Ji Zhinan was amused: "What did I say?"
“…”
"If I remember correctly, I didn't say anything just now. It was Sister Lily who suddenly got excited."
“…”
"Or is it that Sister Lily actually knows exactly what's going on, and my unintentional words just happened to hit a sore spot?"
Lily's face was stiff. She picked up the coffee cup again, trying to cover up her panic with the excuse of drinking coffee. She was still stubborn and pretended to be stupid, refusing to admit, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Ji Zhinan looked at her with a smile but didn't say anything.
Feeling Ji Zhinan's gaze, Lily's heart beat faster due to nervousness.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
It was so quiet that she could even hear her own heartbeat.
After looking for three full minutes, Ji Zhinan retracted his gaze, picked up the teapot on the table, and refilled it with black tea.
The freshly poured black tea was steaming hot. Ji Zhinan smelled its fragrance and took a sip leisurely.
“Even people with the strongest self-control can’t always remain rational in their relationships.”
Ji Zhinan suddenly blurted out this sentence.
"There is nothing wrong with falling in love with someone. It is everyone's right. Others have no right to interfere, and no one else has the right to interfere."
"..." Lily pretended to be dead and didn't say anything, but her ears betrayed her unconsciously and she heard every word Ji Zhinan said.
"Although Ji Corporation belongs to the Ji family, it also has Sister Lily's hard work. If it weren't for Lily's dedicated assistance over the years, Chairman Ji alone would never have been able to develop the company so well."
“…”
Ji Zhinan smiled as she stared at Lily, whose gaze was wandering. "When you raise a dog for a long time, you'll develop feelings for it, not to mention the bond between people. Sister Lily works at Ji's company 365 days a year. Over the past decade or so, she's spent more time with Chairman Ji than with her own parents. It's normal for her to fall in love."
Lily's eyelashes trembled when she heard the last sentence, and she took another big sip of coffee.
Ji Zhinan noticed all her subtle movements. Although she appeared calm and composed on the surface, she was probably extremely anxious inside.
Suddenly, Ji Zhinan's smile deepened: "Sister Lily graduated from a prestigious university. She is capable, educated, and good-looking. Compared to Madam Ji, everyone thinks you and Chairman Ji are a better match."
"Although the Ji family is having some problems now, with your assistance, it shouldn't be difficult to return to its former glory."
Every word Ji Zhinan said was like a candy tempting her. The aroma of the candy lingered in front of her nose. Although she pretended to refuse him on the surface, she had actually already started swallowing her saliva secretly.
She naturally knew Mrs. Ji, a vase with no ability and only knew how to spend money. It was really unlucky for the chairman to have such a wife who could not help him in anything.
Unlike herself, just as Ji Zhinan said, she has education, ability and good looks, and most importantly, she is a dozen years younger than Mrs. Ji.
If I become the mistress of Ji's family, I will definitely work with the chairman to develop Ji's family, which will be a thousand times better than ZN!
At that moment, a lot of thoughts flashed through her mind, all of which were good things, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly reacting, the smile froze on his face, followed by regret.
She was so panicked that she didn't know how she had fallen into Ji Zhinan's trap.
