The wedding venue.

Song Zhizhi pulled Ji Baijian aside.

Ji Baijian led Song Zhizhi directly to the hotel suite. Song Zhizhi was annoyed, “What did you bring me here for?”

“To sleep.” “I’m not sleepy.”

“I am.”

“So you just don’t want to talk about your relationship with Qin Jingxiang? Song Zhizhi frowned.

Ji Baijian smiled, reached out and touched her head. “Are you jealous?”

“Yes, I’m jealous.”

And, don’t treat me like a pet.

Ji Baijian suddenly picked her up in a princess hold.

Song Zhizhi was surprised.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

“What are you doing?”

“What do you think?”

“Ji Baijian, you said it will happen tonight.”

“You’re thinking too much.” The smile on the corner of Ji Baijian’s mouth grew brighter. “Rest for a while, we still have a banquet tonight.”

“I said I can’t sleep.”

Song Zhizhi complained, but Ji Baijian still placed her on the soft bed in the hotel.

Once she touched the sheet…

She fell asleep.

So relaxing.

So comfortable.

She had been tense all day.

But still…

She looked at Ji Baijian very seriously. “Who is Qin Jingxiang?

“A person.” Ji Baijian said, “At most, a woman.”

“Ji Baijian!”

“What else do you want me to say? I don’t have much to say because I’m not familiar with her either.”

“Why does she call you ‘brother’?!” Song Zhizhi found it unbearable.

She’s too friendly with the way she calls him.

“But don’t you call Wei Ziming ‘brother’ too?”

“How can that be the same? Wei Ziming is really my brother.” Song Zhizhi was upset.

Ji Baijian must be trying to piss her off on purpose.

Ji Baijian’s slender fingers touching her cheek.

He explained, ‘Qin Jingxiang is just as I’ve told you before. I haven’t hidden anything from you. As for her sudden appearance and her identity, both Yin Qin and I are clueless. Back in the days abroad, I simply thought she was really good at computers, so I decided to befriend her.”

“Why do you like to associate with talented people?” Song Zhizhi seemed to catch the important point, “Ji Baijian, you’re not a very sociable person.”

Ji Baijian pursed his lips.

“Is there anything you can’t tell me?”

“Not for now.”

“But I promise you, everything I’ve told you is the truth, I’ve never lied to you.” Ji Baijian emphasized each word.

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

“And what I promised you, I will definitely do it.” Ji Baijian’s eyes seemed to move slightly. He gently kissed her forehead. “This is my promise to you, and it will never change for the rest of my life.” Hmm.

She was convinced by Ji Baijian again.

Every time he spoke seriously, she would take his words to heart.

“Behave, get some sleep. We have to socialize later. And after that…” Ji Baijian smiled, “we’ll have a long night.”

Song Zhizhi blushed.

She turned over, her back facing Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian looked at her silhouette, the corner of his mouth curling up into a smile.

Tonight, tonight… He had waited for quite a long time.

Nighttime.

The banquet hall is still bustling.

It was still a sea of flowers, with the ground covered with flower petals that danced around as you walked on them, presenting a dreamy and beautiful scene.

Unlike the lunch banquet, the evening event was a party style. There were buffet meals and people had the freedom to move about.

Song Zhizhi was wearing a red cheongsam for the evening banquet. The cheongsam was fitted, highlighting her perfect shape. The slit of the cheongsam was very high, revealing her white evenly toned thighs. She had on a pair of high heels, and with each step, she moved gracefully with Ji Baijian, looking like a goddess in the human realm.

Ji Baijian actually didn’t like her appearing so seductive in front of everyone.

When she put on the cheongsam, Ji Baijian whispered in her ear, “In the future, you can’t wear clothes like this outside.”

“If you care so much, why did you pick this outfit?” Song Zhizhi asked. “I couldn’t resist how good it looks on you,” Ji Baijian replied.

So it’s like that, men.

Hypocritical men.

Song Zhizhi had been holding on to Ji Baijian’s arm all the time. They welcomed the guests among the crowd with smiles on their faces.

After a full day, they were truly tired, but the evening banquet was only halfway through. As the hosts, they, of course, couldn’t leave early.

