Wei Jingnian threw the magazine in his hand onto the ground. He bellowed, "What is he busy with? Is that all? "
Zhan Yan lowered her head, the newspapers and magazines at her feet were all reporting the news of the marriage between Ji Family and the Li Family.
Zhan Yan was frozen in place, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react. She had not expected that her father had called her back to interrogate her about this.
"Say something, are you mute? Do you know about this or don't you? " Wei Jingnian was so angry that he slapped the table heavily.
Zhan Yan still maintained her silence. At this moment, no matter how she replied, she was wrong. I might as well shut up.
Wei Jingnian's face was even uglier than a gloomy day, and he asked calmly, "Have you and Weiyang completed the procedures for the remarriage?"
Zhan Yan pursed her lips, the fist behind her tightly clenched into a fist, but she did not say a word. She kept thinking of ways to deal with it.
Just as Wei Jingnian was about to make another move, Lu Ruping suddenly spoke out to smooth things over, "Jing Nian, why are you so angry? Your face has just been discharged from the hospital, be careful of your daughter's health."
As expected, Wei Jingnian did not attack again, but his expression was still ugly. However, Lu Ruping's words caused Zhan Yan to suddenly come to a realization. She clenched his fists tightly and frowned, feigning a painful expression as he collapsed onto the sofa at the side.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ruping asked nervously as she went up to check on Zhan Yan's situation.
Zhan Yan did not know how to act, her head was lowered, and only replied guiltily: "I, my heart hurts."
Hearing Zhan Yan say that her heart was in pain, Wei Jingnian and Lu Ruping panicked. How could they tell if she was really in pain or just faking it?
"Zhan Yan, what's wrong? Don't scare my mom. " Lu Ruping was so scared that her voice started to tremble.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly send him to the hospital." Wei Jingnian had the driver prepare the carriage and anxiously sent Zhan Yan to the hospital.
Inside the sickroom, the doctor was currently examining Zhan Yan, while Wei Jingnian and Lu Ruping's husband and wife were anxiously waiting outside.
"It's all your fault. Why are you forcing her to do something?" It's not like you don't know her physical condition. As long as she's happy, it's fine. There's no need to care so much about it. " Lu Ruping kept complaining to Wei Jingnian.
Wei Jingnian lowered his head, feeling extremely regretful. As a father, he just didn't want his daughter to be cheated or hurt. But the moment Zhan Yan fell down from sickness, he suddenly realised, everything was not important anymore. As long as Zhan Yan was alive, as long as she was alive and well, nothing was important anymore.
At the end of the long corridor, hurried running sounds could be heard. Ji Weiyang was dressed in a pure black suit, and quickly ran towards the ward. When he stood in front of Wei Jingnian and his wife, his breathing was already unstable.
"The doctor is still examining it." Wei Jingnian's tone was somewhat harsh.
"Yan Yan's situation has been very stable lately, why did she suddenly have an illness after just a trip back to Wei Family. She can't afford to travel all the way there. If the two elders want to see Yan Yan Yan next time, let me personally bring the two of you to the villa." Although Ji Weiyang was very courteous, his tone clearly carried a sense of blame.
"The threshold of your Ji Family is high, and we can't go through it." Wei Jingnian had never been kind to him.
Ji Weiyang finally sensed that something was amiss, and turned to look at Lu Ruping, only to see her sighing and asking: "Wei Yang, are all the things that are published in the newspapers true?"
"What newspaper?" Ji Weiyang was completely confused. He had read through most of the morning newspapers and various periodicals related to the day in his office, but had not found any news related to Ji Family or its contents.
"Forget it, why should I say all these? As long as you don't let Zhan Yan feel sad, I'll do whatever you want to do." Lu Ruping let out a heavy sigh in the end.
The long corridor fell into a short period of silence. Ji Weiyang frowned in deep thought, he really couldn't think of which part was wrong.
"Which one of you is Wei Zhanyan's family member?" At this moment, the doctor pushed open the door and walked out.
"I-I'm her father." Wei Jingnian hurried over and asked: "How is my daughter?"
"Don't worry, the patient is fine." The doctor answered flatly.
"Okay, then can I go in and see my daughter?" Wei Jingnian asked again.
"The patient needs rest. It's best not to disturb her."
"Dad, Mom, you two old men should go back first, I'll stay here and guard it." Ji Weiyang said.
Wei Jingnian was silent for a moment, before nodding his head in agreement.
