Chapter 101 Marriage Change
Ji Yanxing was standing while she was sitting, one higher than the other. In this posture, he lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly for half a minute.
"Mrs. Ji," he suppressed the sweet taste in his throat, raised the corners of his lips, and put on the same negotiating posture as her, "We are going to spend our whole lives together. If you can't even stand your wedding photos, how are you going to spend the remaining decades?"
"You might consider letting me go."
"Don't think about it," Ji Yanxing smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile. He pulled the corners of his mouth, "You can adjust your mindset. After all, there are still decades to go. I suggest you choose to live happily."
"If I could, I would definitely choose to forget," Yu Nian folded his hands, "It's a pity that my memory is pretty good."
Yu Nian didn't want to waste time on a standoff with him, so she made her attitude clear, "If you don't take down the wedding photos, I'll sleep in the second bedroom or the guest room. If you take them down, I'll sleep in the master bedroom."
Ji Yanxing narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I'll have someone take it down tomorrow, and you can sleep in the master bedroom."
Yu Nian hummed, stood up and walked around him, "Okay, I'll go back to my room first."
She didn't have the ability to get a divorce, but she couldn't jump into the abyss of Ji Yanxing.
When they had their first quarrel right after they got married, her brain sounded the alarm, thinking that he would be the abyss of her life. Her mind reminded her that she should stay away from him, but in the end, she was unwilling to give in and jumped in like a moth to a flame.
Falling into some pits the first time is courageous, but falling into them the second time is foolish.
The next day at work, Tian Tian entered the office holding a pile of documents. "Lawyer Yu, I have scanned the electronic version of the document you requested and sent it to your email. This is the paper version."
"Thank you for your hard work." Tian Tian put down the documents and breathed a sigh of relief. "Lawyer Yu, are you working overtime tonight?"
Yu Nian looked up from the documents and said in a teasing tone, "Why, are you planning to work overtime with me? I'll give you three times the overtime pay."
Tian Tian: “…” She just didn’t understand why Lawyer Yu had taken on so many cases recently. Yesterday, he told her that he would also take cases with a value of one million. According to the past, the cases sent to Lawyer Yu were worth at least over 100 million.
I also heard that Lawyer Yu's family is very wealthy. Although he usually dresses in a low-key manner, it is not difficult to tell that his clothes are of expensive quality. The bags he carries also start from six figures.
Is your family bankrupt and short of money?
Tian Tian muttered a few words when she went out, and Qiao Siyun heard them. When they were having lunch together, she asked tentatively: "Did your marriage with your boss break up?"
Qiao Siyun asked this question based on rigorous logical reasoning.
She learned from Su Miao that Yu Nian's husband was actually the president of Ji Group. She also knew that they were in different places. In the past three years, Yu Nian did not take many cases, half as many as she did.
On the one hand, Yu Nian attaches more importance to the quality of the case and chooses cases that are high in difficulty and require high legal fees. On the other hand, she goes to Australia once or twice a month and is too busy to handle too many cases.
But since the beginning of the month, she has been taking cases like crazy. Almost every case that comes to her will be taken on as long as she thinks it is not a big deal. She also works a lot of overtime, and she works overtime at the law firm. You should know that even if she worked overtime before, she always worked at home.
The most important thing is that Qiao Siyun discovered that the ring she had always worn on her hand had not been worn for the past two days, which was obviously a sign of divorce.
Hearing Qiao Siyun's question, Yu Nian did not deny: "I want to change, but I can't."
"?" Qiao Siyun looked at her with confusion.
Yu Nian took a sip of water and explained concisely: "Ours is a business marriage, and I don't have much say."
Qiao Siyun came from an ordinary family and could not understand her concerns. He sighed and changed the subject, "Then just get into work. After all, the lawyer fees you get are real, and money will never let you down."
Yu Nian curled her lips and said, "Lawyer Qiao is right."
-
Yu Nian has filled his work schedule during this period. He has to go on a business trip tomorrow, and will work overtime at the law firm until nine o'clock tonight before driving back home.
Around 6:30, Aunt Liu called her. She said she was working overtime and would not be going home for dinner, so she hung up the phone.
It was almost half past nine when I returned to the villa. The servants had all gone off work at this time. The street lights in the yard emitted a light yellow, creating a hazy atmosphere. Yu Nian walked into the room in high heels.
When I opened the door, the room was filled with bright light.
The light suddenly changed from dark to bright, causing her pupils to shrink. She was stunned and subconsciously looked towards the living room, where she saw Ji Yanxing sitting on the sofa.
Hearing the noise, he lifted his eyelids and looked at her.
There were a few cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table. He had a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke covered his face. From Yu Nian's perspective, she could see his gloomy and cold eyes, looking at her without saying a word.
Yu Nian stood there for a few seconds, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she raised her leg and prepared to go upstairs. As soon as she took a step, her voice rang out behind her. Perhaps because he smoked a lot, his voice was hoarse from the cigarettes. "You plan to stay at home at a different time than me?"
Normally they would get up at about the same time in the morning and have breakfast together, but this morning he waited until nine o'clock and she didn't get up, and she didn't come back for dinner in the evening. If he hadn't been waiting in the living room, she would have gone to bed, washed up, and gone to sleep, so she wouldn't have to see him.
It was as if this place was just a hotel for her to sleep in.
Yu Nian paused, turned around and looked at him, standing there and looking at him, "I've been busy with work recently, so I stayed in the law firm to work overtime."
"And in the morning?"
"I slept."
Ji Yanxing looked at her, "You rarely sleep on weekdays."
Yu Nian said calmly: "Do you really have to listen to me tell the truth? The truth is not very pleasant to hear."
Ji Yanxing's pupils shrank slightly. What she said was equivalent to admitting that she was deliberately avoiding him and didn't want to appear in the same space with him.
Should he be glad that she was willing to lie and make excuses instead of saying it outright?
After Yu Nian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go upstairs. When he entered the bedroom, Ji Yanxing followed him in. Yu Nian frowned and turned back to look at him, "You promised me that we would have separate rooms..."
"Can't we do it twice a month?" He interrupted her, licked his lips, and smiled in his peach blossom eyes, but the smile was covered with a layer of cold light, "Let's do it tonight."
Yu Nian's body stiffened instinctively.
Ji Yanxing observed her reaction and looked at her trembling eyelashes. He raised his hand to loosen her long hair that had been tied up for convenience. Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, making her neck look as white as snow.
If he doesn't do something, she will always treat him as air, Ji Yanxing thought lightly, leaning over slightly, pressing against her neck, just right on her artery, feeling her pulse.
