Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 279 Dare not speak

Ji Wan looked up at the sky and asked, "But why is Chi Lin here?"

Sun Tian curled her lips and said, "The project their group is inspecting is nearby. I guess they saw our car and followed us on purpose. That guy is such a jerk, he keeps haunting us."

Ji Wan looked gloomy, and Chi Lin's annoying face appeared in his mind.

Every time I see him, nothing good happens.

She felt a surge of annoyance, but she didn't want to let this emotion affect her too much.

"Forget it, let's ignore him. Today's inspection will be over soon. Tiantian, let's go relax." Ji Wan said, putting his arm around Sun Tian's shoulders.

Sun Tian's eyes lit up and she asked, "Where is Sister Wan going?"

Ji Wan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to a nearby pub for a drink. I haven't had a drink in a while."

"Then you can only drink some sake, Sister Wan, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it." Sun Tian reminded.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ji Wan smiled.

After the inspection, since the place was located in the suburbs of Beijing, we simply went to a nearby pub for a drink. The pub didn't look big, but the decoration was very unique. The wooden sign swayed gently in the wind, making a slight creaking sound.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the faint aroma of wine and the unique scent of wooden furniture.

Ji Wan and Sun Tian found a seat by the window and sat down. The waiter brought the menu.

Ji Wan casually ordered a few glasses of specialty wine. After a while, the wine was served. He picked up the glass and took a sip. The spiciness of the wine spread on the tip of his tongue, followed by a mellow aroma.

"Sister Wan, why does Chi Lin always pester you? Does he have any intentions or dirty thoughts?" Sun Tian asked with a frown.

Ji Wan gently swirled his wine glass, looked at the amber liquid inside, and said slowly, "Who knows him? Maybe he's just bored and wants to have some fun. But if he continues to be so ignorant, I won't be polite."

Sun Tian nodded, "That's right, Sister Wan, you can't be too soft-hearted. That guy looks like he has bad intentions."

The two drank and chatted.

At this time, in the backstage of the tavern, Chi Wenyan was busy moving materials. Boxes of wine and ingredients were piled up like a mountain. He was wearing a mask and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Ji Wan took a few sips of wine and felt a little more relaxed. Looking at the street scene outside the window, with people coming and going and the hustle and bustle of traffic, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.

Although I always have to face all kinds of troublesome people and things outside, I feel that I can relax and be quiet for a while after drinking.

Seeing Ji Wan was lost in thought, Sun Tian patted her hand gently and said, "Sister Wan, what are you thinking about? Are you still worried about Mr. Chi? Don't worry, you will find him eventually."

Ji Wan came back to his senses and smiled, "No, I was just thinking that life is like this sometimes. There will always be some small episodes. We just have to muddle through. As long as we are happy, that's all that matters."

"Yes, Sister Wan, forget about those troubles. Let's drink and relax today." Sun Tian said.

The two continued to drink, and the sound of their conversation echoed softly in the pub.

After a few drinks, Ji Wan felt a little urgent, so he got up and walked towards the bathroom.

The pub's bathroom is at the end of the corridor and the lighting is dim.

As Ji Wan walked to the bathroom door, he saw a figure walking out.

The man was wearing a dust mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyebrows and eyes. Ji Wan glanced at him inadvertently, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

She paused involuntarily, and something seemed to flash through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

At that moment, Ji Wan was a little dazed, just standing there in a daze. Until the person walked past her, the breeze brought her back to her senses.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an irrepressible excitement surged in her heart. Could it be him? As soon as this thought came into her mind, it grew wildly like weeds.

Ji Wan quickly turned around and chased in the direction the figure left.

In a corner of the tavern, an employee who looked similar to Chi Wenyan was busy packing up.

"Wen Yan!" Ji Wan's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement and excitement.

However, when the employee raised his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression, Ji Wan suddenly woke up from her dream. The smile on her face froze instantly, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Ji Wan's voice was low, his face turned pale, and he stood there blankly as if he had lost his soul.

"Miss, are you okay? Do you need to sit down and rest for a while, or do you need me to call the emergency number for you?"

When the clerk saw Ji Wan like this, he was scared out of his wits.

"I, I'm fine." Ji Wan smiled and turned to leave.

Sun Tian waited in her seat for a long time, but when Ji Wan didn't come back, she got up and went to look for him.

When he saw Ji Wan standing in the corner in a daze, he was shocked and hurried over.

"Sister Wan, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Sun Tian asked with concern.

Ji Wan slowly raised his head and looked at Sun Tian, tears glistening in his eyes.

She shook her head gently, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's nothing, I just recognized the wrong person." After that, she let Sun Tian help her back to her seat.

The two sat down again, but Ji Wan's mind was no longer on drinking and chatting.

After a moment, Ji Wan chuckled and said to Sun Tian with a wry smile, "Look at me now. When did I become as sentimental as Lin Daiyu?" After saying that, she shook her head gently, picked up the glass of wine and took a sip.

"Just now you were saying that life is full of little incidents and we should just muddle through. Why are we so bogged down by it?" Ji Wan patted his face, changed the subject, looked at Sun Tian and asked, "When do you and Feng Hao plan to get married?" Sun Tian was slightly startled after hearing what Ji Wan said.

After what happened to Sister Wan, Ji Wan would definitely feel bad if he held a grand wedding at this time.

So he smiled and said, "Well, it's still too early to get married. It won't be too late to get married in a few years."

Ji Wan was so smart that he could tell at a glance that Sun Tian made this decision because of him.

She reached out, held Sun Tian's hand tightly, and smiled, "Tiantian, you don't have to be like this. I know you're thinking about me, but your and Fenghao's happiness shouldn't be put on hold because of me. You have your own lives. Although I'm not in a good state right now, I also hope that you can be happy. You don't have to worry about me, really."

"Sister Wan." Sun Tian's voice was a little choked. Sister Wan always thought about others in this way. It was the same when she was in Yucheng and in Kyoto. Why couldn't God be kind to good people and let Sister Ji go through this.
