Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Rose x Kiss

..........Willing or not?

Ji Mingzhu looked at Jiang Ji above her. His brows and eyes were originally cold, but at this moment, probably because he was waiting for her answer, his thin lips were slightly pressed, holding his breath, looking a little nervous.

She smiled, suddenly inspired, her voice slowly seductive. “President Jiang, then if I’m not willing, what will you do?”

After Ji Mingzhu finished speaking, her fingertips mischievously flicked at his collar.

“We’ve kissed, and I’ve seen you bare.” Jiang Ji’s voice was slow. “Who else could you belong to?”

Oh, listening to this tone, he was quite confident.

Of course, the confidence was given to him by her.

Then why was Jiang Ji even asking!

The corners of her lips lifted. Just as she was about to answer, her chin was seized again, and Jiang Ji leaned down tightly, his breath accompanying him as it passed onto her lips.

The second kiss was very gentle, with patience, not as eager as before.

Long and lingering—when it ended, Ji Mingzhu was breathless, almost fainting.

She punched his lean, broad shoulder, her tone resentful, “.........You’re just so!”

Just so thirsty!

She felt like her lips were about to be chewed raw.

After being hit like that, Jiang Ji took advantage and caught her hand, bringing it to his lips, slowly rubbing twice. He didn’t answer her question, only asked directly, “Willing or not, hm?”

Jiang Ji was still waiting for a response.

His other hand held her slender waist, the force deep. Under this two-sided pressure, Ji Mingzhu immediately collapsed and surrendered unconditionally—

“.........Willing willing I’m willing! I’m very willing!”

Receiving such an answer, Jiang Ji’s gaze softened like water. He pressed further, touching her delicate cheek. “Okay, I’ve received it.”

“You personally agreed to this. With me, you don’t have the right to regret it.”

Hearing this, Ji Mingzhu cupped his face and pinched hard. “If I’m not allowed to regret it, what if you regret it?”

Jiang Ji looked at her as if she were foolish. “Do you think I’d be like you, the kind who starts and then abandons?”

Ji Mingzhu: “............”

She was dumbfounded. How had she started and then abandoned?

What happened between them before didn’t really count as a beginning… right?

“Going abroad, Switzerland.” Jiang Ji explained concisely. “Although I was also at fault, but—”

“Do you remember what you personally said? Now, I only want you to understand that I am the other half you imagined.”

In high school, boys and girls had separate physical education classes. Although Jiang Ji and Ji Mingzhu were not in the same class, their Tuesday and Friday afternoon PE classes belonged to the same teacher. Every time, they would run into each other—just that coincidental.

After playing basketball, the boys gathered under the shade of trees, youthful hormones everywhere, their gazes directed toward the track.

Ji Mingzhu was surrounded by a group of girls on the field, being asked about her ideal type.

At that time, she had just jumped down from the horizontal bar, her slender legs under the white school skirt long.

She smiled. “An ideal type is simple—clean, outstanding, handsome, and belongs only to me.”

That sentence scattered in the wind.

And Jiang Ji remembered it for many years.

Even after the birthday banquet, when he thought there was no possibility between them.

During those years abroad alone, Jiang Ji, as always, lived into the image Ji Mingzhu had imagined.

He was like a machine set on tracks; even feeling the future was vague, he still carried a light of desperate determination.

Ji Mingzhu’s heart pounded like a drum, only feeling that layer after layer of secrets belonging to the two of them, about their youth, were being slowly torn open.

Ji Mingzhu recalled the scene from that time; she had never forgotten it either.

At that time, Jiang Ji didn’t know that he didn’t need to live according to her ideal.

Because…

“Jiang Ji, I want to tell you, you don’t need to make me understand.” Ji Mingzhu said, looking into his vast black eyes.

“Because you are already my ideal.”

…

So many flowers, used at a crucial moment, indeed had outstanding effect.

But when it really came time to clean up, it was another situation.

Before cleaning, she was pulled up from the ground by Jiang Ji. Ji Mingzhu looked at the pig made of rose arrangements, twice her height. “Jiang Ji, this brand is very expensive, and you even made one this big.”

Not to mention the one he had just held, and those bouquets he neatly broke apart after buying them, petals scattered everywhere like a rooster plucked bare.

“It’s fine. It can be stored for a long time, just leave it there.” Jiang Ji made a move to start cleaning.

Ji Mingzhu quickly stopped him. “Hey, don’t—”

Meeting Jiang Ji’s questioning gaze, Ji Mingzhu explained, “First time in life, I have to take photos as a memorial, right? I want three hundred and sixty degrees, no blind spots recorded!”

