Ji Yunxiao’s hopes were dashed.
Because Lin Qianwei brought her to the entrance of a hospital.
“Why are we at a hospital? Are you sick?” Ji Yunxiao looked worriedly at the beautiful woman in the driver’s seat.
But Lin Qianwei just glanced at her without answering, and kept looking for a parking spot.
It took a while to find an empty space, but it was so narrow that Lin Qianwei tried several times and still couldn’t park.
Her delicate brows furrowed, and she instinctively looked at Ji Yunxiao.
Ji Yunxiao felt that pleading look and, without waiting for her to speak, smiled and said, “Let me park.”
“You do it.”
After Lin Qianwei said that, she bent down to take off her flats, planning to change into a pair of nude-colored heels.
Her ankle was pale as snow, with a delicate, porcelain-like sheen.
Ji Yunxiao only glanced at it, but couldn’t look away.
Lin Qianwei lifted her lashes and asked coldly, “What are you looking at?”
Ji Yunxiao noticed a scab on her ankle and frowned, asking, “Did you get hurt?”
“Just scraped it by accident, it’s already healed.”
As Lin Qianwei spoke, she was about to get out of the car, but Ji Yunxiao stopped her.
“Wait.”
There was a hint of confusion in Lin Qianwei’s eyes, but she didn’t move.
After getting out from the passenger side, Ji Yunxiao walked over to Lin Qianwei, opened the door, half-squatted, and gently cupped that porcelain-like ankle in her hand.
Lin Qianwei couldn’t help but shiver, her face faintly flushing.
“What are you doing?”
“I just want to see if it’s serious.” Ji Yunxiao focused on the scab.
Lin Qianwei pulled her foot back and pursed her lips.
“I told you, it’s nothing.”
Ji Yunxiao smiled.
“Got it.”
After being touched, Lin Qianwei didn’t dare look at Ji Yunxiao again, but Ji Yunxiao brazenly stared at Lin Qianwei’s nude heels and said, “These shoes don’t really match your dress, but with a little touch-up, they’ll look different.”
Lin Qianwei glared at her.
“What are you trying to do?”
Ji Yunxiao stood up, raised her hand, and untied the silver-gray hair ribbon holding up her hair.
In an instant, her ink-black hair fell loose, and she casually tucked it behind her ear.
Then she bent down again and wrapped the hair ribbon around Lin Qianwei’s ankle, tying a beautiful knot.
The only blemish—the scab—was now hidden, and at this moment, Lin Qianwei’s ankle looked like a work of art, even more tempting after being adorned.
“All done,” Ji Yunxiao helped Lin Qianwei out of the car and smiled gently at her.
“I’ll go park.”
Lin Qianwei stood there, momentarily dazed.
Ji Yunxiao had already parked the car with practiced ease, and when she came over, Lin Qianwei finally remembered to look down.
The hair ribbon was tied around her ankle, not the least bit out of place, and it complemented her heels perfectly.
And there was still a faint warmth left on her skin from Ji Yunxiao’s touch, making her heart race just thinking about it.
Lin Qianwei gripped her clutch, glared at Ji Yunxiao, and warned coldly, “Don’t try these little tricks on me.”
Ji Yunxiao replied obediently, “Okay, I’ll be careful next time.”
Lin Qianwei didn’t say anything else and walked straight ahead.
Ji Yunxiao followed behind her, about to ask where she felt unwell, when she heard Lin Qianwei say sourly, “You seem pretty skilled at this.
Do you usually use these tricks to coax women?”
Ji Yunxiao couldn’t help but laugh.
“I wouldn’t do this for anyone else, don’t worry.”
Lin Qianwei glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and walked even faster.
Ji Yunxiao hurried to catch up and finally asked what she’d wanted to ask earlier.
“Qianwei, are you feeling unwell?”
Honestly, her wife coming to her when she wasn’t feeling well and asking her to come to the hospital together made Ji Yunxiao pretty happy.
It meant her wife cared about her.
Of course, Ji Yunxiao was also a little worried.
But soon Lin Qianwei told her, “I’m not sick.”
Ji Yunxiao was puzzled.
“If you’re not sick, why come to the hospital? You’re not here for work, are you?”
Lin Qianwei said coldly, “I’m here to take you to see a doctor.”
Ji Yunxiao was speechless for a moment.
“Take me to see a doctor?”
What illness did she have? Ji Yunxiao asked, “Are you worried about my health? Or my kidney function? Or do you want to check if I have any STDs?”
If that was the case, Ji Yunxiao could understand.
After all, the original owner wasn’t very reliable and had almost been caught cheating by Lin Qianwei at a bar.
If Lin Qianwei was suspicious, it was understandable.
She’d cooperate with the checkup.
But Ji Yunxiao never expected that Lin Qianwei wanted her to see a psychiatrist.
Ji Yunxiao sucked in a breath.
Her voice faltered.
“Wait, um… wife, do you think I have mental problems?”
