“Where is your supervisor Xu now?”
Ji Feng asked this question in a tone without much fluctuations, as if just casually asking this question. Asking didn’t mean he really wanted to know the person’s whereabouts, and certainly wouldn’t specially go find her.
“In a banquet hall on the second floor.” Lu Xiao Yan truthfully answered.
“Second floor, banquet hall?” Ji Feng knitted his brows slightly, pondering and asking, “Is there an event there?”
There really wasn’t any event today. The banquet hall was borrowed by Xu Mi Yu from the F&B department. Afraid Ji Feng’s frown meant displeasure, Lu Xiao Yan hurriedly explained: “No, no official events! It’s a small activity sister Mi Yu is self-funding and self-organizing. Sister Mi Yu said after New Year’s when F&B is back at work she’ll go settle the venue fees, counting it as her personally renting the banquet hall. Boss, rest assured, sister Mi Yu — oh no, Supervisor Xu won’t take advantage of your hotel for free!”
She also babbled on saying what kind of people were participating in the small banquet hall activity, and why Xu Mi Yu wanted to hold this event for them, to spend New Year’s together.
Ji Feng looked over the small service girl with slightly drooping eyelids.
In just a few days? Xu Mi Yu had already bought over people’s hearts like this. He just habitually knitted his brows and her subordinate already anxiously stood out to explain it in such detail, as if afraid this petty boss would be unhappy.
Ji Feng snorted, saying: “Empty is empty, my hotel isn’t afraid of losing this bit of advantage.”
After speaking he turned and walked towards the elevators.
Lu Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief behind him.
She felt Ji Feng’s reply just now deliberately emphasized something. He bit out “my hotel” heavily. Contrasting with her earlier “your hotel”, it seemed to be full of mocking meaning. As if mocking her for being meddlesome, overthinking on his behalf…
Lu Xiao Yan patted her chest.
The boss was very handsome but his oppressive aura really was too strong. Luckily he left, she felt if Ji Feng had stayed a minute longer, she was afraid she would have been oppressed into oxygen deprivation and suffocation.
So thinking about it, sister Mi Yu really was an impressive person after all. Looking gentle and soft, easygoing and good tempered, seeming unable to withstand pressure. Yet she was the one who actually had the most backbone and could withstand pressure. She was also the only one who wasn’t timid or obsequious when facing Ji Feng, even more she wouldn’t suffocate from oxygen deprivation.
When Ji Feng stood outside the elevator, he had made up his mind to directly return upstairs.
But when the elevator doors opened and he walked in, turning around to face outwards, the thoughts in his heart also seemed to turn to face the other way.
His fingers directly landed on the number 2.
The elevator immediately started then very quickly stopped. He had arrived on the second floor.
The entire second floor was very quiet. So the banquet hall with people, despite having good sound insulation, still had some faint voices leaking out, standing out clearly.
Ji Feng followed the sounds and walked over.
The further he walked the clearer the leaked sounds became. Arriving at the banquet hall entrance, he halted his footsteps.
Raising a hand to lightly push the door, the large door was as if it could read minds, silently opening a wide gap that could peek into the heavens.
The sounds instantly became much louder than earlier, lively and noisy, blowing against his face through the gap.
Ji Feng stood outside the door peeking through the wide gap into the banquet hall.
Inside was actually filled with women, some women even had children. They were gathered around two round tables in the banquet hall. On the tables were dumplings, also melon seeds, peanuts, fruits, and drinks.
The women ate dumplings, or melon seeds, peanuts and fruits, while watching the Spring Festival Gala playing with a projector at the front of the banquet hall.
Ji Feng thought back to what the small service girl said downstairs earlier. Because of some malicious customs in rural areas, divorced women cannot return home for New Year’s. So many divorced women were staying at the hotel. After Xu Mi Yu learned of this, she felt spending New Year’s like this was too desolate. So she self-funded buying ingredients and dough, and made dumplings with her own hands. Aside from this she also self-funded buying snacks and fruits, then simply decorated a not very big banquet hall, putting up festive red banners and fu characters, changing the tables to big red tablecloths. Then she contacted those female guests staying alone or female guests alone with children, having everyone gather in the banquet hall to noisily and merrily watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat dumplings to spend New Year’s together.
Ji Feng looked inside the banquet hall. The atmosphere in the full room didn’t have a shred of divorced women’s self-pity or self-blame. On the contrary everyone looked very harmonious and happy.
