C10 Debt Repayment

"Boss Li, look carefully. Is this person in my arms your Miss or something?"

Ji Liang's voice wasn't loud, but each of his words was filled with a biting cold that caused everyone who heard to tremble.

"Did you see it clearly?"

After saying this, Ji Liang's gaze swept over Duan An, causing him to slightly tremble.

"Director Ji, this is your fiancée …"

"Yes, Boss Li can see them clearly."

Ji Liang gently caressed my hair to comfort me.

"Xiao Li, don't be afraid … Whoever bullies you, I will tear them apart even if I have to go bankrupt. "

This was said to me, but to someone else. No matter what, Boss Li still had some power. He wasn't completely scared by Ji Liang, so he didn't give up and just sneered.

"Old Brother Ji is young and vigorous. It's one thing for this kind of woman to play with him, but it's not worth it for her to be angry over him. Shouldn't the one you care about be my peaceful niece?"

"Is that so?"

Ji Liang cast a cold glance at her.

"I am naturally not as experienced as Boss Li, no matter if it's a woman, business, or opportunistic …"

Ji Liang slowed down his speech. It was obvious that he had caught Boss Li in the nick of time. I felt slightly more at ease within my heart.

"Brother Ji, just for this woman …"

"I'll say it again, this is my fiancee. Is Boss Li blind or is she unable to see the coffin and won't cry?" "Don't tell me Li's CBD..."

"Old Brother Ji, it's because my eyes were blurry that I was able to recognize your fiancée wrongly …"

"Heh …"

Ji Liang rubbed my hair and laughed disdainfully.

"Blindness isn't an excuse to bite people."

"Brother Ji, it's all my fault. But today, there's too many people to talk with. Come to my house tomorrow and I'll give you a proper apology."

Boss Li interrupted Ji Liang with a slight urgency. I didn't even raise my eyes, but from the sound of it, he was completely terrified. There should be some weakness that fell into Ji Liang's hands. When he hit me, it was much louder than this.

"Ah Liang, Uncle Li also recognized the wrong person. You …"

"In the Duan Clan's seats, I, Ji's fiancee, would still have to bear with being bullied like this. This is An Ran! You clearly want to show her off to me?"

Ji Liang's voice was clearly mixed with a bit of disgust. This emotion must have come from a day. After being humiliated, Duan An had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

"Brother Ji, I'll make it up to you here. Just let me go. In the future, I …"

"I really am not a horse driver."

Ji Liang didn't budge an inch with each word he said. I thought he offended Boss Li for me that night and might be in the wrong, but I didn't think that his attitude would be so unyielding.

At this moment, Boss Li's face alternated between green and white. His muscles were quivering and his usual domineering attitude was completely gone. Judging from his demeanor that day, he didn't seem to be so useless.

"Alright!"

A deep and aged shout made the entire hall quieten in an instant. My heart quivered. Duan Danyi … He appeared?

As Ji Liang turned around, a woman who looked to be at most fifty years old and wearing a dark qipao entered his field of vision. Her posture was graceful and her charm was still there. It was very different from what I imagined her to be.

"Isn't it enough for you to calm down?" Duan Danyi spoke to Ji Liang first.

"Madam, do you know that I, as a girl, am too cowardly to even say a few words? How could I bear to be frightened like this?"

"Even if you're giving me face, let me handle this matter in the Duan Clan's territory. How about it?"

Their gazes met several times. Even if I didn't understand, I could still feel the undercurrents. I raised my hand and tugged at his clothes.

"Ji Liang, I'm fine. Let's go …"

"A girl who understands."

Duan Dan Yi covered his right hand that was covered in a large red pill to cover his lips. A pair of misty, flower-like eyes sized me up with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Ji Liang lowered his head and looked at me for a moment. Then, he nodded to Duan Danyi to show that he was done. Then, he pulled me into his arms and led me out of the banquet hall.

— —

"Isn't this act pretty good?"

As soon as I got on the car, I got out of Ji Liang's arms. There was no sign of timidity anymore.

However, he had relied on the Li Family's ancestral businesses to stay in the city of CBD. As early as half a year ago, Ji Liang had set his sights on Boss Li's fat body, but his foundation was still shallow. Thus, Ji Liang set his gaze on the wealthy and well-connected Duan Danyi.

In the morning, "I met" Duan An, I guessed that she would use my "black material" from before to attack me in public, so I cooperated with Ji Liang to put on this dog blood play that flaunts a deer as a horse. Like this, Boss Li publicly humiliated Ji Liang's fiancée, offending both Ji Liang and Duan Dan yi, and in the future, when Ji Liang takes care of Boss Li, it would be perfectly justified.

However, Ji Liang couldn't tell that there was a hint of happiness in the way things were going so smoothly.

"I'll give you Duan An's watch." I took out the diamond watch in my bag and handed it to Ji Liang.

Who would have thought that Ji Liang wouldn't be able to receive it? He took a glance at it and chuckled.

"You've really switched positions. Your hands are so quick, you didn't even think of being a pickpocket back then?"

"..." "What a joke, I'm so good-looking, yet I still have to find a rich person like you to support me."

I smacked my watch on Ji Liang's thigh in a bad mood and turned my head towards the window, ignoring him.

"This chess piece of mine is rather convenient, isn't it?"

I didn't look back, and I didn't know what Ji Liang's expression was when he heard this. It was only after a long time did he speak.

"Only by recovering your sense of smell can you transform from a pawn into a car."

Over the next month or so, I got used to buying and cooking at home, studying the nuances of each wine, even trying to figure out which ones matched which one.

I could already feel my sense of taste returning.

Tonight, Ji Liang returned a bit late. When I went downstairs, he was at the entrance changing his shoes.

"You're back?"

"Yes."

I looked at my phone. It was one o'clock in the morning.

"Here."

I took out a small cardboard box and handed it to Ji Liang. Since I had nothing to do, other than Ji Liang, there was no one else I could give it to.

Ji Liang was slightly surprised. He opened the box and saw the simple fumigation ball inside. He smiled faintly.

The bright yellow flame came in contact with the light gray spice, and then a tranquil and serene scent filled the air.

"If you have nothing better to do, just focus on practicing. If you don't like it, then just throw it away. If it's useful, then I still have a lot …"

I yawned.

"I'm going to bed."

Just as I was about to leave, he caught me by the wrist and pulled me into his arms.

I woke up a little bit, and a faint fragrance seeped into my nostrils.

"Are you poisoned?"

I looked up at Ji Liang, dizzy and my eyes misty.

"Guess."

"Red Poison …" That woman is mysterious, wild, and extremely emotional and irresistible. How did you manage to control her? "

I bravely poked Ji Liang's chin with the aid of the alcohol. This kind of perfume has a strong smell. If two people really were fighting to the death, then the smell on Ji Liang's body wouldn't be so light.

Thinking about how that woman was so scheming, yet was unable to achieve anything, the corners of my mouth curled up in an indescribable happiness.

"Mm …" Suddenly, a thin, slightly cold lip covered my lips … I resisted instinctively, then gave up.

The loose sweater was torn off his shoulders. I wrapped my arms around his back and whispered in his ear,

"This time, I owe you less, right?"
