Chapter 1282 - He Didnt Contact Her For A Day and Night (1/2)

Cen Xi didn’t accept the sports car.

It was too expensive. Although she had been forced the first time, she stayed with him willingly after. She didn’t need him to repay him with gifts.

Seeing that she didn’t receive it, his expression didn’t look too good, though he didn’t say anything either.

When Qiao Yanze arrived at his office building, his a.s.sistant told him that Ji Wei had arrived early in the morning and was currently waiting in his office.

Qiao Yanze hadn’t met Ji Wei since the Zhou family princess’ coming-of-age ceremony. Now, Ji Wei was sitting on the black sofa in the office. When she heard stable footsteps trailing from the door, she turned back.

Seeing Qiao Yanze walk in, Ji Wei instantly stood up.

She walked in front of Qiao Yanze. She was about to say something when she saw a scratch mark on his neck and her heart instantly tightened.

Why would there be such a mark on Yanze’s neck?

It must have been made by a woman.

Could it be… Could it be that he really had a woman now?

Qiao Yanze stared at Ji Wei, who suddenly didn’t look too good. “Are you sick?”

Ji Wei used everything she had to control her emotions. She looked down and shook her head. “I’m fine…” She took a deep breath before she looked back up at him. “I hope you won’t take me going to find you at your house too seriously. I know that you’ve always seen me as a younger sister and colleague and that you don’t have inappropriate feelings for me.”

Qiao Yanze pat Ji Wei’s shoulder. “You’re an outstanding woman. I know you will find someone better than me in the future.”

After Ji Wei left Qiao Yanze’s office, she returned home. Seeing how soulless Ji Wei looked, her mother asked with concern, “Weiwei, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”

“I’m alright, Mom. I’ll go back to my room first.”

Ji Wei kept herself in her room for nearly a day. She didn’t come down even when her mother asked her to go eat. In the evening, Mrs Ji was worried that something might have happened to her, so she took the spare key and opened the door.

She didn’t find Ji Wei in her room.

Mrs Ji opened the bathroom door then, and saw Ji Wei lying in the bathtub with her head completely submerged under water. Her heart almost stopped beating.

Mrs Ji pulled Ji Wei up. Ji Wei coughed before she smiled and said, “Mom, I just fell asleep while bathing. I’m fine.”

When Mr Ji returned home at night, Mrs Ji told him about Ji Wei.

Mr Ji had heard that Ji Wei went to look for Qiao Yanze in the morning, so he was sure that Weiwei’s strange behavior was definitely related to Qiao Yanze.

…

The next morning.

Qiao Yanze arrived at camp as Ji Hong had asked to meet here.

“Uncle Ji, why did you ask to meet me here?” Qiao Yanze went forward to greet Ji Hong.

Ji Wei shot a few arrows at the target before he turned and smiled at Qiao Yanze. “Yanze, to be frank, I asked to meet you here today to talk about Weiwei.”

Qiao Yanze furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “Uncle Ji, please speak freely.”

Ji Hong made a gesture for them to speak as they walked. “Yanze, I know very well that you cannot force feelings. But Weiwei, she…

“I didn’t want to say some of these things at first. After all, they are a form of hurt to Weiwei. However, Weiwei isn’t in a very good mood right now and I think only you can become her savior.

“Back then, Li Hu, Weiwei and you joined the syndicate together. After a year, Li Hu wasn’t determined enough and became muddled with the large amount of benefit and promised Ba Er to expose the other two members. That day, you were a.s.signed to go make a transaction and Weiwei had found out about Li Hu’s plans. In order to stop Li Hu from exposing you, she took Li Hu’s life in front of Ba Er.
