Chapter 6 Part6 Forever Swan

"I didn't do anything!" Ji Cunxi hurriedly stood up, threw the phone into the pocket of his pajamas, and refused to admit that he wanted to steal fragrance on a whim—why did he do that?Even he didn't understand why he was so bored. "I...why am I on the bed?" Xinyi didn't doubt that he was there, she sat up, a little dazed, and finally woke up after a long while, "Did you carry me up?" She couldn't believe it. Her tone was as if he had done a great thing!Ji Cunxi's cheeks were hot, and he reasoned roughly: "Who told you that you sleep so badly, you almost fell to the ground, I'm afraid you'll hit the baby in your stomach."

"Is it for the baby?" Xinyi murmured.That's right, how could he love her?She laughed at herself. "Why did you suddenly wake up?" He changed the subject. "I...uh, I feel a little hungry." She rubbed her slightly swollen belly awkwardly. "Hungry?" He was surprised, it's already past one o'clock in the middle of the night. "I don't know, I just want to eat." She smiled wryly, "Maybe the baby didn't have enough to eat at night." He looked at her, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." I heard that pregnant women would suddenly want to eat some weird food, no matter what it was, he would find it for her, as if... to her sorry.

She thought for a while, "I want eggs and ham." "Ham and eggs?" Ji Cunxi was disappointed.Her appetite is also too ordinary.Ham and eggs are already in the kitchen at home, so there is no need for him to go out to look for them. "Well, I want to put it on toast, and I want to add salad dressing." Thinking about it, her stomach couldn't help but growl, Xinyi hurriedly got out of bed, "I'm going to the kitchen!" Ji Cunxi followed unconsciously.The two came to the dark kitchen, Xinyi turned on the light, took out eggs and ham from the refrigerator, and dug out a loaf of toast from the cabinet.

She turned on the gas stove and poured oil on the pan. Just as she was about to beat the eggs, Ji Cunxi suddenly said, "Let me do it!" "Huh?" She was stunned, watching her husband come over and grab the pan, "Can you fry eggs?" "Don't underestimate me." He had a straight face, it was just an egg, what's so special about it? "But you never cook, why..." "Shut up!" He stopped her, "Anyway, I'll just make your supper." Who told her not to eat strange things, but to eat these?He had no choice but to cook in person to apologize.

But the ancients said that "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen". There is some truth in it. A big man like him who is used to killing and fighting in the mall knows nothing about kitchen affairs. Frying an egg and a few slices of ham can also make chickens fly The dog jumped, and the oil splashed. The most frightening thing is that he still refuses to admit defeat and insists on completing the task. Xinyi stared dumbfounded at the disaster Ji Cunxi had caused. After finally waiting for him to sweat profusely to grab a sandwich, the apron on his body was already covered with oil stains, which was horrible.

"Okay, eat quickly!" He also put on a cool face and ordered her, pretending that he could handle it with ease. She took the sandwich and looked at the burnt egg and even more burnt ham hesitantly for a while, er, it shouldn't be poisonous if you eat it, right? "Eat!" he urged. She took a deep breath, worked up the courage to take a big bite, chewed hard, and barely swallowed.Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, she forced herself to smile the most, "It's delicious!" "Really?" His eyes lit up. "Really!" She took another bite, "I didn't expect you to cook like this for the first time, it's amazing!"

"Of course, little Case!" He was rather proud. She ate slowly, bite by bite.Seeing that she had a good appetite, he offered to make another serving.She couldn't stop her, so she could only watch him sweat profusely and deliver another sandwich. "I can't eat anymore." She protested softly. "Can't eat it? Then I'll eat it myself, so as not to waste it." As he spoke, he picked it up and took a big bite. She didn't have time to stop it, she could only watch him choking and spitting it out, her face changed drastically, "It's so unpalatable!"

"No, I think it's good." She retorted weakly. "It's unpalatable!" He roared angrily, and gave her a stern look, "Why didn't you tell me just now? Why did you force yourself to eat it?" "Because...it's really delicious." She smiled.Even if the things he made for her were unpalatable, she would only feel sweetness after eating them. He stared at her, saw her smile like a flower, knew she was telling the truth, and was moved, but he said unforgivingly, "You are such an idiot! Why does Jiang Mother Island produce some idiots?"

