Xin Zaozao watched in the direction of Ji Baili’s taillights, standing still until they faded into the distance.

Ji Baili was right.

They were indeed engaged.

Originally, when the Xin Group wanted to bid for the Commercial Management Marine Drainage Project, Ji Baijian helped her without any hesitation. In the collaboration deal, the Ji Family fully funded the bid and even provided the bidding documents; the only condition was that she needed to get engaged to Ji Baili.

She agreed.

Without any hesitation.

In her eyes, she would accept any conditions as long as they helped her win the Xin Group.

The partnership was a snap decision.

Ji Baijian said that they should keep their engagement a secret for the time being until the right time came. It seemed he had his reasons.

Xin Zaozao nodded in agreement.

Although she and Ji Baili were in this relationship, they have never met privately after that. Even Ji Baijian didn’t arrange any meetings between them; they didn’t know each other well. From the few encounters she had with Ji Baili, she once suspected that he was not even aware of the arrangement, hence she never took the initiative with him.

Surprisingly.

He knew about it.

Her eyes moved, and she turned around to walk towards the villa.

The high society has many cases of obligatory marriages. Some people can cultivate their feelings in the end, like Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian. At one point, no one believed they were truly in love, but they ended up completely devoted to each other.

But many were not that lucky.

On the second floor.

On the balcony, a man was smoking.

His calm gaze watched her, observed her interaction with Ji Baili, observed long after Ji Baili had left, and only then did Xin Zaozao turn around and enter the villa.

His face was cold, and he took fierce drags from his cigarette.

“How much more are you going to smoke!” From inside the house came the voice of Wan Quan.

She emerged from the bathroom, freshly bathed.

Mu Cidian stubbed out his cigarette.

Seeing him, Wan Quan asked, “Why did you come to me so late?”

Mu Cidian walked into the room, looked at his mother, and said, “I’m kind of tired.”

“If you’re tired, go to bed,” Wan Quan said naturally. “Don’t you have to work tomorrow? It’S already late, go to sleep.”

Mu Cidian clarified, “I meant, I’m tired of taking revenge on Xin Zaozao.”

“Mu Cidian!” Wan Quan suddenly exploded in fury.

Her sudden agitation was undisguised.

Mu Cidian remained silent.

“Do you know what you’re saying?! Do you?! Have you forgotten how your father died?! ” Wan Quan spat out, “Mu Cidian, take back what you just said, I never want to hear it again in my life!”

“Xin He is already dead.” Mu Cidian said, pausing after every word, “The revenge you wanted has long been fulfilled!”

“Is that enough for you?!” Wan Quan shot back harshly, “All that I’ve suffered, Xin He dying so conveniently isn’t enough! It’s a shame he died too early, his only daughter should bear the consequences of his sins! Mu Cidian, do you like Xin Zaozao? Do you like this cheap woman?”

Mu Cidian didn’t answer, he merely said, “Xin Zaozao is innocent. What does her father’s guilt have anything to do with her?!”

“Who says it has nothing to do?! The debts of the father, the son shall pay. It’s only natural! ” Wan

Quan was overcome with agitated emotion, “She was fine before, if she hadn’t come back, if she had stayed away after Xin He died, if she had stayed away from the Xin Group, I could have let bygones be bygones, I could’ve considered that woman dead, but now! Not a chance! I won’t let Xin Zaozao strut around in front of me like this! Mu Cidian, she absolutely can’t!”

“The Xin Group rightfully belongs to Xin Zaozao.”

“Have you gone mad? Mu Cidian, how could the Xin Group belong to that cheap woman! If Xin He hadn’t incorporated your father’s assets back then, how could it have grown so big? The Xin Group belongs to us, to us! You must take it back, you must, even if it kills you!”

“I don’t want to.” Mu Cidian said, his tone resolute.

Wan Quan stared at him, her face grotesque with rage, her eyes momentarily bloodshot, her body shook with anger.

‘I don’t want to.’

All these years, all the blood, sweat, and tears, were they all in vain?!

No way.

In her rage, Wan Quan grabbed a crystal ball from the bedside table and hurled it at Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian didn’t move, and the next moment, blood started trickling down his forehead.

Wan Quan watched, indifferent.

Mu Cidian endured, indifferent.

The crystal ball shattered on the ground, causing a loud noise which alerted Xin Zaozao, who was about to return to her room.

She paused.

The sound seemed to come from Wan Quan’s room.

After hesitating, she finally went over.

She thought to herself, it would be good if Wan Quan died. It would be a blessing.

She stopped at the door to Wan Quan’s room.

The half-open door spilling light out into the hallway, she saw the furious Wan Quan and the seemingly calm Mu Cidian – his calm demeanor appeared ghastly. Blood trickled down from a cut on his forehead.

Xin Zaozao turned around and left.

So, the mother and son were having a quarrel.

And here she thought Wan Quan had committed suicide.

She casually returned to her room.

In her room, Wan Quan glared harshly at her son, “Mu Cidian, I never want to hear what you said today ever again!”

Mu Cidian continued to stare back at her intently.