With such a beautiful scene, anyone would be unable to resist.

Not to mention it was carefully prepared by her newly minted other half.

Yes, other half.

These three words sounded quite fitting.

Ji Mingzhu instructed Jiang Ji to help her get the photography equipment. After posing in many angles and positions, she finally finished taking photos.

Jiang Ji cleaned the petals on the ground. Ji Mingzhu took the opportunity to stand beside the human-height pig, carefully examining it.

Then she stood face-to-face with it, as if comparing who was taller and stronger.

After some time, Jiang Ji instructed her, “Alright, it’s very late. Go back to your room and wash up.”

“…It’s not that late yet?” Ji Mingzhu turned back in confusion, not understanding why he was suddenly urging her away.

“Wait for me in the room.” Jiang Ji continued cleaning, calmly adding.

Ji Mingzhu suddenly felt like she had stepped into a trap.

In short, she had just escaped one pit and entered another new one.

…

After returning to her room, Ji Mingzhu scratched her head in agitation.

Her gaze seemed to pass through the door panel, as if able to penetrate that thin wall.

Ji Mingzhu wanted to loudly announce it, but considering this was their first day.

Would it seem not very reserved?

And…

Most importantly!

Jiang Ji’s previous “no spark” was now widely circulated in the parents’ circle.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingzhu hummed softly to herself, her thoughts pulled back to Jiang Ji again.

He had kissed her like that just now.

Deeply, forcefully, irresistibly.

And… desperately sucking.

Ji Mingzhu felt like ants were crawling over her heart, and the temperature on her face could rival a boiling kettle lid.

After thinking it over, Ji Mingzhu finally couldn’t hold back. She climbed onto Weibo and shared this secret news with her fans.

【rl: Tonight is a special night~ [chick.jpg]】

Attached was also a picture.

The picture showed a somewhat dim background, but it wasn’t hard to see the human-height rose tree, rose petals scattered all over the ground, and the custom exclusive ribbons.

Along with the caption, the hint was self-evident.

For a moment, fans flocked over, both curious and amazed.

——Ah, I thought it was an update, didn’t expect this?

——Something’s going on… our little pearl got into a relationship??

——Wuwuwu don’t know what to say, blessings to wife first!

——My god, so many roses, I didn’t see wrong right, this is roseonly custom!

——The one above is surprised too early, look carefully, the casually scattered ones on the ground are the real highlight :) so romantic ahhh!!

——Oh my, I vaguely recognize a pig and a chicken, is this the little fun rich people play?

——Damn, my pearl is really rich, I see a bit of floor-to-ceiling window and river view, this damn place— isn’t this Park Hyatt residence!

——I’m already used to it, judging from this post, you really found your other half, little pearl, you must be happy!

After reading the last hot comment, Ji Mingzhu liked them one by one.

Although she didn’t know them in real life, the empathy that transcended time and space at this moment, and the most sincere blessings, made Ji Mingzhu feel their intentions.

Setting aside Jiang Corporation and Ji Corporation… at present… she could be considered to have both career and love harvest?

Ji Mingzhu’s brows curved, humming a tune, thinking of the hot comment she just saw.

About—pig and chicken.

Sometimes, Jiang Ji really understood her.

Back then, to make his birthday gift, she personally got involved. For this concept, it was entirely a sudden inspiration.

And Ji Mingzhu felt there was no better idea than this.

So she spent a long time personally drawing the floral pattern, then customizing it, describing the effect she wanted, handing it to the European headquarters to produce, then shipping it back to the country.

Back and forth, it consumed quite a bit of time and effort.

After that cold war, she thought Jiang Ji would never hear her own interpretation in this lifetime.

But he understood her.

After Jiang Ji received it, with just one glance, he understood all her little thoughts.

Then, on such a night, he gave her an unexpected romance.

Spring was approaching, everything reviving.

Ji Mingzhu also felt spring in full bloom, so strong it couldn’t be hidden.

She collapsed onto the bed and suddenly remembered something.

Just now Jiang Ji said— “wait for me in the room,” right?

That’s what he meant! Right!!

What was he going to do! Did he have little thoughts! Did he want to do something to her again!

Before that sentence… Jiang Ji had also specifically told her… to take a shower…

Coming back to her senses from the earlier intoxication, Ji Mingzhu suddenly became alert.

…

Jiang Ji’s little thoughts weren’t hard to guess.

Or rather, he hadn’t intended to hide them at all.

