To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
As they were almost home, Chu Yunxing said in a low voice, "If you need any help, feel free to ask me anytime."
In the early stages of setting up a studio, you will definitely encounter many troubles.
Chu Yunxing also encountered many troubles in the early stages of running the company, so he could naturally understand Song Mai's hardships.
"I definitely will, after all, we're friends who've been through thick and thin together." Song Mai pushed open the door to get out of the car, but Chu Yunxing called her back again.
"Since we're friends, don't call me Master Yun anymore."
Song Mai subconsciously raised an eyebrow: "Then how should I address you?"
"You can call me A-Xing."
Upon hearing this, Song Mai couldn't help but laugh.
"Such an intimate address doesn't suit me." She pondered for a moment, "I'll call you Yunxing instead."
"Alright."
It's better than being called "Master Yun" by a series of distant names.
Song Mai opened the car door and left, just in time to see Ji Fenghe waiting outside.
When Ji Fenghe saw her get out of Chu Yunxing's car, he subconsciously took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and smiled as he went forward to greet her.
Why are you only getting back now?
"Something has come up that I need to discuss with Yunxing."
Hearing Song Mai's address, Ji Fenghe subconsciously frowned: "Yun Xing?"
He turned to look at Chu Yunxing, who had rolled down the car window, and his smile grew increasingly stiff.
"Master Yun, thank you for taking Wan'er home."
"It's nothing, I was just going that way."
The place he lives is not on the way here, but in the opposite direction, hundreds of thousands of miles away.
As Ji Feng watched the car leave, his expression grew increasingly dissatisfied.
"I've called you so many times, why didn't you answer?"
Now that things have come to this, Song Mai is ready to get straight to the point.
She gently pushed open the door, made sure An'an was fast asleep, and then sat down on the sofa with him.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Ji Feng's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile and asked, "No."
This statement made Song Mai even more disappointed.
After so many years together, she realized that she had never truly understood Ji Fenghe.
“We’ve been through thick and thin together for five years, and we’ve talked about almost everything. You’ve never been so secretive before, and you’ve never hidden anything from me like this before.”
The disappointment in Song Mai's eyes and tone was almost overflowing.
Ji Feng was anxious to explain, but suddenly realized he didn't know where to begin.
He wasn't sure what Song Mai knew, but he already had a vague sense of unease.
"Wan'er, I really haven't been hiding anything from you. There must be some misunderstanding between us, let's talk it out." Ji Fenghe held her hand, his face full of affection.
"I'll ask you one last time, what are you hiding from me?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Feng and his hand movements stopped in place.
He pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head: "No."
What happened back then must never be revealed. Even if Song Mai is angry about it now, she must never tell the whole story.
At this point, Song Mai had no desire to continue the conversation.
She nodded silently, then got up and went upstairs.
"Wan'er, between you and Chu Yunxing..." He hesitated, not wanting to continue speculating, but a pang of jealousy still rose in his heart.
“There’s nothing between him and me. We were just discussing a collaboration today.” Song Mai stopped what she was doing, slowly turned her head, and glanced sideways. “If there are no problems, I’ll go see An’an first.”
The two parted on bad terms, and Ji Feng's alarm bells rang loudly in his mind.
Could it be that Chu Yunxing already knows that Bai Wan'er is Song Mai?
Having concealed himself for so long without leaving any trace, there was no way he could have known about this.
Could it be that Liu Jia'er slipped up and Chu Yunxing noticed?
After much deliberation, he decided to contact Liu Jiaer that very night.
When Liu Jia'er looked at him with annoyance, Ji Fenghe directly asked, "Have you already told Chu Yunxing about Bai Wan'er?"
Liu Jia'er also looked bewildered: "What are you talking about?"
"There are already some flaws in what happened back then, and Chu Yunxing may have already noticed them. Didn't you say that the DNA testing matter had been taken care of?"
Liu Jia'er, caught off guard by the sudden scolding, was now furious and embarrassed: "I want to ask you the same thing! Is this just my problem? All you do is criticize; haven't you thought about what you've done yourself?"
Ji Feng was speechless, and the two fell into silence.
After a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "We're in the same boat now, we can't afford any more infighting. What we need to do now is to sow discord between the two of them and prevent them from continuing to contact each other."
"Bai Wan'er is about to set up her own studio, are you aware of this?"
"studio?"
Ji Feng looked completely bewildered.
Although he had heard Song Mai mention this before, there had been no progress for quite some time. He had been busy with company matters and hadn't been keeping up with Song Mai's progress.
Could it be that during the time I wasn't paying attention, Chu Yunxing took advantage of the situation and helped Song Mai set up a studio?
Enraged, he got up to leave, when Liu Jiaer's sarcastic voice came from the side.
Are you going to confront Song Mai now?
These words instantly brought him to his senses, and he sighed wearily.
“If I were you, I would pretend I didn’t know anything about this and then enthusiastically plan the studio for her. If she still had any feelings for you, she would feel guilty.”
After saying that, Liu Jiaer smiled sarcastically: "But her feelings for you are all out of gratitude, so I'm sure you won't get any apologies for doing this."
“Fine, if that’s the case, neither of us will interfere. Let them recognize each other and fall in love.” Ji Feng and Po Guanzi glared at her with a defiant attitude and sat down.
Liu Jia'er's mockery remained undiminished as she calmly said, "It's actually quite simple. After all, Song Mai has lost her previous memories. All you need to do is instill in her the idea that Chu Yunxing is her enemy, and everything will be fine."
"How is that possible?"
“Song Mai’s biggest concern right now is her precious daughter. If Chu Yunxing takes her daughter into his home at this time, and she subconsciously thinks that her daughter has been kidnapped… tsk tsk tsk.”
They didn't say anything more, but the two of them could already imagine what would happen next.
Ji Fenghe narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will plan this, but I will need your help."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The two hit it off immediately and went home.
Song Mai lay in bed, looking at An An sleeping soundly beside her, feeling uneasy.
She felt that what she was doing was very strange, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what was wrong; she just felt extremely depressed.
