The Daily Life of Being the Campus Idol's Fake BoyfriendCh74 - Extra 9[END]

Ten years after the divorce (2)

Jiang Ying was startled for a second before touching her face and smiling: “Women must take care of themselves, you idiot. You have no clue how much money I spent on high-tech beauty treatments to stay this way. If you don’t want to get old, I urge you to do it as well.” dO7Bu9

Qi Yuancheng gave a light smile, shook his head, and stated, “I am a man, and I must accept the fact that I am no longer young. What’s more, wrinkles on a man’s face are a type of qualification. What purpose is it for a man who is clearly approaching fifty to try to look like a 30-year-old, besides going out to deceive young girls?”

Jiang Ying gave him a funny look: “Are you suggesting I use my appearance to deceive people?”

Qi Yuancheng: “No, not at all. You’re a woman, and it’s a woman’s right to stay beautiful forever.”

“You sure know what to say,” Jiang Ying remarked with an angry smile. BfJ0YD

She paused, leaned over slightly, and asked in a low voice, “Hey, after all these years, you really haven’t thought about finding another one?”

Qi Yuancheng froze. Of course he considered it. But, no matter how hard he looked, there was no other woman like Jiang Ying who made him painfully struggle between deep love and the powerlessness of not being able to grasp it.

Over the years, he had discreetly observed Jiang Ying’s growth and transformation, and had watched her career progress as she valiantly pursued her aspirations with limitless grandeur. A quick search on the Internet yielded footage of her on news shows – she was still stunningly beautiful and intellectual, with the charm of a mature woman.

He ought to be happy for her, congratulate her on her success like a gentleman, and send stereotypical and repetitive good wishes text messages on New Year’s and other festivals. He could only look from afar, and he no longer dared to let down his defenses in front of her, who was covered in thorns, with a vulnerable body.

Jiang Ying, however, seemed a little different tonight. She brought up memories of their time together.

She wasn’t in a rush at the time, and she didn’t check her watch frequently when they were together, as if remaining with him for an extra second was the same as wasting time.

“I considered it, but I couldn’t find the right one.” Qi Yuancheng stated truthfully.

Jiang Ying’s eyes grew brighter as she hooked her mouth in a smile. h9S4iE

They chatted for a long time and eventually became a touch tipsy. When they stood up, Jiang Ying was still a little unsteady, so Qi Yuancheng grabbed her arm and helped her up, having her lean on him.

She had a faint scent of perfume on her body. It was the Chanel No. 7 that he was familiar with. Maybe she was a nostalgic person. After all these years, the perfume brand she used for herself had not changed.

Qi Yuancheng gave her a loving look before swiftly regaining his composure and asking her to call the driver.

“What time does your flight leave?” Jiang Ying glanced at him with misty wistful eyes in the dim light of the night. vdTPlI

“Six o’clock tomorrow morning.” Qi Yuancheng replied.

Jiang Ying was taken aback. She looked at her watch and panicked when she discovered it was half past eleven: “Then you only have six and a half hours left,” she said.

No, it wasn’t six and a half hours. International flights required two hours of check-in at the airport, and he still had to return to the hotel. Perhaps he hadn’t packed his suitcase – he had a tendency to forget to pack his luggage on business trips, either with his favorite necktie or his treasured cuff-links.

The night breeze was a touch chilly. Jiang Ying hugged her shoulders and lowered her eyes. “I’ll see you off,” she remarked after a while. daEDM5

Qi Yuancheng was startled: “How will you see me off?”

“By going to your hotel,” Jiang Ying said with a smile.

Qi Yuancheng: “…”

From a legal standpoint, they were divorced and had complete romantic freedom, but at this very moment, a tipsy single man and single woman were returning to the hotel together in the middle of the night, and no one could promise that nothing would happen… Not to mention the fact that he still had a favorable opinion of her.

Reason told Qi Yuancheng that he had to refuse, but he couldn’t since he was intoxicated.

Qi Yuancheng summoned a car, and the two drove back to his presidential suite at Bulgari.

When they opened the door, the luggage was strewn around on the bedside table, the soft couch, and the sofa in the room, just as Jiang Ying had anticipated. Qi Yuancheng had also changed his tie before leaving and left the used one at the end of the bed.

Qi Yuancheng, embarrassed, arranged a seat for Jiang Ying: “I’m sorry… Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest? You can sleep in my bed, and I’ll pack my belongings.” Wni1KH

Jiang Ying wished to laugh but also felt warm. The ambiguity of the phrase “sleep in my bed” in particular tickled her ears. Qi Yuancheng sensed that as well and stepped to the side with an odd expression to pour water for her.

Surely, such phrases should not have left them feeling “ambiguous.” After all, they’d been together for eight years, shared a bed numerous times, and produced two attractive and intelligent children.

At this point, Jiang Ying wanted to question herself again – what went wrong?

“I’m not going to sleep; let me clean up with you.” She took a deep breath, dropped her high heels, and stepped onto the carpet barefoot. tdRv L

“This…” Qi Yuancheng was visibly embarrassed.

“What? Is there something here that I’m not supposed to see? Of course, if there is, I respect your privacy,” Jiang Ying said, raising her hands in a gesture of surrender.

“Obviously not. I’m just trying not to bother you too much.” Qi Yuancheng approached, holding a cup of hot water in his hands. “Be obedient. It’s nearly one o’clock. Just drink a cup of hot water and lie down. I’ll handle it myself.”

