Five years later, Ji Yuqi can still clearly and deeply recall the last time she saw Pei Yucheng - the day she followed Lu Yanjing to leave the imperial capital.
At the airport.
She vomited so much that she was dizzy.
She was only six weeks pregnant, but the severe early pregnancy reaction made her unable to even drink a sip of water.
She lay on the toilet, barely breathing, looking so weak that she didn't look like a human at all.
Although the joy of becoming a mother for the first time was happy enough, the extremely uncomfortable early pregnancy reaction also tortured her enough.
Especially half an hour ago, a man suddenly broke into the women's bathroom, scaring all the women in the bathroom to scream.
Everyone scolded him: "Pervert!"
But Ji Yuqi stared at the man with envy from beginning to end.
His wife, also pregnant, was standing at the sink, vomiting violently.
He stayed by her side, handing her water and tissues. He was completely at a loss and kept blaming himself, saying, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you get pregnant. I shouldn't have made you so miserable. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the baby."
Ji Yuqi lay weakly on the toilet, looking through the half-open cubicle door at the man who was so anxious and distressed that his eyes were red, and the grievances in his heart were flooding.
She couldn't help but think: If Pei Yucheng knew that she was pregnant at this moment, how would he react? Would he be as anxious and distressed as that man?
However, Pei Yucheng has a cold personality and will probably remain indifferent.
After receiving a call from Lu Yanjing, Ji Yuqi came out of the bathroom and saw a tall and handsome familiar figure standing not far from the door.
Hearing the noise, the shadow immediately turned its head. Reflecting the bright lights of the airport and the golden sunset passing through the window, Pei Yucheng's face appeared mottled, deep, and thin in the light and shadow.
It had been only half a month since they last met at the entrance of the coffee shop. Pei Yucheng, who was usually cold and arrogant, and exuded an unattainable and noble aura, now looked tired and haggard.
He stood there without moving, just looking at her with his bloodshot eyes.
It took a long time before he took another step.
When he got closer, Ji Yuqi could see clearly: he always liked to be clean and tidy, but his chin was covered with dense blue stubble, and his lower eyelid was covered with a layer of black shadow.
That day, he said three sentences to her in total.
The first sentence: "Ji Yuqi, I compromised."
Second sentence: "The 1 billion betrothal gift that the Lu family gave to the Ji family, I will give you ten times as much. Ji Yuqi, come with me today."
The third sentence...
Over the years, every time Ji Yuqi thought of that sentence, his heart was bleeding.
He said, "Ji Yuqi, I will never look at you again in this life."
Ye Family Restaurant.
In the lobby on the first floor, a furious roar suddenly erupted: "What's wrong with you?! When you turned around, didn't you even check to see if there was anyone behind you?! I ordered a birthday cake for my boyfriend a whole week in advance, and you just knocked it to the ground."
Ji Yuqi's face was pale and he stood there for a long time without moving.
Her gaze fell quietly on the phone screen that fell next to the cake.
Ji Niancheng's anxious little face was still printed on it.
When Ji Yuqi first showed Li Tong Pei Yucheng's photo, she heard Li Tong exclaim, "Fuck! Pei Yucheng's genes are simply too strong. A son looks exactly like him. It's clear they were carved from the same mold."
At this moment, her heart was still beating like a drum, violently and loudly.
However, her intense reactions seemed ridiculous at this moment in the quiet and deserted lobby.
She was completely terrified, but Pei Yucheng led everyone and marched past in a mighty procession, then rushed towards the elevator door like a black tsunami.
When he passed by her, his cold eyes never fell on her for a second. His cold and indifferent look made it seem as if he had never met her before.
After Ji Fengran and Su Ya passed away, she took Ji Niancheng to many cities in Country M to seek medical treatment.
During her most miserable days, she lived under a bridge, living a life that was three parts human and seven parts ghost.
But every time she stood on a strange street, she couldn't help but deceive herself into imagining her future relationship with Pei Yucheng: friends who could talk about anything; caring relatives; close husband and wife...
She had many, many fantasies.
But she didn't expect that he would really not look at her again, just as he said five years ago...
…
Inside the rapidly rising elevator.
Xu Ze raised his eyes to look at Pei Yucheng again, trying to catch the subtle changes in his expression. However, Pei Yucheng's handsome face was completely devoid of any emotion, except for the usual coldness and indifference between his eyebrows.
Song Tingqi glanced cautiously at Pei Yucheng several times, then lowered his voice and said to Xu Ze, "Did you hear what that woman surnamed Ji said just now? What about the father who only loves children and won't have children with other men? From the tone of her voice, it seems that she wants to remain a virgin for that dead man. Then what is our Cheng Ye to her in her heart?! She spent four whole years, just to play with our Ye Ye?! I don't understand, such a scumbag woman, why would Ye Ye let her live?!"
The murderous intent in Song Tingqi's eyes was cold and fierce.
Of course, the sympathy is real sympathy.
Their grandfather had suffered so much in the past.
Xu Ze pursed his lips tightly. He observed Pei Yucheng's expression and had no intention of speaking.
When Song Tingqi came over and wanted to say something else, Xu Ze interrupted him softly: "So what?! Will our master even look down at her now?!"
