Chapter 114 Confession
After they had a falling out, he thought that sooner or later he would be able to coax her back to health. Even if they couldn't go back to the past, as long as she was by his side, that would be enough.
Because he needed a wife, and he was used to her and couldn't adapt to another woman, and as for her no longer loving him, that was not so unbearable.
That had been his plan all those years before he met her.
They had quarreled, had the cold war, had a falling out, and now returned to "normal". Most of the time, there was no noticeable difference, but she had never smiled at him sincerely again.
In the past, when she smiled at him, her eyes were like spring water reflecting the stars, sparkling.
Such smiles became less and less frequent, and her personality became gentler and gentler. She quietly minded her own business.
She was unhappy. She became unhappy because of him.
Ji Yanxing took the cigarette from between her lips and realized very clearly that she was not happy at all with him.
She rarely expressed her love directly, but every time he did something that made her happy, she would hug him, look up at him, smile and say, "I am very happy today."
She hadn't said this to him in a long time.
When Ji Yanxing returned to the bedroom, all the lights were off. She liked to sleep in total darkness, so he didn't turn on the lights. He walked to the bed based on his memory, lifted the quilt and got into bed.
With the dim light from his cell phone, he tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her fair and quiet face. He stared at her for an unknown amount of time. When the screen of his cell phone went black, he came back to his senses and bent down to kiss her between the eyebrows.
"I love you." These three light words sounded particularly clear in the quiet night when only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Ji Yanxing was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize what he had said.
She has fallen asleep.
No one heard his confession except himself.
-
Yu Nian did not go to the law firm these days because she was dealing with Ji Zhenguo's funeral. Fortunately, she was not very busy recently. After finishing her work at the law firm during the day, Su Miao called her around four o'clock in the afternoon and asked her to go to the dance studio.
Since returning from Australia, Su Miao's salary has increased by one third, his workload has been reduced by half compared to when he was a lawyer, and he has more free time to develop various interests and hobbies.
She said in the group that she wanted to learn dancing and asked Yu Nian if he wanted to join. Yu Nian thought about it and agreed.
When she was a child, she learned ballet for several years under the encouragement of Ms. He, but she was naughty at that time and did not persist.
She and Su Miao agreed to meet at the entrance of the dance studio. When she arrived, Su Miao had just arrived at the parking lot. After getting off the car, Su Miao walked towards her and said, "I saw the weather forecast saying it might snow tonight. Driving on a snowy night is romantic, but I'm scared to death."
Yu Nian locked the car and added, "The first snow fell so early this year."
"Who knows, maybe not," Su Miao took her arm, and they walked towards the dance studio together, "But I quite like snowy days, I can eat fried chicken and drink beer with a clear conscience."
Yu Nian smiled and said, "I like snowy days, too."
Along the way, Su Miao stole a few glances at Yu Nian, who raised his eyebrows and said, "Just say whatever you want to say, or I'm afraid you'll suffocate to death."
"..." Su Miao said embarrassedly, "Today I saw a lawyer enter Mr. Ji's office. Our legal director said that this lawyer is Mr. Ji's personal lawyer and is responsible for helping him handle his personal affairs."
She blinked and said, "Are you getting a divorce?"
Divorce? She did, but it was no use.
Now, I don’t have the energy to make trouble anymore.
Yu Nian twitched his lips and said, "No, he and I are in a business marriage, and divorce is difficult."
What this means is that he wanted to divorce, but considering many factors, he ultimately chose not to.
Su Miao understood what she said, and hesitated to speak, and finally changed the subject, "Whatever, let's go dance and let all the unhappy things die!"
Yu Nian smiled.
Su Miao studied classical dance and went to the classroom with her private teacher. Yu Nian found an empty dance studio, made preparations, took off her hairband and put it on her hands, letting her long hair fall over her shoulders, and she danced to the rhythm of the music.
The light from the ceiling fell on her from top to bottom. Her black hair jumped and fluttered with every turn, like a flexible ribbon, and her body danced to the rhythm of the music.
Ji Yanxing stood at the door, leaning on the door frame, watching beads of sweat slightly oozing out of her forehead, soaking her hair, flowing into her neck, and down along the lines of her neck, extremely charming and free.
She enjoys dancing. To be precise, not just dancing, she is very focused on what she does, and she is also very devoted when making cookies, immersed in her own world. Her mind is strong enough to provide all the emotional value for herself.
After dancing for more than half an hour, Yu Nian danced heartily, his chest heaving violently, he gasped, and wanted to get some water to drink.
Suddenly, as if with telepathy, she subconsciously looked towards the door and unexpectedly met Ji Yanxing's gaze.
The dance studio was very quiet. He was wearing a long black coat, his face was stern and noble, but his eyebrows were smiling, and the corners of his lips were also raised. Yu Nian was startled, "Why are you here?"
Ji Yanxing shook the mineral water in his hand, "Water."
Yu Nian walked over and he unscrewed the bottle cap. She took it and took a big gulp. The water droplets wet her lips, and a few drops flowed from her chin into her collar, leading to her reverie.
Ji Yanxing's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became hoarse: "Still dancing?"
"Almost done," Yu Nian went to get her bag, "I'll go tell my colleague."
"Yeah." When they came out of the dance studio, Ji Yanxing held her hand and walked towards the parking lot.
Su Miao just said it was going to snow, and sure enough, on the way home, tiny snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky.
Yu Nian opened the car window and subconsciously stretched out her hand. Snowflakes fell on her palm and quickly melted into water.
It’s snowing. The first snow of this year. Her thoughts were all on the first snow. Ji Yanxing didn’t say a word the whole time, and she didn’t think there was anything wrong. This was how they got along during this period. Except for that night when he got drunk and lost his temper, their communication was always peaceful—he asked, she answered.
Or he is silent and she does something else.
Yu Nian took out her phone and saw that many people in her circle of friends were posting about the first snow. Su Miao even @ her in the group: [Look, it really snowed. I want to reward myself with fried chicken and beer! ]
Qiao Siyun: [Then your dance today was in vain? ]
Su Miao: [First snow, it only comes once a year, there is no time to lose weight! ]
Yu Nian was chatting nonsense with the two of them in the group. The car soon arrived at the South Bank, and Yu Nian put his phone back.
Ji Yanxing unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, walked around the front of the car and opened the door for her.
Yu Nian unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. Just as she was about to close the door, Ji Yanxing closed the door before her, then pushed her against the door and locked her in his arms.
