Chapter 160 I personally cut off all her unwanted suitors before getting the divorce certificate (Part 3)

Liang Yizhi's gaze lingered in that direction for two seconds before he smiled faintly and said, "Then I've eaten raw meat in the jungle, without washing it. Can I compare to you?"

Ji Ying was stunned by his words.

Liang Yizhi's smile widened, "This fried rice smells so good, why are we having a competition to see who's more 'wild'?"

This meal was served without the waiters from Langgan Pavilion dressed in brocade robes, nor with gold-rimmed plates and bowls.

But he even finished the pickled vegetables that the boss gave him.

Ji Ying should have been in a bad mood, but after the meal, her mood calmed down.

Afterwards, Liang Yizhi dropped her off at the entrance of the residential area, but she did not get out of the car immediately.

"What, you're reluctant to part with me?" he asked half-jokingly.

Ji Ying was a little embarrassed. "Could you take me back to the Half-Mountain Restaurant? My car is still parked there."

She shook the car keys in her hand.

Liang Yizhi, however, took the key away.

I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.

“But…” Ji Ying hesitated, “I haven’t thought it through yet.”

Liang Yizhi smiled faintly, "Can't we even be friends?"

He was composed, and his tone showed no trace of the oppressive air that came with his status.

Ji Ying looked at him, a slight stirring in her heart.

From the very first time they met, he gave her plenty of room to choose, and he still does now.

His high position yet respectful demeanor is hard not to attract women.

"Well... see you tomorrow."

She lowered her head and got out of the car, and Liang Yizhi grabbed her hand.

It was very light, but the force was enough to make Ji Ying stop.

The man looked at her with sincere eyes: "I assure you, I will handle my matter. What about yours?"

Is it about divorcing Gu Yanchen?

Ji Ying was a little flustered. "It should be soon."

After saying that, she pulled her hand away and quickly walked into the residential area.

Only after her figure disappeared behind the porch did Liang Yizhi start the car and slowly drive away.

Not far away, a Maybach was parked silently in the shade of a sycamore tree.

Gu Yan sat calmly in the car, a long ash accumulated on the cigarette between his fingers.

He saw the whole scene through the car window.

The blush on Ji Ying's face stung his eyes.

His taut jawline was reflected in the car window; a cold silence filled the interior…

The next day, fearing that Liang Yizhi would arrive too early, Ji Ying got up half an hour earlier than usual, washed up, and waited for his call.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

She grabbed her bag, opened the door, and found Gu Yanchen standing there.

Ji Ying's smile froze.

"What, you can't smile anymore now that you see me?"

Ji Ying instinctively tried to close the door, but he reached out to stop it, squeezed in from the side, and got close to her.

Ji Ying stumbled backward, bumping into the sofa and about to fall.

Gu Yanchen strode up to her and pulled her into his arms.

However, his ultimate goal was not to help her stand up, but to hold her tightly around the waist and fall into the sofa with her.

Ji Ying struggled in panic, but he pressed down on her shoulder with one hand and suddenly lifted up her trouser leg with the other.

"No, let me go!"

Ji Ying was so frightened that she punched and kicked him without holding back.

Gu Yanchen was distracted for a moment and got punched in the face.

However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he pressed her hands down and whispered, "Be good, don't move. Let me see where you fell yesterday."

Ji Ying's eyelashes glistened slightly as she gritted her teeth and said, "So early, instead of sleeping with your sister, what kind of good person are you pretending to be here? You're disgusting, let me go!"

Gu Yanchen laughed at her last sentence, "Jealous?"

You can't communicate with someone who's mentally ill.

Ji Ying turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Gu Yanchen turned her face towards him, forcing her to look at him.

"Do you like Liang Yizhi?" His gaze was gentle, but his voice was cold.

Unable to shake off his hand, Ji Ying forced out four words through gritted teeth, "None of your business!"

Gu Yanchen's voice grew even colder, "As far as I know, he is married."

Ji Ying said angrily, "That's perfect! Being with him means no burden for either of us!"

"Ji Ying!"

He gripped her cheeks tighter, his eyes swirling with suppressed pain.

"You know everything, why can't you give me a little more time? How could he possibly know you better than me, or care about you more than I do?"

"What do I know?" Ji Ying retorted with difficulty. "What I know is that you have repeatedly hurt me because of others. Gu Yanchen, I must have been blind to like you. Now I hate you, I wish you would disappear immediately!"

Gu Yanchen suddenly stopped.

So that's how much she hated herself; the opposite of hate is love!

After a moment, the anger in his eyes faded, he released her hand, and even carefully helped her sit down.

"You still like me, don't you?"

Ji Ying huddled on the sofa, looking away, and didn't answer him.

Gu Yanchen laughed, "My Yingying wouldn't do anything foolish. You hate me for choosing others every time and hurting you, so you used Liang Yi to spite me. As long as I handle everything properly, you'll come back to me, right?"

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

This time, it must be Liang Yizhi.

Because her phone was on vibrate, he called her several times, but she didn't answer, so he was determined to come up and check on her in person.

Ji Ying immediately got up to open the door, but Gu Yanchen grabbed her arm.

"Think about what you're really thinking about, and then think carefully about whether you want to open the door!"

Ji Ying was stunned by his words.

So he came to her today to complete some paperwork?

Outside the door, Liang Yizhi waited for about ten seconds, but there was no movement from inside.

Just as he was about to call someone to handle the situation, the door suddenly opened a crack.

“Mr. Liang,” Gu Yanchen said, his clothes disheveled and his eyes full of mockery, “it’s so early. My wife is still sleeping. Do you need to see her?”

Liang Yizhi concealed the surprise in her eyes and looked at him calmly, "What did you do to her?"

Gu Yanchen laughed and said, "She's my wife. I cherish her more than anything. Why would I do anything to her? It's inappropriate for a married man like you to be so concerned about someone else's wife."

Liang Yizhi remained unmoved, his gaze calm. "Let her come out and speak."

The two men met through a crack in the door, their eyes clashing, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gu Yanchen smiled.

The crack in the door widened slightly, and he stepped aside to make room, revealing Ji Ying's figure. She

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and her clothes... were very wrinkled.

The traces of that struggle, in Liang Yizhi's eyes, might take on a different meaning.

But Ji Ying has no way to explain it to him right now.

“Mr. Liang, you should go back first... My husband is here, and my affairs are none of your business.”

Liang Yizhi suppressed all the turmoil in his eyes.

"Are you really alright?" he still asked, worried.

"It's nothing," Ji Ying said with surprising calm.

"Sorry to bother you."

There were no questions, nor did they linger.

He turned and walked towards the elevator, his back view perfectly composed.

After closing the door, Ji Ying suppressed her emotions and said to Gu Yanchen, "Are you satisfied now?"

Gu Yanchen stroked her face. "Of course."

A proud man like Liang Yizhi, after being humiliated like this, would never turn back.

Even if he and Ji Ying had some affection for each other, that affection should now be completely crushed and vanished.

Gu Yanchen wanted to personally sever all her romantic entanglements, leaving only himself as her sole focus.

However, Ji Ying pushed him away and said with suppressed emotion, "Can we go now?"
