Chapter 230: 228: The Woman’s Battlefield (2) because we love each other!
After taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and shouted, “Oh shit, I forgot to remind that little pup to have dinner!”
Murmuring to himself, he walked into the house.
His father was home.
His mother was not.
Whenever his father was present, his mother would be absent.
From the start of their memories, their relationship had always been this way, living separate lives.
“Yin Qin!” Yin Bin looked at his son, his face darkening.
Yin Qin looked at his father, “What’s up?
“Be serious when you’re at the company! Be diligent!” Yin Bin’s voice was cold, “Learn more from your cousin!”
Yin Qin rarely bothered to engage in conversation. “Why should I learn from a person I don’t like!”
“Do you want me to leave all my business to your cousin!” Yin Bin hollered, jumping up from the couch and bitterly rebuking his son, “I’ve raised you, given you good food and clothes, and you haven’t shown an ounce of gratitude!”
“Whom you want to leave your business to, that’s your business. I can’t control it.” Yin Qin remained unfazed, “But about raising me… do you have any right to say that? Have you ever raised me? Yes, I admit you gave me good food and clothes, but did you give me anything else?”
Yin Bin was trembling with rage, “What else do you want!”
Yin Qin didn’t want to argue with his father. Anyway, they had never seen eye to eye since childhood. He said, “Forget it. Just consider me ungrateful.”
Having said that, he turned around and left.
“Yin Qin!” Yin Bin was so mad that his whiskers were twitching.
Yin Qin nonchalantly went upstairs.
His mother happened to be coming down. Seeing Yin Qin return home, she greeted, “You came back quite early tonight.”
Yin Qin grinned, “Are you surprised?”
Qin Keqin shrugged, “I rarely care about whether you are dead or alive.”
Yin Qin pouted.
Qin Keqin casually strolled to the living room and poured herself a glass of water.
At this moment, Yin Bin was still seething. Upon seeing Qin Keqin, his rage flared up again, “Look at your son, what has he become!”
Qin Keqin paused, then turned to look at Yin Bin, “You’ve disliked Yin Qin since he was a child. It’S not bad that he has turned out this way. Like him or not, that’s your business. Have we ever forced you?”
Yin Bin glared at Qin Keqin.
At this moment, Yin Qin, standing on the 2nd floor, was clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Who would enjoy watching their parents argue?
He was that anomaly.
“Qin Keqin, all these years, where have I gone wrong! I work hard every day to make money so you two can live comfortably; can’t you just give me some peace of mind?” Yin Bin glowered.
“I admit I have been raising a son, but I haven’t used a dime of yours.” Qin Keqin replied, sipping her water nonchalantly. “By the way, isn’t the divorce contract still with you? Once you sign it, we can be legally separated. That way we don’t have to live under the same roof and irritate each other.”
After finishing her words, Qin Keqin put down her empty cup and got up to leave.
Yin Bin quickly reached out and grabbed Qin Keqin.
Qin Keqin’s face changed slightly.
Yin Qin, standing on the second floor, looked somewhat displeased.
“Let go.” Qin Keqin•s voice was somewhat cold.
Yin Bin stared at her intently.
“I said, let go!” Qin Keqin said, word by word.
Yin Bin looked ugly, but he let go, “When will this end?”
Qin Keqin remained indifferent, “I’m not making a fuss, just waiting for you to sign the divorce papers.”
“So just because of one mistake I made when I was younger, you’re going to make me lose face for decades!” Yin Bin gritted his teeth.
Qin Keqin sneered, not saying anything.
She then turned around and headed for the second floor.
Yin Bin was left staring at her retreating back.
It’s been twenty-four years!
This woman has been bearing a grudge against him for twenty-four years!
Yin Qin watched his mother go upstairs, trotting over with an obsequious grin, “Miss Qin has once again KO’d Mr. Yin!”
Qin Keqin shot her son a look, “You’re just hoping that once we get a divorce, there’ll be nobody to control you.”
“No, I’m hoping that you’ll dump my dad and find your own springtime. I’m telling you, Miss Qin, with your current state, you could easily get a man my age. I have a lot of resources available, do you want me to introduce you to…”
“Beat it.” Qin Keqin said, irritated, “Do you think I’m that shallow?”
“So, what’s your type?”
Qin Keqin thought seriously, “I think Ji Baijian isn’t too bad…”
“Mom, you have great taste! Among the guys I know, he’s the best. But unfortunately, he’s already married. Let me help you search for another…” Yin Qin seemed very enthusiastic.
Qin Keqin kicked her son, “Stop messing around!”
“I was just trying to make you happy!”
Mother and son were sharing a laugh.
Yin Bin stood behind them, watching their interaction, completely ignoring his presence.
He didn’t know how he’d put up with not divorcing all these years!
Luo Xiaolang drove back to the restaurant.
After waiting for a while, Song Zhizhi came downstairs.
She sat in the car and asked Xiaolang, “Have you had dinner yet?”
“Not yet.” “I’ll order takeout for you to take home.” “Thank you.”
