The trip in Ireland was scheduled for one week.

Designed to keep guests entertained.

But on the third day, Ji Zhixiu needed to return to China due to company emergencies.

Jiang Mian thought for a while and decided to go back with him, leaving the remaining guests to Ye Yi.

Ye Yi chuckled, feeling that his head hurt even more after drinking too much with Lu Cong last night, "You two are really good at it."

Ji Zhixiu felt a rare embarrassment. He looked at Yeyi, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying in a serious tone, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yeyi stiffened, put his hands into his pockets uncomfortably, and said, "Come on, you two should leave quickly."

On the way back.

Jiang Mian leaned on Ji Zhixiu's shoulder, "Have you noticed that you are becoming more and more different towards Ye Yi?"

"What's different?"

"Your attitude towards him." Jiang Mian smiled, "You used to treat him like a stranger and turned a blind eye to him, but then you changed."

Ji Zhixiu typed the document with one hand, his expression unchanged, "Is there any?"

Jiang Mian pouted, "You two brothers are equally tough-talking."

She pulled down the brim of her hat to block the sunlight outside the window, "I'm sleeping, don't disturb me!"

…

After the wedding, it’s almost New Year’s Eve.

As far as Ji Zhixiu is concerned, he still has no time to relax.

As far as Jiang Mian is concerned, there is no difference.

Apart from reading some scripts sent to her by Sister Ning, she spent the whole day eating and drinking, which was very relaxing.

Until that night, Ji Zhixiu came back with a drunken face.

Jiang Mian knew that today was their company's annual meeting.

She was pregnant and was sensitive to these smells. Ji Zhixiu took a bath downstairs before coming up. Unexpectedly, Jiang Mian still smelled it.

Ji Zhixiu stood in front of the bed and frowned, "How about I go to the guest room to sleep tonight."

Jiang Mian didn't say anything, but took out the perfume from the drawer and sprayed it on him, "Okay."

Ji Zhixiu breathed a sigh of relief. Of course he didn't want to be separated from Jiang Mian.

But when the two of them hugged each other, she still smelled a scent on Ji Zhixiu that didn't belong to her.

It's a fresh citrus tone, very light.

Jiang Mian buried herself in his arms, her voice calm but with two added concerns, “Who did you drink so much with at night?"

"Mr. Cheng, the others, and the department manager of the company." Ji Zhixiu kissed her forehead, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't there any women?" she asked.

"Yes," Ji Zhixiu paused, "Fang Ying."

When he mentioned it, Jiang Mian remembered that this was the substitute he had found for her.

Later, due to various reasons, the two did not have much contact.

"I gave her a sum of money to terminate the contract, and I asked Fan Cheng to continue looking for a new substitute."

Ji Zhixiu didn't want to say it at first, but now that she asked, he simply said it.

Jiang Mian said tiredly, “Why?"

"She's not satisfied that you rested for too long and affected her work."

Jiang Mian blinked, unable to react, "It affects her work? Isn't her work a substitute for me? I'm resting, so won't you give her less money as well?"

"People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. Forget about her." Ji Zhixiu reached out and turned off the light.

The room fell into darkness, so Jiang Mian missed the flash of disgust in his eyes when he mentioned Fang Ying.

Early the next morning, the two went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

After checking that everything was normal, Jiang Mian wrapped himself up and waited for Ji Zhixiu to drive over.

When she looked up, she saw Fang Ying standing in front of her.

The face that looked similar to hers was a little more anxious, but a little less Jiang Mian's temperament.

She grabbed Jiang Mian and said urgently, “Jiang Mian! I want to talk to you!"

Jiang Mian's belly slowly furrowed, and she whispered softly, “Let go, we can talk slowly."

Fang Ying looked around and said, "Then you come with me!"

Jiang Mian nodded, "Okay."

The two sat down in the cafe next to the hospital.

Ji Zhixiu called several times, and Jiang Mian replied with a message saying he was safe.

Then she raised her head, just as the waiter asked her what she wanted.

"Hot orange juice," she said calmly, then looked at Fang Ying, "Now you can say whatever you want."

Fang Ying's expression was tangled and serious. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I'm sorry for you, Jiang Mian, but I still want to say that between me and Mr. Ji, what should have happened has happened, and what should not have happened has also happened."

Jiang Mian almost spit out a mouthful of orange juice. She covered up her gaffe, "What do you mean, something that shouldn't happen happened?"

Fang Ying silently apologized to her in his heart, then closed his eyes and said hard, "It's just...it's just that I will be drunk in my later years, and Mr. Ji will sleep with me!"

Jiang Mian nodded, with no emotions visible on his face, "So?"

Fang Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't get angry, and then begged, “Jiang Mian, Sister Mian, I hope you can let me stay with Mr. Ji. Please! Anyway, you are pregnant during this time. I can't help Mr. Ji, you and I look so similar. I don't mind Mr. Ji using me as a substitute... When the time comes, I will leave him on my own, okay?"

Jiang Mian held his chin with one hand and wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "Why did you come to me? Didn't you go to see Mr. Ji?"

Fang Ying looked embarrassed, "Mr. Ji asked me to leave. But I know that he was afraid that you would know, so he let me go. This was also to protect me."

Jiang Mian nodded again, and then said, “So you think that as long as I nod, you can stay with him?"

"Yes! Don't worry, I won't compete with you for the season boss! Please... just let me stay!" She begged, as if Jiang Mian was a bad person with heinous crimes.

Jiang Mian chuckled, "I'm sorry I can't promise you."

