YunyiYunyi
After 7 days in confinement, Chen Jingrong immediately rejoined the troops. But, she couldn’t harass Yao Anqi anymore because she had made a promise to her superior that if she did, she would be kicked out of the military.
During this time, Yao Anqi was busy every single day. But, there were times when she received phone calls from Mo Zixi and messages updating her on his status.
Yao Anqi never replied to Mo Zixi’s messages and every time she spoke a few words on the phone, she would be interrupted by an emergency patient and be forced to hang up.
Because of this, Yao Anqi’s assisting nurse asked, “Dr. Yao, don’t you think you’re acting too cold towards Major Mo?”
“M-me?”
The nurse nodded her head furiously, “You’re extremely cold.”
“That’s how I’m like,” Yao Anqi explained. “I’m not capable of soft and gentle conversation.”
After the nurse heard this, she nodded her head in agreement. If Yao Anqi suddenly became gentle, she would suspect that she was possessed. But, the fact was, Yao Anqi was actually born with a soft and gentle appearance. If she sat in her office and didn’t say a word, she could completely be mistaken for a delicate and proper lady.
“I’m just giving a bit of advice. After all, you and Major Mo are in ‘that’ kind of relationship. Shouldn’t couples care about each other when they talk? You should treat it slightly less like business.”
Although Yao Anqi didn’t reply, she took the nurse’s words to heart.
Mo Zixi was gone for 7 days. During this time, Yao Anqi only received phone calls from him and did not get to see him.
How were they a couple?
But, Yao Anqi understood Mo Zixi because he was a soldier.
However, that evening, when Yao Anqi finished work and was about to go home to her son, she was stopped by the plain-clothed Chen Jingrong, “I’m not in my uniform right now, I am just an average woman. Come have a chat with me.”
Yao Anqi wanted to ignore Chen Jingrong, so she waved down a cab to go home. But, Chen Jingrong held onto the car door and wouldn’t let her open it, “Even if you ignore me now, we still need to sort this out sooner or later. What’s the point of avoiding me? Who’s to say that I won’t let go after we have a chat?”
“But I don’t want to waste my time on you.”
“You’ve already won; Zixi is already yours. Can’t you show some pity for the weak?” Chen Jingrong grabbed onto Yao Anqi with teary red eyes. “I have nothing now: no man, no youth, no love…”
Yao Anqi closed the car door and walked over to a rest area. She then sat down with Chen Jingrong, “Speak, what else do you want?”
“I know that you and Zixi have a child, but I’m sure that you don’t want him to be with you just because of responsibilty. I’m here to look for you because I believe that Zixi still loves me. I can only beg you to give him back to me. If necessary, I am willing to adopt your son.”
When Yao Anqi heard this, she let out a laugh, “You should be discussing with Mo Zixi whether he loves you or not, not with me.”
“Plus, I can’t just give Mo Zixi back to you because of a bit of begging; he’s not a product that can be thrown around. Most importantly, he’s the final decision-maker.”
“Also, I can take care of my own child, he doesn’t need a step mother. You are thinking too far.”
“Lastly, you don’t seem to fully understand the real reason why Mo Zixi ended things with you. It’s not because of me and Xingzhe, but because of your lies.”
“I’m sure you’re aware of how many lies you’ve told Mo Zixi over these past 4 years. Think about it from his perspective, if someone lied to you the way that you lied to him, how would you feel? You didn’t actually think that Mo Zixi was cheating with me behind your back, did you?”
At this moment, Chen Jingrong burst into tears…
“I didn’t do it on purpose. I simply loved him too much.”