In the banquet hall, some children were chasing and playing between the two round tables. No one knew who was naughty, kicking or bumping into something. The Spring Festival Gala projection in front suddenly blacked out, interrupted.
The women immediately cried out in surprise. It was almost midnight, the hosts in the Spring Festival Gala were just about to do the countdown to ring in the new year with everyone in the country. The real staying up was about to arrive. At this critical juncture the TV program was interrupted instead.
The women immediately started looking for Xu Mi Yu together.
Ji Feng’s gaze followed theirs, looking for that woman.
She was finally found. Turned out she was in a corner comforting a middle aged woman.
They found her and told her to quickly think of a way to see what broke, if they could still watch the countdown before midnight in this place.
Xu Mi Yu promptly lived up to expectations, finding the problem.
Turned out a child had stepped on the wire when playing around. The other end of the wire was connected to the projector hanging in midair.
To reconnect the wire, someone had to stand on a chair.
Xu Mi Yu automatically volunteered herself to do it without a word. She moved over a chair and nimbly stood on it. Raising both hands high, wanting to insert the plug into the socket behind the projector.
But unexpectedly her hands were just that little bit short of the projector. So she exerted herself tiptoeing, also exerting herself stretching her arms.
Her stretching caused her top to ride up at the hem, even exposing a small section of her waistline.
Ji Feng watched that small waist. He narrowed his eyes, as if pierced by strong light.
That slender waist was fair, supple and soft. Not only piercing the watcher’s eyes, but also piercing the watcher’s heart —— it pierced until even the heartbeat seemed to quicken along with it.
The Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbed up and down.
The next second, the woman tiptoeing on the chair finally inserted the plug into the projector.
On the screen in front, the Spring Festival Gala was able to continue without mishap.
The women rang out in delighted cheers.
Xu Mi Yu also smiled along, smiling while lowering her arms.
Perhaps she relaxed her vigilance. Her foot suddenly tilted, her entire body toppling off the chair.
But very quickly, the few women beside her steadily supported her, letting her safely land back on the ground.
Ji Feng silently breathed a sigh of relief. Lowering his eyes, he was surprised to find his hand tightly gripping the banquet hall door handle. His entire body was poised to rush in.
Rush in to do what? Catch her?
Ji Feng chuckled. Not knowing if he was mocking this idea or mocking himself for having this idea.
The child who had kicked the wire just now, causing the plug to disconnect, was being scolded by his mother pulled aside.
The child started crying, crying extremely ugly. Ji Feng was so uglied by the snot and tears covered crying face he almost wanted to turn and return upstairs.
At this time Xu Mi Yu walked over.
She smiled persuading the child’s mother. Frankly saying this was nothing, just a small accident, couldn’t use this to prove the child was naughty and ignorant.
The mother’s anger dissipated, but the child still kept crying nonstop. His snot was nearly about to flow into his mouth.
Ji Feng watched those two trails of snot, disgusted to death, worried to death.
If the snot really flowed into his mouth…that would be terrible, just thinking about it was revolting.
Should he watch until it really flowed in?
He planned to turn and leave.
But before turning, he saw Xu Mi Yu pull out a tissue and squat down, not bothered by dirtiness, helping the child wipe away the tears and snot.
After wiping, she even patted the child’s dirty little face with her hand, smiling so damned kindly and gently, soothing him to stop crying.
But the child still kept crying nonstop. The voice was clamorous like a frog croaking, grating on people’s nerves.
Crying so noisily, should just directly stuff a sock in his mouth. Let the world become peaceful.
Ji Feng couldn’t understand how the child crying so ugly could let Xu Mi Yu be so patient.
He saw Xu Mi Yu’s expression suddenly become mysterious, arousing the child’s curiosity. The child sniffling no longer noisily looked at her.
Then she put both hands into the pockets on each side of her top.
Taking them out, both her hands were clenched in fists. She let the child guess which fist had candy inside.
The child sniffled, raising a hand pointing at Xu Mi Yu’s left hand. Xu Mi Yu opened her left hand, the palm held a chocolate, a gold ingot shaped one.
She praised the child: “So smart, guessed right in one try!” The child forgot to keep crying from the praise.
She handed the chocolate to the child. The child took it, happily laughing. Still with tear streaks covering his face but very happily grinning saying thank you auntie, exposing a full mouth of missing teeth.
Extremely ugly.
