âI donât mind as long as youâre clean and honest.â Grandpa Ji was very open-minded. âAs long as you like it.â He thought for a bit and added, âThereâs also one more thing. You have to be healthy. Thatâs very important.â
Ji Shiting nodded and said, âOkay. Iâll bring it back for you to see after Iâve decided on a candidate.â
âVery good.â Grandpa Ji clapped his hands. He didnât urge Ji Shiting to get married, but that didnât mean he wasnât anxious. He was still very happy that Ji Shiting was willing to get married. âCome and have dinner.â
At the dining table, the grandfather and grandson talked about work again.
âYouâve been attacking the Xiao Corporation a lot lately,â Grandpa Ji said. âThereâs no need for that, right? Our operations are very similar to the Xiao Corporationâs.â
âBut if I donât do anything, Xiao Ruilang will soon reach out to T.S. Corporation.â Ji Shiting curled his lips. âIâm just planning ahead.â
That said, but...
âDo you need to be so ruthless?â Grandpa Ji didnât agree. âYouâre hurting yourself.â
âT.S. Corporation can handle this,â Ji Shiting said as he scooped a bowl of soup for his grandpa.
Grandpa Ji shook his head and said, âIâm just reminding you to be careful. In the e-commerce world, T.S. Corporation has suppressed Jianghe Corporation to the point of suffocation. If you fight with Xiao Ruilang now, be careful that Jianghe Corporation will seize the chance to swallow our shares. Jiang Yu of the Jiang family isnât someone to be trifled with.â
âI know what Iâm doing.â Ji Shiting smiled.
...
On the way back.
Sun Ye was driving, and Ji Shiting was sitting in the back seat. He wound down the window to take a breather, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his muscular arms. He put his elbows on the window, looking lazy and nonchalant.
The car stopped at a red light when they walked past the square.
Ji Shiting suddenly froze.
The giant LED screen in the square was playing a clip of âXue Ningâ.
On the screen, the woman was wearing palace clothes and had her head lowered. She was talking to the emperor, and she looked dignified and shy. The emperor laughed out loud after hearing what she said, and the emperor helped her up, his eyes filled with love. With the emperorâs permission, she finally looked up. Her sweet smile was filled with the innocence of a young girl, but her eyes were full of the charm and flirtatiousness of a mature woman. This kind of conflicting charm was enough to seduce any man, even an old emperor who had seen countless women wouldnât be spared.
The camera used the perspective of an emperor, so the woman in the scene raised her head slightly and showed her most attractive side.
Ji Shitingâs pupils contracted, and his face tensed up. He couldnât help breathing heavily. The man clenched his fists as if he was trying to suppress his anger, but he couldnât look away from the woman.
After more than ten seconds, the light finally turned green, and Sun Ye started the car again.
Ji Shiting also closed the window and looked away. However, his Adamâs apple bobbed, and his dark eyes looked gloomy.
Ever since âXue Ningâ started airing, that woman had been everywhere, and he couldnât ignore her even if he wanted to.
He suddenly curled his lips and mocked himself.
