Chapter 108 Live Broadcast
"Sure, of course we can take pictures! I really didn't expect you to be Shi Jin's fiancée. Sorry, I'm nearsighted, so I didn't recognize you very well."
Mai Mai's originally excited and happy smile suddenly changed color when she heard her fiancé's name.
"You know Shi Jin?"
Bai Zhenzhu first gave a meaningful smile, then looked into the distance as if recalling some beautiful scene, before stammering, "I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"
"No, Miss Bai, I'm just quite surprised that you know my fiancé..."
She was so curious that she wanted to know everything about Shi Jin.
But unfortunately, Shi Jin never talked to her about his past, including the woman who had caused him heartbreak...
"Didn't Shi Jin tell you about me?"
"ah?"
"Since Shi Jin hasn't said anything, I shouldn't bring it up either. I think you should ask him about our relationship yourself."
The most offensive words are those that are vague and unclear, which can make the listener anxious and prone to wild speculation.
Seeing Mai Mai's face turn from red to white, and then from white to black, Bai Zhenzhu finally felt relieved.
She wanted to see if Shi Jin would be kneeling on a washboard when he got home tonight.
"Oh, the elevator's here, let's go in."
MaiMai: "Um, I have something to do, so I'll go upstairs first."
...
Mai Mai felt wronged and upset because of Bai Zhenzhu's ambiguous words.
I really want to see Shi Jin right away and ask him what his relationship is with that white pearl.
Why did they pay such a high price to acquire that painting?
And that night at the restaurant, when he saw Bai Zhenzhu's family, his enigmatic expression...
She had too many questions in her mind, like a tangled mess, yet somehow the chaos had a discernible pattern.
After much hesitation, she asked for leave from her company, bought two cups of coffee, and went to the Shi Group.
This is the first time MaiMai has visited ShiJin's company in three years.
Because Shi Jin is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, and she is also an obedient and sensible fiancée.
But today she showed up uninvited.
She knew Shi Jin would be angry, but she didn't know where she got the courage, she just wanted to live for herself for once.
I happened to run into Shi Jin's assistant downstairs, so I went upstairs with the assistant.
"Ms. Mai, Mr. Shi is in a meeting. Please go to his office and wait for a moment."
"Okay, thank you."
The assistant knew Mai Mai's identity, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with his fiancée coming to his company, and therefore didn't inform her in advance.
Mai Mai entered Shi Jin's office, her heart pounding.
It was filled with Shi Jin's scent, the scent she had cherished and longed for most over the past three years.
Unable to contain her excitement, she secretly sat down in Shi Jin's chair, but because she was too scared, she only slightly touched the chair and did not sink down completely.
She ran her fingertips over any spot she might have touched, pausing briefly on areas with noticeable wear and tear, and then a slight tremor would run through her fingertips.
She raised the corners of her mouth and continued her actions in a somewhat morbid manner, but stopped at a cute little white rabbit ornament that clashed with the decor of the place.
Curious, she picked up the little rabbit, weighed it in her hand, and then pondered it carefully.
On the base of the little rabbit, she saw a line of English words: white pearl...
She was both surprised and unsurprised.
Perhaps after hearing Bai Zhenzhu's words, she had already considered the worst-case scenario...
This only confirms my suspicions.
Shi Jin and Bai Zhenzhu had a past that she was unaware of, and their bond was very deep.
Her eyes finally filled with tears, much to her dismay.
She stared blankly at the little rabbit, her mind filled with too many thoughts.
And the craziest idea I had was to smash this little ceramic rabbit hard on the ground...
Although she always played the role of a gentle and dignified fiancée to Shi Jin, it doesn't mean she had no temper or wouldn't get jealous.
She didn't want to be that pathetic woman anymore.
It's just a worthless ornament; even if it breaks, Shi Jin won't blame her.
So her obsession overcame her usual rationality, and she lifted the little rabbit high...
Just as she had loosened her grip on one finger, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Shi Jin shouted, "What are you doing!"
Startled, Mai Mai shuddered, and the little rabbit slipped from her hands.
With a "crack," the little rabbit was smashed to pieces.
Mai Mai was shocked and immediately squatted down to pick up the crumbs of the little rabbit. However, Shi Jin ran over and pushed her away, then squatted down himself, staring blankly at the ruins.
Mai Mai saw it; Shi Jin's eyelashes were trembling and his shoulders were shaking—it was a sign of suppressed and painful emotions.
"Shi Jin, I'm sorry."
"Who told you to touch this?!" Shi Jin practically roared.
This was the first time Mai Mai had ever seen Shi Jin lose his temper like this, and she was really scared.
"I'm sorry, I was just curious why this was on your desk, I'm so sorry..."
In the end, she broke down emotionally and couldn't help but cry.
Shi Jin then turned around, sighed heavily, and composed herself. "Don't cry, I don't blame you."
"I'm so sorry, Shi Jin, I didn't know this little rabbit was so important to you!"
The louder she cried, the stronger her sense of grievance became.
So that's why Bai Zhenzhu holds such an important place in his heart!
"It's nothing important, just a decorative piece. If it's broken, it's broken."
Shi Jin spoke these words casually, but in Mai Mai's eyes, it was nothing more than an attempt to cover up the truth.
The way he acted just now made it seem like he almost ate her alive.
"Is it really not important? Wasn't this a gift from Bai Zhenzhu?"
Shi Jin, who had originally intended to downplay the incident, became agitated again upon hearing these words.
Who told you this?
"So... I guessed right?"
"Mai Yue'er, explain yourself clearly! What exactly happened?"
Mai Mai, who usually looks like a well-behaved girl, now looks even a bit ferocious.
She seemed to have been completely unleashed by the stimulation.
Instead of cowardly avoiding the issue, we confront these cruel realities head-on.
"Bai Zhenzhu sent me to ask you, what exactly is your relationship with her?"
...
After finishing her workday, Bai Zhenzhu drove back to her apartment alone, planning to order takeout later.
She had just gotten off the elevator and was about to open the door when she suddenly felt something was wrong, as if she were being followed and watched.
And I had this feeling on the way back from driving home.
At that time, she always felt that a car was following her.
But when she looked in the rearview mirror, she found nothing unusual.
She shook her head. With such strict security in this neighborhood, how could there possibly be any stalkers?
It must be because I've been too busy with studio matters lately.
She pressed her index finger onto the fingerprint sensor on the door, and the door opened with a "beep".
Just as she was about to go inside, a figure suddenly rushed over, grabbed her waist from behind, turned her around, and pinned her against the door...
Who else could have pulled off this black bear sneak attack but Shi Jin?
"Shi Jin! What are you doing here again, causing a ruckus! My husband will be back in a minute, so get out of here right now!"
Shi Jin lifted her chin. His expression was obscured in the darkness, but his tone was roguish, like a scoundrel. "Your husband's coming back? How exciting! Want to give him a live broadcast?"
