Ji Weiyang remained silent as he stuck the transparent cup's wall to his lips. Then, he raised his head and drank all of the strong wine in the cup in one gulp. He just did not know how to face Zhan Yan, so he did not dare go home.
What a year period, that was only lies. Only by having children, would they be able to trap Zhan Yan for the rest of their lives. All along, what he wanted was Zhan Yan's life.
Ji Weiyang was drunk in the bar, so he called Zhan Yan.
It was just dawn when Zhan Yan rushed over to the bar, and entered the private room using the address that Tang Feng had given her. At this time, the private box was completely empty, Tang Feng had long taken the woman to get a room. As for Ji Weiyang, he lay unconscious on the sofa, his suit jacket thrown to the side. His shirt was also pressed up against his body, the buttons on his collar were pulled apart, revealing his strong chest.
Zhan Yan stood beside him and sighed helplessly. After that, she squatted in front of him and began to button the front of his chest.
Her gentle and thick palm suddenly grabbed onto her small hand, and at some point, she had opened his eyes, slightly narrowing them as she stared at her. Only, his eyes were unfocused, without a trace of focus, and Zhan Yan could not even see her own reflection in his eyes.
"Vuyo, you're drunk. I'll help you back." Zhan Yan tried to shake off his hand, but he was held tightly. Zhan Yan was in pain, her eyebrows locked tight.
"Let go, you're hurting me."
As for him, he was still reclining on the sofa. He didn't move or say anything as he just stared at her quietly. This time, Zhan Yan did not struggle, and just let him hold her hand, she raised her chin slightly, and looked up at him. Since he wanted to endure, then she would just stay here for the night.
But then, she thought wrong again, the gaze Ji Weiyang looked at her became clearer and clearer, his lips slowly raised into a demonic smile, he suddenly bent down and grabbed her lips, and forcefully inhaled.
His snake-like tongue slid into the cavity, heavy with the smell of wine and light tobacco, and he licked every inch of soft skin in her mouth before finally entangling her little tongue and sucking hungrily at the honey in her mouth. She couldn't breath after hearing his kiss. The suffocating feeling made her panic. She clenched her fist and beat on his chest. He was as sturdy as a mountain, and even though she was beating him, he didn't move an inch.
Zhan Yan gradually went limp in his embrace. Just before he was about to suffocate, he finally let go of her. However, her slippery tongue still continued to lick and kiss on her cherry red lips.
Zhan Yan panted heavily, her eyes brimming with tears. Her fist was still beating on his chest, venting out her dissatisfaction.
"Are you done yet?" Ji Weiyang grabbed her wrist. His black eyes began to lose focus again.
Zhan Yan's lips were slightly red and swollen from his kiss, as she stood up angrily and left. Ji Weiyang held her hand the entire time and followed her out of the bar.
Zhan Yan took out the key from his body, and after spending a bit of effort, she finally managed to place him in the Range Rover, and then directly drove him back to the mountain peak's villa. It was a good thing that Ji Weiyang was sleeping in the front passenger seat, but he had really drunk too much and vomited quite a bit the moment he returned to the villa.
"Zhan Yan, how can you treat me like this, how can you be so ruthless …"
After Zhan Yan finished listening, her heart was clogged up and tears fell silently.
After spending a bit of effort to help Ji Weiyang return to his bedroom, he finally quietened down. He laid on the bed and slept, his breathing steady and even. Zhan Yan sat on the side of the bed, her hand gently caressing his handsome face. She suddenly felt glad that she did not tell him the truth about her miscarriage on impulse.
"Weiyang, everything is over. Even if you knew, our Little Yan wouldn't be able to come back. Since nothing can change, why do you need to add to our pain? Let's call it a day." She took his cold palm and pressed it against her forehead.
In the early morning of the next day, when Ji Weiyang woke up, his head was pounding. As expected, hangover wasn't a pleasant affair, and alcohol could only numb him for a short while.
He propped himself up and sat up on the bed. Then, he discovered that Zhan Yan was lying on the side of the bed.
"You're awake? A headache? I'll go get you some honey water. " After Zhan Yan finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. Very quickly, he handed over a cup of warm honey water.
Ji Weiyang drank an entire cup, then spoke in a low and hoarse voice, "Prepare breakfast, then pack up your things."
"Pack up?" Zhan Yan did not understand.
"Come with me to Harbin. We have a project there to start." Ji Weiyang explained in a simple manner.
Zhan Yan nodded, changed her clothes and entered the kitchen. Not long after, food was served. While Ji Weiyang was eating, she went upstairs to pack up his things. He said that after about a week, Zhan Yan had picked seven shirts, and put them neatly into the luggage case. She also brought some daily necessities.
When she was done packing his things, Ji Weiyang had already changed into a clean and straight suit, took the travel case from her hands, and walked towards the garage.
