Chapter 171 With you… I really did 'use my mouth'
“Ji Ying!” Liang Yizhi said seriously, “I’m not joking with you. I’m serious about choosing you.”
Ji Ying bit her lip, her delicate eyebrows slightly arched.
“I’m serious. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have ended up like this. I was forced by a debt of gratitude. Besides, doesn’t Chairman Liang also have a ‘nominal deceased wife’ to protect his home?”
She paused for a moment, then her smile widened.
"We're evenly matched, so neither of us should complain about the other's melodramatic script."
Liang Yizhi was taken aback, almost losing his composure and saying coldly, "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"
“How could I dare?” she feigned innocence, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes. “It was just an act for him to cure his illness, but for you… I really did ‘use my mouth,’ I…”
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Yizhi grabbed her chin and silenced her with a kiss.
What was initially a kiss with a hint of punishment softened when it touched her soft lips.
After a long while, he finally released her, pressing his forehead against hers, and said, "I'm completely smitten."
Ji Ying's breathing was slightly erratic, but she was still smiling. "This is the equipment room. Aren't you afraid someone will come in?"
"Look if you want," he said, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer. "Acting is acting, but you're not allowed to do the things you did to me to that brat, understand?"
That's the tone of a proper wife.
Ji Ying chuckled softly in his arms, "I never realized that Chairman Liang had such a jealous nature."
"This is the first time I've ever liked a woman without any regard for the consequences. If she dares to have a relationship with me that never lasts, I'll keep her by my side and make her act for me every day."
Although he was saying harsh words, Liang Yizhi couldn't help but smile.
Ji Ying walked out of the equipment room first, and as soon as she stepped out, she ran into Xiao Xia, who was carrying flowers.
Seeing her come out of the equipment room, Xiao Xia looked puzzled. "Liang Jian is hospitalized in the equipment room?"
As she spoke, she pretended to go inside, but Ji Ying pulled her away.
She led Xiao Xia to the ward.
Why did you come to see Liang Jian?
Xiao Xia smiled and said, "It's easier to do business if you have a wider circle of friends."
"What about you?" She took a few steps, then her attention returned to Ji Ying. "You came to the hospital as soon as you got back. Why didn't you go home to rest?"
Before Ji Ying could answer, the two had already reached the door of Liang Jian's ward.
She pushed open the door, and Xie Lingfang immediately questioned her: "Did you bring back the medicine that A-Jian needed? Is there any more IV fluid for today? Is A-Jian able to eat normally?"
Ji Ying was stunned, forgetting everything after being kissed by Liang Yizhi.
"The doctor is not in the office."
Xie Lingfang immediately flew into a rage, pointing at her and yelling, "The doctor isn't here, aren't you going to go find him? You can't even care about something this simple, do you even deserve to be my Liang family's prospective daughter-in-law? You're having such an easy time being my fiancée. No wonder Gu Yanchen doesn't want you! I think it would be better to let Miss Chu into the family..."
"Mom, you're tearing us apart!"
Liang Jian's face turned pale and his breathing became rapid. Xie Lingfang was so frightened that she quickly changed her words, "Mom won't say anything more! As long as you like it! We won't break up, we won't break up."
Liang Jian calmed down.
Xie Lingfang looked at Ji Ying again, her voice not as sharp as before, but she still looked like a mean-spirited future mother-in-law.
"Since you're his fiancée, you should act like one. From now on, you'll wash his clothes, stay up all night to keep watch, and prepare breakfast for tomorrow..."
By this point, Xiao Xia had almost figured out what was going on.
She couldn't help but interrupt Xie Lingfang.
“Mrs. Liang, Ji Ying is our company’s technical director. Her project is at a critical stage. If you have her stay here all day, who will handle the work?”
Xie Lingfang said, "Our Liang family will not mistreat her."
Xiao Xia laughed, "She can earn us hundreds of millions from a single deal, how much can Madam Liang give us at once?"
Xie Lingfang was taken aback by her words, and when she saw the flowers in her hand, her eyes suddenly turned contemptuous.
Since Liang Jian was admitted to the hospital, people from all walks of life have been coming to "visit" him. Ostensibly, they are concerned, but secretly they just want to take the opportunity to make their presence felt in front of the Liang family.
After all, the Gu family has lost, and now everyone follows the Liang family's lead.
She immediately snorted and said haughtily, "You've come to see my A-Jian too, haven't you?"
“No,” Xiao Xia said seriously, without a hint of joking, “these carnations are for my mother. But Mr. Liang, you should buy white chrysanthemums.”
Xie Lingfang flew into a rage, "You..."
Xiao Xia raised an eyebrow, interrupting her anger, "My Yingying values relationships, which is why she's temporarily bound by you. But if you dare to use your son to ride roughshod over her, I don't mind letting your son suffer a few more humiliations."
To be considerate of the patient's feelings, she spoke her last sentence in a very low voice.
Xie Lingfang was speechless for a moment.
Ji Ying suppressed her smile and said, "Madam Liang, I have other matters to attend to today, so I'll stop here for now."
As she spoke, she pushed Xiao Xia and led her out.
“Yingying…” Liang Jian was reluctant to part.
Ji Ying turned around and said perfunctorily, "Be good and cooperate with the doctor to recover your memory. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she and Xiao Xia walked out of the ward.
Liang Jian looked dejected. "Mom, could you please stop speaking so harshly to Yingying?"
Xie Lingfang, "..."
On the other end, after Liang Yizhi got into his car after leaving the hospital, he rubbed his temples.
Xue Qin glanced at his boss, whose face was grim, in the rearview mirror and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want Miss Ji to accompany the eldest young master as his 'fiancée'?"
Liang Yizhi turned his gaze to the window, where the hospital building gradually receded into the distance.
He spoke slowly, his voice revealing little emotion, yet carrying a profound clarity.
"She may seem carefree and decisive, but deep down she values relationships more than anyone else. Otherwise, she wouldn't have considered Liang Yanchuan's needs in everything because of Old Master Lin's dying words. Liang Jian almost lost his life for her. If this favor isn't settled now, she'll probably carry it for the rest of her life."
He paused, his fingertips unconsciously tapping his knee.
“She accepts me not because she has to accept another shackle after leaving Gu Yanchen, but because I want her to be relaxed, happy, and without any burden when she is with me.”
Xue Qin nodded at his words, saying, "It's indeed not advisable to make your affair with Miss Ji public right now. It's good that the eldest son is covering for you. Old Master Shen just called, asking you to return to Beijing to explain the mistake of identifying Li Duoyu. He's always been ruthless; if he finds out about Miss Ji's existence, I'm afraid..."
Actually, Liang Yizhi knew this without his reminder, which is why he made Ji Ying wait for him for three years.
"You arrange the itinerary. Take Shen Aizhu to see Ji Ying tonight," Liang Yizhi instructed emotionlessly.
Xue Qin's breath hitched, and his voice carried a hint of hesitation: "The Third Miss is so proud... would she agree?"
