In the evening, Qin Huan calculated the time difference and made a video call to Qin Zhiyi, a little kid who was far away in the UK.
Nanny Ruiya was taking care of her while she was eating. There were a few white rice grains on the corners of the child's mouth. When she saw Qin Huan in the video, she smiled and rushed to the phone.
"Mommy, I miss you so much!"
Qin Huan's heart was almost melted by her.
"Mommy misses you too."
"So, Mommy, when will you come to pick me up?"
Qin Huan thought about it,
"Once Mommy has settled down here and found a suitable kindergarten for Yi Yi, I'll pick you up right away, okay?"
Qin Zhiyi nodded, her chubby cheeks trembling with her movements, making her look extremely cute.
"Okay, then you have to hurry up, Mommy."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Huan took out the photos of Yi Yi from the camera and looked through them carefully.
The pair of eyes and eyebrows that were so similar to Jiang Jingchu made her unable to let go, but also made her distracted many times. She didn't know whether returning to Beicheng this time was the right decision.
Ueno, the most popular internet-famous bar in the northern part of the city in recent years.
Jiang Jingchu was leaning lazily on the sofa in the booth, with several empty bottles of Romanee-Conti on the coffee table in front of him.
Han Xian arrived late, and when he saw this situation, the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
"Master Jiang is so generous. If my bar could have a few more customers like you every day, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams."
Jiang Jingchu didn't even blink when he heard that.
Han Xian was good at observing people's expressions and immediately noticed something was wrong. Although this gentleman was usually a man of few words, his mood was obviously even lower today.
He suppressed the cynicism on his face, looked at Xiang Yuan suspiciously, and asked him what was going on using lip language.
Xiang Yuan shrugged.
"Who knows? He won't tell me when I ask him, and just keeps asking me to drink with him."
Han Xian felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar. Five years ago, after that person left, Jiang Jingchu was in this state, and it lasted for several months.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened. He kicked Xiang Yuan who was lying on the side and squeezed in to sit next to Jiang Jingchu.
"This is, met?"
Jiang Jingchu understood the nonsense immediately.
The wine glass that was brought to his lips paused for a moment, his eyelids slightly lifted, and he asked back,
"You knew she was back?"
"Nonsense. I'm getting married next month with her best friend Zhou Tiantian."
It turns out that this is why I came back.
Jiang Jingchu nodded and poured the remaining wine down his throat in one gulp.
The burning sensation slid down his throat into his stomach, and his entire chest felt dry. He tugged at the buttons on his collar, and only then did he feel better.
"I say, it's been five years, so much time has passed. You can't let a girl hide away forever and never come home, right?"
Home? Is there a home for her in North City?
Jiang Jingchu snorted lightly, and a thick black color swirled in his narrow eyes.
"Her legs are on her own. When did I stop her from coming back?"
Han Xian was stunned, thinking, are you pretending to have amnesia? Where did the energy you had when you threatened me go?
Jiang Jingchu laughed at himself, his voice low and deep.
"Besides, with her personality, do you think she can be scared by just one word from me?"
That's true.
Who in the entire second-generation circle of North City doesn’t know that the prince of the Jiang family, who always looked down on others and had smooth sailing, suffered the only setback he ever suffered at the hands of a girl?
Han Xian sighed, glanced at Jiang Jingchu who was drinking wine as if it were water, and exchanged a glance with Xiangdong.
"So what are you trying to do now? Revenge, or get her back? Don't forget, you and Ji Jingya are already engaged."
"Engagement, so what?"
Jiang Jingchu casually raised his eyelids, stood up, grabbed his coat, and didn't even look back.
"I'm leaving now. You're responsible for the drinks tonight."
Han Xian: ? ?
After reacting,
Damn! Why? What does your ex-girlfriend Jiang Jingchu coming back have to do with me?
When Qin Huan woke up in the morning, she felt that the pain in her feet not only did not ease, but instead a piercing itch arose.
When I lifted my foot, I saw a horrifying red rash covering the entire instep and calf.
Fearing that something more serious might happen, she took a day off from work and took a taxi to the hospital.
It was the peak season for visits to the hospital, and the entire outpatient hall was packed with people.
She dragged her painful foot up and down the stairs several times before finally getting a number.
Jiang Jingchu was also in the hospital at this time.
