Chapter 125 - . Pregnant! (1/2)

After Chu Piaoyun fled, He Yi invited Ji Xueshan to sit down and drink coffee.

“Since you’re here, let’s try the coffee!” He Yi instructed the waiter to serve hot coffee. At the same time, she brought the menu. She ordered two pastries and handed the menu to Ji Xueshan.

As Ji Xueshan looked at the menu, she smiled and said to He Yi, “To think that you were able to scare Empress Chu into such a state, I didn’t know that you would be able to do it!”

“A person who didn’t do anything wrong shouldn’t be scared by a knock at the door in the middle of the night!” He Yi smiled and said, “It’s not me who scared her, but the things she did wrong!”

“It’s been so many years. Who can scare Empress Chu into such a state?” Ji Xueshan shook her head, ordered a few pastries, and handed the menu back to the waiter.

The waiter had just walked to the door of the private room when they saw Yi Liangze walking in.

“What’s going on?” Yi Liangze asked as he walked in. “I met Empress Chu as I walked in just now. She looked like a hundred ferocious beasts were chasing after her! Can you tell me what happened just now?”

Ji Xueshan stood up and nodded at Yi Liangze in greeting. Ever since the incident with the cold medicine, she has been a little nervous every time she sees Yi Liangze.

Yi Liangze nodded reluctantly as a form of greeting. After the incident with the cold medicine also, although he did not pursue the matter further, his attitude towards Ji Xueshan had become much colder.

He Yi was still sitting there, smiling faintly. “The only one who can scare her is herself!”

Yi Liangze somewhat understood. He sized He Yi up again and sighed. “No wonder you asked Qin Weixian to investigate Empress Chu a few days ago. It seems that your efforts were not in vain!”

“Since we have declared war with Empress Chu, we must be prepared!” He Yi smiled confidently. “This is only the beginning. The good show is still to come!”

If Chu Piaoyun could not handle it in the beginning, then she would be even more passive later. The more panicked the other party was, the greater the chances of He Yi winning.

“Good!” Yi Liangze gave He Yi a thumbs up and commended her generously. “It’s much easier for you to do things than it is for me!”

After all, he and Chu Piaoyun were still relatives, so it was not appropriate for them to shed all pretense of cordiality. Fortunately, He Yi was not the kind of woman who could hide under his wings. She needed his protection and help to get rid of all kinds of trouble.

He Yi could settle all those messy matters by herself. As her husband, he naturally supported him.

Seeing the unconcealed admiration and enthusiasm in the man’s eyes, He Yi pursed her lips slightly and invited, “Let’s sit down and have a cup of coffee together!”

Yi Liangze was very disappointed with such an invitation. “What do you mean by having a cup of coffee together? I still want to have dinner with you!” After saying that, he looked at the private room and shook his head. “This private room must have been chosen by Empress Chu, right! Let’s change to another private room!”

Ji Xueshan lowered her head. She knew that Yi Liangze was using this as an excuse, but he just didn’t want to be disturbed.

“Oh,” He Yi hesitated for a moment. “I’ve already ordered coffee and pastries… Xueshan, you can eat here!”

“Yes, Alright,” Ji Xueshan replied.

When He Yi stood up, Yi Liangze had already carried her bag. The couple chatted and laughed as they walked out.

When the two of them left the private room, Ji Xueshan sat down again in disappointment.

Soon, the waiter brought over coffee and pastries and placed them on the coffee table.

Looking at the tempting fresh pastries and the fragrant hot coffee, Ji Xueshan did not have much of an appetite. She slowly stirred the coffee with a silver spoon while thinking about something.

After a long time, the coffee gradually cooled down, but she still did not take a sip. She did not even take a sip of the exquisite and tempting pastries until Yu Shujun walked in.

Ji Xueshan raised her head and saw Yu Shujun. She felt a little surprised. Then, she stood up warmly and made way for her to sit down. “Sister Yu is here. Please take a seat!”

Yu Shujun sat down on the seat He Yi had just sat on. She looked at Ji Xueshan and asked with concern, “You don’t seem to be in a good mood!”

Ji Xueshan was stunned. She did not know how the other party could see through her thoughts. She knew that she was not a person who would show her emotions, not to mention that the other party had just entered. For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

“Perhaps you are a little strange. How would I know that you are not in a good mood!” Yu Shujun seemed to be able to see through Ji Xueshan’s thoughts. She blinked and slowly said, “Actually, it’s very simple. I am the same person like you!”

I’m the same person like you! This sentence was like a needle that pierced into Ji Xueshan’s heart without any warning. Her hand that was holding the silver spoon trembled slightly as she looked at Yu Shujun warily.

However, Yu Shujun was very indifferent. She picked up the silver spoon and slowly tasted the cup of coffee that originally belonged to He Yi. After a long while, she raised her head again. “We are all extraordinary women. We have our pride and abilities, as well as loyal and fanatical pursuers. We are very outstanding, but we were wrong to fall in love with someone who shouldn’t be loved!”

Ji Xueshan could no longer remain silent. She quickly denied, “Sister Yu, you must be joking! I…”

“There’s no need to rush to deny it!” Yu Shujun interrupted her. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to see through the other party’s heart. “Am I right? You can only judge it in your heart!”

The last time Ji Xueshan was reprimanded by Yi Liangze for the cold medicine incident, she cried out loud. When she was most sad and helpless, Yu Shujun was the one who comforted her. Therefore, she always had a sense of gratitude toward Yu Shujun. However, what the other party said made Ji Xueshan feel terrified. She instinctively wanted to escape and hide her denial.

