Ji Yuanyuan slept all the way until evening. She probably would not have woken up if not for Lin Nan’s call.
Qin Mucheng was no longer on the bed.
She picked up the phone while reaching out to her sides.
The bed was cold. Qin Mucheng had probably been up for a while.
“Hello?” Ji Yuanyuan’s voice was a little hoarse.
“Gao Qionghui just fell asleep. I’m in the corridor of her house now.” Lin Nan lowered his voice.
“Why are you there?” Ji Yuanyuan was stunned.
“Qin Mucheng’s chauffeur was afraid Gao Qionghui would take things too hard after sending her home, so he asked her to call her friends or family. In the end, she called me. No matter how busy I am, I have to come over at this time.”
“Mucheng’s chauffeur is quite attentive,” Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice as the corners of her lips twitched.
This was Qin Mucheng’s new driver at the beginning of the year. Ji Yuanyuan was not familiar with him.
“Not only is he meticulous, but he’s also quite handsome.” Lin Nan chuckled.
“How is Huihui?” Ji Yuanyuan did not answer Lin Nan’s question.
Lin Nan sighed deeply when she heard this. “She bowls her eyes out the whole night, spilling everything that happened between her and Cao Xiangrong. In the past, she wouldn’t say anything even if I asked. Now, she’s just throwing it all away.”
Regarding Gao Qionghui and Cao Xiangrong’s matter, not only did Ji Yuanyuan look down on them, but even Lin Nan could not stand it.
She had tried to persuade Gao Qionghui many times, but she was tight-lipped and refused to say anything.
Ji Yuanyuan was silent for a moment. Lin Nan asked again, “By the way, how’s Cao Xiangrong’s wedding going? Did they continue or stop it?”
“I don’t know either. We came out with Gao Qionghui. I’ve been sleeping since we got back, so I haven’t asked.” Ji Yuanyuan explained.
“Gao Qionghui told me that Cao Xiangrong mentioned breaking up with her in July. If the Gu family asks, you can say that you thought Gao Qionghui and Cao Xiangrong had broken up a long time ago.” Lin Nan said hesitantly.
“I understand. Thank you, Lin Nan.” Ji Yuanyuan said sincerely.
She was very grateful that Lin Nan could still think of her to this extent.
She had been too impulsive that dau.
She had rushed out in a panic for Gao Qionghui, which was equivalent to slapping the Gu family in the face.
Moreover, if the Gu family knew that Gao Qionghui was her friend, they might think the Qin family and the Cao family had joined forces to deceive her family for the bank loan deliberately.
Now that she thought about it, Ji Yuanyuan regretted standing up for her impulsively.
She only cared about Gao Qionghui and did not care about the Qin family at all.
“Why are you saying this? I’ll be staying with Gao Qionghui tonight. Shengnan will come over after work, so don’t worry.” Lin Nan said again.
After hanging up the phone, she heard footsteps outside the door.
Ji Yuanyuan had just put down her phone when Qin Mucheng pushed open the door and entered. “Are you up? Just in time, the food is ready. Shall we go down and eat now?”
He stepped forward and carefully tucked the stray hair on Ji Yuanyuan’s face behind her ears.
“Huggie!” Ji Yuanyuan reached out her hand coquettishly.
Qin Mucheng chuckled and bent over to carry Ji Yuanyuan in his arms.
As they walked downstairs, Ji Yuanyuan said, “Lin Nan called me just now. She’s at Gao Qionghui’s place. You have a very attentive driver. You should consider giving him a promotion and a raise.”
Qin Mucheng could not help but laugh. “I will. What else did Lin Nan say?”
Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and asked guiltily, “How did the wedding go after we left? Did it continue, or was it interrupted?”
Mom sent me a message saying that Gu Zhiyan called off the wedding on the spot and didn’t continue.”
“Lin Nan said that Cao Xiangrong broke up with Gao Qionghui in July. She suggested we explain this to the Gu family.” Ji Yuanyuan probed. “But I feel that since things have already come to this, isn’t it not good to continue lying?”
A lie was a lie, after all, and it would be exposed sooner or later.
At that time, things would be even more troublesome.
“You can’t lie. I was too careless. I thought Cao Xiangrong had really settled the matter. I didn’t expect him to cause such a scene.”
“It’s my fault. If I hadn’t stood up impulsively at noon, perhaps…”
“Alright, you don’t have to worry about this. Shenghe doesn’t lack the Gu family’s loan.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng with an even more regretful expression.
If they didn’t lack it, why would her father-in-law and mother-in-law be so warm to Gu Zhiyan’s parents before the wedding?
Furthermore, Qin Mucheng and his son have been getting in contact with more clients recently.
Downstairs, there were two dishes on the dining table.
One was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the other was braised eggplant.
They didn’t look too good. The eggs in the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were broken into pieces, and the eggplant was black. It was unknown if it was the color of the soy sauce or if it was burnt.
“I know you don’t want to see other people, so I cooked the dishes myself.” Qin Mucheng looked a little awkward. “I’ve tried it. Although it doesn’t look very good, the taste isn’t bad.”
Ji Yuanyuan was quite touched. Qin Mucheng, a young master who never entered the kitchen, was already very good at cooking.
Qin Mucheng was right. Although these two dishes did not look good, they tasted excellent.
Ji Yuanyuan also ate another bowl of rice with this dish.
At night, Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were still resting at Shengshi Heting’s place and planned to spend the night.
Ji Yuanyuan missed Tangtang but did not dare to video call her.
She was afraid that Tangtang wouldn’t fall asleep because she missed her too much.
It was only until 10 pm, when Tangtang fell asleep, that Li Xu video-called Ji Yuanyuan for a while to show her Tangtang’s sleeping appearance.
Li Miao’s son, Mumu, was also there. He played with Tangtang for the whole day.
Seeing that her daughter was obedient, Ji Yuanyuan felt relieved.
However, Ji Yuanyuan went to Li Xu’s place early in the morning because she missed his daughter.
Tangtang slept early and woke up early.
When Ji Yuanyuan went over, she was already playing building blocks with Mumu on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng enter, Tangtang’s eyes lit up, and she was about to speak.
However, she seemed to have thought of something and swallowed her words before she could say anything. She lowered her head and pouted as she continued to play with her building blocks.
Obviously, she was a little absent-minded, and the building block was knocked over by her after a few hits.
Seeing the blocks fall onto the sofa, Tangtang looked up at Mumu guiltily.
Mumu was like a little adult. She sighed helplessly. “It’s okay. We can just rebuild it.”
Mumu was already eight years old this year and was in primary school. He had been educated very well by Li Miao and Gong Wenbai. He was very polite and patient.
Tangtang stuck out her tongue guiltily. She took the building blocks from the sofa and put them in Mumu’s hand.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at her daughter’s expression and walked forward with a smile. She sat down behind Tangtang.
Unexpectedly, just as Ji Yuanyuan sat down, Tangtang moved forward and distanced herself from him..
