I am Xinchuan.
Yes, that's right.
I am Jiang An's "bad husband."
As for the fact that I am a bad husband...
To be honest, I found out just like everyone else, after seeing the novel written by Jiang An online.
Thank you, Internet.
Otherwise, I might never have known that my wife could curse so fiercely...
Ahem, back to the point.
The reason I'm suddenly here is mainly to help wrap up Jiang An's novel.
Don't ask me why she isn't writing this ending herself.
Some people have their arms in a cast but still think about playing on their phones every day.
Not happening.
Huh?
You want to know why her arm is in a cast?
Of course, it's not because I abused her...
Well, she originally didn't want me to mention it.
After all, having confidently tied a bunch of so-called safety ropes with bed sheets, only to slip and fall off the balcony...
It was truly embarrassing.
But don’t worry.
With me downstairs acting as a cushion for her, she’s not in serious trouble; she just has a broken right hand.
In comparison—
I, who have been in a wheelchair for half a month, seem to be the unluckier one.
As for Chen Feiyang—
He’s currently squatting in a detention center.
The trial will start in a few days.
Illegal detention, hiring someone to harm others...
The evidence is conclusive.
He can’t escape.
Some people are curious whether he found me that night and how I managed to locate Jiang An.
Actually, as soon as Jiang An left that day, I guessed she was heading to Chen Qiqi's place, so I drove after her.
It was just too strange that "Chen Qiqi" had been chatting with her on WeChat. I was worried something might happen to her, so I even called the police.
I arrived at Chen Qiqi's house right after the police did.
The problem was...
I didn’t know the exact building and unit number of Chen Qiqi's residence.
It was quite awkward.
I could only go door to door within the community.
Later on, I ran into Chen Feiyang.
We got into a fight.
I didn't lose.
But he stubbornly refused to tell me where he had taken Jiang An.
Eventually, the police arrived and took him away in handcuffs.
Just as the police were leading him away, I turned around and saw Jiang An sitting on the balcony of the third floor, throwing down bed sheets...
Well, I won't go into the details of what happened next.
I'll let her keep some dignity.
By the way.
Let me clarify something.
I must swear on my Appearance—
I really have nothing to do with Zhang Yunxin!
Our company has always had a partnership with that project; it just wasn't under my jurisdiction before.
After Jiang An's incident, I reached out to Zhang Yunxin via email to help treat her.
Zhang Yunxin was quite righteous.
Without hesitation, she had her team come back to help me.
However, the condition was that I had to convince my boss to add another two hundred million in investment...
In short.
I managed to secure the investment.
The team has returned home.
I took Jiang An for Hypnotherapy, and the effects were immediate, with no side effects.
However, to ensure the stability of the treatment, she still needs to take medication for a while.
Yes, it's the kind of medication she suspects I poisoned her with.
The medicine was brought back from abroad by Zhang Yunxin after a long journey.
Zhang Yunxin returned to the country a few days later than her team, and by then, Jiang An had completely forgotten about the previous events.
Of course, that includes her own experience with hypnosis.
So, to avoid her questioning and potentially revealing the truth, I didn’t tell her I went to the airport to pick up Zhang Yunxin that day.
Sigh...
If I had known there would be so many complications afterward, I wouldn’t have told that lie!
It’s so unfair.
I really didn’t cause my mother-in-law's car accident!
Zhang Yunxin has already apologized to me about that incident.
To be honest, the person driving that day wasn’t her at all.
It was her fiancé, Mr. Zhong.
Mr. Zhong had a couple of drinks with clients that afternoon and shouldn’t have been driving.
But Zhang Yunxin had just returned to the country and was unfamiliar with the roads. Thinking that the lab wasn't far away, he asked Mr. Zhong to drive.
Who would have thought that just two kilometers down the road, something would happen?
In order to protect Mr. Zhong, Zhang Yunxin switched seats with him before the traffic police arrived.
So, you see.
Don't drink and drive; if you drink, don't drive.
No one should harbor any illusions!
Alright.
Let me explain about that time I got drunk.
It really wasn’t just me drinking alone with Zhang Yunxin.
That day, a Regular Client brought a few bottles of local specialties and insisted on treating me to dinner.
