After hanging up the phone, Lu Anqi glanced at Zhan Yan provocatively, then left while walking on her seven-inch high heels. Although she left, the people around her started pointing and whispering.
"Isn't that Wei Zhanyan from the cleaning department? I heard she just found a BMW prince, why is he involved with Director Ji now? "
"Oh, what's so strange about that? He was born to be a mistress, what's there to be afraid of?"
"It's quite common for a woman like her to be picked up by several men at the same time. Just thinking about it makes her feel really disgusted."
"Hey, what nonsense are you guys talking about? Zhan Yan is not that kind of person." Xiang Qing couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted angrily at the crowd. She was the famous Little Chili Pepper. No one wanted to provoke her, so the crowd quickly dispersed.
"Zhan Yan, are you alright?" She then asked worriedly, "Don't listen to what those people are saying."
Zhan Yan lowered her head, her lips revealing a ridiculing smile. Actually, what Lu Anqi said was not wrong. She was the legitimate fiancee of Ji Weiyang, and she, was forced to be her' mistress'.
When Zhan Yan walked out of the hotel, it was pouring rain outside. She was forced to stand under the eaves to avoid the rain. Then, coincidentally, Lu Anqi swaggered out of the front door of the hotel, and Ji Weiyang's dark green Land Rover stopped right in front of the entrance. He was dressed in a well-ironed black Armani suit, and held an azure blue umbrella in his hand as he placed the umbrella on Lu Anqi's head. Her graceful posture and extraordinary bearing were completely different from the rogue man that had pestered her last night.
She watched helplessly as Lu Anqi's body was practically pressed against his chest, and the two of them were intimately hugging each other as they sat in the car together. Then, the car drove away, passing through the rain.
Zhan Yan hid under the eaves, arms crossed across her chest, shivering uncontrollably. Her head was pressed extremely low, and her face that had been hit suddenly hurt. The pain was bone-piercing, so painful that she couldn't even breathe. For some inexplicable reason, tears welled up in her eyes.
The rain got heavier and heavier, there was no sign of stopping, it was always under the eaves, cold and hungry, and there was no way out. She returned to the hotel, borrowed an umbrella from Qing, and walked through the rain towards the station.
Wind and rain were mixed together, and a fierce wind was raging. There were actually fewer buses in the first place, so Zhan Yan had to wait for more than an hour before she could finally get to the last bus. By the time she got back to her rented apartment, her clothes were already soaked.
Even worse, it was very easy for the slums to turn off the water and electricity during a rainstorm. It was an extravagant dream to take a hot bath and go out into the cold. After Zhan Yan changed into a clean set of clothes, she curled her body into a blanket but she was still trembling non-stop from the cold. There was nothing to eat at home. She had been starving and only wished for the dawn to come.
Outside the window, the wind and rain were raging and rattling the windows. Lightning flashed in front of his eyes and the rumbling thunder made his eardrums hurt. In this sort of night filled with thunder and lightning, the surroundings were completely dark. Zhan Yan's body was curled into a ball, and fear unrestrainedly spread from his chest.
Zhan Yan's body started to feel uncomfortable. Her hands and feet were cold, her heartbeat accelerated, and her body felt cold and hot. She hid under the blanket and coughed fiercely, making her face turn completely red.
With great difficulty, he managed to stop his coughing. His face was drenched with tears. Her lips quivered, and she almost blurted out a name, "Vayan …"
You know I'm sick, Vuyo, and I'm in pain and I'm scared. But where are you? Was it in Lu Anqi's hotbed?
Thinking up to here, Zhan Yan continuously shook her head, and bitter tears rolled down her face. No, she didn't want to think about it anymore. She didn't dare to think about it … The images of him and Lu Anqi's embrace constantly flashed through her mind. She couldn't bear it, but there was nowhere to run. The only thing she could do was force herself to stop thinking about that man.
However, why did she still have a trace of hope in her heart? She dreamt of opening her eyes and seeing him descend from the sky and embrace her like he did last night. He told her, "Yan Yan, don't be afraid. I am here."
"Yan Yan Yan!" The door to the bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and Ji Weiyang walked in with big steps.
In the pitch black darkness, he found Zhan Yan's location accurately and pulled her into her chest. However, the temperature of the contact was boiling hot, causing him to be shocked as his palm pressed against her forehead. She was actually having a high fever.
With a voice as deep and anxious as a cello, Zhan Yan forced a smile out of her mouth. For a moment, she really thought that this was an illusion. Ah, so it turned out that excessive thinking would cause one to hallucinate.
