"Oh, sleep for five more minutes!" Shen Mingzhu didn't even open her eyes.
This scene left Ji Ci speechless.
This idiot, if he were really sold, he would sleep like a pig!
But this time Shen Mingzhu did not cover her face with a blanket.
When she is asleep, she is not as aggressive as when she is awake, and she does not have any noisy inner voices.
It just slept quietly, looking defenseless like a docile cat.
But Ji Ci knew very well that if this guy really went crazy, his claws would scratch the faces of everyone who bullied her.
Perhaps it was because those eyes were too active when she was awake that Ji Ci had never taken a close look at her facial features.
She has a delicate and small nose, slightly open pink lips, and a relatively smooth jawline, but her cheeks are a little fleshy, making them look very soft and make people want to pinch them.
As if possessed by a ghost, Ji Ci reached out his hand towards her face.
My slightly warm fingertips touched the fair and smooth skin, which was indeed very soft.
If Shen Mingzhu was awake, she would have slapped Ji Ci's hand away before he got close to her, cursing in her heart.
This look now is different from the way she pretends to be well-behaved.
When she pretends to be well-behaved, her eyes can't hide the viciousness waiting for an opportunity to strike. If you really think that she is harmless, then you will be prepared for her to seize the opportunity and bite you back.
"Pah." Ji Ci's fingertips were still slapped away. Shen Mingzhu scratched the spot on her face where he had touched her, "Where did this mosquito come from?"
Aren't you awake yet?
Ji Ci felt a surge of anger rising in his heart. She looked like this, could it be that she was being bullied and she didn’t even know it?
He was so defenseless that he didn't even wake up when I touched him.
If there really were a bad guy who wanted to do something to her, wouldn't it be easy?
Thinking of this, Ji Ci reached out and pinched her nose.
Feeling suffocated, Shen Mingzhu finally opened her eyes. Seeing Ji Ci's face so close to her, she was so scared that she pushed Ji Ci away.
"What are you doing?!"
"Ji Ci, are you sick?" Shen Mingzhu rubbed her nose.
"Doesn't the hero have a mouth? Can't he scream? Why does he have to pinch me to wake me up?!"
For some reason, Ji Ci felt better when he heard the familiar tone of the voice scolding him.
This is what she is like. She looked too well-behaved just now, which made him very unhappy.
"Wait, why are you here?" Shen Mingzhu looked around and then remembered that she seemed to be locked up.
Then I got so bored waiting that I fell asleep.
"This is my home, why can't I be here?" Ji Ci found it funny, she looked silly as if she hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"Forget it, since the door is open, I might as well go home."
Shen Mingzhu patted her clothes, stood up and walked out.
Ji Ci also stood up and held her.
"that's all?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Mingzhu was puzzled by Ji Ci's question.
"You're not angry?"
Based on Ji Ci's understanding of her, she would probably clamor for justice to be done to her, or at least make those who bullied her pay the price.
"Why should I be angry?" Shen Mingzhu asked Ji Ci directly.
"You know that it was Ji Yuan who framed you, shouldn't you..." Ji Ci didn't continue.
Shen Mingzhu understood what he meant.
"What should I do? Make a scene and destroy the place? Or rush to Ji Yuan and beat her up?"
"Isn't it?" Ji Ci felt that such behavior was in line with her personality.
A bitter smile appeared on Shen Mingzhu's lips, and her dark eyes were filled with inextricable sadness.
"I'm not stupid. If I do this, no one will help me. It will only make them think that I have lost the demeanor of the eldest lady of the Shen family."
"If it was Shen Mingzhu who was loved by everyone in the past, maybe she would have the right to make a scene."
"But I'm not like that. Only those who are favored can be fearless. Ji Yuan also knows this and dares to treat me like this."
"When they loved me, I could be willful, but now, apart from the title of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, I have no one to rely on."
"Besides, what happened today was probably also caused by Shen Yuan. There is no way the Shen family would reprimand Shen Yuan for me."
Ji Ci's heart tightened inexplicably.
He really wanted to refute that the Shen family would never treat her like this.
Shen Zejing has always been on the side of justice, not relatives. If he knew that she was wronged, he would definitely stand by her.
But he found that during this period, all the people he saw in Shen Zejing favored Shen Yuan.
Shen Mingzhu's situation didn't seem as good as he thought.
"You can still find me..." Ji Ci was stunned when he said this.
Shen Mingzhu laughed out loud, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Looking for you? Why would you help me? I am just occupying the title of your fiancée, and it is an engagement you don't want. Compared to me, Ji Yuan is your cousin, who are you helping?"
"I'm not that naive. I can change my fiancée, but I can't give up my cousin."
"Anyway, the person Ji Ci chose in the end was Shen Yuan. She is Ji Ci's destined heroine. How could I be so arrogant as to think that Ji Ci would help me?"
Ji Ci didn't say anything. He found that Shen Mingzhu's ideas were indeed in line with his style.
Shen Mingzhu walked out without looking back.
Watching her leaving, Ji Ci felt the urge to help her for the first time.
But his reason controlled him and prevented him from chasing Shen Mingzhu.
There were two voices fighting in his head.
[Don’t you feel sorry for her?] Why can't you stand by her side? 】
[No, you have to stay calm and not let momentary impulse control you! 】
The two voices even started arguing.
What's wrong with feeling sorry for her? She is so pitiful, there is nothing wrong in giving her a hand. 】
[Absolutely not. Emotions are the most terrible thing in the world. This idea should be killed. You should not let emotions affect your most rational judgment! 】
[Think about Ji Fengyun. Once he is controlled by emotions, he will become extremely terrifying! 】
"Enough!" Ji Ci couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.
He banged his head hard, trying to stop the quarrel in his mind.
When the housekeeper saw Shen Mingzhu running out, before he had time to ask her about the situation, he heard Ji Ci's roar.
"Boss Ji? Come on, what happened?"
Hearing the butler's voice, Ji Ci stopped what he was doing, and the argument in his mind also stopped.
He resumed his cold attitude, "As for grandma, tell her that Shen Mingzhu had something urgent to do, but she doesn't have grandma's contact information. She told me, but I didn't notice her message."
"And you now?"
"I'm fine." Ji Ci said calmly as if nothing had happened.
"Don't let grandma know about Ji Yuan's affairs. She is old now. Don't let these dirty things pollute her ears."
The butler nodded, "I understand."
Ji Ci's eyes swept across the carpet on the ground, but he turned and left without stopping.
After listening to the butler's explanation, Mrs. Ji did not say anything, but just stared at the butler's face.
She is just old, not confused.
This excuse was not enough to convince her.
Madam Ji was so smart that she knew the problem after careful consideration.
"This matter may be related to Xiaoyuan."