Just as Lu Ruping walked to the door with Wei Jingnian in her arms, she heard the doctor speaking to Ji Weiyang behind him, "You must be Mister Ji, you can go in, your wife wants to see you."
Wei Jingnian subconsciously stopped in his tracks, then helplessly shook his head and sighed.
"Let's go, children will have their own blessings." Lu Ruping laughed and patted his arm. The two of them supported each other as they walked towards the elevator.
Behind them, Ji Weiyang walked into the sickroom.
At this time, Zhan Yan was lying on the sickbed, staring at him with a pair of bright eyes.
His handsome face carried a tinge of exhaustion, but it was also filled with worry. "He quickly walked up and took her cold little hand and protected her in his palm." Yan Yan, do you still feel uncomfortable? "Why don't we go back to the central hospital and check up on him. We can't delay his condition."
"Viyan, I'm fine. I'm really fine." Zhan Yan's smile was shallow, and she held both of his hands. "I lied to them. You don't know, my father is getting old and has been very nagging lately."
"Then she lifted the quilt and got out of bed." Viyan, let's go home. "
Ji Weiyang's tensed heart finally relaxed, and then, with a pampered finger, he hung the tip of her nose. "Little Scoundrel, did you know that you almost scared me to death?"
Her arms were strong and her chest was warm. Zhan Yan rested her head against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.
"Yan Yan, let's go home." Ji Weiyang carried her and walked out of the hospital with steady steps. He really did not want to return to such an unlucky place like the hospital.
Zhan Yan was screaming about being hungry, but Ji Weiyang brought her out to eat outside before returning to the villa. Zhan Yan's body was weak, after a simple wash, she fell asleep. Ji Weiyang sat alone in the living room, watching the evening news. He held his coffee cup and sipped on it, casually rummaging through the magazines on the shelf. There was actually no newspaper of the day.
"Sister Liu, didn't the financial papers come in today?" he asked the servant.
"It was delivered in the morning, and Madame was still looking at it." Mrs. Liu came over and helped them rummage through the newspaper and periodicals. Soon, they found the newspaper and periodicals of the day under the sofa.
Ji Weiyang casually flipped through a few pages, then angrily threw all the newspapers on the ground.
He was a shrewd person, so he quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. There was no need to guess, it must be the arm of his family's old man, and if it were to be published in the newspaper, it definitely would not be able to escape his ears. He would definitely not allow this kind of news to be published, and even if it was published, it would definitely not spread to Zhan Yan and the people from Wei Family.
His old man understood this very well, so he ordered someone to make a fake journal and sent it to Zhan Yan and Wei Jingnian respectively. It must be that Wei Jingnian had called Zhan Yan to question him after seeing all these, and since he had nothing to say, she could only pretend to be sick.
So what did she feel when she saw them? Would he feel sad? Would he feel heartache? Did she cry secretly? She was still smiling when she faced him. Were they trying to force a smile?
His heart was in a mess. He had always been trying his best to protect his beloved woman, but there was nothing that could hurt her.
Presumably, both the villa here and Wei Family had people that belonged to the old man. Otherwise, these fake journals wouldn't have been able to enter his home so easily.
Thinking about it, he called Tang Feng and told him to find some reliable people to work at the villa. Now that all of them had left, he would not use any of them.
He tossed the obnoxious journals into the study's shredder and then returned to the bedroom.
Zhan Yan slept soundly on the bed, the soft silk completely wrapping around her petite body, only revealing her palm-sized little face, and her smooth skin was almost transparent.
He poured a cup of warm water and took out a few pills he had taken during the night from the medicine box. Then, he sat on the side of the bed and woke Zhan Yan up with a warm voice.
"Yan Yan, be good and wake up. Eat some medicine and then sleep." After Ji Weiyang's arm reached into her neck, he gently lifted her body.
Zhan Yan was woken up from her sleep out of nowhere. She pouted with dissatisfaction on her face. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with the back of her hand, looking extremely adorable. A pair of large eyes blinked. It didn't look like a woman in her twenties, but a young girl.
Ji Weiyang was moved, he uncontrollably lowered his head and kissed her lips, "Good girl, eat the medicine."
"Yes." Zhan Yan sat up and ate the medicine obediently.
After feeding her some medicine, Ji Weiyang took a simple bath, then pulled back the quilt to lie beside her. Zhan Yan moved closer and very naturally placed her head on his arm.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Ji Weiyang gently asked as he casually played with her soft hair with his fingertips.
