Chapter 467: Meeting the Dean
My fingers clenched the phone tightly, and my fingertips turned white little by little.
He tried hard to calm himself down.
Only this woman can make him lose control!
He didn't speak.
The two were in a stalemate.
"Brother Bochuan, it's me, Shanshan." The voice on the other end was soft and weak with a crying tone.
"My dear Princess, why are you calling me so late at night? What's the matter?"
"Brother Bochuan, do you really have to talk like this?"
Zhong Bochuan sneered: "The Independent State's Grand Princess called me, I really shouldn't have said that. Then may I ask, Princess, it's so late, aren't you afraid that the Grand Prince will be angry if you call a man?"
There was a chuckle from the other side.
"Are you jealous?"
The voice is cute.
His face darkened, as if something had happened.
"Nothing else, I'm hanging up. My wife is still resting."
"Ji Siman? You don't love her."
"If I don't love her, how can I love a woman who betrayed me?"
After that, he hung up the phone.
When I returned to the bedroom, I saw Ji Siman standing by the window. She was wearing a thin nightgown and her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
His heart skipped a beat: "Why did you get up?"
Ji Siman didn't turn around, just looked out the window.
"The moon is so round today."
He followed his line of sight and looked out: "The Lantern Festival is naturally round."
"Is it her who called?"
"You know?"
She turned around slowly, smiled miserably, and looked like a fragile doll.
"Does marrying me make you unhappy?"
Zhong Bochuan pressed his brows and recalled what Ye Jinmo said when he was in the hospital last time.
Her body couldn't take any more stimulation.
"Don't think too much, it's not happening."
"If it weren't for this child, we wouldn't be getting married. Zhong Bochuan, after the child is born and registered, we'll get divorced. There's no need to hold a wedding. The due date is in March. If you hold on for a few more days, you can get rid of me."
She pushed his hand away, turned back to the bed and lay down, tears streaming down her eyes and falling onto the pillow.
Her hands covered her stomach.
She had to keep this child.
The last time Ye Jinmo was leaving, she mentioned that her uterine wall was too thin. If she had a miscarriage, it would cause irreversible damage to her body and might lead to lifelong infertility.
Thinking of this, she slowly clenched the quilt with her fingers, thinking about what to do next.
It was expected that I would face off against Meng Shanshan.
That woman was not a good person in the first place, but she didn't expect that she could be close to the royal family.
But now it seems that she doesn't have much power, otherwise she wouldn't think of Zhong Bochuan.
When people get better things, they will naturally become tired of the old and no longer look back at the old things.
Her little movements were all seen by Zhong Bochuan.
He was a little irritated.
He doesn't love Ji Siman, but he can't control the guilt in his heart.
Divorce?
Thinking about my mother's attitude, and then thinking about the Zhong family.
If he insists on being with Meng Shanshan, Mr. Zhong will definitely not let her go.
What's more, he doesn't want a divorce.
After all, the child in Ji Siman's belly is his. Thinking back to the time when he returned to the Zhong family on New Year's Eve and saw the happy scene of Zhong Shaoqing's family of three, he felt a little envious.
He wants his children to live in a family where both parents are harmonious.
"No divorce."
The person on the bed was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, she didn't look very happy, and she didn't say anything. She just looked at him deeply and continued to close her eyes.

After the Lantern Festival, people start to get busy with school and work.
Imperial University starts late.
We took a day off at home on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and on the 17th day, we went to an ancient water town in the south.
Ji Sichen chartered a private jet.
We set off early in the morning and arrived at the ancient town around noon.
The weather in the south is not as good as that in the capital, but it is not warm either, it is damp and cold.
The hotel they stayed in was in the ancient town, next to the river. Its antique style made people feel like they were in an ink painting.
Looking out the window, you can see green mountains shrouded in mist in the distance and ancient buildings visible to the naked eye nearby.
"Brother Chen, the environment here is so nice!"
Ji Sichen was packing his luggage. They were only here for three days, so they didn't bring much luggage.
"If you like us, come often."
"Knock knock knock"
Qian Tengyue knocked on the door and came in.
"Brother Ji, Sister Jinmo, we are going to have some sweet soup, do you want to come?"
Sugar water is popular in the south.
"I found a really delicious one nearby."
"Okay, let's change our clothes and come."
The dessert shop is not far from the ancient town.
There are residential areas near the ancient town, and most of the residents make a living by setting up stalls and opening shops around the ancient town.
The store Qian Tengyue found was not too big, and at this time, there were not many people drinking sugar water.
They sat down in the store, and the small shop immediately became crowded.
Everyone had to order a different kind, and serving chopsticks and spoons were provided.
As bowls of sweet soup were brought in, the table was soon filled.
Ye Jinmo likes sweets.
It feels a bit inadequate.
"Boss, is there any good barbecue or snacks around here?"
"The noodle shop across the street sells our special flavor. You can try it!"
"Okay, I'm going to buy it, you guys sit down!"
Ye Jinmo stood up as she spoke, and Tan Qinghuan also stood up and went out with her, preparing to ask everyone what they wanted to eat when they got to the other side.
There was already a long queue at the noodle shop opposite, and they were at the end.
When the locals in front heard that they had foreign accents, they enthusiastically gave up their seats and let them buy first.
"Thank you, brother!"
The locals smiled brightly and waved their hands: "Welcome to our place!"
Ye Jinmo smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
It was soon their turn. Ye Jinmo felt that the person cooking the noodles looked familiar.
Her face blindness later improved a lot.
It was only when Tan Qinghuan reminded him that he remembered.
The person in front of me is the director of the welfare home whom I have met once before.
Why is she here?
Apparently the dean recognized them as well.
"What would you like to eat?" the dean greeted warmly.
Ye Jinmo ordered a few bowls of noodles and packed them up.
She looked at the dean's face and thought to herself that something was wrong.
Leaving the noodle shop, Tan Qinghuan saw that she was worried.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, she is seriously ill."
The complexion of critically ill patients is very different from that of normal people.
Tan Qinghuan also said seriously: "You are still running a noodle shop when you are sick?"
Ye Jinmo shook her head: "I don't know. I haven't heard that she left the capital before. But a while ago, before the New Year, my senior brother said that he and Yuanyuan went to the welfare home to bring warmth. If she leaves the capital, what about the children in the welfare home?"
"Perhaps the dean has been replaced," Tan Qinghuan thought, "She is not young anymore and has been working hard in the imperial capital. She may have relatives here."
Ye Jinmo nodded, looked back at the noodle shop, feeling like something was wrong.
It is not a good thing not to go to the hospital when you are sick.
But they are not very familiar with each other, so I can’t just go up and ask.
It would be best to ask Yuanyuan when we get back to the capital.
That’s it!
