gradually becoming finer, and she has already acquired the temperament of a great beauty.
Diandian can walk now, and he knows he can't use his injured hind legs. Therefore, at home you can often see a big spotted dog with a lame hind leg and a colorful civet on its head running around.
The alarm clock rang at three o'clock, and Diandian and Dali's ears moved at the same time, waking up Xie Jing, who was immersed in the novel. After turning off the alarm clock, Xie Jing stretched, and Dali jumped lightly from Xie Jing's lap and landed on Diandian's soft abdomen.
Diandian didn't chase it away, and even changed its posture to make Dali lie more comfortably.
Xie Jing reached out and pinched Dali's ear: "Don't bully it just because you have a good temper. You two should behave well at home. I have to go out for class. I'll come back to cook for you in the evening."
Dali called out softly: "Meow is a good kid, that's why I didn't bully Diandian."
Diandian shook his half-short tail and barked.
Xie Jing was in a good mood. After changing her clothes, she picked up the professional book on the coffee table and went out.
Compared to afternoon classes, Xie Jing still prefers 8 a.m. Although 8 a.m. requires getting up early, if she leaves home early, she will basically avoid the morning rush hour.
After her 8am class, Xie Jing had the rest of the time to herself. But that wasn't the case for her 3rd and 4th afternoon classes, because by the time she got home from class, it would be rush hour, and Xie Jing would be stuck in traffic.
The journey home, which usually takes half an hour, usually takes her over an hour. Especially with afternoon classes in mind, Xie Jing is constantly thinking about them during the day, and it's almost impossible for her to concentrate in the piano room.
After driving Zhou Jiyun's Maybach twice, Xie Jing couldn't stand the attention and later replaced it with her own Porsche. Although it is also a luxury car, it is not as luxurious as the Maybach.
Slamming the car door, Xie Jing strode towards the classroom. After finishing two professional classes today, Xie Jing left the classroom with her classmates. Strangely enough, Wang Cancan was very quiet today.
"What's wrong?" Xie Jing was confused. These days, she and Wang Cancan had basically been sitting at the same table, and Xie Jing was used to Wang Cancan's chatterbox nature. Now that the chatterbox had suddenly shut up, Xie Jing was a little surprised.
Wang Cancan's expression was a little conflicted: "Look over there."
Xie Jing followed Wang Cancan's lead and saw a tall, thin figure standing by the flower bed opposite the teaching building. He was wearing a casual jacket and a backpack, just like a typical student.
When he saw Xie Jing coming out, the other party hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards her with a clear purpose.
Xie Jing was a little surprised, but not too much: "Why is he here?"
Wang Cancan secretly looked at her expression. Seeing that Xie Jing didn't look unhappy, she gradually gained courage and said, "Actually, he arrived at school yesterday afternoon. It's just that we had an 8am class yesterday, and you went home as soon as the class was over, so he didn't run into you."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Xie Jing saw through Wang Cancan's gossipy heart. Could she let herself become a melon in the melon field? Xie Jing immediately refused without hesitation: "No, it's not a big deal. I can handle it myself."
Wang Cancan was reluctant to leave: "Then I'll be nearby. If he dares to bully you, I'll be the first to rush over!"
Xie Jing was helpless, "Whatever you want."
She knew that Wang Cancan insisted on having the first bite of the fresh and hot melon today. What else could Xie Jing do?
Watching He Shiyu approach step by step, Xie Jing's emotions didn't fluctuate much. She was a very decisive person. As long as someone hurt her, she would completely abandon them all.
No matter how painful the cutting was, she could give up completely. Indecision has never been Xie Jing's style, let alone dragging it out.
