Fall in a second

Today is 10.3, the third day that You Qing and Lu Ming went to Thailand. Ji Jingning's custom-made wigs finally arrived. Due to chemotherapy and medication, she has suffered from serious hair loss recently. In order not to be discovered, she specially ordered some wigs. The frequency of the company is not so high. Most of the time, Ji Jingning works at home and holds online meetings. Some of the company's affairs are handed over to Xia Yi, and Xie Xuan and the others are handling them.

The box used to hold the wig is very delicate. Those who don’t know it thought it contained a famous brand bag. Ji Jingning opened it, and there was a wig that was the same color as her own hair lying in the box. She picked it up with two hands. There was still a faint fragrance, Ji Jingning took it to the mirror, fixed her hair according to the instructions, put the wig on her head, adjusted it several times before it fit the scalp completely, looked at herself in the mirror, Ji Jingning felt a little strange at first, but since she turned [-], her hair volume has gradually decreased. The last time she had such ample hair volume was probably when she was studying.

Standing in front of the mirror for a while, Ji Jingning slowly let herself accept and adapt to her current appearance, and then put on her makeup again. She looked at the time and it was almost time to go out. Today she has a very important meeting in the company, and she must Just be present.

Since she found out that she was ill, Ji Jingning's actions have not been as good as before. Sometimes she feels that her current physical condition is not as good as her sister, which is actually funny. She used to be such a big sister who was the umbrella of her sister in the shopping mall, but now she has become like this. Gui Dexing, herself without makeup, sometimes Ji Jingning doesn't want to face it, her cheeks are thin, her eye sockets are sunken, and her complexion is dull, as if she has aged ten years.

Bring the bag and keys, spray expensive perfume before going out, and restore the previous Ji Jingning.

I drove to the company by car, just in time for a meeting. Most of the people in the company hadn’t seen Ji Jingning for a while. This time, they were all curious about her new hairstyle, but as employees, no one dared to discuss too much, even though This black and thick hair is somewhat inconsistent with Ji Jingning's current age.

Today's meeting took a little longer, which was difficult for Ji Jingning who pretended to be fine, but nothing went wrong. After the meeting, she called Xia Yi to come to her office to explain the work. After everything was explained, Ji Jingning raised her eyes and found that Xia Yi had no intention of leaving.

"What's the matter, is there anything else?"

Holding the document, Xia Yi finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Boss, your hairstyle is quite Q."

"Q?" Ji Jingning was puzzled.

"It's just very cute." Xia Yi said.

Ji Jingning grinned in embarrassment, thinking she had been discovered, but Xia Yi said in the next second: "Sister, why did you suddenly think of bringing a wig to the company today?"

Ji Jingning paused, feeling a sense of being exposed, and subconsciously retorted and refused to admit it: "No, no."

"Oh, sister, you still don't admit it, it's super obvious." Xia Yi covered her mouth and snickered.

"Is it really obvious?" Ji Jingning raised her hand to touch the hair on the top of her head.

Xia Yi nodded repeatedly.

"I thought the more expensive ones would not be easily recognized." Ji Jingning murmured to herself.

"Actually, as long as you are familiar with people, wearing a wig is easy to recognize." After Xia Yi finished speaking, she was a little puzzled, "Sister, why do you wear a wig?"

Ji Jingning faltered and said with a guilty conscience: "It's just a whim, I also want to experience the feeling of you young people."

"Pfft, sister, we young people don't wear wigs." Xia Yi put it away and stood straight and said, "Okay, I'll go out to work first, sister, call me if you have something to do."

"Well, let's go."

After Xia Yi went out, Ji Jingning thought to herself, it was really obvious, so she took off the wig and put down her real hair. At this moment, Xia Yi, who had not been away for a long time, came back again, looking very She acted in a hurry without even knocking on the door, so she opened the door and barged in. Of course, this was also the privilege Ji Jingning gave her, she didn't have to knock on the door in case of an emergency, and it was because of this that she broke through everything.