Lin Qianwei’s expression was indifferent.
“What kind of normal person says they’re from another world?”
Ji Yunxiao said, “Alright then.”
Ji Yunxiao’s eyes curved as she chuckled.
“If you’re worried about that, I’ll cooperate.”
She did a brain CT, an MRI, and a bunch of other tests, then went to the psychiatrist for a mental evaluation.
Lin Qianwei gave her plenty of space and didn’t come in.
In the consultation room, it was just Ji Yunxiao and a few doctors.
“Don’t be nervous, we’re just going to ask a few questions.” The doctors were all very friendly.
“Mm,” Ji Yunxiao smiled.
“I’m not nervous.”
Not only was she not nervous, she was completely relaxed and answered every question with ease.
The doctors exchanged glances, and the oldest one looked at Ji Yunxiao and suggested, “Maybe we should call Miss Lin in.”
Ji Yunxiao waved her hand.
“No need for that.”
Ji Yunxiao asked directly, “What does my wife suspect? That I have delusional disorder? Or schizophrenia?”
A young female doctor looked at Ji Yunxiao with interest and said, “I’ve met you once before, and you were very different from how you are now.”
“Mm,” Ji Yunxiao glanced at the name tag on her chest and said calmly, “Dr. Bai, right? I can tell you very clearly, I did it on purpose before.”
She had no need to tell anyone about transmigrating into a book, and she didn’t need anyone’s approval.
What she needed to do now was prove she was mentally sound, and for that, she needed a reasonable story.
Luckily, Ji Yunxiao had already thought it through.
She made up a story for the doctors on the spot.
In this story, she was still the Ji Yunxiao who had been switched at birth, but all those vicious and brainless things she supposedly did were now things she had deliberately planned.
“I was living just fine before.
My parents loved each other, my family was harmonious.
That family wasn’t as rich as the Ji family now, but I was an only child, never suffered any grievances, and got tens of thousands in pocket money every month.
But after I was brought back?” Ji Yunxiao spoke slowly, “After I was brought back, sure, I had more money, but I lost my freedom.
My biological parents looked down on me, my biological brother was afraid I’d bully the precious little sister he grew up loving, always warning me.
The family wanted me to get along with the girl who was switched with me, told me to treat her as a sister, but she was always scheming against me, always trying to disgust me.”
“And that’s not even the worst part.
Do you know what’s even more outrageous? When I just turned twenty, they forced me into a marriage alliance, made me marry a woman.” Ji Yunxiao sighed, “I was unwilling, but I couldn’t go against my family’s arrangements, so all I could do was act out, make trouble.
I thought if I was nasty and had a bad temper, Lin Qianwei would divorce me, so I did my best to play the villain.”
Ji Yunxiao’s tone dropped just the right amount, sounding dejected.
“But I didn’t expect that when Lin Qianwei really wanted to divorce me, I couldn’t let her go.”
“Yes, I finally regretted it.
I finally realized I’d already fallen in love with Lin Qianwei without even noticing.”
“I couldn’t tell her that I did all that on purpose, because I was already in love with her.
I knew I’d done too many wrong things in the past, and she couldn’t and wouldn’t forgive me, so I made up a clumsy lie.” As Ji Yunxiao spoke, her eyes shimmered with tears.
She said with emotion, “I told her I wasn’t the old Ji Yunxiao, that I came from another world, because I thought, if I wasn’t me, but someone completely different, maybe she could still fall in love with me.”
Ji Yunxiao wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, looking a little aggrieved.
“Of course… I know this idea is childish, but I’m only twenty.
I’m allowed to be childish sometimes, allowed to have wild thoughts, right?”
By the time Ji Yunxiao finished her story, the test results were out, and there really was nothing abnormal.
The older female doctor came over and patted Ji Yunxiao on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, “No matter what, lying is wrong.
And when you make a mistake, running away doesn’t help.
You should be honest with Miss Lin and have a good talk.”
“I understand,” Ji Yunxiao said.
“Thank you, Dr. Wang.”
Lin Qianwei waited anxiously for the results.
This private hospital was funded by the Lin Group, so of course the doctors would do their best for Ji Yunxiao.
But she still didn’t know what the outcome would be.
Finally, Ji Yunxiao pushed open the door and came out, and the specialist doctor also came over to Lin Qianwei and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Ji is perfectly healthy.”
The doctor handed the test results to Lin Qianwei, then added, “The rest, let Miss Ji tell you herself.”
Lin Qianwei looked at Ji Yunxiao suspiciously.
Ji Yunxiao raised her eyebrows at her and smiled gently.
On the way back, Ji Yunxiao couldn’t bear to let Lin Qianwei change her shoes again, so she offered to drive.
Lin Qianwei didn’t refuse.
But her brows were still tightly knit.
She kept flipping through the test results, a little annoyed.
“So, all that stuff you said about transmigrating was just a lie?”
At a red light, Ji Yunxiao looked at Lin Qianwei and said softly, “I didn’t lie to you.”
