Chapter 25

林霁从未见过江旋这样咄咄逼人，锋芒毕露的样子，惊愕的看着他。江旋无奈的苦笑了一下，道：“阿霁，方才吓着你了吧，抱歉……我……小姑姑是我祖父的私生女，16岁才被接回江家来养，她就是这个样子，以前还陷害过我大伯父，家里的人都怎么待见她。她乱说我道没什么，她以前也没少说，我都当做耳旁风，不搭理她就行了，可我……我就是受不了她污蔑你。我刚才那个凶神恶煞的样子一定很难堪吧？？”林霁这才回过神来，急忙道：“不，你为我出头我很高兴，你很勇敢，还有小旋，你……刚才那个样子……很耀眼夺目，很美，我都看呆了。”江旋脸一红，羞涩的说：“哪……哪有你说的那么好。”说完微微垂下头，不敢直视林霁的眼睛。林霁仿佛受了蛊惑一般，也低下头，想亲吻江旋。江旋看到林霁凑近的唇，心里一惊，连忙别开脸，尴尬的道：“进来这么久了，我们都还没吃东西，你一定饿了，我们去找点儿东西吃吧？”林霁抬起头，失落地道：“嗯，好。”于是两个人悄悄找了个角落专心吃东西，避免应酬，谁知道才刚落座，一个黑发蓝眸的混血男子就笑着走了过来，招呼道：“Jen，好久不见了。江旋连忙站起来，给了男子一个大大的拥抱，道：“William，是啊，真高兴能在这里见到你。”林霁放下食物，看着江旋和混血男子亲昵的举动，不满的皱了皱眉，以手握拳掩嘴重重咳了一声。William这才注意到林霁，笑着问：“这位就是霁吧？你心仪了很久终于追到手的老公？”听到William的话，江旋愣了一下，有些黯然的想：是呀，可惜马上就要分开了呢。但还是勉强笑着说：“William，你不要那么直白啊，这样讲我会很不好意思啊。”接着介绍道：“嗯，这是我的……老公，林霁，你可以叫他阿霁。”接着又向林霁介绍道：”阿霁，这是我的大表哥William。”林霁这才放松戒备，礼貌的笑着与William握了手，随意客套了几句。江旋问：“诶，William，刚才我好像看到了Jason，你们怎么没在一起啊？”William露出一个苦涩的笑容说：“前段时间我们分手了，今天他还带了新的未婚妻来恭贺大伯的生日，我怎么好上去给人家添堵呢？”江旋遗憾的道：“抱歉，但是怎么会这样呢？？一年前你不是还在筹备订婚的事吗？”William垂下眸子，道：“还不是因为我那个妈，当然其实也不全是因为她，主要还是我们两个之间缺乏信任感，不适合在一起，再说他那种身份，我这种平民百姓可高攀不起。”江旋道：“表哥……。”William忙扯出一个暖暖的笑，握着江旋的手说：“算了，反正我是一个喜欢自由自在的人，贵族的生活也不太适合我，现在我想去哪儿就去哪儿，这样也挺好的不是吗？”江旋点点头，说：“嗯，总之你想开了就好。”William说：“没什么想不开的，感情这种事本来就是合则来，不合则散，不是吗？？好了不说这些了，我要过去帮爸招呼宾客了，他生了Cindy以后身体一直不太好，我担心他一个人忙不过来。”江旋道：“嗯，你去吧。”William拍拍林霁的肩，小声道：”小旋心仪了你好多年，为你付出了很多，你一定要给他幸福哦。”林霁郑重的点点头，说：“表哥，我知道，你放心，我会的。”William满意的冲林霁点点头，同二人道别，回到大厅中央去了。等William走远了，江旋才想起来问：“William刚刚跟你说什么啊？”林霁神秘的笑笑说：“不告诉你，快吃吧，等下凉了。”江旋嘟嘟嘴，看了一眼林霁，无奈自己向来没有反抗林霁的习惯，所以只好听话的乖乖吃东西。宴会快要结束的时候，江妈妈就专门过来告诉林霁和江旋可以去休息了，接下来都是一些生意上的应酬，他们两个并没有参与江家的家族生意，再加上林霁才来没多久，时差也应该还没能完全倒过来，所以没有必要跟大家一起待到宴会结束。听了江妈妈的话，江旋点点头说：“嗯，那好，我们先上楼去了，但是妈你和爸还有大伯他们也要早点儿休息啊，就算是应酬也不用搞得特别晚。”江妈妈笑着拍了拍江旋的肩说：”行了，行了，妈知道的，你看阿霁的黑眼圈都那么严重了，还不快把他带上去，妈先走了，Marlin还等着我呢。”江旋点点头，然后江妈妈就转身离开了。江旋说：“那我们先上去吧？”林霁本来想说他没有关系的，但是又觉得没必要让江旋熬夜，再说师母已经说了接下来的应酬也没他们什么事儿，留在这里也是多余，而且挣表现也不急于这一时，更何况小旋的休息更重要，所以就只是道：“嗯，好的。”小旋带着林霁来到二楼，穿过长长的走廊，来到位于走廊尽头右侧的一间房间，打开门，引着林霁进了房间。之后，江旋踏着软软的天鹅绒地毯来到窗边，拉上窗帘，接着转过身来，对林霁道：“这是我随着父母去Z国念小学第一次与你见面之前生活的房间，我的整个幼年几乎都是在这里度过的，有些东西年代有一点儿久了，但都是我小时候爷爷跟我买的珍贵的东西，所以我也没有扔掉，不过我们就只住一夜而已，希望你别介意。”林霁也来到窗边，拉住江旋的手说：“怎么会介意，我看桌上那些小人儿都挺可爱的，而且没有什么陈旧的感觉。”感觉到林霁手上的温度，江旋下意识的缩了一下手，但最终还是因为担心惹林霁不开心，也不想在分离之前让林霁生气，所以还是任由他握住了。心里酸酸苦苦还有一丝丝甜的感觉让江旋不得不转开视线，眼神游移不停，想要赶紧换个话题，隔了好一会儿才道：“对了，那个……因为我的房间只有一张床，我们的事儿又没有对爸妈解释清楚，所以我们也不好分房睡，所以今天就你睡床吧，幸好因为我平常喜欢躺在窗户边儿看书，所以这里摆了一张矮榻，我就睡这一张矮榻就好了。”说完，江旋看林霁的脸色好像不太好，立马又补了一句：“那个……你看怎么样？”林霁握紧了江旋的手，疑惑的看了他一眼，心想：我们不是已经和好了吗？？难道小旋其实还没有完全原谅我，还处于看我的表现来决定是否原谅我的阶段？？想到这里，林霁的心里咯噔一下，皱着眉道：“这样不好吧？？这张床明明是KINGSIZE,我们俩个一起睡绰绰有余，而且那张矮榻那么小，睡起来也不舒服。”江旋摆摆手说：“没关系，没关系，我……我个子反正也比较小，而且我也不想打扰到你，影响你的睡眠质量，所以……。”谁知道江旋的话都没说完，就被林霁打断了：“小旋，我们在一张床上睡了那么多年，难道你以为我不知道你睡觉向来很安静吗？？为什么你现在都不愿意听我的话了？？难道你已经讨厌我到这个地步了吗？”听到林霁这么说，江旋吓了一跳，急忙解释：”当然不是，我……我……是因为……那个……因为你时差还没有完全倒过来，所以我担心你会休息不好，所以觉得你一个人睡或许会更舒适一些，并不是向你想的那样，你应该知道，无论如何我都不会讨厌你的……。”说完，江旋有些沮丧的垂下眸子，不知道是因为对两人的未来越来越感到迷茫，还是因为觉得林霁不理解自己。林霁吻了吻江旋颤动的眼睫，温柔的轻声道：“小旋，我也是，大概无论如何也不会再停止对你的喜欢了。”或许是因为林霁声音太小的缘故，此时过度紧张的江旋没能完全听明白他在说什么，只听到小旋……喜欢，心里不由得打着鼓：阿霁这是什么意思？？他这次来Z国为什么表现的如此反常？？是想要另结新欢但仍同我保持着某种不正当的关系？？还是愿意维持着我们摇摇欲坠的婚姻，但仍然和季瑶保持着不正当的关系？？季瑶……对了季瑶还有一个儿子，算算那孩子的年纪，大概是她和阿霁交往的那个时候怀上的吧？？所以……以阿霁的性格，就算是为了责任，也觉不可能放任季瑶母子不管的吧？？这样的话，我就必须面对和别人分享阿霁或者彻底失去他的两难决定了……其实这个决定一点儿都不难，如果是从前的话……我一定会选择前者吧，因为失去阿霁是那么的痛苦，但是，现在……为了孩子，也不可以同别人分享丈夫，我不能让自己的宝宝出生在这样一个畸形的家庭里，这个代价太大，是我承受不起的……所以……我还是……。”此时江旋心里有做了一个艰难决定，但又为此十分的难过。林霁看他要哭不哭的样子，问：“小旋，你怎么了？？哪里不舒服吗？”江旋这才从胡思乱想中回过神来，忙扯出一抹苦涩的笑容，说：“没……没什么，我好像有点累了，很晚了，我们赶紧休息吧。”因为知道累到极限是一种什么样的状态，所以林霁猜想江旋可能真的是因为参加宴会太累了，所以才不舒服，于是点点头，道：“好。”

