So they had all agreed that on the second day after Qin Xian left, Zhou Jiajia would come to accompany Shu Ran for three days, sharing meals and lodging together. Then at six in the evening, Zheng Tong would come to pick Zhou Jiajia up to go home and rest, and the next day he would take her back again.
It was easy to imagine how wonderful it would be, but reality was harsh.
After finally escaping from her cage, how could Zhou Jiajia possibly rush back at night? Of course, she chose to spend a lovely evening with her best friend.
As a result, Zheng Tong couldn't see his wife for those three days, and the company suffered as well. Meetings and overtime piled up, creating an atmosphere of "if I can't see my wife, neither can you go home to see yours."
Even Qin Xian, who was far away in D City, could sense the coldness in Zheng Tong's voice during their phone call, filled with pent-up frustration.
"Your voice sounds strange. What's wrong? Just two days away from Zhou Jiajia and you're already feeling irritable?"
Hearing this made Zheng Tong angry. Of course! If it weren't for Qin Xian, he should be lying next to Zhou Jiajia at this time, enjoying her warmth. How could he possibly run back to the office to work late just because his home felt empty?
You can't accompany your wife on a business trip and can't see her. Why drag him down too? Let my wife accompany your wife so that I can't see her either.
Really!
It's already good enough that he answers your calls; does he expect me to sweetly talk to him like a gentle little bird?
In his inner monologue, resentment surged within him. Zheng Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes and coldly replied, "What else can I do?"
Qin Xian laughed and teased, "Is Zhou Jiajia really that great? Can she enchant both you and my brother like this?"
To be honest, in Qin Xian's eyes, Zhou Jiajia was the kind of girl who could chatter endlessly without stopping. To put it nicely, she was lively and cheerful; to put it bluntly, she was a bit crazy and never quieted down.
Yet his friend and brother were both infatuated with this one woman. Moreover, they had even fought over her before, leaving their relationship in a constant state of tension.
No one likes their rival in love, even though Zhou Jiajia is already married to him. Sometimes, Zheng Tong still feels uneasy about how close they are.
Despite both of them being married, Cao Yun still can't let go. He hasn't found a girlfriend yet, and the reason is obvious.
Zhou Jiajia has never known about these matters.
Sometimes, Qin Xian wonders what charm Zhou Jiajia possesses.
It's not surprising that he managed to win over his brother; what's impressive is that he has also tamed the icy Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong didn't respond to him but raised an eyebrow and countered, "Then may I ask what charm Shu Ran has that can leave you so bewildered and infatuated?"
This time, it was Qin Xian who was left speechless. He paused for a moment before laughing, his voice alluring and immersed in the night.
Indeed, he was no different, having fallen into the embrace of tenderness.
Qin Xian shook his head with a smile and didn't argue further.
"Alright, the promotional project for Jia Sheng Real Estate will be handed over to your company. You can start at the beginning of the year," Qin Xian said seriously. "With the New Year approaching, consider this my gift to you for a good start, as well as an apology for the trouble with Zhou Jiajia these past few days."
Suddenly receiving a major project lifted Zheng Tong's spirits. With a sarcastic tone, he teased, "Tsk tsk… No wonder people in the circle say that Qin Shao is willing to spend lavishly for beauty. Seeing it today, it's indeed well-deserved."
Qin Xian rubbed his temples and replied lazily, "Alright, don't take advantage and act coy. I'm hanging up; I have other matters to attend to."
After hanging up the phone, the deep night returned to silence.
Mentioning it like that, Qin Xian suddenly missed Shu Ran.
It had been two days since they parted. During the day, it was manageable, but at night, especially in the deep hours, he couldn't help but think of her, just like during those days and nights studying abroad in M Country.
Back then, even just being able to look at a photo of her made him feel content.
But now, he not only had her photos, her phone number, her WeChat, and all her contact information, yet he felt more unsatisfied than ever.
All he wanted was to be by her side, to hold her, kiss her, and possess her.
But if none of that was possible at the moment, then he just wanted to hear her voice.
When he called, Shu Ran had just climbed upstairs, preparing to tidy up her clothes before taking a shower. Downstairs, Zhou Jiajia's laughter from watching a variety show filled the air, making the home feel lively and warm.
The phone by the bed kept ringing until Shu Ran finally heard it as she walked in. Approaching the bed, she saw Qin Xian's name flashing on the screen.
Shu Ran picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"
On the other end came the voice she knew best, "Shu Ran."
Shu Ran leisurely sat on the edge of the bed and replied softly, "Mm, I'm here."
As she listened to his voice, Shu Ran gazed out at the night view. Her clear pupils reflected the dazzling streetlights, making her momentarily lost in thought.
That day when she woke up in a daze, she saw him sitting beside her, staring at her intently.
He didn't know how long he had been sitting there, but the sky had already turned gray, and night was falling.
Shu Ran hadn't even had the chance to feel happy about seeing him before she heard him say he had to go on a business trip for three days.
Shu Ran was never one to hold someone back. Even though she didn't want him to leave and felt reluctant to let him go, she still smiled obediently and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and eat dumplings."
Qin Xian then realized that day was December 21st, and three days later would be the 24th. The Little New Year would have passed by then, so what would they eat dumplings for?
He finally understood the subtle sadness in her words.
Since the hurried moment they had seen each other after she fell asleep during a movie two days ago, they hadn't really talked or met again.
He had been busy; sometimes when he called, she happened not to have her phone with her and couldn't answer. By the time she called back, he was already in a meeting, and his phone was with Lina.
She understood everything. Qin Xian was rushing just to try to come back a little earlier.
What Ke Shuran was worried about wasn't whether he would return early or late, but whether his body could handle it.
It didn't matter if he came back a day later, as long as he was okay.
Although, she really missed him very much.
