Chapter 212 The Woman with Zero Fertility Value 15
The repairmen suddenly became exceptionally dedicated, inspecting circuits that had no problems at all three times a day; even the trash cans were polished to a shine…
These people followed one after another, all for a fleeting glimpse.
Suddenly, jobs in the neighborhood became highly sought after, and even cleaning services were priced.
Even he, a security guard, was bought for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Of course, Liu Yang rejected this without hesitation.
He accomplished nothing in the army and became a security guard after his discharge, knowing he was unworthy of the bright moon.
But he was content just to be close to her and catch a glimpse of her occasionally.
With these secret thoughts in mind, he was particularly wary of these outsiders.
In the past few days, he has already poached quite a few people.
Ji Zhilan was completely unaware of Zhou Yang's thoughts and continued to watch the neighborhood nervously.
Finally, his gaze fell upon a figure that had gracefully arrived.
The snow-white silk shirt was gently folded by the morning breeze, and the dark green skirt outlined an elegant curve with each step.
The sunlight shone especially on her, condensing the purest golden light upon her; the setting sun melted gold, making her appear ethereal like a goddess.
She is even more beautiful and captivating than she appears in videos.
Ji Zhilan unconsciously held her breath.
He only snapped out of his daze when Shi Yunzhen approached and hurriedly went to greet her.
“Yun Zhen…”
"Stop! Don't take another step! Stay away from Miss Shi!"
As soon as he made a move, Zhou Yang and the others, who had been waiting in ambush, jumped out and stood in front of Shi Yunzhen.
Ji Zhilan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yunzhen and I have already made an appointment, so please make way."
"You're talking nonsense! Miss Shi hasn't agreed to any relationship with anyone yet, so why would she agree to yours? Get out of here right now, or we'll report you to the police and have you arrested."
The security team didn't believe it; they'd seen far too many people like that these days.
"Exactly, what nonsense are you spouting? What could possibly make Miss Shi interested in you?"
"A toad trying to eat swan meat!"
"Don't think you can seduce Miss Shi just because you're good-looking. Get out of here right now, or you'll regret it!"
The others who were waiting also chimed in with envy.
After all, this guy is really good-looking; he's the kind of guy women would like.
If Miss Shi saw him, she might actually choose him.
Therefore, all these people are united in their desire to drive the person away.
These people's words dispelled some of Ji Zhilan's tension, but instead ignited a burning anger within her.
He pushed past the crowd and, seeing Shi Yunzhen getting closer, forcefully suppressed his anger.
Ji Zhilan took a deep look at the crowd and memorized everyone's faces.
Then, he leaped past the group and took a few steps to Shi Yunzhen.
"Yunzhen, I'm here."
Shi Yunzhen looked him up and down.
Ji Zhilan tensed up, her muscles subtly tightening.
The man stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His height of nearly 1.9 meters made him stand out in the crowd. He was dressed casually and had a shy smile on his face, like a boy next door.
"Let's go."
Shi Yunzhen turned around and walked back.
There were too many people outside, and it was far less quiet than inside the neighborhood. Moreover, one of the reasons she called the person over was to reassure Chen Ya, so naturally she wanted to bring the person over to see her.
"good."
Ji Zhilan answered shyly and followed closely behind.
Those who witnessed this scene felt as if the sky had fallen.
It turns out that what the man said was true.
Miss Shi... she really did choose a marriage partner...
Ji Zhilan's gaze lingered cautiously on Shi Yunzhen, then quickly shifted away as if burned.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and the tips of his ears turned a visibly red.
"The weather is really nice today..." he said dryly.
Shi Yunzhen simply pretended not to hear.
She didn't even want to reply to those kinds of questions.
Ji Zhilan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Yun Zhen, do you like my body?"
Clearly, after last night's conversation, he had keenly discerned a hint of Shi Yunzhen's preferences.
Shi Yunzhen then gave him a condescending glance, her smile ambiguous: "We'll only know after we've used it."
"boom--"
Ji Zhilan suddenly felt a surge of heat, her cheeks turning a deep red.
He lowered his head and whispered, barely a whisper: "You...you can use it however you want."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yunzhen raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
However, she didn't say much, only saying, "Don't talk about these things anymore later."
"Yes," Ji Zhilan replied instinctively.
The two returned home one after the other.
"Mom, I'm home."
Chen Ya looked exactly the same as when Shi Yunzhen left, holding her phone with a serious expression.
