A beast resides in Ji Feizhi's heart. He coveted his roommate's girlfriend, simulating countless sordid ways to snatch her in his mind, but he suppressed them all.
He began to believe...
Chapter 245: The Clouds and Mist Finally Parted and the Sun Rises
The smog that had been lingering for days was blown away by the wind.
The sky in Kyoto is exceptionally clear.
The Ji's mine collapse incident has finally come to an end. The three miners who died have been properly buried, their families have received high pensions, and they have not made any further trouble.
The injured miners were also properly treated and everything is moving in the right direction.
Ji Feizhi was busy cleaning up the mine and dealing with the senior executives who were causing trouble, and he was very busy every day.
Mr. Ji left Yu Nian in Jingyuan and took on the responsibility of taking care of him.
Yu Nian was forced to lie in bed for three days. Old Master Ji supervised him every day and did not allow him to get out of bed.
In the evening, Mr. Ji asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner as a celebration.
After all, Ji had just experienced a major storm, and his grandson and nephew were safe and sound, so it was naturally worth celebrating.
Yu Jingwan came to Jingyuan early in the afternoon and spent time chatting with Yu Nian about gossip.
Chu Feiyan returned to his nonchalant self, as if the mature and steady Chu Feiyan was just a flash in the pan.
Night comes quietly.
On the dining table.
Mr. Ji raised his glass with a kind smile on his face, "This glass is to celebrate that everyone is safe and sound."
Ji Feizhi poured Yu Nian some warm orange juice and considerately handed it to her. Yu Nian turned around and smiled, "I can do it myself."
Seeing that the goblet next to Yu Jingwan was only half full of red wine, Chu Feiyan considerately poured her a full glass.
Yu Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, tilted her head and raised her eyebrows to look at him, and whispered: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, my wife." Chu Feiyan smiled proudly, "You're not pregnant, so drink more."
He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear ambiguously, "If you're not drunk, how would I have the chance? Are you my wife?"
Since his many proposals have been unsuccessful, he has no choice but to use a dirty trick, oh no, a surprising trick!
I got her drunk and forced myself on her, and when she agreed to record the video, there was no way for me to regret it!
So, recently Chu Feiyan has been trying to find ways to get Yu Jingwan to drink.
But not once was it successful.
Yu Jingwan glared at him coquettishly and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
"This second cup is to celebrate the Ji family's successful overcoming of this crisis."
"This third glass is dedicated to Nian Nian. Thank you for your hard work in expanding the Ji family." Old Master Ji raised his glass and looked at Yu Nian, his eyes full of love.
Yu Nian was a little embarrassed, "It's not hard, Grandpa."
She's just pregnant, what's so hard about it?
In the early stages of pregnancy, Yu Nian did not feel any physical discomfort, so she could not understand the hardships of pregnancy.
Yu Jingwan interrupted, "Niannian, that's just because you haven't experienced it yet. I heard that being pregnant for ten months is very difficult."
"Really?" Yu Nian smiled and rubbed his belly, looking very happy. "It's worth it no matter how hard it is."
"Alright, everyone, eat more." Grandpa Ji said, "Niannian, come here, eat more of your favorite prawns. Only then will the child grow up fast and healthily."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Yu Nian thanked him sweetly.
Ji Feizhi took the shrimp from Yu Nian's bowl and started peeling them.
Yu Nian's eyes were fixed on the man who was peeling shrimp meticulously, with a gentle smile on the corners of his lips.
"Ugh!" As soon as the prawn entered his mouth, Yu Nian couldn't help but spit it out, turning sideways and covering his mouth to start dry heaving.
Ji Feizhi nervously put his arm around her shoulders, "Niannian, what's wrong?!"
Yu Jingwan also put down her chopsticks and looked at Yu Nian with concern.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on her.
"I'm fine." Yu Nian waved his hand, and just as he finished speaking, he started again, "Ugh!"
The shrimp clearly didn't have any fishy smell, but she still felt extremely nauseous.
"I'll go call a doctor!" Ji Feizhi's eyes were full of panic.
Old Master Ji waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't panic, this is a normal reaction. Nian Nian is newly pregnant, so morning sickness is normal."
"Let's let the doctor take a look." Ji Feizhi insisted.
