Chapter 2 I have no intention of living a life of widowhood at the moment (Please add this to your bookshelf, everyone...)
When Shi Yang woke up the next day, it was already bright outside, and the temperature around him was already icy cold.
She went downstairs but didn't see Ji Peiheng.
Looking around, she saw Aunt Cui spread a black suitcase on the ground and take out the clothes one by one.
That was Ji Peiheng's suitcase.
She asked, "Aunt Cui, what are you doing?"
Aunt Cui said, "I'm organizing my husband's clothes. Some of the clean ones need to be put in the closet, and some need to be sent to the dry cleaners."
Shi Yang understood the key point in the question: "You mean, Ji Peiheng isn't leaving?"
Aunt Cui looked at her suspiciously: "Where is the master going? This is his home."
"I mean, he's not going on the business trip anymore?"
Aunt Cui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't heard from Mr. Cui that he's going on a business trip anytime soon."
Aunt Cui thought that Shi Yang didn't want Ji Peiheng to go on a business trip. After all, what woman could bear the thought of her husband going away on a business trip for three months on their wedding night? So she comforted her, "Madam, now the master can spend more time with you."
At this moment, Shi Yang's thoughts were completely different from what she had imagined. The fact that Ji Peiheng was not leaving was not good news for her.
She was originally supposed to marry Ji Jinyu, but the marriage that Ji Jinyu didn't want was instead arranged for Ji Peiheng. No man could accept that.
Ji Peiheng must be the same.
She fears that the days ahead will be difficult for her.
She sighed, ate breakfast, and went back to her bedroom to catch up on sleep.
It's the weekend today, a rare day off from work.
She slept until noon, and in her drowsy state, she received a phone call.
If she could, she wouldn't want to answer the call, but since he was nominally her older brother, she couldn't be too ruthless.
Ji Jinyu's pleading voice came through: "Yangyang, I know I shouldn't have called you, but could you please come out and help me explain to Yueyue, to prove that we're innocent? Yueyue isn't feeling well right now..."
"I'm not available," Shi Yang refused outright.
She really didn't want to get involved with the two of them; they had already made her lose face completely.
For so many years, she had always believed that she and Ji Jinyu were in love, and naturally, she thought that she would definitely marry him in the future.
Who would have thought that all these years, he had only treated her as a substitute for Shi Yue? Now that Shi Yue has divorced and returned to China, he has publicly broken off the engagement.
Ji Jinyu's pained voice came through: "Yangyang, please help me one last time. Please remember that I saved you that year, okay?"
That year, she was harassed by bad people and was in imminent danger. It was Ji Jinyu who saved her, and he was injured in the process.
With that in mind, Shi Yang agreed.
The last time, he repaid his life-saving debt, and then they were even.
The sun is at its most intense around two or three in the afternoon, so bright that it's hard to open your eyes.
Shi Yang arrived at the park indicated on the address. There weren't many people there.
Ji Jinyu and Shi Yue sat on wooden chairs. Shi Yue's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.
Upon seeing her arrive, Ji Jinyu hurriedly stood up: "Yangyang, you must explain properly. I'll go buy you some drinks."
Shi Yang nodded, walked up to Shi Yue, and was about to speak.
Suddenly someone covered her mouth from behind, and she didn't even have time to call for help.
In an instant, she was plunged into darkness.
...
I don't know how much time has passed.
Shi Yang woke up and realized clearly that she had been kidnapped.
“Ji Jinyu, you have to choose one of these two women. You can only take one of them with you. If you hesitate for another second, I guarantee you will only see their corpses.”
The shouts of the kidnappers filled my ears.
Shi Yang regretted it!
She regretted going out today!
You shouldn't have met with Ji Jinyu at all!
On the phone, Ji Jinyu's voice was furious: "If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive you."
The kidnapper scoffed, "Only incompetent people bark like that. I told you to choose, hurry up!"
Shi Yue, who was standing to the side, was crying uncontrollably: "Ayu, save me... I don't want to die..."
In contrast, Shi Yang appeared unusually calm. Rather than crying, she decided to save her energy and think of a way to escape.
"I'll count to three. If you haven't made a choice by then, you can expect to be collecting their corpses. Three...two..."
"Shi Yue! I choose Shi Yue!" Ji Jinyu almost shouted from the other end.
Upon hearing Ji Jinyu's choice, Shi Yang remained calm.
She couldn't quite put her feelings into words.
Am I sad? Am I disappointed? It doesn't seem so.
Being abandoned was exactly what she had expected.
Ji Jinyu's dejected voice faintly drifted over: "Yangyang, I'm sorry, this time I can only choose Xiaoyue."
Ten minutes later.
