Something’s off.
Really off.
This Ji Yunxiao in front of her was acting strange from head to toe.
Lin Qianwei still looked angry, pulling her hand back from Ji Yunxiao’s tight grip, quietly sizing up the person in front of her.
“I feel like I’m dreaming.” Ji Yunxiao wasn’t as agitated as before, but she was still pouring her heart out.
“It’s so good to see you.”
It had been eleven years.
After eleven years, the love of her life was finally back by her side.
How could Ji Yunxiao not be moved?
“I—I have so much I want to say,” Ji Yunxiao was still half-kneeling in the car, looking up at Lin Qianwei, her gaze soft and lingering.
“I want to tell you what happened after, want to tell you how much I like you, there’s so much I want to say, but I don’t even know where to start…”
The more Lin Qianwei listened, the more confused she got.
“I also want to hug you.” Ji Yunxiao’s eyes were full of hope, and her deep gaze seemed to hold starlight.
She asked softly, “Can I hug you?”
Lin Qianwei’s lips parted, about to refuse, but before she could say anything, Ji Yunxiao was already hugging her.
“You smell so good.” Ji Yunxiao buried her face in her neck, taking a deep breath and sighing contentedly.
“Even your scent is just like before.”
Warm breath brushed right against the delicate skin of her neck, making Lin Qianwei’s back tingle and her face flush red.
She was both embarrassed and angry, her voice trembling as she spoke.
“You—you get out…”
Stop doing these weird things to her.
“I’m not leaving.” Ji Yunxiao pulled her hand to her cheek, rubbing against her palm, and said, “You can hit me, you can yell at me, just don’t make me leave you.”
Because of her inexplicable actions, Lin Qianwei was shocked and at a loss for words.
The driver in front looked like he wanted to say something, and finally couldn’t hold back.
“Um, Miss Ji…”
Ji Yunxiao held onto Lin Qianwei’s hand, just turning her head slightly and asking in a low voice, “What is it?”
The driver’s eyelid twitched.
He’d seen Ji Yunxiao many times, but never once had he felt such a strong sense of pressure from her.
The driver was a bit stunned, but then Ji Yunxiao said, a little impatiently, “Speak.”
The driver flinched instinctively and blurted out, “You’re parked illegally.”
“The keys are still in the car,” Ji Yunxiao said calmly.
“Go move it for me.”
After that, Ji Yunxiao turned to Lin Qianwei with a gentle smile, her voice soft.
“Can I have your driver move the car for me?”
Lin Qianwei didn’t say no.
So the driver got out to move the car.
Once he was gone, Ji Yunxiao opened the passenger and back doors, picked Lin Qianwei up, and switched her to a different seat.
Lin Qianwei was startled again.
“What are you doing?”
“Why don’t you sit in the front? I’ll drive you somewhere.” Ji Yunxiao said gently.
She didn’t give Lin Qianwei any chance to refuse.
By the time Lin Qianwei realized what was happening, she was already in the passenger seat, and Ji Yunxiao was leaning over to buckle her seatbelt.
“Sit tight, baby.”
Lin Qianwei was completely thrown off.
Weren’t they supposed to be getting divorced? What was Ji Yunxiao doing now?
Lin Qianwei sat there, confused, and by the time she came to her senses, the car was already speeding down the road.
Could Ji Yunxiao even drive?
Lin Qianwei was getting more and more suspicious.
Neither of them said much on the way.
Ji Yunxiao noticed how tired she looked and told her to close her eyes and rest for a bit.
Lin Qianwei obediently closed her eyes, but then felt something was wrong.
Why was she listening to Ji Yunxiao?
But Ji Yunxiao was the one driving now.
If she didn’t cooperate, what if Ji Yunxiao dragged her down with her?
“Why do you keep looking at me?” Ji Yunxiao had one hand on the wheel, the other covering Lin Qianwei’s hand.
Lin Qianwei said in alarm, “Just focus on driving.”
