C132 (1/2)
”Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry. Immediately, immediately.” Ji Weiyang didn't say anything further and stuffed Zhan Yan into the Land Rover's carriage.
Zhan Yan laughed and said, teasing him like she did two days ago, ”Weiyang, I'm hungry, why don't you eat first? After dinner, you can go anywhere you want. ” A pair of soft arms wrapped around his neck. Zhan Yan pouted her red lips and pressed the tip of her nose against his, looking like she was acting coquettishly.
Normally, her acting so coquettishly was extremely enjoyable for Ji Weiyang. He really wanted to hold her in his palm, but today, he coldly tore off her arm from her neck. His broad hands cupped her face, forcing her to look directly at him.
This time, he would not allow her to escape. He was really going crazy. His father was pressing him to marry a woman he didn't love. Lu Manyun allowed him to bear children with other women. As for Zhan Yan, despite being in love with him, she coldly pushed him away every time he proposed a remarriage.
He only loved her, he only loved her. Why did this love seem so intolerable? Every step he took was accompanied by difficulties and dangers.
He held her face and looked deeply into her eyes, her eyes faintly shining with a wet light, ”Zhan Yan, are you still going to continue escaping? You tell me? Have you ever thought about living with me for the rest of your life? ”
Zhan Yan raised his eyes and looked back at her quietly. His deep and sorrowful eyes had stung her heart for some reason. ”Yes.” She answered very firmly.
”Then we'll get married, and we'll be together forever. Will you?” Ji Weiyang was still holding onto her face, but the strength in his palms could not help but become stronger.
Zhan Yan's coquettish smile froze on the corner of her lips. Her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and her tears blinked out. Her beautiful eyes became misty. She looked away, not daring to look at him, and said in a quivering voice, ”Viyan, I'm sorry.”
Sorry, ah, the words he didn't want to hear the most were just these three words. He wanted an answer, yes or no. Oh, no, there was nothing he didn't want. What he wanted in his heart was a definite answer.
”Zhan Yan, why are you sorry? What do you think? How could you let me down? ” He was obviously aggressive.
Zhan Yan lowered her head and bit her lips, not saying a word. Her mind was in a mess as she kept asking herself, ”What are you sorry for?”
I love you. I'm sorry, I can't bear to leave you like this.
Her silence made Ji Weiyang a little angry. He suddenly laughed mockingly at himself. So it turned out that the so-called mutual protection, the so-called lifetime, was merely a one-man show for him alone. From beginning to end, no one had given his any blessings. Even she was cowering in fear.
Grieving, he pushed the door open and got out of the car. The sound of the door closing was very loud, as if it had fallen on someone's heart. Ye Zichen sat in the car by himself and watched him walk into the mansion with a blank expression on his face.
That night, Ji Weiyang was alone in the manor's underground wine cellar. He wore a royal blue striped shirt, and his tall body leaned lazily on the wine rack. He had already lost track of how many treasures he had been drinking, but the goblet in his hand was still untouched.
He knew that the alcohol would only temporarily numb his brain, but that was good for him as long as he could numb this moment because the pain was so intense that he could barely withstand it.
However, he couldn't blame anyone, much less Zhan Yan. The cause he planted himself, this bitter fruit, was only for him to suffer.
Actually, her father was right. They had been married for three years, and if he gave her more time, they would already have a child of their own. When he could, he did not know how to cherish it. When he wanted it, he would not have the chance. This was the punishment of the heavens.
He smiled bitterly, then lifted his goblet once more. Just as he was about to drink it all, a white arm suddenly stretched out from behind him and snatched the cup from his hand. The dark red wine was poured onto his other red lips.
She drank so hard that her esophagus hurt from the burning of the liquor in her lower abdomen. She could not stop coughing a few times.
Ji Weiyang turned around and swept across Zhan Yan with an indifferent gaze, and said in a low hoarse voice, ”You shouldn't have come here.”
Zhan Yan imitated him, holding onto the wine cup with two of her fingers, her body lazily leaned on the wine rack, her lips forming a faint smile. The light in the wine cellar was dim, so Ji Weiyang could not really see her expression, but that smile was deeply engraved in her eyes. Her smile carried a hint of melancholy, a hint of vicissitudes, and a hint of helplessness.
She did not speak, but poured herself another glass of wine. This time, she drank it slowly and gracefully. Her snow-white skin was warm under the orange light. Her long, jet-black hair flowed down onto her chest. Her expression was indistinct in the darkness, like a fairy in the night. A trace of allure appeared out of thin air.
As she slowly drank, she saw the last of the wine in the cup come to an end. Just as she was about to pick up the bottle of wine and pour the wine again, Ji Weiyang grabbed his.
