Chapter 77 Hard
After Ji Yanxing got in the car, he sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest. As soon as he closed his eyes, his personal cell phone rang.
He opened his eyes, picked up the phone and saw the caller ID. His eyes darkened and he clicked the call.
Three minutes later, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Ming in the co-pilot seat, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
But after a moment, he lowered his eyes, his eyes were dark and deep, and he said in a cold voice: "Go to America."
The long-distance relationship between Yu Nian and Ji Yanxing was not obvious. Firstly, due to the nature of their work, they were often on business trips and were at home less than ten days a month. Secondly, as agreed, they met at least twice a month, and the total time was about the same as before.
The time difference between Sydney and City A is only two hours. Ji Yanxing would call her every day at noon and evening, send her a text message when he got up early, and only call her for a few minutes when he was busy. Although it was short, he never stopped.
The two kept the habit of talking on the phone every day. On various festivals and anniversaries, he would come back if he could, and if he couldn't, he would prepare gifts for her in advance.
A long-distance relationship was not as difficult as Yu Nian had imagined. Besides, her work was already busy, and Ji Yanxing had made great progress in his career. She didn't want to fall behind him too much, so she kept moving forward in her field.
Only very occasionally, when she felt suddenly depressed, she would fantasize that it would be great if Ji Yanxing could be by her side at that moment.
Time flies, and it is almost their fourth wedding anniversary. One month before the anniversary, Ji Yanxing told her the good news.
That day, Yu Nian was so tired that she fell asleep on the desk. She had recently taken on a case and had more preparation work to do. Yu Nian had a headache from looking up information, and her head was swollen, so she fell asleep on the desk.
When Ji Yanxing called, she woke up in a daze. Seeing that it was his call, she opened it and closed her eyes again, mumbling, "I got up at six this morning to attend court. I had one court session in the morning and one in the afternoon. I also met with a client in the middle. I'm almost exhausted."
Seeing that she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, Ji Yanxing lowered his voice and said, "Go to bed."
"No, there is a document that I need tomorrow, and I have to finish it tonight." Although she has no worries about the source of cases now, even if she has more cases, she will not be able to handle them if her professional ability cannot keep up. She can't let herself lose every case introduced by her friends or colleagues.
Ji Yanxing didn't say much. She was ambitious about her career and he wouldn't interfere.
"Nian Nian." Yu Nian responded: "Hmm?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be back before September."
“Hmm…”
Three seconds later, Yu Nian opened his eyes and looked at the man in the video, his face full of surprise and surprise, "Didn't you say you would stay for four years?"
Ji Yanxing curled his lower lip, "Things here are almost done, and there's still some finishing touches to be done. We can assign a vice president to oversee the follow-up work."
He said it lightly, but four years' workload was compressed into three years. Yu Nian didn't even have to think about how hard and tired he had worked during those three years.
When she went to Australia to see him, Li Ming asked her to persuade Ji Yanxing. He treated himself like a robot, working more than ten hours a day, often around the clock, but he never broke his promise to her because of his busy work.
In order to come back early, he worked overtime almost every day, which made Li Ming tired as well. However, Li Ming had an assistant who took over the shift, so Ji Yanxing had to do it alone.
Only when Yu Nian went to Australia to accompany him did he allow himself to rest, to rest in her company.
She persuaded him several times, but after she left, he continued his devilish pace of life, so that he could complete four years of work in three years. Yu Nian looked at him from the screen. Three years had made him more mature and stable. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, curved her eyes, and said softly: "Okay, I'll give you a gift when you come back."
Ji Yanxing raised his eyebrows: "What gift?"
Yu Nian blinked and kept the suspense: "A secret, I'll give it to you when you come back."
-
The gift Yu Nian was talking about was her diary. Their fourth wedding anniversary was almost approaching, and Yu Nian planned to show her diary to him.
Anyway, she had promised him before that she would let him read her diary.
Their wedding anniversary was a week before Ji Yanxing’s birthday. On the anniversary, she showed him his diary. As for his birthday, Yu Nian thought about it and decided to give him a gift.
What to give? Yu Nian thought for a long time, and finally called Chen Xi to go shopping together.
Chen Xi is now a first-line actress, and she has finally let go of her eight-year relationship with He Bai. Now she only wants to make money and build a career. She is busy filming and appearing on TV shows every day. The two haven't seen each other for a long time. "Ji Yanxing is coming back?" Chen Xi said, "You finally ended your life as a left-behind young woman."
Yu Nian: "..."
"I didn't expect you two would really get married first and then fall in love. I always said that the couple I support will definitely come true!"
Over the past three years, Chen Xi has seen the relationship between Ji Yanxing and Yu Nian and is happy for her.
Yu Nian curled her lips and did not deny her feelings for Ji Yanxing. She and Chen Xi started shopping from the underground first floor. When she saw a men's watch, her eyes lit up and she asked the clerk to take it out.
Chen Xi stood by and couldn't help but smack his lips: "Baby, an eight-digit watch, you have to spend all the money you have earned from working so hard in the past two years."
After a year of internship and practicing law, Yu Nian's income has soared. Litigation lawyers are an industry where resources are king. At the beginning, her sources of cases were introduced by peers and friends. In the past two years, she has specialized in one field and has become well-known in the small track of family cases. There are more and more clients who actively come to her.
Plus, she worked so hard that she could achieve financial freedom with her own income. But no matter how free she was, she still had to spend a lot of money on her payroll to buy an eight-digit watch.
Yu Nian looked at this silver watch. The dial was from the astronomical series, with a delicate and cool texture, which matched Ji Yanxing's temperament very well.
If he wears it, well, he will definitely look like a gentleman.
"But the jewelry he bought for me is several times more expensive than this. If I just give it to him casually, will it seem that I am not sincere?" Yu Nian said thoughtfully, "Besides, this watch really suits him."
Chen Xi: "...Baby, I didn't expect that you wouldn't be as clear-headed as I was during those years when I was hot-headed."
“But this is his last birthday that begins with two.” Yu Nian curled her lips and handed her salary card to the clerk.
Chen Xi watched her pay silently. She was happy that Yu Nian and Ji Yanxing were in love, but thinking of the eight years she had fed the dog, she was also afraid that Yu Nian would be too involved and would follow in her footsteps.
But on second thought, Yu Nian was much more sober than her. She was nice to Ji Yanxing only because he liked her, instead of being self-indulgent and wishful like herself.
