Chapter 277: Leaving
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shangguan Ning gave the leather suit and red wine which she had brought from France to Zhao Anan. She screamed in delight. She loved wearing leather suits most of all and told Ning that she would wear that when autumn arrived in one month.
“Oh, you little devil, good that you still have a conscience! I thought that you would abandon me completely after you got my cousin! Lun has visited me many times but you were nowhere to be seen in the past one month.”
Shangguan Ning smiled and hugged her guiltily. “I was abroad for some days and had too many things to do after I came home. So I didn’t get time to visit you. But it seems that you are doing very well! Look at you, a bit fatter than before. And your face is quite rosy as well. Is Mu Qing feeding a pig?”
“Go away, you are a pig! If I am a pig, you are the bride who has a pig as the bridesmaid. Then you are not a good animal either.”
“Alright, alright, I am not that smart either, okay? Shangguan Ning sat down next to her. “Zheng Lun has been here too? Then I will leave the presents here and you can give that to her next time you see her.”
“Alright, leave them here. But if she never comes, I will treat whatever is given to her as mine!” Zhao Anan rolled her eyes and smiled wickedly, looking a bit ridiculous. She couldn’t move her body and eyes were the only thing that could move for her along with the facial muscles.
“Oh yes, if you have time, please help me check out my restaurant. Mu Qing is a sc.u.mbag who prevents me from going anywhere except for the time when he indulges in free activities on the bed at night. For the rest of the day, he just turns me into a zombie. I will definitely kill him when I can move. No, I will break his legs so he can’t move either. It will be too easy for him if he dies so fast!”
Zhao Anan must be the only girl who could speak of words such as “free activities on bed”.
Shangguan Ning hadn’t visited her own café as well, because most of her time was spent on Jingsheng Enterprise as well as Liyu Science & Technology. She was involved in discussions regarding some new products. Since Zhao Anan had asked for a favor, she would definitely go and check up the place for her sake.
That was the place where she and Jing Yichen met for the first time. Destiny had made them come together. So she definitely was going to make sure that all went well with Zhao Anan’s restaurant.
Seeing Zhao Anan only able to move her face, Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but feel concerned for her. “Is everything okay with your body if you continue sitting like this? Do you think Mu Qing is going over the top? You are an outgoing girl, so do you get sick sitting so still? All aside, let me tell you, you look very nice in dress. People would think of you as a lady looking like this.”
Zhao Anan, however, didn’t accuse Mu Qing of anything. Instead, she smiled and said, “I am a beautiful lady, what do you mean by people ‘would think of’?”
She hated to sit still. But it was a rare opportunity to be with Mu Qing and she felt quite happy. Therefore, the hard time became cheerful as well.
Besides, she knew pretty well that she couldn’t stay by Mu Qing’s side all the time and that she was soon going to have to leave him. So she wanted to cherish it well and to the maximum.
But she couldn’t tell anyone about her decision, not even to Shangguan Ning or Zhao Zhao, because both of them wanted her to marry Mu Qing and they would give her a hard time about her decision.
She planned to be away for a long time so that Mu Qing would give up on her and marry a healthy woman and spend the rest of his life in happiness.
She knew pretty well that she would not be able to get pregnant again. She had been pregnant once and she knew how it felt to carry a baby. Her physical condition wouldn’t allow her to give birth to one more life.
She couldn’t accept that Mu Qing won’t have any children, because Family Mu would not want that for sure.
She didn’t want to put him into a dilemma.
He might be sad for a while after she left him, but atleast he won’t have to live his entire life in agony.
Suppressing the bitterness inside her heart, she talked with Shangguan Ning with a normal expression.
“My prettiest sister-in-law, when are you holding the wedding with my cousin? I am a busy woman and might not be available every day! Therefore, please tell me ahead of time so that I can spare the day for you!”
She planned to leave secretly after she attended Shangguan Ning’s wedding. She couldn’t quit halfway after promising her best friend. That was Shangguan Ning’s only wedding in her life, one that she must attend.
Also, Mu Qing would be the best man on that day and would be too busy to pay attention to her all the time. It would be the best opportunity for her to leave.
Shangguan Ning didn’t suspect her, because that was how Zhao Anan usually talked. She held Zhao Anan’s arms and teased her. “You are really busy in being the zombie in a hospital. Grandpa picked the date, and I got to know about it just recently – November 21st, please make sure that you are available on that day!”
It was September right now. November 21st was two months away.
Must it be so much longer?
She had thought that it would just take one month at most.
But then two months weren’t that long either.
Zhao Anan had found the perfect excuse to spend more time with Mu Qing. She could spend the following two months with Mu Qing with a carefree heart.
Shangguan Ning and Zhao Anan chitchatted for a while before seeing Mu Qing and Jing Yichen walk back into the cabin.
Jing Yichen was examined with devices, because he hated to be touched by others. He would rather get the radioactivity from the instrument than be touched by Mu Qing.
Shangguan Ning waved goodbye to Zhao Anan and left the hospital with Jing Yichen.
She glanced at Jing Yichen who had a poker face, in the car and asked, “How is it? Did Doctor Mu say that you are getting better?”
Jing Yichen looked calm and spoke in an unchanged tone, “Oh, you can try to find it out tonight.”
Shangguan Ning got p.i.s.sed. She flushed and scolded him. “Aren’t you shameless?”
Jing Yichen blinked and parked the car at the roadside.
“What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you tell me that I am shameless?” Jing Yichen almost laughed. He stripped off his s.h.i.+rt proficiently and then moved towards Shangguan Ning to to remove her clothes. “You can check it now. As it is, we haven’t done it in the car in a long time!”