Ji Weiyang himself drove from S City to Harbin, a six hour drive away. It was neither far nor close. In the long six hours, the two of them almost didn't have any interactions. Zhan Yan took care of him and didn't sleep all night.
The sound system was playing with elegant and light music, although Ji Weiyang did not say it out loud, he was still careful with his actions.
He was focused on driving. Occasionally, he would glance at her sleeping figure through the rearview mirror. He could only silently look at her and felt an inexplicable sense of relief. At this time, Ji Weiyang felt that there was nothing he could do to save her.
subconsciously looked at Zhan Yan through the rearview mirror, and then pressed the mute button. The remaining two messages were from her father. Ji Weiyang frowned, and directly ended the call. Without even thinking, it was obvious that Ji Bocheng was speaking up for Angel.
General Ji could be said to be an earth-shattering existence outside, but he was completely devoured by Lu Manyun. As long as Lu Manyun opened her mouth, General Ji practically never refused.
When they arrived at Harbin, it was already night. Harbin was thirty degrees below zero in the evening. The north wind whistled. It was frighteningly cold.
Ji Weiyang directly threw Zhan Yan into the restaurant, then disappeared without a trace.
The two of them stayed in the presidential suite. When Ji Weiyang was not around, someone else was in charge of taking care of Zhan Yan's daily necessities.
"Miss Wei, can we serve dinner now?" The secretary asked with a smile and a very humble attitude. Ji Weiyang didn't explain the relationship between him and Zhan Yan, but since they were living together, it was natural that they would be the owner's woman. But as for the specific type of woman, it wasn't something she needed to know.
At that time, Zhan Yan stood in front of the french window, quietly looking down at the Russian style northern city.
Only after hearing Little Min's voice did she slowly turn around. She indifferently nodded and replied, "Yes, thank you."
She ate dinner alone, then sat on the sofa and watched TV alone. After the evening news, Mango TV was showing a popular TV show, "Let's Get Married". The male and female protagonists started from a misunderstanding and gradually became attracted to each other.
Zhan Yan suddenly felt that all the ruckus, all of the ordinary people, were the true essence of happiness. It was a pity that all of these were things that she could only dream of.
After the three episodes were finished, it was already past midnight, and Ji Weiyang still had not returned. She had been sitting in the living room waiting, as if waiting had become a habit.
However, she did not see Ji Weiyang for three days. The secretary, Xiao Min, had only said that Ji Weiyang had always been at the construction site, and that whatever he did, was not something Zhan Yan should ask, and even before they divorced, she had never asked him about his business affairs. In Ji Weiyang's words, it was a battlefield for men, and women only needed to stand behind their men and peacefully share their victory and glory.
In these three days, Zhan Yan had never stepped out of the hotel, she spent most of the time standing in front of the french window, quietly looking out of the window. Her expression was very calm, and no one could guess what she was thinking about, or perhaps, she did not think about anything, and other than waiting, she had nothing to do.
Zhan Yan was eating dinner alone in her room. After eating dinner, Little Min ran in excitedly and said to her, "Miss Wei, Director Ji has returned. I was on the second floor eating dinner at the Western Restaurant when I saw you."
had never looked forward to Ji Weiyang's return as much as he did now. It was as if he was the only one who could release her now that he had returned.
She put down her tableware, and even before she could change her shoes, she went into the elevator, the computer numbers jumping off layer by layer, as if Zhan Yan's heart was beating uneasily, as though they had not seen each other for many days, and with such a tense situation, she knew what kind of attitude he should use, and what should she say? She was suddenly at a loss.
However, the truth proved that she was thinking too much.
The moment Zhan Yan stepped into the Western Restaurant, she saw a window not far from him. Ji Weiyang and Lu Anqi were currently eating an intimate meal, Ji Weiyang was still dressed in the black suit, with his back facing the door, he did not see Zhan Yan walk in, and naturally, Lu Anqi pretended not to see him either.
He scooped up a fruit salad and handed it over to him. When Ji Weiyang didn't open his mouth, she stubbornly refused to let it go, since there were still others in the dining hall. Ji Weiyang could only follow and eat what was placed next.
Lu Anqi smiled sweetly, got up and sat beside him, then intimately grabbed his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, speaking sweet words that made one feel nauseous. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them could be said to be a match made in heaven.
Zhan Yan stood stiffly at the door, the corners of her lips curled up slightly in a smile, which eventually turned into bitterness and ridicule. All these days of waiting had been just a ruse on her part. All along, she had only been the change in Ji Weiyang's life. When there was no Lu Anqi, she could use it to pass the time, but once Lu Anqi returned, she could successfully withdraw and give up the spot for the main target.
She did not go over to disturb them. In Zhan Yan's opinion, she was just asking to be humiliated. She turned around and walked out of the Western Restaurant before hiding in the elevator as if she was escaping.
At the same time, in the Western Restaurant, Ji Weiyang was still ignoring him.
