Chapter 123 CPU Burned Ye Xuan
Now that Gu Ming knows the identity of the old man, and he himself is protected by the old man’s famous saying.
Gu Ming should not dare to act recklessly anymore, right?
If this guy is still messing around, then it’s the act of an idiot, and he won’t be sympathetic even if he’s sanctioned.
“Haha, since everything is resolved, I won’t disturb your old man’s leisure. I’ll take my leave first.”
Xia Zijie was very sensible. He knew that Ye Lingyu might change his opinion of him now, but he would definitely not accept him in his heart.
Therefore, it was best to take the initiative to leave at this time.
Ji Yunqi opened her mouth but did not make a sound, mouthing words to Xia Zijie.
Xia Zijie smiled to show that he had heard.
Ye Lingyu lowered his head and saw that Ji Yunqi had also closed her mouth, which displeased him greatly.
Damn it, it seems like the little beauty in the family is hooking up with the brat outside in front of me!
Even though Ye Lingyu knew that Ji Yunqi had no such intentions, he was simply unhappy.
This banquet was mainly to provide an opportunity for guests from all sides to communicate with each other, and for Ji Yunqi and Ye Lingyu, it was mainly to publicize Ji Yunqi’s identity.
And to solve the trouble of Gu Ming.
Now that those who knew Ye Lingyu had basically said hello, there was no need to worry about anyone threatening Ji Yunqi anymore.
“Awoo……”
Sitting in the car, Ji Yunqi started to feel sleepy again. As the months went by, the fatigue became heavier and heavier.
However, fortunately, it was only a slight increase in fatigue compared to normal.
It was just sleeping a few hours earlier than usual, and it was not a problem for now.
Looking at her still flat stomach, Ji Yunqi actually wished that the little guy would grow faster.
Others were afraid when they saw their bulging pregnant bellies, but Ji Yunqi was different. She would be scared if her belly didn’t grow.
Ye Lingyu, who had been paying attention to Ji Yunqi’s condition, naturally noticed this.
“Tomorrow, let Ye Xuan take you to the hospital to have a look.”
Ji Yunqi glanced at Ye Lingyu: “I know.”
The last time she was taken to the hospital for a check-up by Gu Yunlan, it was only a preliminary examination. She simply found out that she was pregnant, and the baby was doing well.
She had never had a proper prenatal check-up, so she might as well complete this step.
She’s not asking for anything else now. It’s not that important what happens to the child.
As long as this child is not a “fake person”……
She had seen too many so-called “fake people” during this time, they were not normal people at all, their intelligence seemed undeveloped.
…………….
“I think you’re fine, why are you suddenly going to the hospital?” Ye Xuan asked Ji Yunqi in the car.
Although he hadn’t interacted with Ji Yunqi much during this time, Ye Xuan could tell that Ji Yunqi’s body was very good.
There was no sign of any problems, so why did the great-grandfather suddenly ask him to take her to the hospital today?
Could it be… suddenly sick?
But if she was suddenly sick, why did she still look so energetic now?
It didn’t matter, anyway, during this time, the great-grandfather treated him as a tool, and made him do all the errands.
Even though he was a little unhappy, he couldn’t do anything about it, so he could only listen.
Ji Yunqi did not choose the previous hospital this time, but changed to another one.
After all, there were the Gu family’s connections there. In a sense, if she still went there, some test results might be at risk of being leaked to them.
Ji Yunqi didn’t want to cause herself trouble, so she might as well change to another one.
The one Ye Xuan brought Ji Yunqi to was naturally not an ordinary hospital, but a private hospital. Relatively speaking, the cost might be higher, but in other aspects, it was very reassuring for the Ye family.
“Oh my, what wind brought you here, kid?” As soon as Ye Xuan brought Ji Yunqi into the hospital, he saw a young man.
The young man was wearing a white coat and looked very handsome.
“I’m just bringing someone to see you here, and since you’re here, I’ll leave it to you?”
The young man shook his head. It wasn’t up to him to decide, let alone that he was in the obstetrics and gynecology department. If it was a routine check-up, it wasn’t his responsibility.
After a brief chat, Ye Xuan pulled Ji Yunqi in front of the young man.
“Here, aren’t you in charge of obstetrics and gynecology? This little girl needs to have her body checked. Gynecology, it’s very appropriate, right?”
At this moment, Ji Yunqi looked up and met the young man’s eyes, both of them feeling a bit awkward, as they didn’t know each other.
“Oh, right, right, let me introduce you.”
Ye Xuan said, putting his arm around the young man’s shoulder, and then smiling at Ji Yunqi.
“This is my good friend, Sun Hui, who studies medicine. You can trust him, don’t worry.”