Hearing the sound, she looked up.
"You're back so soon? Why didn't you play a little longer? Are you hungry? Mom will make something right now..."
The unspoken words were stuck in his throat.
Looking at the tall, unfamiliar man behind her youngest daughter, she instinctively asked, "Zhenzhen, who is this?"
Shi Yunzhen said casually, "Him? He's the person I chose to form a bond with."
"What?!"
Chen Ya suddenly stood up, and her phone fell to the ground with a 'clatter'.
She had searched her entire social circle these past few days and even went online to look for suitable candidates, but to her surprise, Zhenzhen brought one back herself.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhilan straightened her back even more and said solemnly, "Hello, Auntie, I am Ji Zhilan."
Hello.
Chen Ya gave a forced smile, then winked at Shi Yunzhen.
"Zhenzhen, come with me for a moment."
"Mom, just ask him whatever you want to know."
Shi Yunzhen didn't want to deal with Chen Ya's questioning, so she simply let the two of them talk.
Chen Ya couldn't help but glare at Shi Yunzhen.
That brat!
He then looked at Ji Zhilan and greeted her, "Little Ji, come in and sit down."
"Yes, Auntie, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
Ji Zhilan bowed slightly and took out a gilded gift box the size of a basketball from her bag.
The box is entirely black with subtle patterns inlaid along the edges, shimmering with a low-key yet luxurious sheen under the light.
"You've come all this way, why bring a gift?"
Chen Ya smiled gently, but her actions were anything but polite as she took the box and opened a corner.
Normally, she wouldn't be so unreasonable, but Ji Zhilan was brought back by her own daughter and was also her contractual partner, so she couldn't care less about such things.
Whether someone is being perfunctory or serious can be discerned from the gift itself.
Inside the box were three crystal-clear pieces of meat, their surfaces covered with fine frost-like patterns, shimmering with a mother-of-pearl-like iridescent glow under the light.
Even through the special plastic wrap, you can smell a refreshing herbal aroma, as if it carries the pure scent of high mountain snowfields.
Ji Zhilan explained, "This is the hind leg meat of an S-grade Snow Mountain Rhinoceros. Eating it can strengthen the body and enhance resistance to cold."
Chen Ya's fingers trembled uncontrollably.
S-grade alien beast meat is always in high demand but rarely available, and many people don't even have the qualifications to come into contact with it.
The Shi family, for example, usually eats C-grade exotic beast meat. Thanks to their two daughters, they can occasionally buy B-grade or A-grade meat, but they have never had S-grade meat.
"This...this is too valuable..."
Chen Ya closed the lid and was about to return it.
Ji Zhilan put her hands behind her back and smiled shyly: "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse, Auntie."
Chen Ya carefully observed his expression and saw that he showed no sign of refusing or being reluctant, which made her feel somewhat satisfied.
Although we don't know the young man's specific situation, the fact that he's willing to offer up S-grade alien beast meat means he must care about his daughter.
"Since it's Xiao Ji's kind gesture, I'll shamelessly accept it."
A hint of joy flashed in Ji Zhilan's eyes, and she quickly said, "I'm glad you like it, Auntie."
Chen Ya put the box down and gestured for Ji Zhilan to sit down.
He then cleared his throat and tentatively asked, "Xiao Ji, where are you from? What does your family do?"
Ji Zhilan immediately straightened her back, placed her hands properly on her knees, and honestly told Chen Ya about her family situation.
Chen Ya's smile deepened, and she inquired about other things.
Ji Zhilan answered fluently and without any concealment.
The more he learned about Chen Ya, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but nod inwardly.
Although the two have only known each other for a short time, the young man's deep affection and love for his daughter are genuine.
Moreover, the young man himself is also very outstanding, and he is a perfect match for the daughter.
As the sun outside the window gradually began to set in the west, Chen Ya stopped talking.
"We were so busy talking that we forgot the time. Xiao Ji, why don't you sit down and rest for a while? I'll go prepare dinner."
Ji Zhilan quickly stood up: "Auntie, let me do it."
They would stay out of the city for ten days or half a month at a time, and while they were often away, they also improved their cooking skills.
Chen Ya paused, her smile widening: "Great! We're in for a treat today."
It's rare to see a man who cooks, so she wanted to see if he was genuinely interested or just putting on an act.