Ji Feng frowned in disgust.
But he also vaguely felt that bright smile of the child, although extremely ugly, was actually very innocent and genuine.
He saw Xu Mi Yu open her other hand too, it also held a gold ingot shaped chocolate.
She handed the chocolate to the little boy, then gestured at the mother beside the boy, telling him: “It’s very tough for mom raising you alone, you know. Today’s New Year’s, you should make mom happy too, right?”
The sensible child took the chocolate to give his mother. The mother’s eyes instantly reddened, squatting down tightly hugging her child.
Xu Mi Yu watched them, smiling.
She smiled feeling gratified and gentle, happy and radiant.
Ji Feng stood at the doorway, looking through the wide door gap at Xu Mi Yu’s smile.
For an instant he felt like he was sinking into something.
Luckily the countdown sounds from reality pulled him out of the terrifying surreal feeling.
On the big screen, the hosts in the Spring Festival Gala were counting down in raised voices: ten, nine, eight, seven…
The women in the banquet hall also followed counting down: six, five, four…
The children were infected by the liveliness, also pitching their childish voices happily counting down: three, two, one…
After the final second, everyone —— inside the screen, outside the screen, adults or children —— everyone cheerfully and thoroughly shouted loudly together: Happy new year!
Ji Feng stood at the doorway, smiling.
Happy new year.
He also told the people inside.
This new year, turned out could still have happiness.
In this group of women who should have been pitied for being divorced, he saw the warmth and joy of new year.
Ji Feng didn’t go disturb the women’s new year happiness in the banquet hall.
After lightly closing the banquet hall door, he quietly returned upstairs.
Entering the room, sitting on the sofa.
His entire body was clearly still, yet oddly he kept feeling something in his body was bumping into the blood and bones everywhere, doing something called “excitement”.
He was very confused about why he would feel excited from just watching a group of divorced women being happy for new year.
Irritated, he stood up pacing the suite.
As if something was guiding him, making him walk towards the room used for storage.
He recalled there were many, many gifts from others stored inside.
In the banquet hall, time passed midnight and the gathering still continued.
Other than a few children who couldn’t stay up from sleepiness, mothers carrying their children and leaving, the rest didn’t leave. Still noisily watching the Spring Festival Gala together, planning to keep watching until the song “Unforgettable Tonight” played before ending the gathering.
Xu Mi Yu also kept watching the gala with everyone. After a while there was knocking at the banquet hall entrance. She told everyone to keep watching while she ran to the entrance to check things out.
Stepping out the door, she saw the person standing outside was a young staff member on duty from the hotel’s executive office department. Xu Mi Yu recognized him. They normally called each other sister Xu and little Yu when meeting.
Little Yu held a big gift box in his hands. Looked like one of those New Year’s gift boxes.
Little Yu said to Xu Mi Yu: “Sister Xu, this is for you.”
Xu Mi Yu looked very surprised: “For me? Who is giving me this?”
Little Yu looking at her said: “Chairman Ji.”
Xu Mi Yu was even more surprised: “Chairman Ji?”
Little Yu told her: “Chairman Ji said, he knows you’re in the banquet hall spending New Year’s watching the Spring Festival Gala with many divorced women. He came to add a gift box to liven things up for you all.”
When Xu Mi Yu took the huge gift box, her hand sank while her heart stirred.
She told Little Yu: “Thank you Little Yu, also please help me thank Chairman Ji on behalf of everyone in this room!”
Little Yu smilingly said he would relay this sentence to Chairman Ji, then left.
Xu Mi Yu brought the gift box into the room to open it and share the dazzling variety of high-end gifts with everyone.
Everyone was very happy.
Xu Mi Yu saw everyone happy, she was also happy.
Just when it was her turn, the gifts in the box happened to all be taken by others already. Only an empty box was left.
She didn’t want to dampen everyone’s mood, so she smiled and said she had already gotten a gift.
Just when no one was looking, she still felt a little regretful inside. She almost had a new year’s gift too.
But she thought, it was fine. Spending New Year’s like this without loneliness was already great.
Suddenly she reconsidered that Ji Feng actually knew she was here with people watching the Spring Festival Gala. He even had people deliver a big gift box to liven things up.
That Ji Feng who was usually cold and arrogant, skilled at being mocking and disdainful.
He actually noticed what she was doing…
Xu Mi Yu hurriedly stopped the layers of feelings welling up inside. If feelings were allowed to uninhibitedly spread, who knew what it would develop into.
