Chapter 375 The protective and devoted woman VS The soft-hearted man who harbors a grudge 33
Hearing his words, Jiang Zhiyi paused, turned her head to look again, and then saw the things on the table.
She almost forgot about something so important; it would be terrible if she really got pregnant.
She threw back the covers, grabbed the medicine, and took it without hesitation.
"I will never have your child! You're dreaming." With that, she shrank further under the covers.
Fu Chengyan found it a bit strange; her mind changed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, she didn't want to take her medicine one minute and wanted to take it the next.
He went to the wardrobe next to him, took out a bathrobe, and then pulled the naked person out of the quilt and forcibly put the clothes on her.
"Wake up and go downstairs to eat. You've been hungry for so long, your stomach will feel uncomfortable later."
Jiang Zhiyi wanted to resist, but she couldn't muster any strength in her hands, and she was indeed starving.
After thinking about it, she let him dress her.
After washing up, she went downstairs in her slippers, walking with a swaying gait and an odd posture.
Fu Chengyan followed behind her and simply picked her up in his arms.
"I'll walk by myself, let go." She was still angry and didn't want him to touch her, struggling and kicking her legs.
However, he still didn't let go, and she had already kicked her slippers off her feet.
"Now that your shoes are gone, I'll have to carry you back later."
He whispered gloating in her ear, unable to suppress his laughter.
Jiang Zhiyi reached out and scratched his face.
"I'll tie those claws up with a rope one of these days. How dare you scratch me? Look at what you scratched me like last night!"
His body was covered in bloodstains.
"You brought this on yourself, you deserve it. Who told you to deliberately scare me? I'm being lenient by not scratching you to death."
She looked down at her fingernails.
Although the nails aren't very long, the pointed shape they're shaped can easily scratch someone.
Her thoughts were drawn to the shine on her nails.
These are all covered with real diamonds, which sparkle under the light and are very beautiful.
Fu Chengyan also looked down and glanced at it a few times.
...
A few days later.
Jiang Zhiyi was pruning flowers and plants in the courtyard of the fortune-telling shop.
The courtyard is planted with many flowers, most of which are very rare varieties, and they are cared for by dedicated staff.
However, she also grows a few ordinary flowers and plants herself, which she takes care of personally.
There was no other way; those precious plants were too delicate and would easily die if she wasn't careful. Only these few plants could withstand her rough treatment.
"There's a bug." A voice suddenly rang out from behind.
"Ah—" Jiang Zhiyi was startled.
He lost his grip on the scissors in his right hand and accidentally poked the back of his left hand, cutting a large gash.
The wound began to bleed.
"You..." Ji Chen didn't expect things to turn out like this. "Come with me. The doctor who examined me hasn't left yet. I'll have him treat your wounds."
Not long after, after the bandage was finished, Ji Chen apologized to her again: "It was my fault today, I caused you to get hurt, I'm sorry."
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head. She didn't blame him, after all, it wasn't intentional. "It's okay."
He glanced at her; her gaze was curiously taking in the furnishings of the room. He then said, "You can choose anything you want from this room. Consider it my apology."
Jiang Zhiyi was quite interested in his place. She had never been here before, and he was usually the one who came to her. It was indeed a novelty for her.
"Let me take a look."
“Okay.” He led her around the house; the rooms upstairs were filled with his collection.
"What's in this room? Alcohol?"
She looked at the round table in the room, on which sat a ceramic wine pot and several wine cups, the white pot decorated with elegant blue and white patterns.
"You really know how to enjoy yourself," she couldn't help but remark.
I shook the wine pot; there was still half a pot of wine inside.
"Can I drink it? I'd like to try it." Even before she had tasted it, she could smell the rich aroma of the wine.
“Of course, this is fine wine.” Ji Chen nodded. “Let me have a drink with you.”
The two were drinking inside the house.
Jiang Zhiyi felt that her alcohol tolerance was pretty good, so she drank quite a bit.
She felt she wasn't drunk yet, and her mind was clear, but she was starting to talk more and her face was turning red.
Ji Chen casually asked about his godfather.
Jiang Zhiyi's anger inexplicably flared up, and she couldn't help but start accusing him, saying that she would teach him a lesson.
She was indeed frustrated. Perhaps Fu Chengyan really was going to force her to be a third party in their marriage, and she didn't want to have any illegitimate children...
"But I can only think about it. I can't teach him a lesson, I can only curse him in secret. He could crush me with one finger, I'm just a tiny ant."
Ji Chen couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Then why don't you ask someone for help?"
“I can’t find anyone…” She blinked, then stared straight at him again.
"You...can you do it? I know you're very capable."
He raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued, and asked, "Oh? What do you know?"
Jiang Zhiyi pursed her lips, unsure of where to begin. "I... never mind, I don't want to say anything more. The more I say, the more mistakes I'll make, and I'll get myself into trouble."
"I don't blame you, so what can't I say?"
She hesitated for a moment, "I know why this place can't be demolished. There's an ancestral home of a big shot here, and no one dares to touch this land. All construction has to go around it. Are you that big shot? Or are you a relative of his?"
"Where did you hear that from?" He neither admitted nor denied it.
"I don't remember." She was about to pour herself some more wine.
Seeing that she was probably a little drunk, Ji Chen stopped her from drinking anymore.
She got emotional and forcefully reached out to grab it, saying, "You said you'd buy me a drink to apologize, I want to drink!"
The two had an argument.
She stood up and lunged at him, but to her surprise, she couldn't even stand up straight and fell onto him.
He supported her, and her head rested on his shoulder, her warm breath floating on his face.
As if remembering something, he added, "You're right, I can indeed help you. However... I can't just help people casually. What benefits can you offer me? Or, in what capacity can I help you?"
She smiled, a faint smile on her lips, when a bold idea suddenly rose in her mind.
The things she wouldn't have dared to do before no longer seemed to have much of a deterrent effect at this moment.
After all, strictly speaking, she and Fu Chengyan had absolutely no relationship.
She's single, so naturally she has no constraints.
That evening, Jiang Zhiyi returned home and sent a message to Fu Chengyan saying that she had something to do and wouldn't be able to come over for the next few days.
After that, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Standing in front of the mirror, the air was misty, and I could only vaguely see my own reflection.
She reached out and wiped the mirror, and the image in the mirror temporarily regained some clarity, but it was quickly shrouded in new mist again.
Her heart suddenly started beating very fast.
My heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest, and even the rushing water beside me couldn't drown out the frantic sound.
Amidst the unease and tension, there was also a subtle feeling...
Pleasure? No, you can't say that.
She couldn't define this feeling for the time being.
Jiang Zhiyi suddenly recalled the man's gentle whisper in her ear that afternoon.
