She wanted to marry, and he was anxious

Chapter 20 The Bitter Meat Scheme

Ye Zhihan followed his gaze to her hand, then she raised the box in her hand in front of Ji Hanzhou.

"Are you talking about this? This is what my brother gave me today." Ye Zhihan's face was filled with a happy smile.

"You said this was a gift from your elder brother?" Ji Hanzhou was a little surprised.

Ye Zhihan opened the box, took out the pen inside, and gently held it in his palm, "Yes, look, isn't it very beautiful."

The depressed mood that had just accumulated in Ji Hanzhou's heart was now swept away, and he sincerely praised, "Very beautiful."

Ye Zhihan held the pen carefully, his eyes full of cherishment, afraid that he would accidentally drop it, "I think so too, I want to put it away."

Looking at the woman who was so happy about receiving the gift, Ji Hanzhou couldn't help but think of what Yang Yi said: It doesn't matter what you give, the most important thing is the person who gives the gift.

I just don’t know if she will be as happy as she is now when she receives the gift from me.

"Brother came to the capital, why didn't he come home?"

"Brother was very busy, so we had lunch together and then he left the capital." Ye Zhihan said a little disappointed, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Then, as if she thought of something, she said, "Brother came here temporarily and was in a hurry, so I didn't ask you to join me at noon. Don't be angry." There was a hint of caution in her eyes.

"No, I'll treat you to dinner next time I have the chance." Ji Hanzhou returned to his usual gentle appearance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a look of relief in his eyes.

After understanding the situation clearly, Ji Hanzhou stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the study to work overtime. It might be a little late. You go to bed first."

Ye Zhihan smiled and shook his head, like a breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples, "It's okay, go ahead and get busy."

In the study, Ji Hanzhou made a phone call, "How's the solution going?"

Shen Yi on the other end of the phone: "Brother, since the beauty trap doesn't work, what do you think of the self-torture trap?"

Ji Hanzhou sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Not very good, I shouldn't have asked you."

Shen Yi snorted, with a tone of dissatisfaction, "Then you still asked me, didn't you?"

"Listen to me first. Women are all emotional creatures. My sister-in-law is beautiful and kind-hearted! You have to show your weaknesses so that my sister-in-law will take the initiative to care about you."

Ji Hanzhou did not say anything immediately, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

Shen Yi asked: "What do you think, brother?"

Ji Hanzhou rarely did not hit him, "This sounds good."

After receiving the affirmation, Shen Yi was a little too proud of himself, and his tone of voice became a little higher, "Of course, there is no disease that I can't treat, and no medicine that I can't prescribe."

"Humph." Ji Hanzhou snorted coldly, with a hint of ridicule, "Then tell me what happened with the beauty trap last time."

Shen Yi was also very distressed about this. Logically speaking, it shouldn't end in failure.

He said confidently: "Brother, I think there is nothing wrong with my method. It must be that you did it wrong."

Listening to Shen Yi's firm tone, Ji Hanzhou couldn't help but doubt. Was it really his problem?

Driven by curiosity, Shen Yi said: "Brother, tell me what happened between you and sister-in-law that day?"

To ensure that he was not suspected of gossiping, he added, "I don't mean to inquire about the relationship between you and your sister-in-law. I'm just helping you analyze it."

Ji Hanzhou recalled and said, "That day, I did what you said, and I almost scared her to tears."

Shen Yi was surprised and said, "Ah, no way, sister-in-law is so timid? Are you sure you did it as I said? You didn't add anything yourself..."

"No." Ji Hanzhou interrupted him.

"It shouldn't be like this." Shen Yi repeated.

"Brother, you said that my sister-in-law was scared and cried. What kind of crying was it?"

Ji Hanzhou's voice sounded a little frustrated, "She didn't cry, but her face was red, her eyes were closed, and her body was shaking slightly. She was about to cry."

"His face was flushed, his eyes were closed..." Shen Yi repeated these words.

After a while, Shen Yi's slightly speechless voice came, "Brother, is there a possibility that my sister-in-law is shy?"