After watching the gala a while longer, the song “Unforgettable Tonight” sounded.
The playing of this song marked the Spring Festival Gala completely ending. The people in the banquet hall should also disperse.
These people had all thought they would have to spend this new year alone lying in a room, cold and cheerless. They hadn’t expected to ultimately be able to spend it together warmly and merrily like this in the end.
Therefore everyone was very grateful to Xu Mi Yu. After the gathering ended, no one hurried to return to their rooms. Everyone scrambled to help Xu Mi Yu clean up the banquet hall.
Many hands make light work. The banquet hall quickly regained its original tidy state.
The only thing left was a little garbage that needed packing up for disposal. Xu Mi Yu felt she could handle that alone, so she worked hard to “drive” the others back to their rooms to rest.
With great difficulty she finally managed to drive everyone away. The solidarity and goodwill between women was indeed difficult to decline yet also scorching.
The women all returned to their rooms one by one. Only Xu Mi Yu was left alone in the banquet hall.
When there were many people earlier she didn’t feel anything, but now the large empty room amplified the feelings of loss and regret.
Xu Mi Yu felt she really was a little regretful inside. She almost had a new year’s gift too.
She bent down to finish cleaning up the garbage preparing to leave. At this time someone knocked on the banquet hall door again.
Xu Mi Yu went to look, surprisingly it was Little Yu again.
This time he held a small box in his hands. Impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
Little Yu handed the small box to Xu Mi Yu: “Sister Xu, here.”
Xu Mi Yu accepted while asking in puzzlement: “What is this? Who asked you to send this over again?”
Little Yu scratched his head saying: “Still Chairman Ji.”
“Chairman Ji?” Xu Mi Yu felt the box in her arms seemed to be transmitting thump thump heartbeats to her.
“Yes, Chairman Ji. He just called me up again, standing at the door of his suite giving this to me, told me to quickly bring it down to you. Oh right,
he also said this is specifically for you. Afraid you would mix it together with the gifts in the earlier box and give it to others. So he specially had me bring this over separately now.”
“Oh there’s more. Chairman Ji also had me pass on a sentence to you.” Little Yu relayed to Xu Mi Yu: “He said, happy new year!”
Xu Mi Yu hugged the box, smiling very happily, smiling so radiantly Little Yu’s eyes went straight looking at her.
“Happy new year!” She was saying it to Little Yu, and also saying it through Little Yu to Ji Feng.
After Little Yu left, Xu Mi Yu walked back into the banquet hall and swiftly unwrapped the box.
The instant the box opened, she froze.
It was chocolate.
It was actually chocolate! It was the chocolate she loved most.
Xu Mi Yu closed the box back up, hugging it in her arms.
She smiled, even her eyes warmed and moistened from the smile.
She had thought there wouldn’t be a new year’s gift anymore.
She hadn’t expected that at the very end of this new year where she had no home to return to, she could still receive a new year’s gift she liked in the end.
She hugged the box to her chest, bowing her head softly saying “Thank you”.
On the first day of the new year, Xu Mi Yu finished her night shift and returned to rest in the dorms.
Ji Feng also knew Xu Mi Yu was off night shift and needed rest. Rarely showing human kindness, he chose not to make trouble on this first day of the new year. He gnawed away at the hunger and loneliness alone that was hard to swallow.
On the second day of new year, mother Feng Xue Lan called early in the morning. The mother on the phone returned to being a gentle and gracious lady. Mother asked him to return home for a meal.
Ji Feng was somewhat hesitant at first. No matter how angry he was at his mother, after all she was still his mother. But just as he was about to soften and agree, he heard his mother say: “Zhi Chun came. Wait for you to return, also call your father over. It’s a good chance for your father to also meet Zhi Chun.”
In that instant, Ji Feng’s hesitation completely disappeared. His mother was still trying to matchmake him and the woman he had already clearly expressed was unsuitable, just to save her own rotten marriage.
Ji Feng unhesitantly rejected his mother, saying he was busy and could not return home. Also afraid Jiang Zhi Chun would take matters into her own hands and find the hotel, he directly passed on a message through his mother’s mouth —— saying he was out of town currently, and wouldn’t be back in Star City for new year’s these few days.
After hanging up, irritation and hunger stimulated each other in his body, causing him to have a can’t tolerate attitude towards everything.