He suddenly leaned over her, his large body holding her in his arms, blocking the only light above her head. She raised her little face, her heart filled with him.
”Go out.” He coldly spat out three words, and his lips stopped an inch away from her lips. The warm breath he exhaled was accompanied by a strong aroma of alcohol.
It was unknown whether it was the alcohol or not, but Zhan Yan suddenly felt her face boiling hot, and her body starting to heat up. She subconsciously pursed her lips and faintly moaned, ”Hot.” As she spoke, her fingers had already undone the first button on her chest.
She wore a soft and soft down jacket with a very low collar. When the buttons were unbuttoned, a large area of snow-white hair could be seen on her chest. Her alcohol tolerance was shallow, and what Ji Weiyang had kept were all aged wine, she was really faint and almost drunk, his consciousness was starting to blur.
”Wei Zhanyan, you're done! Get out! ” He also felt a little drunk. While he was still able to control herself, he didn't want to hurt her.
Zhan Yan raised her head and looked at him, then looked at him with a deep gaze. Her gaze was a little blurry, and after that, large teardrops started to unceasingly roll down her clear and limpid eyes.
”Vuyo, I want to be with you forever.” However, I really can't marry you. The only thing I can do is to be selfish and steal a short but happy time from your side.
Ji Weiyang went silent. His hands gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, continuously wiping them. While feeling vexed, he suddenly lowered his head to grab her lips and fiercely kissed her. Their lips and tongues were entwined, and the mellow scent of alcohol became a catalyst for temptation.
His kiss was very tight, making it almost impossible for Zhan Yan to breathe. She started to struggle restlessly in his embrace, and her eyes that had been washed by tears, became very beautiful.
Zhan Yan's chest was moving up and down rapidly, her consciousness had cleared up a little, and she knew what was going to happen next. She was shy and a little afraid. But she did not push him away. She was not slow at all as she felt that the Ji Weiyang today was extremely abnormal. Something must have happened to cause him to lose control.
If there was no eternity between them, then the only thing she could grasp was every single moment of their defense.
Zhan Yan's body became weaker and weaker. Her wrist turned soft and the remaining wine in the cup dripped onto the ground. The dark cellar was filled with the fragrance of the wine, which was faint and charming.
Ji Weiyang suddenly grabbed her waist and let her sit on the stage. He stood in front of her and looked down at her.
And then, it all happened.
Zhan Yan felt that she was about to faint. She held onto his neck powerlessly with her hands, staring at him innocently with her watery eyes, when Ji Weiyang suddenly realised that the thing that was numbing the pain was not alcohol, but her, her gentle embrace and her soft body.
”Yan Yan, say that you love me?” His long, beautiful fingers curled lightly under her chin.
”I, love, you.” Zhan Yan replied obediently.
”How much?” he asked again.
Zhan Yan suddenly hugged him, her head resting on his chest, her eyes were once again brimming with tears, her cherry red lips trembled slightly as she spat out a sentence, ”Love more than life itself.”
Ji Weiyang's heart suddenly warmed, as though he was being filled with something warm, his entire body was warm.
He lowered his head, grabbed her lips, and passionately kissed her.
After the cloud and rain, she softly fell into his embrace, letting him caress every single inch of her skin, unwilling to let go.
”I'm tired.” She murmured softly.
”Mm, I'll carry you back to rest.” He held her, but his head was against her heart. Zhan Yan knew that he was listening to her heart rate. Her heart was beating a little too fast, but it was still within normal limits.
”Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Ji Weiyang asked.
Zhan Yan smiled warmly and shook her head, ”No, I'm fine.”
Ji Weiyang laughed sinisterly, then lowered his head and bit on her lips fiercely: ”But I'm not good, I haven't asked for enough of you.”
Zhan Yan blushed again as she punched him in her chest.
Ji Weiyang took off his shirt and wrapped it around her naked body, then carried Zhan Yan out of the wine cellar. After the sex, all the pent-up emotions seemed to have been released, and neither of them mentioned the previous incident. Ji Weiyang acted as if nothing had happened and continued to take care of her. On the other hand, Zhan Yan was so smart that she did not question her at all.
Even though they were all deceiving themselves for their own sake, Zhan Yan often thought that if she could continue deceiving others like this, deceiving herself, even if it meant deceiving herself for the rest of her life, she would still be willing.
Returning to the bedroom, Ji Weiyang immediately carried her into the bathroom. Ji Weiyang carried her into the bathtub, and the soft water ripples wrapped around each other. He gently helped her wash the sticky and turbid water off her body.
