Jiang Zhi and the man were heading into the villa at No. 7 Courtyard when she received a message from Xiao Ran. It roughly informed her that Jiang Xinian was in a hurry to return to Beijing with his luggage.
When Jiang Zhi first saw this message, her brow twitched, and the man beside her seemed to notice her strangeness.
His low, deep voice came from the side, "What's wrong?"
After being asked by the man, Jiang Zhi's heart lifted even more. She Vague Path,"It's nothing, just some work matters."
Shang Chi casually glanced at her phone, squeezed her palm, and said, "Then you handle it. I'll go in first."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi's hanging heart relaxed a little, and she replied, "Okay."
After the man went in, Jiang Zhi called Xiao Ran.
At this time, Xiao Ran had just witnessed the conversation between Qing Jie and Jiang Xinian.
When she saw it was Jiang Zhi calling, she immediately answered and tattled, "Sister Jiang Zhi, Jiang Yingdi has been persuaded to go back by Qing Jie. Don't worry."
Jiang Zhi frowned, "Qing Jie? Why is Qing Jie with you?"
Xiao Ran remembered something she overheard a few days ago and said, "It seems that the director of the dating show wants to increase the scale of the program, so he called Qing Jie to discuss it."
Jiang Zhi thought for a while, "Okay, I understand."
Now that Jiang Xinian has no agent, this matter really needs Qing Jie to step in.
But she still couldn't figure out why Qing Jie stopped Jiang Xinian from coming back.
Before she could think about it, Jiang Xinian's call came in.
Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.
Now, it has to be resolved.
Jiang Xinian on the phone was obviously stunned, probably not expecting Jiang Zhi to answer the call.
Jiang Zhi didn't beat around the bush with him and got straight to the point, "Jiang Xinian, I really got married to someone. Let's break up peacefully."
Jiang Xinian didn't believe it and said to himself, "Is it to get back at me? Are you lying to me? You obviously loved me so much..."
"No!" Jiang Zhi interrupted him, her voice cold and unemotional, "I don't love you anymore. We ended it the night you betrayed me."
Jiang Xinian clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Then what was that day when you sent me to the car! Was it just to send me away so you could have time to hook up with a random man?! Ah!!"
Jiang Zhi was not affected by his despicable words at all, and said calmly, "Jiang Xinian, I never said I forgave you. Sending you to the car and helping you pack your luggage was just doing my duty as your agent."
After a pause, she added, "Also, he is not a random man, he is my legal husband."
Jiang Xinian laughed angrily. Thinking back to that day, she really never said she forgave him. It turned out she was just giving him the runaround.
He never knew women could be so cunning.
He really shouldn't have let her have too much contact with Lin Yanran. He really regretted not being tougher at that time and completely cutting off her contact with the outside world.
Hearing Jiang Zhi's last sentence, Jiang Xinian was directly enraged and said in a low voice, "Still want to anger me? Jiang Zhi, I tell you, as long as you don't show me the marriage certificate one day, I won't believe it!"
Jiang Zhi listened, glanced in the direction of the villa, and said, "Okay, wait for me."
After speaking, she hung up the phone and strode into the house.
Aunt Zhang saw Jiang Zhi entering the door and greeted her with a smile, "Madam, you're back."
Jiang Zhi nodded, and at the same time she glanced at the living room. Not seeing the man's figure, she asked, "Where is Sir?"
Aunt Zhang replied, "Sir went to the study."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi went straight to the second floor and walked towards the man's study.
The study door was closed. Jiang Zhi raised her hand and knocked on the door. The man's low and indifferent voice came through the thick door, "Come in."
Jiang Zhi pushed open the door. The man was sitting upright at the desk, looking down at the documents in his hand.
He was only wearing a black shirt, with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing his sharply defined Adam's apple, and his collarbone was faintly visible at the neckline.
The man's side profile was cold and clear, with thin - rimmed gold - wire glasses resting on his high, mountain - like nose bridge. The lenses reflected the light from the computer screen next to him, and his cold lips were pursed.
The man lifted his eyelids to look at Jiang Zhi, then his deep eyes focused on the documents on the desk.
"Is there something?"
Jiang Zhi came back to her senses from the man's appearance, walked to the desk, and asked softly, "Um... can you give me the marriage certificate?"
Shang Chi's hand flipping through the documents paused, and he shifted his gaze to Jiang Zhi. His eyes were dark and unclear, "Why?"
The man's gaze was slightly oppressive. Jiang Zhi pursed her lips and said, "It's useful."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone beeped with a WeChat notification. She lowered her head to take a look.
Jiang Xinian: [Jiang Zhi, ten minutes have passed. Don't tell me your marriage certificate is still at the civil affairs bureau.]
Shang Chi leaned back in his office chair, his posture unrestrained, and looked at her deeply, "When I showed the marriage certificate to grandpa last time, I left it at the old house. Are you in a hurry?"
Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, "Hmm, then I'll go there now."
With that said, she turned to go out.
She had just opened the door when the man appeared behind her without her noticing. His strong arm stretched out, and his large hand with prominent veins pressed against the door, closing the small gap with a "bang".
Facing the man's sudden move, Jiang Zhi turned around in confusion and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Shang Chi lowered his eyes. Behind the lenses, his eyes were as deep as a pool, containing emotions that Jiang Zhi couldn't understand, "What do you think grandpa will think if you go to the old house now, hmm?"
Jiang Zhi was stunned. It was already past ten o'clock at night, which was really inappropriate.
If she went, she was afraid that grandpa would think she was having a fight with the man.
She was just focused on getting rid of Jiang Xinian and forgot about this.
Shang Chi reached out and hooked her waist. His cold voice carried a hint of temptation, "I'll get it for you tomorrow."
There was no other way. Jiang Zhi nodded, "Okay."
As she spoke, the WeChat notification sound on her phone rang again.
Jiang Zhi's fingertips holding the phone tightened slightly. She pushed the man away, "Then I'll go out."
Shang Chi's eyes darkened. His long arm swept out, and he pulled her, whose waist was barely graspable, into his arms fiercely.
Jiang Zhi was caught off guard by the man's action and let out a soft exclamation. Her hands instinctively bent at the elbows and clung to the man's shoulders.
The two of them were pressed tightly together.
Before Jiang Zhi could react, the man quickly took off his gold - wire glasses with his other hand and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
A strong masculine scent suddenly overwhelmed all her senses.
Their breaths intertwined and lingered.
The man kissed her eagerly, as if he wanted to devour her.
Jiang Zhi was so disturbed by Jiang Xinian that she had no mood to be intimate with the man.
She struggled to push him away. When she looked up, she was frightened by the terrifying desire surging in his eyes.
Shang Chi held the woman tightly in his arms. As soon as his other hand lifted her skirt, it was stopped by the woman.
Her refusal came to his ears, "Achi, I'm not in the mood now, okay next time?"
