Jiang Xingyun raised his hand and stroked Miao Jin's hair. "We just got married, it's only been a few days. We haven't had time to spend day and night together, and now I have to go on a business trip again. I can't bear to leave."
Miao Jin flicked his shoulders and said, "You're not serious!"
"How serious do you have to be?" Jiang Xingyun pulled Miao Jin into his arms, with Miao Jin on top of Jiang Xingyun's body. "Does a relationship between husband and wife need to be so serious?"
"You are such a bad guy!" Miao Jin said angrily, punching Jiang Xingyun's chest with his fist.
"I will miss you very much when you go back to China. What about you? Do you miss me?" Jiang Xingyun said in Miao Jin's ear.
"Yes, very much."
This time, Miao Jin's words came from the heart. Spending every day with Jiang Xingyun, she suddenly felt that even the boring life was filled with his presence, giving her hope for the future.
Miao Jinxian didn't let Jiang Xingyun see her off because she was afraid of seeing the farewell scene.
On the plane, Chen Lu called Miao Jin. Her voice was particularly anxious. "Miao Jin, do you know? Nie Yiheng is here to maintain peace."
Miao Jin's heart sank for a moment, and he said, "I know."
"You know? How do you know?"
Miao Jin suddenly remembered that she really shouldn't have known about it in advance, so she said, "I forgot who told me that, maybe I'm old."
"Does your husband know Nie Yiheng?"
"Have you forgotten that we went to Los Angeles together?"
Chen Lu seemed to have a tone of both belief and disbelief. Finally, she said with great frustration, "What kind of relationship is he having? Such a handsome guy, why would he go abroad instead of staying in China? It's so chaotic here. I'm so infatuated with him, doesn't he consider me?"
"He—probably doesn't know what you're thinking yet." Miao Jin continued, "I'm on a plane. I'm about to take off to the China Translation Conference. What about you?"
"Lying at home, thinking of him." Chen Lu said.
Miao Jin hung up the phone and looked at the clouds outside the window. The plane took off and she soon landed in China.
The meeting in China actually only lasted one day. Once the translation was done, everything was fine. Jiang Xingyun's business trip lasted seven days, so it was still early to return home. Miao Jin didn't want to go back home and wanted to travel around China. Anyway, the flight back to the United States had not been booked yet, so she wanted to choose a nearby city and looked for nearby places on the map with her eyes closed.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the place I chose was Chaoshan.
Miao Jin smiled. She liked Chaoshan very much.
On that foggy morning, Jiang Xingyun was with the uncle and aunt selling scallion pancakes.
Miao Jin bought a bus ticket and went to Chaoshan, still staying in the same place as last time. However, this time she was not staying in a presidential suite, but an ordinary deluxe room. She was not as high-profile and extravagant as Jiang Xingyun.
On the second day, Miao Jinxuan spent the whole day strolling around Chaoshan, eating a lot of local food, and went to the night market in the evening. She also told Jiang Xingyun during a video call that she was having fun in Chaoshan.
"Why did you go to Chaoshan?" Jiang Xingyun asked.
"You're not here anyway, it would be so boring for me to go back home alone, I might as well go shopping for a while." Miao Jin said.
"I still have four days before I go home, so I'll try to come back as early as possible." Jiang Xingyun said.
Miao Jin hummed, then said, "Let's try to go back together."
The next day, Miao Jin wanted to visit the scallion pancake shop. It was almost noon when she arrived. As she had been walking around outside for a long time, she wanted to line up at the back of the queue. However, as soon as she appeared, the auntie noticed her and waved to her with a smile.
Miao Jin thought the aunt still remembered her, so she went to her side.
The uncle also stared at her with a smile.
"The girl is here, where is your husband?" The aunt was making scallion pancakes with numb hands and feet.
"He didn't come. He is on a business trip." Miao Jin said with a smile.
The aunt looked at Miao Jin affectionately again, with a particularly friendly look on her face. "I didn't expect you to be my son's high school classmate."
Miao Jin was surprised for a moment. "Your son? I went to high school in the United States."
The aunt continued, "Yes, it's my son. My son also studied in high school in the United States. My son came home some time ago and showed me your photo. I almost forgot about it, but fortunately, you are beautiful."
Miao Jin was even more puzzled. He couldn't remember having any friends in China.
"What's your son's name?" Miao Jin.
"Nie Yiheng, do you remember him now? But he was not a good student when he was in school. Girl, you may have forgotten him a long time ago." said the aunt.
Miao Jin stared blankly at the old lady's hands making scallion pancakes. These are - are these Nie Yiheng's parents?
Miao Jin seemed to realize something belatedly, and suddenly she remembered why Jiang Xingyun had come here on a business trip with her in the middle of winter, why he had taken her picture, why he had hung the picture on the wall, and why he had invited Nie Yiheng to his home.
Because Jiang Xingyun knew deeply that as long as Nie Yiheng came to their house, Jiang Xingyun didn't need to say anything. As long as Nie Yiheng saw this painting, he would feel very hurt. Those were his parents, but Miao Jin was holding the scallion pancakes made by his parents and smiling at Jiang Xingyun so brightly. No matter whether Miao Jin knew that these were his parents or not, it didn't matter.
Miao Jin felt a headache, she stood there with her hands supporting her head.
Cheated again, cheated again.
Is she stupid? Why does she keep getting scammed lately?
Jiang Xingyun must know who these two people are. Otherwise, China is so big, Chaoshan is so big, why did they happen to live on this street last time? Miao Jin absolutely believed that even if she did not take the initiative to come to this store last time, Jiang Xingyun would have brought her here, because this is the goal of his trip to Chaoshan this time.
Miao Jin didn't know how Jiang Xingyun had been plotting against her in the past.
Miao Jin felt scared.
"It's okay. I just have a headache." Miao Jin said.
"Headache? If you have a headache, sit down for a while. After this busy period, you won't be busy anymore. I'll let your uncle look after you here. You are my son's high school classmate. I feel close to you. If I had known this, I would have invited you home last time." The aunt saw that Miao Jin had a headache and couldn't help but worry.
The uncle brought a stool for Miao Jin, and Miao Jin sat down, breathing heavily.
What shameful things did these people do to make her break up with Nie Yiheng?
At 1:30 in the afternoon, there was basically no one here. There was no place to eat and no dine-in service was provided. No one ate here either. It was a hassle-free experience as we came here in a hurry.
In the past five years, Miao Jin had never asked about Nie Yiheng's parents, fearing that he would be embarrassed. Unexpectedly, when they met under such circumstances, Miao Jin learned that his aunt had worked as a nanny in an American family, and that Nie Yiheng went to Miao Jin's middle school because of the employer's child. He was immediately filled with regret.
The aunt took Miao Jin home on an electric bike.
This was Miao Jin's first visit to Nie Yiheng's home.