Zhan Yan only felt her entire body becoming powerless as she laid on his chest. She could only enjoy his service with a red face.
After washing his body, he began to wash her long hair. He held the soft hair in his hands like a precious gem.
During this time, the two of them barely spoke to each other, but their gazes were intertwined. This feeling was far more wonderful than communicating through words.
After taking a bath, he wrapped the big and soft towel around Zhan Yan's body and carried her back to the big bed in his bedroom.
”You must be exhausted. Just go to sleep after taking the medicine.” He kissed her lightly on the forehead, then got up to pour water.
She came back very quickly, and Zhan Yan took the cup and pills from him. Zhan Yan would take a lot of medicine every day, all of them were prepared beforehand by the doctor to look like a small bag, every time she ate a bag of pills. There were many types of medicines. If one called them other people, there was definitely no way to tell the number of medicines.
Maybe it was because she was once a doctor, but Zhan Yan was very sensitive to medicine. She looked down at the assorted pills in her palm, and soon found the small white one that she had never seen before. She knew very well that it was a contraceptive pill.
Her beautiful eyes gradually lost their splendor as she raised her head to put the medicine into her mouth and gulped down the water. For some reason, the medicine today seemed to be a hundred times more bitter than usual.
But she had to eat it. She had no choice.
The two of them lay on a soft bed. Zhan Yan buried her head into the soft pillow, blinking her beautiful eyes. Ji Weiyang leaned on the headboard, drinking coffee and flipping through documents. There was only a dim yellow light inside the room, the light was hazy and ambiguous.
But what was even more ambiguous was Ji Weiyang's expression and tone, ”Still not sleeping? You want to continue to do bad things? ” He still held the stack of financial statements in his hands, but he lowered his head, his thin, sexy lips resting just an inch away from her skin. ”If Yan Yan Yan wants it, I can barely cooperate with his.”
”Who asked you to force it?” Zhan Yan pushed him away playfully.
Ji Weiyang laughed and rubbed her hair lovingly, ”Didn't you say you were tired? Why aren't you sleeping? ”
”Waiting for you.” Zhan Yan pulled at a corner of his silk pajamas with her small hand. How long will it take you to read those reports? Ji Weiyang, how much money do you want to earn? ”
Ji Weiyang paused as he held onto the report with his fingertips, his gaze deep and profound. Actually, to Ji Weiyang, money was already a set of numbers, but as a man grew more mature, his control over things became stronger and stronger. Perhaps what he wanted was not money, but a type of control.
”Alright, I'm not watching anymore. I'll sleep with you.” Ji Weiyang threw the financial statement to the side and laid by her side, hugging her soft body and letting her rest his head on his arm.
Zhan Yan was still unable to fall asleep, her own home had casually drawn circles on his chest, ”Do you know, you haven't come back in two days?”
”Hmm, it's been too long since I left for the company. I've piled up a lot of documents, and I'll be back at your place on time every day from now on.”
Zhan Yan smiled warmly and nodded in satisfaction.
”What did I do when I was gone?” Ji Weiyang asked again.
”What else can I do? Didn't the nanny report it to you?” Zhan Yan pouted slightly, carrying some dissatisfaction.
Ji Weiyang smiled warmly as he gently supported her cheeks with his palm, ”I want to hear it from your own mouth.”
Zhan Yan pursed her lips, contemplated for a moment, then said: ”Reading, eating, sleeping, thinking of you.”
This saying of 'thinking of you' was extremely enjoyable for Ji Weiyang. He lowered his head and kissed Zhan Yan's soft and moist lips, asking her how deep it was and how painful it was to be entangled. The two of them fought for a while before finally falling into a deep sleep.
At this time, on the other side of the hospital, Lu Manyun was walking on high heels along the empty corridor. The doctors in the hospital informed her that Lu Anqi's condition had worsened, and if she was unable to undergo corneal transplantation within a week, she would forever be blind.
She pushed open the door and entered the ward. This time was different than usual. There were no lights on in the house. It was pitch black. Lu Anqi hid in the corner and hugged her knees, shivering. Her small face was buried in her palms as she sobbed and trembled.
Lu Manyun stopped in front of her and called out indifferently, ”Angel.”
Lu Anqi finally raised her moist eyes and grabbed onto the corner of Lu Manyun's clothes, crying extremely miserably, ”Mom, quickly save me, quickly save me! I don't want to be blind forever, I don't want to. ”Mom, do you know how terrifying it is in the dark? I don't want it, I don't want it …”
Lu Manyun closed his eyes, and everything in front of him turned into darkness. That feeling of sinking into endless darkness, was truly terrifying. After a long while, she opened her eyes and smiled sarcastically, ”So, the feeling of being blind is really bad. But, Angel, your fear and fear is not a reason to hurt others.” ”Looks like I am indeed a failed mother. All these years, I did not teach you well.”