She narrowed her smile, "Do you hate it?" Hate?Ji Cunxi was at a loss.No, he didn't hate it, not at all. "I just think... It's funny! You are a bunch of messy people, your father, mother, and your brother-in-law... Oh my god! Where did that Wu Qiqi come from? He set up a bunch of traps in the factory, In the end, I was busy jumping in!" He shook his head, thinking of Wu Qiqi's miserable situation that day, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He smiled brightly and joyfully, and his whole face was bright and clear, like the sun shining brightly. Xinyi was stunned, this was the first time she saw him smiling so happily, she never knew he could smile like this, like a naughty big boy.

It took a while for Ji Cunxi to stop laughing slowly, as if he felt that he laughed too much and was a little embarrassed, "You...you are really a bunch of weirdos." He came to a conclusion, staring at Xinyi with deep, complicated eyes, full of with some unknown emotion. Her heart was beating wildly when he saw her, and she lowered her head unknowingly. "Xinyi." He suddenly called her in a hoarse voice. "Ok?" "Sorry." Surprised, she suddenly raised her eyes, "What?" He coughed twice in embarrassment, turned his head away, "I shouldn't have misunderstood you, I...I apologize to you."

He apologized to her, and the prince said sorry to her, but he, who was always proud, was willing to bow his head to her!Xinyi was so excited, her chest was like a jar of honey, sweet and warm. "Of course you will accept it?" The tone of his question did not allow her to refute at all. "Yeah." Xinyi smiled softly.Of course she would accept it, in fact, she felt that she was lying on a cloud of happiness, a cloud like cotton candy, so soft and comfortable. "What's wrong with you?" Ji Cunxi blinked, her smile was so sweet and her expression was so beautiful that he felt dizzy for a moment. "I..." She was about to answer when a short message prompt sounded suddenly. Ji Cunxi took out the mobile phone in his pocket, saw that the text message was from Anna, with a serious expression on his face, he pressed the key, and read the content—— Honey, I'm going back to Taiwan! Her happiness came suddenly and went hastily. Since receiving Anna's text message, Ji Cunxi's whole body has been restless, and the relationship between the two husband and wife has finally frozen again. Xinyi understands his distress and doesn't blame him. On the contrary, Pearl can't see it and warns her grandson not to forget her responsibility for marriage. "I know, you don't have to keep reminding me!" Ji Cunxi almost lost his temper under his grandmother's repeated warnings. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xinyi took her husband back to the room, "Don't quarrel with grandma, she doesn't know that we have signed a divorce agreement, so she will force you like this. Don't worry, I believe that as long as you explain the whole thing to Anna The ins and outs, she will forgive you." will she?Ji Cunxi didn't dare to be so sure, even if Anna knew that this marriage was just a stopgap measure, she might not understand that he slept with other women by mistake. "Don't worry, I will help you explain to her." Xinyi promised. Ji Cunxi calmed down and weighed the current situation in his mind, "I think she should come back to celebrate my birthday for me, and she won't stay for too long, as long as I can hide it from her for a few days." "You mean we're going to put on a play in front of her?" "No need to act." He shook his head and looked directly at her, "You just need to hide for a while, don't show up." He told her to hide, don't show up?Xinyi was surprised, her throat was astringent, she didn't know what it was like.It makes sense, doesn't it?Of course he didn't want Anna to discover her existence, it would only cause friction between their feelings.But, why did she suddenly feel abandoned?It's like being forced to play hide-and-seek by classmates when I was a child, and then no one can remember to find her. Could it be that after she left, he also forgot to find her? "Then I'll go back to...Jiangmudao, I'll tell my grandma that I'll go back to my mother's house for a few days." "Yeah." He agreed. She packed her bags immediately.Unexpectedly, when Pearl learned of this, she was furious and forbade her to leave. "You are the young mistress of this family! Why do you want to avoid Anna? I won't allow it!" "But grandma..." "Cunxi wants you to hide, right? Then I want to introduce you to everyone! On Cunxi's birthday, I will hold a grand banquet so that all the friends of the Ji family can get to know you!" When Ji Cunxi learned of grandma's decision, he also made up his mind, "Okay, since grandma insists, I have my own way. I will bring Anna to the banquet that day and tell everyone that she is my real other half!" The grandparents and grandchildren were fighting, and Xinyi was caught in the middle, in a dilemma. Pearl didn't care about her embarrassment, and ordered the housekeeper to distribute invitations, prepare banquets, and invited a stylist to tailor a shiny dress for her, wearing a full set of precious jewelry. Just when the atmosphere