She pulled her hand back and turned to look out the window.
Ji Yunxiao smiled faintly.
“Okay.”
Maybe it was because she hadn’t slept well last night, or maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, but Lin Qianwei only closed her eyes for a moment before she started to feel sleepy.
She actually fell asleep.
When she woke up, the car was already by the sea, the sun overhead blazing, shadows short—it looked like it was noon.
Lin Qianwei sat up, and the thin blanket covering her slid off.
Ji Yunxiao heard her move and turned around, pulling the blanket back up for her, asking gently, “You’re awake?”
Lin Qianwei didn’t answer, her expression cold, her beautiful face frosted over.
She didn’t look happy.
Ji Yunxiao asked worriedly, “Didn’t sleep well? Want to keep sleeping?”
Lin Qianwei got out of the car and looked around, asking coldly, “Why did you bring me here?”
Ji Yunxiao smiled, gazing out at the sea.
“This world is very different from ours, but it has a sea that looks almost the same.”
Lin Qianwei: “?”
Ji Yunxiao looked at her gently.
“Do you remember? When we parted, it was by a sea just like this.”
Lin Qianwei: “??”
Ji Yunxiao seemed lost in memory, her voice low.
“We were nineteen that year.
I didn’t know how much I loved you yet.
You brought me to the sea, confessed to me seriously, said you wanted to be with me.
I panicked.
That’s when I realized all those times you clung to me and said you wanted to marry me, you weren’t joking.
But I didn’t know how to face it…”
Ji Yunxiao’s smile was bitter.
“I didn’t say yes.
I said, give me some time, let me think about it.”
But after that, they never got the chance.
Because she didn’t get the answer she wanted, Song Qianqian was a bit upset and decided to go abroad with her family to clear her head.
But the plane they were on had an accident crossing the sea and crashed straight into the ocean.
“I’m sorry.
After you left, I finally realized I liked you.
I’d liked you since we were kids.
It was never just wanting to take care of you like a little sister.
I loved you.
I wanted to have you, to hold you, to do everything with you, to do all the happiest things in the world with you… But I’m sorry, I realized it too late…”
By now, Ji Yunxiao was sobbing uncontrollably.
“After your accident, I regretted it every day.
I kept thinking, why was I so slow? If I’d realized my feelings sooner, would you have not gotten on that plane? Would you have not left me…”
Tears streamed down the woman’s pale cheeks, dripping to her chin, full of regret, remorse, and unwillingness.
This side of Ji Yunxiao felt both familiar and strange to Lin Qianwei.
But Lin Qianwei was just left confused by what she heard.
She had no idea what Ji Yunxiao was talking about, she just felt inexplicably sad, so she stood there in a daze.
It wasn’t until Ji Yunxiao came over, took her hand, brought the back of her hand to his lips and kissed it gently, then said in a trembling voice, “Will you give me another chance? If you asked me right now what my answer is, I’d definitely tell you—I love you.”
Ji Yunxiao said, “I love you, Song Qianqian.”
Lin Qianwei almost got pulled into the story, right up until Ji Yunxiao said that name.
Song Qianqian.
What a joke.
Lin Qianwei pulled her hand back and let out a cold laugh.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, and I’m definitely not Song Qianqian.”
After saying that, Lin Qianwei turned to leave.
Ji Yunxiao froze for a second, then hurried over to block her, looking confused.
“How could you not be Song Qianqian?” Lin Qianwei’s thick lashes lifted, her red lips curving into a mocking smile.
“Ji Yunxiao, do you really think it’s fun to mess with me like this?”
Ji Yunxiao said anxiously, “Qianqian, I—”
Lin Qianwei’s eyes looked like they were dipped in ice, her gaze as sharp and cold as a blade.
She said coldly, “Don’t call me that name.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t,” Ji Yunxiao said, going along with her, then asked, “Then can you tell me what your name is now?” This was his Qianqian, Ji Yunxiao thought, there’s no way he could be wrong.
