Chu Boyang gently pressed Ji Fengmian’s shoulder. Ji Fengmian finally glanced at him.
His expression was calm.
“What’s the matter?”
He stared at her short hair for a long time before saying slowly, “I’ll carry you to the car.”
With that, he bent down to hug her. However, Ji Fengmian retreated and glanced at the car door. The wound on his waist had just healed. If he lifted his leg to get into the car, there was a high chance that it would affect him.
!!
She turned to look at Chu Jing.
“Chu Jing, carry me to the car.”
Chu Boyang’s eyes flashed.
Chu Jing went forward to avoid the wound on her waist and carried her carefully.
Then, he bent down and placed her in the car.
“Don’t move.”
Ji Fengmian had undoubtedly been spoiled by the Chu family. As time passed, the entire family had subconsciously pampered her.
Chu Jing supported her back and took a pillow from the side. He placed it behind Ji Fengmian’s waist before letting her lean against him.
He looked down at her and asked in a low voice, “Can I?”
Ji Fengmian nodded and grunted.
The two of them were very close. When Chu Jing leaned forward to get a pillow for her, his shoulder would brush against her face. When he spoke, his breath would spray on her face.
However, their expressions were unusually natural, as though they were already used to such close contact.
Chu Boyang’s eyes darkened.
After Chu Jing settled Ji Fengmian down, his gaze landed on her face for two seconds before he retracted his gaze. He stood up and closed the door.
Then, she nodded at Chu Boyang and got into the driver’s seat.
Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu also got into the car.
Chu Boyang stood rooted to the ground as he watched the car leave.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have experienced this situation many times.
—
Uncle Chu had arranged everything at the school.
She could attend the graduation ceremony.
During this period of time, Ji Fengmian had been recuperating at home. Chu Jing would bring her a few documents every day.
Sometimes, she would sit in the study room and video call Chu Jing. She would attend a few company meetings or discuss new projects or explore new industries.
If he felt that it was feasible, he could invest in a small project or enter a brand new industry.
Other than reading books, taking a walk, and going online to search for information and real-time business developments, the day was especially fulfilling.
Sometimes, Ji Fengmian would boast to Chu Jing, “I feel like I’ve missed out on hundreds of billions in the past. I’m so smart. If I had started my career earlier, I might have become the richest woman in Asia.”
Chu Jing laughed dryly and said, “Yes, you’re the smartest.”
It wasn’t that Ji Fengmian was trying to be brave, but he really felt that focusing on earning money was indeed beneficial to one’s health.
The ups and downs in the process were much more interesting.
After two months, her injuries were almost healed.
She went to the salon to get her hair repaired, and there were a few more sets of mature clothes in the wardrobe.
She wore a sapphire blue shirt, a simple black skirt, and light makeup.
Although he was a little mature, the shirt with the lotus leaf sleeves gave off a youthful and fashionable vibe.
Chu Jing, who was waiting for her outside, widened his eyes when he saw Ji Fengmian.
“What… what are you doing?”
Ji Fengmian brushed his hair and said, “Let’s go to the company to take a look.”
Chu Jing grinned.
Without informing them in advance, when the company’s employees saw Ji Fengmian, who had followed Chu Jing to the company, there were rumors that she was Chu Jing’s girlfriend.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman were indeed pleasing to the eye.
Ji Fengmian didn’t mind, but Chu Jing felt uncomfortable.
Most importantly, he had been ordered to bring her around the entire company. Although he had introduced the shareholders to the leaders of the various departments, the two of them had become childhood sweethearts.
It was Ji Fengmian’s first time in the company and it felt good.
The two of them went for lunch and got off work in the same car in the afternoon.
“Are you… still coming tomorrow?”
Ji Fengmian sat in the passenger seat and glanced at him. “Do you want me to do it or not?”
“I think… you haven’t recovered yet…”
Ji Fengmian nodded. “Then I’ll sleep in tomorrow morning.”
Chu Jing heaved a sigh of relief.
The next day, Ji Fengmian carried a food box and headed straight for Chu Jing’s office.
Chu Jing’s scalp went numb. “My god, what do you want? Gossip about us is everywhere in the company. Are you going to let me live?”
Ji Fengmian placed the food box in front of him. “How much do you despise the gossip between us?”
Chu Jing rubbed the goosebumps on his body and said, “Spare me. If my father finds out that I’m wooing his eldest daughter, he’ll skin me alive.”
Ji Fengmian laughed. “A piece of gossip scared you so much? I think…” She sat on the desk and turned to look at him. “Who do you like in the company? Are you afraid of being misunderstood by her?”
Chu Jing waved his hand and said, “Office romance is prohibited.”
“Then it’s fine,” she said as she pushed the lunchbox towards him. “Eat your lunch.”
Chu Jing opened the lunchbox. The food inside was still warm.
The moment he took a bite, his expression changed.
It looked alright, but what the hell was that smell?
