Chapter 45: Pretending Nothing Happened
Ji Anxin stood there blankly, staring at Wei Yuanxi without blinking.
The man was drunk, and his face was flushed.
The smell of wine was vague in his breath, and Ji Anxin didn't know if he had heard it wrong, or if it was something else.
With a "ding", the elevator rang.
Ji Anxin pursed his lips and pretended that nothing had happened and pushed Wei Yuanxi out of the elevator.
Wei Yuanxi took two steps and stood at the door, unable to move.
He looked at her with such a calm look, as if he had been greatly wronged, and pursed his lips to look at her.
At this time, it is unreasonable to talk to a drunk person.
Ji Anxin sighed with his forehead and deliberately softened his voice.
"Let's go home, okay?"
Wei Yuanxi blinked his eyes slightly, and his face was a little moved.
When Ji Anxin helped him go again, the man became obedient.
She half-supported Wei Yuanxi, and with the other hand went to open the door.
After tossing for a while, when the two entered the house, Ji Anxin was already sweating slightly on his forehead.
She sat down on a leather bench in the hallway, leaned against the wall and gasped for breath for a moment, then sat next to the man and began to bow her head and change her slippers.
The man leaned against the wall behind his back, looked sideways at her, and suddenly tilted his head and leaned on Ji Anxin's shoulder.
Ji Anxin was stunned, slowly sat up straight, and pushed away a little with both hands on the man's shoulders.
Wei Yuanxi's eyes gradually began to blur at this time, but he still muttered persistently: "I like you......"
The air became quiet for a moment, and Ji Anxin seemed to hear the sound of her heart pounding, which also proved that she had heard it correctly.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but the man suddenly fell into her arms and fainted drunk.
Ji Anxin looked at the man in his arms, raised his hand, and paused for a few seconds before touching the back of the man's head.
"Hopefully, you'll wake up and forget what you've said. Ji Anxin stared at the snow-white wall and said to himself.
In order to move the man to the bed, Ji Anxin spent the strength to breastfeed.
She stood on the edge of the bed, estimated that all the clothes on his body smelled of alcohol, so she kindly helped him take them off, and finally only a pair of close-fitting boxer briefs remained.
Then, she covered the man with a quilt and wrapped it tightly.
After doing all this, Ji Anxin sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him for a long time.
People say that when you are drunk, you spit out the truth.
I don't know how true the words in this man's mouth are.
Wei Yuanxi leaned on the pillow soundly, his face was facing Ji Anxin, and he gradually snorted.
The man's hair was messy, and a few strands of hair hung crookedly at the corners of his forehead.
Ji Anxin couldn't help but help him pull it away, and his fingers stopped on Wei Yuanxi's face like that.
She stroked the man's slightly frowning brow, and then tossed to the bridge of his handsome nose, her fingers slid over it, and sighed that God really favored him too much.
Finally, her fingers rested on the man's slightly thin lips.
She remembered the strength of the entanglement with her here.
Unable to help but lean, she leaned over, bowed her head, and imprinted a kiss on the man's lips.
"Good night. She whispered softly.
Ji Anxin packed up the clothes he took off from the man and put them in the laundry room.
Going out, she glanced at the man's room, rubbed her face with both hands, took a deep breath, and went back to her room.
In the middle of the night, Wei Yuanxi woke up in a daze.
He felt uncomfortable and stumbled into the bathroom, and after a quick shower, he walked out with a cool body.
His mouth was dry, he went to the restaurant in the dark to find water to drink, and staggered back to the house.
Ji Anxin slept soundly, and felt that the bed under him seemed to move.
But she was too sleepy to delve into it, so she muttered and fell asleep.
Later, she felt cold on her body, and the quilt on her body was gone, so she subconsciously went to find a warm place. When she got closer, she hugged the source of warmth and fell asleep again.
In the morning, Ji Anxin was woken up by the heat.
She felt like she was in a big stove, her whole body was hot, her hands and feet seemed to be trapped, and she couldn't move. She frowned and whimpered disapprovingly.
