4: 20 PM. Nan Xi and Ji Shanglin had gone to the kindergarten to pick up Ji Yi. Normally, Nan Xi would talk a lot, but today, he was silently looking out the window.
It was obvious that he was preoccupied.
After receiving Ji Jing's report, although Nanxin was happier than on the way home, a perceptive person would be able to tell that she was not in a good mood and was preoccupied with something.
Today was the first day that they moved out. In the morning, Nan Xi specifically ordered Aunt Liu to add a few more dishes in order to celebrate their move.
But at dinner she was not happy.
After dinner, as usual, Nan Xi was coaxing Ji Jingyi to sleep in the master bedroom. Although there was a children's room here, this little fellow didn't want to sleep on its own.
Nanxi and Ji Shanglin could do nothing about him, so they could only follow his wishes and coax him to sleep while they lay on the bed.
After determining that Ji Jing had fallen asleep, Nan Xi hesitantly said to Ji Shanglin, "Erm … Can we go out and talk for a while? "
Ji Shanglin had been keeping an eye on the mood of South Stream, so he nodded and lifted the blanket to get off the bed.
He first went downstairs. After covering the little fellow with the blanket, he turned off the overhead light, leaving behind only the dim light of a small lamp.
He quietly closed the door and went to the hall on the first floor.
The environment of the new house was naturally very good. It was bright, spacious, and pleasant.
Ji Shanglin was concocting red wine, but Nanxi was too embarrassed to disturb him.
He sat on the soft leather sofa and watched him skillfully mix the two wines. He lightly swirled the wine cup in his hand and poured a mouthful into the small cup.
He walked over with the wine and two goblets in his hand.
After pouring two cups, he picked up one of the cups and raised it towards Nan Xi, taking a sip.
Nan Xi didn't pay much attention to this. He raised his head and gulped down an entire cup of wine. It just so happened that wine could strengthen one's courage!
Ji Shanglin narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. He didn't know if she was just taking advantage of the wine to get rid of her worries or if she was always so tasteless.
After Nanxi finished drinking, she took a tissue and roughly wiped the corner of her mouth, "I'm sorry, I drink because I don't know how to drink."
Ji Shanglin knew that she had thick nerves, so he didn't mind. He swirled his goblet and asked, "Say it, why are you looking for me?"
Nan Xi's expression was much more serious.
"That... "I know that you're not interested in the Nan Family's business. If you wanted to, you would have long been in the bag. The reason why you delayed like this is only to vent your anger for the flesh."
Ji Shanglin did not deny what Nanxi had said. What she said was the truth.
"I want... "Since it has already been so long, your anger should be almost gone. As for this Nan Family project, can you give me the right to speak?"
Nanxi said this very awkwardly. She knew that this was a plea for help.
She would rather make a deal with someone, but she could not find the capital to make a deal with them!
Ji Shanglin was not someone who was easy to talk to. South Stream did not know what ridicule he would say next, or whether he would just directly refuse.
She didn't know what to do, so she felt uneasy. She crossed her tense hands and rubbed them together, causing the joints to turn white.
"Alright."
"Hmm?!" Nan Xi froze for a moment, then looked into Ji Shanglin's eyes, "You, you …" "You've agreed to it?!"
"Dongqing will talk to you about this tomorrow. You can handle whatever you want on that project."
Today, he was very clear about what had happened in Nanxi's detention center. He was also very clear about what had happened in Nanxi's detention center after she had left. Although he didn't know the specifics of what had happened during this period, he could already guess from Nanxi's performance!
This woman, Nanxi, would rarely show weakness.
The reason why she could lower her head was definitely because of Nan Chun Heng!
Actually, what Ji Shanglin admired about her the most was … She never talked about her son.
Logically speaking, for her son to be so attached to her, it shouldn't be a trivial matter …
Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, as long as she incited her son to ask for them, he would find a way to satisfy her!
