Chapter 140 Early in the morning, Cheng Qian's phone was answered by Ji Yichen
It was the first time that Li Zhishi saw a confused expression on his elder brother's face.
You have to know that the eldest brother is the leader of the family. He leads the Li family into battle and is the most powerful support in everyone's heart. How could he be confused in his feelings?
"Brother, don't be too depressed. I'm not saying this to discourage you, but to remind you." Li Zhishi spoke to comfort him.
"Everything started with that night four years ago. If it hadn't been for that night..."
"Then you wouldn't know my sister-in-law, and you would never have met each other in your lives." Li Zhishi said what he had been silent about.
Li Zhinan shook his head in denial: "Not necessarily. I've been trying to find treatment for Xiaowei. She's a shining star in scientific research. I will definitely get to know her, but not in that way."
Li Zhishi was stunned. The next second, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, so it seems you are not completely indifferent to your sister-in-law."
"My feelings for her are very complicated." Li Zhinan sighed softly, "So complicated that the boundaries have blurred for me. When she's surrounded by people of the opposite sex, I feel very uncomfortable."
"Possessiveness is at work, of course. It's just caring." Li Zhishi patted his brother's arm and said seriously, "Brother, you have to remember, if a woman doesn't rely on you emotionally or financially, but you still think of her when you need her physically, what do you think she'll think? She'll feel like a tool, and naturally she'll feel disgusted."
Li Zhinan's heart was shocked. This sentence seemed to describe his and Cheng Qian's life for the past four years.
He didn't give her the care she wanted, nor did he provide her with the sense of security she desired. But when he was drunk and wanted physical comfort, he would hold her under him and demand it.
"Xiao Shi, you really understand women better than I do." Li Zhinan said self-deprecatingly.
"Take your time to learn. I didn't learn it all of a sudden." Li Zhishi opened the car door.
Li Zhinan drove to the company, and Xiao Ye was very happy to be coaxed by several female assistants.
Seeing Li Zhinan running towards him, he stretched out his little hands and asked for a hug.
Li Zhinan hugged his son tightly and bent down to kiss his little head.
"Dad, I want a sister."
In the office, Ono sat on Li Zhinan's lap and suddenly spoke.
Li Zhinan was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly want a sister?"
"Because little sisters are so cute. All the students in my class have little sisters and brothers, but I don't." Xiao Ye propped up his chin, his little face full of thoughts: "Just now, a sister showed me her newborn daughter. She is so cute. I want one too."
Li Zhinan was embarrassed for a moment, so he could only coax her in a low voice: "Xiao Ye, don't worry, Dad will work hard in the future."
"Will you try to give me a little sister?" Ono blinked innocently, revealing a hint of joy.
"Uh... only women can give birth to children, dads can't." Li Zhinan explained seriously.
"Then I'll let my mother give birth to me." Xiao Ye reacted instantly: "I'll tell my mother when she comes back."
Li Zhinan felt inexplicably panicked. If Cheng Qian really agreed to give Xiaoye a younger sister, then who would she give birth to?
"Xiao Ye, Mommy has been very busy with work lately. Can you tell her when you're older?" Li Zhinan patiently coaxed his son.
"No, I want my sister now, right away." Xiao Ye shook his little head, and Xiao Cousin insisted.
For a moment, Li Zhinan was at a loss as to what to do with this little guy.
He could only hope now that he would quickly forget about having a younger sister and shift his attention elsewhere.
City B, with its tall buildings, is known as the city that never sleeps.
Ji Yichen and Cheng Qian finished discussing work matters with their partners. The discussion went quite smoothly, with only some details left to be finalized.
Ji Yichen drank a lot of wine, and Cheng Qian also drank two glasses. At this moment, after seeing off the guests, the two stood at the door of the restaurant.
"Let's go back to the hotel first." Ji Yichen said in a low voice, his eyes involuntarily looking at the woman beside him.
She dressed up specially to meet the guests today. She wore a decent light blue dress with a light texture. A thin strap went around her fair and slender neck. She wore a thin chain with a pendant that went straight into the middle of her plump breasts. She looked particularly gentle and elegant.
Ji Yichen's Adam's apple rolled.
She is not as youthful and bright as a girl in her early twenties, but she has more of the charm of a young woman.
His eyes and eyebrows reveal the tranquility that comes from experience, making people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze and the rain nourishes all things when they get along with him.
Ji Yichen felt that he must be crazy. There were many women who actively pursued him, some hinted at it, some explicitly, and some even boldly showed it to him.
But he felt nothing about it. He always felt that those women had too strong animal nature, with traces of the primitive jungle's competitive nature. Greed, snobbery, and ambition all blended together to make people impetuous.
Cheng Qian beside him was as gentle as a lily blooming in the dark night, emitting her own fragrance.
The calmer and composed she looked, the more he wanted to tear it apart.