Ji Baijian seemed to perceive Song Zhizhi’s fatigue, he said, “I will take you to sit in the back garden for a while.”

“Can we?”

“Yes we can,” said Ji Baijian.

Song Zhizhi didn’t hesitate either.

Although she had rested for 2 hours in the afternoon, after standing for so long in such high heels, her feet were still sore.

She turned to Xin Zaozao, Luo Xiaolang, who had stayed by her side all this time, “Do you want to rest for a while?” Luo Xiaolang said, “I’ll follow you.”

Xin Zaozao said, “I can stay here.”

That’s because today there were many influential people present, many of whom she needed to befriend.

This was a rare chance for her. Song Zhizhi nodded, “Take care.” “I know,” smiled Xin Zaozao.

Without further delay, Song Zhizhi took Luo Xiaolang with her and followed Ji Baijian into the back garden.

Song Zhizhi sat on a white swing.

Suddenly, Ji Baijian half crouched down to the ground.

Song Zhizhi looked at him strangely.

Ji Baijian lifted her foot and removed her shoes, then massaged the soles of her feet.

Song Zhizhi watched him.

“Is it more comfortable now?”

“Mm-hm.” Song Zhizhi smiled sweetly.

After massaging her for a while, Ji Baijian put down her delicate little foot, “you rest for a while, I have to go entertain guests.”

“Aren’t you tired?”

“Not at all,” Ji Baijian said, “as long as you ‘re not tired.”

“Hmm?”

Ji Baijian didn’t explain further, he turned around and left immediately.

Song Zhizhi was puzzled.

Fortunately, she didn’t have to deal with social duties, she could relax for a bit.

Swinging back and forth on the swing.

The outside breeze was refreshing, the stars in the sky shone brightly.

She felt very comfortable, leaning on the swing.

“Xiaolang, why don’t you come sit for a while?” Song Zhizhi called out to her, “You’ve been standing for so long.”

“I’m not tired.” Luo Xiaolang refused.

Song Zhizhi shrugged her shoulders.

But indeed, Luo Xiaolang’s stamina was astounding.

She enjoyed the swinging for quite a while.

The sound of high heels echoed in the back garden, then, a woman stood in front of her.

Song Zhizhi looked at her.

Qin Jingxiang also looked at her, then extended her hand, “I’m Qin Jingxiang, the daughter of Qin Wenguo.”

Song Zhizhi stood up from the swing.

Qin Jingxiang was probably just one meter sixty. Since both were wearing high heels at the moment, Song Zhizhi was significantly taller than her.

She reached out her hand, “Nice to meet you.”

“I’ve always been curious about what Ji Baijian’s wife would be like?” “Did I disappoint you?”

“No.” Qin Jingxiang said, “You’re more beautiful than I expected.”

“Really?”

“But Ji Baijian never pays attention to a person’s looks,” Qin Jingxiang bluntly stated, “Perhaps there is something captivating about you that appeals to Ji Baijian.”

“So I am curious, where did I fall short?” the question directly came from Qin Jingxiang as she looked intensely into Zhizhi’s eyes.

Song Zhizhi slightly furrowed her brows.

It seemed, the newcomer was here with ill-intention.

“So, have you learned anything?” Song Zhizhi responded calmly.

“Not yet.” Qin Jingxiang chuckled, “But I am pleased to meet you, and I have learned today that there’s always someone better out there.”

“You flatter me. ”

Qin Jingxiang shook her head, “There will still be a lot of interactions in the

future, please take care of me.”

“Likewise.”

With a faint smile, Qin Jingxiang turned around and left.

Song Zhizhi watched as Qin Jingxiang’s silhouette retreated.

She must be a highly self-esteem person, otherwise, she would not purposefully approach her to have such conversation.

Actually,

can’t say if Qin Jingxiang can’t figure it out, but she, herself, still doesn’t know what exactly it is she has that attratcs Ji Baijian?

She was not deprecating herself, but with Ji Baijian’s manner towards women, the fact that he likes her surprises her.

Song Zhizhi just looked at the retreating figure of Qin Jingxiang.

After some pondering, she got up and walked back into the banquet hall.

Luo Xiaolang followed behind her the whole time.