”Mom, what did you say?” Lu Anqi raised her tear-stricken little face, her voice trembling slightly.
Lu Manyun slowly crouched down and used a white handkerchief to wipe the tears off her face. Angel, tell Mom the truth, did you plot to kill Zhan Yan? ”
”Mom, what did you say?” Lu Anqi opened his eyes wide in shock, his empty eyes were at a loss of what to do. She was as innocent as she could get, and the hands behind her back were clenched into fists.
”Mom, don't you believe me? He didn't believe me, and I don't blame him. But how can you not believe me? You are my mother, and I am your daughter. ” Lu Anqi screamed in pain, she was half real and half fake, she acted extremely well.
Lu Manyun sighed heavily in frustration, she really did not know if she should still believe in her. Lu Anqi was indeed pitiful. She had been abandoned since she was young and had a good relationship with someone. Because of her, she had met with Luo Meihui's opposition, and was tricked into going abroad by that Lin beast. When Lu Manyun thought of this, he felt a heartache, because she had to take responsibility for An Qi's tragedy.
But, Lu Anqi had also almost killed her own daughter. She was the same as Ji Weiyang, she did not believe in Lu Anqi's innocence.
”Angel, I can't believe you, because you're not just my mother, and I'm not just your daughter.”
”What?” Angel became even more confused.
Lu Manyun's palm lightly rested on her shoulder, but she did not plan to explain. ”She just sighed lightly.” Your mother's case has been decided.
Lu Anqi did not dare make a sound, but her lips were tightly pursed. Her body was trembling slightly. A suspended death sentence? Even if she didn't understand the law, she knew that this wasn't the type of case where a suspended death sentence should be so serious. Just for Wei Zhanyan, Ji Weiyang, he was really vicious. He clearly knew that it was her mother, her own mother!
”Mom, why are you saying this? I don't want to hear it. ”Mom, my surname is Lu. The only mother I have ever seen in my life was you.” Angel threw herself into Lu Manyun's embrace and started crying loudly again.
Although Lu Manyun did not push her away, the relationship between mother and daughter had long been divided. ”A lot of things, once a crack appears, it's hard to sew.” Alright, go to sleep. Don't cry anymore. People have to accept reality. Back then, when I brought you out of the orphanage, I was responsible for your life. I'll take care of you if you can't see your eyes for the rest of your life. ”
Lu Anqi was also tired from crying, and she obediently let Lu Manyun carry her onto the bed. Her eyes were closed, her breathing shallow. Of course, there was no difference between opening and closing her eyes at this moment.
Although she couldn't see, her ears were exceptionally sharp. She heard Lu Manyun walking around the house, closing the curtains, tidying the cabinets, and pouring a cup of water. Then, she pushed the door and walked out.
The sickrooms and corridors during the night were abnormally quiet, to the point where Anqi could actually hear every single word Lu Manyun was making a call from the corridors.
”Weiyang, how is Zhan Yan today?”
”She's fine. She's already gone to sleep.” Ji Weiyang's voice was very soft and gentle on the other end of the phone. At this moment, Zhan Yan was sleeping right beside him, with his head in his arms. As he talked on the phone, her gaze was also gently locking onto the little woman in his arms.
”Mn, you take good care of Zhan Yan. As a mother, I have never done my duty as a mother, so I can only entrust Zhan Yan to you.” Lu Manyun sighed deeply.
”Don't worry, I will.” Auntie, is there anything else? ”If not, I'll hang up now. Yan Yan Yan is still resting.” Ji Weiyang lowered his voice again.
”Alright, alright, I'll call you next time.” Lu Manyun replied and quickly ended the call.
Lu Manyun once again returned to the sickroom. She turned her back to her and quietly fell asleep. However, the hand hidden under the blanket had long since clenched into a fist, and even the fingernail had sunk deep into the palm. Heh, it's really dramatic, Wei Zhanyan is actually Lu Manyun's biological daughter, isn't her daughter already dead? How come she didn't die? She died cleanly.
She thought angrily and actually fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up again, she was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing. It was already broad daylight. She couldn't see it, but she could feel the sunlight streaming in through the window.
Lu Manyun picked up the phone, quietly listened, did not say a word, and waited until the phone rang. Her expression was somewhat strange, but it was not a sorrowful expression. Instead, it was a kind of melancholy.
”Mom, I'm thirsty. Can you give me a glass of water?” Lu Anqi sat up on the bed.
