Chapter 45 Deliberate

After the court session, I returned to the law firm and received a call from Shi Chenrui.

Yu Nian looked at the caller ID without surprise, and answered after a few seconds, "Lawyer Shi."

Shi Chenrui's tone no longer had the arrogance of yesterday, and his words were slightly humbled.

"Lawyer Yu, I was too excited yesterday. If you have time one day, I will treat you to a meal as an apology."

After meeting with Yu Nian yesterday afternoon, he didn't take her words to heart until he received a call from Hong Tao early this morning. A project that was sure to be completed was suddenly snatched away. If not handled properly, the company's assets would lose at least half.

What’s more serious is that if the capital chain is broken, there is a high possibility of bankruptcy.

The project was snatched away for no apparent reason, so he must have offended someone. After many twists and turns, Hong Tao finally realized who he had offended. He called the company trembling with fear, and it was Li Ming who answered the phone. He relayed Mr. Ji's original words to Hong Tao:

"Most divorce cases are about property. If there is no property, then there is no need to fight for it?"

A clean and decisive bandit style.

This sentence instantly woke Hong Tao up. He asked someone to investigate Yu Nian's background, and only then did he realize how powerful a person he had offended was.

Not to mention the Ji family, even the Yu family is not someone he can afford to offend.

What's more, the two are now in-laws.

He offended two families at once.

Hong Tao immediately called Shi Chenrui and asked him to make arrangements so that he could apologize to Yu Nian in person.

Yu Nian figured out the twists and turns quickly. She took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "No need to have a meal. Lawyer Shi, please help me make a phone call and ask those who are blocking my procedures to give me some face."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Nian threw the phone on the desk, raised his hand tiredly to rub his solar plexus, thought for a while, and sent a text message to Ji Yanxing.

Yu Nian: [Are you working overtime tonight?] He helped her, and to show her sincerity, Yu Nian planned to cook him a meal herself.

When she was abroad, she occasionally cooked by herself. Although her cooking skills were not very good, the food was still edible.

Ji Yanxing: [Not added.]

Immediately afterwards, he sent another message: [Jiang Yichen’s birthday party tonight, you must accompany me.]

Yu Nian thought about how Jiang Yichen called last night and said he wanted to celebrate his birthday. In that case, she would cook for him next time.

Yu Nian: [How long do you play?]

Ji Yanxing: [About two or three days.]

Yu Nian: [Okay, I’ll call you when I’m done here.] Ji Yanxing: [Yes.]

In the following time, Yu Nian devoted herself to work and finished processing the urgent materials first. It was almost six o'clock when she finished. When she sent a text message to Ji Yanxing, Ji Yanxing's car had just arrived downstairs of the law firm. She quickly packed her bag and took the elevator downstairs.

Somehow, as soon as she saw him, she thought of what happened last night and was a little afraid to look him in the eye.

I am even more afraid to hear him say those nonsense words regardless of the food or the environment.

Before getting married, she thought he would be just like she imagined, a cool, noble and modest gentleman. But once they met, she realized it was all a filter.

When he talks in bed, he is as bad as a gangster.

Ji Yanxing was reading a document. He caught a glimpse of her looking at him strangely. The corners of her mouth raised and she suddenly said, "What are you thinking about?"

Yu Nian suddenly came back to his senses, "I didn't think about anything."

Ji Yanxing licked his lips and said in a playful tone, "I thought you were reminiscing about last night."

Yu Nian: “I didn’t!”

Ji Yanxing clicked his tongue: "It's just talk, why are you so angry?"

“…”

Can he read minds?

How can you guess what she is thinking?

Yu Nian's eyelashes fluttered, but he still refused to admit it: "I didn't."

Ji Yanxing's eyes fell on her ears and he smiled nonchalantly: "Your ears are red again."

Yu Nian subconsciously touched his ear, then realized that he had confessed, and immediately glared at him resentfully, "I want to rest, don't pay attention to me."

After saying that, she leaned towards the car door, crossed her hands, closed her eyes and rested, with a cold look on her face. Ji Yanxing stared at her with amusement for a few seconds, then returned his gaze to the document.

After going to bed late and getting up early and being busy all day, Yu Nian soon fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because he teased her before going to bed, Yu Nian dreamed about last night, and the scene was even more erotic than last night.

He was wearing a neat black suit, looking dignified and cool as if he was attending a shareholders' meeting. He didn't speak professional terms from work, but rather nonsense that made people blush.

But his tone is more serious than anyone else's.

He deliberately tortured her, his movements were slow and grinding.

Yu Nian’s body shook violently.

She woke up.

It was pitch black outside the car window. Yu Nian's heart was pounding, and he hadn't yet recovered from the scene in his dream.

How could she have such a dream!

I'm going to die!

"Awake?" Ji Yanxing put down the document and looked at her.

Yu Nian raised her eyelids to look at him. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, the same as he had worn in her dream.

Looks just as abstinent and cold.

Yu Nian closed his eyes, looked away, and responded, "Yeah."

The light in the car was dim, and Ji Yanxing could not see her slightly flushed cheeks. He handed the document to Ji Ming and said calmly, "Get out of the car." Yu Nian sat up straight: "Are we there yet?"

"Um."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes and snorted softly: "How dare I."

“…”

Yu Nian is grumpy when she wakes up. Once, when Ji Yanxing woke her up, she would always yell at him in a very harsh tone, asking him to stop bothering her.

Thinking of this, Yu Nian touched his nose awkwardly, "I didn't mean it."

Ji Yanxing ignored her, opened the car door and got out.

Yu Nian followed him out of the car. Jiang Yichen liked to be lively, so he invited many people to the birthday party. When they arrived, almost everyone was there. Yu Nian looked around and found that only a few people she knew.

"You're finally here!" Jiang Yichen broke away from the crowd and walked towards this side with a glass of wine in hand.

The others also looked in the direction he was going. The woman behind Jiang Yichen walked faster than him and "flashed" in front of Yu Nian, introducing herself with a smile: "Sister-in-law! My name is Qiu Shuning, and I'm also your husband's childhood friend. I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally see you alive!"

"Get out of here, do you know how to talk?" Jiang Yichen pushed her aside and said to Yu Nian with a smile, "Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday, sister-in-law, you can have fun. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!"

Qiu Shuning: "...You're not any better than me."

Yu Nian: "..."

The last time they met, Ji Yanxing's friends were very enthusiastic towards her. Yu Nian smiled lightly and said sincerely, "Happy birthday."

Jiang Yichen: "Thank you, sister-in-law! We caught a lot of fish today, and we're waiting for you to come and grill them together."

Yu Nian looked at Ji Yanxing, who put his arm around her waist and said, "Let's go."

"Um."

I don’t know what the custom is, but instead of eating cake at birthday parties, they eat grilled fish. They set up several barbecue grills on the deck of the cruise ship and gathered around them.