"Shy?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Ji Hanzhou's tone.

"Yes, I am shy. You are husband and wife, this kind of thing is normal. How could my sister-in-law be scared and cry? As expected, a man in love..."

"Impossible." Ji Hanzhou interrupted Shen Yi coldly. "Okay, you can go now." Ji Hanzhou hung up the phone.

So, was she shy that day? Does that mean she has a crush on me? Ji Hanzhou's mind was getting more and more confused. Nothing had ever troubled him so much.

When Ji Hanzhou returned to the master bedroom, Ye Zhihan had already fallen asleep.

This continued for several days. Ji Hanzhou would return to his room only after Ye Zhihan fell asleep. When Ye Zhihan woke up in the morning, Ji Hanzhou had already gotten up.

The two of them had breakfast together, went to work together, left work together, and had dinner together. That was it.

Friday night

During the warm dinner, Ji Hanzhou took a bite of food and put it into his mouth, then asked, "Tomorrow is Saturday, are you going to work?"

Ye Zhihan swallowed the food in his mouth and responded: "You are not going to work tomorrow, what's the matter?"

"Then let's go to Shen's house for lunch tomorrow?"

"it is good."

It was Saturday noon and the sun was shining brightly, casting its warm rays upon the earth.

Shen house

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are here, come in quickly." Shen Yi took the things in Ji Hanzhou's hand with a smile on his face and welcomed them in warmly.

Shen's mother Xie Jiaying couldn't wait to come forward and enthusiastically took Ye Zhihan's hand: "Hanhan, Hanzhou, you are here, come and sit down."

Ye Zhihan said obediently: "Thank you, Aunt Xie."

Xie Jiaying pretended to be angry and said, "Don't be so polite to Aunt Xie. From now on, treat this place as your own home and don't be so formal."

After about a cup of tea, Shen Yi stood up and said to Ji Hanzhou, "Brother, I got some new rare things a few days ago. Want to go and have a look?"

Ji Hanzhou did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Ye Zhihan with a questioning look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Jiaying couldn't help but joked: "Don't worry, your wife can't run away."

Ji Hanzhou then said to Ye Zhihan: "Then I'll go take a look and come back soon."

Ye Zhihan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, okay."

Xie Jiaying patted Ye Zhihan's hand and said, "It's good that they left, so they don't have to disturb us while we're talking."

Ye Zhihan smiled. Xie Jiaying was lively, eloquent and good at chatting. The two of them didn't feel awkward being together. On the contrary, Ye Zhihan really liked her easy-going and friendly personality.

They chatted about trivial matters in life, their respective interests and hobbies, and then from their interests and hobbies to various interesting things in the capital. The atmosphere was particularly harmonious and there was constant laughter.

As they chatted, Xie Jiaying somehow shifted the topic to her and Ji Hanzhou.

Xie Jiaying held Ye Zhihan's hand and said with emotion: "Hanhan, first of all, Aunt Xie wants to thank you very much. Thank you for marrying Han Zhou."

Ye Zhihan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xie Jiaying, "It is Han Zhou's blessing to marry you. I believe his mother in heaven will feel relieved to see how loving you are." As she spoke, a few crystal tears squeezed out of the corners of Xie Jiaying's eyes.

Ye Zhihan quickly took the tissue beside her and said with concern: "Aunt Xie, why are you crying?"

Xie Jiaying waved her hands and continued, "Han Zhou is a miserable child. Both his parents left him when he was 12 years old, and his bastard father left the Ji family in such a mess. Although Mr. Ji was also a well-known figure when he was young, he is old after all and can't protect Han Zhou. You don't know that Han Zhou..."

Ye Zhihan asked nervously, "What's wrong with him?"

Xie Jiaying was secretly happy: the effect is pretty good.

Then she squeezed out some more tears, her voice trembling a little: "Han Zhou was assassinated and kidnapped at a young age, and later..."

Ye Zhihan was about to cry, her voice full of anxiety: "What happened to him later? Aunt Xie, please tell me, what happened later?"
