Chapter 8: Quarrel
When Wei Guangliang came back, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. Your aunt is very strict with me. If I don't go home for dinner, she will nag me for a long time."
Wei Guangliang and his wife are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and got married after graduating from college. He goes out to earn money to support the family, while his wife stays at home to take care of her husband and children. They have been in love for more than 20 years and are well-known in the circle for their deep love.
"No problem." Ji Yanxing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Wei Guangliang inevitably talked a lot when talking about his wife: "I have known your aunt for more than 40 years. We have quarreled countless times. When I was most angry, I drove to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau to prepare for a divorce. But thinking about the relationship for so many years, I couldn't bear to let go. Sometimes I think that living alone is inevitably too lonely, and having someone to accompany you is also a sweet burden."
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said jokingly: "You are still young now, it is normal that you don't want to be bound, but it is time to consider it, and it will also relieve your father's worries."
Ji Yanxing tapped the table with his fingers and smiled faintly: "I'm married."
Wei Guangliang was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"
"yesterday."
"This is my fault," Wei Guangliang said, "I asked you to come to Y City on your wedding day. Your niece-in-law must be unhappy."
Ji Yanxing didn't respond, but picked up the teacup and took another sip.
At about eight o'clock, the dinner ended and we left the hotel. The driver was waiting at the door.
After getting in the car, Li Ming sat in the passenger seat and reported Ji Yanxing's itinerary over the past few days.
Looking at the packed schedule, Li Ming sighed inwardly. This was originally a week's workload, but for some reason, President Ji suddenly said this morning that he wanted to shorten the schedule to three days and free up time for the weekend.
So much so that Li Ming received a notice to go on a business trip to Y City as soon as he got up this morning.
Ji Yanxing supported his chin, pressed his fingers on his temples, closed his eyes, and listened to Li Ming's report. He responded indifferently.
Seeing that Mr. Ji looked a little tired, Li Ming took the initiative to change the music in the car to soft and soothing piano music.
Compared with City A, the infrastructure of City Y is relatively old. The traffic lights outside the window turn red and green, from which one can seem to get a glimpse of the glory of the ancient city in the past.
In such a quiet and comfortable environment, even Li Ming felt a little sleepy.
However, the next moment, a deep male voice was heard in the car.
"Call Aunt Liu."
Li Ming paused: "Yes."
Just as Li Ming didn't expect that Mr. Ji would ask him to call Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu didn't expect to receive a call from her boss after get off work.
Li Ming handed the phone to Ji Yanxing. After a few seconds of silence, he asked calmly, "Is the study room tidied?"
Aunt Liu: "The decorator came this morning and installed it according to your requirements."
"Um."
After a few seconds of silence, Ji Yanxing asked again: "Where is she?"
"My wife went upstairs after dinner and said she was going to the study to deal with some work."
Ji Yanxing leaned against the back of the car, closed his eyes sleepily, and heard Aunt Liu say, "Sir, when will you be back? I think my wife is not very happy."
"She is unhappy?" Ji Yanxing opened his eyes and expressed doubt about her words.
Aunt Liu felt a little guilty, but she wasn't saying anything nonsense: "Madam eats very little at night, and she hasn't talked much."
I went on a business trip the day after my marriage. My wife had her first dinner alone after her marriage. It would be strange if anyone was happy about that.
Hearing what Aunt Liu said, Ji Yanxing sneered lightly.
She eats less because she pays attention to body management.
She doesn't talk because she is not a talkative person.
There was nothing to ask, so Ji Yanxing handed the phone to Li Ming and closed his eyes.

On Friday afternoon, Yu Nian received a text message from Chen Xi, saying that he was just downstairs from her law firm and asked her if she had time.
Yu Nian glanced at the work at hand and was not in a hurry to finish it, so he replied: [Send me the location, I will find you right away. ]
Chen Xi drove over. After Yu Nian got in the car, Chen Xi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took off his sunglasses, and the makeup on his face under the sunglasses was smudged by his tears.
"Nian Nian, you are finally here..."
Chen Xi looked at her aggrievedly, "I had a quarrel with He Bai again..."
Chen Xi and He Bai have been breaking up and getting back together over the years. The breakup was always initiated by He Bai, and the reunion was achieved by Chen Xi's repeated requests.
It was also a coincidence that He Bai happened to be a partner of Yu Nian's team. Today Chen Xi came to him to ask for a reconciliation, probably because she came to her to cry after being rejected.
Yu Nian was not surprised and handed her a few tissues, but did not try to persuade her.
Everyone has their own obsessions, even if they seem very stupid to outsiders.
Chen Xi entered Peking University through the art student route, but to be admitted to Peking University, even for an art student, the score requirement was not low. She was smart in other aspects, but she fell into trouble with He Bai.
"Every time I asked him to get back together, he would agree to it,"
Chen Xi sniffed hard, with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes, "Why did you reject me this time?"
Yu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you made him too angry last time."
"I just scolded him a few words last time, but you can't blame me for everything. Who allowed him to have dinner alone with another woman?"
Chen Xi frowned, "He doesn't really like that woman, does he?"
Yu Nian said helplessly: "What if I really like it?"
Chen Xi was stunned for two seconds, then wiped away her tears, "Absolutely not, he said he only likes me."
Yu Nian handed her a few more tissues and said, "Wipe your tears. You are a female celebrity. If the paparazzi take ugly photos of you, it will probably be on the hot search again."
Chen Xi wiped her tears and replied, "You overestimate me. I'm a second-tier player, so what am I afraid of?"
Chen Xi's emotions came and went quickly. After crying, she acted as if nothing had happened and suggested going to the bar to drink away her sorrow.
The two hadn't been together for a long time. Yu Nian thought about it and nodded.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Anye, a high-end bar with great privacy. Chen Xi asked for a private room and followed the servant inside.
Yu Nian was thinking about whether to call Ji Yanxing. Tomorrow is Saturday, and he had promised to accompany her back to City B, but he has been on a business trip and has not responded to her since sending the report text message. Will he stand her up?
Come back in three days.
Today is the third day.
Chen Xi suddenly shook her arm and said in a low voice: "Is this... your fake husband?"
Although the tone is questionable,
Chen Xi was certain in his heart. After all, it was difficult for anyone who had seen Ji Yanxing to forget his appearance.
Yu Nian subconsciously looked up and saw Ji Yanxing standing across the corridor.
He was wearing a black shirt, with an indifferent expression, his thin lips pursed, his eyes lowered to look at his phone, his whole body was noble and cold.
Yu Nian paused because there was a beautiful girl standing next to him.
The girl looked up at him, mumbling something. Ji Yanxing responded with a few words from time to time. His attitude was not very enthusiastic, but it was obvious that they had a close relationship.
I don’t know if it was some mysterious thing like telepathy, but Ji Yanxing suddenly looked up and looked in her direction.
