Chapter 134 I'm Back (Turning Point)
"Impossible, impossible, there must be a mistake."
Shi Yang trembled and backed away: "There must be a mistake. He promised me he would be back at nine o'clock."
"It's definitely not nine o'clock yet."
Aunt Cui sobbed uncontrollably, "Madam, it's already midnight..."
"Aunt Cui, hurry up and cook, he can have something hot to eat when he gets back..." Shi Yang grabbed Aunt Cui's arm and said, "Hurry up, or we'll be late."
Aunt Cui didn't move.
Shi Yang stopped looking at her, got out of bed, and said with an indifferent expression, "If you're not going, I will. He'll be back soon, so I have to hurry."
She had just gotten up when she fell back onto the bed. She realized that she had no strength at all; her whole body was numb.
Shi Yang fainted from crying again.
She was dreaming.
In her dream, Ji Peiheng came back. Not only did he come back, but he also bought her favorite cherry pie and hugged her, saying that he would never leave her again and would always be with her.
When she went to embrace him, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
"No! No!"
With a piercing scream, Shi Yang opened her eyes.
"Yangyang, how are you?"
The familiar male voice sounded like a voice from a dream, and she turned her head to stare blankly at the man's face.
Is it a dream?
So realistic!
She saw him again. He looked at her with concern and worry, his eyes full of love.
If it's a dream, she hopes it will never end.
Shi Yang timidly reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "You're back, please don't leave again, okay?"
"Ji Peiheng, I've had a very hard life before. I finally met you. Please don't be so cruel to me. Don't leave. Stay by my side. I'll give up everything I have in exchange. I don't want anything else, I just want you!"
Her eyes were red, and she had completely lost control.
Ji Peiheng hugged her, constantly comforting her: "I'm here, I'm back, I'm here, I didn't leave."
"I really can't live without you. Tell me, tell me, how can I keep you? If this is a dream, I'd rather never wake up!"
She cried so hard her voice was hoarse and indistinct, but Ji Peiheng heard it clearly. It felt as if a dull knife was cutting into his heart, piece by piece.
"This isn't a dream, it's real. I'm back, I'm back... Look at me, don't you think?"
Ji Peiheng held her head and brought his face close to hers: "Baby, look at me."
Shi Yang stared at him blankly, tracing his features with her fingers, from his thick eyebrows to the bridge of his nose to his lips. The warmth of her fingertips clearly told her that it was all so real.
He exists truly and completely before me.
"Is this really not a dream?"
Ji Peiheng kissed her lips, showing her with his actions that this was not a dream.
Her chapped lips were moistened, and the burning heat enveloped her, immersing her in the rich scent of cedarwood.
Ji Peiheng kissed her tenderly, wiping away the tears on her eyelashes, and then took her lips into his mouth again.
His aura continued to engulf her, and only then did Shi Yang finally feel that the person in front of her was real, and that all of this was real.
He really came back.
She responded to him eagerly, grabbing his shoulders and pinning him down.
Without any rhyme or reason, she probed into the man's chest, kissing him forcefully, kissing his eyebrows and eyes, kissing his delicate collarbone, and moving downwards, as if she desperately needed to prove something.
Ji Peiheng raised his head impatiently, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily. He watched as she stopped what she was doing, took off her clothes, and covered his body again.
Ji Peiheng rolled over again, their positions reversed, and he noticed her soft cry and somewhat pained expression.
He instinctively wanted to go outside.
She said, "Don't go, possess me!"
...
After an unknown amount of time, the noise on the bed finally subsided. Shi Yang nestled quietly in his arms, her fingers tightly intertwined with his: "Ji Peiheng, I almost lost my heart."
The man felt a pang of pain in his heart. He kissed her hair and explained what had happened: "I was originally going to take the Jingliu Expressway, but I went to Haicheng first. On the way back, I took the Jinghai Expressway, which made me two hours later than planned. Plus, there was traffic on the Jinghai Expressway, so I got back late. And my phone was off..."
What are you going to Haicheng for?
Ji Peiheng's voice softened like water: "I'm going to buy you cherry pies."
Shi Yang's tears flowed again: "Ji Peiheng, I am so fortunate. I have never felt so fortunate before."
Ji Peiheng also felt very fortunate.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He had expected some people to lose their patience, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
...
A heavy rain washed the entire city clean, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of rain.
At daybreak, news broke in the capital: the former president of the Jiang Group had suddenly turned against him, claiming that the shoddy workmanship in building materials was all instigated by Ji Peiheng, the president of the Ji Group! He also claimed that Ji Peiheng had pushed him out to take the blame!
In reality, it was all a conspiracy by the Ji family to line their own pockets!
The new city project has been suspended once again.
Rumors circulated online that the president of the Ji Group was involved in a car accident on his way back to Beijing last night.
The Ji family's stock plummeted overnight!
Countless reporters, media outlets, and victims' families once again surrounded the Ji family's building.
President's Office, Ji's Building.
Ji Jinyu was pacing anxiously. He looked at the man who was leaning back in his chair, looking relaxed and composed. Even at such a critical moment, he was still flipping through documents and showed no signs of anxiety.
He laughed in exasperation: "Shouldn't you give me an explanation? What exactly happened?"
Before he could speak, Liao Nan came in from outside: "President Ji, the police are here and want to see you."
Ji Jinyu slammed his hand on the table: "The police are here, can you give me a straight answer, is this related to you or not?"
Ji Peiheng looked up: "What if I did it?"
Ji Jinyu was stunned. She looked at him for a while, then closed her eyes again, opened them again, and said with unprecedented seriousness: "If you did it, I will take the blame for you."
Liao Nan was also stunned. He was used to seeing Young Master Ji's absurd and indecisive behavior, but he never expected him to say such a thing.
He smiled and said, "You're my brother. If you really make a mistake, I'll take responsibility for everything."
Ji Peiheng's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "Brother, I didn't do it. The Ji family has never done anything illegal or disorderly."
Ji Peiheng let out a heavy sigh of relief; his heart, which had been hanging on the edge of a cliff, finally settled back on solid ground.
"Was that Jiang Fu who framed you?"
Ji Peiheng smiled, lazily got up, and walked to Ji Jinyu's side.
Liao Nan saw Ji Peiheng whisper something in his ear, and Ji Jinyu's pupils suddenly contracted.
...
Ji Peiheng, who was rumored to have been in an accident, reappeared in front of the public, getting straight into a police car. Even while in the police car, he appeared calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.
It seemed as if he wasn't going to the police station, but rather to attend a banquet.
As Ji Jinyu watched the police car drive away, her mind was filled with Ji Peiheng's words before leaving: "There's a mole in the Ji family. Once I'm taken away by the police, the mole will appear. I hope you won't be too surprised when the mole appears. The mole not only doesn't want the new city project to start, but also wants me dead."