The next day, Jiang Xuan woke up very early because of morning sickness. In order not to wake up Lin Ji, he tiptoed into the bathroom on the blanket, closed the door gently, and then threw up against the sink.Because he was worried about disturbing Lin Ji, Jiang Xuan tried to lower his voice. In addition, he had long-term chronic gastritis, so doing this made his stomach feel like a sea of ​​​​tumbling.After finally finding a gap, Jiang Xuan quickly took out a lemon candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Although it was still uncomfortable, he didn't want to vomit so much.After a while, Jiang Xuan took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, and when he was about to open the door to go out, he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.Jiang Xuan hurriedly returned to the bedroom, opened the door, and made a gesture of silence to the visitor, indicating that he had something to say.The visitor nodded, took a step back, Jiang Xuan also turned his back to the room and closed the door, and then asked: "Jason, why did you come to see me so early, what's the matter?" Jason couldn't hide his anxiety and asked: "Xiao Xuan, I wonder if William came to see you after yesterday's dinner?" Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "We chatted for a while at the banquet, but I went back to my room to rest before the dinner was over, so I haven't seen him since. What's wrong??" Jason stroked his forehead helplessly and said, "I had a fight with him at the end of the banquet yesterday, and he left angrily. I thought he was just upset, so I went back to the room first. Yes. Originally, I wanted to apologize to him this morning, but I found out that he never came back last night. Because the two of you have had a very good relationship since childhood, so I thought he came to you. In the end, he I didn't come to your place either, I really can't think of where he can go at such a late hour, I'm worried... worried..." Jiang Xuan saw Jason walking up and down the corridor impatiently, and stepped forward to pat him. Arm said: "Don't worry too much, he is such a big man after all, and he is not a child, so there should be no accidents, besides, L City is where he grew up, and he has spent more time here than me Long, how could it be impossible to find a place to go, by the way...have you called him??" Jason said helplessly, "I want to call too, but since...the last time he got angry with me and called S I haven’t used the original number since then.” Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said, “Then I’ll make a phone call with him and see if we can’t get through, let’s talk about what to do next, do you think it’s okay?” Jason nodded Jiang Xuan went to the balcony at the end of the corridor to call William. After a while, he walked back with a smile and said to Jason, who was waiting anxiously by the window: "Jason, don't worry, William He left the old house early at night, and went to drink at a bar opened by one of his college classmates, because it was too late, so he slept there all night, and only returned home this morning."

Hearing this, Jason's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, but he still couldn't help complaining: "You said he is such a big man, why is he still so unprofessional in doing things? He always likes to keep silent without explaining." He walked away loudly, making people worry." Hearing Jason's complaints, Jiang Xuan was a little unhappy, but since he and Jason were also friends who played together since childhood, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, bowed his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Well... If there is nothing else, I'll go back first. Now that the person has been found, stop thinking about it, go back quickly, and don't make your fiancée anxious." Jason said: "That... ...Xiao Xuan, can you...can