Chapter 7 Bad Dad 7

After returning home, Wei Wei didn't sleep. She sat on the sofa wearing only a thin nightgown.

Hearing the noise at the door, she rushed over with concern and helped him take off his coat: "Why are you so late?"

"I'm quite busy handling business at the company."

"Then you should take care of yourself too." Wei Wei checked his coat for stains and perfume scents.

Ji Huaizhi pretended not to see it.

Relieved that nothing was wrong, Wei Wei said, "I made some soup. Would you like some before you go to sleep?"

"No, is the child asleep?" Ji Huaizhi poured himself a glass of warm water.

"She's asleep. Before she went to sleep, she asked when you were coming back and said she wanted to wait for you with me, so I let her go to sleep first." Wei Wei chuckled, "The child is growing a lot right now."

Ji Huaizhi frowned: "I'm asking about Qinqin."

Wei Wei paused for a moment, then replied without changing her expression, "I slept. I only came out once in the middle of the night."

"I didn't even ask when you'd be back."

Ji Huaizhi's expression softened considerably: "She messaged me. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

Wei Wei's expression was unpleasant, and she didn't notice that he suddenly turned around, almost making him notice her face.

"Oh, right, make some of Qinqin's favorite dishes tomorrow; she loves seafood." Then, remembering something, he waved his hand.

"Never mind, she's just recovered from a cold, so this isn't suitable. Just make something light."

Wei Wei gripped Ji Huaizhi's coat tightly, her manicured nails digging into her flesh: "I understand."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

She stood in the living room for a while before looking up when she heard the mocking voice.

I saw Ji Fangqin with her hair down, wearing pajamas, staring at me for who knows how long.

That look seemed to say: My dad probably doesn't like you that much either.

It's extremely bright.

As she entered the bedroom, she heard the sound of water running from the bathroom. Wei Wei was radiating displeasure. She glanced at her phone on the cabinet and then at the bathroom.

Once I was sure he wouldn't come out anytime soon, I walked over.

I checked the message page and found nothing, then I looked through the recent call logs.

He spoke with Xiang Nuan on the phone not long ago.

Upon seeing the record, her hands clenched tightly again.

Men are never honest; she has to keep a close eye on them.

And the female assistant who answered his phone.

Wei Wei put the phone back in its place, and soon the man came out wearing a bathrobe and with wet hair.

"Honey~" Wei Wei lowered her voice: "When I called you today, a girl answered. Was she your assistant?"

"Mm," Ji Huaizhi responded softly.

"She's quite young. Girls like that usually don't have their minds on work, right?" Wei Wei said, making a pointed remark.

Her fingernails gently scraped his back.

“She’s very professional and a top student; she wouldn’t be interested in a married man.”

Ji Huaizhi's words made her face turn ashen: "What do you mean by that?"

She stood up angrily: "You weren't like this before. Does this mean you no longer cherish what you've got?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Huaizhi turned around, then suddenly realized, "You're being too sensitive. I'm already married to you, why are you overthinking things?"

Wei Wei softened her voice: "I just feel uncomfortable, please don't say things like that anymore."

Then she pressed her whole body against him: "Honey~ Why do I feel like you're being particularly cold to me today?"

"Are you regretting it?"

Ji Huaizhi took the phone and held it up; the warmth in his eyes was gone.

“Wei Wei, I’m a man. Sometimes I can’t help but flirt with others when I’m out. Are you sure you want to keep sneaking peeks at my phone and smelling my perfume every day?” Ji Huaizhi held up his phone and looked at her.

"And which successful man doesn't have many mistresses outside?"

Wei Wei's eyes instantly reddened, and a tear landed directly on his hand: "Husband, are you tired of me?"

"Or do you regret marrying me?"

Her voice was like a hook, but Ji Huaizhi wasn't buying it.

“I don’t like being watched, so let’s not do it again.” Ji Huaizhi pinched her cheek. “Besides, Xiang Nuan never cared about these things before, so be more sensible.”

"Um?"

The voice, though its tone was high and magnetic, sent a chill down Wei Wei's spine.

I watched him get up and go blow-dry his hair.

Wei Wei felt that his last sentence was heartbreaking.

She wanted to ask him, "Xiang Nuan is so sensible, why did you divorce her?"

Thinking about those call records, she felt this wouldn't do; she couldn't let them have any more contact.

She understands men well; they're always looking for something better, and what they can't have is what they crave most.

Xiang Nuan looked at Ji Huaizhi with complicated emotions, never expecting that the surgery he mentioned last night was actually a tubal ligation.

"Are you relieved now?" Ji Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of weakness.

However, the anesthesia should be wearing off soon, as I'm sweating a little on my forehead.

"Well, I'm already quite surprised that you could do this much." Xiang Nuan's tone was no longer so disgusted.

Perhaps because she became a mother, as long as he treated the child well and put the child first, she was very tolerant of him.

"I know I'm not a good husband, but I think I can be considered a good father." Ji Huaizhi rested against the headboard.

Xiang Nuan was genuinely surprised; she never expected him to actually go this far.

Then she has no reason to fight him for custody of their daughter; it would be better for them to cultivate a deeper father-daughter relationship.

“I will put all my real estate under her name. I need working capital, but I can write an agreement that 80% of my profits will go to Qinqin in the future.”

Looking down, she thought about how he had undergone tubal ligation and wondered if she should do the same to ensure she would only have this one daughter.

In that case, they would all only have this one child and would only treat her well.

"No need." Ji Huaizhi could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

“This is bad for a woman’s health, and we don’t need that agreement. You can keep your money for yourself, and I will earn it for Qinqin,” Ji Huaizhi said softly with his eyes closed.

Xiang Nuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and as she laughed, her eyes welled up with tears.

"That's my daughter too. It's none of your business how I treat her."

She took a deep breath and looked at Ji Huaizhi: "You should get some rest."

I will go see my daughter tomorrow.

To be honest, she felt a little relieved, at least he wasn't completely rotten, which made her feel that her judgment hadn't completely failed her.

As I turned to leave, I bumped into my beautiful assistant who was returning from paying the bill.

The other person was also taken aback: "Madam..."

Realizing her form of address was inappropriate, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Xiang."

Xiang Nuan: "......"

It's true... a leopard can't change its spots.

"Okay, I'll be going now. You can take your CEO Ji home later." After saying that, she left in her high heels, her ponytail swaying as she walked away without looking back.

He seems to be in a good mood.

"Mr. Ji, Miss Xiang has left."

"Okay, drive me back." Ji Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged.

When Wei Wei and Wei Yi returned from outside, their expressions froze when they saw her husband's leather shoes and a pair of high heels.

She went straight to the bedroom without even changing her shoes.

"Mom!" Zhou Weiyi was also a little flustered. Uncle Ji had other women?

Assistant: "Mr. Ji, I'll be leaving now. I'll bring the documents over tomorrow so you can work from home."

"Yes, you'll have to work hard running back and forth these next two days."

The female assistant gave a formulaic smile: "It's nothing."
