Chapter 139 What does closing your eyes mean? Do you have expectations of me?

Ji Ying froze.

Liang Yizhi paused, then raised an eyebrow. "What kind of new attack move is this?"

Ji Ying quickly covered her mouth, "I'm not clean anymore."

Liang Yizhi's expression darkened for a moment, and surprisingly, he did not refute her.

He put her in the wheelchair and looked at Xue Qin.

Xue Qin quickly pointed to the driver's seat and explained, "Boss, I need to park the car first."

Therefore, the task of escorting Ji Ying upstairs fell back to Liang Yizhi.

He gave Xue Qin a cold glance, then pushed his wheelchair toward the elevator.

When they arrived at Ji Ying's house, they found that the wheelchair was too wide to fit inside.

Liang Yizhi sighed helplessly, and bent down to hug her again.

This time, Ji Ying was smarter and reached out to support his shoulders to prevent him from using too much force again.

The two entered the room peacefully.

As expected.

Ji Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

The warm breath brushed against Liang Yizhi's ears and neck like a feather.

Liang Yizhi's breathing quickened, his previously steady steps suddenly faltered, and his ankle unexpectedly snagged on the carpet in front of the sofa...

The two fell onto the sofa, and he landed on top of her.

The living room fell silent instantly, with only the sound of each person breathing.

She was soft; he knew that the first time he held her. But this softness, warm from her body, and the forbidden feeling of being beneath her, were experiences he was never having felt before.

Liang Yizhi momentarily forgot what to do, his gaze fixed on her slightly parted lips, unable to look away.

Ji Ying's heart was pounding, and she even forgot to push him away.

A few breaths passed before Liang Yizhi came to his senses and immediately tried to get off her.

But Ji Ying grabbed his tie.

The force wasn't strong, but it was enough to keep him from getting up.

Liang Yizhi paused for a second, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Invite me?"

Ji Ying took a deep breath, and with her face burning, she finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"Did you change my clothes the night I had a high fever?"

A deeper meaning flashed in his eyes as he countered, "Do you wish it were me?"

Ji Ying was breathing rapidly and couldn't speak.

At this moment, Liang Yizhi lowered his head, as if to kiss her.

Ji Ying was so flustered that she quickly closed her eyes.

The expected kiss never came.

She only heard him chuckle softly, his warm breath brushing against the corner of her lips.

"What does closing your eyes mean? Do you have expectations of me?"

Ji Ying suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly loosened her grip on his tie, trying to push him away.

Liang Yizhi, however, had already gotten up first, stood by the window with his back to her, and calmly straightened his disheveled clothes, as if the person who had almost kissed him just now was not him.

Ji Ying then realized that he had tricked her, and she was both ashamed and angry. She grabbed the cushion next to her and threw it at him.

Is it fun to tease me?

Liang Yizhi turned his head, a deep smile on his face, "If it were me, what would you do?"

Ji Ying was speechless for a moment.

What could she do?

What era are we living in? Do we still expect people to be forced to take responsibility just because someone has seen our body, like in the old society?

Besides, he is Liang Yizhi, so how could he possibly be interested in a woman who has been married before?

Moreover, they all have their own marriages...

Liang Yizhi didn't get an answer, turned his head, and gave a self-deprecating smile.

He's already in his thirties, yet he almost lost his composure.

Fortunately, his self-control from many years had held up, and he ultimately did not voice his decision, which went against societal norms.

Just then, the intercom at the door rang.

Ji Ying wanted to go and answer it, but her legs were too weak.

Liang Yizhi walked to the entrance hall, and before Ji Ying could stop him, he had already picked up the phone.

Lin Meizhen's enthusiastic voice came from the other end immediately, "Yingying, I brought you ginger duck. Tell the security guard to let me in."

Liang Yizhi's gaze shifted slightly, and after a second's pause, he said calmly, "She's not here."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ji Ying could hardly believe her ears.

She stared at him with wide eyes, "How...how could you do this?"

The man turned and leaned against the wall, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "What else should I say? Do you want her to see us together?"

Ji Ying blushed deeply at this deliberately misinterpreted remark.

