Chapter 228: 226 Still acting as if nothing happened, loving each other

Translator: 549690339

“Husband, do not sell your charm.” Ji Baijian said in a grave tone, each word punctuated, and it did not seem like he was joking at all.

Song Zhizhi is speechless.

Ji Baijian, can you stop being so narcissistic?

She retorted irritably, “Who asked you to sell your charms!”

Ji Baijian would be willing to do so.

But she wasn’t.

Ji Baijian stretched out his long arm and pulled Song Zhizhi into his embrace, “You don’t have to worry too much, even if this project fails, it’S within my expectation. Our country’s IT industry has not been very developed, there hasn’t been any major breakthrough in many years. This project could be an opportunity for your father to call for more resources to enhance the IT sector.” “My thoughts are the same as yours…” Song Zhizhi leaned in Ji Baijian’s embrace.

But she did not dare to get too close.

Before she could finish her sentence…

Ji Baijian interrupted her, “Is that husband following wife’s lead?”

“Could you let me finish?” Song Zhizhi was annoyed.

Has Ji Baijian spent so much time with Yin Qin that he’s been infected by his goofiness?

Angrily leaving their house, Yin Qin was leisurely driving through the streets and suddenly sneezed fiercely and rubbed his nose!

Who?

Who the fuck is thinking about me?

If you’re thinking about me, just give me a call!

How else am I supposed to know you want to hook up with me!

“Please continue, My Lady.” Ji Baijian moved his thin lips, his attractive lip shape arousing wild thoughts.

Song Zhizhi swallowed her saliva.

She felt that she wouldn’t be able to handle this if it continued much longer.

Dr. Yan’s prediction of three to five months, she wasn’t sure she could even withstand three to five days.

She took a deep breath, maintaining a serious expression, “I’m also surprised. It was supposed to be a tough project to begin with, why is my father under such enormous pressure?! Today in the Commercial Management meeting, my father told me that Mr. Ye is putting pressure on him, hoping for a breakthrough this time.”

“Why would Ye Taiting do that?”

“Apparently, Mr. Ye thinks highly of my father and intends to promote him to succeed him,” Song Zhizhi didn’t hide anything from Ji Baijian.

She never hid anything from him.

And he always seemed deeply thoughtful around her.

Song Zhizhi bit her lower lip and stared directly at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian was silent for a long time.

Song Zhizhi didn’t know what Ji Baijian was thinking.

It took him quite a while before he asked her, “How strong is your father’s desire for the position?”

Song Zhizhi frowned.

She never asked her father.

She said, “It’s not about how strong the desire is, but if there’s an opportunity, it’s worth pursuing.

Most importantly, in the past life, my father was framed and killed, our family was ruined, living this life again, I’ve learned that only by reaching the most powerful position are you the safest. Therefore, I hope my father and my brother can reach an unattainable magnificent future! I totally support my father to strive for it in this opportunity!” This is her biggest wish in life.

To get revenge on those who have harmed her.

To ensure her family rises to greatness.

She can no longer bear the tragic events of her past life!

Ji Baijian’s throat moved, “If your family could be absolutely safe, would you still want the position?”

Song Zhizhi frowned.

She scrutinized Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian met her gaze, “I mean, if there is no danger, would your family still have such a strong need for the position?”

“Why are you so sure you can guarantee absolute safety?” Song Zhizhi questioned.

Ji Baijian pursed his lips.

“Nothing is absolute, I don’t trust anyone, I only trust myself.” Song Zhizhi said defiantly, “Ji Baijian, I don’t know your purpose, I don’t know if we are on the same side, I don’t know if we have the same enemies, and you won’t tell me who is behind the plot to kill my family, but now you want me to believe that you can ensure my family’s safety.” Song Zhizhi stared straight at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian’s expression twitched slightly.

“Don’t you think your actions are suspicious?”

“I will do what I promise.” Ji Baijian said with surety.

“True enough, but why can’t I provide myself with an extra safeguard! In this world, apart from becoming stronger yourself, there is no better way to ensure lifetime security!” Song Zhizhi said coldly, “I married you to make myself stronger!”

Ji Baijian nodded.

He was clear, very clear about the reason Song Zhizhi married him.

He was very clear about the promises he made to her.

However, putting the words out in the open still made their relationship strain bit by bit, almost like small incremental fractures.

Ji Baijian said, “I understand.”

“Ji Baijian,” Song Zhizhi called out to him.

She wouldn’t call him husband, she only called him Ji Baijian.

Calling him by his full name was a constant reminder to herself of the distance between them, a great distance she needed to maintain calmly.

She said, “Don’t use me.”

Ji Baijian raised his eyebrows.

