chapter 73

“She didn’t dare to strangle me. So I don’t feel particularly painful…” Ji Xiaoli shook her head lightly. Although her throat was still a little painful at this time, it was much better than the feeling that she had repeatedly endured the injury from Ji Xuewei. With her father’s promise, if Ji Xuewei provoked her again, she didn’t need to have any more scruples.

“Don’t put up with the pain.” Qin Zhenyang stretched out his hand and gently pressed the trace on her neck. Then Ji Xiaoli cried with pain.

Ji Xiaoli glared at him, “Don’t touch it… I’ll be all right in two days anyway. And you kicked her for me. Compared with my injury, I am more worried about Ji Xuewei’s pain.”

Qin Zhenyang’s eyes became fierce. Because he was in the Ji family, he had a lot of scruples at that time. Otherwise, he might really kill Ji Xuewei. Up to now, no one had dared to challenge his bottom line many times. Ji Xuewei was indeed the first to dare to challenge Qin Zhenyang.

Qin Zhenyang had thoroughly hated Ji Xuewei. As long as Ji Xuewei dared to challenge him again, she would certainly not marry into the Qin family. Even the Ji family could no longer be her shelter.

They went back to the villa. Ji Xiaoli had nothing to do. So she made her design draft in the room. Soon after, her studio began to recruit staff.

She was not majoring in fashion design, so even if she had interest and talent, she was not 100% sure to do a good job in the studio. In addition to Qi Xiaoguang, her studio had to recruit two more employees…

After the studio recruited staff, Ji Xiaoli needed to design the drawings and finished products. Next, she needed to determine the location of the studio. Many factors needed to be considered in this series of work. Ji Xiaoli was not a celebrity designer, and she had only been a designer for two years in her previous design company. She won a prize in the new designer competition, but she thought the significance of this award was not very big… In any case, innovation was the most needed thing at the moment.

Ji Xiaoli was very fortunate that she often went to Qi Xiaoguang’s college to attend classes when she was in college. Usually, college students didn’t want to listen to the boring courses of professors. But it had to be said that some of the lectures were really useful. Ji Xiaoli didn’t realize this at that time, but now she had a profound understanding of it.

Design needed not only concept, but also profound theoretical basis. Recently, she had watched many catwalk shows. She also had some inspiration now, and she hoped to apply it to the first batch of finished designs.

Ji Xiaoli constantly improved her ideas in her drawings. Before long, it was dark. When she put down the pencil in her hand, she found that Huahua was lazy and asleep on her lap. At this time, Huahua was squinting and sleeping.

Ji Xiaoli sat here for a long time, so she felt numb in her legs. In addition, Huahua lied on her lap, which made her a little embarrassed. Coincidentally, Qin Zhenyang came in at this time. Seeing this, he could not help blaming her, “You should go out more. You shut yourself up in your room all afternoon. Do you feel numb in your legs now?”

Of course, he was not satisfied with the fat cat, ‘I’ve never lied on my wife’s lap before. This cat actually enjoys such a good treatment.’ Qin Zhenyang squinted his eyes, then he held Huahua’s ear and threw it down.

Huahua was obviously awakened. It looked at Qin Zhenyang fiercely… Huahua’s strength was too weak, so it quickly succumbed. He hid in a corner and continued to sleep.

Qin Zhenyang squatted down and carefully massaged his wife’s numb legs and stiff joints. She blushed, and her legs returned to normal, “I’m fine. You stand up first.”

Then Qin Zhenyang stood up and put his wife on the sofa. He put one of her legs on his own and continued to massage her. Ji Xiaoli also resisted his husband at first. But later, she simply enjoyed the service her husband provided her. She had been sitting in her bedroom all afternoon, and she was a little sleepy. After her whole body was relaxed, she fell asleep unconsciously.

“Xiaoli?” Qin Zhenyang called his wife gently, and he found that his wife was really asleep. Ji Xiaoli’s hands drooped down. Her long eyelashes blinked. She licked the dry corners of her mouth and turned over. Then she went on sleeping.

The sofa was smaller than the big bed. If no one stopped her when she turned over, she would have fallen to the ground. Qin Zhenyang was very suspicious of his wife’s ability to take care of herself, and he held her in his arms, ‘If I don’t accompany her, can she take good care of herself?’

‘In more than ten days, I will take part in the closed exercise. Is it necessary to ask Qi Xiaoguang to accompany her during my absence? So they can take care of each other.’

If Ji Xiaoli knew what Qin Zhenyang thought, she would feel very angry. For most of these years, she lived alone. Although her father cared about her, she still needed to do it herself in many small details. Whether she was at school or after she worked, she always lived like this… Although she lived on her own, she also felts very happy.