He wanted to smash everything in the room into pieces. The thought flashed through his mind for an instant. But he quickly calmed down. If he really vented his emotions that way, what difference would there be between him and his mother whom he was so angry with.
He calmed down.
Swallowing his irritation. But the hunger he really couldn’t tolerate anymore. Chef Xu had returned home for new year’s and would only come back to work several days later. He had eaten the wax-chewing meals at the hotel yesterday and had enough already.
Grabbing the phone he had just thrown aside, carrying an absolutely can’t tolerate attitude, he called Xu Mi Yu’s number.
After a few rings, Xu Mi Yu’s voice leisurely sounded.
“Chairman Ji,” she addressed him first, then offered new year’s greetings, “Happy new year!” Then expressed thanks, “Thank you for the new year’s gift.” Finally asking, “You’re calling me, is there something?”
Listening to this string of short sentences, Ji Feng’s mood unexpectedly gradually calmed. With an unperturbed tone he hmm’ed, then asked in return: “Are you busy today?”
Xu Mi Yu answered crisp and decisive: “En, I’m busy.”
Ji Feng was instead startled for a moment. As if subconsciously he felt she should have nothing to do today, unless he looked for her.
“When are you busy then?” He asked another sentence chasing.
“At night.” Xu Mi Yu replied.
“Then come to the hotel during the day.” Ji Feng immediately said.
“Ah?” Xu Mi Yu was startled for a moment. “I’m going to the hotel? To do what?”
“Cook,” Ji Feng blurted in reply, “…help me.” After a slight pause he swiftly added another sentence: “Won’t let you do it for free, paying you ten times the daily wages.”
“…” Xu Mi Yu hesitated a moment, struggling for a compromise: “Can’t I not go? Will I… lose my job because of it?”
Ji Feng’s voice was stiff and hard, yet oddly seemed to carry a trace of pleading and concession: “You won’t lose your job, but I’ll probably starve to death.”
Xu Mi Yu sighed.
After hanging up, thinking of the feelings the chocolate brought her yesterday, thinking of Ji Feng using the most rigid voice yet actually saying the softest words. She still got up and went to the hotel.
On the way she couldn’t help silently beating herself up inside. Everyone said she had changed and matured, so how come even now she still couldn’t stand it when someone compromised. Even if it was such a wooden compromise.
She wasn’t actually lying to Ji Feng. She did have something busy tonight. Today, the second day of the new year, was actually her birthday. When little, no one at home remembered to celebrate her birthday for her. Even though she and Xu Mi Bao were twins with birthdays on the same day. Even though Xu Mi Bao’s birthday was celebrated extravagantly every year, her parents never thought to also tag her along. She really was superfluous like her nickname.
After getting married, Nie Yucheng celebrated her birthday for her several years. But Nie Yucheng became her ex-husband. She had originally thought this year’s birthday would regress to when she was little at home, vanishing inconspicuously among the 365 days of the year, passing fleetingly without a trace.
She hadn’t expected Li Qiao Qi to actually remember her birthday.
The day before New Year’s Eve, Li Qiao Qi called telling her she planned to celebrate her birthday for her on the second day of new year. When she was told this she was shocked stiff.
Someone she was blood related to forgot the time she came into this world. While someone she hadn’t contacted in a long time remembered instead.
She was extremely moved. Li Qiao Qi said: “Don’t be moved okay, it’s not like I specifically remembered. Your birthday is just easy to remember, I randomly recalled it.”
Xu Mi Yu was still very grateful for Li Qiao Qi’s random recall.
Li Qiao Qi also told Xu Mi Yu: “After graduating you immediately got married, and lost contact with us classmates after marrying. You don’t know that actually every year everyone still gathers at my place. This year I contacted everyone, might as well set the gathering time on the night of the second day of new year, counts as everyone celebrating your birthday together!”
Xu Mi Yu felt grateful and happy. She had lived closed off in the small family of two these past six years, burning herself up for this small family, almost willing to give everything. Also losing her entire social circle because of this small family. Now she was really thankful to Li Qiao Qi for pulling her back into social circles.
So no matter what happened during the day, it was unable to stop her from attending the gathering at night. That gathering using her birthday as the name.
Xu Mi Yu arrived on the top floor of the hotel. Not saying another word she headed straight for the kitchen in the suite.
She swiftly stir fried four home-style dishes. After also cooking up a soup, the rice in the cooker also announced it had finished cooking, fragrantly done.