“I don’t understand the meaning of what you just said, whether you’re hinting at me to give up the struggle for the Commercial Management heir, but there is one thing I hope you can do. Even if there comes a day we become adversaries, even if there comes a day where we must meet in battle, please don’t exterminate all mercy! I can die, but my family can not…”

She could take responsibility for her past and present foolishness, but her family was innocent.

She didn’t want to implicate anyone else.

She was afraid that she would truly despair to death.

But being deceived by Ji Baijian…

That would only mean she deserved what was coming to her!

Ji Baijian held her tightly.

Her face was buried in his chest, her words abruptly left hanging.

She could feel Ji Baijian’s panic.

But she couldn’t feel Ji Baijian’s sincerity!

She did not know the true placement of his heart, hidden underneath his body!

A quietly mutual space.

It seemed that for a moment, neither of them spoke.

It’s always when interests conflict, that their hard-earned relationship starts to crack.

Rather than repairing it, they let it naturally heal.

Then, they continued to love each other as if nothing had happened.

The bustling streets of Jin City.

Yin Qin was leisurely strolling.

How exactly should he have fun?

At this time, not even 2 p.m., who should he hang out with?

He’d let Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi be, their newlywed sweetness could be sensed from ten meters away, he wasn’t so lacking in tact.

But, then again…

With Ji Baijian hiding so much from Song Zhizhi, wasn’t he afraid that their relationship would shatter amidst the suspicions?

As Yin Qin thought, he still couldn’t understand.

Anyway, Ji Baijian was always so self-assured.

Probably nothing in this world that he couldn’t deal with.

Perhaps he should be more concerned about himself, this over-ripe virgin!

Virgin, ugh!

Yin Qin sighed with an inexplicable trace of sadness.

Over the years, reaching 25 this year, he wondered how he managed to pull through.

Apart from Ji Baijian who was freakishly disciplined, all his other friends were immersed in worldly pleasures flirting around with numerous females, savoring all kinds of delicacies. And him? He appeared experienced at talking, but underneath the facade, he was completely blank.

And who was it all for?!

His heart ached.

Thinking about that woman Ji Baixin, his heart ached.

Dammit!

Yin Qin slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

Just what would it take to uproot that woman from his heart?

He attempted to control his restless emotions.

Driving straight to the Milky Way Building.

He didn’t want to work, he didn’t want to be confined to the status of an heir this early. He disliked this lack of freedom. However, Ji Baijian needed his help and it was the first time in his life that he felt his existence was so valuable.

He parked the car.

He casually pulled up to the front gate, got out of the car stylishly and tossed his keys.

The security guard at the front gate quickly caught them and rushed to park the car for him.

He strode confidently into the grandeur of his home’s lobby and stepped into the elevator.

The elevator went up, all the way to his office.

The secretary was outside his office.

As the vice-director of the market, it was natural for him to have a secretary. However, his secretary really was amusing. If he wasn’t around for a day, she’d spend the day leisurely. At the moment, seeing him approach, she hastily put down her nail polish and followed Yin Qin.

Yin Qin plopped down in his office chair, looking at his flamboyantly dressed secretary.

When he was choosing a secretary, he made three demands to his father, “First, she must be attractive. Second, she must have a good figure. Third, she absolutely cannot be one of Wei Cheng’s people.”

Apparently, his old man did take care of it.

His little secretary was more of a beauty than Ji Baixing.

Yet, after all this time, how come he had not moved on.

“Vice-Director, you finally came. If you hadn’t come, I would have genuinely turned into a vase.” The little secretary smiled charmingly.

Yin Qin just looked at his secretary.

She was so beautiful, why on earth did he still have thoughts about Ji Baixing.

He beckoned her, “Come here.”

The little secretary promptly stepped forward, “What instructions do you have, Vice-Director?”

“What do you think about being my girlfriend Yin Qin asked. The little secretary looked completely taken aback.

Her vice-director was acting up again.

“What, you don’t want to?” Yin Qin’s brows furrowed up high.

“Vice-Director, did I do something wrong?” The little secretary’s face twisted, she asked with a sense of grievance.

“Damn, I asked you to date me, why are you acting so wronged!” Yin Qin was fuming, was he really that undesirable?!

The little secretary stared at him blankly, “Office romances are not allowed in the company, Vice-Director. Are you trying to fire me?”

“Is there such a rule?”

“Yes.” The little secretary said, her eyes welling up with tears, she looked pitiful, “I come from a single-parent family. My mother struggled to raise me. I finally found a job and cannot be fired. My mom’s health is not good now, I really need this job…’

“Okay, okay, I was just joking.” Yin Qin was speechless. Women are always crying at the drop of a hat.

It’s so annoying.

“Thank you, Vice -Director.” The little secretary wiped her tears and immediately burst into laughter. “Organize all the big and small things that have recently happened in the company for me.”

“What are you going to do?” the little secretary asked. “I can’t date, can’t I at least work properly?!” Yin Qin shouted.

