Chapter 5 Part5 Misunderstanding

Ji Cunxi's support gave Xinyi courage, she was no longer afraid to face the servants of Ji's family, anyway, she was always the young mistress of Ji's family, and she had to ask when she should. "I want to see the previous menu." She asked the cook for the menu, observed Ji Cunxi and Pearl's eating habits, and wrote down what they liked and what they didn't like.She also often interacts with the housekeeper and inquires about the daily affairs of the Ji family. Although she doesn't need to deal with it herself, she still has to keep an eye on it when necessary.

She also took the initiative to approach Pearl.Pearl loves pottery, and has set up a workshop and a kiln in the backyard. In her spare time, she enjoys kneading and modeling pottery. Xinyi will play with her and give her advice. "So you know this too?" Pearl was pleasantly surprised. "I have liked to play since I was a child, but unlike my grandma, who has such a great workshop." Xinyi laughed, "Grandma's craftsmanship is much better than mine!" "I'm just playing around." Seeing the granddaughter-in-law drawing the billet casually, Zhu Zhen pulled out a graceful shape and admired it very much, "It seems that you have some talent! Xinyi, do you want me to hire a special teacher? To teach you?"

"No need!" Xinyi quickly waved her hand, "I just thought it was fun, I never thought about becoming a potter." "Why not?" Pearl raised her eyebrows, "You are still young and have potential, as long as you worship under a famous teacher, your future will be limitless." she?The future is limitless?Xinyi shook her head.She never thought that kind of beautiful things would happen to her, and she didn't dare to have big dreams, because she always couldn't do it. "You really don't have confidence in yourself." Pearl seemed to see through her thoughts, "You should trust grandma, I specialize in collecting pottery, I don't have a very good eye, but I'm also very accurate. Yes... By the way, I will let Dylan see your work another day and let him appraise it."

"Dylan?" Xinyi was stunned.Why is this name the same as the man who gave her the pottery bowl of happiness? "who is he?" "He is an art dealer. I buy pottery works through him. He is very familiar with Master Zhongshan Long!" "Master Zhongshan?" Xinyi exclaimed, "He is the potter I admire most!" "I also love his works." Pearl smiled, her eyes suddenly clouded, "We used to have a relationship when we were young." "Really?" Xinyi was very curious, "Then what happened after that?" "Oh, that was a long time ago..." Zhenzhu sighed, talking faintly about the missed first love.

In this way, the relationship between the two women grew day by day.Originally, Pearl only thought of Xinyi as the mother of her future great-grandson, but later on she gradually liked her, and often called her grandson in private, asking him to treat this grandson-in-law well. Although Ji Cunxi also felt that he shouldn't neglect Xinyi, but there was inevitably a grudge in his heart, and he was still hot and cold towards this wife, keeping a distance. Xinyi understood his embarrassment, and didn't force it, but cared about him silently in her own way.She heard that Ji Cunxi didn't like take-out, but liked light taste, so she cooked the meal herself and asked the servant to deliver it to the company; knowing that he didn't have time to eat during the meeting, she made a nutritious sandwich that could be eaten while reading documents; The dishes were the same every day, so she tried her best to make them different.She washes his strawberry quilt carefully by hand; his study is full of Anna's photos, and she wipes the frames for him; his time is precious, and she helps him match his shirt and tie every morning, so that he doesn't have to worry about it; He leaves early and returns late, and the two rarely have a chance to talk, so she uses post-it notes to leave him messages everywhere, such as telling him not to work too late in the study at night, remember to eat late at night when he is hungry, and don't forget to add clothes when he is cold .

In fact, she doesn't know what a wife should do, but she tries to do what she can, because she wants to treat him well, and hopes that he will be radiant and always smiling. She didn't want to trouble him, and although the marriage probably lasted only nine months, she didn't want to cause him any trouble.She went to buy parenting books to read by herself, and went to the hospital for prenatal checkups by herself. "Are you here alone again today?" the obstetrician and gynecologist asked Xinyi. "Well, yes." She smiled awkwardly. The doctor told her last time that she hoped her husband could accompany her, "Cunxi...my husband's work is too busy, so I really can't take time off."

