Chapter 328 It would be best to turn a fake relationship into a real one, so everyone can be happy.
Before Liang Yizhi could respond, Ji Ying suddenly pushed him away even harder.
"Go ahead and meet him! Hurry up and go, and it would be best if this fake encounter became real, then everyone would be happy!"
Liang Yizhi didn't look at his phone; he simply raised his hand and ended the call.
On the other end of the phone, Yue Zheng held his phone, secretly annoyed.
I must be out of my mind! How could the gentleman possibly leave at this time?
Liang Yizhi once again held Ji Ying in his arms, letting her twist and turn as she resisted, but his arms remained as still as iron hoops, though he still had to coax her.
"The last time I interrupted the meeting to go to the jewelry counter to see her, it was all for show. My wife is so understanding and perceptive, doesn't she understand that I had no choice?"
"Don't flatter me. She has ulterior motives towards you. Can't you see that?"
Liang Yizhi frowned. "What does it matter to me if she has feelings for me? Is it my fault if other women also have feelings for me?"
Ji Ying was being extremely unreasonable at this moment, "I don't care, it's all because you're attracting so many suitors, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
When words failed to soothe her, Liang Yizhi simply grabbed the back of her head and kissed her again.
It went deeper and deeper.
After a short while, both of them became a little out of breath.
Ji Ying's lips were a luscious color, indescribably alluring.
Liang Yizhi tried to calm his breathing and said in a hoarse voice, "Lack of sleep is what makes you irritable. I have a rest room here, you can take a nap here."
"I'm not going..."
As soon as Ji Ying finished speaking, the hand on her clothes tightened its grip.
As if the last bit of strength had been drained from her body, she went limp in his arms.
This time, whether she goes or not is not up to her.
Liang Yizhi decisively picked the person up and carried them to the lounge...
Ji Ying didn't get enough rest last night because she was drunk, and she slept straight through until it was time to get off work.
During that time, she had a dream in which she turned back into her teenage self, carrying something very important, and ran alone into that abandoned kindergarten...
The moment I woke up, a piercing pain shot through my head.
She took a moment to calm herself before getting up and leaving the lounge.
Outside, Jiang Ran had arrived at some point and was standing in front of Liang Yizhi's large desk, her brow furrowed in worry.
Liang Yizhi's expression was equally somber.
Ji Ying subconsciously assumed that Liang Yizhi was ultimately angry because of Bai Ning's matter, and since she couldn't blame her, she wanted to hold the people around her responsible for the fight.
So she quickly stepped forward, walked up to Liang Yizhi, and looked directly at him.
"Jiang Ran is my person. I ordered her to do it. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens. It has nothing to do with her."
Liang Yizhi was taken aback by her words. After understanding what she meant, he got up and pulled her into his arms, his tone filled with helpless affection.
"Madam is too protective of her own people. I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already jumping in. Am I a mean person who criticizes subordinates?"
Jiang Ran quickly explained, "Madam, the master didn't blame me. We were discussing serious matters."
Ji Ying realized she had misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Liang Yizhi noticed her subtle embarrassment, gently wrapped his arm around her, but understood what was going on in his heart.
Although she knew that her relationship with Bai Ning was just a charade, she could accept it rationally. But emotionally, who could remain indifferent to someone who truly liked another person?
The more you care, the more you'll nitpick, even if it's not true.
"Um..." Ji Ying got out of his arms, "You're busy, I'll go first."
As she turned around, Liang Yizhi grabbed her hand.
"What do you mean, 'leave first'? I'm not working overtime today."
Seeing his posture as if he wanted to accompany her, Ji Ying was slightly taken aback, then asked inquisitively, "I'm not angry anymore, aren't you going to pretend to coax her?"
Liang Yizhi smiled, but his brows furrowed.
"Is your husband a central air conditioner? You want me to coax her... Don't even mention this life, she won't have that kind of luck in the next life either."
Liang Yizhi tightened his grip, completely enveloping her hand in his palm, and led her outside.
"Now, it's more important to go home and have dinner with my wife."
