Chapter 34
There were too many people at the exit, and Fang Ning could only move her eyes among the people coming and going, but she still couldn't find the person she was looking for.
Her position was neither too remote nor too conspicuous.
Fang Ning hesitated whether to find a conspicuous location.
But just when Fang Ning was struggling, a deep and somewhat familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Fang Ning."
Fang Ning subconsciously turned her gaze in the direction of the voice.
The first thing that caught her sight was a straight figure dragging a suitcase. The man was wearing a well-made suit.
The man's steps are steady and calm. When your eyes move upward from his feet, you can see his long legs straight in vertical suit trousers.
Seeing this, Fang Ning's eyes narrowed reflexively. As a beauty lover, Fang Ning looked at people not only at their faces, but also at their overall appearance, which of course also included their legs.
If she were to rate this leg, it would probably be above 95.
Straight and powerful, it is not difficult to imagine what the legs look like under the suit pants.
At this time, the other party was slowly walking back, and the person in sight became clearer and clearer.
After looking at the legs, Fang Ning slowly moved her gaze towards the man, whose bony hands were supporting the suitcase.
In just a few seconds, the other person's figure was very close to her, and the man's face was clearly imprinted in Fang Ning's eyes.
There was a difference between the man's face and the face in the two-dimensional photo on her phone that she had just seen.
Compared with photos, Chinese men's faces are now more three-dimensional, with smooth facial lines, long eyebrows and deep eyes.
Different from Ji Xiangchen who was a flamboyant person in his twenties, Ji Xiangnian who was in his thirties was more mature. His face which had been baptized by time was calm, steady, strong and had the unique temperament of a mature man.
Seeing this, Fang Ning gave this man a score of 90 in her heart.
Fang Ning reached out and took off the sunglasses on her eyes and nodded unconsciously.
To be honest, this man's appearance was completely in line with her aesthetic standards and within her range of mate choices.
Perhaps because of her precocious maturity, Fang Ning did not have much affection for men younger than herself, and younger brothers were never within her range of choice of partners.
She prefers mature, strong, capable and excellent men.
What a pity, Fang Ning sighed softly, the plot destined that they would not have a good ending, and this man was just a marriage partner to her with only a marriage certificate.
In the plot, he is a domineering boss who only gives money and does not talk about love.
It’s okay, men are like that. Fang Ning lowered his eyes and slowly put away the sunglasses in his hand. There are so many men like that.
If this one doesn’t work, try the next one. First, make some money from this man who talks about money rather than love, and then work hard on your own.
Once you have earned enough money, you will not be afraid of not having a good-looking man or a mature and steady man, as long as you have enough money.
She still knew this.
Thinking of this, Fang Ning calmed down her emotions. Seeing that the man was almost there, she smiled and extended her hand politely, saying, "Welcome back from your business trip, Mr. Ji."
Looking at the white hand stretched out towards me, and the face with two beautiful dimples showing while smiling.
Ji Xiangnian paused slightly. In his memory, during the days when he was with Fang Ning after their marriage, he had never seen Fang Ning smile so cheerfully and brightly.
Maybe just a few days of getting along won't allow one person to fully understand another person.
Ji Xiangnian recovered his composure and stopped. Seeing Fang Ning reaching out her hand, he reached out and shook hands with the whiter hand: "Well, I'm back."
The fingers of this hand are long, small, and somewhat cool. They are very comfortable to hold, but I feel like they will break if I squeeze them too hard, Ji Xiangnian thought.
Fang Ning withdrew her hand, feeling that Ji Xiangnian's large and powerful touch had not yet dissipated.
Although it was the first time she met Ji Xiangnian, Fang Ning had already adapted to the identity of the contract wife and the identity of the contract marriage partner very well.
She said politely and appropriately: "Mr. Ji, the car is outside. Are you going home next or do you have other plans?"
Just at this time, the driver handed Fang Ning the bouquet of flowers she had just bought. Halfway through the journey, Fang Ning always felt that it was not good to receive someone empty-handed, so she bought a bouquet of flowers when passing by a flower shop.
Of course, these flowers are not roses given between lovers, but a few sunflowers that represent sunshine, cheerfulness and positivity.
