Chapter 81 Angry

The phone rang again. Ji Yanxing frowned, his eyes showing annoyance and a bit of hostility. He was about to hang up the phone, but when he glanced at the caller ID, he sneered and clicked to answer it.

Ji Feihe's voice came: "Brother, I heard that you returned to China. You came back before you finished dealing with the matter in Australia. This is not like your style."

Ji Yan walked to the study. There was no light on inside. Only the warm yellow light from the corridor shone in. The flickering light fell on his face.

Ji Yanxing lit a cigarette, his thin lips pursed with a sneer: "Ji Feihe, how many lives do you have? Who gave you the courage to go find her?"

"You sent An Sisi to a place where I can't find her. I'm no match for you in the business world, so I'll naturally vent my anger in other ways."

Ji Feihe said in a gloating tone, "Sister-in-law is very angry, right? Why? Has she decided not to have you anymore?"

She doesn't want him anymore?

Ji Yanxing's pupils suddenly narrowed, and a hint of darkness emerged in his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, you finally get loved for once," Ji Feihe sighed, "When my sister-in-law saw the photo of you and Meng Ziyun together, your pitiful, sad and forbearing expression made me feel a little distressed."

Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes and looked at the burning scarlet on his fingertips. "You reminded me that I only promised An Sisi to help her get rid of you, but I didn't promise her to give her a stable life."

Ji Feihe understood the warning in his words and instantly became angry: "Ji Yanxing! Are you still a human being?"

Ji Yanxing said casually, "Whether An Sisi is dead or alive is not within my consideration. I helped her get rid of you because she traded with me for something of equal value. Have I been too kind in the past few years, so you have the guts to say irresponsible things in front of her? I didn't kill you only because the old lady is still alive. If you interfere in my affairs again, even if the old man is resurrected, he won't be able to keep your body intact."

"you......"

Ji Yanxing closed his eyes. The cigarette had burned to the end, but he did not put it out. He felt the burning heat of the fire on his fingertips and said indifferently: "Remember, people will not care about other people's affairs only when they are comfortable."

In other words, if he is unhappy, no one will be happy.

After saying that, without waiting for a response from the other end, he hung up the phone and threw it on the table.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the burnt cigarette butt. He extinguished it and threw it into the ashtray. In the silent study, Ji Feihe's mocking words flashed through his mind - "When my sister-in-law saw the photo of you and Meng Ziyun together, her pitiful, sad and forbearing expression made me feel a little distressed."

He raised his hand and pressed his heart to relieve the suffocation in his chest.

Yu Nian took a shower and came out of the bathroom about half an hour later. She saw Ji Yanxing in the bedroom at a glance. He was holding a hair dryer in his hand, waiting for her quietly.

He would do this every time they had an argument, as a signal for him to bow his head.

"Give it to me." Yu Nian said to him calmly. The light in the bedroom was bright, illuminating her calm and cold face.

Ji Yanxing took a deep breath and said, "I'll blow it for you."

Yu Nian walked up to him, took the hair dryer from him, and said calmly: "No, I can do it myself."

Ji Yanxing looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then gave her the hair dryer. Keeping her hair wet for a long time would cause her to catch a cold.

After Yu Nian blew his hair until it was 80% dry, he turned off the hair dryer and walked towards the bed.

As expected, Ji Yanxing grabbed her arm and looked down at her, "Let's talk."

Yu Nian pulled his hand away, walked to the bed and sat down, looking up at him, "You say."

Ji Yanxing looked at her pulling her wrist away without hesitation, and his brows sank.

Standing and sitting, he looked down at her, "Did Ji Feihe look for you?"

Yu Nian was not surprised that he knew about this, and hummed, "He showed me a few photos of you and Meng Ziyun in the same frame."

"This is what happened—" Ji Yanxing squatted down in front of her, putting her in an objectively superior position. He looked up at her, "The Qingqing that Meng Ziyun mentioned on the phone just now is her sister. She was my classmate when I was studying abroad. I told you before that I owe her a favor, or to be more precise, half my life."

Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at him with a dazed look in her eyes. Ji Yanxing's voice slowed down, and he said calmly: "I had a car accident at the beginning, and Meng Qing stayed in the hospital for eight years to save me. Two years ago, the doctor said that she showed signs of waking up, so I had contact with her. That's why I went to the hospital to see her and met Meng Ziyun."

"She woke up recently. Meng Ziyun is her only relative and is accompanying her for rehabilitation treatment. During this period, I have not done anything to betray you or our marriage." When he said this, his eyes were always on her expression.

A moment of silence.

"Okay, I understand." Yu Nian closed his eyes, with nothing but deep sleepiness and fatigue between his brows. "You must be very tired after sitting on the plane and car for such a long time. Go take a shower and have a good rest tonight."

After saying that, she threw back the quilt and prepared to go to bed.

Ji Yanxing frowned and subconsciously grabbed her wrist to stop her movements.

Yu Nian paused, lowered his eyes to look at the hand he was holding, and whispered: "If you don't want to rest and want to see your friends, just go directly, don't tell me."

Anyway, I have never told her about it before.

"Yu Nian." He narrowed his eyes and called her name in a deep voice.

Yu Nian heard the warning in his tone and didn't understand why he was angry, so he had to make his words clearer: "I've been very tired these past two days, and my mind is very confused. I need to calm down and think carefully."

"What are you thinking about?" The warm yellow light softened her eyebrows and eyes. Her face and voice were very gentle, or rather, calm. It was hard to believe that anything could have made her so emotional.

Yu Nian raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a very light voice: "I wonder if our relationship still needs to continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the bedroom suddenly dropped to freezing point. Ji Yanxing's eyes darkened instantly, and the force of his grip on her wrist bone tightened uncontrollably, causing Yu Nian to hiss in pain. He immediately let go and asked, "What did you say?"

Yu Nian pulled her wrist out of his hand and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I just have this idea for now. As for the conclusion, let me think about it for a few more days."

Actually, it's not a big deal.

Ji Yanxing was not cheating on her, and she believed what he said, that he had no romantic feelings for them and had never done anything to betray their marriage.

However, the phone call Meng Ziyun made to her tonight made her even more certain that such things had happened countless times in the past, which was why Meng Ziyun was habitually dependent on him and would turn to him for help as soon as an accident occurred.

Also because he had helped her countless times on such occasions.

At least it's definitely not just a one-way request for help.