Now she married Qin Zhenyang, so she relaxed her vigilance. She felt that Qin Zhenyang could take care of her, so she felt at ease and became a bit careless. Except at night, Ji Xiaoli usually had a short sleep time. During the day, she would be more energetic after a short sleep. Just like now, she soon waked up again. But she had difficulty breathing. When she opened her eyes, she found that Qin Zhenyang was pressing on her body…

Qin Zhenyang also wanted to quietly watch his wife sleep on the sofa. It was a wonderful moment for him. But looking at his wife, he had a strong sexual desire. Especially looking at his wife’s moist lips, he couldn’t control his own mood. Then he kisses his wife happily…

He had heard about sleeping beauty, but this time he really woke the sleeping beauty up with a kiss. Seeing his wife’s confused big eyes, he felt extremely excited. Qin Zhenyang was not ashamed of stealing kisses. Instead, he hugged his wife tightly.

“Ouch…” Seeing that his wife’s face seemed abnormal, Qin Zhenyang loosened his wife.

So Ji Xiaoli breathed fresh air. She calmed down, and then she hammered Qin Zhenyang with her little fist, “You big jerk! I couldn’t breathe just now, but you still didn’t loosen your grip.”

‘It’s shameless of him to do such a thing while I’m sleeping.’

“Tonight, you sleep in the study, and I will…” Before she finished, Qin Zhenyang deeply kissed her to shut her up. Qin Zhenyang’s implication was obvious. He didn’t agree with Ji Xiaoli’s proposal at all.

‘I will never sleep in the study room.’

Ji Xiaoli, who was tired all over, leaned on the edge of the sofa and gasped. She wanted to accuse Qin Zhenyang, but when she thought of Qin Zhenyang’s trick, she was really helpless to him.

“Do you want me to sleep in my study?” Qin Zhenyang blinked, and his eyes flashed innocent expression.

Ji Xiaoli did not answer him. But she reached out again to pinch Qin Zhenyang’s waist. Qin Zhenyang yelled, “Wife, are you going to murder your husband? This is not allowed…”

Huahua in the corner barked a few times, and it seemed to be really angry. Its little beauty seemed to have been bullied just now, and it really wanted to save the beauty. However, it did not have much strength. It was not the opponent of this evil man… So it could only let these things happen…

But to its surprise, things turned upside down. ‘How did the little beauty make up with the evil man again? Didn’t they fight just now? This is really unscientific.’

Especially when hearing Qin Zhenyang’s scream, Huahua was really scared, ‘Does the little beauty have an assassin’s mace? Has the evil man been punished?’

Huahua didn’t understand the human world. But a long time later, when a female cat showed up here, it felt desperate, ‘It turns out that the female tiger is the most terrible creature.’

Before dinner, Qin Zhenyang received a call. This call was not from his parents, otherwise he would not be in such a good mood. As he was in a good mood, he ate four bowls of rice.

“Don’t you think you eat a little bit too much?”

Qin Zhenyang never thought he ate too much, and he picked his eyebrows and said, “Did I just eat a lot? But only when I have enough food can I have the strength to do other things. It’s only six o’clock. We’ll have plenty of time to do some digestive exercises later…”

As for the campaign to help digestion, Ji Xiaoli declined to comment. Because no one could understand Qin Zhenyang better than she did.

“We won’t eat at home tomorrow night. Just now, the eldest young master of Qi family called me. He suggested that we should get together tomorrow night. At that time, I will take you to this party… In addition to the eldest young master of the Qi family, the people who attends the party includes the third young master of the Qi family, the second young master of the Wei family, and several good friends. In the future, if I’m not at home, if you need any help, you can ask them to help you.”

Qin Zhenyang thought that his friends were curious about his wife, ‘Since they are curious about Ji Xiaoli, I will take her to meet these friends…’

The second young master of the Wei family and Tao Xiaoning left a good impression on Ji Xiaoli. So she agreed to Qin Zhenyang’s request.

The party was hosted by the eldest master of Qi family. The place where they met was the Banquet Guest House. Ji Xiaoli and Qin Zhenyang had been to this place before. The owner of the Banquet Guest House was Wei Lin. Ji Xiaoli wondered why they always had dinner at the Banquet Guest House. What she didn’t know was that the Banquet Guest House was a well-known senior club in the capital. Only those who had a certain status were qualified to entertain guests in the Banquet Guest House.

The people who came to eat here were all powerful people in the capital. Qi Jinyun was the eldest young master of Qi family in the capital. He was absolutely qualified to entertain guests in the Banquet Guest House.

When Ji Xiaoli arrived at the Banquet Guest House, she also met her high school classmate, Li Qian. Li Qian helped Ji Xiaoli last time, and Qin Zhenyang mentioned it to Wei Lin. So Wei Lin gave Li Xi a chance to get promoted.

Li Qian used to be a waiter, but now she was the assistant manager of the housekeeping department. This really saved her from fighting for a few years.

Li Qian got the promotion because of Ji Xiaoli. So this time, after she saw Ji Xiaoli, she was extremely attentive.