From a distance, Song Zhizhi saw Qin Jingxiang standing in front of Ji Baijian.

She had no idea what they were talking about.

Thankfully, Ji Baijian remained indifferent the whole time.

Song Zhizhi felt oddly satisfied.

She was incredibly proud that apart from her, Ji Baijian appeared cold and aloof to everyone else.

She elegantly made her way over.

Her figure was truly to die for.

She stopped in front of them.

Qin Jingxiang turned her head to look at her.

Ji Baijian directly reached out and held Song Zhizhi’s hand in his own.

Seeing them, Qin Jingxiang could only muster a small smile, “It’s getting late, my father and I should be heading home. Again, I wish you both well.”

Ji Baijian didn’t respond.

Song Zhizhi thanked her out of courtesy.

Qin Jingxiang turned around and left.

Song Zhizhi turned her head to look at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian was also looking at her.

“What did she say to you?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“I didn’t listen.” Ji Baijian replied.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

“I didn’t want to make you jealous, so I consciously ignored her.”

“Ji Baijian, are you teasing me!” Song Zhizhi feigned anger, but actually felt secretly pleased inside.

Ji Baijian smiled, “Would you like to rest for a little bit?”

“No.” Song Zhizhi responded with certainty, “My husband is handsome, attracting many admirers. I need to keep a close eye on him.”

“Well then, thank you for your hard work, dear.” Ji Baijian responded, not cracking a smile.

This man was so full of himself.

“Since my wife can’t bear to be away from me for even a second, come with me to bid our guests farewell.”

As if she couldn’t bear to be away from him for even a second.

Ji Baijian was clearly getting a little too cocky.

In the end, Song Zhizhi followed Ji Baijian to entertain the guests.

Until they bid farewell to the last group of guests.

Only Ji Yunlei and his wife, Song Shan and his son, Wei Ziming, and Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi, along with the four bridesmaids and groomsmen, remained. “You must be tired, thank you for today.” Ji Yunlei courteously addressed Song “Not at all, today’s wedding of Baijian and Zhizhi is worth any amount of

effort. ”

“Indeed. It’s late, you should head home.”

At this moment, The Song Family’s car was parked at the front door of the banquet hall.

Song Shan nodded.

He looked back at his daughter one last time. Song Zhizhi was also looking at him.

“Zhizhi, Daddy’s leaving now.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

Those words – “Daddy’s leaving now” – brought a sour feeling to her chest.

“Don’t worry, I will take good care of Zhizhi.” Ji Baijian spoke up, seemingly sensing Song Zhizhi’s emotions.

“Alright.” Song Shan didn’t say much.

Any further conversation might have made things overly sentimental.

Song Shan left along with his son, Song Zhidao, and Wei Ziming.

Ji Yunlei was also tired. He said to Ji Baijian, “I’ll go back with your aunt. Zhizhi, you worked hard today. Get a good rest tonight and return tomorrow, no rush.”

“Alright, thank you… Dad.” Song Zhizhi responded. At that moment, Ji Yunlei lit up with happiness. “Then, we’ll go first.”

“Take care, Dad.” Song Zhizhi respectfully replied.

“Are you going with me, Baili?” Ji Yunlei asked. Ji Baili hesitated, “I’ll come back a little later.”

“Suit yourself.” Ji Yunlei was apparently really tired. He got into the car with Zhang Qingmei and left.

At this point, only six of them remained.

Ji Baijian said, “You’ve worked hard today.”

“No hard feelings.” Yin Qin smiled, “Given the hefty red envelope, the work we put in is more than justified.”

Ji Baijian, who usually didn’t bother much with Yin Qin, said, “We’re leaving now. You all should also get some rest.”

“You should hurry home, it’s your wedding night.” Yin Qin teased.

Song Zhizhi blushed a little.

She turned to look at Ji Baijian.

Was Ji Baijian… really that excited?

She gently bit her lip.

Hopefully, nothing unpleasant would happen.

Ji Baijian held Song Zhizhi’s hand as they got into the car.

Of course, Luo Xiaolang followed them.

Watching them leave, Yin Qin stretched lazily, “Let’s go. Do you guys have a ride?” “I have one.” Ji Baili said, “Let me give you a ride.”

