Even under the dark moonlight, everything was blurry, but Shen Nian still saw it clearly at once: who was the man in the driver's seat of the car if he wasn't the Quarter Banquet?
After getting along for more than a year, although Ji Yanli was indifferent to her, she could still recognize him at first sight.
Shen Nian raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner. I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for her.
The sudden appearance of the other party made her a little confused. She didn't know whether the other party did it on purpose or just happened to be passing by.
If you happen to be passing by, it would be a coincidence.
But if the other party did it on purpose, some people in Shen Nian felt that he was being sentimental.
While he was thinking, Ji Yanli's car stopped in front of Shen Nian. He opened the car door and looked at Shen Nian calmly.
"Xiao Nian, I'll take you home."
For some reason, Shen Nian felt that the other party's tone was a bit unfamiliar to him. It seemed that the other party had never spoken to him in such a... gentle tone.
The other party's tenderness not only did not make Shen Nian feel flattered, but had the opposite effect.
Almost instantly, Shen Nian suddenly became alert.
She looked at Ji Yanli coldly.
"What are you doing here at this late hour? How did you know that I came back late today?"
The banquet ceremony did not answer directly. He just smiled and asked.
"With the strength of my dignified Ji family, is it difficult to know your whereabouts?"
This time it was Shen Nian's turn to remain silent.
Because she knew what the other party said was right.
With their family's strength, if they really want to find out a person's whereabouts, it is too easy and easy to get there. They don't need to put in any special effort to find out successfully.
But now he was inquiring about his whereabouts, and eagerly drove over to pick him up. What was the purpose?
It's simply not necessary.
"Get in the car."
Ji Yanli spoke calmly, looking at Shen Nian with his narrow phoenix eyes.
Shen Nian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly, she felt dizzy.
A sudden feeling of powerlessness swept through Shen Nian's body.
She suddenly couldn't even stand steady.
No, I haven’t eaten for a day and I have hypoglycemia!
This was the thought that flashed through Chen Nian's mind when he fainted.
Just when he thought he was going to fall flat on his face, he suddenly fell into a generous and powerful embrace. The other person's palms hugged her waist tightly, and the cool scent of cedar lingered around her.
What followed was the voice of Ji Banli, which was no longer as calm as before, with a little tremor.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The other party's tone was visibly flustered.
Shen Nian thought that he had heard wrongly. How could the other party be so concerned about him?
However, before she could continue to think about it, an overwhelming feeling of dizziness swept over her, quickly occupying her entire consciousness.
Shen Nian fainted in Ji Yanli's arms.
When Shen Nian woke up again, it was already early morning.
She was lying on the hospital bed with an infusion tube tied to her hand. The fine morning sunlight shone into the ward, shaking her so much that she couldn't open her eyes.
Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly, a man's hoarse voice came from above his head.
"woke up?"
Shen Nian was stunned again. She turned her head with difficulty and saw clearly that Ji Yanli had been sitting on the edge of her bed. His obsidian eyes were staring at her, and there was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
Shen Nian had just woken up from a coma, and now he felt weak all over. He said softly "Hmm" and stopped talking.
"I fainted due to hypoglycemia. You were busy taking over the case yesterday and didn't eat all day. Xiaonian, I just asked someone to buy porridge, do you want to drink some first?"
She didn't know if it was Shen Nian's misunderstanding, but she always felt that there was a trace of lingering fear in the other person's tone.
Shen Nian felt that he must have thought too much.
How could the other party, Mr. Ji, be so frightened because of his fainting?
However, soon, Shen Nian heard Ji Yanli's question.
"Why are you so busy working and neglecting your body?"
Shen Nian chuckled.
"So, are you asking for help?"
Her tone at this time seemed to have angered the other party, and he snorted coldly. The hint of gentleness in her voice just now was gone.
"No."
Although it was just two words, Ji Yanli's tone was very stiff, as if he was telling a lie forcefully.
Shen Nian smiled.
"You don't need to take care of my life. After all, after divorce, both husband and wife need not to interfere with each other's lives, right?"
The banquet was silent for a moment and then spoke again.
"But I have many questions to ask you, you..."
He hesitated, but finally seemed to give in, and spoke again after considering his tone.
"Is it convenient for you to chat with me? Lawyer Shen."
When he said "Lawyer Shen", he had a deep meaning when he said it. Unfortunately, the other party didn't know that. He already knew some of the truth. He only thought that the other party called him that because he worked at Heshan Office, but he couldn't tell. What an anomaly.
So Shen Nian didn't take it to heart and just laughed off the other person's name.
She shook her head.
"I don't think you and I have anything to talk about, Mr. Ji."
The hand in the sleeve of the banquet was suddenly clenched.
Yet he persisted.
"Miss Shen, Lawyer Shen, I think we need to have a good talk."
This time, Shen Nian didn't even reply to him, but just protested with silence.
The banquet hesitated for a moment, and finally decided that since the other party was unwilling, it would be better not to pierce the window paper at this time.
After all, she had just woken up from a coma, so she couldn't push her too far.
Otherwise, it would be a bit like taking advantage of others.
There was a long silence in the ward, and for a long time after that, neither of the two people was willing to speak first to break the silence.
I don't know how long it took, but Ji Yanli seemed to sigh.
"Xiao Nian, if the work in the law firm is too hard, you can resign. The Ji family will have enough to support one more person."
Shen Nian still didn't answer.
In other words, silence was her answer.
Seeing that she was silent, Ji Yanli quickly changed his words.
"Of course, you are not required to be a full-time housewife. If you want to return to the workplace, you can choose to work in our Ji family's company. I have several suitable positions for you to choose from. Please consider it."
Shen Nian was silent, then suddenly chuckled.
"We've been married for more than a year, and you don't understand me at all."
"I feel more and more now that I was right about divorcing you."
"We're just not right for each other, and you just don't understand me."
The banquet ceremony was listened to by her, but for some reason, he was sitting in front of the hospital bed, inexplicably panicked.
"Shen Nian..."
