Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Announcing Good News, Holding a Wedding (9)

Since graduation, Su Hongxing had never returned to the campus for a walk.

She never expected that one day she would meet Xiao Ji in the faculty building of Taicheng University.

“You’re teaching here?” Su Hongxing couldn’t quite believe that Xiao Ji had actually given up business for literature.

“I’ve been here for nearly a month and I’m adapting quite well,” Xiao Ji poured Su Hongxing a cup of tea, with a modest smile on his face, “I heard that you and Ye Qilan are about to get married, so I wanted to see you and say congratulations in person.”

Su Hongxing came here this time, originally wanting to make Xiao Ji let go of her.

She didn’t expect Xiao Ji to be so calm, which made her seem somewhat petty.

“Xiao Ji, you no longer hate Ye Qilan?” Su Hongxing spoke hesitantly.

“Hating him doesn’t make my life any better. Besides, I’ve made plenty of mistakes over the years. As long as he can make you happy, there’s nothing for me to be upset about. Xingxing, if you ever feel wronged by him, don’t forget, the Xiao Family is your maternal home, and you can always come back.”

Xiao Ji’s face was relaxed, his smile warm and genial.

Seeing Xiao Ji like this, Su Hongxing felt as if time had rewound, bringing her back to the bright and energetic Xiao Ji, the one who had once stirred her heart.

“Xiao Ji, you’ll also meet a woman who you truly like in the future,” Su Hongxing said to Xiao Ji with a radiant smile.

Xiao Ji’s heart warmed; it had been a long time since he had seen Su Hongxing’s warm smile, identical to the one in his memories.

She must still like the same Xiao Ji as before, not the Xiao Ji, whose face and character were soiled by the business world and human nature. It was a pity that he had realized this too late.

When Xiao Ji escorted Su Hongxing out of the campus, many female students cast amorous glances at Xiao Ji, but he did not pay them any attention, like an old-fashioned man oblivious to romance.

“Xingxing, stop laughing! It’s impossible for me to get involved with my own students, and besides, they’re still young and have met too few people, their feelings at this time are not mature enough. Take good care of yourself, there’s no need to worry about my love life,” Xiao Ji lightly patted Su Hongxing’s shoulder, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

Su Hongxing slowed her pace, “Alright, you can stop here. Someone is waiting for me up ahead. Go about your business. When I get married, I’ll send you an invitation.”

Xiao Ji nodded, “Sure! Mind the baby in your belly, don’t walk too fast; take it easy.”

Su Hongxing waved with a smile, walked a few steps away, and sensed that Xiao Ji was still watching her steadfastly. She turned back and indeed, Xiao Ji’s gaze was fixed on her.

The rain had stopped, the leaves whirling in the wind, circling round and round, forming a beautiful backdrop behind him, yet it looked somewhat desolate.

“Go back, it’s windy out, I’m leaving, goodbye!” Su Hongxing waved again and got into the car.

As soon as she got in the car, Xiaohe handed her a pair of gloves, nagging incessantly, “If you don’t get in the car now, the master will have to come and fetch you himself. Hurry and put on the gloves, otherwise the master will blame me for not taking good care of you.”

Su Hongxing thought the car was heated, so why wear gloves? She turned to look out the window and noticed Xiao Ji was still standing there. Moreover, there was a woman standing beside him.

Because it was quite a distance away, she couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly, only that she looked somewhat thin…

“What’s wrong?” Xiaohe followed Su Hongxing’s gaze, but saw nothing.

“Maybe Xiao Ji has already found a girlfriend.”
