Chapter 111 Is Ji Peiheng no good?
Spring came early this year. With the arrival of early spring, the ice and snow melted, and all things began to revive.
My annual leave is over, and it's my first day back at work.
Shi Yang dressed up nicely and went to the company.
After not seeing each other for a whole Spring Festival, colleagues exchanged pleasantries upon meeting.
Xiao Yan has gained a few pounds, and her cheeks are noticeably rounder.
She handed Shi Yang an invitation, and when she opened it, she was surprised to find that it had Xiao Yan's name on it.
"Are you getting married?"
Xiao Yan smiled shyly and nodded: "When I went home for the Spring Festival, my family introduced me to a blind date. After dating for a while, I felt that we were quite good together and that we were a good match. Plus, we are not young anymore, so we decided to get married."
Shi Yang was both surprised and delighted: "That's great! I'll give you a big red envelope then."
"Thank you, sister."
Shi Yang looked at her assistant, who had been with her for several years, with a hint of reluctance: "Are you going back to your hometown? What will you do about your work?"
She knew that Xiaoyan was ambitious and hardworking, and had her own aspirations at work, but she was from out of town, and it would be a waste for her to go home and work so hard for so many years.
Xiao Yan said, "No, he also works in Beijing, and we will settle down in Beijing in the future."
Shi Yang was relieved: "The company is going to hold a design exhibition next month, and I recommended you to the boss. If the exhibition goes well, your promotion to independent designer is a sure thing."
Xiao Yan was overjoyed and her confidence soared: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely do my best."
When it was time to leave work, Shi Yang went to find Lu Qingqing.
Several months later, she was finally able to walk again.
Lu Qingqing recovered and immediately went back to work.
Shi Yang was waiting in his car downstairs at her company.
After a while, Lu Qingqing came out, her face dark with anger. As soon as she got into the car, she started cursing: "That damned Meng Yaozhu, he must have done it on purpose. He actually made me collect material on entertainment reporters. I am a political reporter, and those are not my areas of responsibility at all. He pretended that I had been on leave for too long and was helping my colleagues to share the burden. He was clearly taking revenge on me."
"My application to be a reporter in a different location still hasn't been approved. It's infuriating."
"That bastard definitely did it on purpose."
Lu grumbled and cursed all the way, and then they found a Western restaurant to eat at.
A while later, Wen Wanwan arrived, equally unhappy, and angrily threw her bag onto the empty chair.
Shi Yang poured them water: "Why are you two so temperamental?"
Wen Wanwan gulped down all the water in one go: "It's all because of my brother. He thinks I'm too wild. He told my parents he'd introduce me to blind dates, and they actually agreed! They're currently arranging blind dates for me. It's infuriating..."
"Oh my god, me too!" Lu Qingqing chimed in, "My mom forced me to go on another blind date this weekend..."
It's rare to see two people who have always been enemies stand on the same side.
After venting for a while, they all turned their attention to Shi Yang, who was focused on eating: "It's infuriating to compare yourself to others, isn't it? Why don't you have to worry about this?"
"She's been spoiled rotten by Second Brother Ji, what's there to worry about?" Wen Wanwan sighed and shook her head: "If I could meet a man like Second Brother Ji, I wouldn't have any worries either."
Shi Yang was both amused and exasperated.
She was more worried than anyone else at this time last year. Not only was she jilted, but she was also betrothed to a complete stranger. She felt like the sky was falling.
Looking back now, I can't help but feel how fast time flies; so much has happened in just one year.
At that time, she never imagined that she would one day fall in love with Ji Peiheng and live a happy and fulfilling life together.
The three best friends chatted for a while longer, and then Wen Wanwan brought up another matter: "It's Ji Erge's birthday soon, and I heard my brother and Xie Ran have been discussing how to celebrate it. Sister-in-law, have you decided what birthday present to give my brother?"
Shi Yang shook his head: "Not yet."
To be honest, she didn't know what to give. She had started preparing a birthday gift a few days ago, but after looking for a long time, she felt that everything was too ordinary and tacky, and she really didn't know what to give.
...
Ji Peiheng also had a social engagement tonight, and he got home late.
Upon entering, one sees large and small bags piled up all over the floor, along with various cardboard boxes.
Shi Yang was looking at the mountain of tonics with a worried expression: "You're back. Mom brought all of these over."
Ever since she mentioned her intention to get pregnant during the Lunar New Year, Qin Lan has been sending all sorts of tonics every few days, all for conditioning her body.
Actually, the reason she hadn't responded for so long wasn't because there was anything wrong with her body, but rather... she looked at Ji Peiheng with a resentful expression.
Ji Peiheng assumed she was just worried about the tonics and stroked her soft hair, saying, "They're all good stuff. It's okay, I'll eat with you."
"I've been eating all this time and I've gained several pounds."
"It's okay, I'll still love you even if you get as fat as a pig."
Seeing that he didn't seem to understand her implied meaning, Shi Yang pushed him away and rolled her eyes: "You're the pig!"
That night, Ji Peiheng dealt with some work matters, then left the study and went into the bathroom.
Shi Yang lay on the bed drawing, listening to the sounds from the bathroom that someone was almost finished showering, which made her even more agitated. She drew several drafts but they were still not complete, so she simply deleted them all.
After Ji Peiheng came out, he looked at the person lying peacefully under the covers.
He leaned down and kissed her eyelashes: "Asleep?"
Water droplets from his tousled hair dripped down onto her eyelids, and her eyeballs trembled slightly beneath them.
Ji Peiheng smiled and kissed those pink lips, his hand reaching under the blanket.
A moment later, Shi Yang arched her neck back, revealing her beautiful neckline, and couldn't help but let out a cry.
Her eyes darted around, and she opened them, glaring at him angrily: "What are you doing?"
"To check if you're really asleep?"
Ji Peiheng always had a hundred tricks up his sleeve, and Yang couldn't help but cling to him whenever he moved his fingers.
Ji Peiheng chuckled softly, leaning down to breathe warm air into her ear: "Baby, does it feel good?"
"Come on then, stop torturing me." Shi Yang's face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her cheeks and behind her ears were flushed. She was easily angered and prone to irritation.
Ji Peiheng loved her like this: "Coming, don't rush."
He turned to pull up the bedside table.
Shi Yang's expression immediately turned cold, and the passion that had just been aroused vanished instantly.
...
For several days in a row, Shi Yang was in a bad mood, which Lu Qingqing noticed at a glance.
Under her persistent questioning, Shi Yang revealed the reason.
Lu Qingqing was a little surprised: "You mean, you want a child, but Ji Peiheng has been deliberately using contraception?"
Shi Yang nodded with his shoulders slumped.
She had hinted and suggested it several times, but Ji Peiheng seemed not to understand.
Lu Qingqing was also confused: "A man wouldn't want his wife to get pregnant? Unless he doesn't love her. But Ji Peiheng treats you like a princess, surely not."
She made wild guesses, and finally blurted out a bold one: "Could it be that he's impotent?"