"Yan Yan, wake up. Tell me, what exactly is the place that makes you uncomfortable?" Ji Weiyang shook her body vigorously, and finally awakened Zhan Yan's consciousness.
Her body was limp in his arms, but she still continued to struggle stubbornly, "What are you still doing here? Don't touch me, Ji Weiyang, are you dirty!? "
There was still the pungent perfume on Lu Anqi's body remaining, and those extremely disgusting scenes quickly flashed past her mind. He had just left Lu Anqi's bed, and now he was holding her. He was really dirty.
"You better be honest with me. If you want to cause trouble, then let's split the time!" Ji Weiyang was furious. Her body temperature was at least 39 degrees. If it continued to burn like this, it would be weird if it did not burn his brain.
He quickly got off the bed and groped his way into the kitchen. He found the antipyretic medicine in the medicine box. Because there was no electricity, there was no hot water in the house. He could only use mineral water.
"Yan Yan, take the pill first. If you still can't get it back, we must go to the hospital." He embraced Zhan Yan in her arms and brought the bottle to her lips. However, Zhan Yan stubbornly pushed him away, and the white pill fell down to the ground.
"Go away, I don't want you to care. Even if you die, it has nothing to do with you." The current Zhan Yan was like a grumpy child, her entire body full of thorns.
"Wei Zhanyan, what are you doing now?" Ji Weiyang could no longer suppress her anger. Did she not know that she was sick? As a doctor, didn't she understand how dangerous it was to have a high fever? She was simply throwing a tantrum at him with her life.
Ji Weiyang angrily ripped open the package and stuffed the last two white pills into his mouth. Then, he pulled her into his embrace and kissed her as he used his lips to forcefully inject the medicine into her mouth.
Bitter and astringent feelings spread around each other's lips and tongues. Zhan Yan's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she was constantly struggling in his embrace. However, Ji Weiyang was still tightly hugging her, kissing her until the pill completely melted.
Zhan Yan finally left his embrace. Before she even had the chance to speak, she violently coughed once more, a series of hurried coughs causing Ji Weiyang's heart to hurt as well. "Yan Yan be good and drink the water. You'll feel much better after drinking it." He asked Zhan Yan to lean on her shoulder and pass the water to her lips.
This time, Zhan Yan did not resist. After gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, the bitter taste in her mouth was diluted and she felt much better.
Zhan Yan leaned into his embrace without strength, her wet eyelashes lightly closed, and she mumbled bitterly: "What are you still doing here? Wouldn't it be better to let me live and die by myself? Even if I were to die, no one would feel heartache. No one has ever truly felt heartache for me before … "
Because she was sick, Zhan Yan was like an aggrieved child, crying non-stop. Ji Weiyang gently wiped the tears on her face, and did not stop to gently coax, "Be good, don't cry, don't cry on your face."
Ji Weiyang used a thick blanket to wrap Zhan Yan tightly, the high fever causing Zhan Yan's head to hurt. After taking the medicine, he quickly fainted. He lay beside her, quietly gazing at her sleeping visage. In her dreams, the frown between her eyebrows had never relaxed. "He subconsciously stretched out his finger to smooth the space between her eyebrows." Fool, do you know how much I love you? I have... I love you so much. "
A light kiss fell on her forehead, as light as a feather. He kissed her carefully, afraid that he would wake her up. Ji Weiyang supported himself with one hand behind his head while the other arm tightly hugged Zhan Yan.
Outside the window, the wind and rain continued to blow, lightning crackled, and thunder boomed. In this narrow space, however, it was extremely quiet. In this moment, their world only had each other.
Ji Weiyang's gaze didn't leave Zhan Yan's body for a long time. If he could, looking at him like this for a lifetime, how great would that be?
Tonight, there was a tornado. After he drove back to Ji Family Great House, his father basically did not allow him to go out. After all, this kind of weather contained too many unpredictable dangers. However, he could not let Zhan Yan go in his heart, so, even if he was going against his father, he still came. It was fortunate that he came.
In the dark night, the phone on the bedside table continuously flashed. Although the signal was not good, Ji Weiyang was able to hear the assistant's report with difficulty.
"Director Ji, Miss Lu's condition has stabilized, you don't have to worry."
"Yes." Ji Weiyang responded without any emotion, then hung up the phone.
His gaze once again fell upon Zhan Yan's small, pale face. It was only in a deep and serious manner, and his long fingertip lightly rubbed against the side of her face, turning the deep look in his eyes into one of love.
He knew that Lu Anqi had embarrassed her. At one point in time, he had thought that it was because of his excessive indulgence towards Lu Anqi that she dared to recklessly hurt him.
