Chapter 79: Broken Appointment



Cheng Jingmo was cooking with his back to Yu Xiangnian. He couldn't see his expression, but he could hear his low voice, "When do we leave tomorrow?"

"Leave early in the morning."

Yu Xiangnian walked over to the stove and helped light the fire. She said, "Qiu Yang and I went to Shanghai mainly to discuss business. I won't go with him anymore!"

"What business?"

"Qiu Yang knows the president of Shanghai Publishing House. I want to earn some money as a translator in the future. I'd like him to introduce me to someone."

Cheng Jingmo looked at Yu Xiangnian again. Her eyes were sincere and she didn't seem to be telling lies.

His heart dropped a little, "Yeah."

In the evening, Yu Xiangnian was packing her things in the room. Cheng Jingmo knocked on the door and walked in, handing her a passbook.

"You'll need money when you go out, here it is."

Yu Xiangnian glanced at the passbook and said, "No, I have money."

Cheng Jingmo stubbornly handed the passbook forward a little further, "Here, in case of emergency."

Yu Xiangnian looked at the passbook, hesitated for a moment, took it, opened it, and saw that there were three hundred yuan in it.

It should be Cheng Jingmo's last bonus and last month's salary, which he made up a whole amount.

She closed the passbook and looked up at Cheng Jingmo.

Cheng Jingmo felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. Yu Xiangnian suddenly smiled and said, "This is all your belongings. Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

Cheng Jingmo thought about this problem, but he was still willing to give her the money.

Although he was worried that Yu Xiangnian would run away with the money, he was more worried that Yu Xiangnian would have no money to spend outside.

If Yu Xiangnian lied to him this time and left with Qiu Yang again, he would never wait for her again!

"It's such a long journey, I'll bake you some pancakes to take with you," he said.

"No, there's food on the train." Yu Xiangnian put the passbook into his bag. "Don't worry, I won't run away with the money!"

The next morning, Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang boarded the train to Shanghai.

Cheng Jingmo returned home and felt very uncomfortable.

Although Yu Xiangnian did almost nothing at home, he had to wait for him to come back to cook and wash the clothes...

She looks like a real young lady, but she seems to enjoy the hard work.

The electric fan kept spinning, and the cool breeze it blew made Cheng Jingmo's heart chilled.

These days, he did another thorough cleaning of the house, turned over the soil and weeded the vegetable garden outside the house, and took off all the quilt covers and sheets and washed them.

Xiaojie also counts the days on his fingers and counts down every night before going to bed.

Cheng Jingmo didn't expect that the ten days when Yu Xiangnian was away from home would be so difficult.

On weekdays, although the two of them didn't talk much, they would still say a few words. Yu Xiangnian would make a few jokes from time to time to make him laugh.

He seemed to have gotten used to having Yu Xiangnian by his side.

Time passed slowly, and finally it was July 20th.

Throughout the whole day, Cheng Jingmo appeared to be no different from usual, but he couldn't control his excitement inside.

As soon as the bugle sounded for the end of get off work, he walked quickly towards the family compound.

But when he returned home full of expectations, he only saw Xiaojie sitting alone in the room with his head hung in disappointment.

At that moment, Cheng Jingmo felt panicked.

"Didn't my aunt say that she would be back today?" Xiao Jie asked with a pout.

Cheng Jingmo calmed himself down and said, "She might be home in the evening."

The two waited anxiously until night, but no one showed up.

"Go to sleep." Cheng Jingmo pulled the quilt over Xiaojie's belly.

Xiaojie turned over in disappointment and closed his eyes.

Cheng Jingmo turned off the lights and felt heartbroken!

Cheng Jingmo, how can you be so ridiculous!

How could you possibly expect Yu Xiangnian to choose you over Qiu Yang?!

How can you compare to Qiu Yang? He has a good family background, is good-looking, and is a government-sponsored overseas student. What are you?!

The next day, both Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie were in a bad mood. From the time they got up to the time they left home, they didn't say a word.

The other side.

Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang arrived in Shanghai on the morning of July 12, and then met Qiu Yang's friend Sun Yichuang and his family.

In the afternoon, everyone went to the hospital to meet with the patient's attending physician to discuss the patient's surgery.

The attending physician had just heard of this surgery for the first time and thought the risks were too great, so he did not approve of the surgery.

This delayed it for two days.

In the end, Sun Yichuang and his family decided to have the operation.

The operation was scheduled for the morning of July 15th, and Yu Xiangnian performed the operation.

The operation was very successful. I thought that after two days, when the patient was out of danger, I could talk to Sun Yichuang's father about the translation and go home on July 17th or 18th.

But the patient is older and has been ill for so many years, so his recovery is not very good.

Yu Xiangnian observes the patients' recovery in the hospital every day and is so busy that he even forgets the date.

On the third day after the operation, the patient unexpectedly suffered a blockage in his heart vessels, and Yu Xiangnian underwent a second operation.

The second operation was complicated and took Yu Xiangnian five hours.

After the operation, I was busy observing the patient's various indicators, adjusting medication and treatment, and was so busy that I didn't sleep for two days and one night.

It was already the morning of July 21st when the patient was completely out of danger. Yu Xiangnian was so sleepy that she could hardly think, so she went back to the guesthouse and had a good sleep.

I slept for a whole day and night, and when I woke up I suddenly remembered that today was July 22nd.

She couldn't get home on time and forgot to tell Cheng Jingmo.

But when she went out, she didn't ask for the army's phone number.

She could only call home first and ask the nanny to call Yu Jiashun's office to ask Yu Jiashun for the phone number of Cheng Jingmo's unit.

Cheng Jingmo never reveals his emotions, but these past two days, the aura around him has been so cold that even Yu Xiangyang can feel it.

Yu Xiangyang was both angry and felt sorry for him. "Who told you to agree to let her go out with Qiu Yang? If you don't dare to stop her, come and tell me and I'll stop her! If that doesn't work, I'll tell my dad and he'll break her legs this time!"

Cheng Jing said nothing.

After spending some time together, he could tell what kind of person Yu Xiangnian was.

He thought at that time that Yu Xiangnian would not lie to him, but now...

Yu Xiangyang added, "You were so stupid as to give her all the money! You know she stole the money from home and ran off with Qiu Yang!"

Cheng Jingmo did not regret giving her money.

If Yu Xiangnian ran away with Qiu Yang, then this money would at least be of some use to her.

Yu Xiangyang said, "Whether she went to Shanghai or not, only she and Qiu Yang know! Do you believe her just because she said so? Now we don't even know where to find them! What if she runs away abroad again?"

Cheng Jingmo also thought about these questions.

But he thought that even if he raised a kitten or puppy for a period of time, he would develop feelings for it.

What's more, the three of them live under the same roof every day, so Yu Xiangnian should be a little reluctant to leave him and Xiaojie!

Wouldn't she feel bad after deceiving them and running away abroad with Qiu Yang?

At this time, the person on duty ran up to the two of them and saluted, "Report, Deputy Commander Cheng, there's a call for you!"
