Even though Ji Yanli had never touched a woman other than Shen Nian, he knew that this was not normal.
I have been married to Shen Nian for so long, but I don't even know what she likes to eat.
For a moment, the injustice in Ji Yanli's heart began to waver.
Have you really cared about Shen Nian?
Ji Yanli looked at Shen Nian in trance, slightly lost in thought.
Could it be that I had really wronged Shen Nian? How much grievance had the other party suffered during their marriage to me?
At this time, I couldn’t tell what I felt about the quarterly banquet ceremony.
He only felt that his mood was complicated.
In my heart, I actually looked down on Qi Shengwen, feeling that Qi Shengwen was trying to get between them. But even Qi Shengwen knew what Shen Nian liked to eat.
And what about yourself?
The banquet ceremony picked up a chopstick of okra in front of him with complicated emotions and placed it next to Shen Nian's bowl.
"You eat too."
The banquet ceremony said in a muffled voice.
Shen Nian looked at the okra in the bowl and was slightly startled.
The atmosphere at the table fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
Finally, it was Qi Shengwen who broke the silence. He looked at Ji Yanli with a half-smile, and his tone was a little subtle for some reason.
"Mr. Ji doesn't even know that his wife is allergic to okra?"
Ji Yanli was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and met Shen Nian's clear eyes.
A flash of guilt flashed across his face.
"Sorry, I don't know."
The banquet ceremony is rarely so humble to a person, and his behavior has always been vigorous and resolute.
However, at this moment, an exception was made for Shen Nian again.
Shen Nian smiled softly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
"What's the matter? Mr. Ji and I don't have much contact and are not familiar with each other. I don't know if it's normal."
Shen Nian curled up the corners of his mouth mockingly, with a distant look in his eyes.
I should have given up hope on the quarterly banquet a long time ago, right?
He could bring a bouquet of white lilies specially for Zhou Xiaojing, symbolizing the close connection between hearts, but he didn't even know that he was allergic to okra.
Sure enough, when a man doesn't love a woman, he can be more ruthless than anyone else.
She understood that Ji Yanli was not careless. He would also show a careful and considerate side to Zhou Xiaojing, but he would never care about her Shen Nian.
The banquet was silent for a moment, and he just silently put the okra in Shen Nian's bowl back into his own bowl.
Then he got kicked by Gu Xiangqin again.
Gu Xiangqin looked on with a look of hatred.
If she were a man, she would be eager to fight on behalf of her son, but unfortunately she was not, so she could only scold this unreliable brat a few times in her heart.
Qi Shengwen did not forget to go to the fire road.
"You are both married, and he still doesn't know that you are allergic to okra? I'm not telling you, Mr. Ji, you are too incompetent as a husband. You don't know much more than my friend, Miss Shen."
These few words struck a chord in Shen Nian's mind.
Shen Nian suddenly felt that the lamb meat on the plate in front of him was mixed with a milky smell and went straight to his nose.
She obviously liked mutton before, but at this moment, she felt disgusted by the smell of mutton in front of her.
Shen Nian bit her lower lip and barely held back.
But the fishy smell of mutton was still coming to her nose.
Shen Nian finally couldn't suppress the nausea surging in her heart. She straightened up with a pale face, covered her mouth and whispered something.
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I need to go to the bathroom."
Ji Yanli and Qi Shengwen straightened up at the same time.
"I send you?"
The two said in unison.
Shen Nian shook his head quickly and ran to the bathroom.
This time, the reaction was more intense than before. It was almost as if he was vomiting everything he had just eaten.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Nian stood up straight while holding on to the bathroom sink. His face was pale and his body was shaky.
She held onto the pool and waited for a long time before she regained her composure. Then she pressed her lower abdomen with a wry smile on her face.
My child, you are really good at teasing, and you really know how to pick the right time when you are teasing others.
She raised her head, looked at her face in the mirror, and found that she was still a little pale. She dug out her briefcase to find a lipstick to replenish her color, but her search was fruitless.
Shen Nian had no choice but to close her bag and leave the bathroom.
The moment he pushed open the bathroom door, Shen Nian saw Ji Yanli standing at the door.
She was slightly startled and subconsciously took a few steps back, looking defensive.
"How long have you been waiting outside?"
The banquet ceremony frowned.
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."
Can he say that he has been waiting outside?
Of course not.
Shen Nian walked past him with a cold face.
Unexpectedly, the moment he passed by Ji Banli, he was supported by a pair of generous and powerful hands on his waist.
The cool, dry scent of cedar lingered around her.
Shen Nian was distracted for a moment.
However, she quickly reacted and straightened her body immediately, like a stressed cat.
Shen Nian stretched out his hand to push the other person away, but found that he had no strength because he had just vomited.
She was angry and anxious, and a faint blush appeared on her pale cheeks because of her anger.
"Quarterly Banquet, what are you doing?!"
She scolded the quarterly feast.
Ji Yanli had a straight face and did not withdraw his hand movements at all. He just stared at Shen Nian's eyes, as if not letting go of any of her subtle expressions or movements.
Qi Banli asked.
"Shen Nian, what's wrong with you? I also want to ask you this question."
Shen Nian was so angry that he laughed.
"Mr. Ji, this is none of your business, so stay out of it."
The quarterly banquet ceremony was unmoved at all.
"You're fine, why did you run to the toilet and throw up?"
Anger welled up in Shen Nian's heart. Thinking of the bouquet of white lilies in the car, she felt even more aggrieved. She couldn't help but blurt it out.
"You made me sick and vomited, okay?"
The moment the words blurted out, Shen Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
However, when she reacted, she clearly saw a look of hurt in Ji Yanli's eyes.
Shen Nian blinked, and for a moment she almost thought it was her imagination.
Ji Yanli didn't even have the slightest emotion towards him, so how could he be hurt by his words?
But just now...
The injury in Ji Yanli's eyes just now was so real.
Shen Nian seemed convinced that he had seen it.
Ji Yanli slowly let go of his hand and lowered his eyes.
He hid the fleeting emotion just now very well. At this time, his eyes were dim and unclear, making it difficult for people to understand his true inner thoughts.
"Sorry, Miss Shen, I'm rude."
Shen Nian didn't answer, she turned and walked towards the living room.
For some reason, the moment Ji Yanli called out "Miss Shen", Shen Nian suddenly felt panicked.
Everyone is an adult, how could she not hear the sudden alienation in Ji Yanli's words?
It's just strange that I have been alienating Ji Yanli and hoping that the other party will alienate me, but just now, I feel so uncomfortable.