Then, Ye Xuan introduced Ji Yunqi to Sun Hui: “This is my little sister, Ji Yunqi, 18 years old, and still a college student.”
“Hello.” Sun Hui extended his hand in greeting.
Ji Yunqi naturally did not refuse and shook hands with him friendly.
“Since you are Ye Xuan’s little sister, I’ll call you little sister too.”
“Ye Xuan, you can just wander around, I’ll take little sister for the check-up.”
Ye Xuan knew that Sun Hui separated his work and personal life. Doing a check-up for Ji Yunqi was part of his work. He didn’t like unrelated people following him during work, so Ye Xuan naturally agreed.
“Alright, alright, but after the check-up, you must tell me immediately. I have the right to know!”
“That depends on little sister’s wishes.”
They both looked at Ji Yunqi.
This made Ji Yunqi a little nervous for a moment.
No one else knew about her pregnancy yet, only Ye Lingyu and Jiang Hua knew. However, she didn’t intend to keep it a secret forever.
After all, in a few more months, when she was further along and her belly got bigger, she wouldn’t be able to hide it even if she wanted to.
She had promised Ye Lingyu that she would go to the hospital for a check-up this time. Since Ye Xuan wanted to know, let him know. Anyway, according to Ye Lingyu, her identity in front of outsiders was considered his… sister-in-law!
Ji Yunqi suddenly became curious, and wondered what his reaction would be when he found out.
“Then little sister, come with me.”
Ji Yunqi also entered the role in seconds. Since there were no acquaintances watching, she would just consider herself an 18-year-old girl… No! A young woman!
………….
An hour later…
Ye Xuan was sitting in Sun Hui’s office, with his legs crossed, playing on his phone, with no trace of nervousness on his face.
This was because he knew that his little sister was in good condition, and even if she had a check-up, it would be a routine check-up. What else could be checked?
So he was very relieved.
Creak.
When Sun Hui opened the office door, his face was clearly no longer as calm as before.
Ye Xuan was his close friend, and he naturally regarded Ye Xuan’s little sister as his own in a sense. He originally thought it was nothing, just a routine check-up.
But after the examination…
The result made him angry!
The girl was clearly only 18 years old!
She just… how could she… Alas…
Seeing Sun Hui and the other person return, Ye Xuan put down his phone and his leg.
“How is it? Is little sister okay?”
Sun Hui sneered: “Yes, she’s really fine. You can take a look.”
With that, Sun Hui threw the report in his hand to Ye Xuan.
However, Ye Xuan was not studying medicine. Even though Sun Hui was his close friend, he couldn’t really understand what these data meant.
He only knew that the report did not mention any particularly serious problems in Chinese.
“Hmm~ It looks like little sister is healthy, hehe~”
“Yes, of course she’s very healthy. Your little sister is healthy, and your little nephew is also healthy~”
“Right, so… what did you say?”
Ye Xuan looked up at Sun Hui, his face full of confusion.
Did he mishear? What’s a little nephew?
“It means this little girl is carrying one in her belly!”
“Ah?” Ye Xuan was completely stunned, what was going on?
Meaning, Ji Yunqi was pregnant…
“You’re pregnant?”
Ji Yunqi nodded, then touched her stomach: “Yes, but I forgot to say, this is not your nephew, it should be your little nephew~”
“Ah?”
“What?”
As soon as Ji Yunqi said this, Ye Xuan and Sun Hui were both stunned. What did they mean by this?
“To be precise, I am not your little sister, I should be your sister-in-law!”
“Ah?”
…………….
In the end, Ji Yunqi still left the hospital alone. After all, Ye Xuan’s CPU had been burned, and it would take some time to restart.
Ji Yunqi also needed to go and see Xia Zijie at this time.
After all, it was a promise, and she would not go back on her word.
As for how to find him.
This was very simple. Ji Yunqi still remembered where Xia Zijie lived. She could go and give him a surprise attack!
Maybe she could even give him a surprise.
She immediately went to do it!
Ji Yunqi didn’t hesitate at all and took a taxi directly to Xia Zijie’s residence.
She also bought some fruits. Although Xia Zijie might not be interested in them, she still had to show the necessary courtesy.
Maybe he wouldn’t be interested, but Ji Yunqi still had to give them.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Old Xia, are you home?”
Ji Yunqi did not hesitate and directly knocked on the door and shouted.
If Xia Zijie was at home, he would definitely open the door for her as soon as he heard her voice.
As expected, shortly after Ji Yunqi shouted, the door was opened by Xia Zijie.
However, Xia Zijie’s face was clearly a little nervous, which also aroused Ji Yunqi’s curiosity.