After the doctor examined her, he confirmed that she was fine and advised: "Pay attention to a light diet. If morning sickness is severe, seek medical attention immediately."
Ji Feizhi finally felt relieved.
Tonight is the sixteenth, the moon is round and big, and the moonlight is bright.
Yu Nian couldn't sleep, so he went to the terrace to admire the moon.
She snuggled in Ji Feizhi's arms, her heart filled with happiness.
Everything is so beautiful that it seems unreal.
She held his hand gently. There was a cut on the back of his hand, not too deep or too shallow, which was beginning to form a scab.
Her eyes were filled with heartache. "Ji Feizhi, how did you spend the past few days in Country Z?"
It must be very difficult and dangerous.
These days, he was busy dealing with the aftermath and stabilizing Ji Shi, and she was busy taking care of the pregnancy, so the two of them had less communication.
Many times, when he came back, she was already asleep.
For some reason, she has been particularly sleepy in recent days.
He gently stroked her cheek, "Nian Nian, do you know? Having you is the greatest luck in my life."
The long and dark days in the mine were spent solely on thinking of her.
He reached out and pulled out the amulet he treasured in his chest. Yu Nian took it from him curiously and looked at it. "Isn't this the amulet I gave you?"
I didn't expect that he had kept it close to him.
Yu Nian felt a little embarrassed for a moment. This amulet was forced upon him by Master Liangran. He didn't expect that he cherished it so much.
She decided that next time she went to the temple, she would ask for one for him seriously!
"Yes, it saved me." Ji Feizhi looked down at her, tenderness in his eyes.
Yu Nian's eyes were full of doubts, and Ji Feizhi explained with a faint smile.
It turned out that after he caught up with the little girl that day, he was going to send her away first.
When he was walking back with the little girl in his arms, he found that the amulet was missing. Without thinking, he went back to look for it. As soon as he turned around, the cave entrance behind him collapsed, and he escaped the disaster.
"Fortunately, you're okay." Yu Nian's heart was filled with relief. She glanced at the amulet in her hand and said, "I didn't expect this thing to be so mysterious. I'll go find Master Le Ran and buy a few more someday. The more the better!"
Ji Feizhi looked at her tenderly, lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Okay."
"By the way, how is Qi Yan? Is his injury healed?" Yu Nian suddenly remembered and asked with concern.
Ji Feizhi chuckled, "He's recovered quite well. Qi Yan has been having a good time these past few days."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Yu Nian became interested.
The other side.
Hospital ward.
"Brother Qi Yan, do you want to eat an apple? I'll cut one for you."
"Brother Qi Yan, would you like some oranges? The doctor said oranges are good for you. They can supplement your vitamin C and help with recovery."
“…”
Ji Qingzhi asked Qi Yan about his well-being in the ward, "Would you like some hot water?"
Qi Yan sat on the hospital bed, shook his head, and chuckled, "That's really not necessary, Qingzhi. I'll tell you if I need anything."
During the rescue process, rocks fell from the mine and almost hit Ji Changlin on the head. Qi Yan pushed him away, but he was hit on the shoulder by the rock.
At this time, the door of the ward opened, and Ji Changlin came in carrying an insulated box, smiling warmly, "Son-in-law, come, have some chicken soup to replenish your body."
"Uncle." Qi Yan smiled politely.
"Why call me uncle? Call me dad!" Ji Changlin pretended to be displeased and said, "You and Qingzhi's wedding is already set. It's only a matter of time."
Ji Qingzhi took the chicken soup attentively and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Then he poured a bowl of chicken soup and fed Qi Yan spoonful by spoonful, "Come on, Brother Qi Yan, open your mouth, ah..."
"I, I can do it myself..." Qi Yan's ears turned slightly red, and he wanted to reach out to take the bowl.
"No, you are a patient!" Ji Qingzhi refused.
Ji Changlin smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now."
He didn't bother the young couple.
After Ji Chang left, Ji Qingzhi continued to feed him, "Come on, Brother Qi Yan, open your mouth... You have to get better soon, otherwise how will you attend the wedding of your eldest brother and sister-in-law..."
Ji Qingzhi had one more thing to say, and that was our wedding.
Just a few days after my eldest brother and sister-in-law's wedding...
"Be good, drink more..."