"Then we should find a way to spare time, after all, this is also his baby." The doctor was somewhat disapproving, "And there are many small details about pregnant women. I also want to explain to him and let him pay attention." "Just tell me, doctor." "Okay." The doctor stared at her for a moment, "Is the morning sickness still serious?" "Well, there is still a little..." After the prenatal check-up, Xinyi left the consultation room, still holding the ultrasound photo taken just now, and looked at it with a smirk—the baby is really growing up little by little!I don't know if it's a man or a woman?The doctor said that the gender is not yet known, but she hopes to be a handsome and cute boy baby, just like his father.

But no matter what the baby looks like, I'm afraid she can only take a look at it. At that time, she will have to leave the Ji family, the baby, and... him. Thinking of this, Xinyi stays in place sadly. "Hey! Isn't this my ex-girlfriend Chen Xinyi who made a lot of noise about her pregnancy?" A sarcastic voice sounded behind her. It's Gucci!She turned her head and looked at her ex-boyfriend with a malicious face in astonishment. Gucci smiled slyly, and looked her over from head to toe, "Why, come to the obstetrics and gynecology department alone? Do you want to have an abortion? Doesn't your rich boyfriend want to be responsible?"

She frowned and didn't want to pay attention to him, but his voice caught up again. "Let me just say, with you as a 'fish girl' with no looks and no figure, how could a man really want you? He's just playing with you!" Gucci's tone was very bitter. She glared at him, "What are you doing here?" "Me? I'll accompany my woman to the prenatal checkup." After everyone said that, a charming woman came over, and Xinyi recognized that she was Rebecca who was on the cruise with Gucci.Gucci embraced her and smiled triumphantly, "Let me introduce you, my fiancee."

"Yo! Gucci, isn't this your ex-girlfriend?" Rebecca's bitterness was exactly the same as Gucci's, "Why, she came to the obstetrics and gynecology department alone, because she wanted to have an abortion?" "I'll do the prenatal checkup!" Xinyi finally couldn't help but retort. "Do the birth check?" Gucci sneered, "No way? Are you really planning to give birth to the child? Are you not afraid that being a single mother is hard work?" "I am married!" "Married?" Rebecca raised her eyebrows, "Who is it? How dare you marry you!"