at home was tense and explosive, Ji Cunxi suddenly received a call from Anna, saying that she had something to do and would delay her return for a few days. Ji Cunxi was stunned, "So, you won't be able to go back to Taiwan on Friday?" "Well, after I finish my work, I should return to Taiwan on Saturday." Saturday?It was already the day after his birthday!Ji Cunxi was slightly disappointed, "Do you remember what day Friday is?" He asked tentatively. "What day?" she forgot.Ji Cunxi's heart sank, it turned out that Anna didn't come back for his birthday at all. "I see. Let's see you on Saturday." He sadly hung up the phone and stood in front of the study window in a daze. Xinyi hid at the side of the door and heard what he said to Anna. Seeing his lonely expression, she probably guessed that Anna had forgotten his birthday and would not rush back that day. She looked at him distressedly, his back was long and looked so lonely.He must be very sad, right?She knew what it was like to be forgotten, and she felt it. She quietly turned and left, came to the nursery, took out the gift she had hidden in advance, looked at it for a long time, then took out a small card, changed it, and wrote blessings... It turned out that Anna hadn't forgotten his birthday! On his birthday, Ji Cunxi was very happy when he received the gift delivered by courier.He opened the box excitedly, and inside was a dark woolen scarf neatly folded, which seemed to be knitted by himself, and some places were not knitted very smoothly. When did Anna learn to knit?Ji Cunxi was surprised, held the scarf to his chest, and suddenly felt so warm - he never thought that she would knit a scarf for him by herself! He took out the attached small card, and there were only four simple words on the card: "Happy Birthday." But it was enough, it was enough to know that Anna had such a heart, and that she had not been forgotten. Ji Cunxi smiled happily, his mood that had been gloomy for the past few days cleared up, and he didn't even mind his grandma insisting on holding a birthday party for him.Since Anna is not here, let him have fun with Xinyi! "You seem very happy?" Xinyi probed into the study. "Hmm." He turned around with a smile, looked at Xinyi hiding behind the door of the study, hesitating to come in, "What's wrong? Why are you standing there? Come in!" Xinyi's cheeks flushed when she heard this, "Don't...laugh at me." She walked in timidly. Ji Cunxi's eyes lit up, and he saw her long hair tied up, wearing a rhinestone hairpin, wearing a pearl white dress, revealing her graceful neck and half of her fair back, tears in her ears, chest and wrists Drop jewelry. His heartstrings moved, and he couldn't help praising: "You are beautiful!" She was more charming than that day on the cruise ship, perhaps because of the gentle and gentle "pregnancy smell" on her body, which made her look more feminine. "Really?" Xinyi breathed heavily, not quite believing it. "Really!" he emphasized, "You are really beautiful today." Xinyi's face turned even redder, and she lowered her eyes shyly.She never thought that an adjective like "beautiful" could be applied to herself.She looked at the scarf lying on the desk, her eyes flickering. Ji Cunxi noticed her gaze, "Does it look good? It was given to me by Anna." He announced as if showing off. She turned her gaze back, "You like it?" "Of course I like it!" He laughed. "She wove this by herself. I didn't expect her to be so diligent and learn how to knit." He looked... touched. Xinyi stared at Ji Cunxi speechlessly, really wanted to tell him that she actually made the scarf, and there were a few wounds on her fingers that she accidentally stabbed! But she can't puncture his joy, it doesn't matter, as long as he is happy.As long as he is happy, she will be happy too. She smiled faintly, "Cunxi, grandma said we're going to have a dance tonight." "Of course, it must be." He nodded without hesitation. "Will you really dance with me?" She was pleasantly surprised, "But I dance very badly, and I have a baby..." "Don't worry, I'll take you with me." He looked at her with indescribable tenderness in his eyes, "We can dance a little slower, so that we won't be afraid of disturbing the baby." As he spoke, he bent his arms, motioning for her to hook her up.She obediently obeyed, and went downstairs with him, her heart beating violently in her chest. In the beautifully decorated hall, Zhu Zhu and a group of guests were waiting for them. When they saw the two people appear, they all expressed their admiration, looking at them as if they were looking at a pair of gifted men and beautiful women. Are they really a good match?Xinyi thought shyly, do you think they are a sweet couple?Today she is a princess, and he is her favorite prince. Pearl made a gesture, and the orchestra played a beautiful waltz.Ji Cunxi bent down, and the pose he invited to dance was handsome and dignified, like a real prince. Xinyi timidly stretched out her hand to him, he grasped it, and then led her to dance lightly. He is indeed very good at dancing, gently and softly, taking her to fly to heaven and pick the bright stars. "I'm...a little dizzy." "Am I