Chapter 185 Liang Yizhi raised his hand and turned off the light.
"Please stop talking!!"
Liang Jian was pale and breathing rapidly, as if he was trying hard to prevent himself from having an attack.
"You go first, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
Liang Weiyue remained silent, but he had already agreed to his son's decision.
Ji Ying lifted her foot and left.
As she passed Xie Lingfang, she stopped and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, with a mocking expression only the other could see, whispered:
"Signing the agreement doesn't mean you've sold me out. Don't mistake my cooperation for weakness. If you make me unhappy again, I guarantee you'll regret ever messing with me."
After saying that, she chuckled and continued walking away.
"Honey! She's threatening me!"
However, Liang Weiyue's voice was filled with cold disappointment.
"Look at the mess you've made! Using such despicable means to ruin a woman's reputation, you've completely disgraced the Liang family! You... feel like a stranger to me."
Xie Lingfang was stunned, frozen in disbelief.
However, Liang Weiyue didn't want to say another word and left her behind as he walked out.
Xie Lingfang turned to Liang Jian, her voice trembling.
"Son, your father actually dislikes me because of that woman."
Liang Jian frowned, his tone heavy, "Mom, over the years, you've used all sorts of methods to drive away so many women from Dad's life. Just because he doesn't say anything doesn't mean he doesn't care. I've advised you to stop long ago, but you never listen. Now you've even laid a hand on my fiancée. Have you considered my feelings?"
"Why are you blaming me too? I'm your mother, and everything I've done is for you."
Liang Jian looked somewhat tired. "Thank you for doing so much for me. But I want to walk my own path."
After saying that, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then left her behind.
As Ji Ying walked out of the teahouse, a Hongqi sedan slowly stopped in front of her.
She paused for a moment, then opened the car door and got in.
"Why are you here?" she asked, somewhat surprised.
On the way here, she only notified Liang Jian and... She didn't have Liang Weiyue's phone number, but she notified his office director.
Liang Yizhi did not answer, but pulled her into his arms and carefully checked her for any injuries.
His fingertips brushed against her neck, causing a slight tickle.
Ji Ying pushed him away. "He didn't touch me, but he almost bullied your sister-in-law."
Liang Yizhi paused, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, before a slight smile appeared on his lips. "It's good that you can protect yourself now."
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to say a few words for your sister-in-law? Your brother's face, your nephew's face, and the face of all the men in the Liang family."
He held her tighter, pressed his cheek against hers, and whispered, "What do other people's reputations matter to me? My reputation isn't as important as yours."
Ji Ying was pleased by his words and laughed happily.
"You haven't told me yet, how did you know I was here?"
Liang Yizhi's hand was still around her waist, and he leaned back in his chair.
He looked at her and replied with only four words, "We are of one mind."
Never mind.
Ji Ying tried to get off his lap, but he held her firmly.
She then realized that the car had already entered the elevated highway.
Where are we going?
He pinched her chin, his tone somewhat matter-of-fact, "It's getting dark. If you don't go home, where else do you think you're going?"
Ji Ying was speechless for a moment.
She didn't speak, so Liang Yizhi started playing with her hair.
He would wrap his fingers around a strand of her hair, loop it twice, and then let go, enjoying it immensely.
She frowned, "rescued" the strand of hair, and grabbed his wrist, "warning" him, "If you dare to pull out a single hair from my head, you're dead."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi chuckled softly.
The laughter resonated from deep within his chest, carrying a rare, unguarded joy.
He rarely shows such a relaxed demeanor in front of outsiders.
Xue Qin, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and couldn't help but sigh softly.
I had privately suggested that he find an opportunity to take two strands of Ms. Ji's hair for testing.
However, the boss neither put his suggestion into action nor rejected it.
Is the boss hesitating, weighing his options, or... afraid?
He didn't understand this.
The car was parked downstairs at the apartment building.
Ji Ying got off Liang Yizhi's lap.
Strangely enough, the man was extremely honest this time.
Since returning from Chushi, I have kissed her every time we meet, but this time I only managed a hug.
"I'll go up now, goodbye."
After saying that, she pushed open the door and got out of the car.
However, to her surprise, the man behind her also took a long stride and got out of the car.
Ji Ying stopped and looked at him in confusion: "Why did you follow me?"
With his hands in his trouser pockets, Liang Yizhi walked calmly toward the building entrance. As he passed her, he simply said, "Go upstairs."
Ji Ying followed him into the elevator, watching him expertly press the button for her floor, her questions growing ever more numerous.
The elevator slowly ascended, and the atmosphere in the cramped space was subtle.
She couldn't help but scrutinize his sharply defined profile, and tentatively asked, "Didn't you say it was late and you should go home early?"
Liang Yizhi glanced at the floor number, a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Are you thinking about why I didn't kiss you today?"
Ji Ying's face suddenly turned red, and she stopped looking at him.
The elevator doors opened, and she strode out, but Liang Yizhi walked right beside her.
Ji Ying stopped at the door of her apartment and was about to turn around and ask him what he wanted when she saw the man walk to the door of the empty apartment next to hers and enter the password.
The door opened, and Ji Ying was startled.
"you……"
Liang Yizhi turned to look at her, a triumphant smile in his eyes. "We'll be neighbors from now on, Miss Ji. Please take care of me."
Ji Ying rushed over, pushed him aside, and stepped into the house first.
The lights were on, and the whole room was clean and bright. The furniture was all brand new and had obviously been arranged in advance.
So when he asked, "Why not buy this place?" that day, it wasn't just a casual question.
"When will you..."
Ji Ying turned around, but before she could finish her question, Liang Yizhi pressed her against the wall by the door.
The man's kiss arrived as expected, not only not absent, but more intense and profound than ever before.
Ji Ying couldn't take it anymore and pushed him away.
But this time, instead of letting go of her properly, he reached out and turned off the light.
With a click, Ji Ying's eyes widened.
But the man didn't give her a chance to hesitate, and grabbed her hand that she was trying to hide...
Ji Ying fled back to her apartment, slammed the door shut, and leaned against the cold door, breathing heavily.
The living room lights were off, and in the darkness, I could almost hear my own deafening heartbeat.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her hand, which had felt hardness and intensity, was now burning hot.
Originally, she had traditional and virtuous values, and after leaving Gu Yanshen, it took her a long time to accept a second man.
But Liang Yizhi gradually broke down her inhibitions with a series of probing questions.
And this breakthrough is limited to him only.
Ji Ying's heart was in turmoil because of him.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