Song Zhizhi ordered takeout for Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang looked at Song Zhizhi and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you think Ji Baijian and Yin Qin are bad
Song Zhizhi frowned, “Why would you suddenly ask that?”
“No reason.” Luo Xiaolang didn’t seem to want to elaborate.
“Not bad.” Song Zhizhi gave her a definitive answer, “It’S just that when interests do not align, they may become hostile.” “Would Ji Baijian harm you?”
“I don’t know.” Song Zhizhi sighed.
“Knowing that you and Ji Baijian might become enemies, why would you still marry him? Living under the same roof, sharing the same bed, aren’t you afraid?” Luo Xiaolang asked.
Song Zhizhi laughed, her smile somewhat bitter in that moment.
Yes indeed.
Despite knowing that he was not simple, despite knowing that he hid many things, why would she still marry him? Why would she still share a bed with him?
“Is it because you like Ji Baijian very much?” Luo Xiaolang asked.
Having been in this city for so long, she had learned a lot, and had also gained a lot.
She hadn’t experienced love affairs, but she had seen lots of TV dramas and movies, where love was highly exalted.
“It’s because we love each other.” Song Zhizhi spoke slowly.
So, she couldn’t bear to let go.
She couldn’t bear to give up lightly.
The car fell into silence once again.
Luo Xiaolang presumably found it too profound to understand.
Sometimes, she didn’t understand why she was so persistent either.
Perhaps.
Ji Baijian had firmly told her, he would protect her and her family’s safety.
With that alone, she could love him wholeheartedly for a lifetime!
The car slowly pulled into the garage.
Song Zhizhi and Luo Xiaolang went to their respective homes.
Song Zhizhi opened the door to the house, feeling strangely unfamiliar with everything in front of her.
She was really married.
Was really living under the same roof with Ji Baijian.
The scenes she had always imagined were now realized.
She went upstairs and opened the door to the bedroom.
Inside, Ji Baijian was sitting in a wheelchair, reading a book.
He was reading classical poetry.
Song Zhizhi found it hard to understand Ji Baijian, his interests were truly baffling.
She walked over.
Ji Baijian naturally put the book aside.
Song Zhizhi bent down to hug Ji Baijian from behind, her head rested on his shoulder, her face buried in his neck.
A faint smile appeared on Ji Baijian’s face, “How did the talk go?”
“Of course it fell apart.” Song Zhizhi was somewhat dissatisfied, “That woman Qin Jingxiang is really no good.”
“Then don’t negotiate anymore.”
“No way.” Song Zhizhi let go of Ji Baijian, looking directly at him, “Do you think I’m the type to give up easily?”
“From what I know of her, she won’t compromise.”
“She must care about something.” Song Zhizhi said with a smirk.
“Hmm?”
“She said, if I give you to her, she would agree to my terms.” Song Zhizhi said, looking very serious.
Ji Baijian frowned, “I don’t sell my charms.”
Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but laugh, “My husband, you really are quite sought after!”
“That’s why you need to hold on tight.” Ji Baijian said seriously.
“Showoff.” Song Zhizhi stood up to leave.
The moment she left, she was suddenly pulled back by Ji Baijian.
Then with one pull, she fell into his arms, her body pressing against his leg.
Song Zhizhi was startled, “Ji Baijian… ”
“My dear wife, I hope you understand.” Ji Baijian moved closer to her cheek, at a very close distance, “In this lifetime, I will only be sincere with you.” Song Zhizhi’s face turned red.
What are you talking about being sincere?!
Your ruined body…
Trying to act serious, Song Zhizhi pushed Ji Baijian away, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Ji Baijian watched as Song Zhizhi got up and went to the bathroom.
Apparently, she looked disgusted. What does that mean?!
He looked down at his own calf.
Is it a problem?
It probably isn’t.
Song Zhizhi came out of the bathroom after her shower.
Ji Baijian had left a bowl of soup by her bed.
There was a refreshing smell, and it should taste good.
“The aunt specifically boiled it for you, she said it helps to nourish your qi and replenish blood.” Ji Baijian said, “Wasn’t there a river of blood? You need to replenish it.”
“…” Song Zhizhi felt awkward for no reason.
How could he talk about this to others?
Especially when it comes from the mouth of a man like Ji Baijian, wouldn’t that scare some people to death?!
She could totally imagine how flabbergasted Zhang Qingmei would be when she received the call.
Song Zhizhi drank the soup, brushed her teeth again, then lay in bed to sleep.
Ji Baijian lay next to her.
The two of them huddled together.
Song Zhizhi was thinking about how to make Qin Jingxiang compromise.
For her, if she could find a breakthrough, she would definitely fight till the end.
She was tossing and turning, and couldn’t fall asleep.
Ji Baijian was at home all day, except for sleeping, he was reading. At this moment, he wasn’t sleepy at all, feeling the person beside him constantly rolling in bed. He sighed, and asked in the dark, “How many days has it been, my lady?”
“Hmm?”
“How many days has it been since your period started?”
Song Zhizhi’s face flushed slightly.
In fact, it was very light tonight.
Usually, it would completely disappear the day after tomorrow.
She turned to face him, “What are you thinking?”
