Chapter 683: Why Break Up?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In a small restaurant with few people, Wu Qiuyun saw Ji Yuanyuan coming over and greeted her lightly, “Have a seat. Your senior sister will need a while more.”
Ji Yuanyuan sat down and turned to look at Wu Qiuyun, taking the initiative to find a topic to chat with her.
Although Wu Qiuyun was not talkative, she answered all the questions. The atmosphere was not awkward.
Cao Xiaorui only came over half an hour later, panting, “It’s all arranged.”
Not long after Cao Xiaorui sat down, the barbecue was served.
The sizzling meat was placed on the tray. Just looking at it made one feel very appetizing.
Cao Xiaorui took out a pair of disposable chopsticks and placed them in front of Ji Yuanyuan, “You can eat it without worry. It’s a raised sheep. I especially asked the shop owner not to add any seasonings when roasting. It’s fine for pregnant women to eat it.”
Ji Yuanyuan picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The mutton didn’t have a strong smell at all. Instead, there was a faint fragrance in his mouth.
“How does Senior Sister know they did not feed it anything weird?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously. “Where did this meat come from? It smells good.”
Cao Xiaorui also picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
As she chewed, she looked at Ji Yuanyuan, “How could I not know if it’s the sheep we raised together?”
Ji Yuanyuan’s chewing action stopped at once. She was in disbelief, “This mutton…”
Cao Xiaorui nodded, “The experiment is over. The experimental sheep is useless.”
Ji Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little strange.
“Smells good, right?” Cao Xiaorui asked when she saw that Ji Yuanyuan was silent.
Ji Yuanyuan swallowed the mutton in her mouth and nodded, “Smells good.”
Putting aside the origin of this sheep, this meat was indeed more delicious than the meat eaten outside.
After that hurdle in her heart, Ji Yuanyuan ate more happily than anyone else.
There weren’t many people in the shop. It was already past six o’clock, and they were the only customers in the shop.
Ji Yuanyuan was enjoying her meal when the wind chime at the door rang.
There were customers in the shop.
“What do you two want to eat?” The shopkeeper quickly went forward and greeted them. “The menu was on the table. You could order it yourself.”
Wu Qiuyun was talking to Cao Xiaorui about her plans for the next semester. Ji Yuanyuan casually raised her head and took a glance.
However, this glance stunned Ji Yuanyuan.
The person standing at the door was Xi Xin’an.
The girl beside him was not Yang Jingyi.
Xi Xin’an soon saw Ji Yuanyuan, and his face revealed an awkward expression.
However, Xi Xinan did not panic as she had imagined after the awkwardness.
He turned his head and said something to the girl beside him.
The girl nodded, and the two of them quickly left the shop.
After seeing Xi Xin’an, Ji Yuanyuan felt the meat in her mouth was no longer fragrant.
What was going on between Xi Xin’an and Yang Jingyi?
Xi Xin’an and the girl seemed to be very close. They were definitely not sisters or friends.
When Xi Xin ‘an saw her just now, apart from feeling awkward, he was very calm.
Could it be that between him and Yang Jingyi…
She hadn’t been in contact with Yang Jingyi recently.
Ji Yuanyuan ate the meat with a heavy heart.
Finally, Qin Mucheng came to pick her up after the meeting ended.
Ji Yuanyuan called Yang Jingyi as soon as she got into the car.
Yang Jingyi answered the phone quickly.
“What’s going on between you and Xi Xin’an?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Yang Jingyi fell silent. After a while, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ji Yuanyuan frowned, “I bumped into Xi Xin’an when I was eating outside. He was with a girl. What’s going on between the two of you?”
When she got married last year, Yang Jingyi and Xi Xin’an were doing well.
Although Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi hadn’t seen each other for a while, their relationship was still there.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan did not have any qualms when he spoke to her.
Yang Jingyi was silent again.
Seeing that Yang Jingyi didn’t say anything, Ji Yuanyuan said directly, “Where are you now? I’ll go find you.”
Yang Jingyi was silent for five to six seconds before she sighed and said in a low voice, “Actually, it’s nothing. I broke up with him four months ago. At that time, I felt embarrassed, so I didn’t tell you. We’ve broken up for four months. He’s already 27 this year. His family is also rushing him. It’s very normal for him to have a girlfriend.”
When Yang Jingyi talked about Xi Xin’an, her tone was very calm.
However, it was this dullness that made Ji Yuanyuan’s heart ache.
She still remembered how drunk and hysterical Yang Jingyi was when her brother rejected her.
“Are you at home now?” Ji Yuanyuan asked again.
“Yes, I’m at home. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine.” Yang Jingyi nodded.
The house that Hu Chunli bought wasn’t far from Yang Jingyi’s unit, so Yang Jingyi had always lived at home.
Hearing Yang Jingyi’s words, Ji Yuanyuan sighed. Yang Jingyi has matured.
“You guys… Why did you break up?” After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Back then, Yang Jingyi liked Xi Xin’an so much.
Yang Jingyi couldn’t stop smiling whenever he was mentioned.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been together for more than four years.
Why did they break up just like that?
“His mother disagreed. He’s the only child in their family.”
In a short sentence, Yang Jingyi’s bitterness was fully expressed.
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a long sigh in her heart but did not say anything else.
Even when they first started dating, Xi Xin’an knew about Yang Jingyi’s illness.
Even though they had been together for four years.
In the end, he could not beat his mother’s disapproval.
At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan did not know what to say.
On the contrary, Yang Jingyi comforted Ji Yuanyuan when she saw that she had not said anything, “Don’t worry about me. You’re pregnant.”
Ji Yuanyuan responded.
“Cheer up. I’m still young. Are you afraid that I’ll be alone for the rest of my life?” Yang Jingyi laughed again. “Three-legged toads were not easy to find, but there were many two-legged men.”
Ji Yuanyuan laughed and joked with Yang Jingyi before hanging up.
The smile on Ji Yuanyuan’s face disappeared as soon as the call ended.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Mucheng asked carefully, “Are we going home now?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, “It’s fine. I just feel sorry for Jingyi.”
Although she said it in a carefree manner, how could she let go of a relationship that had lasted for more than four years just like that?
She could not keep the breakup a secret from her if she had really let it go.
Qin Mucheng reached out and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, comforting her silently.
Ji Yuanyuan forced a smile and looked at Qin Mucheng, “Let’s go home.”
In order to divert Ji Yuanyuan’s attention, Qin Mucheng told her about the company on the way back.
“The project with Lin Nan’s company is developing well..”