It was very possible that after Song Qianqian transmigrated into the book, she changed her name, and then forgot her past memories.
Ji Yunxiao held the woman’s slender wrist, coaxing patiently, “I was wrong just now, but I really want to know your name.
It’s important to me.
Will you tell me?”
Lin Qianwei didn’t want to bother with her.
“Qian—” Ji Yunxiao remembered she didn’t like that name, so she bit her tongue and changed it.
“Babe, talk to me, tell me your name, okay?”
Lin Qianwei finally lost her temper.
“Why are you calling me babe? Do you call every random woman you meet on the street, whose name you don’t even know, babe?”
“And besides,” realizing she was showing too much emotion, Lin Qianwei forced herself to calm down and said as indifferently as possible, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re still someone else’s wife right now.”
Ji Yunxiao took a couple seconds to react, then laughed softly.
“So that’s what you care about? I can explain.
I don’t even know that Lin Qianwei.
When I got here, I somehow ended up married, but I’m innocent…”
Even though she knew she might sound crazy, Ji Yunxiao still explained in detail how she transmigrated into the book.
Lin Qianwei: “?”
Ji Yunxiao pledged her loyalty again.
“You’re the only one in my heart, no one else.
And I’ve already arranged with President Lin to get divorced today.
I’ll be single again soon.”
Lin Qianwei: “…”
She finally realized that this Ji Yunxiao really didn’t know her.
If she was faking, then Ji Yunxiao’s acting was way too good.
Seeing Lin Qianwei fall silent, Ji Yunxiao said again, “If you can’t accept the whole transmigration thing, then just think of it as us being fated lovers from a past life.”
Ji Yunxiao looked at the face she’d traced over and over in her heart, and said sincerely, “I’m your lover from your previous life, and now I’ve come to your world to love you.”
Lin Qianwei’s face was expressionless.
“If you’re sick, go get treatment.”
Ji Yunxiao tried to explain, powerless, “I know it’s hard to believe, but everything I said is true.”
Lin Qianwei looked indifferent.
“Do you need me to make you an appointment at the psych ward?”
Ji Yunxiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Qianwei was baffled by her laughter.
“What are you laughing at now?”
Ji Yunxiao said, “Babe, you’re just so cute.”
Lin Qianwei: “…”
Lin Qianwei turned and walked away.
Ji Yunxiao chased after her.
She followed Lin Qianwei all the way to the city center, pestering her for her contact info the whole time.
But Lin Qianwei was unmoved.
“If you won’t give me your number, then at least add me as a friend, any app is fine.
Or even as a game friend, I’m really good at games, remember? Want me to carry you?”
Lin Qianwei was so annoyed that she finally pulled out a tube of lipstick, opened it, grabbed Ji Yunxiao’s arm, and scribbled a string of letters on it.
Ji Yunxiao couldn’t help but get excited.
“Is this your WeChat ID?”
Lin Qianwei said coldly, “Get out of the car.”
“Okay, I’ll add you right now, make sure you accept it.”
Before Ji Yunxiao could finish, Lin Qianwei slammed the car door and walked off.
Ji Yunxiao couldn’t wait any longer.
She stood right there in the sun, pulled out her phone, and typed in the string of letters.
After she finished, Ji Yunxiao realized something was off.
It wasn’t a WeChat ID at all.
The letters Lin Qianwei wrote were: youbingquzhi
Ji Yunxiao put her phone away, gently touched the mark with her fingertip, and laughed indulgently.
“Still… my wife is so cute.”
Ji Yunxiao didn’t laugh for long.
Soon, the smile on her lips froze.
Because she suddenly remembered—she was still someone else’s wife.
And from what Qianqian said earlier, she clearly knew about the marriage.
Ji Yunxiao pressed her fingers to her brow and cursed.
She had to get divorced, fast.