Fang Ning handed the bouquet to Ji Xiangnian.
Ji Xiangnian's eyes showed some doubt, Fang Ning explained: "I give it to you as a gift to welcome you back."
"Thank you." Ji Xiangnian took it, his tone neither intimate nor distant, and he behaved his role as a marriage partner very appropriately.
In just a few minutes, the two of them talked politely and appropriately, fully demonstrating their identities as partners in a contract marriage.
The way the two of them got along made the assistant following behind them open his eyes wide.
What's going on? He feels that there's something wrong with the relationship between this couple.
He didn't understand why he saw a kind of friendship between this couple. No, no, no, they shouldn't be friends.
What is it……
The assistant thought about it for a few seconds, then clapped his hands.
The assistant figured out that the relationship between the two was just like his relationship with his colleague. When working, he and his colleague cooperated to solve problems together and faced the evil capitalists together. They were neither too close nor too unfamiliar with each other, but polite and decent!
That’s right! That's the situation! Their conversation now is very much like this! It’s a partnership relationship! !
Wait, what is going on? Why does he see this kind of situation in his boss and his boss’ wife?
If he remembered correctly, this person was indeed his boss's wife, not the company's partner.
The assistant felt that his brain was really not enough, very not enough. Is this how the world of the rich is?
Don’t understand! ! I really don't understand.
The assistant was still confused. Ji Xiangnian suddenly remembered that he had some things to do at the company. He turned around and looked at the assistant: "By the way, you take the detailed information of this acquisition to the company and give yourself two days off. When you come back, prepare the cooperation information with the City Government of A. We'll leave first."
After saying this, Ji Xiangnian left his assistant behind and left with Fang Ning.
assistant:"…………"
————
The two got in the car, with the driver in the front and the two sitting in the back.
Ji Xiangnian was not a talkative person to begin with, and the two of them were not familiar with each other. Fang Ning didn't know what to say to him, and the driver didn't say much either, he just focused on driving.
So for a moment, the car fell into an eerie silence, and there was an inexplicable awkwardness.
Fang Ning glanced over and looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the car window.
Pursed her lips.
It seems that the contract between her and Ji Xiangnian was for three years or several years.
If she felt like this when they first got together, how could she endure three years? After all, they would be a marriage partner for several years.
So after thinking about it, Fang Ning decided to speak up and get familiar with the other party.
Consider it.
Fang Ning tilted her head and asked politely, "Is your business trip going smoothly?"
Ji Xiangnian seemed to be thinking about something troubling him, his face was tired, Fang Ning's sudden question interrupted his thoughts, he was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Work is going well."
Things in the United States have finally been settled these days, and Gu Ming is relieved to have completed the follow-up work there. However, he will have to rest for a few days, as he will probably be busy again in China.
After Ji Xiangnian said this, Fang Ning didn't know what to say.
Is this person's mouth gilded? If you say one or two more words, you will lose money.
If it were Ji Xiangyi and the others, she would never be so embarrassed. In her eyes, Ji Xiangyi and Ji Xiangchen were just little brothers and sisters, so there was no such thing as embarrassment.
But Ji Xiangnian was different. This man had such a strong aura that she couldn't keep a distance from him. She was afraid that if she asked too many questions, the other party would be annoyed, but if she asked too few questions, that would not be good either.
Ji Xiangnian now turned his attention to Fang Ning.
Fang Ning frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows after a while. She pulled her hair and pursed her lips. No one knew what she was worried about. Compared to the quiet days during her wedding, her facial expression now looked much more lively.
It seemed that he was also matching the eloquent Fang Ning on the phone.
"By the way, thank you for what happened that day."
Fang Ning hesitated for a while, then remembered the day when she helped Ji Xiangnian and herself, and found a topic to talk about.
"If it weren't for you, I might not have known what to do that day."
"Thanks."
Ji Xiangnian raised his eyes with a puzzled look. He didn't know which incident Fang Ning was talking about. There had been too many things happening recently and he didn't know what Fang Ning was talking about.
Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Fang Ning explained to him: "It's about the matter at my agency."