However, she had never been a pampered person, much less used her son as a tool to gain benefits for herself. Just based on this point alone, Ji Shanglin already had a whole new level of respect for her.
She … Not like other women!
Nan Xi was still sitting there stupidly without a thought. It had to be known that she had been depressed for the entire afternoon because of this. Who knew how many brain cells she had lost?
Ji Shanglin had not expected him to agree so readily!
The heck, she found it a little hard to accept that everything had gone smoothly!
"Erm, don't you have any conditions?"
"What do you think I care about you?"
Actually, he wasn't willing to admit it. The body of this little girl in front of him was extremely alluring, even being able to brush his hair until it tickled his heart.
Of course, it was impossible for her to know.
"Cough!" She lightly coughed to moisten her throat, flattened her mouth, and shrugged her shoulders helplessly. She had nothing to say.
Ji Shanglin suddenly thought of something as he told her, "How about this? From now on, massage me every night for half an hour. What do you think?"
South Stream looked at Ji Shanglin as he blinked his eyes a few times, as if wanting to see if there was any trap.
"Just massage her temples?"
"You still want to give me a full-body massage?" Ji Shanglin raised his brows slightly, "If you want to, I'm willing to give you a chance to show off."
Nan Xi quickly shook her head, pressing her temples was different than pressing her whole body. Although it was quite awkward, at least it would not make her blush.
Slightly thinking about it, Ji Shanglin was so light that it didn't seem like he was going to fall for it … She was only wearing her boxers when she was massaged on the bed, and the sight of it sent shivers down her spine.
The heck, doctors don't discriminate against gender, but Ji Shanglin's figure was too good. Sometimes, she couldn't control her body's reaction and wanted to steal a peek.
"Then it's happily decided. In the future, I will massage you for half an hour every day. What about you, leave this project of the Nan Family to me!"
Ji Shanglin looked at her without replying, cup in hand.
Nan Xi poured another cup for himself and filled it to the brim. He carefully clinked it against Ji Shanglin's glass and said, "Let's have a happy cooperation!"
As she spoke, she raised her head and began to drink without even looking at Ji Shanglin's expression.
He burped after drinking it.
Ji Shanglin seemed to be used to it, but he didn't roll his eyes at her. He spoke in a neither cold nor hot tone, "Come here, starting from tonight."
"Shall we start tonight?"
"You want to go back on your word?"
"No, no, no!" Nan Xi quickly shook his head.
The two glasses of red wine caused her face to redden slightly, but she was absolutely not drunk. South Stream's alcohol tolerance was innate. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be easy for her to get drunk unless she was drunk on her own!
Nan Xi first went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then he walked behind Ji Shanglin and reminded him, "When I press on you, relax your whole body. This will have a better effect!"
Ji Shanglin lightly closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of comfort.
Nan Xi skillfully pressed the button, and then moved his hand down to place it on Ji Shanglin's shoulder, "I don't think you're very tired today, why don't you press it on your shoulder for the remaining ten minutes?"
"You still need to take off your clothes and lie down?"
"No need!" Nan Xi's old face turned red, "Just sit properly!"
As his words fell, Nanxi gently rubbed the comfortable fabric across Ji Shanglin's shoulder, allowing Ji Shanglin to experience what it meant to be comfortable once again.
After an unknown amount of time, he raised his hand with the impulse to grasp South Stream's small hand, but his fingers moved and then gave up.
Time flew by quietly. Ji Shanglin felt like he was back in a peaceful time. Warmth, comfort, and comfort.
However, before he could enjoy such a beautiful moment, the little girl behind him had already stopped what she was doing. "Alright, it's the end of the day!"
She stomped up the stairs.
Ji Shanglin felt a little regretful. It shouldn't have been half an hour just now, it should have been at least two hours!
He finished his glass of red wine and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, Nanxi was scratching her head with a book of words in her hands. Ever since that day when she said she wanted to learn English, she had become serious.
"Hey, how do I read this?"
"Have you learned phonetic symbols?"
"…"
