Chapter 4: I Regret

When Jiang Mian returned home, Xiao Yugan jumped off the sofa lightly when he heard the noise, ran to the entrance and gently rubbed Jiang Mian's trouser legs.

Jiang Mian changed his shoes, picked up the dried fish, and touched his head.

Xiao Yugan let out a "meow" of enjoyment.

This was a birthday gift given to Jiang Mian by Ji Zhixiu on her birthday last year.

He is a very cute ragdoll cat, so adorable that his heart melts.

Jiang Mian liked it very much.

One person and one cat sat on the sofa, and the cell phone in the bag rang.

Jiang Mian lowered his head and rummaged around for a while before answering the phone.

"Mianmian, have you made peace with your family? Do you agree?" Sister Ning's angry voice sounded.

Three years ago, Jiang Mian hugged Ji Zhixiu's thigh.

Sister Ning originally thought that this potential stock would have a bright and prosperous future, but unexpectedly, it just stopped!

Mr. Ji! That's Mr. Ji! It would be better to just give her some resources than to struggle on her own for several years!

Why can't this little girl think about being at home raising her husband and raising children?

Jiang Mian kept combing Xiao Yugan's hair, and said softly, "I didn't say anything."

She originally wanted to say it, but she felt that the man would not agree, so she simply gave up.

Sister Ning has a lot of old blood, and she is most annoyed by Jiang Mian's unhurried and unhurried manner.

But unfortunately, there is no point in rushing.

She was so anxious that she almost went bald, "Jiang Mian, can you please take care of yourself! This is your own career!"

Filming is a hobby for Jiang Mian, and she has no shortage of money to spend.

When grandma was ill, she made a lot of money but didn't keep anyone. All the wages that were previously given to grandma were saved by the elderly. It's all in her hands now.

What's more, she knew that the man was extremely possessive of her, and he would never want to see her filming a kissing scene.

Jiang Mian smiled, “Sister Ning, I read the script and there is a kissing scene. He doesn't like it."

"What's so difficult about this? Just find a kisser instead!"

"How about you talk to him?"

Sister Ning trembled. Is she negotiating terms with Mr. Ji? Forget it, she didn't dare.

"It's up to you, forget it, I won't say anything!"

After hanging up the phone, Sister Ning thought angrily that as long as she had an artist working for her, she wouldn't harass Jiang Mian from time to time.

The assistant came over with the itinerary and said timidly, “Sister Ning, here are your arrangements for this afternoon."

"Let it go." She said angrily.

…

Xiao Yugan meowed a few times, and Jiang Mian remembered that he hadn't fed her before going out today.

She got up and found the cat food on the cabinet, and found that it was all gone.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Jiang Mian picked up the dried fish and kissed it twice, “Baby, just wait at home while mommy goes out to buy food for you."

"Meow~"

Jiang Mian went to his usual pet store to buy cat food, and picked out some good-looking clothes for the dried fish, as well as some small things like probiotics.

Ling Ling always bought a lot. After paying the bill, she left her address and had it delivered to her door.

Opposite is the city center hospital.

Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment and walked in.

It was just a matter of time to see what happened to his sister. As a sister-in-law, she should be concerned about her.

…

Ji Zhixiu heard someone calling him, but he didn't look back.

Seeing the man walking further and further away, Shen Tingyu trotted after him and reached out to stop him.

"Zhixiu, are you going to leave now that you see me?" She said aggrievedly.

Ji Zhixiu stopped, with no expression on his face, and his eyes didn't waver at all as he said, "What's wrong with you?"

His attitude was indifferent, and Shen Tingyu couldn't help but feel sad.

"It's okay, can't I find you?"

"Of course not."

In addition to being an ex-girlfriend, Shen Tingyu is also the sister of a good friend, and they used to be together often. Ji Zhixiu will naturally not fail to give her this face.

"Okay, I do have something to tell you."

From time to time, people passed by and looked at Shen Tingyu, casting appreciative glances.

Shen Tingyu bit her lip, "How about we talk somewhere else?"

The two of them stood at the top of the stairs, there was no one here.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Zhixiu, I know I was wrong. I know you blamed me for leaving without saying goodbye, please give me another chance! I promise, I will never do this again!" Shen Tingyu couldn't help crying. After leaving Ji Zhixiu, Only then did she realize how good those days were when she had someone to support her.

Unexpectedly, this was what she was talking about. Ji Zhixiu frowned and said quietly, “Those things have passed."

"No! There is no past!" Unexpectedly, he denied the past so lightly. Shen Tingyu looked excited and shouted, "In all these years! I have never forgotten you! Zhixiu, I regret it. , I really regret it!”

"Could it be that if I make a mistake once, I will never get a chance to forgive you?"

"Is our relationship together fake?" She asked unwillingly.

Ji Zhixiu was silent for a moment, "We have only been together for a month."

…

Jiang Mian didn't know which floor of the inpatient department Ji Zhilan was on.

Only when she got on the elevator did she realize that she didn't want to call the man.

She got out of the crowded elevator and took the stairs instead.

She walked slowly downstairs, just to try her luck, and she didn't really want to meet Ji Zhilan face to face.

Forget it if we didn't meet him, maybe the man would have arrived home by now. she thinks.

When Jiang Mian thought of this possibility, his steps became a little faster.