He didn’t promise her anything.

“Get out!” Wan Quan roared with every ounce of her rage.

Mu Cidian remained stiff for a long time before he finally turned and left.

He knew, oh he was well aware, that this matter would be difficult for his mother to accept.

And him, he indeed was tired.

He headed to his room.

On his way, he passed by Xin Zaozao’s room.

He paused for a moment, but in the end, he left.

He returned to his room and lay down directly on the bed.

His forehead throbbed with pain, fresh blood was still flowing, but it was as if he didn’t care at all.

He was just staring at the ceiling.

Just staring.

Everything before his eyes gradually became blurred, increasingly blurred.

Night.

The profound night.

Under the same sky, if there is sadness, there must also be joy.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi sat in their wedding car and returned to the bridal suite.

Song Zhizhi had never been to the bridal suite before.

It was like a surprise.

The bridal suite was not a villa on the outskirts, but a house in the city center. It was on the top floor and was very spacious.

It had two floors, the upper floor housed a grand Sky Garden, which lead to their suite.

Luo Xiaolang had followed them in.

The elevator had private access, one floor per elevator, ensuring high privacy.

In the elevator, Ji Baijian pressed two floor buttons, “Xiaolang will stay on the floor below us.”

“Oh.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Song Zhizhi had no objections.

They had previously agreed that Xiaolang would not live with them temporarily.

The elevator arrived at Luo Xiaolang’s floor first.

Luo Xiaolang stepped out of the elevator.

Ji Baijian handed her the room card.

Luo Xiaolang took the room card and left.

And then… Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.

Tonight, it was their night.

Her heartbeat quickened slightly.

The elevator arrived on the top floor.

Ji Baijian led Song Zhizhi into the vast home.

In the massive duplex, Song Zhizhi felt at that moment, that living on separate floors would be plenty spacious for them and Xiaolang.

He led her into the hall.

The hall was large, probably over 150 square meters. There were no guest rooms, just a living room, an open kitchen, and an open fitness room. It seemed huge, like a banquet hall. Ji Baijian did not take Song Zhizhi on a tour, but rather led her to the second floor.

There was only one room on the second floor.

Their room.

The room was filled with their wedding photos. Above the room, the stars twinkled. It wasn’t an open roof design, but Ji Baijian had installed many fairy lights that looked like stars on the ceiling. Opposite the room was a floor-to-ceiling window, which opened up to a spacious sky garden. The garden was decorated like something out of a dream, and Song Zhizhi walked over to see twinkling lights creating a romantic atmosphere.

But before she had time to explore, Ji Baijian suddenly held her from behind.

She clung to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The night air was just right, a gentle breeze brushed past, fresh and comfortable.

But at this moment.

All her senses were focused on Ji Baijian.

He rested his head on hers.

He was really too tall. At this moment, Song Zhizhi took off her high heels and seemed excessively delicate and petite in his presence.

Indeed, she wasn’t that short.

“Go take a bath first.” Ji Baijian said. His voice was magnetically enchanting.

Song Zhizhi nodded.

Ji Baijian picked her up with ease.

Ji Baijian was strong, and Song Zhizhi felt that to him, she was as light as a feather.

He effortlessly placed her in the massive bathroom.

The bathtubs in the bathroom were all round, like miniature swimming pools. The bathroom was decorated lavishly, with a floor-length mirror right in front of the tub. The intelligent and versatile glass could even project movies. The decor was extravagant, different from both Ji Baijian’s usual preferences and Song Zhizhi’s taste.

Surprisingly, it looked very good.

She turned to look at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian filled the tub for her and then left.

The bathroom door was closed.

Song Zhizhi’s heart pounded.

She almost thought…he would join her…

In the end.

Ji Baijian, this guy, should be more conservative than her.

In the last life, the last life, when they were together, it was pitch black, apart from feeling, they knew nothing.

Her heartbeat accelerated.

Her face blushed incredibly.

So soon, she didn’t think it would be so soon.

When she was reborn, even though she took the initiative to express her love, she never thought that the two of them would be in a relationship so soon. After a few explicit signs, she was never truly ready for this moment.

She was nervous.

She thought she would be very natural after experiencing it once.

Wrong.

Because she had experienced it once, she was even more nervous at this moment.

She took a deep breath and pulled the zipper of her cheongsam.

Huh.

What kind of design is this?

Why won’t it unzip?

When she put it on, it was the staff who helped her. But when she thought about it, she felt that the staff was laughing mischievously at that time.

She gave up.

She walked to the bathroom door and opened it.

Ji Baijian was standing outside the door.

They looked at each other.

In the end, whose heartbeat was accelerating?

Ji Baijian’s voice was very low, “Just now, Baixin sent me a message saying that you couldn’t take off your clothes.”

“…” So it wasn’t her imagination.

“Turn around.” Ji Baijian indicated.

Song Zhizhi turned her back to him.

All Song Zhizhi could feel was Ji Baijian’s gaze on her.

Too hot.

For a long time.

Ji Baijian said, “I’ll wait for you outside.” “Hmm.”

Song Zhizhi entered the bathroom.

