Chapter 905 Is that all?
Ji Jinchuan frowned.

Fang Yaqing curled her lips in self-mockery: "Send me to the hotel."

……

After Ji Jinchuan left, Shen Youran had been waiting for him at home. It was already two o'clock in the morning, and he had not returned yet.

He rarely comes home so late. Could something have happened?
She sat up hugging the quilt, took the phone from the bedside table, found his number and called.

The car stopped by the roadside, Ji Jinchuan got out and walked towards the 24-hour convenience store with lights on.

Fang Yaqing was sitting in the car waiting when Ji Jinchuan's cell phone, which was placed on the storage table, rang.

She stared at the lit phone and thought to herself: Why is someone calling him so late at night?

She took it hesitantly, and saw the word "Youyou" displayed on the phone. Just as she guessed, it was Shen Youran calling.

The two intimate words seemed to turn into a blade, cutting through her heart, causing sharp pain.

Her finger moved towards the word "Answer", and when she saw Ji Jinchuan coming out of the convenience store, she loosened her finger and quickly put the phone back, and the phone also became quiet.

Ji Jinchuan got into the car and handed her the bottle of mineral water.

Fang Yaqing looked at him, took the water, thanked him, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, and said softly, "Aren't you afraid that my sister-in-law will misunderstand you when you come to see me?"

Ji Jinchuan glanced at his watch. It was already past two in the morning. He reached out to take out his cell phone to call Shen Youran.

Fang Yaqing secretly regretted having said the wrong thing. Would he just abandon her and leave?

Seeing his hand about to touch the phone, she suddenly let out a gasp.

Ji Jinchuan looked at her: "What's wrong?"

She showed a painful expression: "My feet hurt."

Ji Jinchuan took back his hand holding the phone and went to a nearby hotel.

...Shen Youran looked at the darkening screen. She felt uneasy and a little thirsty, so she went downstairs to get some water.

Standing in front of the water dispenser, she took a glass of water, took a sip slowly, and looked at the European-style clock on the wall. The hour hand had pointed to half past two.

In the quiet living room, the ticking sound of a clock could be heard softly.

While drinking water, she wondered where he had gone and what he was doing in the middle of the night.
After drinking half a glass of water, she filled it again, went upstairs to the bedroom, picked up the mobile phone on the table and took a look. There was no call from Ji Jinchuan.

What on earth is he doing?
Didn't even call her back.

……

hotel.

Ji Jinchuan opened the door and walked in first, followed closely by Fang Yaqing.

Ji Jinchuan turned around and handed her the medicine he had taken from the front desk: "Remember to take the medicine yourself. I'm leaving first."

Fang Yaqing didn't reach out to take it, and there was a hint of sadness in her hoarse voice: "Can you stay with me for a while?"

Ji Jinchuan kept his arm stretched out, maintaining the posture of handing over medicine, his eyes as dark as a pool, looking at her without any emotion.

Fang Yaqing lowered her head dejectedly: "Since you can come to the cemetery to find me, you should remember that today is the anniversary of my parents' death."

Ji Jinchuan didn't say anything. This morning when he went to the old house, he saw her wearing a black dress and a daisy hairpin on her head. He just felt strange at the time. It was not until the housekeeper called him that he remembered what day it was today.

Fang Yaqing looked at him and said, "The uncle who guards the cemetery said that every year someone goes to pay tribute to my parents. Is it you?"

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You are abroad. As the eldest brother, this is what I should do."

Fang Yaqing stared at him closely: "Is that all?"