Xia Zijie was always calm and composed, and it was impossible to see any emotional fluctuations on his face. Why was he so nervous just by knocking on the door?
Could it be that he was doing… something bad?
Ji Yunqi looked Xia Zijie up and down and suddenly thought, wasn’t Xia Zijie an old bachelor who had been single for more than forty years?
Perhaps…
She didn’t ask anymore… it was too awkward.
“Wh-why are you here? You should have told me you were coming, and I would have picked you up. You’re pregnant, so what’s the point of you coming by yourself?”
“Okay, okay, let me in first.” Ji Yunqi waved the fruit basket in her hand.
Xia Zijie casually took it and pulled Ji Yunqi into the house.
“Why did you come to see me suddenly today?”
Ji Yunqi did not answer Xia Zijie’s question immediately, but instead looked around the room.
However, she did not find anything inappropriate. On the sofa behind Xia Zijie, there seemed to be a fan.
And it seemed to be a semi-finished product.
Wow.
A big man making fans at home, what was he going to do with that? It was hard to guess.
Most likely, it was for her, otherwise he wouldn’t be so nervous. However, it seemed like it was not yet finished, and was only in the semi-finished stage.
Since Xia Zijie didn’t want her to know, she would pretend not to have seen anything.
However, she was smart enough not to mention it.
“Are you very busy at home?” Ji Yunqi asked first, lest she delay Xia Zijie’s business, then she would be very guilty.
“Ah? No, I’m very happy that you came to accompany me. I don’t have any other things to do for now.”
“Then… can you accompany me out for a walk?”
Xia Zijie was slightly stunned. was this… Ji Yunqi inviting him out?
This… this was great.
Ji Yunqi had no other intentions. Xia Zijie had liked her for so many years and had helped her a lot.
Although she couldn’t leave Ye Mingkong and be with him, but… it was acceptable to reluctantly accompany him out to play and make up for him.
She could consider it as… playing with a friend of the opposite sex.
For Xia Zijie, it was also a kind of alternative date.
This was the only way Ji Yunqi could make it up to Xia Zijie.
“Okay, I’ll accompany you.”
Such simple words had completely expressed the joy in Xia Zijie’s heart.
This day…
Ji Yunqi spent almost all of it with Xia Zijie.
Ji Yunqi, of course, used the excuse that she was unfamiliar with Kyoto and asked Xia Zijie to show her around.
…………
At the amusement park…
Ji Yunqi sat on the bench, dangling her exposed bare legs, leaning against the armrest.
The afterglow of the sunset cast upon her, adding a touch of beauty to her.
Xia Zijie’s figure also approached from a distance.
“Here.” Xia Zijie naturally handed the sugar figurine in his hand to Ji Yunqi.
Looking at the girl biting the sugar figurine with a smile, Xia Zijie’s heart seemed to melt.
In the sunset, they sat together on a bench in the amusement park. Xia Zijie didn’t say anything, just quietly looked at Ji Yunqi.
Looking at this… white moonlight he had been secretly in love with for decades…
In the past, he always thought that he would only be able to watch her in secret his whole life, but he never expected to have the chance to be alone with her in middle age.
What else could he, Xia Zijie, be unsatisfied with?
As long as he could look at her a few more times, he would be satisfied.
Xia Zijie was very intelligent. Today, Ji Yunqi deliberately invited him out, perhaps to accompany him.
To accompany him, this… lonely and helpless person…
She… is really kind, even though she is pregnant, she still comes to care about him, that’s great…
“Excuse me, can I take a photo of you two?”
At this moment, a street photographer appeared in front of Ji Yunqi and Xia Zijie.
Looking at the high-end camera hanging around the man’s neck, Ji Yunqi looked at Xia Zijie again.
It would be nice to take a photo for him as a souvenir.
After so many years, she had never had a photo with Xia Zijie. As soon as she thought of the photo frame in Xia Zijie’s room with a photo of them from years ago, Ji Yunqi felt a little disgusted.
This kid, he could like her if he wanted to… but please don’t put old photos anymore!
Now that she was a beautiful girl, she looked more pleasing to the eye when taking photos with him.
In the past… what were those two big men all about?
“Okay, then make sure to take good photos of us~” Ji Yunqi said, then pulled Xia Zijie to her side, holding his arm. The two of them looked very intimate.
But in reality, only they knew that Ji Yunqi was simply hugging Xia Zijie’s arm, and Xia Zijie did not have any other subtle actions to touch Ji Yunqi deliberately.
He understood clearly that this was already his honor, and taking another step would be impolite.
“3, 2, 1, smile for the camera, cheese~”
Click.
At night…
Xia Zijie looked at the updated photo frame on the bedside table, and a smile could not be stopped on his face.
