The morning sun shone through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

A little tired, the person in bed rolled over, clutching the blanket, her eyes opening to meet a somewhat stiff pillow.

Hmm.

A face so close in front of her.

Song Zhizhi’s heart raced.

It took her a moment to realize that they had gotten married yesterday.

From now on, they would wake up together.

She looked at Ji Baijian.

She looked at Ji Baijian’s face in the morning light, it was so soft and gentle.

His usually imposing features were unusually gentle at this moment, without the distance and presence created by his usually slicked -back hair.

She just watched him.

He seemed to sleep well.

Quietly she turned to get up.

Just as she began to move, she was pulled back into his arms.

“Ji Baijian, are you pretending to sleep?” Song Zhizhi complained.

Ji Baijian chuckled softly.

“Let go. I need to use the bathroom.”

Ji Baijian reluctantly let go of her.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi’s face turned bright red.

She dashed to the bathroom with bare feet.

Inside the bathroom, sitting on the toilet, Song Zhizhi gazed at her flushed face in the mirror.

Due to an unforeseen incident involving bleeding last night, their wedding night was naturally disrupted. Ji Baijian didn’t touch her at all. She had thought Ji Baijian was sulking, as he had kept his distance the entire night. Now waking up, he was suddenly behaving this way.

Song Zhizhi sighed heavily.

She wondered why her menstrual cycle had to be so precise. She was perfectly well while taking her milk bath in the morning. Though she was a bit worried, she had been hoping for the best. But in the evening, while she was taking her bath, it came.

She had warned him of possibly regretting the aftermath of their wedding night when Ji Baijian successfully proposed.

Of course, he didn’t pay heed.

Now, he had got what he deserved.

After using the toilet and ensuring that she was fully dressed and secure, she went to wash up.

She saw two toothbrushes on the washbasin’s counter.

One pink and one blue.

She looked at the cups on the counter.

One pink, one blue.

She looked at the washcloths next to them.

One pink, one blue.

Everything was in pairs.

She felt a stirring in her heart.

She truly hadn’t known what marriage would entail apart from living with another person. Now, she felt warmth seeping from within.

After freshening up, she came out of the bathroom.

Outside the bedroom, Ji Baijian was no longer on the bed.

She looked around and then walked towards the Sky Garden outside.

It was 7 0’clock in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the air was fresh and cool.

Ji Baijian was sitting on a swing in the Sky Garden.

He was wearing his pajamas.

Even in pajamas, he looked handsome.

She walked over and sat next to him.

Ji Baijian naturally pulled her into his arms.

Song Zhizhi leaned against his shoulder.

She had a thought of wanting to sway quietly with him like this for a lifetime.

She asked, ‘Will it be uncomfortable?”

“Huh

“These few days.” Ji Baijian chose to be subtle.

Song Zhizhi naturally understood, “It’s okay, I don’t feel particularly uncomfortable, it’s just like a river of blook.

body seemed stiff for a moment.

He then slowly said, “You should have told me about your timings earlier.”

“Did you let me?” Song Zhizhi responded, a bit annoyed.

Who was the one who proposed in the first place?

Who was the one who proposed in front of so many media outlets, leaving her no room for rebuttal?

Ji Baijian’s lips twitched – he had nothing to say at that moment.

“How long does it last?” Ji Baijian asked.

“A week.”

Ji Baijian seemed to sigh.

Song Zhizhi laughed.

Her smiles were radiant in the morning sun, breathtakingly beautiful.

She was initially frustrated.

And last night was a regrettable incident.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt accomplished.

Turns out, there were things that would render Ji Baijian helpless.

She snuggled closer to Ji Baijian’s shoulder.

A sense of joy she had never felt before filled her.

The morning was so beautiful, it seemed like no one wanted to break the tranquility. The two of them leaned on each other, enjoying the beauty of nature and the leisure of the quiet sway.

A phone rang.

Ji Baijian’s brow furrowed slightly.

Song Zhizhi frowned too.

Who would be so insensitive as to call so early in the morning?

Ji Baijian stood up from the swing.

Song Zhizhi watched his tall figure until he walked back into the bedroom.

Song Zhizhi leaned against the swing, feeling a little annoyed.

She looked around at her surroundings.

The environment here was really nice. It offered a view of a large part of Jin City, and it was close to her workplace.

Ji Baijian must have chosen this place deliberately.

This wasn’t a new property, so he’d have to buy it from someone else and then it took time to refurbish it.

And Ji Baijian did all of it by himself.

The warmth filled her heart again.

She saw Ji Baijian’s figure emerge; he seemed even more imposing.

“We have to go back to the Ji’s villa,” Ji Baijian said.

“Didn’t dad just say last night that we should rest well?” Song Zhizhi was not pleased.

She hadn’t had enough time to be intimate with Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian smiled and tousled her hair lightly, “Be good.”

His tone was as if he was coaxing a child.

Song Zhizhi was not amused.

Ji Baijian picked Song Zhizhi up from the swing.

Ji Baijian carried Song Zhizhi into the dressing room, “Change.”

“Hmm.”

Ji Baijian turned to leave.

