Pampering Husband And Sweet Wife
Chapter 29's

The Unspoken Secret

Ai and Lu didn't come back for dinner. Du drank a lot but was not as drunk as last time. He refuses to return home with help and stumbles on his way back alone in the moonlight.

Ji looked back. He suddenly felt lonely. Sadness spread in his heart. A thought popped into his mind that he should not help Ai let out her voice.

He forced a bitter smile. It was clear to him why he insisted on doing that because his feelings were never accepted. So he always hated people he wanted to love but did not dare to love.

There are only two types of feelings in the world: like or dislike. If you like someone, you should talk. If not, you should do it too. Those who like someone but do not dare to say it should not be considered shy. That's all fucking bullshit!

Ji looked at the moon. He felt as if he had been drunk too. He missed Bai Jin a lot.

Since there were guests in the house, Lu Zhanke chose to sleep in the guest room, leaving the master bedroom for Ai and Ji.

They haven't slept together in a long time. It was strange that they had to chat all day, but they remained silent because they each had a burden on their minds.

As they were gathering, Ji's phone rang. He doesn't even have to see it. It must be Bai Jin. Because his exclusive ringtone is "My Own Angel".

“No one can take you away from me. You are my only angel. Your man should have been me. No one can replace you in my heart.”.

Hearing the lyrics, Ji could not help but cry.

Ai was very surprised to see Ji crying. He asked hurriedly, "Fan. What the hell happened to you?"

Ji turned to hug Ai, "Saner. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him..."

He keeps saying this.

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Ai's confused.

Ji hides his own secrets that others rarely know all the time. He wants to find someone to confide in. However, he had no choice but to continue his concealment. He's struggling. The pain continued to weigh on his mind. He was afraid that he could not manage it someday.

She loved Bai Jin but she couldn't love him. Because he called him brother. The relationship was enough to eliminate the possibility of being with him.

She hated. But for him, he won't be in pain. He can't be with her. He knew that clearly. Why did he fall in love with her?

He did not even dare to tell Ai such an embarrassing secret. She was afraid that Ai would hate her. So, she just needs time to cry. Just some time.

How could Ai force herself to see him cry so sadly？He was dying to find out, "Fan, what happened to you? Saying now. Come on!"

Ai was very curious. Ji has always been an optimistic and strong person. Now he is at the top of his career. She could not imagine what kind of thing could make her cry so sadly. He did not know, which made him even more worried.

Ji did not say anything but just cried hugging Ai. Ai could do nothing but continue to comfort her and not force her to tell the truth.

After Ji cried enough, he started talking about the reason why he was crying. But the reason was just the reason he made.

"Have you watched the news recently? Ye Chen's fans cursed me to death. I'm stressed out now. I can't watch TV. I can't answer any phone calls. I can't even get into Weibo. This is the first time for me that I feel so stressed after entering the entertainment world." Ji sighed slowly, "It's very stressful. I can't even breathe."

Gossiping is a universal psychology. Not to mention the others, Ai herself also liked gossip. But he only considered it as entertainment. He never takes it too seriously or leaves aggressive comments online. Most of the things in entertainment circles are media hype with a specific purpose. If you are serious, you lose.

Ji has experienced many ups and downs in his life. But this time, he must have been too stressed to bear it. No wonder he would come into this seclusion in search of fresh and free air.

Ai sighed, “If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. You are a popular star and you will definitely lose some of your freedom. But, Fan, be yourself. Don't care too much about what other people think of you. You can think of the people who support you. For example. Anxin.”

Ji wiped his tears, "You're right. I have to consider those who support me. I can't be knocked down. Never is."

The phone rang again when he had just finished speaking. It's the same song and the same person.

Ai asked, "Do you want to take it?"

He felt Zhou Nianxin must have been worried about Ji Xingfan so he would call again and again.

Ji smiled coldly. The call could be from anyone but Zhou Nianxin. There was only Uncle Bai in his eyes. Even Ji, his daughter, had to step aside.

Ji closed his eyes and said coldly, “That's not my mother. Maybe a reporter from Entertainment Weekly called to look for gossip.”

“Ah...” Ai is feeling a bit upset. These people really ... is not enough? They called to ask, how dare? Don't they know that stars are human too? Sometimes they are fragile too. Why do they keep forcing?

“Why don't we close it?” He suggested.

It was time for him to worry, as punishment.

After Ji hung up the phone, he asked Ai, "We can't be found in this place, right?"

Bai Jin was a resourceful person. There was a time when he went to a distant place to film. Unfortunately, his phone is empty. Bai Jin found someone to find where he was, in which hotel, and in which room he was. Now he did not want to let her find him so easily anymore.

“Ah. I guess so.” It could not be called a military territory if it could be easily found.

"GOOD." Ji feels comfortable now.

"Good." Seeing Ji was fine, Ai let her mind wander again.

Ji knew that Ai must be worried about what happened during dinner time. He pondered for a long time and asked, "Who are you thinking, Lu or Du?"

"Aah?" Ai was confused when viewed easily. Then he started thinking back. Who was he just thinking about?

Ji said, "You have to make a decision in the end. Du Yucheng or Lu Zhanke."

There was a glint in Ai's eyes. After a long silence, he chose to escape reality, "I. Everything is unknown, right? Du Yucheng's ... Maybe he's not Qin Zhan."

If he didn't get an answer from Du himself, everything was just their guess.

Ji couldn't stand his coincidental thoughts, "What kind of answer do you want? Don't you know that Du messed himself up after you and Lu left? You didn't see how he looked when he finally left. That's. it's heartbreaking..."

Ji breathed with feeling. If Bai Jin could have a spoonful of Du Yucheng, he would not have been sad, crying alone.

“Really?” Ai bit her lips. Guilt and anxiety surged deep in his heart. When Lu said those words, he was completely shocked. He never thought of going back, "But ..."

Why didn't he say anything in front of her?

“If you don't believe me, you can ask him again tomorrow. But you need to think: what will you do after you ask him."

"I'm .. I still think ..." Their relationship was a tangle of wool balls. She intends to avoid him, but she does not expect Ji will force her to make a choice.

“I should thank God if he is not Qin Zhan. But what if she's."

"Now I will ask him first. Who her? Du Yucheng's. Qin Zhan's. Which is right? Why would he lie to me? Why is he pretending not to recognize me?"

"So, you chose Qin Zhan? You better be firm with your choice. Don't change again, no matter what you say. Don't change."

"I ..." Ai looked at Ji, hesitating about the unspoken words. He would've promised Ai if it was before. Because at that moment, there was only Qin Zhan on his mind. But now, he should feel sorry for Lu and he didn't want to.

Did he betray himself? Or did she become a bad woman, loving two men at the same time?

No. No. He loves Qin Zhan. He had never thought of falling in love with Lu Zhanke. This is his real thought.

"Did you forget why you came here? You're here to negotiate with Lu about divorce. You forgot what you said before. You said you loved Qin Zhan." Ji made up his mind and punched Ai again, "You're hesitating, which will only hurt yourself and others well."

"But you're encouraging me to accept Lu?" Ai recalled when she took a photo of Lu and showed it to Ji, and Ji said how silly he was to reject Lu, such a dashing man.

"I ..." Ji didn't know what to say. He said after a while, "Everything has changed. I'm reminding you. You have to make your own decisions. I'm protecting you from getting hurt."

"I. I know." Ai seems determined.

A complicated expression flashed in Ji's eyes. He gripped Ai's hand, saying in a low voice, "You did the right thing. You know clearly who you love."

Just like her, she knew very well that she hated Bai Jin so much but was willing to die for him.

He doesn't care. He could sacrifice anything for her.