The bathroom door closed again.

Ji Baijian seemed to stand for a long time before going downstairs to the public bath.

Half an hour later.

Song Zhizhi, dressed in a bathrobe prepared by Ji Baijian, appeared in the room.

At that moment, the weak twinkling light in the room disappeared and turned into the normal brightness of the room. The brightness was very bright, as bright as daylight.

Ji Baijian had already closed the French window, and also the curtain.

In the huge room, Song Zhizhi suddenly felt that there were only the two of them left.

She was wearing a pink sleep robe; her skin was very white. At this moment, after coming out of the bath, she looked very tender.

Ji Baijian was wearing a dark blue sleep robe.

Obviously, it was the same style.

Obviously, it was couple’s homewear.

Ji Baijian at this moment was dressed properly. His upright figure made the sleep robe look even better.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Song Zhizhi’s blushing face.

He said, “Come here.”

Song Zhizhi walked over.

“Sit.”

Song Zhizhi sat next to him.

There was distance between them.

It wasn’t that Song Zhizhi didn’t dare to be close to him, but Ji Baijian had a small tray beside him.

Song Zhizhi looked at it in surprise.

“Although… um, I want to.” Ji Baijian’s voice deep, “but some steps can’t be skipped.”

Song Zhizhi still didn’t understand.

Ji Baijian picked up two wine glasses and gave her one.

Song Zhizhi took it.

“Cross-cupped wine.” Ji Baijian explained.

Song Zhizhi looked at him.

In this age, does this step really exist in getting married?

Ji Baijian didn’t explain, he just circled Song Zhizhi’s arm.

The distance between the two of them suddenly shortened.

Song Zhizhi’s heartbeat accelerated as she looked at Ji Baijian’s handsome face at close range.

He was also looking straight at her.

His eyes were like magic, she simply couldn’t divert her gaze from them.

Ji Baijian lifted his wrist and drank the wine in front of him.

Song Zhizhi also drank it.

Whew.

So spicy.

She thought it was just ordinary champagne; she didn’t expect it to be strong white wine.

Being a lightweight drinker, she felt like Ji Baijian was trying to get her drunk.

After finishing the wine.

Ji Baijian took the glass from her and put it on the tray in front of him.

He then picked up a small dish from the tray and said, “Eat these.”

“Dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds?” Song Zhizhi looked at the food on the plate and called out their names.

Ji Baijian nodded.

“Hoping for a son soon?” Song Zhizhi looked at him.

Ji Baijian nodded again, his face seeming a little red at that moment.

Song Zhizhi said, “Ji Baijian, is this really a step that exists nowadays?”

“It’S a tradition in our family.”

So the Ji Family is really traditional.

Fortunately, she is really a little hungry at the moment, so she didn’t think too much and just started eating.

Ji Baijian just watched her, as a small plate of food quickly disappeared in front of Song Zhizhi.

With a small smile on his face, he put down the small dish, took the tray and placed it on the sofa next to him, and then turned around.

The moment he turned around.

Song Zhizhi’s face turned red.

Ji Baijian’s face also turned red.

Ji Baijian asked, “Should I turn off the lights?”

No sh*t.

She nodded, nodding strongly.

Ji Baijian turned off the light.

The room became very dark.

The curtains were so effective that you couldn’t see your hand held out.

Song Zhizhi was scared, “Ji Baijian!” “I’m here.” Ji Baijian replied.

“It’s too dark.”

“Exactly.”

“No good.” Song Zhizhi felt insecure.

At that moment, the electric curtains opened.

The neon lights of the Sky Garden outside illuminated through the window, making it somewhat visible.

At that moment, she saw Ji Baijian standing in front of her, towering over her.

Towering over her, he suddenly bent down. “Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi called him.

“Hmm?”

“Let’s discuss something.” Song Zhizhi said.

“Hmm.”

“Can we not have a baby for now?” Song Zhizhi asked, her voice was very soft.

“Hmm?”

“For the time being.” Song Zhizhi said, “I feel insecure.” “Is that so?” Ji Baijian sat next to Song Zhizhi.

His tone was a bit strange.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t feel insecure with you, but the current situation in our family. I still don’t know who the mastermind is, I don’t know his goal, I don’t know what he wants to do. And now, I dare not have a baby, dare not give birth to a child. I wouldn’t dare to risk it until I’m absolutely confident that I can protect him. That would be irresponsible to him.”

“Hmm.” Ji Baijian agreed.

But his tone seemed a bit lost.

After all, someone had just eaten “hoping for a son soon” with her.

She reached out to him, “It’s good without a child.”

Ji Baijian did not answer.

“Isn’t it nice for us to have our world for a while? I don’t want to give birth to a little light bulb.” Song Zhizhi’s voice was very soft, softly whispering in his ear.

A simple sentence like that could make someone beam with joy.

Song Zhizhi felt a warmth in her heart.

Ji Baijian picked her up.

Then…

The room.

Without passion.

Because Song Zhizhi whispered in his ear, “Today my period arrived. Just started.”

“…” It seemed as if the world had stopped..