When it comes to this matter, Fang Ning starts talking without any worries in her heart.
"Hahahaha, you have no idea how funny those people's expressions were after you made the call that day. I was afraid that others would say I was too proud, so I had a hard time holding it in."
"Also, I didn't expect Xiang Yi to have such a strong aura. When she spoke that day, our boss didn't dare to say anything."
"Anyway, no matter what, I still have to thank you..."
Fang Ning is a talkative person. Once she doesn't feel embarrassed, she will talk nonstop.
When Ji Xiangnian heard the word "Xiang Yi", his nerves stopped reflexively.
He remembered that it was Xiang Yi who called him that day and asked him to go and solve Fang Ning's problem himself.
Ji Xiangnian's eyes flickered across Fang Ning's face for a few times. When Fang Ning said "Xiang Yi", there was an unconscious sense of closeness and intimacy in her eyes.
This made him fall into deep thought. When did Fang Ning become so familiar with Xiang Yi? He knew his younger brothers and sisters’ personalities best.
Xiang Yi inherited his father's cold personality, and so did Xiang Yi.
My father was only cold towards outsiders and at work, but he was full of enthusiasm and tenderness towards the four of them and my mother.
Xiang Yi is different. She is indifferent to everyone equally, and has the same attitude towards outsiders and other people.
In Ji Xiangnian's opinion, given his sister's cold personality, it was impossible for her to be so enthusiastic towards Fang Ning, whom she had only known for a few days.
The fact that Xiang Yi helped Fang Ning was really beyond his expectations.
Ji Xiangnian looked at Fang Ning, his eyes filled with confusion.
————
Fang Ning gritted her teeth and talked for half an hour before finally arriving at the Ji family villa. She felt like she had finally gotten rid of the heavy responsibility and felt a lot more relaxed.
Neither of them had lunch, as the aunt at home had already prepared the meal in advance.
The two sat down to eat. While they were eating, the housekeeper suddenly came over with a takeaway box.
The takeaway box is very beautifully packaged, different from the ordinary takeaway bags.
This is an exquisite boxed takeaway with a very pretty pattern printed on the packaging.
Looks a lot like snack cookies.
Fang Ning felt that it looked familiar, very much like the very good and delicious snacks she had eaten at Ji Xiangchen's place before.
Ji Xiangnian asked: "What is this, a snack?"
But he remembered that in the past, the snacks were usually made by the chef at home, so why did he suddenly order takeout today?
Butler Li nodded, put the takeaway gift box on the table, and explained, "It's like this, this is the takeaway that Master Xiang Chen ordered for Madam. Master Xiang Chen said that on the day when he was on the set, he saw that Madam really liked to eat this snack, so he ordered it for her today."
Manager Li spread out the dim sum takeaway box. The dim sum inside was very exquisite. The lid of the box had just been opened.
A rich milky aroma wafted into Fang Ning's nose, and her eyes lit up when she saw it.
Some time ago on the set, she saw Ji Xiangchen eating some delicious-looking dessert. She happened to be hungry at that time, so she asked Ji Xiangchen for a few pieces.
It was indeed a very delicious cookie. I casually asked where the snack was bought from. I didn't expect Ji Xiangchen to be so thoughtful after so many years.
Ji Xiangnian looked at the snacks on the table with an unpredictable look in his eyes. He frowned and looked at the takeaway snacks that Xiang Chen ordered for Fang Ning.
When did their relationship get this good?
He was away on business for only a few days, just a week.
Xiang Chen has a hot temper and is not a careful person.
Ordering takeout for others doesn't seem like something he would do...
It’s Xiang Yi and Xiang Chen again…
Ji Xiangnian calmly turned his gaze to Fang Ning's face. What on earth had happened in the past few days...
There were a lot of snacks, and Fang Ning was about to push the snacks across the table, but at this moment, the cell phone on the table rang.
Fang Ning looked at the caller and saw it was Ji Xiangchen.
Fang Ning was holding chopsticks in her hand, so it was inconvenient for her to hold the phone, so she simply turned on the speaker.
As soon as I opened it, Ji Xiangchen's voice came over: "Did you receive the takeaway I ordered for you?"