Song Zhizhi held on to his robe, “Aren’t you going to change?”

“Together,” Song Zhizhi said.

Her shyness was evident.

Ji Baijian had a beautiful smile on his face, “I refuse.”

“Let’s wait until your flow stops.”

Watching Ji Baijian’s retreating figure, Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but feel that he was getting back at her.

The bedroom door closed.

Ji Baijian’s expression grew somewhat serious.

When Song Zhizhi finished dressing up, Ji Baijian walked into the dressing room to change. He locked the door this time.

Once Song Zhizhi finished her makeup and Ji Baijian was all set, they left the house together.

In the elevator, Song Zhizhi asked, “Luo Xiaolang…”

“I’ve sent ner a message, sne?s waiting ror us m tne garage now.”

“How come you have her number?”

“I asked.”

“Oh.” Song Zhizhi felt quite foolish.

Isn’t it perfectly normal for Ji Baijian to have Luo Xiaolang’s phone number now that they’re married?

She felt a warm sensation in her chest again, inexplicably.

Would their lives intertwine from now on?

The elevator reached the garage.

Luo Xiaolang was indeed waiting for them in the car.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi got into the back seat.

Luo Xiaolang drove towards the Ji family villa.

Song Zhizhi was still somewhat nervous.

Returning to her marital home for the first time felt like a bride meeting her parents-in-law – quite intimidating.

They quickly reached their destination.

Ji Baijian opened the car door for her and led her into the villa.

Inside the villa, Ji Yunlei and Zhang Qingmei were seated on the living room sofa, along with Ji Baixin and Ji Baili.

Ji Baixin seemed fine, but Ji Baili was clearly just woken up.

Everyone indeed had a tiring day yesterday.

As Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi approached, both Ji Baixin and Ji Baili stood up and respectfully acknowledged them, “Big brother, sister-in-law.”

Ji Baijian nodded slightly.

Song Zhizhi blushed slightly.

Ji Baijian addressed his father and aunt, “Dad, Aunt.” Song Zhizhi quickly followed, “Dad, Aunt.”

Ji Yunlei nodded, his expression seemed somewhat serious.

Contrarily, Zhang Qingmei was more enthusiastic, “The newlyweds are back so early. You must have had a tough time.”

Song Zhizhi’s face turned even redder at that moment.

It really wasn’t that hard.

Nothing much happened, so why was it considered tough?

“Wu sister-in-law, quickly make tea for the young master and his wife.” Zhang Qingmei hurriedly ordered the servant.

Rites for the bride’s return home were still necessary.

Ji Baijian led Song Zhizhi to kneel in front of Ji Yunlei and Zhang Qingmei, took the tea cup from the servant’s hand, “Dad, Aunt, enjoy your tea.”

Both took the tea offered respectfully.

Ji Yunlei handed out two red envelopes, one each, saying, “May you have a child soon.”

Zhang Qingmei did the same and enthusiastically added, “Zhizhi, do bring prosperity to our Ji Family.”

Song Zhizhi felt the red envelope was burning hot.

She had no plans to have children any time soon.

They both rose from the ground.

“Baijian, come with me.” Ji Yunlei said directly.

Then he got up and went upstairs.

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian, “Wait here for me.”

“Ok.”

Watching Ji Baijian’s retreating figure, Song Zhizhi felt as if something was about to happen.

“Sister-in-law, please sit down. My brother will be back once he finishes talking with our dad. I know newlyweds hate to be separated, so my father won’t take too much of my brother’s time.” Ji Baili spoke out.

Song Zhizhi blushed, she turned to look at Ji Baili.

Zhang Qingmei slapped her own son, “This is your sister-in-law, how dare you joke around like this? Couldn’t you be a little more considerate?”

Ji Baili yelped in pain, “I was merely trying to lighten the mood for my sister-in-law, how could I know? I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m going to catch up on sleep.”

“Ji Baili, it’s this time of the day and you’re still catching up on sleep? It’s Monday, you should go to work!”

“I took the day off.” Ji Baili had already gone upstairs.

“This irresponsible child!” Zhang Qingmei cursed.

Ji Baixin also stood up from the sofa at this moment, “‘I’m off to work.”

“Have you eaten breakfast?” Zhang Qingmei asked Ji Baixin.

“I’ll eat on the way.”

Zhang Qingmei’s face darkened.

But she had to accompany Song Zhizhi, so she smiled and said, “Both of them never really give me peace of mind.”

Song Zhizhi smiled and didn’t know what to say.

Zhang Qingmei said, “I wish Baixin and Baili were more like Baijian. These two never fail to worry me.”

“Actually, both Baixin and Baili are pretty decent. Baixin has her own job, she’s very talented in design , and has already established a certain reputation in Jin City. She’s still young, and she’s bound to have a bright future. The same goes for Baili, who seems to lack ambition, but from what I observed during our research trip to Beixia Country, Baili actually has a strong insight and his own perspective. He has an overall view of things. If he pursues active development, he is sure to become a pillar of our society,” Song Zhizhi compliments.

It’s not just a compliment, it’s the truth.