"It's me!" came the cold voice. The three of them turned their heads in surprise at the same time, only to see Ji Cunxi striding over with a cold face, hugging Xinyi into his arms, and appearing as a protector. "I, Ji Cunxi, married Chen Xinyi, do you have any opinions?" "No...no!" Gucci's face turned pale, remembering the scene of losing at the cruise casino, he still had lingering fears, he pulled Rebecca around and left. "You...how come?" Xinyi couldn't believe it. "You still ask!" Ji Cunxi stared at her dissatisfied, "Why did you come alone for the prenatal checkup? Grandma told me that the last time the doctor said he wanted me to come with you." "But... I guess you're busy..." "The baby is mine too, don't forget!" Ji Cunxi scolded, took her back to the treatment room, and listened to the doctor explain some precautions before they left the hospital. "Your company must still be busy, right? Go back quickly." Xinyi hurriedly urged him to leave. "how about you?" "I want to go buy some baby stuff, and grandma said it's time to start setting up the nursery." "Then I'll go with you." "What? You want to accompany me..." "Stop rambling, let's go!" Ji Cunxi forcefully stopped Xinyi. He was very upset, he didn't expect that Xinyi would be ridiculed for doing the prenatal checkup by herself.The reason why he married her was because he didn't want her to accept the strange eyes from the outside world, but she still accepted it. It's all because of his negligence, because he didn't shoulder the responsibilities of a husband, and from today onwards, this must be corrected.he decided gloomily. He accompanied Xinyi to the baby products store. Xinyi couldn't put it down when she saw everything. She grabbed a pair of small shoes and asked excitedly, "Cunxi, what color do you think is better? Blue or pink?" "casual." "I like pink, but if the baby is a boy, it would be better to buy blue." Xinyi hesitated. "Isn't that simple?" Ji Cunxi rolled his eyes, "Can't buy both colors?" He instructed the shop assistant to pack up all the baby products that Xinyi fancy, and buy more than two copies of each, "This way It doesn’t matter if the baby is a boy or a girl, it can be used by anyone.” "But it's such a waste, isn't it?" Xinyi was speechless, he almost bought the whole store. "It's not that our Ji family can't afford money." Ji Cunxi didn't care. Rich people are different!Xinyi smiled wryly.It's better for her not to go out shopping with him in the future, it's hard to guarantee that he won't book another shop. "By the way, I should also buy some of your clothes." Ji Cunxi had a thought, and led her to another maternity boutique, and sure enough, he scanned nearly half of the store's goods. "There are so many, I can't wear them at all!" Xinyi protested.How can anyone buy so many maternity clothes?Only wear it for nine months, what a waste! "Then you can change your outfit every day, so you won't get tired of it." He said easily. Xinyi looked at Ji Cunxi who didn't change his face, and was a little flattered. No matter what, he was treating her in his own way. "Thank you," she said. "Thank you for what?" Ji Cunxi frowned, with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Don't just say 'thank you' and 'sorry' all the time, it's not a big deal at all." It's just a husband's responsibility. "Anyway, thank you." Xinyi smiled softly. From that day on, the distance between the two gradually shortened. Ji Cunxi would accompany Xinyi to the birth checkup, and would take the initiative to care about her physical condition.He asked from the doctor that letting pregnant women drink leek and ginger juice and eat white sweet and sour eggs can improve morning sickness, so he stared at the kitchen and made it for Xinyi. Xinyi was very touched by his thoughtfulness. No one had ever treated her so well. Every boyfriend of hers would only ask her to give and never reciprocated. help. He deserves happiness like this. She decided to treat him better and teach him to be a good father before she left Ji's house. She hoped that he could form a sweet family with Baobao and Anna in the future. "Cunxi, come and see." She pulled him to read parenting books together, "Look at this baby, isn't it cute?" "Well, it's quite cute." Ji Cunxi glanced casually. "You see, the book says that a newborn baby is easily hurt. When bathing the baby, you must put a towel underneath to prevent slipping. Also, when you hold the baby, you must pay attention to protecting his neck..." "Just let the nanny pay attention to this." Ji Cunxi interrupted her, "Don't worry, we will hire a professional nanny to take care of it." "But the nanny is not the real mother and father, she will not give the baby all the love!" She was a little