Chapter 30 Now that we've talked things out, can we make up?
Sang Qian ate almost the entire bowl of noodles, and the warm, full feeling in her stomach lifted her spirits.
"sorry."
She was eating with her head down when an apology came from across the table.
Sang Qian paused for a moment, looked up at the man opposite her, and met a pair of sincere, self-reproachful dark eyes.
"I was wrong tonight, and I apologize to you."
Sang Qian's fingers holding the chopsticks suddenly curled up as she heard Jin Changyu continue, "I shouldn't have left you alone at the banquet because of other people and things."
She's pregnant, so she's more sensitive. He should stay by her side every step of the way and not upset her.
"Also, I shouldn't have forcefully carried you back; I should have asked for your opinion."
Jin Changyu looked at her and said, "But I hope you know that I don't mean to blame you. I just think that if you want to leave, you should tell me. I will accompany you home. You don't need to look for someone else."
The man opposite her seemed to have done some deep self-reflection, and he was making a self-criticism in front of her.
This was the first time Jin Changyu had apologized to her so solemnly, and Sang Qian was somewhat stunned.
Of course, they had always treated each other with respect in the past, and this was the first time they had ever had a dispute like today.
"But no matter what, I was in the wrong tonight. You can take your anger out on me, yell at me, hit me, or ask me to do anything."
Jin Changyu looked at her and said, "Don't keep your anger inside. Getting angry is bad for a pregnant woman's health."
Sang Qian's eyes froze for a moment.
It turns out that he bowed his head to admit his mistake because he was worried that she might have upset the baby and harmed the fetus.
But whatever the reason, since he has this attitude, she can't be unreasonable.
"I also made mistakes tonight."
Sang Qian lowered her eyelashes, put down her chopsticks, paused for a moment, and then whispered:
"I thought you didn't need me there anymore, and I happened to have some stomach discomfort at the time, so I left early..."
Jin Changyu's eyes narrowed. "Stomach upset? Why didn't you tell me?"
He suddenly stood up and walked to Sang Qian, squatted down and gently stroked her abdomen, then looked up at her anxiously, "How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you? Should we call the family doctor to come and check you out?"
Sang Qian was stunned by his sudden commotion.
Sang Qian only came back to her senses when she felt the warmth of his palm seep through her thin silk nightgown onto her skin.
She pulled the large hand off her abdomen. "No need, I've recovered already."
Jin Changyu's hand was pushed away, but he reached out and took the other person's slender white hand, saying with self-reproach, "It's all my fault. I should have stayed by your side tonight."
Even if you specifically hire a waiter to take care of her, it's still not a safe bet.
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian recalled Zhou Yunshuang's boastful words to her, "I'll be using his time quite a bit tonight," and her face turned cold. She forcefully pulled her hand away from his grasp.
"I don't need it."
She glanced at the man squatting beside her, her brows furrowing slightly. "Can you sit up straight and speak properly?"
Jin Changyu quickly got up and sat down in the chair next to him.
"The boy tonight is named Yan Guizhi. He is my senior sister's student. He was also attending the silver wedding anniversary banquet tonight. She saw me leaving alone and, out of kindness and politeness, offered to take me home."
Sang Qian continued to explain, "As for the divorce, I brought it up with him during the cooling-off period, not after we got the divorce certificate, so it doesn't count as violating our agreement."
"Currently, only three people around me know about the divorce," Sang Qian glanced at Jin Changyu, "Luo Luo, Da Hai, and Yan Guizhi, whom you met tonight."
"But don't worry, they won't tell anyone about our divorce."
After listening to her, Jin Changyu said softly, "Okay, I understand."
Jin Changyu knew that Su Luoluo and Tang Yuehai were her best friends, so he understood that Sang Qian would talk to them about the divorce.
Sang Qian is Jiang Congzheng's apprentice, and she also has a very close senior sister, which Sang Qian has mentioned to him before.
But Yan Guizhi is just her senior sister's student, so why would she tell him about her divorce?
Are she and this Yan Guizhi... very familiar?
Also, why is that guy so concerned about her marital status?
Jin Changyu was filled with questions, but he dared not ask Sang Qian in detail.
It's rare that she's willing to explain things to him calmly. What if he keeps asking questions and annoys her, and then she ignores him again?
"Now that we've talked things out, can we make up?"
He carefully observed Sang Qian's expression.
Sang Qian frowned slightly.
Using the word "make up" between them felt a bit strange, but undeniably, after the conversation was out in the open, she felt a lot of the pent-up frustration dissipate.
Anyway... let's just consider this matter over.
Jin Changyu interpreted these words as a willingness to reconcile with him.
With a look of joy on his face, he quickly added, "I promise you, from now on, no matter what occasion we attend, I will always stay by your side and there will never be a repeat of tonight's situation."
after?
She will never take on jobs like his again.
Sang Qian told him, word by word, "I will no longer accompany you to these occasions."
Jin Changyu paused for a moment, then nodded in strong agreement, his starry eyes darting around. "You're right. You're pregnant now, so it's really not suitable for you to go to crowded places."
To avoid bumping or hitting it.
Sang Qian, "..."
Was she referring to her pregnancy?
Jin Changyu didn't notice her speechless expression because his gaze fell on the bowl in front of Sang Qian.
"There's still noodles in the pot, shall I get you another bowl?"
Sang Qian immediately shook her head, "No need, I'm full."
"But thank you for the noodles anyway."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and reached for the bowl.
Jin Changyu asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, you wash the dishes after you finish eating."
Jin Changyu stood up and took the bowl from her hand. "You don't need to. I'll clean it up."
Before Sang Qian could say anything, the man carried the bowl to the kitchen, turning back to say, "You go upstairs and rest first."
"……good."
Since he said so, Sang Qian didn't stand on ceremony and turned to go upstairs.
Back in her room, she washed her face before going to bed and picking up her phone.
After unlocking, I saw an unread bank card text message.
She clicked on it and was surprised to see that her account had received a deposit...
"Ten million???"
Sang Qian was dumbfounded.
It's obvious who transferred the money without even asking.
Sang Qian immediately turned around and walked out. As she left the room, she saw Jin Changyu coming up from the first floor.
She stepped forward and asked, "Why did you transfer ten million to me?"
Jin Changyu: "That's your payment."
"Even if it's a reward, it shouldn't be ten million, right?"
"What happened tonight was entirely my fault, and I should compensate you double."
Sang Qian: "..."
She doesn't think her performance tonight is worth ten million.
"Don't do that, it makes me look like I'm faking an accident."
Sang Qian felt uneasy about accepting the money.
"I'll return it to you."
As she was looking down to unlock her phone to transfer the money back, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out and grasped hers.
Sang Qian's long eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly looked up, meeting the man's dark eyes.
"Don't refuse, just consider it a chance for me to apologize, okay?"