To speak of Ji Baixin would be obvious, she has achieved her own little success, and the wedding this time displays her power. As for Ji Baili, Song Zhizhi did not know much about him before, and she always felt that given the Ji family dynamics, Ji Baili and Ji Baijian must have a bad relationship. It turns out she was wrong. The one time she got to know him better was the trip to Beixia Country. Ji Baili proved that he is not someone without ideas or capabilities, he just needs a good platform to show his abilities.

Ji Baijian is too competitive.

Ji Yunlei has always wanted Ji Baijian to inherit the Jihong Group.

Ji Baili hasn’t found a place where he can utilize his skills.

“Oh, you always say the sweetest things, Zhizhi,” Zhang Qingmei said, laughing. She continued to flatter Zhang Qingmei, “I know what my children are like, but hearing you talk so well about them makes me happy. I can only hope that my useless kids can take some of this pressure off of me.” “You really don’t need to worry about their development, ” Zhizhi responded.

Zhang Qingmei kept spewing sweet words, she had been seeking favor all her life. It wasn’t hard for her to please people.

Still, something doesn’t sit right with her.

Song Zhizhi comes from a good family background, has good character, is beautiful, and talented.

Such a good daughter-in-law, but she married Ji Baijian.

Her son Ji Baili could never match Ji Baijian’s capabilities.

How good it would be if Ji Baili could marry someone like Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi did not know what Zhang Qingmei was thinking, but anyway, they would not live together in the future, and getting along now was all that was needed.

Moreover, she always felt since Ji Baijian, Ji Baixin, and Ji Baili all got along well, this stepmother couldn’t be too bad.

With this thought, she let down her guard a little more.

At this moment.

The atmosphere in Ji Yunlei’s room had become considerably tense.

“Our M Country branch company’s acting CEO has suddenly disappeared. I just received a resignation report. I had my executive secretary call him, but his phone is off,” Ji Yunlei said.

Ji Baijian’s face turned slightly grim.

“The CEO resigning is not a big deal, we have plenty of talents. We can just hire another one. The problem is there is a bidding project going on over there. The profit rate is high, it would be a waste to lose it. Furthermore, this could tarnish Jihong Group’s reputation there. We have worked hard to secure the M Country market. Ifwe mess up this time, it will be a major setback; doing business there again would become very difficult. The market competition is too fierce now, ” Ji Yunlei worried.

Ji Baijian pressed his lips together and asked, “What’s your plan, Dad?”

His return was obviously not for a consultation.

Ji Yunlei sighed, “I can’t trust others with this. I know it’s your honeymoon, and it’s unfair to ask you to leave now. It might affect your marital relationship. But this is an emergency, I hope Song Zhizhi would understand.”

Ji Baijian hesitated a bit.

Seeing his son’s expression, Ji Yunlei added, “I have calculated roughly, it should be resolved within a week. Upon your return, I’ll let you take a good long vacation.”

Ji Baijian nodded, “Alright.”

Ji Yunlei let out a long sigh of relief.

From his childhood, Ji Yunlei has never been able to influence his son’s decisions. His son only did what he decided to do.

Fortunately, he was never at odds with him because everything his son wanted to do was in line with his own intentions. For example, although Ji Baijian had just joined the company, he had opened up many international markets for Jihong Group. The company’s place at the top of the three largest consortiums in Jin City was achieved through the recent expansion into overseas markets. So naturally, he would favor Ji Baijian in everything.

Regrettably, his son had always been unconventional. When he thought his son was interested in the family business, his son signaled back to him that he was not very enthusiastic about it.

Ji Yunlei sighed privately.

Nonetheless, Ji Baijian had agreed to him this time which indicated that he wasn’t completely indifferent to the family business.

“If nothing else, I’ll leave now.”

“I booked you a flight at 1+ p.m.,” Ji Yunlei said.

Ji Baijian look at his father.

“It’S urgent, ” Ji Yunlei excused himself as he deliberately opened his laptop on his desk, pretending to be busy with work.

Ji Baijian pressed his lips together and turned around to leave.

Ji Yunlei watched his son’s retreating figure, releasing a long sigh of relief.

Who would have thought, who could have imagined, him, the Chairman of the Jihong Group, would have to depend on his son’s mood to conduct his business.

Ji Baijian stepped out of Ji Yunlei’s study and walked downstairs.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi was still chatting with Zhang Qingmei, maintaining a good atmosphere.

The more Zhang Qingmei found out about Song Zhizhi, the more jealous she became.

Why couldn’t Ji Baili have married Song Zhizhi? Why does everything good always happen to Ji Baijian?

Feeling extremely unbalanced, she suddenly saw Ji Baijian and quickly got to her feet. “Baijian, you’ve come down.”

The amount of flattery could not be exaggerated.

Ji Baijian slightly nodded, then turned to Song Zhizhi and said, “Let’s go.”

“Aren’t you having lunch?” Zhang Qingmei quickly asked.

“No,” Ji Baijian succinctly replied.

Then, he left.

Zhang Qingmei stamped her foot.

Ji Baijian was so disrespectful of his elders, he would surely be struck by lightning!

And then all of the Ji family assets would belong to her son, Ji Baili!
