Chapter 67

The part of her wrist where the bracelet was wrapped around it felt as hot as if it was burned by fire. Yue Qing hurriedly withdrew her hand. She kept feeling that Jiang Suizhi was still touching the inside of her wrist. Does this guy have any sense of boundaries?

She glared at Jiang Suizhi.

But the latter acted as if nothing had happened and said frankly: "This is a gift from us as friends, so why can't I accept it?"

What a good saying, my friend, Yueqing is so blocked that he doesn’t know what to do.

She just couldn't say no to a friend.

However, Jiang Suizhi also knew that he was about to piss people off, so he immediately stopped while he was ahead: "Do you still want to go back?"

"What else?" Yue Qing continued to hold the milk cup to give himself a sense of security, in case this man suddenly attacked again. "I'm just working here, not immigrating."

Even if she was really asked to stay away from her two children, she would still live in the country.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Yueqing's eyes.

The person opposite noticed: "You are laughing."

"No." Yue Qing half covered her face, her shoulders shaking with laughter. "That's too stupid, Jiang Suizhi."

“…”

Brother Jiang's lifelong reputation was ruined in just one night.

But seeing Yueqing smiling so happily, I felt it was not a big deal.

"Don't tell Jiang Hechang." He said with a sour face, "No one in the Jiang family can do that."

Otherwise he will be laughed at for the rest of his life and will never be able to recover.

Brother Jiang may not care about his face in front of his wife, but he must keep it in front of those pretentious people.

But after this incident, Jiang Ge decided to establish a family rule when he returned home, that is, everyone must keep a mouth, especially when facing major events.

Prevent things like what happened to Jiang Yan and the situation today from happening again.

Speaking of the Jiang family, Yue Qing's smile faded. She wasn't very familiar with Jiang Sui's father, but after spending time with him that day, she felt that he wasn't a difficult person to talk to. It was just true that he had asked the child's mother to leave before he was taken away.

She wasn't sure if there would be any restrictions on how she would interact with her children in the future.

"Your father..." She hesitated for a moment, "Does he mind my identity?"

Jiang Suizhi drank the soup in the bowl clean, took a piece of paper and slowly wiped his mouth, humming: "He has no right to mind."

"?"

"Because of Jiang Yan's incident, he has been stigmatized by the Jiang family." Jiang Sui said, "But there is one thing I still need to clarify. You said the brother and sister's mother is the person upstairs?"

In order to find Yueqing, he had asked Lin Shengxi to check all the information Annie could find.

This person grew up in the UK and doesn't speak Chinese, so it seems impossible for him to have any relationship with the children.

"If nothing unexpected happens, yes." Yue Qing nodded, "But now I have forgotten a lot of things between her and me, especially her."

Yueqing's memories before the age of five are a bit vague, but she remembers them clearly after the age of five.

As for Annie, she probably doesn't remember anything.

Yue Qing lowered her eyes and whispered, "So she will return home with me. Maybe she will remember everything."

"What are you worried about?"

As if his tail was stepped on, Yue Qing opened his eyes wide and shook his head: "Me?"

"Haven't you noticed?" Jiang Sui sat forward a little and pointed at her eyes. "When you feel uneasy, you tend to curl yourself up."

It's not really curling up, it's just activating the defense system.

It's like he didn't care about anything like before.

Yue Qing was silent for a moment, then couldn't help asking, "Long-term illness makes you a doctor, you know?"

Analyzing others like this.

"It's not a bad thing." Jiang Sui said, "As a friend, I should be able to talk to you about it."

Although he now knew that Annie might be more trustworthy in Yueqing's heart, if he could tell Annie about this, she would not react like this.

"Is it related to her?" Jiang Sui hesitated for half a second. "If it's true as you said, she is Jiang Yan's girlfriend, then I should have the right to know."

It seems so.

"I'm not worried." Yue Qing expressed her concerns, "But I think she will find it harder to accept the truth than I do."

"Why?"

"Because I can't think of any reason for someone to live under another person's name." Yue Qing paused, "I can't imagine why he owes me so much."

Could it be that Annie was involved in the death of her five-year-old self, making her feel guilty?

Jiang then understood that she was worried that Annie would feel even worse after the truth came out.

"Jiang Yan told me that the people he likes are confident and outspoken. I think people like that won't regret it even if they make a mistake." Jiang then stood up and walked over to her, sitting a little closer to her. "So no matter what happened in the past, I think she'll want to know. Avoiding it won't solve anything."

It was because of this thought that Yue Qing did not stop it.

She felt that no matter what happened, she would not blame Annie, because she was her sister who was going to become a family member with her.

She is the only one.

If I feel uneasy, Annie might also feel uneasy, so it’s better to explain it to her clearly.

"I'm going upstairs." She thought of something and quickly cleaned up the bowl that Jiang Sui had finished eating. Then she turned and walked upstairs. "You should go to bed early. I'll go to the room we were in."