“To have intercourse.” “Not a chance.”
“First, get yourself well.”
“How many days has it been, my lady?” Ji Baijian seemed not to want to hear anything else, appearing very stubborn.
“Sleep.”
“It’S the fifth day, right?” “Ji Baijian, can we just sleep?!
“Two more days.” Someone muttered.
Song Zhizhi turned over to face away from him.
No matter how many days, he would have no chance! As the night deepened,
Someone was having trouble sleeping all night.
The next day.
Song Zhizhi opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened them, she was greeted by a handsome face.
A smile tugged at the corners of Song Zhizhi’s mouth.
She gently touched his defined jawline, stubble tickling her hand, the more she looked, the more handsome he seemed!
“Madam.” The man, alluring even with stubble, suddenly opened his narrow eyes.
His deep gaze met hers, making her heart race uncontrollably.
“Awake?” His husky voice had an irresistible charm.
Song Zhizhi withdrew her hand, feigning indifference, “Awake.”
“Then let’s get up.” Ji Baijian suggested, his casual demeanor remained intact.
Despite everything, Song Zhizhi felt her face burning intensely.
Even the mere act of Ji Baijian gazing at her made her blush, while the man before her managed to maintain an unruffled composure.
Song Zhizhi sat up, then stepped off the bed, heading towards Ji Baijian intending to help him into his wheelchair.
“There’s no need, Madam.” Ji Baijian stopped her.
“Hmm?” Song Zhizhi furrowed her eyebrows. “In the morning, I prefer to get out of bed by myself.”
“Hmm?”
“You go ahead to the bathroom, I’ll need it afterward.”
” .” This guy, he must be insane.
But she decided to let it slide.
Song Zhizhi turned around and stomped off to the bathroom.
Ji Baijian slowly exhaled a deep breath, flipped open the blanket to examine himself, slowly regaining ms calm.
By the time Song Zhizhi finished her morning routine, Ji Baijian was already seated in his wheelchair.
As he watched her emerge, he couldn’t help but break into a smile.
Song Zhizhi indifferently bypassed him and walked into the dressing room.
Ji Baijian called after her, “Are you going out today, Madam?”
“Yes.” Song Zhizhi replied without turning back, “It’s the weekend. I’m heading home.”
Ji Baijian sighed.
He lowered his gaze to his leg and sighed once more.
After changing into her clothes and seeing that Ji Baijian has also finished freshening up, Song Zhizhi grabbed her bag and headed for the door, “I’m leaving.”
“Madam.” Ji Baijian stopped her.
Song Zhizhi paused.
“You’ve forgotten something.” Ji Baijian reminded her.
Song Zhizhi frowned.
Ji Baijian pointed towards his cheek.
Sometimes, Song Zhizhi thought Ji Baijian had grown shameless after their marriage.
She approached him, bent down and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Ji Baijian laughed.
Song Zhizhi quickly departed.
The moment she stepped out the door, she too, couldn’t help but wear an exuberant smile.
As she caught her reflection in the elevator mirror, her smile slowly faded.
If only….
If only there weren’t so much deception and conflicts of interest involved, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Song Zhizhi returns to the grand Song residence in the car driven by Luo Xiaolang.
Song Shan greeted the return of his daughter with a warm smile, “Why didn’t you tell us you were coming back? Your father would’ve told the maids to prepare more dishes.”
“I won’t eat that much anyway.” Song Zhizhi replied, “I’m back because I have something important to discuss with you.”
“How can I help?”
“It’s about your IT project.” Song Zhizhi got straight to the point, “The person who got the highest G-Value index, SWT belongs to Qin Jingxiang.”
“Qin Jingxiang?
“Yes, Qin Jingxiang, prosecutor Qin Wenguo’s youngest daughter.” Song Zhizhi looked at her father,
“So our goal now is to get her to join your IT project. It’s the only way to ensure we win in the S Country project.”
“How can you be sure that SWT is Qin Jingxiang?” Song Shan asked, puzzled, “I know that Qin Wenguo’s daughter is highly intelligent. She was always accelerated in school, but I know nothing about her achievements. Qin Wenguo always lets her make her own choices, and she rarely appears in public. I’ve only seen her once, which was during your wedding.”
“There’s no need for you to know too much about it, Dad. But I can assure you that I’m confident about her identity. We should focus on how to persuade her to join us.”
“It won’t be easy.” Song Shan drilled in, “If Qin Jingxiang were an ordinary person, I might be able to persuade her. But she’s Qin Wenguo’s daughter, and you know there’s rivalry between Qin Wenguo and me. Everyone knows that if I can close this deal, my position in the commercial management will be more secure. Old Master Ye’S support for me recently hasn’t exactly been a secret. Why would Qin Wenguo want to sabotage himself? He is not on good terms with me and has a better relationship with Chu Zhaotian instead. There’s no way he would want to help me!”
“So we must find a way.” Song Zhizhi retorted, then seemed to be taken by surprise, “Dad, I find it strange that Old Master Ye has suddenly taken your side. He’s always been impartial all these years, and now he’s favoring you.. Don’t you think there’s something wrong?”
