Extra: Grow Old Together in This Life (Part 2)



Jiang Zhaosu sent a private message to Duan Yuanyuan on the platform.

When she heard that she wanted to buy a villa, Duan Yuanyuan responded to her enthusiastically.

In fact, the villa introduced by Duan Yuanyuan is not in Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing’s current residence, but in a tourist city.

However, the housing prices there are not expensive. Jiang Zhaosu thought that even if he didn't live there permanently, it would be nice to buy a house and go there on vacation occasionally.

After agreeing on a time to view the house with Duan Yuanyuan, Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing bought plane tickets and flew to the city where Duan Yuanyuan was.

This is the southern region, and even in winter, the climate is relatively warm and humid.

After all, so many years have passed, and the appearance of Duan Yuanyuan and Jiang Zhaosu in their memories is different.

Compared with her pale and slender appearance in the apocalypse, Duan Yuanyuan is now a lot rounder, but her facial features are still bright and beautiful, and she looks in good spirits.

She still loves dressing up.

When Jiang Zhaosu saw the woman again, Duan Yuanyuan was wearing a bright red coat, with delicate makeup and a bunch of blooming yellow roses in her arms. She smiled and greeted Jiang Zhaosu: "Ms. Jiang, hello, I am Duan Yuanyuan."

As she spoke, Duan Yuanyuan stuffed the yellow roses in her arms into Jiang Zhaosu's arms and said, "This is a meeting gift for you."

Jiang Zhaosu didn't expect there would be a gift. He took the flowers flattered and said, "Wow, these flowers are so beautiful! Thank you. I'm sorry for the expense."

"No, no, you guys are the ones who are wasting money by flying all the way here to look at houses."

As a real estate agent, Duan Yuanyuan is good at speaking and handling things, and she enthusiastically introduced the houses she had to Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing.

Jiang Zhaosu was also very straightforward. After looking at several houses, he decided on the small villa with a hot spring that he liked at first sight and paid the deposit readily.

After that, Duan Yuanyuan was even more delighted.

On the way back, Jiang Zhaosu felt a little hungry, so he asked Duan Yuanyuan if there were any good restaurants.

Duan Yuanyuan recommended a few to her and said, "By the way, there's a dessert shop nearby. My daughter especially loves the little cakes there."

"You already have a daughter?!" Jiang Zhaosu said in shock.

"Yes," Duan Yuanyuan said with a smile, "I'm in my thirties, of course I have a daughter. Do you and your husband have any children?"

Jiang Zhaosu looked up and exchanged glances with Qi Xing.

They had discussed this before.

Although they were happy to have a child by their side, they both knew their own temperaments well and had no confidence in taking responsibility for a new life.

What's more, Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing are different from ordinary people. The more ties they create in this world, the more difficult their future life will be, so they finally decided to live in a world of two people.

But in today's society, couples who do not want children are still a minority, and sometimes they are inevitably questioned.

So after receiving Jiang Zhaosu's gaze, Qi Xing immediately understood what he meant, and a trace of indescribable grief appeared on his face. He replied to Duan Yuanyuan: "I feel a little..."

Jiang Zhaosu also put his hand on his forehead and sighed at the right time.

Duan Yuanyuan's eyes immediately turned sympathetic as she looked at them: "Is that so... I'm sorry, I spoke too much."

"It's okay." Duan Yuanyuan comforted them, "There are many couples who don't want children nowadays. You are so loving, it would be great if you two could live a sweet and happy life together."

At this point, Duan Yuanyuan also sighed: "Actually, I envy you guys. It wasn't easy for me to raise my daughter alone."

Jiang Zhaosu:!!!

Why is it just one person? Where is the child's father?

Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Zhaosu invited Duan Yuanyuan to sit for a while in a cafe she recommended, and listened to her talk about her life over the years.

The end of the world did not come, so Qin Feng went to meet Duan Yuanyuan, and then the two of them got together.

They had been dating for half a year and were about to get married, but conflicts were growing. Duan Yuanyuan wanted to break up with Qin Feng again, but then she found out she was pregnant. They then got married, nurtured the pregnancy, and gave birth to the child without thinking.

Although there was a sweet time, the main conflict between them has never been resolved.

Qin Feng's salary was low, and Duan Yuanyuan worked in sales. Her health took a toll after she became pregnant, and her sales performance plummeted. With the baby, household expenses increased, and arguments continued.

After four or five years of this chaos, the feelings they had for each other were finally worn out and they divorced.

Afterwards, Duan Yuanyuan asked her parents to help take care of the child while she worked outside. Later, when her life got better, she took her daughter to live with her.

Duan Yuanyuan also showed Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing a photo of her daughter.

A very pretty girl, who has perfectly inherited Duan Yuanyuan's beauty and Qin Feng's long legs. Like Duan Yuanyuan, she smiles brightly and gracefully at the camera.

"My daughter is so outstanding. She ranks among the top three in every subject at school. She even said she would use her scholarship to buy me jewelry."

When mentioning her daughter, Duan Yuanyuan's face was full of happiness. She kept telling Jiang Zhaosu how sensible and considerate her daughter was, which made Qi Xing's teeth ache.

Duan Yuanyuan didn't stop and answer the phone until she received a call from a colleague.

"Sister Yuanyuan, didn't you go to meet a client? Why haven't you come back yet? Did something happen?" A young male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, no, the client said she was hungry. I'll have something to eat with her and then I'll go back to the company to sign the contract."

The person on the other end seemed a little worried: "Are you alone? Are you a male or female customer? Otherwise, I'll come over to pick you up."

"A couple, it's okay."

The person over there still insisted on coming, so Duan Yuanyuan had to tell him the address and specially packed a snack for the man. She smiled embarrassedly at Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing, saying that young people nowadays seemed to like sweet food.