Fang Ying's face changed, "Why? Why are you so selfish? There are many women out there like Mr. Ji, who has status and status, but he cares about your feelings. Why can't you think about it for him?" You are pregnant! Do you still want to occupy him? "

Jiang Mian was not annoyed, but looked at her, and his raised tone implied a sharp tone, “Did you really have sex?"

Fang Ying's body froze slightly.

Before she could answer, Jiang Mian continued, “You know the truth better than I do. I just want to say that even if I ask you to stay, he won't agree. Don't have wishful thinking."

After saying that, Jiang Mian dropped the two hundred yuan to pay the bill, got up and walked out the door.

"Why?!" Fang Ying looked at her back, stood up suddenly, and asked, expressing his unwillingness.

"Because..." Jiang Mian looked back and smiled sweetly. The warm sunshine outside the window made her face pure and flawless, "He loves me."

On the way back.

The atmosphere in the car was dull.

Jiang Mian stuffed a plum into his mouth, coughed, and then said sweetly, “Hubby, do you want to eat it?"

"I won't eat." The man's jawline tightened and he refused completely.

"Honey, are you thirsty?"

"Not thirsty."

Jiang Mian was annoyed, "Ji Zhixiu, I'm not angry yet. You haven't told me the truth yourself. Why are you so arrogant to me?"

Ji Zhixiu pinched his eyebrows and explained helplessly, “These are two different things. If you follow her out, what if she does something to you? I will be worried if I am not by your side."

Jiang Mian's eyes turned red and he turned his head away, making it clear that he didn't want to hear it.

She knew she was a little emotional, but clearly couldn't help it.

Ji Zhixiu sighed lowly and put his arm around her shoulders, "Wife."

Jiang Mian ignored it.

Ji Zhixiu continued, “I didn't tell you because I didn't want to dirty your ears. She toasted me at the annual meeting and said some things that I shouldn't have said. I asked her to take the money and leave, but I didn't expect that she would find you. "

Speaking of this, he pursed his thin lips slightly and his face became serious.

If something happened to Jiang Mian because of Fang Ying, he would never let her go.

Jiang Mian ignored him and just played with his phone.

Ji Zhixiu said helplessly, "I was wrong. I promise to tell you next time. Wife, I will never have second thoughts about you."

Jiang Mian ignored him and didn't say a word to him when he got home.

When Xiaobai saw them coming back, he quickly handed over the package, “President, this is from Mr. Lu of Hong Kong City. I have called my wife to open it."

Ji Zhixiu stood still, "Lu Yunshen?"

He had no interaction with Lu Yunshen, except for the time in Hong Kong City, but they had never had a direct confrontation.

Xiaobai, “Yes, he said it was to congratulate the president and his wife on their wedding."

"Bring it to the living room."

"good."

When Jiang Mian returned home and sat on the sofa, Ji Zhixiu asked her, "Do you want to dismantle it?"

Jiang Mian didn't want to move, “Tear it down."

Ji Zhixiu opened the package and showed it to her.

There is only a yellow paper peace charm inside, and instructions on how to use it are also given.

The two said in unison, “This is from Qin Xiaoyan."

But Ji Zhixiu thought more about it than she did. The peace charm belonged to Qin Xiaoyan, but he gave it to her in the name of Lu Yunshen.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, these two people...

Jiang Mian likes it very much. Qin Xiaoyan's peace charm is very useful to her. She sleeps soundly every night with it on her bedside.

He put his thoughts back and looked down at the little girl's happy face, "Aren't you angry anymore?"

Jiang Mian wasn't angry at all. Just when she was about to speak, she felt her body sink and the little one in her belly moved.

Ji Zhixiu quickly helped her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't feel comfortable with your stern face." Jiang Mian answered quickly.

She was probably spoiled by this man, so that now she felt aggrieved when she saw his cold face.

Ji Zhixiu frowned, he was too worried about Jiang Mian's safety.

But now, looking at her as if she was being bullied by him, Ji Zhixiu could only say, “My fault. Do you want to eat fruit or not? I'll peel it for you. The doctor said that eating more fruit is good for pregnant women." "

Jiang Mian complained aggrievedly, “Are you doing it for my own good or for your child's?"

Ji Zhixiu finally understood what Chang Qin said before about the changeable moods of pregnant women.

He admitted defeat, “Of course it's for you."

Jiang Mian's smile changed in a second and she hugged him, "Hubby, when can I give birth? I suddenly feel so tired from being pregnant."

"It's almost time. We won't give birth to this baby after this one, okay?" Ji Zhixiu coaxed her.

"Okay." Jiang Mian nodded vigorously, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

She asked this question too many times. Ji Zhixiu thought about it for two seconds and said cautiously, “It's a girl, she's cute."

Because last time he answered boy, but obviously she was not satisfied.

"But I think this baby is a boy, Qing Qing said so."

"A boy, too."

"Then you still like boys?" Jiang Mian grabbed his arm reluctantly.

Apparently no matter how he answered, she had something to say.

His eyes darkened, he held her head with his big palm, and chose to end the topic by kissing her nagging little mouth.

"Well……"

Their lips touched each other, and hot breath swept over them, causing each other to shiver.

Jiang Mian leaned weakly in his arms, her cheeks were flushed, and her peach blossom eyes were stained with water, looking both delicate and angry, "I'm pressing the baby..."

"You have to concentrate on kissing." Ji Zhixiu touched her long, silky hair and spoke in a clear and pleasant tone.

The eyes became even more difficult to control, and then they covered him again.
