When he opened his eyes again, they were covered with frost.
Asking him to bow his head and show kindness to someone who doesn't care about him at all?
No.
He's not that mean.
The high-ranking official who had been in a high position for a long time had never experienced such a confusing moment.
He also couldn't imagine how to make a move in a chess game that had already gone off the track and was no longer under his control.
Yan Jili closed the book.
With a cold face, turn off the lights and go to sleep.
But this was destined to be a difficult, cold and confrontational night.
Shen Zhiyi was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, sleeping soundly.
Early the next morning, she received a call from her best friend.
"A drinking party?"
"Okay, I'm just bored, let's go have some fun. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
She hung up the phone.
I opened my wardrobe in a good mood and started choosing an evening gown.
*
The lights are coming on.
At the cocktail party, Yan Jili watched another partner, Lao Xu, making a video call with an expressionless face.
"Honey, can you see that?" Lao Xu waved towards the video and gave a rather frivolous smile. "There are no women here. They've all been scared away by that cold-faced Lawyer Yan."
He held up his phone and turned it around.
Finally, the camera was focused on Yan Jili, who had a sour face.
"Look, isn't it scary?"
On the other end of the video, Lao Xu’s wife could only laugh awkwardly.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore~" Lao Xu blew several kisses to his wife, "I'm hanging up. I'll kiss you when I get home."
Yan Jili's gaze was as cold as ice.
He took a sip of wine.
He sneered and said to Lao Xu: "This is a public place. If you are so worthless, it will really lower the quality of our law firm."
Lao Xu put away his phone and clicked his tongue in disapproval.
"That's not necessarily true."
"If our partners knew I was a responsible and family-oriented man like me, they would definitely think our law firm was reliable."
"Hey, didn't you get the certificate too?"
He approached Yan Jili like a melon eater, winking and saying, "You came out to attend a cocktail party, and your wife didn't even ask?"
He testified to this matter and did not deny it.
Only a few of my most trusted friends know.
In fact, they didn't know it at first.
only.
In the cold and strict office of the lawyer, a photo of a woman suddenly appeared in the past few days.
It was just placed on the desk.
It's hard not to notice.
He was a bit talkative that day and asked a question.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jili suddenly started to mention that he had already obtained a marriage certificate, which scared him.
He and Yan Jili have known each other for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen him talk so much on his own initiative.
Seeing that Yan Jili had a sullen face and didn't respond to him for a long time, Lao Xu moved closer and stabbed him again.
"Could it be that your marriage is a business one and she has no feelings for you, so she doesn't bother to care about you?"
Yan Jili's body suddenly stiffened.
The hand holding the wine glass tightened instantly, and the veins on his hand shone horribly.
He looked at Lao Xu coldly.
Pursed her lips.
"Oh."
"She begged to marry me."
"Besides, adults are all about considering their own interests. Someone like you who is so eager to show his courtesy to a woman is worthy of praise, isn't it?"
"Oh~~~ She begged to marry you." Lao Xu said with a half-smile, "I don't care. What's the benefit or no benefit to my wife?"
"That's a community of shared destiny, and it must be measured by love."
He looked at Yan Jili with a look of dismay and said, "Forget it. Even if I tell you, a cold-hearted person like you, you won't understand."
Yan Jili stared at the wine in the glass, his expression dazed.
㳎…love?
He narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine.
Lao Xu's gaze suddenly fixed on a spot not far away. He patted Yan Jili and said, "Hey, look at that person. Does she look like your wife?"
Yan Jili raised his head and looked over.
Shen Zhiyi was wearing a black gilded fishtail skirt, holding a wine glass, and laughingly talking to the daughters of the rich next to her.
There were a few young and handsome men around her. When they saw her, their eyes lit up and they came over to chat with her.
A cold light flashed in Yan Jili's eyes.
He stared at those annoying men and the charming smile on Shen Zhiyi's face.
A fire suddenly burned in my chest.
He slowly tightened his fingers.
With a snap—
The wine glass is cracked.
