My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 336: 336: Fortunate to Meet, Never Leave or Abandon (3 more updates)

“Song Zhizhi!” Ji Baijian called her.

It was a long time since he had called her by her full name.

He was clearly exasperated at the moment.

Song Zhizhi turned around, looking at him provocatively.

“You dare to go out dressed like this.” Ji Baijian gritted his teeth.

Song Zhizhi laughed heartily, “Then, husband, how should I go out to find clothes?”

“Come here.” Ji Baijian ordered.

This rigidly conservative man.

Song Zhizhi pouted, but still walked towards him slowly.

Just as she got close to the bed.

Ji Baijian abruptly pulled Song Zhizhi back into his arms.

Song Zhizhi screamed.

The next second, even the bath towel fell apart…

“You old pervert, Ji Baijian!” Song Zhizhi yelled.

“Don’t move.” Ji Baijian’s complexion changed slightly.

“Let me go.” Song Zhizhi completely ignored him.

“If you keep this up, I will be disrespectful.” Ji Baijian said, panting slightly.

Song Zhizhi wanted to curse.

Why explain your brute behavior in such a civilized manner every time?!

If one didn’t know better, one might think she was being unreasonable.

Who knows… how indescribable Ji Baijian can be each time.

Song Zhizhi clung to her bath towel.

Ji Baijian just watched her.

Song Zhizhi asked, “Do you have any clothes or not?”

“Yes.” Ji Baijian replied, “I asked Yin Qin to bring me some.”

“Where?”

“In the closet.”

Song Zhizhi wrapped her bath towel around herself and got out of bed.

The moment she got off the bed.

Someone took a deep breath.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder…

With her face burning, Song Zhizhi went to the exclusive closet in the VIP ward.

Inside the closet, laid Ji Baijian’s clothes neatly. She picked out a large T-shirt, which could easily cover her down to midway down her thighs.

But…

What about her underwear?

She turned to look at Ji Baijian.

His gaze was fixated on her the whole time.

On her sexy body.

Song Zhizhi’s face reddened again.

She felt Ji Baijian’s gaze was … aggressive.

Ji Baijian was a typical, outwardly respectable scoundrel.

He seemed aloof and abstinent, but in reality… words betrayed him.

She said, “I’ll borrow your underwear.”

“Madam can help herself to whatever she wants, everything I have is yours, let alone worldly possessions.”

Sometimes, Song Zhizhi really was affected by Ji Baijian’s flirtatiousness.

She used to think he was inarticulate, indifferent, and aloof. Well, she was blind back then.

She took Ji Baijian’s T-shirt and underwear and went into the bathroom to change.

They were really big.

Ji Baijian’s boxers could easily serve as her shorts.

Putting on such intimate clothing felt weird.

She came out somewhat blushing.

Every time Song Zhizhi appeared in Ji Baijian’s field of vision, he would keep his eyes fixed on her.

She had no idea what was so fascinating.

Song Zhizhi curled up on the side bed next to Ji Baijian’s, wrapped in a blanket.

“Does madam not prefer to share the same bed with me?” Ji Baijian asked.

“No.” Song Zhizhi declined unequivocally.

“Alright then.” Ji Baijian conceded.

He lay on the bed, took off his oxygen mask and placed it over his mouth.

The room fell silent.

Song Zhizhi was surprisingly not sleepy.

Despite all the running around which exhausted her, she couldn’t seem to settle into sleep due to certain things.

The man beside her also seemed to be having trouble sleeping.

He tossed and turned restlessly.

“Ji Baijian, are you itchy all over? You’re making so much noise.” Song Zhizhi complained.

Already suffering from insomnia, he continued to make his presence known.

“I itch, can you help me scratch?”

Only a fool would believe you.

Song Zhizhi turned over to face the other way.

Finally, Ji Baijian stopped moving. He sighed.

He kept sighing.

Song Zhizhi couldn’t take it anymore.

She covered her ears, “Ji Baijian, what are you trying to do?”

“The oxygen mask is uncomfortable, I’m just taking deep breaths,” Ji Baijian explained innocently.

So it went.

Ji Baijian didn’t stop fidgeting, and Song Zhizhi finally reached her limit.

She got up from the bedside chair and climbed under Ji Baijian’s sheets.