It was only when I arrived at the table that I realized Zhang Yunxin was also there.
The Regular Client really knew how to encourage drinking.
By the end, there were hardly any sober people at the table.
And that wine was truly strange.
It tasted sweet, almost like a beverage.
Who could have guessed it had such a strong aftereffect?
Let me think…
I believe it was Yangmei Wine from Yunnan?
Try bringing it back yourself if you don't believe me.
Hmm?
You want to know what I talked about when I said, "Thank you for chatting with me so much"?
That's really unfair!
I only chatted with Zhang Yunxin for a bit when I took a taxi and dropped her off on the way home.
What else could I do?
She came all the way back to help me, and it wouldn't be right to just leave her at the restaurant entrance and ignore her late at night, would it?
Besides, what else could we talk about?
We talked about Jiang An.
Zhang Yunxin mentioned that she had an unexpected miscarriage while with her ex-husband, so she really understood Jiang An's feelings after the incident. She urged me to spend more time with Jiang An whenever I could.
Did I need her to tell me that?
I can't wait to get off work and rush home to be with my wife.
If it weren't for being a struggling worker...
Who would want to go out for socializing?
Speaking of which, there's something Jiang An still doesn't know.
When I graduated from high school, I didn't stay in the country for Zhang Yunxin.
The main reason was that my family's situation wasn't great at the time.
Studying abroad is expensive!
During those two years, my mom was hospitalized and spent a considerable amount of money.
Let alone tuition fees.
I couldn't even afford a plane ticket to go abroad.
Besides, if I went overseas, who would take care of my mom?
And then there was the time when I graduated from university.
Actually, I had already broken up with Zhang Yunxin long before that.
The main reason for our breakup was simply that our personalities didn't match.
At that time, I just wanted to relax and play some games in the dormitory, but she insisted on waking me up at seven in the morning to help her find research materials at the library.
I only managed to go three days in a week.
On the fourth day, I just couldn't get up.
I told her maybe we shouldn't go today.
She replied, "Fine, then let's break up."
I said, "Alright, breaking up is fine."
She then said, "As compensation, you should give me your chance to go abroad."
I...
I really wasn't being overly romantic.
I just wanted to sleep in.
Oh, and there's something else that Jiang An seems to be unaware of.
She said she wasn't clear-headed, but the truth is, I was specifically waiting for her at the court the day we met.
I had seen her playing alone for several days prior. It was always around three or four in the afternoon.
At that time, I thought to myself, this junior plays pretty well.
And she's quite attractive.
Every time she scored, her dimples would show prominently when she smiled.
So sweet.
A simple and straightforward Q&A session—
Q: Why is the vest knitted by Mother-in-law in Chen Feiyang's hands?
A: That thing was given to me by her when I visited the nursing home that day.
I was afraid that Jiang An would remember something if she saw it, so I had no choice but to throw it out with some other things.
I really didn't expect Chen Feiyang to have a habit of rummaging through trash cans.
Q: What about the letters in the storage room?
A: The letters were all written by me.
After Jiang An had her accident, I felt very guilty.
After all, if I had gone to pick her up that day, those things wouldn't have happened.
But later on, Jiang An was in such a bad state that I couldn't keep bringing those things up in front of her.
So, I just wrote letters to find some solace.
Don't worry, there's no haunting at home; everyone should believe in science.
Q: How tall are you? Can you send a selfie?
A: The user has been deactivated.
It's been several days without an update.
Just some daily life of an old couple.
A few days ago, my wife bought a new carpet, and it was quite expensive.
That night, she accidentally spilled her milk tea all over it.
I rushed over and asked, "Are you okay? Did you burn yourself?"
She looked so dejected and said, "I feel so frustrated... I want to cry! It's a brand new carpet! Why am I so clumsy?!"
I reassured her, "It's okay, it's normal not to have strength yet since you just recovered. Go watch some TV; I'll take care of this."
She sighed, "Ugh, this is so annoying. I can't let this happen again!"
I replied, "It's just a small issue. I'll clean it up right away."
She said, "Next time something like this happens, I’ll find a way to blame you and give you a good scolding. Hmm... that should make me feel less frustrated!"
I responded, "Wait... what???"
