Chapter 111 Pain
"I'm busy filming. If you're bored, why don't you ask your husband to play with you..." As she spoke, she curled her lips and said, "Well, he's the president of a listed group, so he must be busier than me."
After all the dishes were served, Yu Nian picked up a piece of barbecued pork and said, "Hehe."
Chen Xi: “Hmm?”
"He Bai asked me yesterday, how are you doing now?" Yu Nian originally didn't intend to tell Chen Xi, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "How did you break up in the first place?"
He Bai and Chen Xi have known each other for nine years, and they have been on and off during these nine years. Yu Nian doesn't like the way He Bai treats Chen Xi, but since Chen Xi likes her, she didn't say much. It was He Bai who always initiated the breakup between them, except this time, when Chen Xi took the initiative to propose a breakup, which meant that there was no room for maneuver in this relationship.
But He Bai came to ask her about Chen Xi's recent situation... As a bystander, Yu Nian didn't believe that He Bai had no feelings for Chen Xi. Every time they saw the two of them together, although He Bai mostly had a blank expression on his face, he would give Chen Xi what she needed on time before she even opened her mouth, taking care of her needs meticulously.
It is because of this that Chen Xi has persisted year after year.
Chen Xi bit the straw, his eyelashes trembling, "Because I found out, it's not that he doesn't love me, but that he can't love me."
Yu Nian was stunned.
"It seems like my dad did something to let his family down. If he loves me, he will feel sorry for his family," Chen Xi snorted. "He is really a bastard. Why didn't he make it clear earlier that we couldn't be together? I wasted nine years of my life, my best nine years!"
Yu Nian moved her lips, but before she could speak, Chen Xi interrupted her: "Don't say anything to comfort me. It was really painful at the beginning. After all, we have been together for nine years. The memories alone are enough to make me suffer for a while. But when I get busy, I feel that it's nothing. It's not like I can't live without love. I can focus on my career without a man!"
When you love, you give it all. Even if you are reluctant to leave, you will never hesitate.
Yu Nian smiled, raised his glass and touched hers, "Cheers to you."
-
A box in the dark night.
Jiang Yichen and Lu Yan sat on the sofa, looking at Ji Yanxing who drank whenever anyone toasted him, and said, "Didn't Yu Nian say she wanted to divorce him? Why is he still forcing himself to drink?"
Lu Yan held a cigarette between his fingers and looked towards the wine table.
Ji Yanxing sat in the main seat, shaking a glass of iced whiskey in his hand, drinking and chatting with people who wanted to cooperate with him. He looked indifferent, with a lazy smile on his lips, careless, and not drunk. But no matter who toasted him, he would drink it, not just a sip, but a gulp.
"I am increasingly confused about Brother Ji," Jiang Yichen stroked his chin, "He was drinking to keep quiet a while ago because Yu Nian wanted to divorce him. Now that Yu Nian is content to continue living with him, why is he still drinking to drown his sorrows? What is there to be sad about?"
When Qiu Shuning came over, he happened to hear these words and looked at him with disdain, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you, a person who only cares about your body but not your heart. My sister-in-law stayed with Brother Ji because of compromise. Even if she looks the same as before, it's only on the surface."
"Tsk, that's true." Jiang Yichen thought about it. If he was forced to stay by a woman, even if he convinced himself to compromise, he would still feel uncomfortable.
Qiu Shuning took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "Brother Ji, don't you know that you can get back together after a divorce, but it's really over when the relationship is exhausted."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Go call him over and tell him to stop drinking."
Qiu Shuning's eyes widened: "You want me to go? How dare I!"
"You're a woman, can he still hit you?" Lu Yan said coldly, "If he keeps drinking like this and gets a perforated stomach, will you go to the hospital to take care of him then?"
Qiu Shuning smiled and said, "Don't you have a sister-in-law?"
"..." Lu Yan didn't want to waste time talking to her, "Go quickly."
"...Oh." They all knew that Ji Yanxing had a bad stomach. When he first started working, he had social engagements every night. There were some wines in the business world that he couldn't refuse. At that time, he didn't have the status and power he has now, and he drank one glass of wine after another. Because of this, Lu Yan went to the hospital to see him several times.
It was only in the past few years, because Yu Nian was watching over him, that he stopped drinking.
When Qiu Shuning forcibly pulled the person over, Lu Yan glanced at him indifferently and sneered mercilessly: "If you are really frustrated, you can let her go and chase her again. I think Yu Nian spoiled you too much before. You don't even know how to make a woman happy. You threatened her to be with you by using her family and friends. Is this how you chase women? Like a mentally retarded person."
Jiang Yichen made room for him. After Ji Yanxing sat down, he looked at him coldly, "No matter what, she is still my wife. It's better than someone proposing to her three times and getting rejected."
"..." Lu Yan's eyes darkened and he sneered: "Women are meant to be pursued and pampered. I don't want her to be absent-minded. Otherwise, even if I force her to stay with me, it's not what I want."
The body is present but the mind is not.
Ji Yanxing's expression changed slightly, and he sank silently.
When he got home, Yu Nian had just finished taking a shower. While drying her hair, she glanced at him and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
As soon as he entered the door, there was a strong smell of alcohol.
Ji Yanxing stared at her and listened to her casual question as if it was a routine matter. The alcohol was wreaking havoc in his body. He leaned against the door frame and suddenly said, "I want some sobering tea."
She had already taken a shower. Yu Nian frowned subconsciously and thought for a moment, "You go take a shower first. I'll go cook after I finish drying my hair."
"I want to drink it now." He was like a unreasonable child, and he stubbornly asked her to make him sobering tea right now.
Yu Nian frowned: "Okay, wait for me five minutes."
If you don’t blow-dry your hair, you will catch a cold. Yu Nian didn’t want to torture herself, so she picked up the hair dryer, turned it to the maximum speed, and quickly dried her hair.
Ji Yanxing leaned against the door frame and watched her blow-dry his hair. After it was 80% dry, she went downstairs to make him some sobering tea. He followed her downstairs and watched her busy figure in the kitchen. In the past, when he drank, she would also make him some sobering tea.
About ten minutes later, Yu Nian brought out a bowl of sobering tea and reminded him, "It's a little hot, drink it later. I'll go upstairs first—"
"Don't leave. Stay here and finish drinking with me."
He interrupted her.
Yu Nian frowned even more tightly. He had been fine during this period, why did he lose his temper again?
Ji Zhenguo's words touched her deeply. The more she avoided him, the more it proved that she still loved him. Since he would never let her go, she should just continue to live like this. It was not as difficult as she imagined.
Was it because he drank too much tonight? He forced her to make him sobering tea and asked her to drink it with him.
"You drink, I'm here with you," she said.