The man's tall body couldn't help but sway. Seeing this, Cheng Qian immediately reached out and held his arm: "Brother Yichen, are you okay?"
Ji Yichen reached out and pressed his solar plexus: "I didn't expect that they could drink so well."
Cheng Qian saw the whole thing, and Ji Yichen was indeed forced to drink a lot of alcohol.
But Cheng Qian was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, as a top boss, Ji Yichen could send his subordinates to handle such social events and there was no need for him to show up in person.
"Xiao Qian, my legs are a little sore. Can I lean on you for a while?" Ji Yichen asked her softly.
Cheng Qian naturally had no objection, she nodded: "Sure, the driver might be stuck in traffic."
After getting her permission, Ji Yichen gently leaned his body towards her.
Cheng Qian could no longer maintain her balance by simply stroking one of his arms, so she immediately stretched out both arms, went around to his other side, and held him in place.
Not far away, a camera was flashing its light, recording the scene at the restaurant entrance.
The car arrived and the driver came down to help. He helped Ji Yichen into the car, and Cheng Qian also got in.
After the business car left, the person in the dark sent all the videos and photos he took to Li Zhinan.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. Li Zhinan had just taken a shower, and Xiao Ye had already fallen asleep on his big bed.
He moved slowly, but heard the constant beeps from his phone. He took a few steps over and turned it to silent mode.
His eyes were fixed on the screen of his mobile phone. The two people standing in front of the restaurant door made the jealousy in his eyes instantly burn to his chest and brain.
For a moment, Li Zhinan felt his ears buzzing.
He had never looked at Cheng Qian so seriously. At this moment, she was wearing a gentle and charming dress, snuggling tightly with Ji Yichen. Her graceful look was really touching.
Li Zhinan clenched his palm into a fist, but the next second, he slowly loosened it.
So what if I'm angry
He no longer had the qualifications to even send her a message to question her.
If they were married, he could even order her to stay in the laboratory and not run around.
But now, her life, like a kite with a broken string, is no longer under his control.
"Ji Yichen, don't go too far..." Li Zhinan had no choice but to blame all his anger on Ji Yichen, the green tea man.
During this period, Ji Yichen's various performances have demonstrated one thing: it turns out that men are just as good as women when it comes to tea.
Compared to Ji Yichen's secret seduction, Li Zhinan is like a negative example, straightforward.
"No..." Li Zhinan gritted his teeth. Over the years, he has been expanding his business empire, and he has been focused on making money. He has never managed things like relationships well.
Now, after four years of marriage, his mind was blank. Where should he start?
Li Zhinan thought impatiently for a long time. Finally, he turned around slowly and looked at the child sleeping on the bed.
So he picked up his phone, took a lot of photos, and then sent six photos of his son's cute sleeping face to Cheng Qian.
Finally, there was another sentence: "Xiao Ye may have missed you too much, and cried for a long time before falling asleep."
Li Zhinan waited anxiously for Cheng Qian's reply.
But after waiting until the next morning, Cheng Qian still didn't reply.
Li Zhinan's heart felt like it had sunk into an ice storage. What was going on? Didn't she care about the child anymore?
Or maybe, she and Ji Yichen drank too much last night and had sex while drunk?
Li Zhinan was shocked by his own idea. Although Cheng Qian was not a casual woman, Ji Yichen was.
Only when a woman is drunk does a man have a chance, and Ji Yichen is such a green tea person, he will definitely seize every opportunity to get close to her.
In the past, Cheng Qian was his wife, and Ji Yichen needed to be a gentleman. Now, she is a divorced young woman, and Ji Yichen seems to no longer need to control anything.
Li Zhinan didn't sleep well last night, and he still had to take care of the children in the morning. He felt inexplicably resentful.
"Xiao Ye, do you miss your mother?" Li Zhinan was too angry and decided to make a fuss about the child.
The little guy shook his head while drinking porridge: "No, Mommy has to work, Mommy is very tired."
Li Zhinan was stunned. Who taught her to be so considerate and sensible?
"Then don't you want to call your mother? Say good morning to her?" Li Zhinan asked with a gentle smile.
The little guy blinked and nodded: "Okay, then Dad will call Mom."
Li Zhinan finally found an excuse and he breathed a sigh of relief.
So, he picked up the phone and reminded his son: "Remember, it was you who wanted to call Mom, not Dad. If Mom asks, do you know what to say?"
"I know. Dad said we should say good morning to Mom."
"No, you should say good morning to her." Li Zhinan emphasized again.
Ono nodded happily, "Yeah, it's me who wants to say good morning to mom."
Li Zhinan felt that he must be crazy, trying to induce his child to check on his mother so early in the morning.
But he won't give up until he makes this call.
So, the call was made, and Ono turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello..." A low, hoarse and lazy male voice came.