...
In the following days, Ji Ying did not hear any more news about Bai Ning.
Liang Yizhi turned down all unnecessary social engagements and went home to be with her almost every night.
With Shen Ruofu still hospitalized and temporarily unable to cause trouble, Ji Ying enjoyed a few rare days of peace and quiet.
However, Shen Jingxiu heard some rumors and called to inquire.
Liang Yizhi didn't explain, and Shen Jingxiu, as his father-in-law, gave him a severe dressing-down.
That afternoon, Ji Ying had just picked up a document in her office when her phone rang.
It was Shu Tang calling.
"Yingying, tonight's charity gala will be attended by many prominent figures from Beijing. You must come too. I'll introduce you to them; these will be part of your future network in Beijing."
A charity gala?
Ji Ying's tone clearly indicated that she had not heard of it.
Shu Tang was surprised, "I sent Liang Yizhi an invitation three days ago."
Ji Ying immediately understood that Liang Yizhi had no intention of taking her with him at all, but rather wanted to use this opportunity to bring Bai Ning into the public eye and continue his "acting" plan.
But she had her own plans.
If this is not implemented, then Bai Ning's beating will have been for nothing.
"Please send me a separate invitation."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ying had a meaningful smile on her face.
A smart woman will never allow her husband to "play along" with other women for too long.
Bai Ning needs to be put to use immediately.
Around four or five in the afternoon, Liang Yizhi sent her a message saying that he had a social engagement that evening and would be home late.
Ji Ying only replied with an "okay".
Shu Tang held her charity gala at the same old place.
Ji Ying wore a simple yet expensive dress and entered the Amber Hall just as the banquet was about to begin.
Liang Yizhi has arrived and is chatting with his colleagues.
Bai Ning, who was standing next to Ji Ying, panicked for a moment and instinctively moved closer to Liang Yizhi for protection.
Ji Ying's arrival was like a bright pearl shining, causing quite a stir in the direction of the entrance.
Liang Yizhi, of course, noticed it as well.
He patted Bai Ning's hand and whispered reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, she's here for the banquet, not to hit you."
But this reassurance only made Bai Ning more panicked.
"I...I need to go to the restroom."
After saying that, he lowered his head and hurriedly left.
Shu Tang greeted Ji Ying at the main entrance and took her hand, leading her towards Liang Yizhi.
"You look so beautiful today! Look at the way everyone is looking at you. You've stolen the spotlight from all the socialites tonight."
Ji Ying smiled very faintly, "Don't worry, in your husband's eyes, you will always be the most beautiful."
As she spoke, Ji Ying's gaze fell upon Pang Shijun, who was standing not far away.
He came too, that's great.
The two nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
As Liang Yizhi watched her approach, his eyes betrayed no emotion. He simply said, "So Madam wanted to come. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Ji Ying stopped in front of him, a faint smile curving her red lips, her voice clear yet distant.
“Mr. Liang, you misunderstand. I am here tonight in my personal capacity and not on behalf of anyone else.”
As she spoke, she deliberately showed off the floral ring on her index finger.
This move undoubtedly demonstrates to those around her her independence and self-sovereignty within this marital relationship.
Liang Yizhi's gaze lingered on the ring on her finger for a moment, then a helpless yet indulgent smile appeared on his face.
Over there, in the restroom.
After touching up her makeup, Bai Ning took out her perfume and sprayed it on her body several times.
This perfume contains a new type of potent aphrodisiac; if you smell it long enough, it can ignite a burning passion in the other person's heart.
On the way here, Liang Yizhi felt a bit disgusted by the strong perfume she was wearing, so he turned on the car's ventilation system.
Having missed such a good opportunity, she would now stay by his side every step of the way, letting him smell her scent to his heart's content.
Bai Ning was determined to win over Liang Yizhi tonight and get pregnant with his child so that she could use her son to force Ji Ying out and change her fate.
However, when she composed herself and came out of the restroom to find Liang Yi, she was stopped by someone by the pillar.
Ji Ying stood there calmly, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.