Liang Yizhi raised an eyebrow slightly, then slowly added, "Don't get excited, no need to thank me."

"I thank your whole family!"

Ji Ying threw another cushion from the sofa at him.

Inside the guardhouse.

Lin Meizhen held the phone, stunned for several seconds.

That male voice was definitely not Gu Yanchen's voice.

Could it be that Ji Ying has another man in her life?

Lin Meizhen placed the thermos in the guardhouse and walked out, overjoyed.

It's a situation where everyone is greening each other, how exciting!

...

Upstairs, Ji Ying was clutching her stomach with her hands crossed.

Liang Yizhi glanced at his phone, a bad feeling rising within him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Ying whispered, "I need to go to the toilet."

Liang Yizhi's expression changed slightly. "Could you please bear with it a little longer? The nanny will be here soon."

“I…” Ji Ying lowered her head, “I don’t need your nanny.”

Just as Liang Yizhi was about to speak, the doorbell rang.

Fearing he might do something reckless, Ji Ying quickly said, "You're not allowed to open the door."

This time, Liang Yizhi obediently stood there without moving.

"Go hide in the bedroom," Ji Ying said.

Liang Yizhi frowned. "I'm ashamed to be seen by others?"

The other person couldn't wait for her to open the door, so they started entering the password themselves.

Ji Ying panicked. "Go to the bedroom. Don't speak or make any noise. Find a chance to leave on your own."

Liang Yizhi, “…”

"Yingying, I rang the doorbell and then I remembered you had a problem with your leg. Are you feeling better now?"

As Xiao Xia spoke, she carried the insulated container in as she walked in.

"Here, this is for you from Aunt Lin."

"Xiaxia, I need to go to the toilet, can you help me?" Ji Ying said.

Xiao Xia quickly put down the thermos and went to help her.

"Can you walk? I'll carry you."

Ji Ying gritted her teeth, "I have some strength now, just help me up."

She went to the restroom with great difficulty.

As this door closed, the bedroom door clicked open.

Liang Yizhi strolled out from inside with a calm expression, leaving Xiao Xia speechless with surprise.

Liang Yizhi pursed his lips, gave her a slight nod, and then calmly went out the door.

He even closed the door with a touch of class.

Xiao Xia felt as if her world and time had become disordered.

She actually saw Liang Yizhi at her best friend's house?!

When Ji Ying came out of the bathroom, she helped her to the sofa. "Yingying, there was someone at your house just now..."

Seeing Ji Ying's sudden tense expression, she changed the subject, "...a big black rat ran out."

Ji Ying calmed down and nodded in response, "Yes, it was that big black rat that brought me back. We didn't do anything, we were just afraid you would misunderstand."

The air was silent for two seconds.

Xiao Xia then chuckled, "So what if it's a misunderstanding? You'll be single again soon anyway."

But he isn't.

Ji Ying lowered her eyes.

Xiao Xia didn't notice her unusual behavior and changed the subject back to business.

“I watched the press conference live. I really didn’t expect Huang Haoran to take the initiative to stand up and testify against Guo Guqing. Logically speaking, he should be relying on Guo Guqing unless he has found a bigger backer.”

Her tone became more cautious.

“Yingying, it’s not that I’m being paranoid, but the timing is too coincidental. If his purpose is not just Gu Yanchen, you need to be careful.”

Ji Ying's expression also turned serious.

"I've thought about this too. Once my legs are strong enough, I'll go and meet him."

Xiao Xia's eyes darted around, "After your foot heals, will you still associate with that big black rat?"

Ji Ying smiled faintly at her words.

"Don't forget, he has a family. We... are not meant to be."

Inside the Hongqi car at this moment.

Xue Qin glanced at the rearview mirror and turned on some music.

Liang Yizhi snapped out of his daze. "You're in a good mood?"

Xue Qin smiled and said, "It's you who's in a good mood."

Liang Yizhi paused, and the corners of his mouth, which had been slightly upturned, gradually pursed into a straight line.

"How's the investigation into Li Duoyu's identity going?" he asked.
