Chapter 5 When the Playboy Turns Over a New Leaf

Ji's mother also liked this girl quite a bit.

It's mainly because her son likes it; she loves everything about him because of him.

They had a good impression of the girl in person. Although her family background was indeed unacceptable, the Ji family did not need a family marriage alliance.

Liao Zhuxin was surprised to hear what Ji's mother said. Did he like her a lot?

So much has happened today, it feels like a dream to her.

"I didn't have time to prepare a gift for our first meeting. It's Huaizhi's fault. Tomorrow I'll transfer a property and a car to you. Consider this my gift as your older brother for our first meeting."

"Take it if I leave it for you. Now that I've accepted it, you should change your tune," Ji Huaizhi said calmly.

Liao Zhuxin glanced at him and noticed a slight smile in his eyes.

Are you happy to marry yourself?

"Mom and Dad, older brother."

Liao Zhuxin's voice was like a clear mountain spring flowing gently, capable of dispelling the worries in one's heart.

Everyone nodded. No matter what, Liao Zhuxin was now Huaizhi's wife.

Now that you're married, you should live your life well together.

"Your father and I will make the arrangements for the wedding. You can just attend. I'll check the date tomorrow."

Ji Huaizhi did not refuse: "Let's eat."

He first put a piece of fish on Zhu Xin's plate.

Liao Zhuxin whispered a thank you.

She also noticed that all the dishes on the table were her favorites, and although she was a little puzzled, she didn't think much of it.

After all, Ji Huaizhi didn't even know he was allergic to shrimp, so how could he remember what he liked to eat?

"Hey, Aunt Zhang, didn't you say you'd airfreighted some shrimp today? Why haven't you cooked them? Shrimp should be eaten fresh," Mrs. Ji asked, puzzled.

"It's like this, Madam. The Second Young Master said that the Second Young Madam is allergic to shrimp, so I didn't make any. However, I prepared a shrimp soup for you and your husband."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang went to serve the dishes.

Everyone at the table looked at Ji Huaizhi in surprise.

I never expected him to be so thoughtful.

Liao Zhuxin was also somewhat troubled, as he remembered that he was allergic to shrimp.

His gaze fell on the food on the table. Was this also what he ordered?

"I was wondering why the food was a little different from usual today. I wonder if my little brother remembers what I, as his older brother, like to eat?" Ji Yanzhi teased him.

After all, this younger brother didn't remember any of these things before.

As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters.

“You like crabs, but you don’t like peeling them; you like sweet things but hate garlic,” Ji Huaizhi said easily.

However, you can see that the tips of his ears are a little red.

"You really remember? You used to make me eat garlic all the time?" Ji Yanzhi was delighted.

He knew his younger brother was just a bit mischievous, but he still remembered him as his older brother.

"I thought you only remembered that the club in Y City was fun and that the drinks there were good," Father Ji sneered.

Ji Huaizhi said proudly, "I remember too. I also know that the girls at that private club are pretty."

Everyone looked up at Liao Zhuxin and criticized Ji Huaizhi.

"They're married and still don't know how to behave properly."

Ji's mother turned to Zhu Xin and said, "He likes to say the opposite of what he means and do things we hate to get our attention. Before, he tore up his brother's homework so that his brother would play with him."

"She even hid her brother's schoolbag and pretended not to know."

"Do you think he's a sly devil?"

Ji's mother's words reminded everyone of the foolish things Ji Huaizhi did when he was a child.

Liao Zhuxin found it amusing after hearing this, and then she thought about what he had said to her earlier that day.

Did he do those things and say those things on purpose?

Is it just to see if I care about him?

Seeing Liao Zhuxin looking at him with a smile, Ji Huaizhi pretended to be fierce: "What are you laughing at? Be careful or I'll beat you up?"

But Liao Zhuxin chuckled when she saw his bright red ear tips.

He seems more vibrant like this.

She used to think there was an insurmountable gap between them, but now she feels there are many misunderstandings between them, and he is not as he appears.

Ji Huaizhi noticed that the people around him were no longer depressed, and their eyes had regained their former liveliness.

The sorrow in his eyes had also faded considerably.

Her depression was caused by the original owner of the body, and now she is dispelling it herself.

After dinner, the family sat in the living room chatting, and the servants brought out a lot of snacks and dried fruits suitable for pregnant women.

"I heard you're pregnant now, is that right?" Mrs. Ji asked cautiously.

