68: I can't help but hug【2】

Chapter 68: An Involuntary Embrace [2]

At this moment, Ji Yunhai was making mooncakes with Liu Lanxia in a large apartment in Yuhang.

Liu Lanxia was generally not very good at cooking.

However, she enjoyed tinkering with all sorts of strange things.

For the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was DIYing her own mooncakes.

Looking at Ji Yunhai beside her, she felt that such a life was truly wonderful.

Like immortals…

Once Ji Yunhai had transferred all the family assets out,

Then it would be absolutely perfect.

The classic scene of Ma Chao scolding Cao Cao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms was playing on TV, which also caught Ji Yunhai's attention.

However, at this moment, he still had to deal with Zhao Manman.

After all, before the major task of asset transfer was completed,

He still had to maintain his image.

“Business outside is quite busy…”

“I probably won't be able to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, wife, you know.”

“When a company first opens, that’s its busiest time.”

“I can’t go home for dinner, please understand.”

“This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, you can spend it with the children.”

“With the children around, you won’t be lonely.”

Zhao Manman slowly leaned back on the sofa, her heart filled with endless disappointment.

“Mid-Autumn Festival, if possible, please come home. I have some things I want to talk to you about.”

Ji Yunhai’s words continued to sting her heart.

“There will be plenty of opportunities to talk later.”

“Don’t we still have decades of life ahead of us?”

“Instead, the time we spend with the children is getting shorter and shorter. You should take the children out to play.”

“We are an old couple; communication isn’t that important.”

Zhao Manman’s feeling became increasingly real.

“Ji Yunhai, isn’t there anything you want to tell me?”

Ji Yunhai heard Zhao Manman’s tone and felt something was amiss.

Had something been discovered?

But he had always been very careful and meticulous in his actions.

If it had been discovered, given Zhao Manman’s proud personality,

She would have already turned against him; how could it have come to this point today?

If she knew anything, she would absolutely not be speaking to him so calmly.

Thinking of this…

Ji Yunhai’s heart also settled down.

“Don’t worry, wife, I will definitely work hard on the company’s business and earn money for you and our daughters.”

“That’s it then, I’ll hang up now.”

After speaking, Ji Yunhai proactively hung up the phone.

After he put down the phone, Liu Lanxia, who was beside him, also asked curiously, “Did she find anything?”

“No, our affairs are so secretive, how could she find out? Don’t worry.”

“In another six months, the assets can basically be transferred out very safely.”

Liu Lanxia helped Ji Yunhai tidy his hair.

“Alright, let’s make mooncakes properly.”

At Cai University, students had already started their holidays.

Liu Xiaoyan and Song Zhenzhen had packed their bags, planning to travel to Lijiang.

“Ting, Zhou Mengmeng, we’re leaving first. After we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, then.”

“Have you decided where you’re going to play?”

For university students who had just experienced freedom,

The arrival of the holiday was undoubtedly very exciting.

Ji Zhiting said expectantly, “My brother and I are going to Suzhou.”

Li Zhiyan had told her before that he would give her an answer in Suzhou.

This time, she had to get a clear answer.

As long as there was hope for them to be together,

Then she would try her best.

“I really envy you, Ting. That milk tea shop, the whole school is so envious now.”

“I wish I had such a good brother too.”

“By the way, Zhou Mengmeng, everyone’s leaving, where are you going to play?”

“Are you going home?”

Home, hearing these two words, Zhou Mengmeng felt a wave of sadness in her heart.

She had no home…

Her parents at home had never cared for her; they were very cold, and it had been like that since she was little.

And now their business was also getting worse and worse.

If she went home, her mood would definitely be bad every day.

Moreover, her sister would definitely not have time to accompany her.

“I… I plan to spend the National Day holiday in the dormitory.”

She remembered what Li Zhiyan had said before, to ask her again during the National Day holiday.

But now everyone was starting to leave school, and Li Zhiyan hadn’t asked for her WeChat yet.

Zhou Mengmeng still held some hope in her heart.

Hoping that Li Zhiyan could be with her.

Although it was difficult, perhaps it wasn’t impossible.

As long as she was wholeheartedly good to him, it might be possible to move him.

“No way, Zhou Mengmeng, how will you spend it in the dormitory?”

Zhou Mengmeng lowered her head… her voice was very small.

“Anyway, there’s a lot of food near the school, I’ll be fine at school.”

Liu Xiaoyan and Song Zhenzhen were also not in the mood to ask so many questions.

“Then we’ll go first, Zhou Mengmeng.”

“You take care at school, and we’ll accompany you when we get back.”

After the two of them left, Ji Zhiting also said goodbye to Zhou Mengmeng.

She didn’t know that Li Zhiyan was going to invite Zhou Mengmeng to Suzhou.

Soon, only Zhou Mengmeng was left in the dormitory.

Looking at the cosmetics on the table, Zhou Mengmeng thought that she still hadn’t repaid the money she owed Li Zhiyan.

She would find an opportunity to pay him back.

Outside the corridor, the noisy voices of girls kept coming through.

But soon, the corridor gradually quieted down.

The setting sun shone on the dormitory floor.

It didn’t make Zhou Mengmeng feel warm; it only made her feel endless loneliness and desolation.

She checked WeChat, Li Zhiyan hadn’t sent her a message.

She knew that she would have to spend this eight-day holiday alone in the dormitory.

After 7 PM…

Many families had already reunited.

Zhao Manman also felt very lonely in her heart…

Only she was alone in this vast villa, but thankfully, tomorrow she would have her children to accompany her.

This could also be considered a kind of blessing.

As she felt down, a porsche 911 drove up outside the gate.

Zhao Manman recognized it; this car belonged to Yang Xintao.

After that incident, Zhao Manman maintained a sense of curiosity about Yang Xintao’s affairs.

“Xiao Yang, you’re here.”

Walking out to greet her, Zhao Manman said hello to Yang Xintao.

“Mm, I’m here.”

Zhao Manman carefully looked at Yang Xintao.

“Xiao Yang, why do I feel like your complexion has improved a lot?”

“Your face is also much more rosy than before.”

“You look even better.”

Yang Xintao was slightly shy.

“Of course, a woman’s state when she has certain things and when she doesn’t.

Of course, it’s different.”

Zhao Manman thought of something.

“Did things work out between you and that young man?”

Yang Xintao said softly, “Mm… Young men and older men are really different.”

“Playing games several rounds in one night.”

“Even now, when I think about it, I still…”