She brought the dishes out placing them in front of Ji Feng.
Ji Feng’s face pulled long from hunger finally shortened some after seeing the four dishes and one soup.
He started eating arrogantly. His manners very elegant, still embodying his good etiquette as always. But the result was very quick, by the time he put down his bowl and chopsticks, the four dishes and one soup, only a little soup was left at the bottom. The rest of the bowls and plates were all completely wiped clean.
Xu Mi Yu looked at the empty bowls and plates. Her mood was oddly very good for some reason.
As the chef, seeing the diner able to eat the rice and dishes she cooked so cleanly and thoroughly gave a kind of pleasant sense of satisfaction.
Lunch was settled for Ji Feng. Next just needed dinner.
Thinking she was busy tonight and couldn’t stay to cook dinner for Ji Feng, Xu Mi Yu simply started preparing dinner early while cleaning up the empty bowls and plates into the kitchen.
She cooked two dishes that would still taste fine reheated. Then washed the rice and put it into the cooker, setting the precook time for dinner.
After getting everything done, she went to the living room telling Ji Feng who was on the sofa leaning back with legs crossed, fiddling with a tablet: “Chairman Ji, I’ve prepared dinner early for you. The rice will automatically cook at the set time. Just ding the two dishes in the microwave before eating.”
Ji Feng was currently head lowered on his tablet, planting and harvesting crops in the game. Xu Mi Yu now knew this thing that couldn’t be called a game, Ji Feng really unceasingly kept at everyday for ten years.
Sometimes she didn’t know whether to admire Ji Feng for his perseverance, or admire him for being able to be so bored.
After planting the final plot of land, Ji Feng only then slowly raised his eyes, looking at Xu Mi Yu.
“Got it.” He replied.
Then the two looked at each other, both seeming to have something to say, yet neither said anything out.
Xu Mi Yu wanted to say since there’s nothing else I’ll take my leave first. But under Ji Feng’s gaze, she temporarily was unable to say it out.
Ji Feng wanted to very casually ask what she was busy with tonight. But didn’t grasp that casual state at the time, so also didn’t speak.
So the two just looked at each other like that. In the looking it actually turned into gazing blankly at each other.
Ji Feng’s cellphone ringtone finally broke through the awkwardness that seemed about to grow spiderwebs.
Ji Feng glanced at the phone by his side. The caller ID showed it was mother Feng Xue Lan calling.
He knitted his brows, not answering.
Xu Mi Yu saw that as the cellphone rang, Ji Feng’s complexion visibly changed. The aura of bad mood was like it could be seen, conforming to his figure, enveloping around him.
The phone rang for a while with no answer, then quieted.
But soon it rang again, ringing stubbornly and unyieldingly.
Xu Mi Yu saw not only did Ji Feng’s complexion worsen, even the furrow between his brows tightened.
After a deep breath, he still picked up the call.
Feng Xue Lan discussed with him over the phone: “Son, mom knows you’re out of town. Mom won’t force you to come back either. Today’s the second day of new year, woman’s day to return to her maternal home. Mom no longer has a maternal home to return to. Now mom only has this one home with you dad and you. Son, can you understand mom’s feelings a little? Call your dad and ask him to come back, accompany your mom a bit?” After a pause, fluctuations arose in her tone. “Can’t let that cheap slut outside take advantage, letting your dad keep her company to her maternal home!”
Ji Feng deeply breathed in, telling Feng Xue Lan: “I won’t make this call.”
After speaking he hung up the phone, throwing the phone far away on the sofa.
When would mother finally become a little sober? When would she understand this rotten marriage wasn’t worth her feeling jealous and making a fuss? When would she finally toughen up, not use her son as a tool just because of her cheating husband?
Ji Feng’s mood was awful, his emotions awful. At this moment he wanted to smash everything he could see into pieces. He wanted to tear his surrounding world to shreds.
On impulse he grabbed the glass of water and smashed it on the ground to vent. After smashing the glass he also wanted to go kick the coffee table.
At his ears was a gasp.
Turning towards the sound to look, Xu Mi Yu who was standing at the side had wide round eyes looking at him. Her eyes again held some fear and cautiousness that hadn’t been seen in a long time. It was the gaze she had when first seeing him.
She seemed frightened by his earlier behavior.
This thought flashing through, Ji Feng suddenly calmed down. He put his foot down, not going to kick the coffee table.