Xia Yi, who was just about to talk about something, was stunned when she saw Ji Jingning's real scene, and raised her hand to close the door so as not to be seen by others.

"Sister, you..."

Ji Jingning smiled helplessly, and stopped the action of putting on the wig, "You have seen it all."

Xia Yi stepped forward, looked at the top of her head in surprise and asked, "Sister, your hair..."

"It's dropped a lot, right?" Ji Jingning smiled slightly.

But Xia Yi couldn't laugh at all, she frowned and couldn't help asking: "Sister, do you have something to hide from us all, are you sick?"

Ji Jingning pursed her lips and smiled, followed by a helpless face. She gradually lowered her eyes, pretending to be flipping through the documents, and said calmly, "Don't let Yuqing know."

Xia Yi covered her mouth, she didn't expect that she had just been suspicious for a while, and she actually hit the mark.

"Sister, what disease do you have? Could it be cancer or something?"

Ji Jingning looked up at her: "Cervical cancer, terminal."

Ji Jingning felt that it had already been seen anyway, and there was no need to hide it. She understood Xia Yi's character, and she would never say anything that she was not allowed to say.

Xia Yi obviously couldn't accept this fact in a short time, "How long?"

"I still remember the gathering of all of us in early September. I thought I got a good result, but I was told later at night that the result was wrong." Ji Jingning smiled wryly.

"If Sister You Qing knew, she would definitely feel uncomfortable and couldn't accept it." Xia Yi murmured, she knew that Sister Jing Ning was her only support in this world, and she was already in poor health, if there was anything wrong with Sister Jing Ning If not, Xia Yi was worried...worrying that she would not be able to hold on.

"So, please help me keep this secret, don't let her know." Ji Jing said calmly.

"I can't do it, sister, I..." Xia Yi hesitated, she felt that it was too difficult for her not to tell anyone about such a big matter, especially if she had to pretend in front of Sister Yuqing It's too hard to be ignorant.

"No, you can do it, I believe in you. You don't want Yuqing to collapse because of this, do you?"

"But she will know one day!" Xia Yi didn't even dare to imagine.

"It's okay, I will take care of everything before I leave. After I'm gone, you and Xie Xuan need to help Youqing a lot with matters in the company. She shouldn't be overworked."

Xia Yi would rather not know about this matter from the beginning to the end, and now it feels like an extra burden has been added to her heart, can she really keep her mouth shut and keep a good secret?

At noon that day, Lu Ming, Aunt Ji, and senior sister had lunch in a restaurant in the ancient city. Lu Ming naturally chose to sit in a row with Aunt Ji, while Qi Nansheng sat alone on the opposite seat. She glanced at the menu and said, "Look at what you want to eat, I'll treat you."

But Ji Youqing said: "Let me treat you, there is no reason for your children to pay the bill."

After hearing this, Qi Nansheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "My sister is too polite, how can this be good."

Then Ji Youqing told the waiter in English that he wanted this restaurant's special dishes, and he ordered a dish with light seasoning.

Qi Nansheng asked curiously: "Sister, do you usually have a lighter taste?"

Lu Ming wanted to help explain, but was preempted by Ji Youqing. She replied with a faint smile, "I'm more used to light food."

Qi Nansheng nodded to express her understanding. She runs a restaurant and has met many people. Some people don’t like spicy food, some people don’t like chili, some people like sour, and some people don’t like green onion, ginger, garlic and parsley. In short, all kinds of strange things.

When the food came, Qi Nansheng looked down at his phone while eating, planning the attractions he was going to visit in the afternoon, and praised repeatedly: "Well, this restaurant tastes really good, um...it deserves a five-star praise."

After speaking, Qi Nansheng glanced at Ji Youqing and asked kindly: "It's really delicious, sister, are you sure you don't want to try some, it's a pity."

Lu Ming thought that Aunt Ji would refuse, but she actually picked up the chopsticks and tasted those dishes. She was very surprised, and at the same time, she was a little worried. For more than a month, except for the fact that she was ignorant at the beginning I gave Aunt Ji a bowl of noodles. This was the first time I saw Aunt Ji eating food that was normally seasoned outside.