She didn't dare say much, afraid that the girl would overthink things.

The first thing she noticed about this girl was the deep sorrow in her eyes, and she wondered if it was because she didn't want to marry Huaizhi.

Therefore, Ji's mother could only cautiously probe the issue.

Liao Zhuxin felt a sense of wonder when she thought about the child in her belly: "Yes, it's been more than a month, but it's still too early. The doctor said to go back for a check-up at the end of the month."

Seeing her gentle expression, I knew she wanted this child. No wonder Huaizhi said she wouldn't have married him if it weren't for this child.

"If you have a family doctor at home, you don't need to go to the hospital by yourself."

Thinking that she was also at the age to become a mother-in-law, Ji's mother sighed and said, "Then the wedding should be set for two months from now. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient when you are pregnant, and it will not be good for you to have the wedding after the baby is born."

Liao Zhuxin didn't understand, thinking that these elders all knew.

"Are you working now?" Mrs. Ji asked.

She wanted to suggest that it was best not to go to work, since she was still in the early stages of pregnancy and could go directly to work at Ji's company after giving birth, but she was hesitant to bring it up.

"I haven't had anything since I graduated..." Liao Zhuxin looked at Ji Huaizhi.

Ji Huaizhi: "Why should I go to work? It's not like I can't afford to support you."

Yes, after Liao Zhuxin graduated, the original owner of the body wouldn't let her work anymore. She used to have excellent grades and achieved good results during her internship.

However, the original owner felt that she had embarrassed herself by going to work, and also felt that she was too busy at work and could not be available whenever she was called.

So they stopped letting her go to work.

"You child." Looking at Liao Zhuxin's expression, Ji's mother understood perfectly well that she had been forced into this situation.

She was clearly unhappy, but she could tell.

The child still harbors feelings for Huaizhi.

"Which school did you graduate from? What was your major?" Mr. Ji was a little unhappy to hear that she wasn't working, after all, he still liked ambitious children.

Ji Huaizhi was an accident; he was never going to amount to anything.

They've given up on him.

"A top student from Y University, a brilliant woman majoring in finance, who is also very knowledgeable in marketing, economics, and international business," Ji Huaizhi casually remarked.

It seems like they know Liao Zhuxin very well.

"Like her older brother, she's a top student, and can be considered his junior sister."

Ji Yanzhi was surprised: "Then your sister-in-law is very outstanding. She can come to Ji's Group to develop her career. We're all family."

He was also willing to promote him.

Ji's father's impression of her improved a lot: "If you have any questions in the future, you can ask your older brother. When the baby is born, you can decide whether you want to continue your studies or work in the company."

He exchanged a glance with his wife; Huaizhi was incredibly lucky.

Mother Ji was also happy: "Yes, it's all this brat's fault for keeping you waiting so long."

“From now on, you can do whatever you want at home, and you don’t need to worry about Huaizhi. There are people to take care of the children. Your dad and I are more relaxed now, so we can take care of them too.”

Ji Huaizhi was unhappy: "She can stay at home. She just doesn't work, but she taught herself foreign languages ​​and literature after graduation. Isn't it good for her to do translations at home sometimes?"

"You know?" Liao Zhuxin asked in surprise.

Ji's mother is now extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Although she comes from a poor family, she is an outstanding person.

No wonder her son kept her hidden away.

Not only did Ji's mother think so, but even Ji's elder brother and father thought so too: This bastard is deliberately hiding the girl, isn't he?

This is something he's really capable of doing.

Both of them stayed at the Ji family's house today.

Ji Huaizhi went to the study to talk to his father and elder brother, while Liao Zhuxin went back to her room first.

She initially thought the room was a guest room, but it turned out to be Huaizhi's room. At this point, she felt a bit full and had taken a nap in the afternoon, so she was feeling more energetic.

A person looked around the room.

There were many models on the wall, and there were also photos of Ji Huaizhi when he was young on the table.

Back then, he looked unruly and full of youthful energy.

There's also a photo of him and his older brother. Ji Yanzhi is wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and humble.

Ji Huaizhi, on the other hand, was wearing a jersey, holding a basketball, and had a headband on his head.

She even wore a flashy earring.

Liao Zhuxin chuckled and touched the photo of Ji Huaizhi with her fingers.

He's still just as arrogant as ever.

Looking towards the bedside, I noticed a notebook on the bedside table...
