Chapter 144 Identity
There were people coming and going in the mall, and perhaps because the two of them were so good-looking, some people couldn't help but look over there.
Yu Nian didn't want to be watched, so he spoke again: "What's going on?"
Ji Yanxing pulled his lips in self-mockery, and the smile in his eyes was without any warmth, "It's okay, don't forget your date tonight."
"Oh, I see." Yu Nian gave up the idea of asking him for help. "I'm going back."
After saying that, she turned around, took out her cell phone and checked the time.
Just as she took a step, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. The next moment, her back was pressed against a hard and warm chest. Ji Yanxing hugged her from behind with his chin resting on her shoulder.
The rest of my thoughts stayed where they were.
His low and suppressed voice sounded above his head: "Yu Nian, don't you care about me at all?"!
In public, Yu Nian came out of his arms and looked at him puzzledly. Was he angry with her?
What did she do wrong to make him angry?
Ji Yanxing narrowed his eyes, stared at each other quietly for a few seconds, and compromised helplessly, "Didn't you see me walking with a woman?"
Yu Nian told the truth: "I saw it."
"Then why didn't you ask me?"
He wanted her to question him, or get angry with him, but she just shouldn't act so nonchalant.
It was as if she didn't care about him at all.
After a moment of silence, Yu Nian said calmly, "I don't have the authority to manage you." "As long as you nod, it will be available at any time."
Yu Nian said frankly: "I don't want to do it yet."
Ji Yanxing's pupils suddenly shrank and met her calm eyes. She must still like him, so she accepted his kindness to her. If she didn't like him, she would think it was harassment no matter how good he was.
But we are not deeply in love, so we don't want to be bound by status, so that we can get out of it at any time.
Their eyes met, and they remained in a stalemate for several seconds.
"She is Lu Yan's cousin," Ji Yanxing said slowly, "She is from the entertainment industry and wants to be the spokesperson for Ji's jewelry. Lu Yan is in charge of the matchmaking. Let's have a meal together. Jiang Yichen and the others are here."
So that's how it is.
Yu Nian's nerves suddenly relaxed. It was not until this moment that she realized that she was not as carefree as she thought and did not care at all about him appearing alone with another woman.
"Oh," Yu Nian raised his eyes, "then go in quickly."
Ji Yanxing didn't move, staring straight at her: "Don't you care at all who I'm with?"
Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and she twitched her lips: "Of course not, if you don't want to pursue me anymore, you'd better tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared."
"You don't have to prepare yourself mentally for this in your lifetime."
"oh."
Her attitude was lazy, and she didn't care much about what he said. Ji Yanxing felt depressed, and finally said unhappily: "Yu Nian, sooner or later I will be pissed off by you."
Will it bring bad luck if I care about him a little more?
“…”
Yu Nian was dissatisfied with his accusation: "I didn't do anything. It's you who got angry for no reason."
She really didn't do anything.
I just don't love him as much as before.
Obviously, before, whenever he and Ji Yao stood together, she would always ask about their relationship, but now she doesn't care at all.
Because there were so many people in the mall, the two of them stood very close to each other, so close that Yu Nian could see a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Her heartstrings seemed to be suddenly plucked, and she softened, "What do you have to do this afternoon?"
"how?"
"If you're alright, please pick me up at the court gate," Yu Nian expressed her concerns. "My client's husband is mentally unstable, and I'm afraid he might stab me with a knife."
"…Okay, what time?"
Yu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Around six o'clock, you have to be on time."
Ji Yanxing's smile finally reached his eyes, "Okay, bye."
Yu Nian also curled his eyes and said, "Bye."

The afternoon session went smoothly.
Since Dong Qiuping had evidence of domestic violence committed by Liao Ming, Liao Ming was clearly the party at fault. The court not only ruled for the two to divorce, but also awarded Dong Qiuping divorce damages in terms of property.
After the trial, Yu Nian thought of the way Liao Ming glared at her after the judge pronounced the verdict. It was as disgusting and terrifying as being stared at by a poisonous snake. She looked at the time. It was ten minutes to six. She did not leave immediately, but stayed inside for a few minutes until Ji Yanxing sent her a text message: [Is it over?]
Yu Nian: [Okay, I’ll be right out.]
Ji Yanxing: [I'm waiting for you in the parking lot, driving a red sports car. ]
He has quite a few sports cars in his garage, but he usually drives a commercial vehicle. Yu Nian was a little surprised: [Why do you drive a sports car?]
Ji Yanxing: [After dinner, I'll take you for a ride. A sports car is more romantic. ]
“…”
Yu Nian couldn't help but curl her lips and sent him an "OK" emoticon.
Coming out of the court, the sky was orange-red, with large patches of sunset glow covering the sky. The setting sun was like liquid salted duck egg yolk. Yu Nian was in a good mood. He took out his cell phone, took a beautiful picture, and sent it to Ji Yanxing.
[I took this photo. Isn’t it beautiful? ]
Ji Yanxing immediately responded to her with three thumbs-up emojis.
Yu Nian: "..."
No fun.
She curled her lips, put away her phone, and looked in the direction of the parking lot. Ji Yanxing seemed to have seen her as well, started the engine and walked towards her.
The curve of Yu Nian's lips deepened, and he quickened his pace towards his car.
There was a red light ahead, so she gestured with her finger for him to stay put. There was no way to park here, so she could just walk over.
From a distance that was neither too far nor too close, she saw the man in the sports car raise his eyebrows at her, as if he saw through her expectations for the date.
Yu Nian did not hide her joy. When the red light turned green, she walked towards him.
At the intersection, a car suddenly rushed out from the direction of the red light. Yu Nian subconsciously looked over and saw a yellow taxi rushing towards her as if it had lost control. She was so scared that her mind went blank and she saw Liao Ming's hideous face in the driver's seat of the taxi. The speed was so fast that by the time Yu Nian reacted, the car was less than a meter away from her.
With a loud "bang", the sports car suddenly crashed into the taxi just before it was about to hit her, causing the taxi to crash into the trees in the green belt.
The metal shell of the car body made a sharp tearing sound under the violent impact, and the air formed an invisible shock wave that spread in all directions. The body of the taxi was torn into pieces, and the front of the sports car was also dented.
The broken metal fragments splashed onto Yu Nian's calves, cutting her ankles through her pants.
But Yu Nian didn't feel any pain at this moment.
In the past, when reading books or watching movies, people would describe it as "all the strength in your body is drained away". She thought it was exaggerated at the time. Now her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand. She knelt on the ground, took a few seconds to relax, and reached for her phone to call 120.
Her fingers were trembling and the blood in her body turned cold. She forced herself to stay calm at the moment, dialed 120 with trembling fingers, and then ran to the front of the sports car.