When they reached the first floor, an emotional voice from a woman came from below.

This voice may not be familiar to Jiang Mian, but the male voice that followed it will never be forgotten by Jiang Mian in her life. This voice has been engraved in her bones.

"Stop making trouble." Ji Zhixiu's voice was calm, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

He didn't want to cause embarrassment. It was easy to get together and part ways at first.

In just three words, Shen Tingyu was defeated.

Reluctantly, she hugged the man with all her strength.

Jiang Mian was hesitating. After a few seconds of hesitation, she mustered up the courage to poke her head out and look down.

One glance undoubtedly confirmed her guess. Jiang Mian quickly retracted her body, not daring to make a sound, and walked slowly upstairs.

The chill in my heart gradually spread.

Didn’t you say you came to the hospital to see your sister? Why are you entangled with Shen Tingyu?

She should have rushed out and questioned him.

Jiang Mian was at a loss. She didn't dare to break the calm.

What if, what if... Ji Zhixiu wants to end things with her, Jiang Mian can't imagine it.

From the beginning, Jiang Mian knew that she was destined to win this man.

But it’s been three years, it’s useless, right…

Almost the next second after she left, Ji Zhixiu brushed Shen Tingyu away, his voice still so cold, “Tingyu, I'm sorry, but we broke up long ago. What's in the past is in the past, and it doesn't make any sense to say this now. .”

He paused and said, "You used to be very well-behaved. Stalking is not your style."

Shen Tingyu leaned against the wall. The pain in his body was far less than the pain in his heart.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy or not. It turned out that he had also noticed that he was well-behaved and sensible?

A family member pushed open the corridor door and saw this scene. Their eyes wandered between the two of them, and they imagined a big drama in their minds.

When he saw the man's cold eyes, he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to look anymore and walked upstairs.

Shen Tingyu straightened up, regained his expression of tears, and returned to his usual appearance.

Ji Zhixiu frowned slightly and strode out without looking at her again.

When Ji Zhixiu arrived home, Jiang Mian had already finished feeding Xiao Yugan the cat food.

The TV is on in the living room, showing the latest popular TV series.

One person and one cat were sitting on the sofa. Jiang Mian was lying lazily on his back, watching the plot carefully. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard any movement.

Only Xiao Yugan jumped off the sofa and ran to Ji Zhixiu's legs, “Meow, meow~"

Ji Zhixiu lowered his head and glanced, but made no move.

Unable to receive caress from the male owner, Xiao Yugan kept barking and stood in front of him persistently.

Ji Zhixiu was blocked as he walked away. He bent down and scooped up the dried fish. As he walked, he said, "I'm back."

Jiang Mian watched the male and female protagonists kiss passionately on TV after they resolved their misunderstanding.

She hugged the soft pillow and said in a soft voice, “I went to the pet shop on Jinye Road to buy cat food for dried fish and I came back. Why did you come back?"

She didn't give the man a look.

But my heart was lifted high.

She wanted to hear the truth from him.

There are not only pet shops on Jinye Road, but also a central hospital.

Ji Zhixiu didn't feel that Jiang Mian had bumped into him and Shen Tingyu, but he didn't intend to hide it from her either.

"Why don't you call me when you go shopping and come back together?"

He took off his coat and sunk deep into the sofa. Xiao Yugan consciously jumped off the sofa and returned to his cat climbing frame.

From the time he came in until now, the woman has never given him a proper look. Ji Zhixiu held Jiang Mian's face and forced her to face him.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips, and her big black and white eyes looked a little annoyed, “What are you doing? They still want to watch TV."

Ji Zhixiu looked at her lively eyebrows, smiled at the corner of his lips, and softened his cold face by three points, “Can you be as good-looking as me?"

There is no such thing as a love soap opera.

The protagonist wasn't even half as handsome as him, but Jiang Mian wouldn't say that. There was a hint of slyness in her eyes, “She is indeed prettier than you."

You know that he doesn't like to hear it, but you still say this kind of thing deliberately to make him angry.

Ji Zhixiu ran his fingertips over her red lips, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and then kissed her with a hint of punishment.

"Well...Ji Zhixiu..."

After the kiss, he let go of Jiang Mian and stretched out his arms to hug her.

He explained nonchalantly with satisfaction, “Zhilan was domestically abused by her ex-boyfriend. When I went to see her, I met Shen Tingyu and we said a few words. We have nothing to do. Trust me, eh?"

His voice was low and magnetic, and he explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

Jiang Mian felt as if sugar water had been poured into his heart.

She widened her charming peach blossom eyes, her face was flushed, and her anger had long since disappeared.

Compared with the second half of the sentence, she showed more concern about the first part, “Zhilan was domestically abused? What kind of man is this kind of man? He even attacks women!"

She said so indignantly that Ji Zhixiu couldn't help but laugh, "I'm explaining to you, is this all you care about?"

Jiang Mian nestled in his arms, "Isn't it normal for a sister-in-law to care about her sister-in-law?"

"How could I not believe you?" The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

Ji Zhixiu pinched the soft cheek on her face and said, "What you say is not true."

"Is there anyone taking care of Zhilan? Do I want to go and have a look?" Jiang Mian asked in a low voice.

After three years of hidden marriage, she had never met Ji Zhixiu's family.