In these three years, it was the first time he got angry at Lu Anqi, and he ruthlessly spoke to her. The direct consequence was that Angel got sick on the spot.
It was only after the doctor had given her the tranquilizer that she calmed down. After she regained her senses, she held his hand and cried non-stop, saying that she did not intentionally hurt Zhan Yan. It was just that she was unable to control herself. In the face of such an innocent and helpless patient, other than to forgive, what else could he do?
The rain continued until the next morning.
When Zhan Yan woke up, the sky was bright and the room was completely empty. She was still alone in her solitude, everything that had happened last night was like a dream, or maybe it had been a dream in the first place.
The sky was clear, the sky washed by the heavy rain was still gray. Therefore, after the storm, there would not necessarily be a beautiful sky, nor would there be a rainbow.
Zhan Yan got off the bed after getting dressed, she had been sweating all night and her body was sticky, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She took a shower, then sat in front of the dressing mirror and lowered her head to wipe her hair. When she raised her head again, the mirror revealed the figure of a tall man.
His fingertip was a little cold, and his long fingers pierced through her fine hair. Whether intentionally or not, he touched her gently.
Zhan Yan quietly looked at the reflection of the figure in the mirror, her eyes slowly tearing up. Lu Anqi's words were still ringing in her ears like sharp blades piercing into her heart, constantly reminding her that this man no longer belonged to her.
A few months ago, she at least had a legal marriage certificate, but now, no matter how highly she thought of herself, she was still the shameless vixen Lu Anqi had spoken of.
"Ji Weiyang, do you know what you're doing? We already have nothing to do with each other, why are you still bothering me! " Zhan Yan growled as if he had lost control of himself, and snatched back the towel in his hand.
Ji Weiyang was not annoyed, his expression was warm: "Are you hungry? I just bought some nourishing cinnamon congee so that I can have a bite when it's hot and then taste the medicine. "
His warmth was like poison, Zhan Yan knew that the deeper she went, the more she would never be able to recover. She bit her lips and resisted the urge to cry as she said coldly, "No need. I'll leave Director Ji's congee for your fiancée to drink. I, Fortune, can't afford it."
Ji Weiyang's tall and big body was already standing in front of her. He was as tall and graceful as Ao Xue, and his handsome eyebrows were locked tightly, "Yan Yan, Angel did indeed go a little too far, but she's a patient. You don't have to fuss about it with her."
"Is she a patient?" Zhan Yan laughed sarcastically, "No, I am the one who was sick. I must have gone crazy and continued to tangle with you."
The corner of her mouth raised into a stubborn smile, with tears shining down from the bottom of her eyes, "Actually, what Lu Anqi said is not wrong, I'm just Xiao San who can't bear to see the light of day. Ji Weiyang, you turned me into this, are you satisfied with it?"
His face was dark and his eyes were filled with love. "Yan Yan, listen to my explanation …"
"I don't want to hear anything." Zhan Yan suddenly raised her voice, using both hands to hold tightly onto her ears, her expression becoming extremely painful. Go, the further you go, the better. You must never appear in front of me again. "
Ji Weiyang was silent. The gaze that fell on her was even deeper than the ocean, his back was ramrod straight. He stood still like Mt.
Zhan Yan's emotions became even more out of control, and tears still continued to fall, "Ji Weiyang, do you have to force me like this? Are you only willing if I die? "
She curled up into a weak ball, crying out sorrowfully and despairingly. Ji Weiyang's sword-like brows furrowed deeply, his chest felt as if it had been struck by something heavy, and intense pain spread through his limbs and bones. He subconsciously stretched out his arm, wanting to wipe away her tears and ease her pain. However, his arm was frozen in mid-air, and didn't land for a long time.
"Alright, I'll go. "Yan Yan Yan, if this is what you want, I will grant you your wish." In the end, Ji Weiyang gave in, he picked up the jacket left on the side and turned to walk out, but the moment he held onto the door handle, he hesitated.
He turned his back to her and said in a low and hoarse voice that sounded like the saddest tune on a cello, "Yan Yan, take care of yourself without me by your side, don't let yourself get sick, and don't cry anymore. Yan Yan, you must be fine."
Behind him, Zhan Yan bit her lips and her face was covered in tears. What kind of patience did she need in order to keep herself from crying out loud?
Ji Weiyang had finally left as she wished, but why was she not happy at all? Instead, at this moment, he felt that his chest was empty, as if his entire heart had been hollowed out.
Zhan Yan forced herself to eat, drink medicine, and continue eating even after she vomited. It was just as he said before, she was taking good care of herself. She sat down on the sofa and opened the book. However, her mind was completely blank. She couldn't see a single word inside.