Jiang Ji also finished washing up and changed into home clothes.

When he came over and pushed the door open, Ji Mingzhu was sitting at the bedside contemplating life.

“Why are you so silent? You didn’t even knock?” Noticing the shadow cast in front of her, Ji Mingzhu was startled.

“You didn’t lock the door.” Jiang Ji’s tone was very natural, without any embarrassment.

“Why did you come to my place?” Ji Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously.

Jiang Ji took two steps forward. “Came to sleep with you.”

Hearing this sentence, Ji Mingzhu almost fainted on the spot.

It was only the first day, and he already wanted to…?

“No way, you…”

Jiang Ji looked ascetic, like a monk, but she didn’t expect him to be so—eager.

He used to say she was impatient, but men probably project their own fantasies onto others.

No matter how she looked at it now, he was the impatient one!

“It’s only the first day… don’t you think it’s too fast?”

Ji Mingzhu felt jumping straight to the point was a bit quick. Although the person was Jiang Ji, it wasn’t unacceptable, but—those gradual steps of kissing and hugging, plus touching, still needed imagination.

Ji Mingzhu was also part of the imagination army; she couldn’t avoid it.

“Too fast?” Jiang Ji leaned down slightly. “I’ve known you for more than ten years, lived together for several months. You still think it’s the first day?”

According to her truest thoughts, Ji Mingzhu had also fantasized about him for a long time.

Then it was dry wood meeting blazing fire—burn tonight.

When studying abroad, there were classmates who were especially bold.

Ji Mingzhu wasn’t unfamiliar with it.

But before, she could only understand it; she wouldn’t follow.

Now, because the person was him, it felt like many possibilities appeared.

Thinking this, Ji Mingzhu simply shut her eyes, set her jaw. “Come then, I’m not afraid, but… you still have to be gentle.”

After speaking, she kept her eyes tightly closed, not daring to look at Jiang Ji.

Even though nothing had started yet, Ji Mingzhu’s mind was already filled with unspeakable content.

However… she waited quite a while and nothing happened.

Jiang Ji remained quiet.

He hadn’t said anything; silence spread between the lovers.

After waiting for a long time, Ji Mingzhu felt strange and lifted her eyelids.

What entered her sight was only him, his eyes filled with laughter.

“What are you thinking?” Jiang Ji’s voice was clear like spring water striking pebbles. “I just wanted to hold you while sleeping.”

“............”

Ji Mingzhu felt a rush of blood to her head, then it condensed into four big words—【overthinking】.

“…In your dreams.” At this point, Ji Mingzhu was both embarrassed and shy. “I don’t care, anyway even just hugging isn’t allowed now.”

At this moment, she felt like she had climbed to the highest step, only to be told at the crucial moment that it was all an illusion, something she imagined herself.

Nothing was more embarrassing than this.

Jiang Ji acted as if he hadn’t heard, lifted a corner of the quilt, and pulled her into his arms. For a moment, the two lay together under the covers.

“We’ve slept together before.” Jiang Ji held her tightly. “At a time like this, you should be considerate of me.”

Ji Mingzhu was still thinking about her own “overthinking” just now.

The most crucial thing was that Jiang Ji, this mood-killer, even deliberately poked at it.

She… she also needed to save face!

But when she was really pulled onto the bed, feeling the warmth behind her, her heart softened, like turning into a pool of syrup.

After struggling a few times, she obediently nestled in.

“Jiang Ji, tell me honestly, is this how other people date too?” Ji Mingzhu was genuinely puzzled.

It happened often in TV dramas, but in reality she rarely saw it.

But matters in the bedroom were private, and Ji Mingzhu couldn’t really investigate.

Jiang Ji’s voice sounded above her head. “Like I said just now, we’ve known each other for many years. Putting aside previous misunderstandings, our child might already be old enough to buy soy sauce.”

“Hmph… who wants to bear your child?”

Leaving aside those years, not short but not long either, she didn’t want to give birth early.

And—right now Jiang Ji was really something.

Like a live volcano, erupting at her.

“Why are you talking so much at a time like this?” Ji Mingzhu frowned, twisting slightly in his arms.

She was more used to the previous him, cold as frost.

Now Jiang Ji was still cold, but Ji Mingzhu could feel that his attitude toward her was different from everyone else.

“No, I’m just stating facts.” Jiang Ji paused, then slowly said, “That was the premise. I also want to say…”

“This is an obligation you need to fulfill.” He seemed to smile, his voice lowered. “Understood, girlfriend.”