Then, the shackles on her body were loosened, and she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next second, she was firmly trapped again.
She closed her eyes, her eyes rolling, a little hindsight.
The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.
The man's thick arms were around her neck and drooped down against her chin.
Ji Anxin was forced to lie on her side, and the man's legs behind her were on her two legs, pressing hard. She blinked, screamed, and suddenly shoved the man away.
Wei Yuanxi was pushed away at first glance, and finally woke up.
"It's early in the morning, what's the noise? The man closed his eyes and said wistfully.
Ji Anxin sat up and turned his head to look at him.
"Why are you in my room?" she asked, pointing at him.
Wei Yuanxi was stunned for a second, and said without opening his eyes: "This is my room......"
"Open your eyes and see for yourself. Ji Anxin pointed to the furnishings of the room, "This is obviously my room." ”
"......" Wei Yuanxi opened his eyes slightly, and what he saw was indeed different from the furnishings in his room.
He covered his aching forehead and thought about it, and said uncertainly, "Maybe I went to the wrong room last night......"
"Didn't you sleep all the night last night?, why did you get up again?" Ji Anxin asked as he stared at him.
It was because he was drunk and unconscious last night that Ji Anxin didn't lock the door, but he didn't expect to be caught in the house in the middle of the night.
Wei Yuanxi scratched his head, his face a little ugly.
"I remember, it was like getting up and drinking water. ”
Ji Anxin saw that he seemed to have a headache, probably a hangover reaction, and thought that he didn't do anything else, so he softened his voice and said, "Get up, I'll get you some honey water." ”
Wei Yuanxi grimaced and hummed.
She put on another dressing gown over her pajamas, and after going out, she washed up in the bathroom outside before going into the dining room.
Wei Yuanxi got up and went back to his bedroom.
After some care, he changed into formal clothes and went out.
Ji Anxin soaked him in honey water, and now stood in front of the stove to cook dumplings.
Seeing him come out, she pointed to the cup on the table.
"Drink some honey water, and the hangover reaction will not be so great. ”
Wei Yuanxi pulled out a chair, sat down, took a sip of the cup, and then turned his head and asked, "What are you cooking?"
"Dumplings. Ji Anxin responded, and then said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to have artificially wrapped dumplings here." ”
Wei Yuanxi pondered for a while and said, "It should have been wrapped up by Sister-in-law Liu before." ”
While speaking, the dumplings in the pot were also cooked, and Ji Anxin served two bowls and served them to the table.
While handing Wei Yuanxi chopsticks, she said: "There are a lot of them in it, I see that there are many thin skins and fillings, and there are many tricks in the wraps, which are quite good-looking." ”
Wei Yuanxi hooked the corners of his mouth and explained: "Sister-in-law Liu is from the north, and the craftsmanship of this dumpling is indeed a must. ”
Ji Anxin sighed and said, "No wonder. ”
After the words fell, she picked up a dumpling, blew the hot air, and opened her mouth to take a bite.
The dumplings are tightly wrapped, there is no water at all after entering the mouth, and the thin skin is wrapped in a plump and fragrant meat, which provokes the taste buds in the mouth and arouses people's appetite.
Wei Yuanxi took another sip of honey water, and when he saw that she looked very satisfied, he hooked his lips and smiled.
"Is it that delicious?" he asked.
Ji Anxin swallowed the dumplings and nodded again and again: "It's really good, it's better than the dumplings I've eaten before." ”
Wei Yuanxi, who made dumplings made by Sister-in-law Liu, had eaten a lot before, and he had long been accustomed to the taste, and when he saw Ji Anxin praising him so much, he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks.
He took a bite and thought it was okay, nothing special.
Ji Anxin looked at him expectantly and asked, "How is it?"
Wei Yuanxi said nonchalantly: "It's okay." ”
"You, I guess you're used to it, and you're not surprised. Ji Anxin pulled the corners of his mouth and said.
Wei Yuanxi didn't speak, but remembered what happened last night.
