Ji Yueze"s warm palm held Bai Yiyan"s small hand tightly. This cold winter night gave her a sense of security, and when she stopped and wanted to retreat, Ji Yueze couldn"t help but ask in a low voice: "Don"t tell me you want to escape again? Take my child with you. Where else can you escape to other than staying by my side? "
The humorous and dangerous words made Bai Yiyan"s nerves flinch. She immediately looked him in the eye and said, "I won"t run anymore!"
"Then why don"t you look up? Are you going to keep your head down and not look at anyone else? " the man asked with a chuckle.
As if waking up from a dream, Bai Yiyan realized how timid she had been along the way.
Bai Yiyan sighed in her heart. Not only did she represent her image now, she also wanted to maintain Ji Yueze"s image. She should be a bit more generous.
Only then did Bai Yiyan raise her head and follow Ji Yueze.
Many people squeezed over to greet Ji Yueze and asked about his relations.h.i.+p with Bai Yiyan. Ji Yueze directly introduced her as his wife. Bai Yiyan heard the clear laughter of men and gentle words, and her heart was indescribably happy and peaceful.
Just as Bai Yiyan was smiling as she faced the guests, she suddenly felt a knife stab her from the corner of her eye. Instinctively, she raised her leg and kicked away the a.s.sailant.
"b.i.t.c.h, you ruined my plans!" When that man wanted to use the toasts, Ji Yueze wasn"t prepared to kill him. However, he didn"t expect the woman beside him to be so sensitive. Ji Yueze kicked away the knife the moment he took it out from his pocket.
Ji Yueze was shocked. He saw the man get up from the ground and stab towards him.
Before Ji Yueze could react, he felt that the gla.s.s of wine in his hand was quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed away by a small hand. The next second, she used the force of her hand to throw the gla.s.s of wine towards the man"s face and eyes.
"Ah ??" My eyes! " The man failed once again. Not only that, the heat from the alcohol and the sharpness of the gla.s.s made his eyes bloodshot. He lost the chance to stab Ji Yueze again. He rolled on the ground and screamed miserably.
Everyone present was shocked, they never thought that someone would dare to a.s.sa.s.sinate Ji Yueze. Even more so, they never thought that the woman beside him was so powerful, seemingly weak, and still pregnant.
Bai Yiyan"s previous reaction was entirely instinctual. Now that she saw that the bad guy"s eyes were hurt by her, she suddenly felt a little embarra.s.sed. Did everyone feel that she was too violent?
However, when she thought about how dangerous the man beside her was, she couldn"t care less about her ident.i.ty as a pregnant woman. Her more than ten years of training hadn"t been in vain.
Immediately, the guards came over to control the situation. Ji Yueze was shocked, but he was more worried about the woman beside him. He asked anxiously: "Xiao Yan, are you alright? Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise, the person who was injured would be me."
"I"m fine, I won"t let you get hurt!" A sliver of embarra.s.sment appeared on Bai Yiyan"s face.
The female celebrities who had looked down on Bai Yiyan earlier were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Soon after, they all had a trace of realization in their hearts. They liked that man who was as dazzling as the sun, but it was a pity that they couldn"t beat the pregnant woman beside him.
"What"s wrong, what"s wrong? What happened? " Yang Siyu pulled Chen Jiajia along as she dashed over, only to see that everyone was panicking.
"Xiao Yan, are you alright?" The first thing Yang Siyu did was take care of the pregnant woman.
"I"m fine. Someone tried to hurt Ji Yueze just now, but he was taken away!" Bai Yiyan shook her head and smiled.
"Oh my G.o.d, Ji Yueze. What grudge do you have with him? He actually sent someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate you?" Yang Siyu was also frightened to the point that her face turned pale.
Chen Jiajia immediately tugged on her sleeve, telling her not to ask such a question in public.
Yang Siyu understood immediately and said angrily, "This is too outrageous!"
Ji Yueze took the microphone handed over by the host on the side and said in a clear and cold tone, "It seems that someone took advantage of today"s di
er and wanted to harm me, the person has already been taken away, and I believe that the person behind the scenes is also here to watch a good show. Either, you stand out and admit your crime, or you wait for the police to interrogate you.
The moment Ji Yueze finished his words, the surroundings became deathly silent.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They were stu
ed by the sudden danger.
Just then, a few middle-aged men put down the wine gla.s.ses in their hands and stood in the center area with their heads behind their backs.
One of them kneeled down first, feeling guilty and frightened: "Boss Ji, I"m sorry, it was all because of the benefits that fooled us that we found that person to kill you. Please let us go, we know we were wrong."
The rest of the group of people were also frightened to the point that their legs went limp. After knowing that the matter had been exposed, the results would definitely be disastrous.
Ji Yueze looked at his trusted subordinates and let out a sneer.
"Why you?" Ji Yueze Jun was furious.
These people were hired by him when he started the company, and they were like his mentors to Ji Yueze. Step by step, they taught him how to reach today"s level, and then watched him grow from an unknown brat into today"s executive of the company.
"Boss Ji, I"m sorry, we have nothing to say!" The men hung their heads.
I know why you want to kill me, because I"ve touched your interests. Before, besides the compensation and benefits of the company, you were able to earn tens of millions of dollars every year, but now, because of my reforms, you"ve lost all of these benefits, so you hate me, but don"t forget, I gave you a chance, a platform, and you"re the ones who can make a profit. You"re too greedy, so don"t think that I don"t know what you"re doing behind your backs. Ji Yueze mocked them coldly while glaring at them mercilessly.
The middle-aged men"s faces turned pale. It was too late for regret.
Originally, it was a lively and happy night, but because of this killing intent, it ended.
Ji Yueze sat on a chair in the empty banquet hall. He raised his head to look at the beautifully decorated stage. The lights around him were still dazzling, but they had all disappeared.
Bai Yiyan walked over to his side and placed her hand on his shoulder. She asked in a low voice, "Are you sad?"
"Sometimes, the human heart is truly terrifying. During a meeting at noon, they would even smile at me, but at night, they would send people to kill me!" Ji Yueze began to doubt life. Perhaps this was the only way for him to experience maturity. Life was originally cruel, but some people were born with a pair of kind eyes and only loved to look at good causes.
"Don"t think too much into it, they should be regretting it!" Bai Yiyan could tell that the men were really scared. She didn"t expect the consequences to be so serious.
"Does this mean that every decision that life makes must not be made to regret?" Ji Yueze stood up and walked towards her. "Xiao Yan, you saved my life today. I can"t think of any other way to repay you besides marrying you!"
"Will you regret making this decision?" Bai Yiyan learned from experience and stared at him with a pair of gentle eyes.
Ji Yueze used his actions to prove that he would not regret anything.
Bai Yiyan"s body swayed slightly as her lips burned. In the next second, the man gently hugged her.
Bai Yiyan was slightly breathless from the kiss, but she was glad. The pain and suffering she had experienced during her training probably saved his life for this very moment. However, the image of her crying every day as she practiced her martial arts was still fresh in her mind.
"Sigh, looks like I"ll have to be a good person in the future. Otherwise, if I get taught a lesson by you, I won"t be able to get out of bed for half a month in ten days."
"You ?? You laugh at me? " Indeed, what Bai Yiyan was worried about had happened.
Do men not like tigers who show off their strength?
"Of course not, I like the way you beat people. It"s very cool and also very beautiful!" Ji Yueze could still imagine how smooth and beautiful she was when she s.n.a.t.c.hed the cup and threw it at him.
"Is that what you said?" If you get beaten by me in the future, you are not allowed to speak ill of me! " Bai Yiyan immediately became proud of herself.
