Chapter 374: Something’s Wrong
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Everything was like a movie, flashing past Ji Yuanyuan’s mind one by one.
After the movie ended, Ji Yuanyuan struggled to sit up in bed.
The ghostly pressure finally disappeared, and she panted heavily.
After a while, Ji Yuanyuan finally calmed down.
She pulled open her pajamas and held the Jade pendant around her neck.
With the Jade pendant in her hand, she could finally settle down.
She lay back on the bed, but could not fall asleep.
The things that happened in the dream just now were clearly things that happened to her and Qin Mucheng in her previous life.
At that time, she had already been married for a few months.
Qin Haowen had already suffered a stroke and was lying in the hospital. Cheng Shuqin was taking care of him.
The heavy burden of the Qin family fell on Qin Mucheng, who was only twenty-five years old at that time.
Although Qin Mucheng had been studying with Qin Haowen in the company after he graduated, Qin Haowen’s illness came too suddenly.
Qin Mucheng was not prepared at all. There were many things that he had to slowly figure out by himself.
In addition, he was too young at the time, so many of the company’s founding members were eyeing him covetously.
He started to leave early and return late and began to socialize day and night.
She naturally knew he had been working hard, so she would wait for him to come home at night. She had never cooked before, but she would learn to make soup from Auntie Wu.
If there had not been so many misunderstandings in the past, the two of them might have become a loving couple.
However, Qin Mucheng was silent and did not explain anything. Her mind was very sensitive and it was very easy for her to let her thoughts run wild.
Just like in this dream, it could have been avoided, but it had become a misunderstanding.
Qin Mucheng did not let her wait for him at night and did not let her make soup. It was obvious that his heart ached for her, but he did not say anything and even put on a cold face. She mistakenly thought Qin Mucheng was unhappy that she had done some useless things and caused trouble.
After that, Qin Mucheng did not go to the master bedroom because he was afraid he would return too late. He was afraid he would disturb her if he took a shower in the bathroom. However, he still did not say anything. She mistakenly thought Qin Mucheng was tired of her and did not want to face her.
She, on the other hand, was not only sensitive and easily overthinking things, but she was also very petty.
If she had asked Qin Mucheng one more question in the living room, she might have found out Qin Mucheng’s true intentions.
If she could run over and asked Qin Mucheng after she went to the guest room, she might be able to realize how good Qin Mucheng was to her.
However, their personalities led to the end of their previous lives.
She had lacked love since she was young, which led to her sensitive and suspicious character. The love she wanted was passionate and strong.
Qin Mucheng was used to seeing the long-term relationship between his parents since he was young. Now that there was a sudden change, he was exhausted. What he wanted was to be by her side silently.
The misunderstandings from back then could only be understood from a third person’s perspective.
Lying on the bed, Ji Yuanyuan closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep again.
With the Jade pendant in her hand, Ji Yuanyuan slept very soundly.
The next day, Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin took some time to accompany their family on a trip.
Qin Junshan’s legs were not good, so he did not follow them.
They went to the largest Museum in B City and went to the underwater world.
In the evening, Qin Haowen even invited them to have dinner on the top floor of the tallest building in B City.
As long as one lowered their head, they could see the lights of thousands of homes below.
The entire city seemed to have become small, and the people coming and going below were smaller than ants.
The family stayed in B City for four days and visited the entire city.
Seeing that it was already the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, the family decided to return the next day.
Since Qin Junshan was going to spend the new year here, it was inevitable for relatives to visit each other.
Hence, Qin Mucheng would most likely be unable to go to S City for the winter break.
They would only meet again during the next summer vacation.
Qin Mucheng was very reluctant to part with Ji Yuanyuan. At night, he pulled Ji Yuanyuan along and stayed until after 10 o’clock before reluctantly sending her back to her room.
Thinking about how she was about to be separated from Qin Mucheng, Ji Yuanyuan’s mood was a little low.
She had slept very well the past few nights, but she had a dream again this night.
On a rainy night, Qin Mucheng stood by the window and looked at the tree in the courtyard in a daze.
The tree trunk was missing a piece, and the bark had been cut off. It was bare and ugly.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. In the storm, the tree was on the verge of collapse.
Qin Mucheng seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned around and walked out.
He went downstairs and instructed Auntie Wu, “Help me find some rope and a few sturdy wooden sticks.”
Auntie Wu was a little surprised. As she watched him walk out, she quickly said, “Sir, please take an umbrella. The rain is too heavy outside.”
However, Qin Mucheng walked into the courtyard on her own as if he did not hear what Auntie Wu said.
Auntie Wu quickly took an umbrella and followed him. “Sir, you’re going to catch a cold if you are drenched like this.”
“Hurry up and give me a rope and a wooden stick!” In the rain, Qin Mucheng pushed away the umbrella in Auntie Wu’s hands and shouted.
Aunt Wu had no choice but to go to the small building next door and call the butler out. She found a wooden stick and a rope for Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng braved the heavy rain and made solid support for the dead tree.
The Butler and aunt Wu wanted to help, but Qin Mucheng shouted loudly, not allowing them to touch it.
Aunt Wu and the Butler had no choice but to accompany him.
After she was done, Qin Mucheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. He muttered, “Alright, it won’t fall down this time.”
When aunt Wu saw this, she quickly pulled Qin Mucheng back into the house.
She went upstairs and filled the tub with hot water for Qin Mucheng. She then urged Qin Mucheng to take a bath.
After Qin Mucheng went upstairs, Auntie Wu passed a towel to the Butler. “You’ve worked hard. Hurry up and take a hot bath. It’s raining so heavily. Don’t catch a cold.”
The Butler took the towel and asked in confusion as he dried his hair, “This tree, what’s so special about it that Master cherishes it so much?”
The Butler hadn’t been working for the Qin family for long, so he naturally didn’t know about this.
However, Auntie Wu had been working for the Qin family for almost twenty years, so she was more familiar with the Qin family’s Affairs.
She said in a low voice, “This tree was personally planted by Master’s mother when he was born. The meaning of nature is different, so it’s natural to cherish it.”
The Butler nodded and left.
The floor was covered in water. Auntie Wu brought a towel over and carefully wiped the water off the floor.
As she was wiping, aunt Wu suddenly sighed and muttered, “Why do you have to do this? What’s the point of guarding a tree when the people have already left?”
The scene changed, and it was already late at night.
On the spacious bed, Qin Mucheng was lying on the bed. His face was pale as he muttered, “Yuanyuan, don’t go…”
There was a wedding photo on the bedside table.
Ji Yuanyuan suddenly opened her eyes.
The sky was almost bright.
She lay on the bed and thought about the dream she had just had. Suddenly, she frowned.
Something was wrong!
