Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 125 Birthday Gift
He nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, if you hadn't brought it up, I would have forgotten about it long ago. Why bring up something from so long ago?"

Seeing that Qi Yan and Lin Peifeng didn't take the matter to heart, Li Hongying felt comfortable eating.

After dinner, since Li Hongying and the others had cooked the meal, Ji Sisi felt embarrassed to ask them to wash the dishes, so she took on the task of washing the dishes herself.

Seeing the mountain of plates, Lin Miao spontaneously joined the dishwashing team.

“I just saw Qi Yan sneaking off with Qi Yan again, as if she wanted to discuss something with him. Sisi, you’d better remember to whisper in his ear tonight and try to get the information out of him.”

Lin Miao was washing the dishes, but her mind was elsewhere.

Before Ji Sisi could even reply, Lin Miao thought of something else.

"Forget it, you two are both very busy people, and you only have a little time to rest in the evening. Hurry up and do something serious."

Ji Sisi: "..."

An awkward and embarrassed feeling welled up inside Ji Sisi, and she felt somewhat helpless.

Lin Miao noticed Ji Sisi's micro-expression, smiled, and nudged her shoulder to explain, "You have no idea how many people have been asking me about you since Guo Xiaolan's pregnancy stabilized. Those people are really bored."

There were some even more outrageous comments, but Lin Miao didn't tell Ji Sisi, afraid of hurting her good friend's feelings.

"They're really bored," Ji Sisi complained.

Sensing that Ji Sisi was in a low mood, Lin Miao avoided the topic, worried about adding more pressure to her good friend.

After finishing their meal, Qi Yan and Lin Peifeng returned to the institute to continue their work.

When she returned, it was already 9:30 p.m. Ji Sisi was about to close the door when she ran into Qi Yan opening the door.

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

When Qi Yan saw her, the corners of his lips curved into a smile of doting affection.

"Looks like I came back just in time to meet you. Do you think we're telepathically connected?"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Sisi's lips involuntarily curled up, and she turned and walked towards the house.

"You wish! I'm just here to close the door. The hot water is ready. Go in and take a shower before it gets cold."

Qi Yan didn't dare to waste any time and took a shower as soon as she got back to her room.

After everyone finished showering, Ji Sisi sat on the sofa, clearly having been waiting for a long time and having something to ask.

Thinking about the information Lin Miao had revealed during the day, Ji Sisi couldn't resist the torment of her curiosity and decisively asked Qi Yan.

"After dinner, I saw Qi Yan talking to you. What did you two talk about?"

Qi Yan sat next to Ji Sisi, leaning on her shoulder, his brows furrowed with exhaustion, and said with his eyes closed.

"She asked me if I could stay at the research institute for an internship for a while, and asked me to talk to my dad and ask him to let her stay at the institute."

Ji Sisi felt a weight on her shoulders and turned to look at the man. His eyes were dark and his spirits were much worse than they had been a few days ago. She looked at him with heartache.

“I didn’t agree. I didn’t bring her home, so it’s none of my business how to resolve this.”

Ji Sisi nodded in agreement with his point of view.

"By the way, where's my birthday present?" Qi Yan suddenly looked up, sat up straight, and gazed at Ji Sisi with affectionate eyes that were full of smiles.

Ji Sisi blinked, her mind racing.

She pushed Qi Yan away and stood up. "I prepared it a long time ago. It's in the room. Wait here, I'll go get it for you right away."

As she spoke, her mind raced, trying to recall if there were any men's products in the warehouse. Ji Sisi turned and walked away, thinking as she went.

Before she could react, she was suddenly lifted into the air and picked up around the waist, which startled her so much that she screamed.

Ji Sisi instinctively wrapped her arms around Qi Yan's neck, and suddenly stammered, "You, weren't you tired?"

"I don't feel tired anymore when I'm talking to you."

Ji Sisi had a bad feeling; she had finally managed to get a night's rest. "Put me down first, I'll go get your birthday present."

Qi Yan carried the person into the house, saying, "You are my gift, I don't want anything else."

The moment the door closed, Ji Sisi already knew how the night would end.
-
After tossing and turning until midnight last night, Ji Sisi slept until eight o'clock. When she opened her eyes, the sun was already shining into the room.

Ji Sisi habitually reached for the spot beside her, but the person had already left.

My mind was still reeling when there was a knock on the door, followed by Wu Gang's voice.

"Is Sister-in-law Ji home? Your relative called looking for you, saying it's urgent."

Ji Sisi, who had just closed her eyes, suddenly opened them wide and rushed out after changing her clothes.

She opened the door. "Comrade Wu, who called me?"

"The person you called last time called me early this morning, telling me to make sure to let you know right away, saying she has something very important to discuss with you."

"Aunt Liu?"

"Correct."

Ji Sisi thought there must be progress on Ji Nian's matter. She went back to her room and washed up as quickly as possible. When she came out, Wu Gang had already gone back to his shift.

To save time, she rode her bike to the guardhouse.

Having learned from her previous phone calls, Ji Sisi no longer needed Wu Gang's help and easily got through to Jiang Hai.

There was a few seconds of silence on the phone, then a beep sounded and the call was answered.

Aunt Liu looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, she covered the receiver tightly, "Sisi?"

"It's me, Aunt Liu. Why are you calling me so urgently? Is there any progress on Ji Nian's matter?"

"Yeah, I heard she hired a big-name lawyer from the capital, I think it's to exonerate her or something. Anyway, that guy is something else, he actually found out that it was me who submitted the materials to the police."

“That man is blocking the entrance to our workplace every day. As soon as I get off work, he stops me and says he wants to talk to me, and he also says…”

Aunt Liu spoke faster and faster, her heart pounding.

"They even said they'd sue both of us! Sisi, what are we going to do? Won't we go to jail?"

Aunt Liu has been honest and law-abiding all her life. Ji Sisi guessed that this might be the boldest thing she has ever done. Now she is easily frightened by a few words of intimidation from others.

"Sue us? Did he say what the grounds or reasons were?"

Ji Sisi was puzzled. On what grounds could the lawyer sue her?
The materials I sent didn't have her signature, and you're going to sue me based on a certificate issued by the research institute?

"Well, I don't remember exactly. The man was very serious when he spoke, he was extremely earnest, and he even showed me his certificate. Anyway, he didn't seem to be joking."

Ji Sisi sensed Aunt Liu's fear; her voice was trembling as she spoke.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry, I'm sorry for what happened."

Ji Sisi tried her best to calm herself down. "Here's what we'll do. I'll get back as soon as possible. If that man asks you to go out again during this time, just remember everything he says. If you can't remember it, write it down in a notebook. I'll handle it when I get back."

After receiving Ji Sisi's reply, Aunt Liu gripped the phone tightly, as if she had grasped a lifeline.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ji Sisi asked a few more questions, but Aunt Liu's replies were all very vague, and it was easy to see that Aunt Liu was really frightened.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Sisi stared blankly at one spot.

Wu Gang lowered his perked-up ears and silently turned his eyes and head away.