excited, afraid that the baby would be loved by no one, even a nanny, or even a grandma, could not replace the parents.If her mother is destined not to stay with the baby, at least his father must love him well. "Please, can you spend more time with the baby in the future? It's also good to talk to him." She begged. Ji Cunxi looked at her deeply, as if he understood her inner anxiety, his eyes dimmed, and he nodded, "I see." Only then was she relieved and continued to share the contents of the book with him.He looked at the smile on her face, and couldn't help being dazed. I don't know if a woman who is pregnant will have this kind of maternal brilliance. He thinks her expression looks so peaceful and beautiful, which reminds him of his own mother. When mother was pregnant with him, was she also so enthusiastic to share parenting knowledge with father? "Xinyi, you..." "how?" He wanted to ask if she would be sad when she had to leave her baby in a few months.But he couldn't ask, he could only stare at her blankly. Xinyi felt strange, and was about to ask again, when her mobile phone rang suddenly, she answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?" "I'm Dylan, remember?" The other party said with a smile in his voice. "Dylan? It's you!" she exclaimed in surprise.Ji Cunxi frowned slightly after hearing this.She gestured apologetically, left the bedroom temporarily, and went to the corridor to talk on the phone, "Why did you call?" "I asked for your contact number from the orphanage, and I want to greet you." Daren explained with a smile, "You don't mind, do you?" "Why? I should have called to thank you for the pottery bowl." "That's nothing. How, are you happy as a newlywed? Is your husband treating you well?" "He treats me very well." Xinyi smiled, and unconsciously glanced into the room, where Ji Cunxi was browsing the parenting book, "By the way, Dylan, I just wanted to ask you, do you know Ji Wangzhu?" "How do you know?" Darren was surprised. "So you are really the art dealer that grandma said?" "grandmother?" "Uh, actually my husband is Ji Cunxi." She lowered her voice in embarrassment. "What? You married Ji Cunxi?" Dai Lun exclaimed, "Is he the man who had a one-night stand with you on the cruise ship?" "How do you know?" Chang Xinyi was surprised this time.She thought for a while, and was very annoyed, "Could it be Father John who told you?" How could the priest casually tell others the content of her confession? "Don't blame Father John, I actually overheard it myself." Daren embarrassedly admitted that he had pretended to be a priest to listen to her confession, "I didn't mean it, please forgive me." What if she doesn't forgive?He had heard it anyway.Xinyi had no choice but to think about it, and she had an idea, "In this case, can you do me a favor?" "What's the matter? Just say it!" "I want to give grandma a gift, but I can't afford it, so I can only make it myself. I heard that you are very familiar with Master Zhongshan Long. Can you teach me how to make pottery works in his style?" "You want to do it yourself?" Darren laughed. "No problem! I can give you some advice." So, the two decided on a meeting time, Xinyi hung up the phone and went back to her bedroom. "Who is calling?" Ji Cunxi asked intentionally or unintentionally. "A friend." She paused, then added, "It's the pottery bowl made by Master Zhongshan that he gave me." "It's him?" Ji Cunxi narrowed his eyes, remembering how preciously she placed the pottery bowls in the room, and looked at them several times a day, feeling jealous inexplicably, "He is so generous, he must be on good terms with you, right?" "It's okay. Actually, I'm not very familiar with it. Come on, let's continue reading!" Ji Cunxi found himself feeling a little uncomfortable. To the pottery bowl that was regarded as a treasure by his wife, and the joyful expression on her face when she received the call from that man that night. He didn't understand why he cared. Of course, Xinyi had the freedom to make friends of the opposite sex. Her friends were nice to her, and it was none of his business to give her such an expensive art treasure. He was just... a little worried for her.Her man luck is so bad, she is always being dumped and used. He doesn't want her to be cheated again. That's all.He told himself, but couldn't help but began to pay attention to his wife's whereabouts.Since the last phone call, she has often gone out, and sometimes even came back later than him. When asked her, she only said that she was with friends. Is she dating a man?Ji Cunxi was unconsciously annoyed.Even if their marriage was just a nine-month agreement, she should respect her identity as Mrs. Ji. What does it mean to go out and fool around like