Zhan Jingting turned his head and saw Qiao Wanwan sleeping by the bed, her soft, boneless hand holding his.
Zhan Jingting's heart felt as if it had been touched by a gentle breeze, stirring up ripples.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's fair and beautiful face.
Qiao Wanwan was a light sleeper and quickly opened her eyes. "Hmm... Jingting, you're awake? Does your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it doesn't hurt. I was worried that you would be in pain when you woke up, which would mean that your condition was difficult to control."
Zhan Jingting glanced at the time; it was already 3:30 a.m.
"It's late, you should go back to your room and go to sleep."
"Let me feed you your medicine first." Qiao Wanwan got up to get the medicine and fed it to him sip by sip.
After drinking the medicine, Zhan Jingting quickly fell into a drowsy sleep again.
Qiao Wanwan covered him with the blanket before getting up and leaving.
She wasn't sleepy, so she went to the nursery to check on the third baby.
The third child had just woken up, and the nanny was feeding him formula.
"Madam, why aren't you resting yet?"
"I can't sleep." Qiao Wanwan stepped forward. "Let me feed you."
"good."
The third brother was very excited to see her, and he pursed his lips and drank even more.
Qiao Wanwan was instantly healed, "My baby is so good!"
"The third young master is very well-behaved; he eats and sleeps well," the nanny said with a smile.
After finishing his milk, the third child quickly fell asleep again.
Qiao Wanwan put him on the small bed before going back to her room to sleep.
......
After resting for a few days, Zhan Jingting's health gradually improved, and he began to take over some of the work of Dijing Group again.
Ruan Tang remained unconscious, but there was no movement from the hospital, and the murderer still hadn't appeared.
When Qiao Wanwan finished her postpartum confinement, it was already close to the Spring Festival.
This was Xiao Jiu's first Spring Festival since she returned, a time for the whole family to reunite, so Qiao Wanwan took it very seriously.
It's rare for our home to be decorated so festively, and the whole family had a wonderful reunion for the New Year.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhan Yin organized a game of mahjong.
Qiao Wanwan doesn't like playing mahjong, so she went to accompany the two children to set off fireworks.
"Mommy, you're so beautiful!"
"Mommy, look! It's the shape of a rainbow!"
Once Xiao Jiu started talking, she became incredibly talkative, and her personality was more cheerful than Qiao Wanwan had imagined.
Qiao Wanwan held their hands, watching the beautiful and dazzling fireworks, "If only Daddy could regain his memories..."
Xiao Jiu spotted the man walking towards them from a distance and exclaimed, "Mommy, speak of the devil and he appears!"
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
She turned her head and saw Zhan Jingting walking towards her.
The man was wearing a black overcoat, with a tall and straight figure, exuding an innate air of nobility.
"Daddy."
"Daddy."
The two children greeted each other in unison.
"It's cold outside, you should go inside and warm up," Zhan Jingting said.
"Okay." The two children obediently left.
Qiao Wanwan smiled. "You were looking for me?"
"Hmm." The man took out an exquisite brocade box from his coat pocket. "Happy New Year."
Qiao Wanwan was quite surprised. She took it and opened it to find a dazzling diamond necklace inside.
“I’ve seen this necklace before. It’s been on a magazine cover. There’s only one in the world.”
Do you like it?
Qiao Wanwan smiled brightly, "I like it."
"Shall I put it on you?"
"OK."
Zhan Jingting took out the necklace, walked behind her, and put it on her.
Qiao Wanwan fixed her hair, turned around, and asked, "Does it look good?"
"Beautiful." The man paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you keep asking why I was avoiding you? Why haven't you asked lately?"
"There's nothing to ask," Qiao Wanwan smiled calmly. "If I press you for details, it might affect your mood, and what if it affects your health?"
"Actually, I know that the reason you're avoiding me is most likely because you don't like me, so why should I bother asking? I'd rather use that time to take care of my health and prepare for the future."
Zhan Jingting's heart skipped a beat. "What preparations are you going to make?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Good health is the prerequisite for everything. If you continue to resist me like this, or if you never regain your memory, I can't keep bothering you forever."
"Perhaps one day we really will get divorced, and I will still have to continue raising my three children."
A surge of irritation welled up in Zhan Jingting's chest, making him feel suffocated!
He wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat. After a long silence, he finally spoke in a deep voice, "I didn't say I wanted a divorce."
“I know,” Qiao Wanwan said with a faint smile. “Ever since the birth of our third child, you have been very responsible, staying at home to take care of the children. But responsibility alone is not enough to sustain a marriage.”
"Jingting, if you can't accept me, I'm willing to grant your wish, because I don't want you to live a repressed and stifling life, and I don't want you to be trapped in Wutong Bay to fulfill your obligations. You are free."
The frustration in Zhan Jingting's chest did not dissipate; instead, it intensified!
"Who needs your approval!"
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"I'll grant your wish, isn't that good enough?"
Zhan Jingting's face darkened even more. "I'll say it again, I don't need your permission!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Qiao Wanwan: "......???"
Did she say something wrong?
This man's temper is getting weirder and weirder.
