Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.
Chapter 726 Snow Mountain, Where Is It?
Inside the room, Ji Xinhan's blankets had been changed, and all the instruments had been moved away, indicating that the room had been cleaned.
Slowing down to follow his sister, Ji Jiale spoke up, "Do you like the duvet cover? If you don't, I'll get you another one. Your sister-in-law chose the color."
In the afternoon, Ji Jiale and Lu Yiyue changed the color of their sister's bed sheets to light green, which represents vitality.
Lu Yiyue said it represents a new beginning for Hanhan.
Ji Xinhan glanced at the light green four-piece bedding set, bent down and reached out to touch it. It was very comfortable and soft. "It looks great, brother, sister-in-law, thank you."
"I'm glad you like it. These are some new clothes that your brother and I bought for you this afternoon when we went to buy duvet covers. Try them on and see if they fit."
As she spoke, Lu Yiyue turned around and picked up the shopping bag from the sofa. Seeing that her younger sister wanted to try on clothes, Ji Jiale wisely went out. Before leaving, he affectionately pinched his sister's cheek. She was very thin and didn't have the plumpness she used to have. He felt a little sorry for her.
"Go to the study, brother. Text me if you need anything." He didn't want his sister running around.
As soon as he stepped out, he bumped into Xiaoyu, who was coming out of her room. Xiaoyu was holding a plush pillow, a cute doll that Xixi had given her. Ji Jiale pressed his palm against Xiaoyu's forehead and said, "Slow down."
Ji Xinyu glanced inside and, noticing her parents weren't in the room, asked, "Oh, I'm sleeping with my sister tonight. Where are Mom and Dad? Are they downstairs?"
Ji Jiale was worried that her two younger sisters would chat too late, and that Hanhan needed to rest and couldn't stay up late. "Okay, go to bed early. Hanhan can't stay up late."
Ji Xinyu nodded, patted her chest, and said, "I know, I won't let my sister stay up late. I'll keep an eye on her. Don't worry, brother, you can go ahead and do your work." She then waved her hand.
After giving the instructions, Ji Jiale went to his study. He had a video conference scheduled for that evening, which he postponed. Ji Xinyu went straight into Hanhan's room, put a cushion on the bed, turned back, and closed the door without locking it.
Hanhan was wearing an irregular light pink sweater and pajama bottoms. A pair of white pants were also lying on the quilt, so it should be a set.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, sis, why don't you try a different style in the future? I think you look quite feminine in this sweater. You should put away all those black ones in your closet." To restart your life, you need a new way of living.
Ji Xinhan smiled, but not very naturally. She had never worn such feminine clothes before. Just like Xiaoyu said, the clothes in her closet were either black or white, or camouflage, and they were all very normal, without any off-the-shoulder or irregular designs.
"It's alright, but it seems a little mismatched with me." There was a slight awkwardness.
Lu Yiyue walked over, pulled down Hanhan's serve, ran her fingers through the ends of her hair, and restyled her hair. "It looks pretty good, but you're just not used to wearing it yet. You'll get used to it after a while. Mom didn't wear very feminine clothes before either. She wore jeans and sneakers, and later skirts and flats." She just never wore high heels.
Ji Xinhan nodded. She knew that her mother used to not wear skirts, and she didn't even like to carry bags. It was Ji's sister-in-law who told them this.
Seeing that her sister agreed, Lu Yiyue took the clothes to be washed. She didn't let the maid wash them, but took them to her own room to do it herself. The new sheets were taken to the dry cleaners, and because she paid extra, the wash was done very quickly.
When Lu Yiyue returned to her room, Ji Jiale had just finished showering and was coming out of the room. This was the most comfortable shower she had had in a long time. In the past, she was afraid that Hanhan would suddenly wake up, so she would just finish showering quickly.
Glancing at the clothes in Lu Yiyue's hand, he asked, "Are these going to be washed?"
Lu Yiyue said gently, "Yes, I'm planning to take a shower. Hanhan said it's okay to try."