The little secretary was startled again.

“You have half an hour, if you haven’t done it in half an hour, I’ll fire you!”

The little secretary quickly ran out in her high heels.

Yin Qin turned on his computer.

As soon as he turned on the computer, he thought about playing games, it seemed to be a conditioned reflex.

He gritted his teeth, deleted all his games.

Then he seriously tidied up his computer desktop, and watched as his panting secretary came in, “Vice-Director, I’ve copied all the plans and schedules for the recent company activities onto this USB.”

‘You’re that efficient?” Yin Qin frowned, looking at his little secretary.

The little secretary laughed, “My job is important to me.”

“Put it here.”

“I’ve already categorized everything. If there’s anything you don’t understand, Vice-Director, you can ask me directly.”

“Alright, get out.”

The little secretary respectfully left.

“Make me a cup of coffee.”

Yin Qin plugged in the USB, focusing his attention.

The secretary brought him coffee along the way, and subsequently, he sat alone for an afternoon.

He opened an event plan.

The exclusive designer interview for the new product launch of Jin City YILANG.

He looked at the name list.

LEE. Li Wenjun.

Yin Qin pursed his lips.

Indeed, enemies often cross each other’s paths.

He looked at Li Wenjun’s resume.

This guy really has developed quickly. It’s not easy for a domestic designer to gain recognition abroad.

No matter how I look, I feel that Ji Baixing is just into this type.

Looks are refined, upright.

The personality is steady, mature.

Most importantly, he’s hardworking and has developed one step at a time on his own.

People like him, who have everything from birth, can’t compete.

He shut down his computer.

Work is indeed boring.

He glanced at the time.

It’s already 5 0’clock.

He never thought he could stay this long.

He got up and left the office.

“Hmm,” Yin Qin nodded. “It’s time to clock off.”

“Yes.

Yin Qin left.

He walked towards the elevator, waited for a while, then the elevator arrived.

The moment he stepped in, he ran into Weng Cheng.

Weng Cheng seemed to be discussing something with his secretary. On seeing Yin Qin, he tightened his gaze and actively greeted, “Yin Qin.” ‘Yes, Cousin.” Yin Qin also greeted him amicably. “Leaving for the day?” Weng Cheng observed him.

“Isn’t it time to leave?

Weng Cheng checked the clock and said, “A few more minutes.”

“That’s why you guys are too rigid.” Yin Qin was blunt, “The thinking in media needs to be lively. The Milky Way has been standing still for so many years, and there’s a reason for that.” The color of Weng Cheng’s face changed slightly.

“I’m going off now. Take your time.” Yin Qin promptly stepped into the elevator.

After Yin Qin got off the elevator, Weng Cheng’s complexion was a bit ugly.

“He’s just too privileged.” The secretary whispered into Weng Cheng’s ear.

Weng Cheng smirked, “Don’t underestimate him, Yin Qin’s childhood friend is Ji Baijian; you can’t underestimate Ji Baijian either.”

‘Yes.” The secretary responded respectfully.

Yin Qin arrived at the company’s entrance leisurely.

The security guard, stationed at a distance, promptly ran to bring his car.

All Yin Qin had to do was wait at the entrance.

He had a relaxed demeanour.

“Yin Qin!” A stern voice called out from behind him. Yin Qin turned his head and saw his dad clocking off too.

He pursed his lips and didn’t greet his dad.

Yin Bin frowned at his son’s careless manner, his face turned significantly more rigid.

At that moment, the security guard, in a flattering manner, drove the car to the entrance and courteously opened the car door.

This bossy behavior made Yin Bin’s face turn even darker.

“Who allowed you to drive for him!” Yin Bin’s voice was thunderous. At the entrance, many colleagues who wanted to leave work dared not move.

The security guard’s legs went weak with fright.

Yin Qin seemed utterly calm, “If you don’t like it, I can simply stop doing it next time, what’s the point of yelling so loud! You’re old, control your BP otherwise, you might suffer from a stroke and my mom will finally have a chance to remarry. ”

“Yin Qin!” His father’s face turned even uglier, turning utterly black

Yin Qin didn’t bother to pay attention and got into the car, sat in the driver’s seat, revved the engine and took off!

Yin Bin watched his son’s reckless behavior, shaking with anger.

Through the rearview mirror, Yin Qin saw his father’s expression, but he didn’t care.

His father hadn’t fulfilled his responsibilities, after all. Apart from work and social engagements, he hardly spends time at home. His relationship with his mother wasn’t good either; he didn’t feel anything for this father.

He shifted his attention, and glanced at his phone.

He answered the call, “Song Zhizhi, has the sun risen from the west? Feeling guilty for treating your elder brother poorly at lunchtime… ”

“Can you help me set up a meeting with Qin Jingxiang?

The voice on the other side was very serious..