She hurried to the café, but of course, no one was there.
She could only call Lin Qianwei.
But Lin Qianwei hung up on her again.
So Ji Yunxiao switched to texting: [I’m already at the café, where are you?]
No response.
Ji Yunxiao kept texting: [Our marriage is in name only, there’s no point in dragging it out.
It’s not good for either of us.
Let’s just end things on good terms.]
Still no reply.
Ji Yunxiao got annoyed: [When are you coming? Or should I just send the divorce papers to your company?]
Finally, there was a reply: [I’m busy, I’ll be there later.]
Fine.
Ji Yunxiao ordered a coffee and kept waiting.
She ended up waiting a long time.
She was strikingly good-looking, and now with her unique aura, even in a simple T-shirt and sweatpants, just a casual glance outside could catch people’s attention.
Soon, a girl came in, cheeks a little red, and asked, “Sister, can I add you on WeChat?”
Ji Yunxiao’s long fingers rested on the rim of her cup.
She turned and smiled lazily.
“Who are you calling sister? I’m only…”
Ji Yunxiao took out her ID from her bag, glanced at it, put it back, and continued, “I’m only 20.”
Speaking of which, transmigrating into this book made her ten years younger.
Totally worth it.
When she smiled, her eyes and brows lit up even more, her whole demeanor radiating a wild confidence, which only made the girl across from her blush even harder.
The girl changed her words, “Um, little sister? Can I add you on WeChat?”
Ji Yunxiao raised her arm, answering with a question instead, “Do you see the lipstick mark on my hand?”
The girl was confused.
Ji Yunxiao patiently explained, “This is a medal my wife left for me.”
“A medal of love,” Ji Yunxiao gazed longingly at those letters, and said very politely, “So, sorry.”
The girl understood, her face falling, and she grabbed her friend to leave.
But her friend, sharp-eyed, spotted the divorce agreement on the table.
Ji Yunxiao had been in such a rush earlier that she’d just put it out on the table, which puzzled the friend.
She stopped, came back, and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, that’s a divorce agreement? But from what you just said, you seem to really like your wife…”
Ji Yunxiao leaned back on her chair, lazily saying, “Oh, that divorce agreement is for my other wife.”
The two girls across from her instantly widened their eyes, and the more hot-tempered one even cursed, “You—you cheating scumbag!”
Ji Yunxiao just raised her eyebrows, clearly not caring at all.
The two girls were left angry, annoyed, and helpless.
“Forget it, let’s go.”
The two of them left the café, and their voices could still be faintly heard in the wind.
“Shouldn’t we at least tell her two wives?”
“Let’s not get ourselves into trouble.”
“Why does she have to be a scumbag? I really fell for her at first sight…”
“Well, she does look like she has what it takes to be a heartbreaker…”
“Sigh.”
The two girls walked farther and farther away, until they disappeared around the corner.
But Lin Qianwei still hadn’t shown up.
Ji Yunxiao waited from afternoon until nightfall, and just as she was about to fall asleep, the bell at the door finally rang.
Ji Yunxiao lifted her eyelids for a look, and instantly snapped awake.
Walking in was a woman so beautiful it was almost unreal.
Her features were exquisite, her expression cold, dressed in a red dress, with chestnut brown curls draped over her shoulders, dazzling diamond jewelry hanging from her earlobes, and her slender waist outlined so perfectly it looked like it could barely be held.
The overhead lights spilled down, illuminating the seductive beauty mark at the corner of her eye, making her look breathtakingly gorgeous.
Ji Yunxiao’s heart couldn’t help but race, her eyes full of amazement.
“Qianqian…”
Lin Qianwei walked up to her, sat down, and said directly, “I’m here to talk about divorce.”
Ji Yunxiao was a bit slow to react.
“What?”
Lin Qianwei’s red lips parted, her words clear.
“I’m Lin Qianwei.”
Ji Yunxiao: “??!!!!”