jumping too fast?" He slowed down considerately, "Is the baby protesting?" "Baby is fine." It was her mother who couldn't bear the excitement, "Cunxi, do you know the story of Cinderella?" "of course I know." "The fairy godmother cast a spell and turned Cinderella into a princess, but after midnight, she will change back." She paused and sighed, "I feel like Cinderella." He frowned, hearing the faint sadness in her words. "Thank you for always being so kind to me," she whispered. "What's the matter?" He quickly clasped her waist, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" "I don't know, I just want to say it." Because she had a strange premonition that if she didn't say it, she might not have a chance in the future. "When I first saw you, I thought you were very proud and very bad." Get close, actually not, you are very gentle." "This adjective is not suitable for me." He said shyly, his expression a little stiff. "You are a good person, maybe you don't feel it yourself, but you... are really good." "What are you trying to say?" He was so embarrassed that his voice was hoarse, and he glared at her angrily. "I want to say..." I love you.But she couldn't say it, she could only smile mischievously, "Cunxi, do you remember my wishing box you found in the warehouse?" "I remember." "Do you still remember that you said that I have a wish, the same as yours?" "Yeah." Ji Cunxi nodded with deep eyes.When you meet someone you love, that person loves you too. "I really hope that one day that wish will come true." "You..." Ji Cunxi looked at Xinyi blankly, he felt as if he understood what she dared not say.But how should he respond?How to do?His heart was beating wildly and he didn't know what to do.Just when he was about to speak, a beautiful figure of Pingting flashed into his eyes, and he gasped—— "Anna?!" In the study, Ji Cunxi confronted Anna, Xinyi stood aside uncomfortably, and Pearl squinted, waiting to see how her grandson would deal with this problem. "Cunxi, how could you treat me like this?" Anna was furious, "How could you marry another woman without telling me? If my friend hadn't told me, how long are you going to lie to me?" "I'm not lying to you, there's a reason for this..." Ji Cunxi tried to comfort her. But she didn't want to hear it, "Betrayal is betrayal! What else could be the reason? Ji Cunxi, so you are such a ungrateful man!" Ji Cunxi frowned angrily, unable to argue. Seeing him distressed, Xinyi took the initiative to jump out and explain: "No, Miss Anna, you really misunderstood, Cunxi married me because of the baby." "Baby? Do you have a child?" Anna's eyes widened in shock, and just when she was about to continue scolding her boyfriend for being unkind, Xinyi spoke up first: "Miss Anna, listen to me, it's like this..." She told the story The ins and outs. Anna was dumbfounded, she didn't expect such a bizarre story behind it.She looked at Xinyi who was begging for her forgiveness, then at the disapproving grandma, and finally turned to Ji Cunxi. "I don't care what reason you got married, Cun Xi, I can forgive you for sleeping with other women by accident, but you have to give me an explanation, what are you going to do now?" "Anna, can you give me some more time? When the baby is born..." "Then what should I do during this time?" Anna looked at him sourly, "Will you wait obediently? Silently watch you go out with other women, see you being someone else's husband, and have an affectionate relationship with her." To dance together, to take care of her, to hug her—is that so? Cunxi, should I just wait like this? Do you have the heart to treat me like this?" Every word of Anna hit Ji Cunxi's heart, and he was heartbroken, knowing that he was sorry for his girlfriend. "You make your decision now, Cunxi, will you choose her or me?" Anna issued an ultimatum. "Yes, Cunxi, tell me!" Zhu Zhen asked her grandson to make up his mind after hearing her posed this difficult question, "Don't delay Miss Anna, I believe there must be many men out there who want to pursue her." Ji Cunxi understood grandma's hint that she wanted him to take the opportunity to reject Anna, but how could he do this? He couldn't hurt Anna, but he couldn't bear to hurt Xinyi either.He looked hesitantly at Xinyi, who was also staring at him.Her eyes contained deep sadness, as if she had already expected what he would do. He remembered what she said just now, she was Cinderella, and the dream would disappear after midnight. "Cunxi, tell me! Who do you choose?" Anna urged. He tightened his body, grasped the desk with his hands, and suddenly touched the corner of the scarf. With a thought, he picked up the scarf, and the warm touch penetrated directly into his palm. This is the scarf Anna gave him, and she knitted it herself... "I choose Anna." He announced hoarsely, "She is the one I really love." The air froze instantly.Anna smiled relaxedly, grandma bit her lips angrily, and Xinyi remained expressionless and did not speak. After a long time, she raised her lips mockingly, turned and left silently. Before midnight, she has already woken up from her dream—she is not a princess, but an inconspicuous Cinderella.
