Chapter 169 How many years will you be away this time?
A few days later, Qin Zi insisted on going abroad.
Jiang Xu had a meal with him.
Qin Zifei asked her about her work. After chatting for a long time, he changed the subject: "Have you been in touch with He Yanting recently?"
Jiang Xu didn't hide it: "Yes."
Qin Zifei said meaningfully: "Because of that child?"
Jiang Xu nodded: "I feel very guilty about that child."
Qin Zifei shook his head: "What are you feeling guilty about? The one who should feel guilty is He Yanting. If he hadn't gone crazy and imprisoned you, you wouldn't have abandoned the child. Besides, he was the one who got you pregnant."
"That's what I said."
Jiang Xu was speechless.
After a pause, Qin Zifei asked again: "Is there any possibility of you and He Yanting getting back together?"
Jiang Xu was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "No."
Qin Zifei smiled and said, "You hesitated. When you first returned to China, you never hesitated when answering this question."
"Brother, I'm serious."
Jiang Xu's expression was very determined.
Qin Zifei didn't continue the topic. He drank a lot of wine that night.
Jiang Xu drove him back. Qin Zifei was quite drunk. He leaned back in the chair and looked out the window.
Jiang Xu had never seen him drink so much before.
"Brother, are you in a bad mood?"
Jiang Xu guessed many reasons. He was about to leave his family, and his grandmother's death was also a big blow to him.
"No."
Qin Zifei's voice was a little hoarse, he rubbed his eyebrows, and looked very uncomfortable.
Jiang Xu stopped talking.
When they arrived at his house, Qin Zifei got out of the car and Jiang Xu got out to help him.
"No, you can go back."
Qin Zifei refused.
"It's okay, it's just a few steps away."
Jiang Xu helped him into the elevator.
The elevator ran quietly. Qin Zifei's hand was holding Jiang Xu's wrist, and his eyes were always on her profile.
Jiang Xu was staring at the digital panel when she suddenly felt him approaching.
She quickly turned her head and looked at Qin Zifei: "What's wrong?"
Qin Zifei leaned towards her, his arms resting on the elevator wall. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Jiang Xu frowned and his tone became more serious: "Senior Brother?"
Qin Zifei smiled with a drunken look in his eyes: "Have you never doubted that I have special feelings for you?"
Jiang Xu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.
"To be honest, I doubted it."
She raised her eyes, her eyes clear and pure, "You have been so good to me over the years, even if we were family, you would be no better than this, but you acted like a gentleman. I think I'm overthinking it."
"Maybe... you didn't think too much."
Qin Zifei's eyes flickered as he stared intently at Jiang Xu's face. "Your appearance, your intelligence, your personality—any man who knows you well wouldn't be tempted. It's just—"
He lowered his head and laughed at himself: "I know it's impossible for me, so I have to be a gentleman."
Jiang Xu was speechless.
She didn't expect Qin Zifei to confess this to her at this time.
An awkward silence stretched across the elevator.
bite!
The elevator arrived and the doors slowly opened.
"Good night, Junior Sister."
Qin Zifei slowly approached Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he didn't know whether he should hide.
Just before his lips were about to touch her forehead, he suddenly stopped and stumbled out.
Before Jiang Xu stepped out of the elevator, she heard the door slam shut.
She didn't get out of the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
She didn't sleep well that night, not because of Qin Zifei's sudden confession, but because of what he said about the child.
Over the years, who was right and who was wrong between her and He Yanting regarding Tuanbao's affairs.
I thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out.
I got up late the next day and originally planned to see Qin Zifei off, but his flight was already past its departure time.
Qin Zifei didn't call or send a message to inquire.
After thinking about it, she sent him a message.
[Brother, bon voyage]
After a long time, Qin Zifei still didn't reply.

A month later, Jiang Xu received an order from headquarters to go back and give a performance report.
During this period, He Yanting was very busy and she was also very busy with her projects, so the two of them hardly met.
She would pick up Tuanbao every week to spend the weekend with her.
Tuanbao seemed to be closer to her, but there was no qualitative change, and he never opened his heart to her and called her mother.
The weather forecast says it will snow heavily in the next two days.
In order not to delay the trip, Jiang Xu quickly booked the plane ticket and packed his luggage the day before the flight.
On the way home from get off work, there were lights and decorations everywhere outside, and Christmas trees were placed in front of many stores.
She just realized that today is Christmas.
When she got home, she had no appetite and decided to simply make some oatmeal.
Just after I finished taking a shower, there was a knock on the door.
I went to open the door and found no one at the door.
Jiang Xu frowned, thinking that someone had knocked the wrong door, so he closed the door and went back into the house.
The next second, the door was knocked again.
This happened three times in a row. Jiang Xu was so angry that he rushed out of the house and cursed: "Who is this? What's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, two figures, one big and one small, walked out from the corner.
"Tuanbao, your mother said you were crazy."
He Yanting, wearing a dark grey coat, teased with her pretty thin lips.
Tuanbao, wearing a white down jacket and looking round like a snowman, explained to Jiang Xu, "This was Dad's bad idea."
Looking at the two, one big and one small, Jiang Xu crossed his arms and was speechless.
"What are you doing here?"
She looked at He Yanting.
He Yanting showed the shopping bag in his hand, which was full of fresh ingredients. "It's rare that I don't have a meeting today, so I came to improve your meals."
As he spoke, he squeezed past her and into the house.
Jiang Xu touched Tuanbao's head, turned around to close the door, but found He Yanting standing in the living room, motionless.
He had his back to her, staring at the suitcase on the floor, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Before I could ask what was going on, he suddenly turned around, and his handsome face was a little distorted.
"Are you leaving again?"
His eyes quickly turned red, and he walked quickly towards Jiang Xu, holding her shoulders tightly with both hands.
The force was so great that his fingers almost sank into her flesh.
"I……"
Jiang Xu was a little confused. Before she could say anything, He Yanting picked up her phone and quickly opened the ticket purchasing website.
It clearly shows that there is a flight leaving the country at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
He showed her his phone tremblingly.
Her voice was choked with sobs: "Ruanruan, are you going to abandon me and Tuanbao again? How many years do you plan to leave us this time?"
Jiang Xu: “…”
"actually……"
Halfway through her words, He Yanting grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.
"I won't let you go, Jiang Xu, you can't leave!"
Jiang Xu's bones were almost broken by him, and he shouted: "I'm just going on a business trip!"
He Yanting shook his head: "Are you going to lie to me again?"
Jiang Xu was a little annoyed: "He Yanting, let me go, you scared Tuanbao."
Only when Tuanbao was mentioned did He Yanting calm down.
He loosened his grip slightly, and Jiang Xu broke free and said to Tuan Bao, "Mom bought you a new toy. Can you go to the bedroom and play with it for a while?"
Tuanbao's eyes were obviously worried, but he nodded and obediently went to the bedroom.
Jiang Xu closed the bedroom door, and the next second, He Yanting pushed her against the wall, her chin was roughly pinched, and a kiss full of punishment came at her fiercely.