Although society today generally favors men working outside the home and women staying at home, and their family is no exception, Chen Ya naturally applies a different set of standards when it comes to her daughter.
Ji Zhilan worked quickly and soon prepared a large table full of food.
Shi Nianxue was still sulking and refused to come downstairs. Shi Zhiming was out, so there were only three people sitting around the table for the meal, but the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.
Chen Ya became more and more satisfied with Ji Zhilan the more she looked at him.
The couple naturally doted on their daughter, but the world is ultimately harsh on women with barren skin.
Unable to marry or have children, they are destined to be judged by others.
And what good are the men in the pleasure quarters? Many of them are only after momentary pleasure.
It's great that my daughter has found someone like Xiao Ji who understands and cares for her.
Although according to custom, two more people should be found, even if the other two are not considerate enough, at least with someone as steady as Xiao Ji protecting her, her daughter will suffer less injustice for the rest of her life.
After finishing their meal and sitting for a while, Ji Zhilan tactfully got up.
"Auntie, I'll head back now."
Chen Ya tried to persuade him to stay: "Xiao Ji, this must be your first time in Jinlan City. You're probably unfamiliar with the place. Why don't you stay here and have someone to look after you?"
Ji Zhilan quickly refused: "No need, Auntie, I bought a house in the next neighborhood and I live there now."
He was naturally reluctant to part with Shi Yunzhen, but just seeing Chen Ya today made him so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat and remained highly tense throughout.
If I were to move in directly, that taut nerve would probably snap.
"Oh, I see. Zhenzhen, you see Xiao Ji off."
Chen Ya planned to let the two spend more time together and cultivate their relationship.
Now Ji Zhilan couldn't say no, and looked at Shi Yunzhen expectantly.
"Let's go." Shi Yunzhen did not refuse.
The two walked out side by side and arrived at Ji Zhilan's house.
Although the time was short, Ji Zhilan had already arranged for someone to come and clean in advance, and also replenished some daily necessities, women's clothing, etc.
Even so, the room was still quite spacious.
"Yunzhen," Ji Zhilan's voice unconsciously softened, "do you see if there's anything we're missing? I'll go get it right away."
"No need, I won't be staying long anyway."
Ji Zhilan's body stiffened, and her breathing unconsciously slowed down.
"Yun, Yunzhen, may I stay here a little longer?"
The voice was extremely hoarse.
Shi Yunzhen glanced at him. "How long do you want to stay?"
Ji Zhilan lowered her head: "I'm fine with anything..."
Shi Yunzhen rarely had the urge to tease anyone, "I was saying I'd be going on a long trip in a couple of days and was planning to take you with me. Since you're planning to stay here, then stay."
Ji Zhilan suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining.
"I'll go, I'll go! Yunzhen, wherever you go, I'll go."
He thought that Yunzhen only intended to use him once to deal with the Le Lou mission, so he prepared to send him away.
But it turned out he had misunderstood.
Ji Zhilan chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
Although it was a misunderstanding, it served as a reminder to Ji Zhilan that his position was still very precarious.
He glanced at Yunzhen's expression and stammered, "Yunzhen, I... I bought some toys and clothes when I came, would you like to see them..."
He spoke the last few words in a barely audible voice, and his face flushed red, his whole being enveloped in a feeling of shame.
"oh?"
Shi Yunzhen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement on her face.
She slowly settled down on the sofa, arms crossed, legs crossed, the tips of her black high heels tracing a lazy arc in the air, her slender ankles gleaming under the light.
Ji Zhilan's gaze unconsciously followed the swaying shoe tip, her Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
Her raised foot swayed gently, each sway feeling like a tap on his heart.
Ji Zhilan felt her mouth was dry and her palms were covered in a fine layer of sweat.
He hurriedly looked away, but couldn't help stealing glances at her swaying toes.
"I...I mean..." His voice trailed off, his fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of his shirt, "If you don't like it, I...I'll put it away right now..."
Shi Yunzhen chuckled softly, then suddenly stopped, her toes pointing slightly forward, the tip of her shoe almost touching his trouser leg.
Ji Zhilan trembled, her breath catching in her throat.
"Let me take a look."
Her tone was languid, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Let me see what you bought."
Shi Yunzhen tapped the tip of her shoe on his calf: "You have to show me."
Ji Zhilan blushed all over.
"Okay, okay."
He hurriedly agreed and quickly slipped into the room.
