Chapter 90: Settlement of Accounts
Maybe it was because the light in the hall was too bright, the warm yellow light made everything look hazy and gentle. She saw that his cold eyes when he looked at her just now became gentle, and he was saying something to Meng Qing in a gentle voice, which was particularly gentle and patient.
Or it could be said that he was coaxing Meng Qing.
Yu Nian looked down at the scene. She had always known that he was very good to Meng Qing, but she only felt it at this moment. He was so good to her that she couldn't help but think of a vulgar question: if she and Meng Qing fell into the river at the same time, who would he save?
Between her and Meng Qing, who is more important to him?
But why should she compare herself with another woman to see who is more important in her husband's heart?
Downstairs, Ji Yanxing picked up Meng Qing. Meng Qing's face was pale and pitiful, and people couldn't help but feel distressed at a glance.
Ji Yanxing raised his eyes and met her gaze, his eyes were as dark as ink. But after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and walked out.
The vision in front of him went from blurry to focused. Yu Nian closed his eyes, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
He chose another woman and left her behind.
It was also at this moment that she made a major decision.
Perhaps, it's time for all this to end.
And it was time for her secret love of the past ten years to end.
She stood there for a few minutes, her stiff body returned to normal, and she raised her legs to walk downstairs. Ji Yanxing came back, and as soon as she went downstairs, she saw him coming back again.
Are you here to settle accounts with her?
Yu Nian stopped and watched him calmly as he walked up to her. He gave his suit jacket to Meng Qing, leaving only a white shirt, which was a bit wrinkled at the moment, adding a bit of mystery and darkness to him.
Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes and fell on her dull and calm face. His Adam's apple rolled up and down. He wanted to explain something but suddenly couldn't say anything.
They stared at each other in silence, as if in a silent stalemate. Yu Nian swallowed hard, suppressing the bitter liquid that had not yet faded away, "I didn't push her, you can check the surveillance."
Ji Yanxing frowned and said in a hoarse voice: "I know you won't do such a thing."
He knew better than anyone what kind of person she was, and she would never do such a thing.
Hearing him say this, Yu Nian felt a little relieved. She thought he was here to settle the score with her.
"She grabbed my wrist and wouldn't let me go. I pulled it hard—" She paused and gave her guess, "She must have accidentally rolled down."
Ji Yanxing immediately looked at her wrist, which still had some red marks on it. His eyes darkened and he took her hand, "Let's go home."
Yu Nian frowned and pulled her hand out. "Go to the hospital. She fell from such a high building. Although the floor was carpeted, the injury was quite serious. If it is not treated properly, she may suffer from a serious illness."
Ji Yanxing narrowed his eyes and looked into hers, "You want me to accompany her?" Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and she pulled her lower lip in self-mockery, "She needs you more than I do."
"Yu Nian——"
"You don't have to restrain your concern for her just because I'm here." She could see that after seeing her, he deliberately restrained his concern for Meng Qing, after all, he was still concerned about her feelings. It was just that in a hurry, it was inevitable that he was a little out of control, and she still saw with her own eyes how gentle he was when coaxing another woman.
Ji Yanxing looked at her, his eyes boiling with emotions, and even his breathing became heavier because of her words, "I told you that Meng Qing saved me. Do you think I should just ignore her when I saw her fall down the stairs? You know I don't have any feelings for her, why do you have to say these things?"
His emotions seemed to be somewhat out of control, and he unconsciously increased the force with which he pressed her shoulders, causing Yu Nian's shoulder blades to hurt.
She frowned, "Can you be gentler?"
Ji Yanxing noticed his hand and immediately withdrew his strength. His Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and his eyes were filled with dark silence. "I'm sorry."
Yu Nian smiled and replied, "No problem, there is nothing wrong with your approach. It's my problem. I don't love you enough and can't tolerate everything about you. But I don't completely stop loving you, so I can't just turn a blind eye."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yanxing's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively ignored the complete meaning of her words. In an instant, all kinds of emotions surged up again. What she just said meant that she loved him?
This was the first time she said she loved him in person. Ji Yanxing's eyes were slightly dazed, and after the joy, there was a surge of panic. She said she loved him, although not very much, but he didn't need her to love him very much, just a little bit of love would be enough. Love that was too passionate could easily be consumed, and it was enough to maintain this little bit of love for him for a lifetime.
"Let's go home." He soothed his throat and
He held her hand this time, even tighter than before, and Yu Nian couldn't get rid of it.
Yu Nian didn't know what was wrong with him. He was talking to her coldly one moment, but the next second he ended the topic directly, grabbed her hand and was about to go home.
What's wrong with him?
Are you angry because she said she didn't love him enough?
But looking at him, he doesn't look angry.
"Ji Yanxing, you——"
"There are too many people here," Ji Yanxing interrupted her, "If you have anything to say, talk about it when you get home."
Yu Nian couldn't resist his strength, nor could she argue with him in the crowded birthday party, so she followed him into the car and the driver drove all the way back to the villa.
When they got home, Yu Nian didn't stop walking past the master bedroom. Ji Yanxing grabbed her wrist without thinking, "Where are you going?"
"Second bedroom." Yu Nian closed his eyes tiredly, "Let me be quiet for a night."
He could pretend nothing happened, but she couldn't.
Some things are more shocking when seen with one's own eyes than when imagined a thousand times.
Ji Yanxing looked at her tired and cold face, and felt annoyed and depressed. But when he thought of her saying "I love him", he suppressed it forcefully. His Adam's apple rolled, "I'll sleep in the second bedroom, and you stay in the master bedroom."
Yu Nian did not argue with him about the room allocation and walked towards the master bedroom. She stayed in the empty bedroom for a few minutes and prepared to go to the study. Just as she was about to go out, she saw Ji Yanxing pushing the door open.
He didn't come in, but stood by the door and looked at her, "I'm going to the hospital, you go to bed early."
Yu Nian paused and replied calmly, "Yeah."
He stood there and looked at her for half a minute before he walked away.
After he left, Yu Nian took a deep breath, went to the study, turned on the computer, and began to write the divorce agreement.
The moment she typed the five words "divorce agreement", her fingertips trembled slightly and typing became laborious.
Since she started working as a lawyer, she has written countless divorce agreements. Even the first legal document she wrote was a divorce agreement. She could remember the template format and content with her eyes closed.
