Chapter 86: Tripping
A night of beautiful spring scenery.
At some point, Ji Wan felt that he had moved from the sofa to a large, soft bed. His body felt very refreshed, as if someone had tidied him up in his sleep.
She curled up her body, and in a daze, she felt as if she was embraced by a bigger and warmer embrace, making her feel very solid and safe.
Chi Wenyan opened his eyes, and there was no trace of alcohol in his eyes. He half-hugged Ji Wan's slender waist and gently kissed the top of Ji Wan's head with his lips.
As he kissed her, Ji Wan changed her position to make herself more comfortable in Chi Wenyan's arms. The two of them got closer and more intimate.
Chi Wenyan's arms around Ji Wan's waist slowly tightened. He leaned close to Ji Wan's ear and whispered softly, "Ji Wan, don't leave me, okay?"
In his heart, he felt that Ji Wan was like a kite. Although there was a thin string in his hand, as soon as the wind blew, she wanted to fly farther.
The uneasiness that he couldn't control Ji Wan made Chi Wenyan anxious and worried.
At this time, Ji Wan was tired and sleepy, and her head was a little dizzy from the smell of alcohol. She didn't know whether what she heard was reality or a dream.
In a trance, she heard someone asking her a question, and she only said vaguely, "After I help you take back your family property, maybe you will be the first to leave."
Hearing this, Chi Wenyan felt a dull pain in his heart, as if someone reached out and pinched it. He reached out and traced the outline of Ji Wan's face, and stopped at her lips.
The girl in front of him had her eyes closed, and seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, but there was a hint of imperceptible sadness between her brows. Chi Wenyan didn't say anything else, but slowly hugged Ji Wan again with his hands, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
That night, Ji Wan slept very deeply, and the fatigue in his brain was swept away. Also, because of last night's recklessness, his tense nerves also relaxed.
She reached out her hand and found the quilt next to her was also cold. It seemed that Chi Wenyan had already gotten up and left. Sure enough, when she turned around, she was the only one on the bed.
Opening the curtains, bright sunlight poured into the room through the gauze curtains, illuminating the entire house. Ji Wan felt that this ray of sunlight also shone into his heart, clearing away the haze in it.
But when she wanted to get up, she found her body sore and she almost couldn't stand. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and found a whole set of new toiletries, skin care products and cosmetics in the bathroom, all of her favorite brands.
She was brushing her teeth when she raised her hand and found some ambiguous red marks under the collar of her pajamas. Her sore waist instantly brought Ji Wan's memory back to last night.
Recalling his wolf-like passion last night, Ji Wan blushed and scolded him, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, "What a beast."
After washing up and changing his clothes, Ji Wan was about to leave but was stopped by the servants at home.
"Miss Ji, please wait a moment. Before my husband left, he asked me to prepare breakfast for you and told me to make sure you eat before leaving."
Ji Wan raised his eyebrows. He was a little hungry. He had been busy drinking last night and hadn't eaten anything. So he obediently sat down at the dining table.
Soon, a beautiful sandwich was served on the table, along with a bowl of steaming chicken soup, the aroma of which was mixed with a hint of the bitter smell of Chinese medicine.
"Miss Ji, this is the Astragalus and Codonopsis Qi-replenishing Soup that I made after consulting a Chinese medicine doctor. It is very good for the body, replenishing the kidneys and qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach. Would you like to try it?" The servant introduced very attentively.
When Ji Wan heard that this soup was good for kidney health, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. Compared to himself, Chi Wenyan should need this soup more, right?
But she also happened to think of an interesting thing. Last time she talked to Sun Tian about kidney nourishment, this silly girl thought that only men had kidneys.
Thinking of this, Ji Wan couldn't help but laugh. She lowered her head and took a sip of the soup. It tasted pretty good. It didn't become unpalatable because of the addition of medicinal ingredients. Instead, the taste became more layered.
Early in the morning, after drinking a mouthful of warm soup, a warm current spread from her stomach to her limbs, as if a pair of small hands were gently massaging her, making her feel a lot more energetic.
"It tastes very good, thank you." Ji Wan nodded and thanked the servant. The servant was praised and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face. She hurriedly pushed another thermal box to her.
"Here's another one. The gentleman said that if you like it, you can take it home and enjoy it slowly. I can also cook it for you often in the future."
"I won't take the soup. I have to go back to work at the company, so I won't stay any longer." Ji Wan nodded, got up and left. The servant wanted to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that Ji Wan insisted, he didn't dare to say anything more.
After Ji Wan returned to the company, she started working again. However, her subordinates reported to her that colleagues from other departments seemed to be targeting them. When some tasks were assigned to them, they pretended not to see them and did not respond.
"Manager, you have to go and give them a good scolding, otherwise we really won't be able to carry out our work here."
Ji Wan knew Xiao Liu, who was complaining to her. She was very capable and should not be making excuses, so she simply went straight to the Finance Department where the problem was most obvious. Several reimbursement processes had been deliberately stuck, and the progress of another payment application had not moved at all.
"Manager Ji, we're also very busy. We're not just serving your department. Since you came in person today, I'll do you a favor and work overtime to help you complete this task, but this won't happen again."
The Finance Department manager's words sounded somewhat sarcastic, but one couldn't find any fault with them. Ji Wan keenly felt that he was deliberately targeting him, and he thought the leaders of other departments were also targeting him. So, the employees below would deliberately make things difficult for the employees in their own department, following the example of their superiors.
Ji Wan looked at him seriously and said nothing more. He only left after making sure that he had done his job well and went to Manager Xu's office.
She had just received a message from Manager Xu on her way here.
"Manager Xu, you called me."
"Sit down."
Seeing Ji Wan coming, Manager Xu put down the pen in his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and pointed to a seat for Ji Wan to sit.
He looked at Ji Wan, sighed, and said, "Work didn't go well today, did it?"
"It's okay, I can handle it." Ji Wan nodded in agreement, but he didn't intend to complain. If he couldn't even solve such a small matter, then there was no need for him to bother with it anymore.
"Many senior executives in the company have been secretly won over by Zhou Zechuan. Naturally, they dislike you and want to secretly trip you up. You will have a difficult road ahead." Manager Xu's words were meaningful.
