Quick Wear: Domineering System on Your Own

Ji Yue had been tortured to the point of being exhausted both physically and mentally these days, and Ling Jiu had also decided she'd had enough fun and was thinking about going out to relax. She knew that if she stayed home all the time, Ji Yue wouldn't have the chance to attack her.

Lingjiu had just finished changing and was about to go downstairs when she ran into Duan Yizhou, who was looking for her. She stood on the stairs, arms folded across her chest, looking at him with a half-smile: "You really have a lot of free time."

Duan Yizhou touched his nose a little embarrassedly and explained, "Everything in the company has been arranged in advance."

Lingjiu's gaze fell on the dark circles under his eyes, which were particularly obvious. "Staying up late is not good for your health. In serious cases, you may die suddenly. There's no need for you to come here every day."

Duan Yizhou took a few steps forward, his eyes filled with sincerity and shyness. "I've never pursued a girl before, so I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that when you need me, I won't be by your side. So, I just want to be with you every day."

The two walked together to the garden and found a place to sit. Lingjiu looked at him and said teasingly, "I heard that you are very popular now, and there are many people chasing after you."

Duan Yizhou snorted lightly, full of disdain: "They are just a bunch of people who curry favor with the powerful. They used to avoid me as much as possible, but now, every day I get various invitations to invite me to banquets. It's really boring." As he said, he leaned back in his chair and sighed helplessly.

"Lingjiu, it's better for you to deal with Ji Yue as soon as possible." Duan Yizhou's tone became serious.

Lingjiu looked up at the slowly moving white clouds in the sky. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Don't worry, she won't be able to jump around for much longer."

The two chatted for a few words when Ji Yue came over with a fruit plate. She placed the fruit plate gently on the table and said in a soft voice, "Sister, this is the fruit I prepared specially for you. You and Mr. Duan should try it."

Lingjiu keenly noticed that her eyes kept glancing at Duan Yizhou, and immediately understood something in her heart: Oh, she wants to snatch the person away right under her nose!

Lingjiu reached out and picked up a strawberry, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then frowned and threw the rest of the strawberry directly back into the fruit bowl: "Don't you even taste the fruit yourself before you prepare it? It's so sour."

Ji Yue's face instantly fell, and she looked aggrieved. She said nervously, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I tasted it, and it's not very sour!"

Lingjiu snorted coldly: "Why, do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?"

Ji Yue looked at Duan Yizhou for help, hoping that he could speak a fair word for her.

Duan Yizhou cooperated and picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth. After a while, he frowned slightly: "These strawberries are really sour, it's better not to eat them. Xiaojiu, I'll accompany you to buy some more." As he said that, he stood up.

Lingjiu also stood up, and the two walked out of the garden side by side.

Ji Yue looked at their departing backs, feeling that they were particularly glaring. She didn't look away until they completely disappeared from her sight. She stared intently at the strawberries on the plate, muttering to herself, "This shouldn't be happening!"

She reached out and picked up a strawberry and tasted it. It was sweet. She knew in her heart that Lingjiu had done it on purpose, but she couldn't understand why Mr. Duan wanted to help Lingjiu.

At dinner time, the restaurant was brightly lit, and Ji's father and mother's faces were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Ji Yue was full of doubts. She blinked her eyes and asked softly, "Mom and Dad, you look so happy. Is there any good news?"

Father Ji put down the cutlery in his hand and said cheerfully, "Your brother's marriage to the Meng family has been finalized."

The Meng family? That Meng Qian? Ji Yue tried hard to piece together Meng Qian's image in her mind, and unconsciously her brows furrowed slightly. She was already overwhelmed by Ling Jiu, and now there was Meng Qian. Why did each of them like to go against her?

Lingjiu took in Ji Yue's instantly stiff expression. The corners of her mouth curled up meaningfully and she chuckled softly, "Big brother is getting married soon, which is a big happy event for our family. Why don't you look very happy, little sister?"

Ji Yue raised her eyes and met the gaze of Ji's father and mother. Her heart tightened, but then a bright smile quickly broke out on her face and she said, "How could that be? Big brother is about to get married, so of course I'm happy from the bottom of my heart. It's just that when I heard the news, I recalled Miss Meng's appearance in my mind, and I was a little distracted for a while."

"That's good. I was worried that my sister would be jealous if my elder brother had a lover in the future." Lingjiu's voice came slowly, seemingly without any weight, but it caused ripples in Ji Yue's heart.

Ji Yue laughed awkwardly at the side, her laughter seeming a little abrupt in the somewhat quiet hall: "My house is going to be lively, I'm so happy, how could I be jealous?"

"Yes, this house is going to be really lively from now on." Lingjiu agreed, but his eyes drifted towards Ji Yue vaguely.

At this time, Ji's mother smiled and said, "The Meng family is well-matched with our Ji family. I have also seen Meng Qian, a child with a cute appearance. She is a perfect match for your eldest brother."

Father Ji coughed lightly and said, "This marriage is also of great significance to the development of our Ji family's industry. In the future, if the two families work together, we will surely be able to reach a higher level in the business world."

Ling Jiu continued, "It seems like this is truly a marriage made in heaven. But, how are Big Brother and Meng Qian getting along?"

Ji's father replied, "Although they haven't met many times, after spending a few times together, they feel pretty good. Many marriages start with mutual respect and slowly cultivate feelings."

Ji Yue secretly complained in her heart, but she said: "I hope that big brother and Meng Qian can develop a deep relationship as soon as possible, and love each other like my parents do."

The marriage ceremony between the Ji and Meng families was an extravagant affair. Every stitch and thread of the wedding gown, worth tens of millions, was embroidered with the ultimate in luxury and fantasy. The priceless diamond ring, illuminated by the lights, shone with a dazzling brilliance, elevating the atmosphere to an awe-inspiring climax. For a moment, all the unmarried women attending the banquet cast envious glances at Meng Qian.

However, Meng Qian, at the center of this grand wedding, felt mixed emotions. She and Ji Xun had only met a few times and their conversations were mere fragments. There was no spark of love between them.

In her mind, she could already picture what married life would be like, which was nothing more than mutual respect, yet also coldness and alienation.

In their wealthy circle, this kind of marriage model is as common as copy and paste. However, Ji Xun can be considered a good person. Before the marriage, he told her frankly that he did not have any messy relationships outside.

Meng Qian secretly felt fortunate. After all, many people were exposed for having illegitimate children after getting married. Meeting a marriage partner like Ji Xun was a blessing in disguise. Even if there was no love between them in the future, being a respectful couple might be a good ending.