"Let me do it." Ji Jiale said, draping a towel around his neck and reaching for the clothes in her hands, but Lu Yiyue refused, "You sit down and I'll blow-dry your hair for you. There aren't many pieces, so a quick wash will do."
Ji Jiale wanted to say something, but Lu Yiyue gently patted her. In the end, Ji Jiale couldn't resist her stubbornness and let her do the laundry, then went to blow-dry her hair herself.
One of them was washing clothes in the bathroom, while the other was drying her hair and chatting. Ji Jiale let Yueyue wash in the bathroom, since the bathroom was big enough and there was no need to go to the laundry room.
The sound of the hairdryer combined with the sound of running water doesn't seem out of place; in fact, it's quite harmonious.
Lu Yiyue washed the clothes very carefully, her head lowered. The already clean clothes were washed again and again by her. Ji Jiale turned his head to look at her profile. Her skin was very fair, and it would turn red with the slightest touch.
As she looked down, a stray strand of hair fell. He had just finished drying his hair, put the hairdryer away, and tucked her hair behind her ear. The sudden touch made her look up and notice that his hair wasn't completely dry. She said softly, "Dry it a little longer; it's still a little damp."
He suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and tightened his grip on her. "I'll stay with you once you're done washing and drying off."
Lu Yiyue laughed, mocking him for acting like a child, "How am I supposed to wash when you're holding me like this?"
Because of the suppressed emotions he'd been suppressing lately, he hadn't treated her well and must have neglected her a lot. He couldn't help but lean closer to her fair neck and kiss her. "You do yours, I'll hug you, it won't bother you."
Lu Yiyue was silent for a while. She could hear a hint of relief in his tone. At least he could act like a rascal. In the end, out of pity for him, she indulged him and did not push him away. She bent over and continued washing, with a smile on her lips.
Ji Jiale was unusually clingy today. Lu Yiyue had lost count of how many times he kissed her while she was doing laundry. He was like a chick pecking at rice, making her lose interest in doing laundry. But since he was in a good mood, she couldn't bear to stop him.
In another room, Ji Hancheng, Ji Xinyu, Ji Xinhan, and Tang Junyao were chatting. One of the twins was lying down, and the other was sitting in bed. Tang Junyao and Ji Hancheng pulled up chairs and sat on the side.
Ji Xinyu had promised to chat with Hanhan, but instead of talking Hanhan to sleep, she had already fallen fast asleep herself. Perhaps it was because she had been on edge for so long and hadn't had a proper night's sleep, but now she felt very secure sleeping next to her sister.
Before they knew it, they had fallen asleep. Listening to the even breathing around them, the three of them smiled at each other. Tang Junyao felt a little sorry for Hanhan when she saw the smile on her face; she had lost weight.
This child used to have a big appetite and her face was always quite chubby, but now it's all gone. "This child is probably too tired. Hanhan, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell Mommy right away."
"Mom, everything went well at today's checkup. I'm all better now." As she spoke, Ji Xinhan stretched out her arm and moved it around, afraid that her parents wouldn't believe her, to show that she really was fine.
The couple turned their heads simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and Ji Hancheng spoke up, in a consultative tone, "Hanhan, Dad's thinking of going to the snow mountain. Would you like to come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xinhan's eyes widened in surprise, and her voice suddenly rose. Realizing she had spoken too loudly, she glanced at her sleeping younger sister beside her and then lowered her voice again. "Snow Mountain, where is it?"
"It's overseas, want to go take a look together?" Ji Hancheng's eyes were filled with anticipation as he stared at his daughter, afraid that she would refuse.
A few seconds later, Ji Xinhan seemed to understand what her father meant, smiled, and said, "Okay, then I'll come along. Just the two of us?"
Ji Hancheng: "And your Uncle Lin Yuan."
"Uncle Lin Yuan, does he want to go too? He............" Ji Xinhan swallowed back the question she wanted to ask.
