Chapter 136 Ji Yichen admits that he fell in love with Cheng Qian at first sight
Cheng Qian, who was about to step into the car, paused, then returned to her seat and sat down.
Li Zhinan panicked for a second and immediately looked at Cheng Qian.
I have to say that Ji Yichen's question, although seemingly casual, is actually a pitfall.
He must have lived on the surface of the moon in his previous life, so he is so good at digging.
Li Zhinan really wanted not to answer, but it was a fact that he went to see Cheng Yan last night and stayed with her all night.
"Well, she's fine." Li Zhinan's voice was obviously a little colder.
Ji Yichen sighed and said, "I'm glad you're alright. The club involved should take full responsibility. Have you asked the police to help investigate?"
Li Zhinan frowned and looked at Ji Yichen strangely: "I don't necessarily need to do this. Cheng Yan is not a child anymore. She can handle her own affairs."
Ji Yichen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right."
The reason why Ji Yichen felt that Li Zhinan's answer was inconsistent was because he learned from Luo Sheng, Fang Zhuo and others that Li Zhinan had helped Cheng Yan deal with all the big and small matters behind the scenes in the past.
Their conversation entered Cheng Qian's mind. She looked out the window at the service area, cars coming and going, and people's hurried footsteps, just like life.
In Cheng Yan's eyes, Li Zhinan is her everything, but she is the one who needs him to hold an umbrella for her.
Love and not love, how can we compare?
Li Zhinan felt that the atmosphere in the car was extremely tense and heavy.
Ono climbed into his arms, and as soon as the car started moving, his eyelids began to droop and he felt sleepy.
Li Zhinan reached out and patted him gently on the back, and the little guy soon fell asleep.
Li Zhinan sat in the last seat of the business car, while Ji Yichen and Cheng Qian sat in the two front seats respectively.
At this moment, Li Zhinan could only see Cheng Qian's profile. She seemed to be tired and fell asleep with her face facing the window.
Ji Yichen took out the document they were going to discuss today and looked at it. The car was quiet, but the mood of the three people was no longer calm.
Arriving at the hotel's front desk, Ji Yichen looked at the two people walking behind him and asked, "Are you staying separately? Or do you want a suite?"
Ji Yichen asked this because he was concerned that Xiaoye was too young and needed the care of his parents.
"Live separately!" Cheng Qian said softly.
Li Zhinan turned his dark eyes to the side and glanced at Cheng Qian, pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
After checking in, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. In the elevator, Ji Yichen said to Li Zhinan, "We've made an appointment with our partner to play golf this afternoon. Zhinan, where are you taking Xiaoye?"
Li Zhinan's handsome face was startled: "Are you going to play ball?"
Ji Yichen smiled and said, "Yes, he's a football fan. He said we should play basketball for a while first and then talk about work after dinner."
Li Zhinan wanted to forcefully ask to join in, but seeing Cheng Qian's cold expression, he immediately understood and said, "Then you guys should focus on your work first. I'll take Xiaoye out to play."
Cheng Qian glanced at her son who was still sleeping in Li Zhinan's arms and warned him, "Be careful."
Li Zhinan nodded.
The elevator reached the top floor, and Ji Yichen asked for a fairly large room for all three of them. His room was next to Cheng Qian's, while Li Zhinan's was a few rooms away.
When swiping his card to enter, Li Zhinan subconsciously glanced at the two people not far away.
I don’t know if he was overthinking it, but he always felt that when Cheng Qian was with Ji Yichen, she was relaxed and had a bright temperament.
On the contrary, when she was with him, her pretty face was cold and clear, like a thorny rose on the hill.
After opening the door, Li Zhinan wanted to put Xiaoye to bed, but the little guy jumped up and asked, "Where's Mommy?"
Li Zhinan looked at his son waking up like this, just like when he was a child. He couldn't help but want to laugh for a moment: "Your mother is in the next room."
"I want to go find her, I want my mom." The child who just woke up was a little grumpy.
Li Zhinan's eyes turned, and he immediately reached out and hugged his son: "Okay, I'll take you to find her."
Li Zhinan knocked on Cheng Qian's door with good reason.
When Cheng Qian opened the door, she saw Li Zhinan standing outside holding their sleepy-eyed son.
"The child is looking for you." Li Zhinan said in a hoarse voice.
Cheng Qian immediately reached out to hug her son, and the little guy threw himself into her arms dependently.
She was about to close the door, but it was held open by a large hand. Li Zhinan lowered his voice and said, "I want to talk to you."
Cheng Qian was already struggling to hold her son in one hand, and she was in a bad mood: "I have nothing to talk to you about."
Li Zhinan's expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "I can explain what happened last night..."
Cheng Qian was startled and looked up at the man's handsome face: "Li Zhinan, who cares where you went last night or who you met?"
Li Zhinan's handsome face turned red because of the stab. Perhaps, he was really being too sentimental.
Cheng Qian took the opportunity to push the door hard and close it.
Li Zhinan was forced to take two steps back, and the closed door almost hit him in the face.
He took a deep breath, put his hands on his hips, and his mind went blank for a moment.
If it were in the past, how could Cheng Qian dare to turn him away?
