After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 398: He took 7 days off to recuperate.

He originally wanted to say that he felt Fang Qing might be pregnant.

But then I thought about it again. I was already annoyed enough by being their matchmaker, and now they were both insisting that they had no feelings for each other, making it seem like I had misunderstood.

What if the pregnancy was also a misunderstanding?

What if they simply have a health problem?

Forget it, he'd better not say anything more.

“She might be sick. She has no relatives here, and only one child. What can she do? Go back and see her. Even if you're divorced, you're still... still from the same hometown.”

Lu Jiangting frowned and nodded in agreement.

Can Fang Qing get sick?

I've known her for so long, and I've never seen her get sick.

Is she deliberately causing trouble because she doesn't want a divorce?

No, we must separate.

He had finally made up his mind, and he knew he couldn't be indecisive.

He can do it, he definitely can.

When Lu Jiangting returned home, he assumed Fang Qing had gone to work and that no one was home.

I didn't want to hear any noises coming from inside the house.

Lu Jiangting stopped and knocked on Fang Qing's door.

"Who?"

It's Fang Qing.

But isn't Fang Qing at work at this time?

"It's me, may I come in?"

"Oh, it's Jiang Ting. The door's unlocked, come in."

Pushing open the door, I saw Fang Qing lying weakly on the bed.

The windows and doors were all sealed tightly, making it airtight.

Lu Jiangting frowned and asked, "Are you sick?"

Could he really be sick?

Fang Qing said casually, "It's nothing, just a minor cold."

"You've always been healthy, how did you catch a cold?"

"These past few days have been windy and rainy, and the weather has gotten quite cold. I went to sweep the floor late at night, and I caught a cold from the rain and wind without even realizing it."

Lu Jiangting then remembered the terrible weather that had been affecting him these past few days.

"then you……"

Wait a minute.

I almost blurted out the words to her that I should stop going to work.

He had to hold back.

“If the weather is bad, just take the day off. If you get sick, it will cost money and you won’t be able to take care of Chenchen.”

"Yes, I took a week off."

"That's good."

Fang Qing gave a bitter smile. "I guess this will be the only time. My boss scolded me half to death for taking a week off. He said there are only four weeks in a month, and I have to take a week off. I might as well quit. Sigh! If you take someone's money, you have to obey their management. It's not easy to take someone's money. Jiang Ting, I understand now. Your job is not easy either."

Lu Jiangting opened his mouth, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

I thought to myself that although his job was a bit tough, at least he didn't have to get soaked in the rain on a freezing cold day.

However, her request for a week's leave is indeed excessive; any leader would be annoyed.

"Does it really take that long, a week?"

Fang Qing nodded and said, "I didn't want to do this either, but the doctor said I need to rest in bed for at least a week."

Lu Jiangting found it strange.

"What kind of illness requires a week of bed rest?" He happened to see the payment slip and medicine on the bedside table.

Just as he was about to go and get it, Fang Qing grabbed him and stuffed him into the quilt.

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Jiang Ting, this is my business, you don't need to worry about it. It's getting late, could you please bring Chenchen over for me?"

They won't let me see it?

What serious illness do you have that you can't let him know?

Lu Jiangting: "Fang Qing, what if she gets a serious illness..."

"I don't have any serious illness."

Fang Qing interrupted him, adopting an aloof and distant demeanor.

“It’s none of your business to worry about. Jiang Ting, in these past three years, it’s because you’ve always interfered in my affairs that you and Yu Yao have misunderstood each other and separated. That was wrong, so from now on, please be mindful of your boundaries and don’t meddle in things that aren’t your business.”

These were the words he had told himself countless times when he regretted his actions, and he never expected them to come out of Fang Qing's mouth.

Why is she only saying this now?

If she had been like this sooner... if she had been like this sooner... wouldn't he have been able to be with Yuyao?

Lu Jiangting was initially pleased with the tact in her words, but the thought that she had separated him and Yuyao forever filled him with even more hatred.

If I knew today, why bother?

He shouldn't have sympathized with her.

Lu Jiangting didn't say anything more and left her house directly.

After leaving Fang Qing's house, I continued deeper into the alley and soon arrived at my own home.

The room was filled with laughter and chatter as his parents played with Chenchen.

Hearing that laughter, the gloom in Lu Jiangting's heart vanished.

This is the kind of home he longed for.

Fang Qing couldn't get along with his parents, but Yu Yao was different.

Like herself, Yuyao was raised by her parents, who knew her inside and out.

Yuyao's parents loved her very much, and Yuyao loved her parents very much too.

If I had married Yuyao back then, many conflicts could have been avoided.

They were almost married, just a few days away, just one last step.

Happiness slipped through my fingers, and the more I think about it, the more unwilling I am to accept it.

Lu Jiangting let out a heavy sigh, loosened his clenched fists, and pushed open the door.

The people inside stopped laughing and looked at him.

"Jiang Ting, you're back quite early today."

Old Wang allowed him to leave a little earlier today.

"Yes, Dad, Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten. Little Sun, who cooked, left quite a while ago. What about you?"

"Me? I've already eaten. Dad, Chenchen, what are you playing?"

Wang Chenchen held up a paper toy gun and said, "Playing with guns, biubiubiu."

Lu Jiangting smiled and asked, "Who made it for you?"

"Grandpa made it."

"I played this when I was a kid, I had one too."

"Who made yours?"

"It was also made by my grandfather."

"Wow, Grandpa is amazing!"

Lu Cong's face was beaming with joy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jiangting said to Wang Chenchen, "Chenchen, let me take you home. You have to go to school tomorrow."

"I haven't had enough fun yet, I want to play a little longer."

“Your mother is sick and she’s waiting for you. I’ll take you home early.”

Lu Cong was taken aback. "Fang Qing is sick?"

"Yes, I only saw it when I got back."

Lu Cong had some doubts.

How did you get sick?

He thought Fang Qing was at work right now and that she would come to pick him up after she got off work.

What illness does she have?

Thinking that Fang Qing had to sneak around even when she was sick, Lu Jiangting said irritably, "I don't know, it seems like she caught a cold and took leave to rest at home."

"Tsk, taking leave just because you have a cold? That's a bit too dramatic. Back when your mother and I were working for work points, we weren't allowed to take leave as long as you could get up."

Wang Cuilan also said, "Yes, back then I gave birth to you three siblings. I only rested for three days after giving birth to your eldest sister. After giving birth to you and your second sister, I rested for one day and then went back to work."

Lu Jiangting said, "She might be quite ill, so she took a week off."

"What? What kind of cold requires a week of rest?"

"I don't know, she told me to leave it alone. I think she must have been to the hospital, she had medicine and receipts and stuff, but when I tried to see them, she hid them."