"Aunt Ji, are you okay?" Lu Ming asked tentatively.

Ji Youqing smiled slightly, and replied: "It's quite delicious." After finishing speaking, he silently put down his chopsticks, but in the second half, he frequently drank a lot of water by himself.

During this period, Lu Ming has been secretly observing Aunt Ji. On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong, but Aunt Ji seems to be sweating, starting from her forehead, and the sweat is very fine. Is she really okay?

When he came out after eating, who was Qi Nansheng on the phone with? Lu Ming stood quietly outside waiting for Aunt Ji to pay the bill.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Nansheng said excitedly, "My friend from Thailand will come over from Bangkok later. Let's have fun together in the afternoon. There are so many people."

Lu Ming smiled and didn't say anything, everything depends on Aunt Ji's intentions, that's what she thinks.

After a while, Ji Youqing pushed open the door and came out, looking bad, pale, sweaty and weak.

"Go play in the afternoon, I want to find a place to rest."

Qi Nansheng was obviously a little surprised, why did it happen suddenly, she looked at Lu Ming, wondering what she thought, but Lu Ming said without thinking, "I'm not going either, Aunt Ji, I'll stay Come with you."

Qi Nansheng: ...

Her situation suddenly became a little awkward and embarrassing.

"I'm fine, you go and play, have fun." Ji Youqing said softly to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming still shook her head stubbornly. She felt that Aunt Ji seemed to have something to do, but she just endured it. It was impossible for her to just leave her alone. Besides, it was nothing to play with other girls if she wasn't with Aunt Ji. Here Lu Ming still knows some basic principles.

Qi Nansheng saw something, but he didn't seem to see anything.

In short, she just wanted to get out of this embarrassing situation quickly, so she smiled and waved her hands indifferently and said, "Okay, it's okay, if you don't go, I can go by myself. I have an appointment with a friend and I have to leave quickly."

After speaking, Qi Nansheng glanced at his watch and said to Lu Ming with a smile, "Lu Ming, let's get in touch later."

Lu Ming nodded.

Then, she and Aunt Ji stood on the side of the road, watching Qi Nansheng stop a car and drive away.

"Silly girl, why don't you go play with her." Ji Youqing then asked, it was boring to be with me, but she didn't say the last sentence.

Lu Ming just shook her head, did not respond to her, and asked again: "Aunt Ji, how are you? You ate those dishes for lunch."

"I'm fine." Ji Youqing smiled.

After getting the suitcase, the two set off for the next destination, Pattaya. During the journey, Ji Youqing squinted her eyes and slept, and Lu Ming didn't dare to disturb her by making any big noises.

Similarly, today is also Yan Chu's third day working as a nanny at Meng Xiaofei's house.

She has gradually gotten used to and adapted to the job in front of her, and got along well with Xiao Hei. Mrs. Zeng usually treats her well, and even invites her to eat fruit. Yan Chu is very grateful and cherishes this hard-won job.

This afternoon, due to the visit of the neighborhood committee, they gave away some rose seedlings from door to door, so under Meng Xiaofei's advice, the two began to dig a flower field in the yard, because the mistress was pregnant, Yan Chu basically didn't let her do it. For heavy work, you only need to stand aside and direct, and let her do all the dirty work.

In autumn, Yan Chu was sweating from the heat, but she felt okay, it was easier than farming and digging potatoes in the mountains, and she was looking forward to what the rose seedlings would look like when they grew up and bloomed.

"Look at you, it looks like a little cat."

Mrs. Zeng's voice came from behind, Yan Chu turned his head and smiled and said, "Madam, I'm fine."

"Come and wipe it off." Meng Xiaofei held a wet towel in his hand, and Yan Chu's first reaction was to reach out to catch it, but Meng Xiaofei refused: "Let me do it, you see your hands are covered with mud."