Sure enough, the woman has changed her mind and is no longer the same as before.
Li Zhinan narrowed his cold eyes and stared at the door next to him.
What did Ji Yichen mean? On the surface, he was bringing Cheng Qian here to discuss cooperation, but in reality, he wanted to use work as an excuse to take her to another city for a date?
If he hadn't brought his son with him, they would be together as a single man and a single woman. If nothing had happened, they would have been doing themselves a disservice.
Li Zhinan was furious. Although Ji Yichen was his friend of many years, he was so shameless as to steal his wife. He wanted to settle the score.
So, Li Zhinan knocked on Ji Yichen's door.
Ji Yichen opened the door and was a little surprised: "Zhi Nan, why didn't you take the child to bed?"
Li Zhinan strode in. Then, he stood beside the sofa and turned to stare at Ji Yichen: "Why did you bring up what happened last night in front of Cheng Qian?"
Ji Yichen looked innocent: "Zhi Nan, hasn't your relationship with Cheng Yan always been aboveboard? If Cheng Qian was your wife before, it would be inconvenient to mention it, but now that you're divorced, I'm just concerned about you and Cheng Yan. What's wrong?"
"Whether it's concern or provocation, you know it." Li Zhinan's handsome face turned pale and ugly: "Why is it that as soon as Cheng Qian and I divorced, you all pounced on me like wolves? What? You were already in the queue before we divorced? So where are you in the queue?"
Ji Yichen looked at Li Zhinan who suddenly lost his temper, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sure enough, the person who made the mistake has the loudest voice.
He really didn't understand where Li Zhinan's anger came from?
It was clearly him who made the mistake, he was the one who betrayed her mentally, and he was the one who neglected and ignored his wife.
How come in the end, the whole world owes him?
"Zhi Nan, I understand what you are saying, but do you understand your own heart? People should not be too greedy, and the same applies to matters of the heart. Love between three people is crowded and deformed. Of course, if you think you have privileges and can have three wives and four concubines, three palaces and six courtyards, then ignore what I said." Ji Yichen himself is at the pinnacle of power and wealth, so he sees through the tricks of the rich men around him, and there are also many women who are willing to play with them for money.
But how can a person be so greedy that he wants to get the most sincere heart without giving anything?
The anger on Li Zhinan's face seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. When fire meets ice, it is extinguished.
"I'm not that kind of person. You should understand me." Although Li Zhinan has all those powers, he has never been someone who treats feelings and women as playthings.
Ji Yichen nodded: "Yes, I initially thought that since you got married early, you must have valued relationships, but now, I don't dare to believe that. After your divorce, you care about your confidante while restricting your ex-wife's freedom. Aren't you wanting both?"
"I..." Li Zhinan was speechless for a moment.
Ji Yichen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down from above. The cars below the building looked like moving boxes.
Ji Yichen's eyes were filled with coolness, and his voice became three degrees colder. "Zhi Nan, if you want to play, you can find women who are willing to play with you. With your conditions, not to mention two, two hundred is not a problem. But you should know that Cheng Qian is not someone you can play with. She is a woman who takes work and life very seriously. She has a strong sense of morality. What she needs is a lover who can stay by her side, not a playmate."
Li Zhinan clearly wanted to come in to warn Ji Yichen, but unexpectedly, Ji Yichen taught him a lesson first.
"I've been married to her for four years. I know what she wants and what kind of person she is better than you do. It's not your turn to teach me how to behave." Li Zhinan's voice also turned cold.
"Do you really understand her?" Ji Yichen turned his head and looked at him: "Then tell me, what is her favorite color? What does she like to eat? What sports does she like?"
Li Zhinan frowned and said calmly, "These don't mean anything."
"No, I haven't been with her for a long time. I may know her better than you, Zhinan. Since you didn't want to get to know her well after four years of marriage, and now you are divorced, you are jumping around again. Why make yourself like a clown and make people laugh?" Ji Yichen would not hold back. He wanted to wake up this person who played with love in one go.
Li Zhinan felt as if he had been hit by a stick, his handsome face turning red and blue.
Ji Yichen turned around and looked at him seriously and earnestly: "I'm telling you this because I consider you a friend. Xiao Qian is very important to me... Don't try to deceive her with cheap and hypocritical feelings."
Li Zhinan narrowed his cold eyes and stared at Ji Yichen sharply: "While you are accusing me here, have you ever reflected on your own behavior? It's only been a few days since Cheng Qian and I divorced, but seeing how deeply in love you are, you must have liked her for a long time, right?"
Ji Yichen also looked a little uncomfortable. Indeed, he was visiting the old building that day and saw Cheng Qian taking pictures downstairs.
In fact, he watched her upstairs for a long time. The sadness and reluctance on her fair face made Ji Yichen inexplicably distressed, especially when her eyes were red and she kept looking down at the photos in her mobile phone, as if she was about to lose something important and she couldn't say goodbye properly.
At that moment, Ji Yichen felt like a stone was thrown into his heart. He actually wanted to know how touching the story written in her eyes was.
"Zhi Nan, I'm not lying to you, I fell in love with her...at first sight." Ji Yichen looked up, staring into Li Zhinan's eyes and said word by word.
