Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 242 - 236 I Miss You! (28)
Ji Anning thought, her airways felt as if they were blocked, and she couldn’t breathe.
"After you left, he was drunk for two days and two nights."
Xiang Yiqing watched Ji Anning as he spoke, everything seemed as he had expected; he lowered his head and curved his lips into a smile that was somewhat complex.
Ji Anning’s heart tightened, drunk for two days and two nights, he was such a proud man.
Her tear ducts, which had just stopped secreting, began to overflow again, and the emotions pressing on her heart were so difficult to suppress.
What to do... she felt heartache!
She had regrets.
Xiang Yiqing looked at Ji Anning, he seemed to feel the pain she was suppressing, and he couldn’t help but feel pity for her, even considering the thought of giving up.
However, he felt that if he didn’t give them a little push, they would both end up in more pain.
So, since they had already started talking and had gotten to this point, he shouldn’t give up. Thinking this, he began to speak, "I’ve never seen him so disheveled before, perhaps there were times, but with his pride, it was my first time seeing that."
His pride... That phrase struck directly at Ji Anning’s heart; she too pitied his pride, how he could be calm and collected no matter how big the problem, ever since he was young.
To think he was drunk for two days and two nights.
What was he like when he was drunk? Did he vomit? Was anyone there to take care of him?
Xiang Yiqing continued, "Now, besides families with means who preserve their children’s umbilical cord blood at birth, it’s my first time seeing someone arrange for a blood reserve for an adult."
Ji Anning lifted her tear-stained face, looking at Xiang Yiqing with puzzlement, "What do you mean?"
To arrange a blood reserve for an adult... what did that mean?
"I figured you wouldn’t know this," Xiang Yiqing said, "You have a mild coagulation disorder, right? It’s difficult to stop bleeding once it starts. If he hadn’t left three years ago and stored blood for you at Fengming Hospital, the night you miscarried and couldn’t stop bleeding, things might have ended very badly, especially since O-type blood is always in short supply."
Ji Anning’s eyes widened, the tears welling up had no time to flow.
She had never thought, never ever considered, that the indifferent young man who wouldn’t even deign to give her a glance, had done so much for her.
Ji Anning felt as if her entire heart was being ripped apart, the pain was so intense she couldn’t breathe.
She staggered backward, leaning against a tree.
Xiang Yiqing’s voice paused only briefly before resuming, "I’ve heard from Helian about your relationship, if you really have no feelings for him, just pretend I’ve said nothing today."
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, took a deep look at Ji Anning, who was looking up, her mouth open, on the verge of breaking down, and then he turned and left.
Because he couldn’t stand to see her in such pain.
Because he had seen the answer, because it seemed his goal had been reached.
...
In the decrepit old street bustling at night, with various snack stalls, Ji Anning walked through the crowds, her appearance haggard and lifeless.
Like a walking corpse.
She regretted, she regretted, regretted everything.
She didn’t know how she opened the door, how she entered the room, how she lay down; all she felt was a complete emptiness in her heart.
’The normal relationship between us should be... that of husband and wife.’
’The outcome between you and me is without suspense.’
’It’s okay, I’ll keep feeding it to you until you get used to it.’
Ji Anning clutched her pillow tightly, but it failed to fill the void in her heart.
His domineering sweet nothings echoed in her ears, and the deeper the night grew, the more she thought of him.
