"It's just... he's emotionally detached. It's like nothing in the world matters to him except work. He won't get angry no matter how outrageous the thing." After saying that, Ji Tong added, "Except for his ex-girlfriend!"
Xu Wan was somewhat surprised, "Dr. Gong has contacted his ex-girlfriend again?"
Ji Tong and Gong Yanli had some interaction a few years ago.
Xu Wan thought something would happen between the two of them, but because of Gong Yanli's ex-girlfriend and Ji Tong's intolerant personality, the two of them have not been in contact.
We only recently got back in touch.
If something else happens, then there might be absolutely no chance for the two of them.
Although Xu Wan didn't have much dating experience, she had known Ji Tong for a long time, and Gong Yanli was the opposite sex she had mentioned the most.
This shows that Ji Tong's feelings for Gong Yanli are different.
Ji Tong didn't hold back and recounted what happened that night.
"I know it was my fault. I shouldn't have done that because I was so angry with his ex-girlfriend. But actually, I didn't touch him anywhere. The power went out because he forgot to pay the electricity bill, and that's when I accidentally touched him!"
After Ji Tong finished his self-criticism, he said angrily, "But you can see it too, right? His ex-girlfriend broke the law, and he's still protecting her. He got dumped and he's still acting like a simp. I've never seen a man like this before!"
"...If Dr. Gong has someone he can't let go of, then he's definitely not a good partner."
Xu Wan didn't know how to comfort Ji Tong.
She doesn't understand Gong Yanli, but if Gong Yanli hasn't let go of his ex, then he's really not suited to start a new relationship.
"He better never let go, he deserves it, he deserves it!"
Ji Tong became increasingly angry as he spoke.
Xu Wan quickly pushed the teacup full of tea towards her, "Drink tea, drink tea, calm down."
Ji Tong took a sip of tea, looked up at the office, and then asked, "Wanwan, your law firm will be located here from now on, right?"
"That's the current arrangement."
Xu Wan felt that she probably couldn't find a more suitable place than this, and it was unlikely that she would have a better choice.
Ji Tong put down her teacup. "It's only a little over two kilometers from my house. If Gong Yanli and I are ever found out about our fake relationship, and she keeps nagging me about it on weekends, I'll come over here to hang out, okay?"
Xu Wan: "You're welcome anytime."
The two of them stayed there until after six o'clock when the sun was about to set before going home.
Today is Saturday, so Xiaoxiao doesn't have to go to kindergarten.
When Xu arrived home late, the children were still sitting in front of the TV watching cartoons.
After dinner, Xiaoxiao sat in her room drawing, making sure to keep her children's watch by her side.
Jiang Tingzhou recently underwent surgery, which was very successful.
He is currently doing rehabilitation training every day, and as agreed, he calls Xu Wan and Xiao Xiao at 9:00 AM China time every day.
In the two weeks that followed, I didn't get vaccinated only on the day of the surgery.
In order to prepare a gift for Jiang Tingzhou's next meeting, Xiaoxiao has been drawing after dinner these days, but she is not satisfied with any of the several paintings she has drawn.
It's 8:30 now.
Xiao Xiao packed her things on time, brushed her teeth and washed her face, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on the bed to wait for Jiang Tingzhou's call.
For the past few weeks, Jiang Tingzhou's phone calls had been coming in at 9 p.m. sharp.
With just a few minutes left until nine o'clock, Xiaoxiao was already holding her smartwatch, staring at the time, waiting for her call.
Xu Wan was also by her side.
Time passed second by second.
When the time on Xiaoxiao's phone changed from 8:59 to 9:00, the phone did not ring as expected.
Xiao Xiao was not discouraged.
By 9:05, Jiang Tingzhou still hadn't called.
Xiao Xiao scrunched up her little face and looked at Xu Wan, "Mommy, why didn't Daddy call me today?"