He put down his chopsticks and asked Ji Anxin, "By the way, how did I come back last night?"
Ji Anxin was lowering his head and picking up another dumpling with chopsticks, when he heard the movement in his hand, he paused, and said, "When I came back, I happened to run into Lu Zhengnan to send you home, and then he handed you over to me." ”
Wei Yuanxi remembered what he had talked to Chu Wei about in the bar last night, looked at her with some hesitation and asked, "That, did I say anything strange?"
"......" Ji Anxin was stunned for a second, then raised his head, looked at Wei Yuanxi, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "No, you are as drunk as a pig, you can't move, and it took me a lot of effort to move you to the bed." ”
Wei Yuanxi frowned, not quite liking the metaphor in her mouth.
"What about Lu Zhengnan, he didn't help you?"
"He's faster than a rabbit. We met in the elevator, and after handing you over to me, he slipped away......" Speaking of the back, Ji Anxin's face gradually sank, "When he saw me, he didn't seem surprised at all. ”
Wei Yuanxi knew what she was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry, Zhengnan is not a person who can chew the root of his tongue, he usually turns a blind eye to this kind of thing." ”
Ji Anxin sighed and said, "That's good." ”
Later, the two finished breakfast.
Wei Yuanxi packed up and went to the company, Ji Anxin leaned against the wall to look at the man who was wearing shoes, and asked, "Did you find any news from your private detective?"
Wei Yuanxi kicked off his slippers, shook his head, and said, "Not yet, wait and see, I will inform you immediately if there is news." ”
"Hmm. Ji Anxin nodded and watched him go out.
The man opened the door, thought about it, and turned his head to look at Ji Anxin again.
"You're staying home all day?" he asked.
Ji Anxin responded and said, "Yes, going out is indispensable to be watched, I would rather stay at home." ”
Wei Yuanxi nodded and read in a low voice: "That's good." ”
The words fell, and he walked out.
Ji Anxin saw that the door was closed, and turned around to go back to the living room.
She pulled out a blanket from the bedroom, looked for a foreign movie on TV, and snuggled up on the couch to watch it. Halfway through, she remembered that she saw Lu Zhengnan last night, and pondered that she hadn't contacted Zhao Yiren for a long time, so she asked her how she was doing on WeChat.
Zhao Yiren may be busy or something, and he hasn't replied to the message for a long time.
Another half an hour passed, and the movie was already halfway over, and Ji Anxin's mobile phone screen flashed.
She looked at it and found that it was Zhao Yiren's reply.
"It's simply, the whole iron-walled man !!!!!!! south of the road"
This person put a string of exclamation marks behind his sentence, and also attached a fire-spitting emoji, which is enough to show how angry Zhao Yiren is now.
Ji Anxin smiled helplessly and asked, "What's the matter, are you in trouble?"
These words seemed to open Zhao Yiren's chatterbox.
Ji Anxin watched her type for a long time, and sent it for a long time.
After adding WeChat, this person didn't speak. Then I took the initiative and said that it was your friend who wanted to consult him about some legal matters, and then guess what he said?"
"What do you say?" asked Ji Anxin echoing her.
"He's giving me an offer!!!!" Ji Anxin could almost imagine her snarling as she uttered this paragraph.
It was inconvenient to type, and Ji Anxin asked if he could talk on the phone.
Zhao Yiren replied: "There are people around, and it's not good to talk on the phone." ”
Then she continued: "I was confused, thinking that this was not the right direction, and then I thought that maybe it was a good idea, so I asked him out to meet. ”
"Uh-huh, then what?" asked Ji Anxin.
"On the day we met, I was dressed up beautifully, but this person was stunned and didn't blink. ”
Ji Anxin tugged at the corners of his mouth and entered: "This is his fault, I don't appreciate a beautiful woman as big as you." ”
"You still know me. After a few seconds, Zhao Yiren sent another paragraph: "Later, I asked him what his hobbies were and what he liked to eat, but he didn't answer a word, and said that I didn't come to talk about things seriously." ”
When Ji Anxin saw this, he sneered, and secretly said that if you ask like this, even a fool can see that you are interesting to him.