Shi Yue was rescued.
Only Shi Yang is left.
The kidnapper stared at her, his eyes filled with lust.
She truly deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the capital.
She's fucking good-looking.
Shi Yang knew all too well what he wanted to do.
She tried her best to remain calm: "You can't touch me, and you wouldn't dare to touch me!"
The kidnapper seemed to have heard a funny joke: "Tell me why I don't dare to touch you?"
“My husband is Ji Peiheng. If you touch me, he won’t let you get away with it.”
The kidnapper laughed loudly: "I heard from a rumor that the marriage that Young Master Ji didn't want was given to Second Young Master Ji, and Second Young Master Ji hates it. I'm afraid Ji Peiheng won't care whether you live or die."
Shi Yang felt a chill run through her heart.
Yes, even if Ji Peiheng found out, he probably wouldn't care.
Just as she was feeling desperate, the sound of sirens blared outside.
Then, a loud "bang" came from the doorway.
The kidnapper turned around and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Ji... Ji Peiheng? What are you doing here?"
A cold smile crept onto the man's jade-like face: "I can't possibly wish you a Happy New Year."
The kidnappers grabbed their weapons, but before they could even get close to Ji Peiheng, they were subdued by the police who arrived from behind.
Shi Yang watched as the tall man walked towards her step by step, bent down, put his arm under her armpits, and picked her up horizontally.
She lowered her eyelids and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Ji Peiheng's voice, neither too loud nor too soft, rang out from above: "I have no intention of living a life of widowhood at the moment."
...
Midnight.
Shi Yang has been taking a shower in the bathroom for an hour and hasn't come out yet.
Actually, she had already finished showering, but she didn't know how to face Ji Peiheng when she went out, so she lingered in the bathroom.
We can't hide like this forever.
After lingering for a while, she pushed open the bathroom door and went out.
Ji Peiheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, slowly flipping through a magazine: "If you don't come out soon, I'll think something has happened to you and I'm going to go in and rescue you."
Shi Yang composed herself and said, "Thank you for today."
Ji Peiheng closed the magazine and looked up: "You're welcome."
Shi Yang's words caught in her throat. She thought he would question her about why she had met with Ji Jinyu and why she had been kidnapped. She prepared all her explanations in the bathroom.
He didn't ask anything.
Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a moment.
It has to be said that Ji Peiheng was born with an exceptionally outstanding appearance. His bone structure was well-defined, and his eyebrows and eyes were like jade. His eyes, in particular, were extremely beautiful, shaped like peach blossoms, with long and narrow corners. A clean line was drawn from the inner corner of his eye to the outer corner, and then it narrowed sharply at the outer corner.
As she spoke, the corners of her eyes slightly turned up, and a faint smile flickered in her eyes.
It gives people the illusion that they are easy to get along with.
But he carries an innate sense of pressure.
Unlike Ji Jinyu's sunny and gentle nature, Ji Peiheng is arrogant and unrestrained, like a sharp and unyielding sword, fierce and hurtful.
Shi Yang was afraid of him; he had been afraid of him since he was a child.
She had been following Ji Jinyu since she was very young, and inevitably she would see Ji Peiheng. He was two years younger than Ji Jinyu, but his eyes were already deep and sharp.
Originally the person the Ji family had placed the most hopes on, he went to jail in high school for fighting with someone. It was not a glorious thing for a young master from a prestigious family to go to jail. After that, the Ji family sent him abroad. While studying abroad, Ji Peiheng earned multiple doctoral degrees and started his own business. With his amazing mind and talent, he reached the pinnacle of wealth in just a few years.
After returning to China, he rightfully joined the Ji Group. His abilities were so strong that Chairman Ji had gradually stepped back from the forefront. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the Ji Group was actually now under Ji Peiheng's control.
When Shi Yang saw him again, she felt that he was beautiful and his demeanor was as noble as jade.
You would never guess that this man used to be a petty thug and had even been to jail.
While she was lost in thought, Ji Peiheng said, "The person who kidnapped you has been taken away by the police. He insists that he was only attracted to you because of lust, but the specific reason is still under investigation."
After saying that, he went into the bathroom.
She hesitated for a moment before getting into the big bed, their master bedroom. When he wasn't there, she slept in another room. The room was so big, and she felt scared being all alone. Now that he was back, she should sleep in the master bedroom.
Shi Yang was exhausted. She lay in bed listening to the pattering sounds from the bathroom but couldn't fall asleep.
Slowly, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, the door opened, and a unique scent of snow-covered pine mixed with shower gel wafted into his nostrils.
Then, a section of the bed behind me collapsed.
Shi Yang's heart unconsciously started beating faster.