Just a few days after that incident, my wife bought an Assembly Cabinet.
The delivery brought a stack of wooden boards along with several packs of screws and a Wrench.
Well, an Assembly Cabinet.
As the name suggests, it needs to be assembled by oneself.
I originally intended to take on this task, but my wife pushed me aside.
She rolled up her sleeves and insisted on doing it herself, claiming she was Lu Ban's Successor.
Lu Ban...
Successor...
Ten minutes later, while I was cooking, " Lu Ban's Successor" was shouting for me from the living room.
"Are you done?" I asked.
"No, just let you handle it," she replied.
"Finally realized that your husband is more capable than you?" I teased.
"Not exactly," she said.
"Then what is it?"
"This thing is expensive! If I mess it up and can't put it back together, that would be a huge loss! But if you do it and it doesn't turn out well, I can just scold you and make you buy me a new one, plus a new pair of shoes as compensation! Isn't that delightful?"
"Alright... You make a valid point, very clear-headed. No wonder you're Lu Ban's Successor."
Many people are concerned about Jiang An's situation, so I’ll clarify.
Well, Jiang An has been doing quite well recently.
To be honest, ever since the incident with Chen Feiyang, Jiang An has finally moved on from her previous troubles.
She no longer harbors any negative thoughts.
So, I no longer need to take her for Hypnotherapy sessions.
Yesterday, I accompanied her to Dongning Cemetery to visit Chen Qiqi.
She asked me to wait for her in the car.
I was worried about her, so I didn’t dare to walk far and stayed right by the steps.
She spent quite a while up there by herself.
I had no idea what she talked about with Chen Qiqi.
When she came down, her eyes were swollen from crying.
On the way home, I was quite concerned about her state and kept trying to find topics to chat with her, thinking about how to comfort her.
However, it seemed I was overthinking it.
She immediately noticed that I was worried and turned around to comfort me instead.
She said to me, "Don’t worry, I’ve come to terms with it! Qiqi is gone, and no one has the chance to turn back time. Since she protected me with her life, I should live well for both of us. I’ll live freely and carelessly, just like she would!"
I was a bit surprised at how suddenly optimistic she had become. I glanced at her and said, "Carefree might not be the right term..."
She rolled her eyes at me. "What do you know? This is Qiqi’s style!"
Well, I wasn’t sure what that style really was.
But I still want to thank Chen Qiqi.
Thank you for protecting my most precious treasure.
This is my final update.
I am Jiang An.
Thank you all for reading my story.
Everything has been going well for me and Xinchuan lately.
As for Chen Feiyang's case, the final verdict was ten years in prison.
He used to be an excellent lawyer, but unfortunately, the last time he stood in court, it was as a defendant.
Zhang Yunxin and Mr. Zhong got married last week.
She said she wanted to have the wedding before her pregnancy showed, otherwise she wouldn't fit into her wedding dress.
But she clearly hasn't gained any weight at all.
The two projects that Zhang Yunxin's team has been working on finally passed approval and are now being promoted domestically.
My mom became one of their first experience patients.
Now she hardly wants me to visit her anymore; she keeps asking when Dr. Zhang will come by.
I heard from the director of the rehabilitation center that my mom's emotions have been relatively stable lately, and she hasn't been confused much. If we want, we can take her home anytime.
Xinchuan got a promotion at work and has been so busy lately that he barely has time to eat.
I occasionally make some snacks for him to take to the office as a little treat to tide him over.
Of course, they are the plain kind without any extra ingredients.
Oh, and there's me.
I published an art book about the story between me and Qiqi.
In the parallel world of the book, Qiqi is with a boy two years younger than her.
Even when we're old and gray, we remain best friends, living carefree and without a worry...
Ah, I almost forgot.
There's some good news I haven't shared with you—
I'm pregnant.
I just found out last week.
I think maybe my child felt too lonely in heaven, so they decided to come back to be with their mom and dad.
This time, I will protect them well and never let anyone have the chance to hurt them again...
Alright.
That's all for my story.
Finally, I'll leave you with a quote from John Shores in "Wishing Tree"—
"There is no wound that cannot be healed, no descent that cannot be ended. Everything lost will return in another form."