Ji Fengmian stared at him and narrowed his eyes threateningly.
Spit it out and break his head.
She swallowed it and gulped down two mouthfuls of cold coffee.
“You… this… you ate lunch?”
“Yes.” Ji Fengmian nodded. “Aunt Chu’s lotus root ribs are not bad.”
Chu Jing searched the entire food box, but he didn’t see any lotus root ribs.
“Where?”
“I cooked this for you personally.”
The corners of Chu Jing’s lips twitched. “So you ate my mother’s cooking for lunch and brought me the dishes you cooked?”
“This will make me seem more sincere.”
“…” Chu Jing put down his chopsticks and took a deep breath. “You want to express your sincerity so badly. What do you want me to do?”
“Boyfriend?”
Chu Jing almost fell off his chair.
“What?!”
Ji Fengmian repeated word by word, “Male. Friend.”
Chu Jing said in one breath, “What do you want?”
Ji Fengmian glanced at him and stood up to adjust his tie.
“Can’t I let you experience the taste of dating?”
“…”
Ji Fengmian inched closer to him. “To be honest, have you ever had a woman?”
Chu Jing looked at the approaching face and swallowed his saliva. He reached out and poked her shoulder lightly.
“You… stay away from me.”
“Huh? Do you want to be my boyfriend?”
Chu Jing’s temples throbbed. “A few days?”
Ji Fengmian smiled and straightened his body. He took a bite of the food and spat it out.
“That depends.”
Chu Jing was speechless.
He could more or less guess why Ji Fengmian wanted him to be her boyfriend.
She had lived a carefree life for the past two months, but that didn’t mean that Chu Boyang had given up on pestering her.
Every now and then, she would spend the night downstairs. The next day, when he went to work, she would occasionally see his car parked downstairs.
He even asked her how she was doing.
Even though he wanted to meet her, he didn’t dare to. He could only wait silently downstairs and learn about her situation over the past few days. Even a man like him couldn’t bear to see her like that.
He had mentioned it to Ji Fengmian twice, so it was impossible for her not to know.
In the past, she rarely went out when she was recuperating. She couldn’t be bothered with him even if she couldn’t see him.
But with her personality, she couldn’t possibly stay at home to avoid Chu Boyang.
How to make Chu Boyang stop pestering her? Finding him was definitely a good idea.
Hence, his purpose was probably to help Ji Fengmian dump Chu Boyang.
A few days later, Chu Boyang spent another night downstairs.
When they went downstairs, Ji Fengmian held Chu Jing’s arm.
This was the first time Chu Boyang had seen Ji Fengmian.
Ji Fengmian glanced at him indifferently before getting into Chu Jing’s car.
Chu Jing closed the car door for Ji Fengmian and nodded at Chu Boyang before getting into the car.
They were talking in the car. Their expressions were natural, but not natural.
She held Chu Jing’s arm and came down together.
He knew that they were familiar with each other, but they had never been so intimate before.
His eyes darkened as he watched their car leave. Chu Boyang took out a cigarette and lit it.
He had never smoked before. Judging from the way he was smoking, he seemed to be a drug addict.
“Are you sure you can shake him off like this?”
“Sooner or later.”
“Don’t you think we’re being too indifferent?”
Ji Fengmian smirked. “He’s not a fool. Do you think he’ll believe me if I kiss and hug you in front of him?”
Chu Jing nodded thoughtfully. “Indeed.”
“I don’t expect him to believe me immediately.”
Chu Boyang didn’t believe it, but the rumors in the company weren’t for nothing.
As long as Chu Boyan didn’t believe it, he had to verify it.
One person said that, two people said that, and everyone said that. There would be a day when they believed it.
Chu Boyan’s addiction to cigarettes grew.
His assistant was deeply touched.
He could clearly feel Director Chu’s frustration.
Now that Miss Ji was four months pregnant, her stomach was bulging and she had applied for a leave of absence.
Now, she was alone in the hospital.
Director Chu didn’t ask her about the situation.
Miss Ji called him every day to ask about the situation, but other than saying that Director Chu was busy, he didn’t know what to reply.
He had mentioned Miss Ji’s situation before, but he had ignored it.
Looking at his current state, he definitely couldn’t mention it.
He instructed him to keep an eye out for any news regarding Miss Ji.
However, after observing for a while, he broke out in cold sweat.
Miss Ji and her childhood sweetheart seemed to be dating.
If it wasn’t a big deal for the two of them to go to work and have lunch together, then they would occasionally go to a movie at night. On Saturdays, they would go shopping together. They would buy clothes and jewelry. They would even buy both men and women. Then, the two of them would have a romantic dinner.
There was a reason why Director Chu was in such a bad mood.
If this didn’t prove anything, then the fact that Miss Ji had booked the presidential suite in advance on the day of her graduation…
Chu Boyang had lost his patience.
What did she want to do in the presidential suite on the night of the graduation ceremony?