She was about to send it like this, when Zhao Yiren suddenly sent a voice.
When she clicked on it, she heard her say that someone was looking for her, so she wouldn't talk about it yet.
Ji Anxin deleted all the words he typed before and reposted a bye-bye emoji.
After chatting, she threw away her mobile phone and stretched out on the sofa.
The movie had also come to an end, Ji Anxin lost the interest in going back to watch it, turned off the TV, and returned to the bedroom.
In the evening, Ji Jianmin sent a few pictures of jewelry, saying that it was prepared for her engagement day. Ji Anxin looked at it casually, replied "It's okay", and ignored it again.
Two days later, Ji Anxin was alone and drove to Fengshan Sanatorium.
This time she went during the day, and with the help of acquaintances, she went through the back door.
She sat in the house with Jiang Mingyue for half an hour, and she talked for so long.
Jiang Mingyue kept her face calm and worried.
"You've thought it all through?" Jiang Mingyue asked her.
Ji Anxin nodded and said, "This is what the Ji family owes to their mother and us, and they should be punished." ”
Jiang Mingyue sighed: "I don't want you to worry about the past anymore, because those things are in the past, we have to look forward, let them go, and let ourselves go." ”
"Not really. Ji Anxin shook his head, "Grandma, if you let them go, the suffering that my mother suffered before will be meaningless." ”
Jiang Mingyue knew that she was stubborn, and she couldn't persuade her, so she asked, "Does Yuanxi know this?"
Ji Anxin shook his head and said, "I didn't plan to tell him." ”
"Since you like him so much, can't you live a good life with him?Why do you have to toss this?" Jiang Mingyue held her hand, pinched and pinched, and said earnestly.
"Grandma, these are two different things. Ji Anxin still insisted on his thoughts, "You just don't know anything, and don't tell Wei Yuanxi, okay?"
Jiang Mingyue stared at her, and after a long while, she let out a long sigh and nodded.
"What a sin, why should you bear this?"
Ji Anxin hugged her, and her eyes gradually began to turn red.
"Grandma, soon, as long as we finish this, we will be free. After that, we will leave here and go back to our own hometown, and we will never care about these things again. ”
Jiang Mingyue's face was gloomy, and she shook her head helplessly.
Soon, the day came to the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After discussing the two families, they decided to hold a banquet at the Wei family and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.
Ji Anxin went to the sanatorium at two o'clock in the afternoon to pick up Jiang Mingyue, and arrived at Dingshan Huafu at half past three.
When the car drove to the door, Wei Yuanxi came to greet him.
Jiang Mingyue came to the Wei family for the first time, except for Chen Shuyuan and Wei Wangjing, no one else knew her, even the people of the Ji family, she saw it for the first time in her life.
The Ji family was not enthusiastic with her, only Ji Jianmin came over to chat with her, Jiang Mingyue didn't exist as if he didn't exist, and then he was no longer bored.
Chen Shuyuan could talk to her, and the relationship between the two was good when they were in the nursing home, and they chatted happily like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Ji Anxin leaned on the pillar of the side hall and watched them chat, and Wei Yuanxi came over from behind.
"You're right, grandma really doesn't want to see the Ji family. ”
Ji Anxin tilted his head, glanced at him, and said, "You saw it too?"
Wei Yuanxi hummed, leaned closer, and almost put his ear to her ear and said, "Look how ugly your father's face is." ”
Hearing this, Ji Anxin frowned tightly and said in a low voice: "He's not my father." ”
As the words fell, she turned and ran into the kitchen.
Wei Yuanxi's face froze, pondering that he had said the wrong thing.
At this time, Ji Xuanyue, who had been sitting in the side hall, walked to Wei Yuanxi's side.
"Brother Yuanxi, I really don't understand why you would choose such a woman to be your wife. She glanced in the direction Ji Anxin had left, and the corners of her mouth sneered.
