Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1190 - 1192: A Nighttime Conversation with My Son (Part 2)

"Of course, even if someone else were assigned, the Crown Prince wouldn’t agree."

Tonight, Xiang Yiqing and Qiu Yang were on night duty together. After finishing their rounds and heading back, they passed by the nurses’ duty room and once again heard them gossiping about the two of them.

Both of them heard it, and they tacitly chose to ignore it, even keeping their steps perfectly synchronized.

After walking for a while, Qiu Yang couldn’t help but laugh, "I have to say, the power of gossip in our country is truly world-class."

Xiang Yiqing also chuckled, "Ignore it, after a while it will die down."

Qiu Yang was a bit startled, then looked at Xiang Yiqing and said, "You’re still the same as before, facing everything so calmly and composed."

Xiang Yiqing said, "If it’s true, there’s no need to explain. If it’s not true, explaining is equivalent to covering up."

"Right, right, what you say always makes sense." Qiu Yang nodded, "Your understanding has always been the truth."

Hearing this, Xiang Yiqing turned his head, frowning as he looked at her.

The two of them looked at each other, and burst into laughter again.

...

After a night shift, Xiang Yiqing returned to his dormitory, did a quick wash, and then lay down on the bed to get some sleep when his phone suddenly rang.

He pulled the phone from the pocket of the pants he had just been wearing, saw that it was his mother calling, and couldn’t help but smile as he answered and put the phone to his ear.

"Mom," he called out, as he slowly lay back down.

"You should come home tonight; your grandpa wants to see you."

"Okay, I’m not on duty today. I’ll head back after I get some sleep."

"Then I’ll have them prepare lunch."

"I’ll hang up now."

After the call with his mom, Xiang Yiqing placed the phone on the small bedside table, pulled the covers over himself, and turned to face the wall.

Just as he closed his eyes, he inadvertently spotted a red mark on the wall, and upon closer inspection, could vaguely make out some words. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He opened his eyes again, staring at the lipstick writing for a moment, frowning.

That girl said something about getting engaged, but who knows if it’s settled? Have they picked a date?

She hadn’t come to bother him or called or texted him lately. She must be busy with the engagement arrangements, right?

Could it be... possibly she texted or called, and he was too busy to notice and ignored it?

Xiang Yiqing thought about it, turned over, reached for his phone, and checked his messages and WeChat, as well as missed calls. There was no record from Xin Xiaoxiao.

Only then did he confirm that Xin Xiaoxiao really hadn’t contacted him in the last few days.

"Sworn siblings, sworn siblings, if you won’t become sworn siblings with me, then we might as well get married, hmph!"

"Ha." Looking at Xin Xiaoxiao’s last message, Xiang Yiqing laughed softly.

He shook his head while laughing, locked the phone screen, and placed it back down.

...

Ji Anning, pregnant and idle at home, felt bored, especially without Fenfen around.

She would accompany Ji Chicheng to the office daily for a stroll, and in less than three months, Ji Mingyue had become perfectly at ease in the chairman’s role.

Exuding a great leader’s presence.

While Ji Chicheng and Ji Mingyue chatted, Ji Anning sat on the sofa, holding a magazine, flipping through it absent-mindedly.

Occasionally, she would glance up at them.

’Knock knock knock.’

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Ji Mingyue glanced over and responded, "Come in."

The person knocking heard the response and opened the office door, revealing a tall, slender man in a well-ironed shirt.