you give me William's phone number, I have something to clarify with him." Jiang Xuan glanced at Jason dissatisfied, and said: "I can give him his phone number. You, but can you please keep a proper distance from William in the future? After all, you already have a fiancée, and entanglement with him will only make him feel painful, and of course it will make that lady painful. I believe you will not be better Go there. So please don't force yourself, three people... three people will not be happy. After finishing speaking, Jiang Xuan pressed his lips tightly, lowered his head slightly in sadness, and his shoulders trembled slightly. Because he not only wanted to say these words to Jason, to persuade him not to entangle William anymore, but also to persuade himself not to entangle with Lin Ji anymore, even if he would never have the happiness when he was with Lin Ji again. , can’t make the three of them unhappy.” Jason hurriedly said: “You misunderstood, Janet and I saw nothing, in fact... how can this matter be explained clearly in a few words, I will definitely give it to you when I find a chance in the future You are the one who confessed, and in short, there is no one else in my heart except William." Jiang Xuan said: "Okay, if you want to explain, you should not explain to us, and if you want to explain, you should explain to the person who needs your explanation the most. , I will send you William’s phone number later, I’m going back to the room first.” When passing by Jason, Jiang Xuan stopped suddenly and said softly: “Also, if what you said is true If so, I hope you can treat him well from now on... In this case, between the two of us... at least one person can be happy... that's fine." After finishing speaking, he left. Jason looked at Jiang Xuan's back suspiciously, thinking: Could it be that Xiao Xuan's lover who didn't care much about him did something to hurt him? ?Thinking of this, Jason shook his head, his own affairs have not been settled yet, no matter what others do, the most important thing is to settle William's affairs first.So, with only a slight sigh, he left.When Jiang Xuan returned to the room, Lin Ji was just about to wake up. He was in a state of half-waking up, so he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xuan blankly.Jiang Xuan said apologetically, "Did you wake me up?? Sorry, it's still early, can you go to bed again?" After a while, Lin Ji finally woke up, and said, "Why are you up, are you still sleeping? ??" Jiang Xuan said: "Don't sleep anymore, I'll go out after I get dressed, I won't disturb you anymore, you can continue to sleep." Lin Ji lifted the quilt to reveal his naked upper body, although the doctor's job is not idle, but Lin Ji has always insisted on exercising, so there is no problem of gaining weight or being too thin.Two red clouds floated on Jiang Xuan's face, and he quickly looked away.Lin Ji thought that Jiang Xuan's small appearance was really cute, so he smiled softly, then got off the bed, walked to Jiang Xuan's side, pinched his round and pink face, and jokingly said: You're an old couple, why are you still so shy." Jiang Xuan thought to himself: It won't be long.So he pouted unhappily, and said, "Well... I... I'm going to the bathroom to get dressed." After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look at Lin Ji again, grabbed the clothes hanging on the shelf, and rushed to the bathroom in a panic. into the toilet.Seeing Jiang Xuan like this, Lin Ji couldn't help laughing.Hearing Lin Ji's laughter in the bathroom, Jiang Xuan was ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't know what to do with him. Then he thought of Ji Yao and that child, who were between Lin Ji and himself. The abyss can't be crossed no matter what. Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan lowered his head sadly, looked at the clothes in his hand, and felt the slight temperature on the lower abdomen that had already had a slight curvature in his hand holding the clothes. Feeling very aggrieved, tears fell like beads with a broken thread, and Lin Ji outside the door was still immersed in the joy of teasing Jiang Xuan just now, completely unaware of Jiang Xuan's pain and entanglement.

After breakfast and saying goodbye to Jiang Xuan's uncle's family, Lin Ji and Jiang Xuan drove back to City S with Jiang's father and Jiang's mother. Because Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had to go to work the next day, so after lunch in the city, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also had to go home. Before leaving, Jiang's father deliberately pulled Lin Ji aside. He wanted him to bring Jiang Xuan back to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's house, but he felt that Lin Ji had been away from country Z for so long. , worried that staying here for too long would affect his work, so he told Lin Ji to bring Jiang Xuan back to country Z quickly, and not let Jiang Xuan live in that small apartment for too long, that place is too close to the sea, and the apartment he rented One room was backlit, and the floor height was too low. The room that was originally a 2-story building was divided into 3 floors by the head of the household. Jiang Xuan's health was not very good, and the house was not suitable for him to maintain his body.What Father Jiang said was the truth, and Lin Ji also knew that although the house was well-equipped, it was really very low, to the extent that Lin Ji could easily touch the ceiling with a raised hand, and it was indeed not suitable for long-term living.He thought that he had made up with Jiang Xuan anyway, and even if Jiang Xuan hadn't completely forgiven him, it would be a matter of time, so he repeatedly said yes and promised Father Jiang that he would take Jiang Xuan away as soon as possible, so Father Jiang was satisfied Leave with Jiang Mu.On the way back, Jiang Xuan asked Lin Ji, "What did Dad tell you just now?" Lin Ji glanced at Jiang Xuan with a smile, and said, "It's a secret, you'll know it later." Jiang Xuan was dissatisfied Pouting his lips, he said, "Why do you have so many secrets?" Lin Ji was mysterious but smiled silently. Jiang Xuan glanced at Lin Ji, knowing that if he asked again, he would not be able to find out why, so he just kept silent. In the quiet atmosphere, Jiang Xuan quickly fell asleep leaning against the car window.Arriving at the door of Jiang Xuan's small apartment, when Lin Ji parked the car, he turned his head and saw Jiang Xuan's peaceful and well-behaved sleeping appearance, so he couldn't help leaning over and kissing the corner of Jiang Xuan's lips lightly.Jiang Xuan moved his mouth unconsciously, and muttered: "Ah Ji." Lin Ji thought he had awakened Jiang Xuan, so he quickly retracted in fright, but Jiang Xuan hadn't moved for a long time, and Lin Ji realized that Jiang Xuan seemed to be dreaming. Xiao Xuan could not help but smile slightly, Xiao Xuan even thought of him when he was dreaming, thinking of this, Lin Ji couldn't help but secretly happy, but he was afraid that the noise would wake Jiang Xuan up, so he just turned sideways and observed quietly They watched him until Jiang Xuan woke up, and then they got out of the car and went home.