Wei Yuanxi didn't speak, Ji Xuanyue became bolder, and continued: "A child born to my father and a wild woman outside, his identity is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and his temper is also poor, and he actually throws his face at you, he really has no education at all. ”
The man's face sank more and more, and he turned his head sideways to look at the woman opposite.
"In my opinion, being like a villain and playing tricks behind your back is uneducated. When the words fell, he denied again: "No, this is no longer a matter of upbringing. ”
"It's vicious, inhumane. Wei Yuanxi sneered and looked at Ji Xuanyue mockingly.
Ji Xuanyue's face froze, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"You, you...... I don't understand what you're talking about. She dodged the man's sharp gaze and spoke incoherently.
Wei Yuanxi tugged at the corners of his mouth and pulled out a cold smile: "Do you think the things you did were seamless?"
In the past few days, the private detective he arranged has been investigating the fact that Ji Anxin was splashed with dirty water and sent snakes to intimidate, and just yesterday, things finally made progress.
followed the vine and found out that the person behind the scenes was Ji Xuanyue.
However, he hasn't told Ji Anxin about this matter yet.
Ji Xuanyue's hand hanging by her side trembled, and she couldn't help but clench her fists hard.
"I didn't do anything, don't slander me. Ji Xuanyue bit her lip and refused to admit it.
"It's okay not to admit it. Wei Yuanxi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and threatened: "However, if you do this kind of trick behind your back again, I have a way to clean you up." ”
After the words fell, he stopped staying and left the side hall.
Ji Xuanyue breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall, and didn't slow down for a long time.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, there was Chen Shuyuan and Ji Anxin's warm atmosphere, and everyone ate happily. Only Ji Xuanyue was silent and didn't dare to say a word.
After the feast, several elderly female elders sat and chatted in the living room, and the men went to the study to drink tea.
Ji Xuanyue nested in the corner and played with her mobile phone, Liu Ran asked her to restrain herself, and she didn't care.
Ji Anxin helped the maid carry the fruit plate to the living room, chatted with them for a while, and then received a call from Song Rin and walked out again.
She walked to the bathroom, leaning against the wall of the hallway and talking to Song Rin on the phone.
"There is still an hour to go, so I will say Happy New Year to you in advance. She smiled at the corners of her mouth and said to the man on the other end.
Song Rin pursed the corners of his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You are too insincere, so you have to wait for midnight." ”
Ji Anxin raised his eyebrows: "You still dislike it, isn't it the same whether you have passed zero or not." ”
"Alright, I won't talk to you. Song Rin interrupted her, and her tone became serious, "Wei Yuanxi is by your side, right?"
Ji Anxin hummed and said, "Now they are drinking tea in the study." ”
Song Rin said: "My plan is almost finished, and I can submit it after polishing and polishing." You blow more pillow wind to Wei Yuanxi, and let him mention our project early in the new year. ”
"Isn't it, Brother Rin?Chinese New Year's Eve you don't forget about it?" Ji Anxin said jokingly.
"Anyway, I don't go home for the New Year, for me, every day is the same. Song Rin said in a salty voice.
Ji Anxin listened and greeted him.
"Auntie won't urge you to go back?"
Song Rin sighed and said, "Anyway, my relationship with my family is like that, I have to be attacked by all kinds of insults when I go back, and I am not comfortable here." ”
Ji Anxin listened to him so desolate, wrinkled his nose, and said, "Ming'er, I'll go find you, and make up a Chinese New Year's Eve meal for you." ”
"That's a good idea. Song Rin responded, and then said: "Of course, the most important thing is the plan, you talk to Wei Yuanxi more softly." ”
Ji Anxin smiled and responded: "I know, you have to repeat it a few more times." ”
"Okay, okay, I know that you annoy me, then I'll hang up, and I won't delay you and your man's sweetness. With that, he cut off the phone.
"You are really ......" Ji Anxin looked at the phone and shook his head helplessly.
She pondered and went back to the living room, and then Zhao Yiren suddenly sent another message.
