Chapter 1039 Shen Pingting, Marry Me
Ji Liangchuan suddenly remembered the injuries on Shen Pingting's body and couldn't help asking, "When you were on the boat with her changing clothes, did you see those injuries?"
Fan Changxi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of heartache in her eyes. "Well, I saw it. I don't know what that child has been through. Mom has to say one more thing. Pingting is very defensive. If you want to get into her heart, you have to spend more time. Of course, if you are not interested in her, then just pretend that Mom never said this."
Fan Changxi was teasing her son on purpose. Given his temperament, he might get angry. But unexpectedly, Ji Liangchuan just said "hmm", "I know."
Fan Changxi couldn't help but laugh and said to her husband, "Did you hear that? It's really amazing that your son agreed to it and didn't even refute me."
The corners of Ji Chengli's mouth twitched, which meant that his son subconsciously knew that he had special feelings for Shen Pingting.
However, as a father, he actually didn't want to hear this news. Although Shen Pingting was good, she was not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of their Ji family. At least she was not a qualified mother. Moreover, the girl last time actually spoke rudely to his wife, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Okay, didn't you just say you were tired? Go to sleep."
Fan Changxi lowered her eyes and smiled, "I was sleepy just now, but I couldn't sleep even though it hurt. I've also come to terms with it. If I can't sleep, I'll do something that interests me. Why should I sleep for a long time when I'm alive? I'll sleep forever after I die."
"Nonsense. Death after death every day. Can't you say something auspicious?" Ji Chengli was very angry and quickly wiped his eyes while his wife was not paying attention.
"As human beings, birth, aging, illness and death are all normal. I was wondering if we should prepare for Liangchuan and Pingting's wedding? We should choose a wedding dress designer, design the diamond ring in advance, find a wedding venue, and draw up a list of betrothal gifts. No matter how much betrothal gifts the Fu family gave to the Shen family, our Ji family must not give less, otherwise it would be unfair to Pingting."
"You..." Ji Chengli was helpless. It was she who had said before that it was impossible for her and Shen Pingting to become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and now she was also the one who had to prepare for the wedding.
"Don't sigh. I'm doing this for my son. I just want to see my son get married and have a complete family before I die."
After hearing her say this, Ji Chengli didn't say anything else, but gave Ji Liangchuan an order: Deal with Shen Pingting!
It has been like this since childhood. Ji Chengli and Fan Changxi are true love, and Ji Liangchuan is an accident. The father and son have often fought over who will sleep with Fan Changxi, so they are used to this indifferent way of getting along.
Ji Liangchuan didn't reply, but went to the garden with the red wine and the glass.
Shen Pingting noticed the footsteps, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked back abruptly while closing the computer.
Seeing that it was Ji Liangchuan, she narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her heart was in turmoil for a moment, and shame and anger surged in her heart.
"To protect against me?" Ji Liangchuan asked, sitting next to her naturally.
Shen Pingting's tone was very cold, "You ask even though you know the answer."
"You are such an unlovable woman. Do you have to be so direct and ruthless?" Ji Liangchuan muttered and put the things on the table.
He took two empty cups, and it was obvious that he was planning to have a drink with her, but Shen Pingting stood up to leave. Before she left, Ji Liangchuan mocked her, "You are so afraid to drink with me, are you worried that you might have sex after drinking?"
"Provocation doesn't work on me." Although she said this, she still sat down.
Shen Pingting was indeed a little confused. This man was arrogant and narcissistic, and it was hard for him to stop thinking that she liked him. She actually didn't want to get entangled with him.
It's just that she was upset tonight, so a couple of drinks would be nice.
Ji Liangchuan curled his lips slightly, thinking her reaction was really interesting. Nanzhou and the others always said that he was stubborn, but wasn't Shen Pingting also stubborn?
After pouring two glasses of red wine, Ji Liangchuan handed one to Shen Pingting.
But Shen Pingting didn't answer it, but just looked at Ji Liangchuan vigilantly.
"Humph, are you afraid that I'll drug you? I, Ji Liangchuan, am not that mean."
Ji Liangchuan's chest felt tight. What was that look in this woman's eyes? He just thought the moonlight was charming and suitable for a drink.
Shen Pingting lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "It's just a habit."
Is this an explanation?
Ji Liangchuan thought about it, isn't this an explanation? This woman is always cold to everyone, even in front of her son Xiaochuan, she rarely shows her gentle side. She is indeed used to being vigilant to everyone and everything around her.
“Why did you develop such a habit?”
Shen Pingting snorted coldly. As expected, he was a rich young master who had lived a glamorous life since childhood. He had no idea what kind of life those people who lived in the dark lived. If she hadn't been vigilant at all times, she might not have had the chance to live until now.
Ji Liangchuan seemed to realize that he had asked a very stupid question. His handsome face flushed slightly, and he drank half a glass of red wine with some embarrassment to cover up his embarrassment.
Seeing him drink it, Shen Pingting also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was not that she was easily let down her guard, but the man in front of her had no need to drug or poison her.
Neither of them spoke any more, just staring at the moonlight and sipping their red wine. I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or something else, but the atmosphere became a little weird.
"You seem to like staying outside? Why?" Ji Liangchuan took the initiative to speak, not to pry into her privacy, but subconsciously wanting to know.
This was the first time he had the desire to understand a woman, and Ji Liangchuan was actually faintly excited.
Shen Pingting curled her lips and replied indifferently, "It's rare to be able to stay outside freely. When I was a child, the places I spent most of my time in were basements, laboratories, and... the black market and dark places."
She is different from those glamorous little girls. There is not so much sunshine in her life. Just like Fu Xizhou said, they live in a dark abyss and are very dirty.
When Ji Liangchuan heard this, he felt as if his heart was inexplicably stabbed, and a slight pain spread. He actually felt the fragility of this woman. Although it was fleeting, it was real.
He thought of the injuries on her body, and his voice softened unconsciously, "Is that how you got those scars on your body?"
"Yes." Shen Pingting did not hide the truth, "In addition to those from the instructors, there are also some left over from illegal boxing."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ji Liangchuan's eyes, "Did that old witch Tan Xiangyun force you to do that?"
"Not entirely. If I don't want to do it, he can't force me. I hope to become stronger and one day I won't be controlled by anyone. Then getting hurt and feeling pain are inevitable."
Shen Pingting's tone was casual, but her understated words revealed endless sadness and pain. A 26-year-old girl should have been enjoying life, finding a handsome boyfriend, and having a passionate or sweet love affair, but she was fighting for her life. No wonder she had such a cold temper.
When Ji Liangchuan thought of this, he couldn't help but hate Tan Xiangyun even more. If possible, he wished that the person who was killed in the explosion that day was the real Tan Xiangyun.
He unconsciously stretched out his big hand and gently covered Shen Pingting's hand.
Shen Pingting shuddered slightly, and tried to pull her hand back with a cold face, but he held her hand tighter. She immediately frowned and said, "Let go."
"No." Ji Liangchuan smiled and acted like a rogue, "You are so afraid of close contact with me, are you worried that you will fall in love with me? After all, it's not easy to find a man as good as me."
Shen Pingting was speechless for a moment and actually laughed out loud. Although it was very short, it perfectly illustrated the saying "People really laugh when they are speechless."
"Shen Pingting, marry me." Ji Liangchuan suddenly said.