this? Then, what made him even more angry, Anson happened to catch a glimpse of Xinyi with a man on the street. The man was still supporting her, and the two were intimate. He didn't have an attack on the spot, and he asked Anson not to meddle in his own business, but he kept it in his heart.One night, Xinyi received a call to go out, and he couldn't help but secretly drove behind her. She took a taxi and came to a mansion. After entering, it took nearly an hour before she walked out with a handsome man. He glared gloomily at the bright smiles on their faces, his fingers tightening on the steering wheel. "Thank you, Dylan!" Xinyi waved her hand, "Good night, bye!" She got into the taxi again. Ji Cunxi followed. At a red light, he stopped the taxi and knocked on the window, "Chen Xinyi, come out!" She was startled, and it took her a long time to lower the car window, "Cunxi?" "Come out!" he ordered sharply. Seeing his uneasy expression, she hurriedly paid to get out of the car, and got into his car with a big cardboard box in her arms, "Cunxi, why are you here?" "Are you surprised to see me?" Ji Cunxi sneered and started the engine, "Where did you go just now?" "I..." She was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the cardboard box in her arms, "I went to a friend's place..." "It's a man, isn't it?" he cut her off. She froze. "Chen Xinyi, are you still shameless? You are my Ji Cunxi's wife, and you actually went to have trysts with men over and over again!" "I go on a tryst?" "Don't try to argue, I've seen it with my own eyes!" He stared at her sternly, "It's true, we didn't get married because of love, and we will get divorced after a few months, but can't you bear it even for these few months? Do you have to be in such a hurry to climb into the man's bed?" She gasped in horror, "I didn't!" How could he humiliate her like this! "Lonely men and widows under one roof for an hour, don't tell me you are just drinking tea and chatting." He snorted coldly. "We're really just chatting..." "Enough! Don't lie to me anymore, I don't want to hear it!" Ji Cunxi didn't want to hear Xinyi's explanation at all, so he stepped on the accelerator and sped up the car. She quickly grabbed the doorknob, "Cunxi, drive slowly! Did you forget? Grandma said you can't drive faster than 60 kilometers per hour." "Fuck his 60 kilometers!" Ji Cunxi retorted angrily, but still slowed down, not because of the rules set by Grandma Gu Nian, but because she suddenly thought that she was pregnant and couldn't stand the violent shaking. He drove with a sullen face, and when he returned to Ji's house, he casually threw the car keys to the servant and dragged Xinyi in. "What's the matter? What happened?" Pearl was watching TV in the living room, and when she saw this, she asked in fright. "Ask her yourself!" Ji Cunxi's face was livid, "Look at what good things the granddaughter-in-law you insisted on doing!" "What did you do?" Pearl turned to Xinyi. "I...I didn't." Xinyi's face turned pale, "He misunderstood." "I saw it with my own eyes!" Ji Cunxi roared, "You still refuse to admit it? And this is not the first time, even Anson saw you fooling around with other men!" "Are you with another man?" Pearl was shocked. "No, grandma, it's... it's..." Xinyi stuttered in panic, "It's Dylan..." "Dylan? You mean Dylan who bought art for me?" Pearl frowned, "You had an affair with him?" "I'm not...I'm just going to get this." Xinyi couldn't argue with anything, so she had to hand out the cardboard box she was holding in her arms, "Grandma, you'll know it after you read it." Pearl took it suspiciously, opened the paper box wrapped in layers, and found a vase with a curve like a slim female body, "This is..." "That man must have given it to her!" Seeing the vase, Ji Cunxi became even more annoyed, "He gave her a pottery bowl before, but now it's a vase again." "I didn't give it away, I made it myself!" Xinyi declared eagerly. "What?" Ji Cunxi and grandma were stunned at the same time. Only then did Xinyi explain the whole story. In order to give her grandma a gift, she asked Dylan to teach her how to make Zhongshan dragon-style works. The two of them met frequently these days to make a good work. "So you did it for me yourself!" Knowing the intentions of grandson's daughter-in-law, Zhenzhu was so touched, she turned her accusation against Aisun, "Cunxi, what are you doing? Wronging people indiscriminately! Is this what grandma taught you?" ?” Ji Cunxi was at a loss, knowing that he had misunderstood his wife and was very sorry, but he could not say "I'm sorry" stubbornly. Xinyi didn't expect an apology from him, and stared at him sadly for a while, "Do you really think I'm the kind of woman who would betray