Underneath the sheets, Ji Baijian immediately held her tight.

Song Zhizhi knew then, how crafty the old Ji was.

Congratulations on succeeding.

She lay quietly in his arms, their bodies pressed tightly together, allowing no gap for the air to slip through.

Song Zhizhi asked, “What kind of man is Jun Mingyu, Ji Baijian?”

Ji Baijian raised an eyebrow, “In the quiet of the night, it’s not suitable for a lady to think about other men.”

“Be serious.” Song Zhizhi was solemn.

Ji Baijian laughed, “Holding my fragrant wife, it’s hard to be serious.”

“Ji Baijian!”

Ji Baijian surrendered, he said, “You should know about Jun Mingyu’s background. He watched his mother driven to death by his father and seemingly righteous officials. What do you think he has become?”

“Does he want to take revenge?” Song Zhizhi asked the crucial question.

“Precisely,” Ji Baijian nodded. “After enduring all these years, why wouldn’t he seize the opportunity for revenge? More importantly, his refusal for revenge doesn’t mean that he can live peacefully. In his world, the only options are death or resistance. What would you choose if you were him?”

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

So that’s how it is.

She said, “Jun Mingyu has been trying to recruit you to work for him. Have you agreed?”

“Not yet,” Ji Baijian replied. “I don’t want to get involved in the power struggle of the official family. It was the Ye Family’s ancestral teaching that unless necessary, we shouldn’t associate too deeply with the official family. To participate in a power struggle is a major taboo! I do not want to defy the teachings of my ancestors.”

“I see.” Song Zhizhi nodded. “Whatever decision you make, I support you. However, I suspect that Qian Guanshu is in contact with someone from the official family, and that person is likely Jun Minghan.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Jun Mingyu told me that it was his brother, Jun Minghan, who mobilized the Nanyun police force. The people who attempted to kidnap me were Ye Wenhan and Guanshu. Hence, there must be collusion between them.”

“How did you know that it was Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan who wanted to kidnap you?”

“Ye Wenhan planted a mole by my side, Li Sheng. She has been passing information to Ye Wenhan.”

Ji Baijian nodded, seemingly deep in thought.

“What’s wrong?” Song Zhizhi asked, taken aback by his expression.

Ji Baijian smiled, “Nothing. It’s late; let’s go to sleep.”

Song Zhizhi felt like Ji Baijian was hiding something from her.

She closed her eyes and settled quietly in his arms.

Since Ji Baijian was unwilling to talk about it, she did not want to force him. She believed that when the time came, he would naturally tell her.

All she needed to know was that Ji Baijian wouldn’t harm her or her family.

The room became quiet.

Song Zhizhi thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but surprisingly, she fell asleep in Ji Baijian’s arms.

But Ji Baijian was genuinely awake.

The room was always lit. He watched Song Zhizhi, watching her fair face, watching her steady breathing.

His fingers gently brushed her cheek.

The reason he didn’t answer Song Zhizhi’s question earlier was that he had discovered that her father, Song Shan’s superior, was likely to be Jun Minghan.

This meant that Song Shan had been used all this time.

He was sure they had promised to make Song Shan the head of Commercial Management, and yet Jun Minghan had been colluding with Qian Guanshu all along. Song Shan was completely expendable to them.

Well then.

At least this could make Song Shan realize the insincerity of the other party and hopefully, end his delusions!

His gaze remained fixed on Song Zhizhi.

He leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss on her lips.

He whispered in her ear, “In this life, I promise that I will never let you down.”

Song Zhizhi stirred.

Her white arm peeked out from the covers.

She rolled over, tucking her head comfortably into the crook of Ji Baijian’s neck, with her small hand resting on his chest.

A smirk played on Ji Baijian’s lips.

In this lifetime, there’s only one thing I’ve ever deceived you about.

Indeed, a long time ago, when her mother died, when she cried in his arms. That was the first time he ever felt something for a woman other than his own mother. He could hear his heart pounding, each beat was powerful.

It was only then that he realized how simple it was to love someone.

Then, after growing up in different circumstances, and the sudden meeting and acquaintance, he understood how difficult it was to forget someone.

Therefore…

If he was fortunate enough to meet her in this lifetime, he would stay with her till the end!
