Chapter 13 Shouldn't You Call Me Husband?

• After hearing the story, Qin Zhaoming still stood his ground firmly, "Everyone knows that Qin Ziqi has no manners. If she is to marry over, she is only going to be an embarrassment for the Qin family. There is no way I would agree to this."
• True. The wedding already happened. If they were to change the bride now, it would turn the Ji family and the Qin family into the laughingstock of Yan City.
• I said my thoughts out loud.
• Moments ago, Fan Yu was scowling at me. Now she broke into a smile, "Ziqi is so thoughtful."
• Seeing my unwillingness, Qin Ci spoke, "Qi, go check on Mrs. Qiu."
• I knew she was trying to get me away.
• While I was hesitating, Mrs. Chen walked over and brought me to the servants' room.
• The servants' room was not far from the living room, so I could still hear the people talking outside. Qin Ci mentioned that 4% of the stock I own has an annual dividend of up to millions.
• However, I have never seen a single cent of it.
• If they don't agree to my marriage with Ji Zeyan, Qin Ci continued, then they have to spit out all three years worth of dividends and they would receive no more in the future.
• Once money was mentioned, Qin Zhaoming and Fan Yu both slowly bottled up their unhappiness with a few remaining complains.
• Mrs. Chen let me outside once they both left.
• The only one remaining in the living room was Qin Ci. I walked over, "Grandma, please. I don't want to marry Ji Zeyan. He has only Qin Ziqin in his heart."
• "Shhh. It's not long enough for that kind loyalty yet." Qin Ci picked up my hand again, "I knew it was you on the night of the wedding. I also know the way you look at Ji Zeyan and the way Qin Ziqin look at Ji Zeyan. Your grandma is not blind enough to mistake who cares for him more."
• My grandma's words called out my tears.
• On the day of the wedding, Ji Zeyan was actually really nice to me initially.
• Thinking back, he probably didn't tell me and Qin Ziqin apart then.
• Qin Ci continued, seeing that I couldn't find any words to reply, "I looked into Ji Zeyan beforehand. He is a good child. I hope you two would not walk down the same road as I and Mr. Ji. I want to see you two together happily ever after."
• This wedding was more meaningful than I originally thought.
• A glimmer of hope surfaced in my heart. I thought, if Ji Zeyan was looking into Qin Ziqin, he will find out what happened before.
• Then, his attitude towards me would surely change.
• Still, I had my doubts, "But grandma, would Ji Zeyan agree?"
• "He respects his grandpa greatly. If Mr. Ji asks him, he would surely agree." Qin Ci replied with confidence.
• My doubts did not fade away, but my selfishness convinced me otherwise.
• --
• I spent a sleepless night at Jiang Shan's house.
• On the next day, I checked up on everything at my most important construction site. After lunch, just as I was preparing to leave for another construction site, a black car stopped in front of me.
• The back door opened. Faster than I could react, a hand dragged me into the car.
• The door closed, and the car started.
• I thought I was getting kidnapped, but a hand seized my jaw and forced me to face the culprit.
• His gaze froze me right up.
• "Mr. Ji...what are you doing?"
• I could do nothing but stare at him in cold sweat.
• "Mr. Ji?" Ji Yanze looked at me. His lips curled up, yet no joy could be found on his face, "Shouldn't you be calling me husband?"
• I stared blankly back at him.
• Could Qin Ci already told him about it?
