Chapter 1219: Chapter 1221: I Don’t Want to Get Engaged, I Don’t Want to Marry That Person (Part 1)

"Ji Anning is very nice."

After getting in the car, Qiu Yang praised Ji Anning with interest, "Beautiful, graceful, and a little quirky. No wonder Ji Anning is smitten by her."

Xiang Yiqing smiled and replied, "He’s a protective husband."

"I can see that." Qiu Yang nodded. Seeing the car was already moving and approaching the traffic lights, she said, "You can drop me off at the intersection. I’ll take a taxi home."

"I’m not on duty tonight, so I have time to take you." Xiang Yiqing didn’t listen to Qiu Yang and drove past the traffic lights.

Qiu Yang smiled, "Then I won’t be pretentious."

"No need to be polite," Xiang Yiqing replied lightly to Qiu Yang, and then asked, "Where do you live?"

Qiu Yang answered, "Qingfeng Court."

Xiang Yiqing knew that place, he said, "That’s an old district now, a bit out of the way."

It’s currently the only undeveloped old district in Hai City. The economic contrast between the mountain and seaside areas there is quite significant.

The nursing home where he volunteers is over there, so he knows the largest community there, Qingfeng Court.

"Yes," Qiu Yang nodded, but she didn’t feel bothered by being out of the way. Instead, she seemed to enjoy it, "But the vegetables at the market there are very fresh, you can buy live poultry, the air is good, and when I’m not working, I can go downstairs to practice Tai Chi with those elderly people."

Hearing this, Xiang Yiqing glanced at Qiu Yang from the corner of his eye. In the dim light, there was a genuine smile on her delicate face, as if just talking about her life made her forget everything else.

He smiled, "It seems you’re quite satisfied with your current life."

He then added, "You still have a passion for cooking."

Qiu Yang said, "Yes, I’ve liked cooking since high school. At that time, my parents were busy with work, so I cooked during the summer vacation."

Xiang Yiqing nodded, "I know, you’ve said it before."

He said it casually. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

After saying it, both of them were stunned for a moment, their past memories flashed through their minds.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, so quiet that they could hear their own heartbeats.

Xiang Yiqing stared straight ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

He’s someone who takes a natural approach to any relationship, especially love. He believes life shouldn’t be completely dictated by love, so he doesn’t take it too seriously.

Whether it was someone he once had feelings for or had thought about being with, or Qiu Yang, with whom he was once together, he has always believed that what’s meant to be will be, and what’s not meant can’t be forced.

What’s meant to stay beside him won’t leave, and what’s not meant to stay beside him can’t be kept.

Therefore, when Qiu Yang left silently back then, he was very indifferent about it, so indifferent that those around him doubted whether he ever truly loved her.

Actually, even he doesn’t know the answer to this question, whether he loved or how deeply he loved.

However, the relationship that once didn’t matter, now brings unexpected emotions and feelings when mentioned again.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s awkwardness, or perhaps... regret.

This is a feeling he has never had before.

"Your lifestyle is so fast-paced, you should make sure to keep up with the nutrition."

After a while of silence, Qiu Yang spoke, breaking the quietness.

Xiang Yiqing waved his hand with a laugh, "Don’t even mention it. My mom has the hospital cafeteria prepare different nutritional meals for me every day, and I’m already getting a headache from it."