Lin Qianwei said, “So what, does that mean I’m the one who’s sick?”
Ji Yunxiao laughed, “Of course you’re not sick either.”
After dropping Lin Qianwei off at the company, Ji Yunxiao got out, thought for a moment, and said seriously, “If you’re confused, if you’re still troubled, then just treat me as the old Ji Yunxiao.
Just think of it as me turning over a new leaf, okay?”
What happened to her was too unbelievable.
It was normal for Lin Qianwei to have trouble accepting it.
Take it slow.
Take it slow.
Ji Yunxiao was about to leave, but Lin Qianwei called out to her, “Wait a second.”
“I just want to know one thing.” Lin Qianwei looked at Ji Yunxiao, her eyes unreadable.
Ji Yunxiao asked, “What is it?”
Lin Qianwei stared at her and said softly, “I want to know, will you ever turn back into the old Ji Yunxiao?”
Ji Yunxiao was a little stunned.
Actually, she’d thought about where the original Ji Yunxiao had gone.
Did they swap lives? Or had she disappeared? Would the original Ji Yunxiao ever come back? And what would happen to her then?
Ji Yunxiao had thought about all these questions, but never found an answer.
But at this moment, looking into Lin Qianwei’s eyes, seeing the hope in her gaze, she suddenly felt absolutely certain.
She answered, “I won’t turn back.”
Ji Yunxiao’s voice was clear.
“From now on, the only Ji Yunxiao by your side will be the one standing here.
Only me.”
Lin Qianwei let out a breath of relief.
Actually, as long as it was this Ji Yunxiao, it was fine.
In fact, she didn’t want Ji Yunxiao to have a split personality.
Even though that would explain what happened to Ji Yunxiao better, if there was a split personality, it meant the other Ji Yunxiao could come back.
And Lin Qianwei didn’t want to see the old Ji Yunxiao.
She didn’t want the current Ji Yunxiao to leave, either.
“Honestly, I still feel like there are a lot of things about you that don’t make sense, but since the doctors say you’re not sick, I’ll just go with that for now.” Lin Qianwei glanced at the hair tie on her ankle, wanted to bend down and take it off, but stopped herself.
“I’ll give it back to you after I wash it tomorrow.” Lin Qianwei’s expression was calm.
Ji Yunxiao smiled and nodded.
“Okay.”
She glanced at Lin Qianwei’s ankle, a strange smile flickering in her eyes, but Lin Qianwei didn’t notice.
Lin Qianwei worked late, not getting back to her apartment until ten at night.
She turned on her phone and saw a message from Ji Yunxiao: [Not coming home tonight?]
Lin Qianwei typed: [I told you, that place is yours now.]
She rubbed her aching temples, planning to take a hot bath to relax, but then she noticed the hair tie still wrapped around her ankle.
It looked nice, but it was time to take it off.
Lin Qianwei tried several times, but the knot only got tighter.
Lin Qianwei was getting frustrated.
She even found scissors, wanting to just cut it off, but at the last second, she couldn’t do it.
All she could do was take a picture and send it to Ji Yunxiao, typing furiously: [This is your doing.]
Ji Yunxiao played dumb: [Such a pretty ankle.
But why are you sending me this in the middle of the night?]
Ji Yunxiao called her, and when Lin Qianwei picked up, she heard a lazy, smiling voice through the receiver: “Are you trying to seduce me?”
Lin Qianwei retorted coldly, “That’s not what I meant at all.
I just can’t get the hair tie off.”
After she said it, she wanted to delete the photo, but it was already too late.
More than two minutes have passed, so it can’t be withdrawn.
The more Lin Qianwei thought about it, the more annoyed she got.
She threatened Ji Yunxiao, “You better figure something out.
If you can’t untie it, I’m just going to cut it off.”
Ji Yunxiao was in no hurry, his tone relaxed.
“Go ahead and cut it, but you’ll have to compensate me.”
Lin Qianwei’s face turned cold.
“Name your price.”
Ji Yunxiao chuckled.
“President Lin, not everything is about money.
That hair tie was handmade by me, I put my heart into it.
There’s only one like it in the whole world.
You can’t put a price on it.”
Lin Qianwei pressed her lips together.
“So what do you want?”
Ji Yunxiao said, “Let me think.”
Lin Qianwei glanced at the clock on the wall and urged, “Hurry up, I still need to take a shower.”
Ji Yunxiao replied, “How about this, I’ll come over now and help you untie it.
How does that sound?”
Lin Qianwei hesitated.
“It’s already really late.”
Ji Yunxiao softened his voice, almost like he was whining.
“It’s not like I’m going to do anything to you.”
Lin Qianwei relented.
She said, “Then come over as soon as you can.”
In less than five minutes, the doorbell rang.
Ji Yunxiao, all dressed up, was standing outside the door.
Lin Qianwei opened the door, her beautiful face full of confusion and speechlessness.
“Why did you get here so fast?”
