Chapter 499 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 51
The two had been giving each other the cold shoulder for several days.
These past few days, no matter whether Lu Jingxun sent messages, made phone calls, or went directly to her house to find her, Jiang Zhiyi ignored him.
She focused on her own things, ignoring all of this, and completely treating Lu Jingxun as if he were invisible.
Not to mention Lu Jingxun, even the two innocent children, Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin, could tell that something was wrong between the two of them; they must be arguing.
Although I don't know what they were arguing about, it's clear that the older brother did something wrong.
Because whatever my sister does is right.
The two little ones had already quietly made their own judgments about the situation.
It was noon that day, in the courtyard.
Jiang Qiujin was digging up clods of earth with a toy bulldozer, while Jiang Qiuyin was squatting to the side, concentrating on building a house out of mud.
It was very hot, but they were too playful to go inside. Both of them were flushed from the heat, and beads of sweat rolled down their rosy cheeks and into their collars.
As Jiang Qiuyin built the mud house, she would occasionally glance towards the door, where Lu Jingxun was standing.
Because Jiang Zhiyi wouldn't let him in, he could only stand there and wait.
Jiang Qiuyin stopped what she was doing and quietly asked Jiang Qiujin, "Brother, isn't he hot?"
The sun was like a giant fireball, and she felt very hot even under the tree, but the older boy had been standing there for a long time.
She held a dry clod of earth in her hand, and mud had gotten into her fingernails, but that didn't stop her from repairing the little house.
Seeing that Jiang Qiujin was digging the soil clods a little slowly, Jiang Qiuyin took a small shovel and started digging the soil herself.
Jiang Qiujin shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe that older brother isn't afraid of the heat... I'm so hot."
He looked into the house. "Let's rest for a while. Let's go find my sister; I want to eat watermelon."
"Okay, I want to eat too." Jiang Qiuyin dropped the stone in her hand, patted the dirt off her hands, and ran into the house with Jiang Qiujin.
Back inside, they circled around Jiang Zhiyi again, and she cut a slice of watermelon for each of them.
Today it was only served iced, so I only cut a small piece, worried that they might get an upset stomach if they ate too much.
Jiang Qiuyin took a bite of watermelon, and the cool, sweet juice spread in her mouth.
She suddenly remembered Lu Jingxun, who was still standing outside, so she pointed to the door and said to Jiang Zhiyi, "Sister, do you want to give that big brother some watermelon? It's so hot outside."
Jiang Zhiyi paused in her watermelon-cutting motion, then replied calmly, "Ignore him."
Jiang Qiuyin nodded as if she understood, then leaned close to Jiang Qiujin's ear and whispered, "That big brother is amazing, he's not afraid of the heat at all."
As Jiang Qiujin bit into a watermelon, a little juice spilling from the corner of her mouth, she mumbled in agreement with her sister, "Yeah, so amazing... Superman of the Sun."
Jiang Zhiyi listened to their whispers but didn't say anything. She just watched the two little ones eat watermelon silently.
In the afternoon, Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin were painting inside when Jiang Zhiyi glanced at the time and eventually went outside.
When Lu Jingxun saw her coming, his face immediately lit up with surprise.
He lifted his leg to walk closer, but after standing for so long, his leg became immobile and he almost fell.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced at him, then turned back. Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin were sitting obediently inside the room. She said, "Go to your place."
Lu Jingxun nodded quickly.
The lobby on the first floor was quiet, with only two nannies cleaning.
When they saw Jiang Zhiyi and Lu Jingxun come in, they secretly glanced at them a few times, but dared not show anything unusual.
They are all aware of what has happened in the past few days.
The two seemed to be having a disagreement.
Lu Jingxun barely slept, was listless all day, barely ate, and lost a lot of weight.
The people in Beijing have been urging Lu Jingxun to return, and they've made several phone calls, but he hasn't set off yet.
Jiang Zhiyi walked straight towards the greenhouse on the third floor, with Lu Jingxun following behind her.
"When are you leaving?" she asked first, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the drooping green ivy vines.
There are still many small green plants on the balcony, many of which they arranged together before.
The leaves must have been watered by the nanny not long ago; the water droplets on the leaves were trembling precariously, much like the topic hanging between the two of them at this moment.
His fingers, hanging by his side, curled involuntarily. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he spoke, "Recently."
A gentle breeze swept by from the balcony, making his voice sound somewhat faint.
He did not specify a time.
Although the people in Beijing were pressing him hard and there were many things to do, he definitely couldn't leave until he resolved Jiang Zhiyi's matter.
If I just leave like this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to explain myself properly again.
She could never forgive him again.
Jiang Zhiyi asked again, "Why do you have to leave? Isn't it better to stay here?"
Lu Jingxun paused, then fell silent for a moment.
The stray hairs on his forehead obscured the emotions in his eyes.
Why leave?
This is just a house belonging to the Lu family; he's staying here temporarily to recuperate.
But his home is not here.
The Lu family's roots are in Beijing.
His family, his friends, the school he attended, the businesses under his Lu Group... all reside in Beijing.
His life and future, all his plans and aspirations, were built upon that city.
Of course he has to go back; he can't stay here forever.
That's unrealistic.
However, Lu Jingxun didn't know how to bring it up with Jiang Zhiyi.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Zhiyi said again, "Can't you really stay? But I don't want you to leave."
As she said this, she seemed to feel very wronged, and her eyes reddened again.
Lu Jingxun was also heartbroken, and could only comfort her, "I'll take you with me, so we won't be separated. And later... if you want to come back anytime, you can come back anytime, and I'll be with you..."
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head again, crying as she spoke, "I don't believe it. You're still lying to me. You don't like me at all, it's all fake. If you really liked me, you wouldn't have left."
"It's not fake, I'm sincere towards you."
Lu Jingxun quickly defended himself.
Jiang Zhiyi suddenly fell silent. She sniffed, holding back her tears, and pointed to the high balcony of the flower room on the third floor. "Fine, since you say you like me, then prove it to me. I don't want you to leave, I don't want you to go."
She looked up at him, her reddened eyes filled with an almost obsessive emotion, "I want you to jump off here right now."