After finishing speaking, Yan Chu was dazed and didn't dare to move, Meng Xiaofei reached out to help her wipe off the mud on her face, the cool wet towel dispelled the heat from her body.

"Okay, would you like a glass of water?"

Yan Chu shook his head: "Go and rest, I'll fix it soon."

"Okay." Meng Xiaofei smiled and turned back to the house. Yan Chu was even more motivated. After finishing the flower beds, he brought a pot of water to water them one by one.

She seems to have never been so serious about working in the fields at home.

Finally finished, Yan Chu looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction while holding the kettle, and hurriedly shouted excitedly into the room: "Madam, the flower bed has been finished."

When Meng Xiaofei heard the sound, Yan Chu wondered if he would praise himself, and was inexplicably looking forward to it.

But at this moment, an uninvited visitor suddenly came outside the gate. To be precise, it was a very high-end and luxurious car, and it stopped directly at the gate. Yan Chu looked back and heard Mrs. Zeng shouting excitedly: " Husband." Immediately afterwards, the whole person couldn't wait to run over in small steps.

Yan Chu stood at the edge of the flower bed in a daze, a little at a loss.

Seeing Mrs. Zeng running to the car outside, followed by the door opening, a man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car, and the two hugged each other, Yan Chu subconsciously avoided this scene, presumably this should be the man of the house Well, seeing Yan Chu for the first time in three days here, I feel a little nervous.

Zeng Yuming didn't hug Meng Xiaofei for too long, he took the initiative to let go of her, and pretended to be natural and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

Meng Xiaofei burst out laughing: "It's still early, come in quickly."

Zeng Yuming did not forget to take out a bag of small gifts from the car to her. After Meng Xiaofei took it, he opened it and looked at it, unable to hide his joy: "Thank you husband."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back today." Meng Xiaofei walked in with the man on his arm and asked.

"I don't want to surprise you." Zeng Yuming walked into the gate and looked up to see Yan Chu standing at a loss beside the flower bed.

Meng Xiaofei hurriedly made an introduction, beckoned and said: "Yan Chu, come here quickly." Then he said to Zeng Yuming: "This is the babysitter my mother found for me."

Zeng Yuming nodded and smiled cooperatively: "You look quite young."

"Of course, I'm the only one, but you can taste good dishes tonight."

"Really." Zeng Yuming glanced at Yan Chu curiously again, and Yan Chu quickly lowered his eyes so as not to meet the other person's eyes.

"Let's go, let's go in quickly." Meng Xiaofei walked forward with the man on his arm.

Yan Chu was still holding a kettle in his hand, looking at the couple in front who looked very loving.

At this time, Meng Xiaofei's voice came again: "Yan Chu, go and prepare dinner."

"...Okay!" Yan Chu's reaction was delayed by half a beat.

"Cook your specialty!" Meng Xiaofei added.

Yan Chu nodded, and after packing up the kettle, she went to the kitchen alone. She knew her job and her identity. Seeing Meng Xiaofei talking close to the man, she turned her face away and quickly flashed the whole time.

Yan Chu, who came to the kitchen, started to work after thinking about what to cook for the evening. At this time, there was a moderate voice in the living room, which happened to be heard clearly by her.

"Husband, I had a dream recently. I dreamed that the baby in my stomach was a very cute girl." Meng Xiaofei deliberately said this to test the other party's reaction.

Zeng Yuming smiled slightly, and responded a little lukewarmly, "Really?"

Meng Xiaofei stared at the man's face, and asked after a few seconds: "Are you unhappy?"

"No, how come, don't think about it."

"But our mother really wants a grandson, what if the girl in my stomach is really a girl?" Meng Xiaofei asked with his hands on his stomach.

"It's okay, the big deal is we have a second one, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself." Zeng Yuming said.

"Husband, will you go home often in the future? Since I was pregnant, I always have nightmares when I sleep alone at night."

Yan Chu, who heard all this in the kitchen, did not expect Mrs. Zeng to be such a little girl in her heart. Does it mean that people tend to lose themselves in the face of love? In fact, she really didn’t want to hear this on purpose, it was really a last resort .

