Chapter 104 Return Home
Ji Yanxing paused while smoking and was silent for a few seconds, "Did you let Wen Yan go?"
Lu Yan's eyes darkened and he chuckled, "Yeah, if I could have let it go, I would have let it go a long time ago."
He grabbed the thorns and pricked his palm until it bled. If he could let go, who the hell would be willing to hurt themselves like a masochist?

City A is on the seaside, and Qiu Shuning's resort is right on the beach. The biggest selling point is the sunset at the beach, especially lying on a sun chair on the beach and watching the sun slowly go down, which is a unique experience.
Yu Nian treated it as a vacation. Qiu Shuning was humorous and enthusiastic. He would not let anything slip. He chatted about meaningless topics in a measured way, from junior high school life to gossip about celebrities in the entertainment industry. "Speaking of the entertainment industry, I met Meng Ziyun some time ago-"
Qiu Shuning quietly observed Yu Nian's expression. Seeing that she didn't react, he continued, "Didn't my brother Ji ban her? I heard that she has always been very arrogant in the circle. Now that she has no backers, there are many people who will take advantage of her. Her rivals have released the negative information that they have kept secret for many years. Her previous endorsement company asked her for compensation. She deserves it."
Yu Nian didn't respond. Qiu Shuning said tentatively, "Sister-in-law, did you quarrel with Brother Ji because of Meng Ziyun? Brother Ji was indeed wrong, but you also know that he was not loved by his father and mother since he was a child. No one taught him how to handle intimate relationships. If you are unhappy, just slap him a few more times. You two have been married for several years and have always been so loving. It would be a pity if you break up like this."
"It has little to do with her." Yu Nian said.
"sister in law--"
"Okay, stop it," Yu Nian raised his eyebrows at her, "Don't mention unhappy things."
Qiu Shuning pursed his lips and swallowed back the words in his heart.
They played at the beach until the evening. Because Yu Nian had to catch a flight the next morning, she and Ji Yanxing left first, and the rest of them stayed overnight.
The air at the beach seems to smell like sand, the waves sway with the wind, and together with her skirt, she looks like a hyacinth standing on the beach. She is enveloped by orange light, peaceful and gentle. It's like a painting in an art film.
"Go home." A deep and magnetic voice sounded above his head. Ji Yanxing looked at her hair blown by the wind and reached out to put it behind her ears.
Yu Nian subconsciously wanted to hide, but there were many people around watching her, so she endured it and didn't move.
Ji Yanxing's eyes softened, and he placed his hand in front of her, "Let's go."
He didn't even need to look specifically to know that many people were watching them, most of them were his friends. Yu Nian couldn't slap him in the face in public, so he put his hand on it.
It was about a five-minute walk to where he parked his car. Ji Yanxing held her hand. He hadn't held her hand for a long time because she refused to let him hold it.
"What are you and Qiu Shuning talking about?" There was a faint smile in his eyes and voice.
Yu Nian: "Just talking nonsense."
"This place is pretty good. Let's come here every year, okay?"
Yu Nian said nothing.
After turning a corner, blocking everyone's sight, Yu Nian pulled her hand back from his palm, stepped past him in her thin high heels, and walked towards the parking lot.
Ji Yanxing looked at his hand suspended in mid-air, then looked at her back without hesitation, his thin lips tightly pursed, his left hand maintaining this movement, and after a few seconds, he withdrew his hand.

Ever since Yu Nian smashed the cup that morning, Ji Yanxing somehow changed his ways and no longer threatened her with her job. Yu Nian also didn't go too far, fearing that she would push him too far. She went on business trips during the weekdays and stayed in City A on weekends.
This Friday is Yu Nian's birthday. She has been so busy lately that she is confused. It was the night before that Ji Yanxing sent her a text message: "I will celebrate your birthday with you tomorrow."
Yu Nian was stunned and realized that tomorrow was her birthday. She didn't reply to him, and he sent the message not to get her permission, but to inform her.
Just as she had not reported her itinerary to him, he knew exactly which city she was in and which hotel she was staying in.
Yu Nian had a court hearing on Friday, and she didn't know when it would end. He said he would come, and she couldn't stop him, so she just let him do whatever he wanted.
After putting her phone away, Yu Nian walked out of the school gate. Her undergraduate marriage law teacher, who was also her mentor, learned that she was working in the field of family affairs and asked her to return to the school to give a lecture to the members of her group.
Yu Nian did not refuse. After the lecture, they had a meal together. It was already past eight o'clock when the meal ended. On the way out of the school, she suddenly heard a cheerful and pleasant female voice: "He is so lucky. If he hadn't bought me dumplings this morning, I would not have invited him to watch me dance!"
The girl snorted proudly. Yu Nian didn't care at first and glanced at her casually. Then his gaze paused and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because the girl looked 70% like the photo she had seen in Ji Zhenguo's study, and her peach blossom eyes were extremely similar to Ji Yanxing's.
The seduction that was born in him was bright and dazzling on the girl, just as enchanting and fascinating.
Yu Nian was brainstorming, and in the moment she was stunned, the girl and her friends had already walked away. She came to her senses, immediately picked up her phone, and took a photo in the dim light.
After getting in the car, Yu Nian enlarged the photo. The more she looked at it, the more it looked like that woman - Ji Zhenguo's study, which she had been to once. The first thing she saw was a huge poster of a very beautiful and bright woman, smiling sweetly at the camera. The poster was so big that it almost took up the entire wall.
She asked Ji Yanxing who that was, and he said it was the woman Ji Zhenguo loved, so she didn't ask any further. Looking at the pair of peach blossom eyes in the photo that were similar to Ji Yanxing's, Yu Nian clenched her fingers and had a bold guess - could the girl be the child of Ji Zhenguo and that woman?
If she could help Ji Zhenguo find his daughter, in exchange for helping him help her get rid of Ji Yanxing.
Although Ji Zhenguo is seriously ill in bed, he holds a lot of shares. If he is willing to help her, it may be possible for him to get out of this unscathed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Nian finally sent the photo to Lu Yuchen, who was a teacher at Peking University and might have seen this girl.
Lawrence Lu was probably busy and didn’t reply to her message.
The court session on the second day lasted until 3pm, and Yu Nian finally had time to think about the girl. She turned on her phone and saw that Lu Yuchen had called her twice. Yu Nian immediately called him back. "Do you know who she is?" Yu Nian asked straight to the point after the call was connected.
"She is a student in my class, her name is Gao Qier. What do you want to know about her?"
Yu Nian: "There are some things I want to clarify. Can you let me meet her?"
Lawrence Lu: “Okay, but she’s participating in the school’s dance performance and has been rehearsing all day today, so she probably won’t have time to see you.”
"It's okay," Yu Nian said, "Are you in City A? I want to find out more about her situation."
"Yes, come to school to find me."
"Um."