Half a month passed in a row, and Ji Weiyang did not reappear. In the end, he completely disappeared from her life, and left not a single trace behind.
In the past half month, Ji Weiyang had been very busy. The transformation of the old city district was officially launched. As the chief developer, he had to attend various ceremonies and press conferences, as well as personally supervise the progress of the project. During the day, there was an endless amount of work to do. At night, there were also frequent incidents that occurred at the pier.
Someone brought the prohibited items to his port in the dark and secretly traded them in his underground area. Coincidentally, they were also caught by the inspecting team. If the matter wasn't forcefully suppressed by his brother-in-law, he would have been in big trouble.
Inside an extremely luxurious cabin, Ji Weiyang leaned lazily on the large leather sofa and started smoking with a frown. In front of him, Tang Feng paced back and forth anxiously.
"Who do you think did it? "F * ck, he's too old, don't let laozi catch him, otherwise laozi will castrate him."
Ji Weiyang let out a light puff of smoke, and casually placed his fingertips on the crystal ashtray, flicking the ash on his cigarette. "The methods used to deal with the recent events are all the same. It's clear that he did it all by himself, and he did it all in the direction of me."
Tang Feng's face was gloomy, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anyone who would have the guts to provoke Ji Family.
"What has Tang Yu been doing recently?" After a moment of silence, Ji Weiyang suddenly asked.
"You suspect him?" Tang Feng was slightly shocked, "No, it can't be him. I've been keeping an eye on his every move. Recently, my mom gave him a kiss. He was busy preparing for the wedding during the day and was drinking himself to death on the boat at night. It was definitely not him. "
Ji Weiyang coldly snorted, the corners of his mouth curled up in a knowing smile. "Even if he didn't do it, it's not like he knows nothing. It's just that Tang Yu is not willing to leak information for us. "
Tang Feng rubbed his nose, but did not say anything. Tang Yu had always held a grudge, but this time, Ji Weiyang had messed up both him and Zhan Yan.
"Anyone on the S market knew that I, Ji Weiyang, would not touch that thing, so no one dared to openly oppose Ji Family. "Have someone check if any Jiang Long has passed through S City recently, the problem must be with those people."
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Ji Weiyang extinguished the cigarette butt that was about to burn up from the tip of his finger into the ashtray, then elegantly stood up, "Let's go, let's go and see that drunk and dreaming little brother of yours."
When the two of them went into the private room, Tang Yu was happily playing on top of a long-legged, large-eyed beauty.
"You go out first." Tang Feng instructed with a cold face. The beauty was very tactful, he quickly put on his clothes and left.
"How boring." Tang Yu muttered as he sat down on the sofa and slowly pulled up his pants.
Tang Feng walked over and kicked him, and felt a little disappointed that he had failed. "Take a look at how you are now, and let the Xu family know that the marriage is going to blow."
"Then brag, in any case, I don't want to marry." Brother, what right do you have to control me? Do you know what love is? Do you know what it means to have gone through thick and thin? Isn't it a cloud to remove Wu Shan? "
"Dammit, stop bullshitting me." Tang Feng cursed.
On the other hand, Ji Weiyang lightly clapped with both hands, emitting a few monotonous sounds of applause. " He hadn't expected Tang Second Young Master to be so devoted. But unfortunately, your eyes are fixated on someone else's woman. "
"Your woman?" Tang Yu laughed wildly, "Third brother, I think I should remind you that Zhan Yan is not your woman, she is only your ex-wife. You have no right to imprison her. "
"A piece of paper is nothing to me. She is my woman, and she is destined to be mine all her life. "
Tang Yu laughed sarcastically, "How do you know she isn't my woman? I slept with her. "
"You f * cking dare to say that again?" Ji Weiyang's blood-red eyes were mixed with viciousness and ruthlessness. He grabbed him by the collar, lifted him off the couch, and punched him in the side of the face.
"Viyan, what are you doing?" Tang Feng was shocked, he hurried forward to stop it, but he could not stop Ji Weiyang's fist.
After a few consecutive punches, Tang Yu was still able to resist at first, but in the end, he didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Enough! Do you want to kill him? " After all, the one who was beaten up was his little brother. Ji Weiyang rarely fought with anyone, but Tang Feng was extremely clear on how ruthless his fists were.
"Why don't you ask him if he deserves to die? He actually wanted to bring Zhan Yan to Thailand? Was he not clear about what that place was? He deliberately pulled Zhan Yan into a dark vortex. " Ji Weiyang's eyes turned blood-red, and he firmly pressed Tang Yu onto the wall.