Then, he took out the unfinished fan from the side…
The fan was a round fan, and the fan surface was embroidered with exquisite phoenixes and other scenes with golden threads as embellishments.
If anyone saw it, they would definitely recognize it as the round fan in the bride’s hand during a Chinese wedding.
It symbolized reunion and happiness, joy and auspiciousness, warding off evil and avoiding disaster, and having many descendants.
It was the greatest blessing to the bride.
Unlike Luo Yao’s rough embroidery, Xia Zijie’s embroidery was very exquisite. Although it could not compare to that of the masters, it was already outstanding among ordinary people.
This fan was precisely what he had embroidered for Ji Yunqi, but he had planned to give it to her when Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong officially held their wedding.
Xia Zijie felt that he had no right to attend Ji Yunqi’s wedding.
Because no matter how willing Ji Yunqi was to make amends to him, or how willing she was to be friends with him, Xia Zijie knew very well.
Ji Yunqi’s family would definitely have some opinions about him. If he went, it would probably only make Ji Yunqi feel embarrassed.
In that case, it was better for him not to go, so as not to cause her trouble for no reason.
This fan would be his proof of participation in the wedding.
It was his blessing to Ji Yunqi.
………..
At the same time, in the manor on the other side…
Ji Yunqi tiptoed back home.
She dared not let the old man know that she had gone out to play, and had gone out with Xia Zijie. She would definitely be scolded if she was discovered!
Although Ji Yunqi was very careful, the moment she stepped into the living room, the lights suddenly lit up.
Ye Lingyu’s figure also appeared on the sofa exactly at that moment…
“Ah? Dad, you’re not asleep yet?”
“Haha…” Ye Lingyu just smiled, then patted the seat next to him, signaling Ji Yunqi to sit down.
Facing the old man’s half-smiling expression, Ji Yunqi could only shrug and walk over with her head drooping.
Ji Yunqi knew that what she had done was not easy to discover, but in reality, Ye Lingyu knew exactly what she had done all day.
However, he was ultimately unwilling to say anything.
Ji Yunqi did not have anything with Xia Zijie, she just accompanied him. Ye Lingyu had nothing to say.
Perhaps, in a sense, this was a good thing.
This fully proved that Ji Yunqi was not a heartless person, but a grateful and loyal person.
Although Ji Yunqi went out alone with an outsider, she maintained her boundaries well, which completely dispelled the slight dissatisfaction in Ye Lingyu’s heart.
It was normal for children to grow up and have their own ideas, as long as they were within limits.
“Dad… I…”
“Shhh~”
“Don’t say anything, you’re back late, you must be hungry, right? I made you a bowl of noodles, try it?”
Ji Yunqi was stunned, she looked towards the dining table, there was indeed a bowl of noodles there, and it was… the scallion oil noodles that his wife often made.
Ji Yunqi didn’t say anything more, sat at the dining table, and started eating.
She hadn’t felt anything at first, but after tasting the noodles, she started to crave them.
The noodles tasted really good. She didn’t expect her father-in-law’s cooking skills to be so good. It seemed like she could eat them more often in the future.
“Is it delicious?”
Ji Yunqi nodded with a smile: “It’s delicious, Dad, your cooking is so good?”
Ye Lingyu heard this and showed a proud expression: “Of course. No matter where a man is, it’s necessary to be able to cook well.”
This was consistent with Ji Yunqi’s own thoughts. She didn’t expect that the old man, as a Kyoto native, would also think this way. She had thought that only men from a certain place who were henpecked would have such thoughts.
It turned out that her father-in-law also thought this way.
“How was your hospital visit today? The results should be very good, right?”
“Mmm, of course, everything is fine. Both I and your grandchild are doing well~”
Ye Lingyu’s lips curved into a smile, and he reached out his somewhat old hand to stroke Ji Yunqi’s head.
“That’s good, do you want to go back?”
Ji Yunqi was slightly stunned. Did the old man mean…
Ji Yunqi wanted to say that she could go back, but when she thought about the things that had not been dealt with in Rongcheng, it was inconvenient to leave now.
“I’ll stay for a while longer. Anyway, it doesn’t matter in Rongcheng for now.”
“Okay, as you wish. If you want to go back, you can tell Dad anytime. It’s okay if you don’t want to go back, this is your home too.”
“Yes, I know, Dad.”
………..
After Ji Yunqi finished her noodles, she did not chat with Ye Lingyu for too long. She had promised Ye Xuan that she would participate in a public welfare activity with him tomorrow.
She had to rest well tonight, otherwise she would have no energy tomorrow.
Public welfare activities.
This made Ji Yunqi start to look forward to it. She wondered what she would have to do then.
Hopefully, it wouldn’t be anything strange.
