Ji Yunxi's fingertips suddenly loosened, and the jade bottle slipped from her palm.
The hand moved extremely quickly, and the jade bottle was caught in his palm almost as Ji Yunxi dropped it.
He withdrew his hand and chuckled: "That was a close call."
Chapter 59 Giving Gifts to the Madam
With a creak, the wooden door of the bathroom was closed again.
Ji Yunxi stood outside the door.
The moon is bright tonight, and the moonlight falls like silver frost.
She raised her hand slightly, lowered her eyebrows, and looked at the back of her hand.
A faint trace of water remained across the smooth and delicate skin, and was about to disappear.
Ji Yunxi has never been in a relationship.
In her previous life, she was busy with her career and had no intention of getting married.
Whether it is marriage or a romantic relationship, in Ji Yunxi's eyes, it is essentially an intertwined network of interests.
If you think about it carefully, the development of love between men and women also comes from the benefits you gain from it.
To put it bluntly, isn't most love based on a partner's good looks, top-notch education, extremely high emotional intelligence and EQ, superior family background, etc.
Choosing marriage in this life is just a different choice made under different backgrounds and times.
The modern business world is free, and as long as you don't break the law, you're fine. It won't involve your own life or the lives of your family. Of course, she didn't have much family in her previous life.
The business environment in ancient times was much worse and was closely related to the situation in the court. If one was too involved, he would even arouse the emperor's fear and his life would be insignificant.
Ji Yunxi also has the Ji family to protect.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Ji Yunxi is not good at officialdom. The best way is to find a partner who complements her and marry her.
Ji Yunxi is still very satisfied with her partner Wu Weian.
But time is always great and terrible. After spending several months together day and night, she seemed to have gotten used to him, and he seemed to have gotten used to her.
Recently, he has been doing a lot of small details and small actions.
Ji Yunxi didn't even think about guessing what he meant.
Trying to guess what Wu Weian is thinking is simply because he has nothing to do and his brain has been kicked by a donkey.
Because it's hard to guess.
It could be true or it could be false.
What is fake may be fake, or it may be real.
The real may become fake, and the fake may become real.
But then again, if he could be easily guessed, he would not be the person Ji Yunxi would be satisfied with.
So no guessing, just wait.
Wait quietly, watch quietly, waiting for the fox to show its tail, waiting for the sun to rise from the fog.
What Ji Yunxi has always had the most is patience.
But in a moment, the water stains on the back of the hand dissipated with the wind.
Ji Yunxi turned around and went back to her room, her steps as usual, neither fast nor slow, and each step was firm enough.
Inside the door, Wu Weian, who was walking towards the bathtub, felt it, stopped, turned around and took a look.
He was playing with the small jade bottle with his fingertips, his face was gloomy and his eyes were strange and deep.

Early the next morning, many people flocked to Ji's Cloth Shop when it opened.
Ji's Cloth Shop opens every day and replenishes some out-of-stock cloth. It's not much, usually just a few pieces, and you have to fight to get them.
But today, when everyone went to the store and saw it, they were all stunned.
Because the door of the cloth shop was closed and did not open at the appointed time, there was a wooden sign outside the shop.
Someone in the crowd couldn't read, so he asked someone who could read.
"What does it say on it?"
"The higher-ups said the cloth shop needs to close for some time for repairs."
"Close the store?? Why close the store?!"
"My guess is that it's related to what happened yesterday! The Third Miss and the Scholar-President were hit with eggs! The wife of that family stole money to buy clothes at Dongyun Cloth Shop. They think that Third Miss Ji's Cloth Shop used Young Master Yu Yue to trick their wife into buying clothes with the money!"
"What's going on here?! According to this logic, those brothels and prostitute houses should be closed down! How many men steal money to buy alcohol and other pleasures!!"
"I mean, I also think this cloth shop shouldn't be closed."
"Then what about the clothes I ordered? The cloth shop won't give them to me?"
"No, it's written above that all the clothes ordered will be made and delivered to your door personally."
The people pointed and talked at the closed cloth shop.
Those who really intended to buy clothes were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
But there was no other way, the store was closed, so these people could only go to the nearby cloth shop.
At first, because Ji's cloth shop was cheap, many cloth shops in the capital city lowered their prices.
But these merchants are used to changing with the wind. When they saw that Ji's cloth shop had closed down, their prices immediately went up, even a little higher than before.
Originally, the clothes in Ji's Cloth Shop were good quality and cheap, and the guys who served customers in the shop were good-looking and sweet-spoken.
As for other cloth shops? The clothes looked unoriginal and the prices were high. The owners of these small shops were the ones who served the customers themselves, so their attitude was naturally no better than that of the waiters from brothels.
Many people strolled around various stores, but couldn't bring themselves to buy clothes from other stores.
Even the Xingle Cloth Shop, which they had liked before, felt that it was missing something.
In the end, most people who wanted to buy clothes basically failed to do so.
It’s a really hard feeling to have money in your pocket but not be able to buy it.
Everyone was walking dejectedly down the street, preparing to go home, when they saw a family walking forward angrily with a group of detectives.
"What happened?"
"Oh, this is the family that threw eggs at Miss Ji yesterday! They went to the government to report the case early this morning, saying that Miss Ji sent people to kidnap them yesterday, locked them in the room, and gave them--" The person who spoke paused and took a breath.
The person next to him immediately urged: "Why give it to them?"
"Throw manure at them! You know what, I just got close and smelled it, and I can still smell a little bit of it!"