However, none of this could be hidden from Yu Shujun. She didn’t want Ji Xueshan to deny it. Therefore, the other party could only allow her to continue speaking.

“I’m already in my thirties, and… I can’t give birth anymore!” Yu Shujun’s smile was filled with loneliness, and her voice was as calm as the clouds in the sky. “In this lifetime, I don’t dare to hope for anything anymore. It’s just that you’re still young, and I can’t bear to see you as me. You can only be at the mercy of fate, wasting your youth and years!”

“Sister Yu.” Ji Xueshan couldn’t hold it in anymore. She looked at Yu Shujun, the wariness in her eyes becoming more and more obvious. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

She was born in the police force, and her EQ was very high. She originally thought that Yu Shujun’s comfort when she was sad was warm and kind, but now it seemed that it wasn’t that simple.

Yu Shujun looked at her and asked sharply, “Don’t you want to marry him? To enjoy his love and gentleness, just like He Yi does!”

Ding! The silver spoon in Ji Xueshan’s hand dropped, and she hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

“There’s no need to pick it up!” Yu Shujun stopped her. “It’s just a spoon. I’ll get someone to get you a new one! “Although this restaurant is funded by Yi Liangze, I’m the nominal owner of it! I can still afford to hire such a small boss! See, to be able to stay by this man’s side and be in his eyes, there are many benefits! Even if he didn’t accept me, he was still very generous!”

“Sister Yu, I still have something to do!” Ji Xueshan lowered her head and didn’t look at Yu Shujun anymore. “If you don’t have anything else to say, I should go out!”

“The two of them are loving each other in the private room. I don’t want you to disturb them at this time!” Yu Shujun kindly reminded her. “Don’t forget about the cold medicine incident last time. If you offer your hospitality wrongly, you will only be scolded!”

Ji Xueshan bit her lip fiercely and turned her face away. She was a little angry, or rather, embarrassed and ashamed!

“You are He Yi’s bodyguard. In the end, you are just a servant! Taking money from others to help them get rid of trouble. You have done your best for her. You are also worthy of your conscience! However, you are not young anymore. It’s time for you to consider your future! Yu Shujun looked at Ji Xueshan, she tried her best to persuade her. “I treat you like my own sister. I can’t bear to see you unable to settle down in marriage!”

Ji Xueshan finally couldn’t take it anymore, she turned to look at Yu Shujun. “They’re a loving couple. Do you think I dare to have any delusions? Furthermore, Sister He has always been very good to me! Sister Yu, please don’t say such things in the future!”

“I know that you are a kind girl with a straightforward character and never do anything without a conscience! However, human nature is selfish, you have to think for yourself!” Yu Shujun did not give up and continued to guide her. “I can help you!”

After a period of silence, Ji Xueshan finally asked, “What is your purpose for doing this?”

She did not think that she had any special relationship with Yu Shujun. Although Yu Shujun had comforted and enlightened her when she cried the last time, she had a very good impression of her. However, the other party’s obvious provocation of her relationship with He Yi still aroused her vigilance.

After all, Ji Xueshan was not Wei Jiameng. She was not a fool! She had matured too early due to the hardship of her family since young. She had endured all kinds of hardships along the way. What kind of hardships had she not seen? Even her boyfriend, whom she had been in love with for many years, broke up with her because of her family background. She even gave up her beloved job as a police officer to pay for her mother’s huge medical expenses.

She knew very well that the world was the coldest place in the world. Even if He Yi treated her well, it was because she was worth it. The reason why Yu Shujun, whom she had met by chance, treated her so well was definitely that she had something worth using.

Yu Shujun’s words and actions had already revealed that she was extremely dissatisfied with He Yi!

Ji Xueshan was He Yi’s bodyguard. If Yu Shujun wanted to do anything to He Yi, it would undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort if she could take action against Ji Xueshan.

Yu Shujun did not feel guilty at all when she was questioned by Ji Xueshan so directly. On the contrary, she was full of confidence. “I would rather the woman by his side at this moment be you! He wouldn’t be so unwilling to give me even the slightest bit of time! Xueshan, if you become his woman, I will get much more than what I have now!”

Win-win and the mutual benefit was necessary condition for cooperation!

She could help Ji Xueshan rise to the top, but Ji Xueshan had to be compensated more financially. At the same time, Yi Liangze wasn’t as infatuated with Ji Xueshan as he was with He Yi, so he would also pay more attention to Yu Shujun.

Ji Xueshan shuddered – be his woman! Although she had had dreams before, she had never thought that they would come true.

“If Liangze wants to have a wife, he should take advantage of my heart more than He Yi!” Yu Shujun tore off her pretense and confessed her plans. “I can’t marry him, but I want a woman I’m satisfied with to marry him! This woman is not He Yi!”

He Yi not only attracted Yi Liangze’s full attention but it could even be said that he was madly infatuated with her. Of course, Yu Shujun did not want to see this, especially since she had always thought that her position on Yi Liangze’s side was extraordinary. Now, it was becoming more and more obvious that she had been replaced by He Yi.

Ji Xueshan was stunned for a long time before she found her voice again. “Sister Yu, you’re so honest!”

“Because you’re a smart woman. You can see through everything at once! Beating around the bush will only waste our time!” Yu Shujun sharply reminded her. “A woman’s youth is very short. The sooner you seize the opportunity, the better!”

After a long while, Ji Xueshan replied, “I’ll think about it!”