a marriage?" Even if this marriage wasn't based on love, even if he didn't love her, she would Never betray him, "In the future, please don't misunderstand me like this again." After finishing speaking, she quietly turned and went upstairs. "You should apologize to her." After Xinyi returned to her room, Pearl persuaded her grandson earnestly. Ji Cunxi had a gloomy face, "I know." "What's the use of knowing? Do it! I don't believe you can't see Xinyi's intentions for you and this family these days. She really wants to be your wife. Do you think it's sent to your company at noon every day?" Who made the rice? Who do you think is so caring and knows what you want to eat and what you don’t want to eat? She washed your strawberry quilt by hand for fear of spoiling it. I passed by the study that day and saw her polishing Anna’s photo I wanted to remove those photos, but Xinyi refused to let me do that, she said that Anna is very important to you." Speaking of this, Zhuzhu almost became angry and couldn't help raising her voice: "Don't you think you are going too far? You are married to Xinyi, and you still miss Anna!" Hearing grandma mention his girlfriend, Ji Cunxi gritted his teeth, with mixed feelings in his chest, "I've always loved Anna, you know it!" It was just a stopgap measure to agree to marry Xinyi. "Anna, Anna, ever since you dated that woman, only you have devoted yourself wholeheartedly. What has she done for you?" Pearl curled her lips disdainfully, "She only wants to dance, and she doesn't even discuss it with you. Someone ran to New York! She knew that our Ji family was a single family for several generations, but she also declared that even if she married you, she would never have children. I really don't understand why you still miss that selfish woman!" "Because I love her!" Ji Cunxi growled.And love doesn't make sense.He loved Anna even though she had hardly been heard from since she left for New York. "Whatever you want! I'm too lazy to tell you, you have to think about who is truly worthy of your cherishing!" Pearl walked away angrily. The person he should cherish is of course Anna, Ji Cunxi thought angrily.He shut himself in his study, facing Anna's photo, meditating until midnight. He tried to recall the details of his acquaintance with Anna, thinking of Anna's smile, Anna's dancing figure, and Anna's playful appearance when she acted like a baby, but the strange thing was that Xinyi would always appear in the middle of the scenes. figure. She was on the boat, comforting him that Anna would definitely come back to him; she sent supper into the warehouse and dried his hair; the humble and lonely wishes she hid in the wishing box; she begged him to smoke more Spend some time with the baby; and she looked at him so sadly just now, please don't misunderstand her in the future. Ji Cunxi's heartstrings tightened, maybe he was a little sorry for her, maybe he should apologize to her. He quietly went back to the bedroom, Xinyi was already asleep, she was still sleeping on the sofa, her delicate body curled up into the shape of a shrimp was unexpectedly lovable. Ji Cunxi squatted down, his eyes lingering on her slender face. She really wasn't very pretty, at least not as good as Anna.She is very ordinary and has no personality. She is silent in everything she does and doesn't know how to take credit. No wonder people call her a "post-it girl" and has no sense of existence. But for some reason, the more she gets along with her, the more strongly her presence attracts him, making him unable to stop caring about her. Why?Ji Cunxi was puzzled.Suddenly, something fell out of her chest.He picked it up curiously, and it turned out to be an amulet sewn by himself, with a round, coin-like thing inside.He looked carefully and found that it was a chip. He froze for a moment. Could this chip be the one he gave her as a souvenir that night?Had she always worn it so dearly? Ji Cunxi's chest felt hot, and his heart beat faster. He looked at Xinyi's sleeping face, and with an impulse he didn't know where, he suddenly picked her up by the waist, and gently put her on the bed. She didn't wake up, she just rubbed her nose, waved her hands as if to drive away some annoying flies, then turned over, pulled off the quilt, curled herself into a shrimp shape, and continued to sleep soundly. He couldn't help being amused, and picked up his mobile phone to take a picture of her sleep, which could not be called elegant at all.Seeing that she was still sleeping sweetly, he suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, bent down, and slowly moved his lips closer to her inch by inch... "What are you doing?" She opened her eyes suddenly and looked at him bewilderedly. He froze.