This long-lost “be obedient” nearly brought Jiang Ying to tears. At this moment, she admitted that she was essentially a woman who needed to be loved and cherished when she pulled off the outer garb of a successful career woman. NaXUhZ

—Was it worth it in the end, after so many years of working hard alone with a child in this city?

She adored this man and yearned for his hugs and kisses, which had never changed.

Jiang Ying swallowed her pride, hugged the man in front of her, and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.

Following that, Qi Yuancheng took advantage of the situation for his personal gain. He was only shocked for a second before embracing her and kissing her passionately… DPESd

The profound adoration in the corners of his eyes and brows, the roughness in his actions, and the strength with which he sucked her lips all gave her a sense of his desire.

The cup of water dropped on the floor, soaking the carpet, but no one cared.

Qi Yuancheng lifted her up and pressed her on the bed, trembling hands unbuttoning her shirt. He wasn’t sure if he tore off a button because he was nervous or anxious.

He regained some sobriety and came to a halt, his eyes evasive as he muttered “I’m sorry” uncertainly. QH6yFX

“Don’t say sorry,” Jiang Ying said as she raised her hand and pressed on his lips. Her delicate fingertips ran across the man’s jaw and Adam’s apple as she whispered, “Go on.”

—For many years, she had insisted on care and exercise, which had retained her physical beauty. When Qi Yuancheng saw her again, he lost his mind once more.

Ripppp, the man tore her clothes apart as she desired.

They made love, intimately intertwined, like two hungry and thirsty desert travelers who finally came at an oasis… lknYpy

It was already seven o’clock in the morning when they awoke.

Jiang Ying reclined in the crook of Qi Yuancheng’s arms and reminded him in a hoarse voice, “Your plane has flown away.”

“It’s okay, I’ll ask my assistant to reschedule the ticket for me…” said the man, tenderly kissing her on the temples.

Jiang Ying did not respond, but a smile formed at the corner of her mouth. VfLegU

Qi Yuancheng rescheduled his booking to the plane at 9 p.m. that night, but the flight was not direct to New York; instead, he had to transfer in Tokyo – despite the fact that it would arrive 20 hours later than planned, there was no way. It was the fastest option, and Qi Yuancheng needed to get there because he had an important meeting the day after next.

After getting out of bed, neither of them acknowledged what happened the night before in a tacit mutual understanding, exactly like the city’s common single men and women, who each took what they needed that night and went their separate ways after daylight.

However, as they parted ways at the airport, Qi Yuancheng remained reluctant. “Come see me when you have some free time. You will also have the opportunity to meet Xiao Yu,” Qi Yuancheng invited her on his own initiative. Despite this, he did not hold out much hope. Jiang Ying was unlikely to be free because news anchors worked practically all year.

Jiang Ying: “I will. I haven’t been abroad in a long time. When my assistant takes over my work shift next year, I’ll request annual leave to go out and play.” KJWHw4

Qi Yuancheng boarded the plane in a trance. It wasn’t until the city’s nighttime landscape faded from his eyesight that he recognized the love he thought was dead was exhibiting signs of resurrection…

After returning to the United States, Qi Yuancheng attempted to contact Qi Feng on his own initiative, insisting on discussing his relationship issues. But he didn’t know which of his statements irritated Qi Feng, prompting him to rage, “You want to control me?” and hang up the phone.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qi Yuancheng contacted Jiang Ying once more and complained, “Look at what this child said, can’t I care about him? Why is he still acting like a child at the age of twenty?”

During this period, their exchanges grew much more frequent, giving Qi Yuancheng the impression that he and Jiang Ying were not divorced. vV46RE

Jiang Ying stated over the phone, with schadenfreude, “He is correct. Legally, he was not in your custody. It’s not up to you now that he’s an adult, regardless of how you look at it.”

Qi Yuancheng: “…”

Jiang Ying nonchalantly stated, “Aren’t you a U.S. citizen now? Why are you still so adamant about homosexuality now that it is legal in the United States?”

“Is this a homosexual issue? I’m scared Qi Feng is using his affection to anger his parents and family.” Qi Yuancheng sighed, a regretful tone in his voice. 5yD0op

Jiang Ying paused before asking him impulsively, “Have you ever regretted our divorce?”

“Yes, I regret that our separation led the children to face difficulties growing up that they should not have suffered, and they went astray,” Qi Yuancheng admitted.

“Yuancheng, Xiao Feng has not gone astray,” Jiang Ying stated after a brief silence. “He’s in love with a very nice young man. I’ve met that kid. He’s excellent. I’ve never seen Xiao Feng happier as he is right now…”

“So you also think I’m redundant now?” Qi Yuancheng asked unwillingly after a long time. slQWbz

“No… I also regret our divorce, but I only regret losing you,” Jiang Ying said.

Qi Yuancheng’s heart was filled with conflicting emotions. For a fleeting instant, he felt that the years of loneliness and solitude he had endured had not been in vain.

On the other end of the phone, Qi Yuancheng remarked, “With your words, I no longer care if Xiao Feng is gay or not.”

I hope you liked reading the extras, particularly those who waited for them to be translated rather than MTLing.

I’m curious how KeKe’s folks will react to their son’s coming out of the closet. Perhaps Papa Ling will gladly agree because Qi Feng is the son of his Goddess… As for Jiang Ying and Qi Yuancheng, I suppose all’s well that ends well. Prepare to be blinded by pda*2, darling Qi Yu~ hehehe

Edit: The final extra has an altered version that I will not translate. You can find it on the website with the novel’s summaries.

See you, guys! Bye~~ xbzstT