He had originally planned to complete the seven days of travel in four days. During that time, he could be said to be working day and night, and had almost no time to sleep, as he wholeheartedly wanted to finish his work early and play with Zhan Yan in Harbin for a few days. He remembered that when they had just gotten married, Zhan Yan had even mentioned that they would spend a honeymoon in Harbin.
But the plan did not change fast, just as he finished the work at hand, Lu Anqi came running over, without even greeting him, and just happened to complete the work at the same time, who would believe him if he said it was a coincidence?
Ji Weiyang had always known that he had the old man's men by his side. He was harmless and didn't care about them, but he never thought that the old man would actually barge in right now. He had clearly said that he wanted to remarry Zhan Yan, and it looks like the old man didn't care about his words, so don't blame him for being rude.
Ji Weiyang lazily leaned against the chair and watched Angel eat, but he did not move an inch. "Eat slowly. There's no rush. I'll take you to the airport on the 8 o'clock plane."
Just as he finished speaking, the silver spoon in Angie's hand landed on the table with a thud. Her face changed, "Viyan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to drive me away? "
Ji Weiyang narrowed his eyes, his tone cold. "Angel, you shouldn't have come."
"You, how can you say something like that? You didn't answer my phone, and I missed you, so I came all the way here to see you. Yet, you actually treated me like that." She began to choke.
Ji Weiyang's ink-black eyes lowered, and the corner of his lips curled up coldly. "How did you know I was in Harbin? "How do you know I'm back at the hotel today?"
"This …" Angie was speechless.
Ji Weiyang's slender fingers gently rapped on the table, creating a rhythmic clanging sound. The next moment, it seemed to knock on Lu Anqi's heart, making her feel even more uneasy.
"Angel, you know me, the thing I hate the most is being manipulated. You and my dad colluded with each other to play with me in the palm of your hands?"
"No, Viyan, you misunderstood me …"
"Alright, since you don't want me to misunderstand you, then leave tonight." Ji Weiyang coldly interrupted her.
Lu Anqi bit her lips, and showed an appearance of being wronged. They had known each other for so many years, she could naturally see that Ji Weiyang was truly angry, and she did not dare to truly anger him. She could only reluctantly nod his head.
Ji Weiyang drove her to the airport and watched her enter. Finally, he was rid of her.
When he drove back to the hotel, Zhan Yan was no longer there. "Where is she?" He angrily asked her secretary, Little Min.
"Miss Wei has gone to the Western Restaurant to look for you. She has already left for a long time. I thought she was always with you." Little Min answered, trembling in fear.
Just as she finished speaking, Ji Weiyang picked up the car key and turned to leave.
He ordered someone to call out the monitoring recording of the hotel and roughly understood the time and place of Zhan Yan's departure. As expected, she only left after seeing him together with Lu Anqi at the Western Restaurant.
Ji Weiyang's lips unconsciously curled up into a light smile. He even knew how to be jealous, and it seemed that he was hopeless.
Ji Weiyang drove along the road that Zhan Yan had walked on to search for him, but it was not easy to find someone in a city.
At this moment, Zhan Yan was standing in the middle of Main Street. Under the night sky, the weather in Harbin was cold and dry. Zhan Yan was wearing a thick, yellow down jacket, a fur hat and gloves, an oval face, and a faint dimple of pear on the corner of her lips. She looked just like a young university student.
She walked along the flat street and heard that Central Street was the largest pedestrian street in Asia, flanked by a collection of European buildings, very different from the seaside style of S City. As the lanterns lit up, the streets were filled with streams of people. It was very lively.
As night fell, snow began to fall from the sky. Winter in the north seemed to like snow, and the pure white snow made Ice and Snow all the more beautiful. Zhan Yan leisurely strolled along the road to the Autumn Forest Shop, and also stayed in the Education Bookstore for a long time. It was as if she could only temporarily forget about the pain and trouble Ji Weiyang had brought her.
She was also keen on books on medicine, but they were sold all over the country, and Harbin's shelves were no different from S City's.
The building of this bookstore had a unique character. It was the iconic building on Central Street, with its crimson attic and Monseigneur roof. It gave off a dreamy feeling.
Zhan Yan was used to walking with her head down. As soon as she stepped out of the bookstore, without looking up, she ran into a solid chest.
"Yes, I'm sorry …" Zhan Yan's forehead hurt slightly, before she could even finish apologizing, her wrist had already been held tightly by the man. Zhan Yan raised his eyes in astonishment, and only then did she realize that Ji Weiyang was standing in front of her, slightly narrowing his black eyes as he coldly stared at her.
Zhan Yan frowned, and stubbornly shook him off.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked with a chuckle.
"None of your business." Zhan Yan said in frustration as she turned around and left. At this time, wasn't he supposed to be accompanying Lu Anqi, making love to him?