I haven't drunk so much in a long time. In the middle of the night, my stomach hurt so much that I was sent to the hospital by Gao Fei at three in the morning.
After the IV drip and a short nap, I felt a little better.
While waiting at the door for Gao Fei to drive over to pick him up, he saw a familiar figure.
He was carrying a bag of medicine in his hand and jumping down the stairs.
Jiang Jingchu frowned slightly, looked at the foot she was standing on, and then glanced behind her. There was no one there, as if no one was accompanying her.
For some unknown reason, he moved forward a few steps, and at that moment, Gao Fei's car drove in front of him.
"Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Jingchu suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the figure deeply, and got into the car.
Gao Fei didn't notice Jiang Jingchu's momentary distraction just now, and relayed the doctor's words to Jiang Jingchu truthfully.
"Mr. Jiang, you had gastric bleeding a few years ago. The doctor said you shouldn't drink alcohol. You should take care of your health."
The car was as quiet as a chicken, and Jiang Jingchu didn't even utter a single syllable.
Han Xian bravely glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Boss was looking at it with an unclear expression.
He looked in the direction of his gaze suspiciously, and could only vaguely see the slender figure of a woman, gradually shrinking into a black dot.
Gao Fei pursed his lips and spoke again.
"I've already arranged your itinerary for today. Now, are you going back to Hengfeng Jiayuan to rest?"
Jiang Jingchu closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
"No, go to the company."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden rattling sound on the car window, and each sound became louder and louder.
Gao Fei tutted and muttered softly,
"Why does this rain never stop falling?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingchu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the pedestrians outside the car who were running to avoid the rain, and gritted his teeth in annoyance.
She suddenly lowered her crossed legs, sat up straight and said to Gao Fei,
"Turn around."
Turn around? It's the morning rush hour now, and the cars behind me are all tied up in a long queue. Turning back would really waste time.
Gao Fei asked tentatively,
"Did you leave anything at the hospital? I'll send someone to get it later."
Jiang Jingchu glanced at him coldly.
"Turn around. I don't want to say the same thing for the third time."
Qin Huan felt that she was really unlucky. Not only did she twist her ankle, but she also had an allergic reaction to the spray. When she took a taxi out of the hospital, she was drenched in rain.
The spring rain was damp and cold by nature, and it hit her body densely and finely, soon penetrating through her clothes and into her skin. Qin Huan couldn't help but shiver, hugging her arms and shrinking into the bus stop.
People kept pushing their way into the platform. Qin Huan felt that as a remnant, she might not be able to get on the bus.
She sighed and looked around, thinking about finding a nearby convenience store to sit down and rest, when suddenly a black Cullinan slowly drove up the side of the road and stopped right in front of her.
Everyone didn't understand why this luxury car was parked at the bus stop, and they all stretched their necks to look at it.
The car window rolled down, revealing a resolute and cold profile.
"Get in the car."
Jiang Jingchu didn't even glance at Qin Huan. He just opened his thin lips and uttered two stiff words.
Qin Huan stood there without moving, as if she was still a little overwhelmed by Jiang Jingchu's sudden appearance.
Just then, the bus behind was about to enter the platform, but because of the Cullinan blocking the way, it was stuck behind and couldn't pass.
The man turned his head impatiently, his cold eyes seeming to look into Qin Huan's eyes through the rain.
"Get in the car. Do you want me to get out and treat you?"
"Hurry up, there's a ready-made bus, why are you still waiting here and delaying our bus?"
Qin Huan was in a dilemma. She didn't want to get into Jiang Jingchu's car, but she couldn't stand the people talking about her. Finally, she took a deep breath and jumped to the passenger seat.
As a result, he pulled the car door and found it was locked. He turned his head to look at Jiang Jingchu, then jumped back to the back door resignedly.
Qin Huan got into the car, wrapped in cold and wet clothes. The huge temperature difference between inside and outside the car made her sneeze.
Jiang Jingchu frowned in disgust and threw a cashmere shawl to her.
Qin Huan glanced at the one that was obviously women's style and didn't move.
Jiang Jingchu sneered and thought to himself, it doesn't matter, he can wear it or not, it's not him who is cold anyway.
After a pause, I felt even more unhappy.
"Why, your boyfriend is so busy that he doesn't even have time to come to the hospital with you?"