I didn't expect that I just tried to persuade someone and ended up persuading him to leave.

Brother Jiang felt very frustrated and thought he could take this opportunity to chat for a while.

"Oh, right." Yue Qing turned back after taking two steps. "When are you leaving?"

Jiang Suizhi: "?"

"The misunderstanding has been explained." Yue Qing also looked at him puzzledly, "Don't you need a job?"

"……need."

Brother Jiang covered his head and throat, very weak: "But people are born, grow old, get sick and die."

Yueqing: "I just made noodles for two people."

You don't even have any soup left.

Old people often say that having an appetite means that the illness is getting better.

Yue Qing thinks it is not okay to have too much time to work while focusing on love. Nothing should interfere with important work.

"Jiang Suizhi." She frowned, "If I affect your normal life rhythm, then you'd better not pursue me."

Brother Jiang stood there in confusion.

What's going on.

How come the progress bar that just shortened suddenly lengthened again!

He just wanted to see her!

First time falling in love, first love!

What's wrong with being a little love-brained?

Why do you treat yourself the same way you treat your children?

At this moment, Brother Jiang finally began to reflect on how cruel he was in forcing his two children to change their bad habit of not liking kindergarten.

He felt the pain of not wanting to go to work.

But facing Yue Qing's increasingly disapproving gaze, Jiang Suizhi had no choice but to swallow his anger and say, "I'll go back tomorrow."

Only then was Yueqing satisfied and turned to go upstairs.

After leaving the room to Jiang Suizhi, she could only sleep in the same bed with Annie.

Maybe because he sleeps with his two children, Yueqing is not as averse to close contact with others as he was in the past.

She pushed the door open carefully and found that the light in the room was still on. Annie was not asleep yet, but was playing a video on her mobile phone.

These are the short videos that the children posted online. It seems that these two children have become addicted to the Internet again. They post many videos a day, which are too many to watch. They almost post their entire day's movements in segments.

"I haven't watched it for several days." Yue Qing walked over. "Where did you hear it?"

"You ask them to go to work." Annie put down her phone and made room for her naturally, quite expertly. "Are you done talking?"

Yue Qing paused and said, "Hmm."

"You should feel good about him," Annie said.

Yueqing explained: "We were friends before this."

"But you also said that it's hard for you to say no to friends."

Yue Qing threw back the quilt and lay down, looking at the ceiling, nodding and shaking her head: "But it's different from feelings."

"That puts my mind at ease." Annie breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you would be coaxed away by him."

These words made Yue Qing blush. After all, she was an adult in her twenties. How could she be coaxed away by just a few words!

Annie added: "Putting aside his brain, I admire his approach."

"What?"

"You try everything for the one you love." Annie said with some approval, "That's great. Love is only love when it's felt by others."

Yueqing blinked.

I want to say that I not only felt it, but was forced to hear it over and over again.

The other person's eyes were real, especially after he knew that she was not his brother's girlfriend, he did not hide it at all.

Only then did Yue Qing realize how reserved Jiang Suizhi had been in the past.

She shrank into the quilt, not wanting to think about him anymore, and deliberately said, "He still wants to be the child's stepfather."

"..." Annie was quiet for a few seconds, then said, "Forget it, I can't let it go."

Yue Qing couldn't help laughing, looking at the phone that was still playing the video: "After returning home, do you want to go see them? If you don't want to go to the Jiang family, you should be able to bring them out."

Listening to the children's innocent voices coming from the phone, Annie closed her eyes and said, "I have never been a mother."

I can’t recall the ten months of pregnancy, nor do I have any memories of spending time with my children.

She was worried that even if she saw her children, she would not be able to give them the unconditional love of a mother.

If that's the case, it's better not to meet for now.

That's why she listens to the voices of her two children over and over again.

But their voices were still strange to her.

Yueqing asked, "Do you want to see me?"

The room fell silent for a few seconds before Annie sighed helplessly, "Of course."

Ever since she knew she might have two children, even though she didn't show it outwardly to make people worry, she was thinking about it all the time and worried that she wouldn't be able to give them the best possible relationship.

The child is different from his sister. His sister is an adult and they have shared memories of the past.

But the child has no idea about her.

She had no way to fill it.

"Then let's meet." Yue Qing said softly, "When I first came here, I was always hesitant. Even if the children were nice to me, I would be very anxious, worried that I would have to leave them in the future. It wasn't until this incident that I realized that once you accept someone, it's hard to let go."

So even though she knew that she was not the children's biological aunt, she could not completely cut off ties with the two children.

This time it was a fluke, but what about the future? Who can guarantee when the next accident will come?

Annie's wavering heart was affirmed by the other party, and she smiled and said, "Okay, let's meet."

The adults, who are already in their twenties, are lying together at this moment, and they can still vaguely recall the scene when they were children, squeezing in the same small bed.

Yue Qing took care of Annie and Jiang Suiji today and was so tired that she fell asleep quickly.

Only Annie couldn't sleep and kept patting the quilt from time to time.

