Chapter 1028 - 937: Little Schemes
Meng Yan placed Hua Tiantian in the back seat, gently laying her down. Watching her obediently close her eyes and fall asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. He said goodbye to Lu Qing, who had followed him out, and drove off first.Qin Miaomiao was very worried about Xu Jiaojiao. Just thinking about the way she drank tonight, she blamed Jin Jing, but also felt that Xu Jiaojiao kept too much to herself. Some words, once spoken, might make things better. She had a habit of bottling things up, and over time, wouldn’t that become a mental burden?
"How is Xu Jiaojiao?" Lu Qing asked.
Qin Miaomiao looked down at Xu Jiaojiao, who was resting drowsily on her lap, and said, "She might be tired; she looks like she really wants to sleep. Let’s take her home first, and then you can call Jin Jing and let him know."
"That’s all we can do."
At that moment, Jin Jing had just dropped Yue Chengjun at the entrance of her home, looking at the gate of the residential area, he said, "You’ll be okay on your own, right?"
"This is my neighborhood, I can find my way home even with my eyes closed."
Yue Chengjun wanted to lighten the mood and smiled relaxedly at Jin Jing.
However, his mood became heavy, and the thought of not knowing how Xu Jiaojiao had acted in front of them today made him uncontrollably anxious.
"Jin Jing, thank you for taking me home and for specially coming to take me to the hospital. I... I’m really grateful." As she spoke, Yue Chengjun hugged Jin Jing, holding him tightly with her protruding belly.
For a moment, he wanted to push her away but feeling her belly, Jin Jing thought of the child inside and shelved his original intention. Instead, he allowed Yue Chengjun to hug him, his face full of conflict.
"It’s getting late; you should head back soon."
Yue Chengjun let go of Jin Jing and said to him, yet her sharp eyes were studying his expression. She knew very well the feelings between Jin Jing and Xu Jiaojiao. Even if Jin Jing was here, was his heart here? His heart might have already drifted away. Rather than keeping him, letting him go early seemed more generous.
Jin Jing looked at Yue Chengjun’s smile and nodded: "You go inside first, and I’ll leave then."
Out of a sense of guilt, Jin Jing suggested she go home first. Saying nothing, Jin Jing turned and walked into the neighborhood. Only then did he return to his car, ready to leave.
All the way, Qin Miaomiao took care of Xu Jiaojiao, watching her open her eyes with a nauseous look. She kept retching, and Qin Miaomiao was worried she would vomit in the car, so she prepared a plastic bag just in case. In the blink of an eye, Xu Jiaojiao fell back into a peaceful state, slowly closing her eyes again.
Qin Miaomiao leaned back in the seat with a sigh of relief and fell into deep thought.
Lu Qing glanced in the rearview mirror, noticing Qin Miaomiao deep in thought. He knew it was because she was worried about Xu Jiaojiao; she was naturally concerned about others.
"We as bystanders shouldn’t interfere too much with their affairs. Even the best friends can’t manage others’ private matters. You don’t have to worry too much; Xu Jiaojiao and Jin Jing are both adults. It’s their relationship, and they’ll handle it."
"I know, but I still worry. You saw how much Jiaojiao drank tonight. If I hadn’t been keeping an eye on her, she would have finished that whole bottle of red wine."
Qin Miaomiao was initially happy about Xu Jiaojiao and Jin Jing making up, but suddenly they were at odds again. No need to ask why Jin Jing didn’t show up; a conflict must have happened. Just thinking about it felt exhausting.
"Jin Jing has had a smooth journey with everything since he was young, except for matters of the heart. Though I don’t know him very well, after drinking together a few times and chatting, I’ve learned a bit about that. Xu Jiaojiao’s pride is very strong; if you have the time, you should advise her more."