”Yes.” Lu Manyun responded, she poured a cup of warm water from the water bottle and passed it to her.
Angel drank some water and heard Lu Manyun say calmly, ”Angel, tomorrow you can prepare for the operation, someone donated their corneas to you.”
”Really?” Lu Anqi was overjoyed, his empty eyes staring widely, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes. In response to that saying, she was on the verge of despair. After sleeping for a while, someone had donated the cornea to her.
Lu Anqi fumbled her way out of the bed, and walked towards the direction of the voice, hugging Lu Manyun happily, ”Mom, I'm so happy, what about you? Are you happy for me, too? ”When I regain my senses, I can go back on stage. Mom, we'll be the same as before, I'll perform, you stay with me, and I'll leave you the best VIP seat every time, what do you say?”
Lu Manyun did not reply, but instead asked. ”Could it be that you're not curious about who donated their corneas to you?”
Lu Anqi's voice paused for a while, and after being silent for a long while, she once again recovered her smiling face. Can't you just give the family money as gratitude? ”
Perhaps, Lu Anqi was too excited, the smile on her face was growing bigger, as though something had sounded out. She suddenly grabbed Lu Manyun's hand and said, ”Mom, quickly give me your phone, I want to call Weiyang, I want to tell him that I can start the operation, I'm about to recover.”
Lu Manyun naturally wouldn't give her her phone, but pressed her down on the bed, ”Angel, stop messing around, Weiyang has his own family, he no longer belongs to you, listen to mom, don't disturb him anymore.”
She almost forgot, Wei Zhanyan was Lu Manyun's biological daughter, how could she let her ruin the happiness of her biological daughter?
”Mom, I understand. I will listen to you.” Lu Anqi clenched her teeth and spat out a few words. However, she was naturally extremely resentful in her heart.
Lu Manyun nodded his head in relief, then said: ”You rest first, I will go discuss the specific timing of the surgery with the doctor.” After she finished speaking, she pushed open the door and left.
On the other side, Ji Weiyang also received this news. When Tang Feng called, he was in the kitchen cooking porridge for Zhan Yan.
”I say, Director Ji, in such a good time, you're not coming to work and serving women at home. Aren't you afraid that I'll swallow your assets up?” On the other side of the phone, Tang Feng mocked.
Ji Weiyang's ears were stuffed with radio headphones, and he was holding a spoon full of porridge in his hands. As long as you have the guts. ” He followed with a sentence. His tone was so calm that it was seemingly emotionless, but it also carried a hint of deterrence.
Tang Feng snorted, and did not continue making fun of his.
”Let's get down to business. If you don't have anything to say, then just hang up. It's time for Yan Yan Yan to eat.” Ji Weiyang said somewhat impatiently.
”Last night, Vice Dean Zhao committed suicide in the hospital and left a will to donate his cornea to Lu Anqi. She should be able to operate tomorrow.”
There was only a short period of silence on the other end of the phone while Ji Weiyang continued to scoop porridge. Zhao's death seemed to be within his expectations. He was also a prideful woman. A prolonged death would gradually lead to a life sentence, making her stay in prison for the rest of her life. It was more painful for her than killing her.
”Mm, I understand. If there's nothing else, then I'll be hanging up.” Ji Weiyang said in an indifferent tone.
”We must attend the evening meeting with Vice Mayor Wu.” Tang Feng reminded his, and tactfully hung up.
Ji Weiyang brought the breakfast to the dining hall. Zhan Yan was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her. She had just woken up not long ago and was wearing her pajamas.
”Yan Yan, you can start the meal now. Taste the crab yolk congee that I cooked, it's definitely not worse than what Master Tong Ji has cooked. ” Ji Weiyang placed the bowl in front of Zhan Yan, and intimately brought the spoon to her lips.
Zhan Yan laughed, with a childish smile, she opened her mouth and swallowed the porridge in one gulp. The temperature was moderate, but the taste... Well, she declined to comment.
”Is it delicious?” Ji Weiyang asked eagerly.
Zhan Yan smiled warmly and nodded, ”Delicious.” As long as he fed it to her, even if it was poison, she would still find it delicious.
Ji Weiyang was somewhat pleased, he casually scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, but in the next moment, his expression changed. He forced himself to swallow the porridge. It was simply impossible to swallow.
”Come on, don't eat. We should eat western food today. I'll go give you the bread and milk.” Ji Weiyang picked up the dining plate and walked towards the kitchen, thinking to himself that Tong Ji's chef must have tricked him. After accepting that much money, he taught him to such an extent.
personally spread the strawberry jam onto his breakfast and then handed it over to Zhan Yan. She naturally enjoyed his service.
