Not far from where the two were hugging each other, Shen Zeshuo, who was supported by his assistant, suddenly stopped.
"Brother Shuo?" The assistant looked at Shen Zeshuo instead of answering. They still had to go to the hospital for a checkup accompanied by the police.
Shen Zeshuo shook his head with a smile, "Nothing, let's go."
This time, he would no longer regard Shen Mingzhu's voice as a curse.
Wasn't she afraid that something might happen to her and she'd end up being a canary in a cage?
Then as long as he avoided Director Sun, this ending would not have happened.
If she does this, will she be able to feel at ease?
The two people hugged each other but it didn't last long, because -
Shen Mingzhu's legs were numb.
She also came back to her senses at this moment, "Um, Ji Ci, let me go first..."
"Hmm?" Feeling her struggle, Ji Ci randomly let go of her.
The next second, Shen Mingzhu sat down on the ground, and then lay down in a spread-eagle position.
"You?" Ji Ci didn't quite understand why she did this and was about to pull her up.
When Shen Mingzhu saw Ji Ci's outstretched hand, she grabbed it without hesitation, then pulled hard, and Ji Ci also sat on the ground.
But Shen Mingzhu felt that it was not enough, so she reached out and patted the place beside her, "Hurry, lie down."
The corner of Ji Ci's mouth twitched, but seeing her sincere invitation, he immediately followed her wishes and lay down beside her.
As soon as he lay down, he understood Shen Mingzhu's intention.
Because he was in a half-kneeling position, his other leg felt numb the moment he lay down. If he didn't lie down directly, he would probably not be able to stand steadily.
On the contrary, after lying down, the numbness in my legs was relieved, and consciousness gradually returned as time passed.
Seeing that he really did it, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahahahahaha, you really are lying here! Don't you have any dignity?"
Ji Ci immediately understood her intention. Although lying down could indeed relieve the numbness in his legs, her laughter clearly conveyed that she just wanted to see him disregarding his image.
The fact that she still had the energy to tease me proved that the hug just now was useful.
At least, she didn't dwell on sadness for too long.
However, Ji Ci is not the kind of person who won’t fight back even if he is teased, “My face is not as important as your happiness.”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Mingzhu almost choked on her own saliva, "Cough, cough cough cough!"
"Wow, Ji Ci is such a stubborn guy! I just teased him, or did he fall for me out of sheer greed?"
Ji Ci suddenly sat up with half of his body supported, one leg bent, and tilted his head to look at Shen Mingzhu, but smiled without saying a word.
Shen Mingzhu felt her whole body crawling at his smile. She sat up suddenly, but her legs were still numb, so she could only move her butt away from Ji Ci.
"Wait a minute! Have you forgotten what you said before?!"
Ji Ci raised one eyebrow, the curve of his mouth remained unchanged, "What?"
Shen Mingzhu angrily put her hands on her waist and glared at him fiercely, "Don't forget that we have nothing to do with each other now. It was you who said that the engagement was annulled! Now you are teasing me again! You scumbag!"
"That's not right, shouldn't you go find Shen Yuan? She is your official match!"
"Oh, how could I forget such an important thing? After Ji Ci discussed with me about breaking off the engagement, he should have announced that he was with Chen Yuan. But why is there no progress after so long?"
"Could it be that what happened on the birthday party scared him? So he thought about it and decided that he might as well choose me?"
"Yes, that must be the case! But, I remember that in the original story he insisted on wearing the green hat even though he knew about it. Why is he not following the plot now?"
"Or has it not reached that point yet, and he is now trying to use me to provoke Shen Yuan?"
"Is this a way to avenge Chen Yuan for cheating on him? No! I'm not part of their play!"
"Besides, I only used him last time because the situation was urgent. This time is the same. No, I can't go on like this. I don't want other people's things. They are too dirty!"
Seeing that Shen Mingzhu's thoughts were becoming more and more outrageous, Ji Ci's smile could no longer be maintained.
"Who told you I was going to choose Shen Yuan?"
"Neither the Shen family nor the Ji family has issued any statement. In the eyes of others, you and I are still an engaged couple."
The implication is that he had never had any involvement with Shen Yuan from beginning to end, he only had a relationship with her, Shen Mingzhu, and he was not dirty! ! !
Shen Mingzhu shrugged slightly. "It's not that easy to issue a statement. I don't want to be accused of occupying the toilet without doing anything!"
"I won't get involved with things that don't belong to me. If I had to get involved with you a few times due to emergencies and caused you misunderstandings, then I apologize. I will definitely maintain a relationship with you in the future!"
Having said that, Shen Mingzhu was about to struggle to get up and leave.
But Ji Ci's movements were faster. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Mingzhu's hand. No matter how hard Shen Mingzhu struggled, he only held it tighter and tighter.
This time, Shen Mingzhu was really angry. She looked at Ji Ci without any tenderness in her eyes.
"Let go. There is no relationship between us, and there should be no more inappropriate behavior."
"But I regret it. I don't want to break off the engagement with you."
Shen Mingzhu stared at Ji Ci's face in disbelief, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you're in love with someone over time. I can't handle that!"
"I almost forgot that Ji Ci is a businessman, and he should care about his own interests the most. Now he suddenly doesn't want to cancel the engagement. It is probably because he can't let go of the benefits of marrying into the Shen family, but he really can't stand Shen Yuan cheating on him. At least he can't let everyone know about this."
"Comparatively, Zhang Yan and I were not photographed in indecent ways like Shen Yuan was. Besides, Zhang Yan was arrested a long time ago, so he can't cause any big trouble."
"It's ridiculous that I was deceived by my hormones and almost thought that Ji Ci really liked me. This was all just a game played by a capitalist like him."
"Businessmen are good at getting the biggest reward with the smallest cost!"
Shen Mingzhu's words were like boomerangs, which hit him without missing a single one after another across a not-so-long period of time.
Ji Ci was a little dazed. He suddenly began to lose track of how he felt about Shen Mingzhu.
Or is it really as she said in her heart, that all his actions at this moment are the best choices made by a mercenary businessman after weighing the pros and cons?
In the end, Ji Ci no longer had the confidence to hold Shen Mingzhu, but let go of her hand and turned his head away to prevent her from seeing his loss at the moment.
Shen Mingzhu was a little surprised that Ji Ci let go so easily.
But it's better this way, they shouldn't have anything to do with it.
"Boss Ji, I am not a toy that you can manipulate. I am a person with independent consciousness."
"For me, marriage should be the natural outcome of deep love. I don't accept any relationship that is mixed with water."