"Okay, you'll see when you get there. Dad will start making arrangements. The two of us will go on a trip, and then we'll attend your brother's wedding when we get back."
Ji Xinhan wanted to apologize to her sister-in-law for this, but her sister-in-law wouldn't allow it. She simply said that she would be happy to have another younger sister to welcome her into the family. Actually, Ji Xinhan knew that her sister-in-law was just comforting her. "Has the wedding date for your brother been set?"
Tang Junyao saw guilt in her daughter's eyes and comforted her, "Not yet, we're still choosing a date. You and Dad go out and play first, and we'll let you know when you're back. Maybe the date will be after you come back. Mom won't go with you. Your grandpa's legs aren't good, so Mom needs to stay home and take care of him. Your brother and sister-in-law have to go to work, so Mom will be the family doctor at home."
The couple stayed in their daughter's room for a while before preparing to leave. Ji Hancheng stood up, patted his daughter's head, and said, "Go to sleep, Daddy's leaving."
Goodnight, Dad and Mom.
"Good night, sweet dreams. Don't think about anything else. We agreed on this this afternoon, okay?" Tang Junyao touched her daughter's face and said with a smile.
Ji Xinhan nodded, a smile playing on her lips, "Mm."
After leaving his daughter's room, Ji Hancheng called Lin Yuan and asked him to make arrangements. The date was set for the 20th of the first lunar month, after Hanhan had recovered for a few days and Xiaoyu was ready to go back to school.
"Let's bring more bodyguards. Didn't you say that area is frequented by wild animals? Our goal is to help Hanhan clear her mind and create new memories, not to risk her life."
Tang Junyao was still a little worried. She had never experienced this kind of thrilling wilderness survival before, but in the afternoon she had seen a lot of videos of wilderness adventure enthusiasts online, which seemed a bit dangerous.
Ji Hancheng put his arm around Yao Yao's shoulder and led her into the house. "Don't worry, Lin Yuan stayed there alone for three months back then. The three of us plus 10 bodyguards are safe."
Early the next morning.
Ji Xinhan got up early and slept well all night. Little did she know that Tang Junyao had added sleeping pills to her daughter's bedtime milk, because she was afraid that Ji Xinhan would have nightmares and wanted her to sleep peacefully for a few days to recover.
Inside the restaurant, the family sat together having breakfast; it had been a long time since they had all been together like this.
Ji Xinhan: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"How did I fall asleep last night? We were chatting with you, weren't we?" Ji Xinyu had forgotten how she fell asleep; she just suddenly drifted off while we were chatting.
Ji Xinhan: "I was asleep too, Grandpa. Do you need this? I'll get it for you."
Ji Hang waved his hand, "Leave it there, Grandpa can take it himself. Are you feeling better?"
Despite saying that, Ji Xinhan still helped her grandfather get breakfast and put it on his plate. She also asked him if he wanted some milk, but Ji Hang waved his hand to indicate that it was enough.
After preparing breakfast for her grandfather, Ji Xinhan replied with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm all better now. Look, I'm fully recovered."
Ji Hancheng suddenly spoke up, his voice deep, "I'm planning to go on a trip with Hanhan in a few days. You can arrange things at the company. Lin Yuan will also be coming with us."
Lu Yiyue turned to look at Ji Jiale. She didn't say anything, and didn't know what her father and Hanhan were going to do. As a junior, it was inappropriate for her to ask, so she ate her meal quietly.
Ji Jiale nodded. He knew what his father was thinking: he would be even busier after Uncle Lin left. "Okay, I understand. Have fun."
The last sentence was addressed to his younger sister. Ji Xinhan nodded, worried that her brother might be overwhelmed. "Dad, if..."
"Looking down on your brother?" Ji Jiale asked his sister with a smile.
Ji Xinhan shook her head.
"Then have fun!"
"oh."
Neither Ji Hang nor Yuan Shu stopped their son's arrangement; they simply nodded and did not object.