I vaguely saw the two children doing the same thing many years ago, except that it was Yueqing who was gently patting her quilt: "Don't be afraid, sister. We will be together from now on. I will coax you to sleep."

Annie smiled silently in the darkness and gradually fell asleep.

-

Yue Qing did not stay in the UK for long this time. One reason was that she had finished her work, the second reason was that she wanted to take Annie back to China, and the third reason was... she suspected that Jiang Suizhi did not need to sleep.

After the meeting every day, he still has time to drive to the place where she is filming, and he is better at following people than the camera.

Yueqing had no choice but to slip away as a sign of respect.

But she learned her lesson this time. Before leaving, she called Jiang Suiji and told him that she would take Annie back home after finishing her work, and asked him not to look for her again.

Jiang Suiyi responded casually a few times on the other end of the phone, but it was unclear whether he heard it or not.

Annie didn't have any real estate in China, so Yue Qing had no choice but to take her back to their original house. "This house was bought with the children's support. I'll transfer it to your name in a few days."

Although she couldn't see, Annie could smell the faint scent of flowers and milk powder in the house.

She raised her eyebrows: "I need a house?"

If she didn't want to come back with Yueqing, she wouldn't lack a place to live.

"I haven't remembered it yet. Even if I did, I would just buy it for you instead of taking it back." Annie rubbed her head. "Don't say such things again in the future."

Yueqing: "..."

Her friends, sisters, uncles and grandfathers often buy houses and give her cards.

I really feel out of place.

Without money, I could only make do with my strength. Yue Qing pushed the suitcase into the room and said, "I'll put your things in the master bedroom first."

The house is quite small, so we can't bring too many nannies.

Annie couldn't bring her maids from abroad over because of the language barrier, so she originally planned to find new ones after she arrived.

She was groping her way towards Yueqing to help, but suddenly heard the doorbell ring, so she had to turn back to open the door.

She pressed the doorbell and asked, "Who's there?"

No one answered.

Annie frowned.

Suddenly, the little girl's low voice came out: "Grandpa, please squat down a little bit. You are too tall. My aunt won't be surprised when she sees you."

"I'm already very short." The old man's voice was very helpless. "If I get any shorter, I'll have to lie down."

The little boy was also helpless: "Then Grandpa, lie down."

There was rustling at the door, afraid that others couldn't hear what they were doing.

Annie's fingers on the door handle trembled slightly, not knowing whether she should go back and call Yueqing out or just open the door.

Until the little girl's puzzled voice came from outside again: "Auntie, why didn't you open the door? Was it Auntie who was snoring just now?"

As they are only in kindergarten, they obviously haven't been exposed to very advanced English vocabulary.

"That's English. It's asking who you are?" the old man said. "You can't open the door without seeing anyone outside. Didn't your teacher teach you that?"

"Oh, yeah." Xiao Le'an thought for a moment, then said in a pinched voice, "An'an is not An'an!"

Annie: “…”

This shouldn't be her child.

She opened the door with a click and looked towards the ground, only to see darkness.

But suddenly there was a noise in my ears.

My legs were also hugged by two soft hands: "Woooooo!"

"Auntie, surprise! An An is An An!"

Annie's heart moved slightly, and at that moment her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a warm current that she had never experienced before.

Feeling the little face rubbing against her legs, she used the most gentle voice in her life: "I'm not your aunt."

The two kids hugging their legs and rubbing against each other didn't understand, but the sound was wrong, so they looked up in confusion: "Huh?"

Jiang Hechang, who stood up with his old waist, also saw the girl's face and sunglasses at this moment. His eyes paused and he blurted out subconsciously: "Le..."

No, it wasn’t the Yueqing he had seen before. She looked different.

But the girl's dress and temperament gave him a momentary illusion.

Annie, who heard the voice, also looked over. Out of politeness, she took off her sunglasses, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you Jiang Yan's father?"

Triggering the key words, Jiang Hechang inexplicably got goosebumps all over his body. He felt like he was confronting someone in the box again, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

I wanted to run, but I couldn't.

He coughed lightly and said in English, "That's what he called me."

Annie nodded.

The brother and sister realized they were holding the wrong person and quickly let go. An An looked up and asked curiously, "Who is the beautiful aunt?"

Annie moved her lips.

But there was no way to tell her his identity.

Could it be that I could be their mother?

Although An An doesn't understand English, the teacher also teaches his parents English on the reading machine and in kindergarten.

She looked into the eyes of the beautiful aunt in front of her. The familiar yet unfamiliar word "Mom" made her forget for a moment that she had to hide the fact that her eyes were special. She blinked slowly and said, "Mom?"

Jiang Hechang: “???”

After a few seconds of silence, he only had time to grasp one key point in his shocked and confused state of mind: no banquet yet, no apology yet!

I'm going to be isolated again!

Jiang Hechang spoke faster than he could think: "But now they usually don't call me dad."

Well, just call the name directly.
