Ji Huaizhi appeared behind them at some point, looking at the two of them with a faint expression.
Monkey was startled and said quickly, "Boss, I didn't say anything." He retreated to the corridor and said, "I still have to buy breakfast for my sister-in-law. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace without any loyalty.
Li Yang tried to stop him and explain: "Hey, you..." She turned to look at Ji Huaizhi, who was looking at her leisurely, "I said I didn't mean that, do you believe me?"
Ji Huaizhi poked the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue: "You don't mean anything?"
Li Yang was speechless for a moment and shook his head: "It's meaningless."
After what happened last night and being disturbed by the monkey, Li Yang didn't know how to get along with Ji Huaizhi for a moment.
When he was not around, she seemed to have everything planned out, even thinking about his daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. But as soon as he stood in front of her, that oppressive and tense feeling came over her.
So she avoided the subject: "Does your wound still hurt?"
Ji Huaizhi pushed her into the room and replied, "Not bad." He sat down opposite her, his posture casual and his tone cold, "Monkey and the others are used to being casual, and sometimes they speak without restraint. Don't mind it."
Li Yang looked at Ji Huaizhi in front of him and felt that he had returned to his usual unapproachable self. What happened in the early morning seemed like a dream that had no effect on him at all. He nodded and said, "I know, don't worry."
At this moment, Li Yang finally understood that in her previous life, until her death, she didn't know who Ji Huaizhi's white moonlight was. It can be seen that he was deeply in love with her. Perhaps it was for this reason that everyone in this life said that he was chaste and had no women around him.
After all, it was I who defiled him.
Li Yang quickly figured out their situation and understood where he should put himself. The momentary misalignment was nothing more than his own illusion.
She smiled and asked Ji Huaizhi: "Is everything done? Are you ready to leave Shenzhen?"
Monkey said that he went out early in the morning. Since he came back so soon, he must have arranged everything and was ready to proceed to the next step.
Ji Huaizhi didn't hide it: "I counted all the goods today and plan to ship them out tonight."
It is already December now, and considering the time it takes to transport the goods to the inland and the north, it is estimated to be mid-to-early December. In addition, we have to manage relationships along the way, and several ships of goods will be lost if we are not careful.
When Li Yang heard that his schedule was so tight, he said, "Then you should just go ahead and do your thing. I'll go back by myself when the time comes."
Ji Huaizhi chuckled, his beautiful peach blossom eyes sharp as knives, staring at people with nowhere to hide: "Like I said, you don't have to pay attention to what Monkey said." He stood up and put one hand in his trouser pocket, "After all the goods are shipped, I will go back to Guangzhou with you."
He had some accounts to settle with that old man Kai Ye.
Li Yang noticed the coldness in Ji Huaizhi's eyes, touched his neck, and silently chose not to speak.

In the evening, Chen Gang, who had not been seen for several days, finally showed up.
Compared to Ji Huaizhi and Monkey's injuries which were hidden, Chen Gang had a bruised face and nose, and was limping when he walked. It was really a horrible sight.
The four of them had dinner together at a restaurant outside. Li Yang heard the next arrangements from their conversation: Chen Gang and Monkey would be responsible for transporting the goods to the inland and north, while Ji Huaizhi would go back to Guangzhou with her.
During the conversation, Chen Gang mentioned Xiao Haisheng and Kai Ye, but Ji Huaizhi stopped him from saying anything further with a faint look, and Monkey changed the subject in time.
Li Yang sat aside, very tactfully watching the food in front of her and eating it seriously. Sometimes, Ji Huaizhi would even pick up some dishes for her that she had picked up twice.
Li Yang secretly glanced at him, his casual posture and nonchalant expression. He was obviously chatting with them, but he was also paying attention to his own preferences.
Li Yang thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, and finally summarized it as "multitasking".
Perhaps because he was happy, Monkey drank some wine and became more talkative, talking about what happened that day when he went to Yuchang.
The monkey burped and said, "That pretty boy has bad intentions, right off the bat. Otherwise, why would he give the jade to my sister-in-law?" He gestured exaggeratedly with his hands, "A jade this big must cost a fortune!"
Just as Li Yang was about to explain, he felt a cold gaze directed at him. That expression clearly said, "You'd better give me an explanation."
She could only grin at Ji Huaizhi: "Well, actually he is not very white. You are whiter than him."
Ji Huaizhi's skin is a cool white color, the kind that turns white again quickly after being exposed to the sun, while Gao Xinchen's skin is wheat-colored.
Ji Huaizhi: "..."
As soon as the words fell, Monkey and Chen Gang burst into laughter.
Chen Gang said: "Boss, it seems that you have been seen by the sister-in-law!"
Monkey said quickly: "That's right, just last night, the eldest sister-in-law ripped off the eldest brother's clothes!"
Li Yang: “…”
Could these two people please shut up?
Ji Huaizhi picked up his wine glass and drank from each of them: "I still can't shut you up."
The two men realized that they had spoken without restraint, and hurriedly lowered their heads to drink in silence, not daring to say anything else. The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became deserted.
Li Yang sat next to Ji Huaizhi and felt that sense of oppression coming again.
Ji Huaizhi placed his hand on the back of Li Yang's chair, tilted his head slightly, and a dark emotion surged in his dark eyes: "Don't you like white?"
Li Yang was puzzled: "Hmm?"
I heard him ask again: "Is he rich?"
Li Yang understood now and nodded honestly: "I have money."
He doesn't even blink an eye when he sees jade worth tens of thousands of dollars. He must be rich.
He stared at her, the smile on his lips still playful, his eyes seemed to carry deep meaning: "Li Yang, I will be rich too."