Zhan Yan didn't reply. She lowered her gaze, as if she was lost in thought.
Ji Weiyang also became silent, he could roughly guess that Zhan Yan's worries must have something to do with those journals. With some heartache, he kissed her forehead and gently asked, "Yan Yan Yan, do you have anything to ask me?"
Zhan Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes. She knew that Ji Weiyang was referring to the matter regarding the journal. Do you want me to ask? " She moaned.
"Yes." Ji Weiyang nodded, as he gently propped her chin up with his hand. His gaze was like water as he stared at her. Yan Yan, I do not wish for you to keep everything in your heart. "
Zhan Yan's gaze was still a little averted, but she slowly spoke out. "I, I read the newspaper and magazine released today. "Actually, you don't need to explain. The media isn't just trying to make things difficult for you."
She tried her best to look calm, but her delicate body still trembled uncontrollably in his embrace.
Ji Weiyang hugged her tightly once again, feeling pained in his heart, "Yan Yan Yan, there are no rumors regarding me in today's newspapers or magazines. Those things are just a trap. "Don't take it to heart."
After hearing what he said, the corner of Zhan Yan's lips raised into a faint smile. However, that smile carried an unspeakable bitterness. The newspaper is fake, but, I know, Li Xiaoqian is real. She, she is very outstanding, and is sufficient enough to accompany you … "
It was just a simple sentence, but Zhan Yan had to say it with extreme difficulty. Every word that came out of her mouth was like cutting apart her heart with a knife. Only, before she could finish speaking, Ji Weiyang had coldly interrupted her.
"Yan Yan, I don't want to lie to you. My dad does plan on marrying the Li family, but that's just his thought. I will always be with you, I just want to be with you. So, don't even think about anything, just stay by my side and trust me. "
"He lowered his head to look at her, his five fingers tightly clasped around her, his palm pressed against hers." The overseas branch is in the process of being established, and when I have settled everything, we will go abroad to live, and at that time, no one will bother us anymore. "
Being tightly embraced by him, Zhan Yan was almost unable to breathe. But she didn't push him away, only her beautiful eyes brimming with tears. The future he had envisioned for her would always be beautiful, but for her, it was too far away to reach.
She was trapped in his embrace as she looked timidly at him. It was simply a silent type of temptation. Ji Weiyang could not help but lower his head and kiss her lips.
This kiss was uncontrollable. He was no longer satisfied with such a superficial request.
"Yan Yan Yan." His palm caressed her small white face, then penetrated her soft hair. "Yanyan, you're mine, I'm yours as well."
"Yes." Zhan Yan smiled gently.
After the lovemaking, he sat back against the head of the bed, a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't light it. He knew that Zhan Yan did not like the smell of smoke.
He knew that taking birth control pills and condoms was not a long-term solution and that there was always the risk of a gun going off. The only way to do it once and for all is to do it. Maybe he should think about it.
Because she slept very late, by the time Zhan Yan woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning. Ji Weiyang had already left for the company.
After she ate breakfast, Du Xiaomo invited her to go shopping. The two of them walked around the department store twice. Du Xiaomo's hands were already filled with large and small paper bags, and some clothes and shoes, she didn't even try to brush them off, as though they were not her money.
"Are you done buying so many clothes? Spending money like dirt doesn't make you feel bad. " Zhan Yan wanted to help her share a paper bag or two, but she said that she was not allowed to do anything.
"If you don't spend my money, then what's there to be sorry about?" She waved the gold card in her hand and said mockingly, "Here's the breakup fee he gave me. When I finish spending all the money in there, I'll completely forget about him."
After Du Xiaomo finished speaking, she turned around and entered another high end boutique. Zhan Yan, do you think this dress is pretty? " she asked, pointing to the royal blue dress on the model.
"Mm, not bad." Zhan Yan nodded warmly.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" The waitress asked gently.
"Let me try that dress."
"Alright." The waiter quickly found a size suitable for Du Xiaomo and passed it to her.
While Du Xiaomo was changing her clothes in the changing room, sat on the sofa at the side and casually flipped through the magazine. At this moment, the door of one of the locker rooms opposite her opened, and a girl in a red dress walked out. She was dressed beautifully, her long hair tied behind her head, and the jewel necklace around her neck was worth quite a bit.
"Do you think I look good in this?" she asked her companion at the side.
"Aiyo, our Xiao Qian is born to be a beauty, she will be enchanted by anything she wears. That Third Young Master Ji, has he already been bewitched by you? "