“Okay.”

“I can drop you off along the way too.” Ji Baili directed this statement to Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao paused for a moment, “Thank you.”

Ji Baili turned and walked towards the car parked on the side.

Yin Qin and Xin Zaozao each got into their seats.

Yin Qin sat in the passenger seat and asked Xin Zaozao, “Miss Xin, where is your house? Let’s see who I should drop off first based on the route.”

“I’ll drop you off first.” Before Xin Zaozao answered, Ji Baili intervened.

Yin Qin looked at Ji Baili with a profound look, “Oh, the little rugrat finally gets it.”

“Bro, don’t treat me like a kid.” Ji Baili said, “I’m all grown up.”

“So, you can do adult things now.”

“You are so worn out today, better to stop talking.”

“Wow, actually have the nerve to dismiss me.” Yin Qin uttered in irritation, then he laughed, “But you do have good taste.”

Xin Zaozao fits the good wife and mother image well.

Beautiful, yet not flashy. Wealthy family background, yet not a hint of arrogance. Gentle personality, coupled with a bit of shyness. This is the partner selection criterion for most men!

At this moment, Ji Baili remained silent.

He was afraid that the more he spoke, the less clear things would become.

He dropped Yin Qin off at his villa.

Yin Qin got out of the car before he had a chance to say goodbye.

Ji Baili drove off and left.

“Wow, are kids these days this proactive?” Yin Qin mumbled to himself. At this moment, sitting in the car, Xin Zaozao was taken aback by Ji Baili’s sudden acceleration.

She unconsciously grabbed the door handle.

Ji Baili looked at her through the rearview mirror and slowly slowed down, “Brother Yin Qin likes joking around. I was worried he would make you uncomfortable if he kept talking.”

Xin Zaozao didn’t expect Ji Baili to be so considerate.

The first time she met Ji Baili, apart from thinking that he was very similar to Ji Baijian, she didn’t feel anything else.

At this moment, she felt differently. She smiled and said, “Thank you.”

“You seem to be particularly polite to me.” Ji Baili also laughed.

Xin Zaozao bit her lip, unsure of what to say.

“Am I putting too much pressure on you?” Ji Baili asked.

“Ah?” Xin Zaozao was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, “I don’t interact with many people, so I often don’t know what to say.”

“I see.” Ji Baili nodded.

Xin Zaozao gathered up the courage to say, “I will try to change in the future.”

“No need.” Ji Baili drove very steadily.

He had the feeling that this woman seemed to be rather timid.

She still held the handle, refusing to let go.

Was it mistrust in his driving skills, or just instinctive self-protection?

Thinking about how Mu Cidian and Wan Quan treated Xin Zaozao in the afternoon, his face became colder.

The car fell into silence.

Ji Baili didn’t know what to say to Xin Zaozao.

And Xin Zaozao wouldn’t take the initiative to start a conversation.

They reached Xin Zaozao’s villa in silence.

Xin Zaozao got out of the car.

She thanked him politely, “Ji Baili, thank you. Be careful on your way back.”

But at that moment, Ji Baili didn’t leave.

Xin Zaozao watched him.

“Why are you so tolerant of Wan Quan and Mu Cidian?” Ji Baili suddenly asked.

Xin Zaozao was taken aback.

“You don’t have to answer.”

“It’s not tolerance,” Xin Zaozao said, “I just don’t have enough capability yet.”

She couldn’t kick those two out of their home, leaving them with nothing. “I’ve heard from my sister-in-law that you have a bodyguard.”

“Yes.” Xin Zaozao nodded.

“Keep them close by.” Ji Baili suggested.

“Okay.”

“Xin Zaozao.” Ji Baili looked at her, reminding her word by word, “Since you are my fiancée, I hope that you won’t bear everything on your own if there’s trouble. ”

Xin Zaozao’s eyes flickered.

“I don’t want to see a repeat of what happened this afternoon.”

Xin Zaozao bit her lip.

“Go back and rest early. Goodnight.” Ji Baili didn’t seem to expect Xin Zaozao to respond.

He dropped the phrase, and drove off.

Xin Zaozao just stood there, watching the direction of Ji Baili’s taillights, until

they disappeared..
