Back at Jade Manor, Meng Ji walked upstairs.
"Madam is back?" Aunt Chu heard the noise and walked out of the kitchen. The soup was still boiling in the pot. She also said that she would continue taking her to the hospital in the evening.
Meng Ji nodded with a tired look.
"Aunt Chu, prepare some soup." Lu Ye thought that Meng Ji didn't eat much at noon and would eat something else to fill his stomach later.
"Okay." Aunt Chu nodded and returned to the kitchen with a smile.
Meng Ji casually threw his bag on the ground, and the contract he was supposed to sign with Lu Ye fell out.
The white paper is particularly obvious on the carpet.
Lu Ye squatted down and picked it up. Meng Ji hadn't signed the signature yet. The paper was tattered and wrinkled in many places.
His eyes deepened, and there was a sound of water in the bathroom. It was Meng Ji taking a bath.
Lu Ye had asked someone to remove the lock on the bathroom door a long time ago, so if he wanted to go in now, Meng Ji would have nothing to do.
But Lu Ye didn't do this.
He opened the door, walked to the study, and reprinted a copy of the birth contract.
Meng Ji signed it.
Based on his understanding of her, not to mention what happened to Li Xin now, Meng Ji was very emotional.
She will definitely use this contract in exchange for something.
When Lu Ye returned to the bedroom, Meng Ji walked out of it wearing a white bathrobe.
Meng Ji's hair was still dripping with water, which slid down his neck and into his collar, turning from water droplets into a string of small streams of water.
Don't blow your head.
Lu Ye frowned, "Come here."
He led Meng Ji to the sofa in the corner and pushed her to sit down.
Turning on the hair dryer, the man's well-jointed fingers moved through her hair, gently, as if treating a rare treasure.
Meng Ji casually picked up the contract that Lu Ye had just reprinted, and she read it carefully again, but didn't see any problems.
Same as the previous one.
It's just that the mother needs an extra item: 【The baby must not leave before he is one year old. 】
Meng Ji frowned and said nothing.
"Lu Ye, I agree to sign this contract." The girl's voice mixed with the noisy sound of the hair dryer reached Lu Ye's ears.
He used his hand as a comb and combed Meng Ji's soft hair.
Her hair is black, shiny, thick, and smooth.
The scent of shampoo that was unique to the two of them entered Lu Ye's nose. He liked this smell very much, it felt like home.
Meng Ji's answer was within Lu Ye's grasp.
"I have a request." Lu Ye paused after hearing her words.
He knew what Meng Ji's request would be, and he could guess it.
"Ask Shen Jing to let Li Xin go. I'm willing to stay for one more year." Meng Ji pointed at the clause in the contract.
When he said this sentence, Meng Ji felt a little ridiculous.
She didn't manage her own marriage clearly, and she even pointed fingers at other people's marriages.
But it is her best friend, Li Xin, who is about to enter the marriage grave.
She had to think of Lu Ye's condition, which was a bit like a joke.
Lu Ye's pupils shrank, she was actually willing to do this for Li Xin.
Meng Ji's hair was dry.
The noise of the blowing wind disappeared, and Lu Ye squatted to tidy up his hair on the ground.
Meng Ji stared at his movements. In fact, if they were an ordinary couple, there would be no harm done to her by Lu Ye between them.
Such a marriage should be very happy.
But there is no if.
Lu Ye quickly picked up the hair on the ground and threw it all into the trash can.
Meng Ji knew that Lu Ye heard it just now.
It's just him weighing the pros and cons.
One was his friend and the other was himself. How to choose? Meng Ji really wasn't sure what Lu Ye was thinking.
"I will not interfere in other people's marriages." Lu Ye squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the expression on her face.
He is not this kind of person.
Moreover, he could also see that Shen Jing was really moved by Li Xin and let go of his friend's beloved. Putting himself in his shoes, Lu Ye felt that Shen Jing would go crazy.
It's like if someone let Meng Ji go, he would go crazy.
Lu Ye kissed Meng Ji's collarbone.
His kiss was obviously warm, but his words were chilling to the bone.
"Meng Ji, you seem to have forgotten that you are not negotiating terms with me now."
"Not signing the contract won't have any impact on me. It's okay if I don't have children. It's just that you have to stay with me forever."
"Even if you die, your tombstone can only be placed next to mine. It can only say the tomb of Lu Ye's beloved wife - Meng Ji."
"Don't even think about negotiating any terms with me."
Lu Ye looked at the extremely delicate little face in front of him. She seemed to be stunned, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Even Lu Ye himself felt that he and Shen Jing were a little cruel.
However, he really didn't want to let go.
Meng Ji was just stunned for a moment, and she hid the rest of her thoughts in her heart.
Aunt Chu knocked on the door, breaking the silence in the room. "Madam, come down and have some sweet soup."
According to the past, Aunt Chu would not do such outrageous things, and she rarely came to the master bedroom.
But after experiencing Meng Ji's escape and being recaptured, her heart gradually became closer to Meng Ji's.
The two of them had been together for so long, and Aunt Chu felt a little worried.
To another extent, she was afraid that Meng Ji would be hurt again.
"Okay, Aunt Chu, I'll be down right away." Meng Ji quickly agreed.
She stood up, picked out a piece of clothing from the wall, and then walked to the bathroom to change.
When she came out again, Lu Ye was no longer in the room.
Meng Ji walked downstairs, and there was the sweet soup she used to like on the dining table.
Lu Ye sat next to the sofa and looked at the information.
He now works from home most of the time. Perhaps Meng Ji's escape last time left a shadow on his mind.
He was always worried that one day Meng Ji would suddenly disappear again.
"Ma'am, drink it while it's hot."
But she had no appetite at the moment, but meeting Aunt Chu's expectant eyes, Meng Ji still sat down and drank slowly.
It was now three hours before Jiang Xicheng left for country F. Meng Ji took a deep breath and drank the sweet soup gradually faster.
"Let's go." Meng Ji rubbed his stomach, feeling a little bloated.
Lu Ye raised his head and looked at Meng Ji, "It's still early."
He felt a little disgusted in his heart. Could he be so impatient to see Jiang Xicheng? He should have known better that he would not agree to her request.
Taking his wife to meet her ex, Lu Ye felt aggrieved no matter what he thought.
Meng Ji looked at the ancient clock on the wall. It would take more than an hour to get to the airport from the manor, not to mention that there would be a lot of people getting off work later.
What should I do if I can't make up for the time?
Meng Ji pursed her lips. She didn't want to not see Jiang Xicheng for the last time. Maybe after this time, they wouldn't see each other for a long time.
The man was still sitting on the sofa indifferently, not looking anxious at all.
Meng Ji took the bag on the sofa, turned around and walked out. She found the keys to the Porsche. Fortunately, she had learned to drive before.
Now I don't need to ask for help from others.
"Stop." Lu Ye's voice sounded from behind, his tone cold.
Aunt Chu ran out of it a little embarrassed, why were the two people who were fine just now starting to quarrel again.
Meng Ji still walked forward.
Lu Ye strode towards her and firmly grabbed Meng Ji's arm.