"Try your best, try your best." Zeng Yuming's reaction was still as flat as before.

"Husband..."

Yan Chu found that he couldn't concentrate when cooking, and was always easily disturbed by the outside world. Mrs. Zeng probably loved his husband quite a bit, but judging from this short time with him, Yan Chu felt that Mr. Zeng was a little indifferent, not I wonder if she is thinking too much, or is this man's personality like this, or is it true for rich men?

She doesn't understand, forget it, let's do the job at hand with peace of mind, those are not things she should worry about.

After an hour, dinner was ready.

Yan Chu brought out all the dishes, but Mrs. Zeng arranged candles and flowers carefully. It can be seen that she was really happy tonight.

Standing there to set the tableware, Meng Xiaofei said to Yan Chu, "Go and call my husband in for dinner."

"Okay." Yan Chu stopped what he was doing, and obediently went outside.

Zeng Yuming was standing in the garden talking on the phone, with a smile on his face and an unbearable tenderness.

"I know, I know, just for one night, be good, be obedient, wait for me at home, I'll go back tomorrow morning."

Yan Chu didn't dare to go forward, so he stood there and waited quietly. When Zeng Yuming hung up the phone and turned around, he happened to see Yan Chu in front of him. He was a little startled, but he remained calm on the surface.

Yan Chu quickly explained the reason for his visit: "Sir, Madam called you in for dinner."

"I see." After Zeng Yuming finished speaking, he walked around her and gave her an extra look.

Yan Chu felt a little guilty, and lowered her head. In fact, she didn't mean to hear it, she just...accidentally heard something.

Zeng Yuming suddenly stopped before taking two steps, and turned around to ask Yan Chu: "What did you hear just now?"

Yan Chu waved his hand quickly: "I didn't hear anything."

"Remember what you said." After Zeng Yuming finished speaking, he strode into the room.

Yan Chu's heart was pounding violently, and he raised his hand helplessly to scratch his head, this time he was in serious trouble.

Seeing the man coming in, Meng Xiaofei quickly smiled and waved: "Husband, come quickly, it's time to eat."

Zeng Yuming restored the smile on his face, made an amiable look, stepped forward to pull out the chair and sat down.

Yan Chu took the initiative to serve them a meal and stood aside respectfully. Seeing that she hadn't sat down, Meng Xiaofei was puzzled: "Sit down and eat too."

Yan Chu quickly waved his hands: "I'll wait for you to finish eating, and you can call me anytime if you need anything." After speaking, Yan Chu turned and ran away.

Meng Xiaofei looked at her back, wondering what happened to this child tonight.

At this time, Zeng Yuming interrupted her train of thought: "You usually let her eat with you?"

"Well, yes, I'm at home alone every day, and now I've finally had someone to accompany me, and eating alone doesn't taste good, so let her sit with me and eat." Meng Xiaofei explained.

"It's better not to have it in the future. The relationship between master and servant must be clear. She's just a nanny. If you treat her too well, people will make progress. I don't want you to be deceived." Zeng Yuming said.

"No, no, this girl is quite simple, how could she lie to me, you are too sensitive." Meng Xiaofei spoke for Yan Chu.

"Anyway, you listened to me right." Zeng Yuming picked up the bowl, sternly speaking, with a bit of machismo.

Meng Xiaofei didn't want to just compromise like this, so she coquettishly said to the man: "Then you don't want me to eat with the nanny, so you can come back to eat with me more often, huh?"

"I'm busy with work, I hope you can understand, once I have time, I will come back." Zeng Yuming said lightly.

Yan Chu returned to her own small room, sitting on the chair, she was a little idling, and she closed the door here so she couldn't hear the sound from outside.

She didn't know what to do, she couldn't help thinking that when she was outside just now, she accidentally heard the voice of the man talking on the phone with others and what she said, but she overheard it, her mood was very complicated, Can't help but think wildly.