Ji Anxin clicked on it, zoomed in to take a look, and saw that it was a selfie of Zhao Yiren and Lu Zhengnan in bed.
In the photo, Zhao Yiren held his mobile phone, leaning against the sleeping Lu Zhengnan with his face close to him, smiling sweetly.
Ji Anxin opened his mouth wide in surprise, and almost burst out of his mouth.
In the next second, Zhao Yiren's phone called.
"What's the situation with you?" Ji Anxin couldn't restrain his excited tone and asked excitedly.
Zhao Yiren laughed over there before he spoke: "What's the matter, sisters, are you fast?"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. Ji Anxin sighed.
A few days ago, she also heard her complain that Lu Zhengnan was an iron-walled man who couldn't be attacked. Within a few days of turning her head, she put someone on the bed, can she not be surprised?
Zhao Yiren continued: "This person looked at the iron plate, and he couldn't kick it, but in fact, the amount of wine was poor, and a small glass of liquor was poured. ”
Ji Anxin sounded a little wrong, she asked, "You drunk people, strong?"
"Hmm. Zhao Yiren responded, and denied it: "It's not strong, anyway, he also agreed half-pushed." At the end, she said proudly: "When he wakes up, I will rely on him with a dead face." ”
"......" Ji Anxin didn't speak, holding his forehead and secretly sighing in his heart.
In the past, Zhao Yiren pursued men, and it was not that he had used some excessive means, but they were all people in the circle, and they ended up afterwards.
But this time it was Lu Zhengnan, although Ji Anxin didn't know much about this man, but judging from the first meeting, he was not the kind of man who would compromise easily.
"Yiren, I think you have to be mentally prepared. Thinking of this, Ji Anxin couldn't help but remind her good sister, "Maybe things won't go the way you think." ”
"It's okay, I have several plans, one doesn't work and then implement the other. "Zhao Yiren is now carried away and can't listen to anything.
Ji Anxin wanted to say something more, but she said again: "I won't tell you yet, he seems to be awake, and I'll talk to you later." ”
"Hey......" Ji Anxin shouted, and it hung up over there.
She stared at her phone for a few seconds, estimating that Zhao Yiren's annual meeting was uneasy.
She shook her head and turned to go back to the living room.
As soon as she turned around, she paused.
I don't know when, Wei Yuanxi stood two steps away behind her.
She was a little dissatisfied with his behavior, and frowned, "When were you here?"
Wei Yuanxi didn't answer her question, but walked forward, closer to her.
"What, is there anything I can't hear?" the man narrowed slightly, his gaze falling on her face.
Ji Anxin pursed his lips and shrugged, "Friends just greet Happy New Year." ”
Wei Yuanxi's face softened a little, remembering what happened before, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Just now, I talked about you...... When Ji Jianmin was born, were you angry?"
Ji Anxin looked up at him, thinking that he didn't know why, and he didn't do it right to throw his face at him like that before, so he said, "No, I ...... I'm just not used to calling him that, and you know, he's been ignoring me for so many years. ”
Wei Yuanxi nodded and said, "I understand." ”
After a pause, he said: "Actually, the previous investigation of the private detective has already had results. ”
"Really?" Ji Anxin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
When the words fell, she looked at Ji Xuanyue around the corner.
"What is the result?" she asked.
Then, leaning closer to the man, he raised a hand and stroked the man's face.
Wei Yuanxi was stunned, not understanding why she was suddenly like this.
Before he could react, the woman was already standing on tiptoe and imprinting a kiss on his lips.
"It's Ji Xuanyue, she did ......" The words behind were all drowned between the lips and teeth of the two.
Ji Anxin heard those three words clearly and stopped suddenly.
She retreated and walked straight towards Ji Xuanyue.
"Smack!" Ji Anxin raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face.
"Anxin, what are you doing?!"
In the next second, Chen Shuyuan's reproachful voice sounded.
Ji Anxin's face stiffened, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Shuyuan and several elders standing there.
