Article 2

The current Wen Lan only felt a little guilty about Jiang Jingci, and he didn't have any good feelings.

When Jiang Jingci's call rang, she was not ready to answer.

But after the bell sound ended, she wanted to know Jiang Jingci's current attitude.

So I dialed back.

Jiang Jing said "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve" with a smile like a nobody.

"Happy Chinese New Year's Eve." She said perfunctorily.

Since Jiang Jingci will continue to act, she will not expose it now, and she chooses to resign with Jiang Jingci.

"I made a big table of dishes last night, and you left without eating. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, come to Qiushuitai for a reunion dinner at noon?"

Jiang Jingci's mood did not fluctuate, as if the incident of letting the paparazzi besiege the Shuyuan Mansion yesterday had not happened.

"It's okay, there are so many firecrackers outside, did it scare her?" She asks what concerns her most.

"Although the sound insulation of the house is already very good, I was woken up before dawn, and I still cry non-stop." Jiang Jingci's tentative tone on the other end was obvious.

Wen Lan was quite calm, "I won't bother you during the New Year."

"Okay." Jiang Jingci didn't insist anymore, but he didn't rush to end the call, "Aren't you bored to celebrate the festival alone, after lunch, I'm going to drive Jiang Guan and Yang Yang to the neighborhood, how about you take care of Yang Yang for me?"

"Where are you going?" She kept an eye on it.

"It's on the outskirts of the city, you can't go too far. It's too small, and if you sit in the car for too long, you'll have to make a fuss." Jiang Jingci said very seriously.

Wen Lan already had a plan to avoid Jiang Jingci perfectly, "When are you going to go?"

"So you're going with us!" Jiang Jingci smiled and said, "Take your time as the standard, when it is convenient for you, I will drive the two children to the Shuyuan Mansion to pick you up."

"Yang Yang is too young, don't let her toss back and forth in the car, or I'll go to the Shuyuan Mansion to make peace with you." She thought thoughtfully, "I'll arrive at the Shuyuan Mansion on time at two o'clock, you can pack up your things and wait for me."

"That's it." Jiang Jingci didn't expect her to be so refreshing, so she hurriedly responded.

She didn't even say goodbye and hung up.

The time agreed with Xie Yansheng was 1:50, and when she and Xie Yansheng met and left the city, Jiang Jingci should still be waiting for her in Qiushuitai.

In the past, she had never disdained this kind of careful thinking about Jiang Jingci, but now she calculated Jiang Jingci just to be able to leave Jiangcheng City smoothly with Xie Yansheng.

As soon as I put down my phone, the call rang again, this time it was the sound of thanksgiving.

She quickly clicked open, and Xie Yan's deep voice came with a smile: "Are you ready?"

"Alright." She looked at her watch, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and the two of them could meet in just over an hour.

"Waiting?" Xie Yansheng asked again.

"There's no hurry." She pretended to be calm, "I haven't finished my makeup yet, what's the hurry!"

"The old mansion will start cooking immediately, and you can cook something to eat." Xie Yansheng didn't rush to end the call after speaking, "Lan Lan, do you miss me?"

"It's only been a moment apart, what's there to think about!" She stiffened, "Let's stop talking, I'll see you later."

She sat in the living room, quietly looking out the window, but her heart flew to two hours later.

At half past one, she had just walked away from Shuyuan Mansion when Jiang Jingci's call came again and asked her if she had packed up and could go to Shuyuan Mansion to pick her up.

"It's already been packed." She lied casually, "I'm going to give Jiang Guan and Yang Yang New Year's gifts, and I'm already choosing, you just wait for me at Qiushuitai."

Her voice was gentle with pleading, and she used the word "obedient" again, and Jiang Jingci on the other end instantly broke the defense, "You have everything at home, you don't have to break the bank."

"You don't have to worry about that." She said perfunctorily.

Jiang Jingci's tone was quiet, "Then I'll wait for you with the children." Wen Lan, don't let me down again this time."

"What I promised you, how could I let you down

Yet!" She chuckled heartily.

At 1:45, Wen Lan, who was only carrying a big backpack, rode a shared bicycle to the agreed small street.

Then, the shrill sound of car horns came from not far away.

She turned around and met Xie Yansheng's smiling eyes!

The two looked at each other and smiled.

She got into the passenger seat and closed the door before taking off her hat and mask.

"Why are we scared like thieves by Jiang Jingci?" Xie Yansheng started the engine and quipped.

"When you get divorced and you're single again, I'm not afraid of anything—" She said as the call rang.

As expected, it was Jiang Jingci.

Xie Yansheng also saw the flashing name on her mobile phone screen, and immediately sank his face.

She hurriedly made a silent gesture to Xie Yansheng and clicked the answer button.

"Where?" Jiang Jingci's seemingly calm voice was a little anxious, "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"I looked at several stores to choose gifts for Jiang Guan and Yang Yang, and I was already on my way to Qiushuitai." She said slowly, "By the way, I liked your fruit tea very much yesterday, can you make a pot for me so that I can take it to drink on the road."

"No problem. I'm just a little anxious to call and ask, you drive slower." Jiang Jingci didn't hear her lying at all.

Before ending the call, Wen Lan said again, "I'm sorry for you, Lao Jiang", and Jiang Jingci was naturally a decent polite remark.

When she ended the call, Xie Yansheng spoke, "Why did you resign from Jiang Jing again?"

"After you left in the morning, Jiang Jingci asked me and his two children to drive around the neighborhood like a nobody, and I set two o'clock with him and asked him to wait at Qiushuitai." She explained.

"You've got a lot of eyes." Xie Yansheng touched her head, his eyes were full of doting, "Isn't Jiang Jingci just a son, what did you just say about the two children?"

"He adopted a daughter in Shangjing a while ago, and she is only four months old." She said nonchalantly.

"An old widower adopted a girl?" Xie Yansheng sneered noncommittally, "Is he playing some crooked idea again?"

"Honestly, that kid is pretty cute." Wen Lan thought of Langyang, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart.

Xie Yansheng has always been haunted by Wen Lan's life experience of the child who died young, so much so that when he heard the word "child", he was so upset that he changed the topic, "When are you returning to Lincheng?"

"The class starts on the sixth day of junior high school, and I have to go back on the fifth day of junior high school at the latest." She thought for a moment, "An Zhen is waiting in the hospital to give birth, and you can't stay outside for too long."

"Lanlan, we've missed it for two years, and we can't miss it again in the future." Xie Yan's voice was low, and he stretched out his right hand to shake it with her.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang.

She clicked on it and said, "On the way, wait for me for four or five minutes" and hung up.

When Xie Yansheng drove out of the city, Jiang Jingci's phone called again, and she told him directly, "I'm sorry Lao Jiang, I won't go if I'm not feeling well."
