Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Lately, A Bit Annoyed! A Bit Annoyed!

Ji Rui has been a bit upset lately. Upset about what?

A thirty-year-old man, what would he usually be upset about?

Upset about money? Strike that!

President Ji’s current wealth is more than enough for him and Ji Baby to squander through several generations, so money is not something that can upset him!

Upset about work? Strike that!

President Ji has managed to elevate the Ji Family’s ranking by over a dozen places in just a few years, proving he is a superman at work; for work to upset him, the Ji Family would have to go bankrupt, so work won’t upset him either!

Upset about family?

This... seems indeed a bit because Ji Baby has been endlessly scheming for the welfare of two cats, from having them eat at the table to sleeping with them. President Ji has a cleanliness habit; would you say he wouldn’t go crazy eating and sleeping with cats?

But this upset is ultimately not the primary reason he finds it hard to sit, eat, and sleep peacefully.

So, what is he really upset about?

Upset about feelings?

This...

Ji Rui himself cannot say!

In any case, since attending the second son’s birthday party of the Luo Family, Ji Rui has been feeling off!

Is this a feelings problem?

Ji Rui believes it’s not since Le Tong is just his secretary, a very clever and cunning secretary.

Although he had an unusual relationship with her, the relationship was merely an unexpected mistake after some drinks, unrelated to feelings.

Moreover, the messy emotions he could not sort out in his heart are mostly anger and malice, likely stemming from being toyed with and deceived, also unrelated to feelings.

So, what is he really upset about? Ji Rui himself can’t figure it out!

After several nights of sleeplessness, that night, after coaxing Ji Baby to sleep, he sat alone at the bar with floor-to-ceiling glass, holding a drink and looking at the night scene, trying to figure out why he was upset.

He’s lived for thirty years and experienced many tempests, yet none made him lose sleep and appetite like these recent days.

Through the glass, the dazzling night scene can be seen outside, but it seems like a painting, with only images but no sound. What he sees is just a still image,

how many hidden undercurrents are beneath the splendor, he can’t hear them, nor guess them.

Just like Le Tong, the woman appears obedient, seeming simple and innocent on the surface.

But inside, there are schemes and calculations he cannot decipher or understand.

No matter how tough work matters are, they can’t beat down Ji Rui, who has almost never stumbled in work over these years. Yet, once it involves Le Tong, his sharp-witted and resolute mind just gets stumped, failing to understand.

No wonder, it is said that the most complex, hardest to comprehend thing in the world is the human heart!

Actually, Ji Rui’s view of Le Tong until that night of the company anniversary was also of a tame and docile bunny.

Until she got drunk, and could not be asked for her home address, he had no choice but to book her a suite at the hotel. What changed his view was that she fell asleep in his arms, after groping recklessly, she uttered words that he still couldn’t forget, "What the hell kind of bed is this... so hard... really hurt me..."

That phrase also subverted her tame bunny image, and she openly revealed her fox tail, she smiled at him, stroked and pinched his face, and then he realized that his little secretary had always been eyeing his face.

And then...

Recalling how he got stirred with desires and possessiveness toward such a drunkenly charming little fox that he hadn’t felt for anyone before, Ji Rui feels tight in the throat, tips back a big gulp of alcohol, his mouth’s dryness doesn’t subside, and along with it, his whole body feels ignited by this sip, unbearably hot!

Shit!

Ji Rui cursed softly, put down the glass heavily, stood up, strode to the fridge, opened it, grabbed a bottle of chilled water, tipped back, and gulped the whole bottle, ice fragments included, down his stomach.

He seemed to hear the ice water running down his esophagus and stomach like heated red iron pipes, sizzling through, sending a burst of coolness in his belly, but the burning heat in his body didn’t diminish at all, instead, it seemed to grow hotter.

Ji Rui looked down at his pants, gritted his teeth and cursed again, "Damn it!"

Ji Rui went to the bathroom and came out afterward, tension tight on his face, pulled out his phone, walked out to the terrace, dialed a certain number while bracing the northern wind.

"Rui, that’s rare, calling me at this hour. What’s up?"

Zhuo Jiarui’s cheerful voice came over amidst music.

"Where are you?" Ji Rui asked irritably, raising a hand, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Wow, did the sun rise from the west today? Young Master Ji actually cared enough to ask about me?"

Zhuo Jiarui seemed to have drunk quite a lot, his voice incredibly excited.

"Cut the crap, where are you?"

Ji Rui asked coldly; those who know him well would know this means his patience has run out, teasing him further would provoke him.

Zhuo Jiarui on the other side of the phone, knowing his temper, gave a very straightforward answer.

"Li Ying!"

Li Ying Club is rumored to have all in-school college students as madams inside; they reportedly undergo monthly health check-ups, and there are a lot of virgins.

So the consumption there is very expensive, R City’s wealthy young men all frequently visit there. Bumping into one pleasing to the eye, they’ll spend several months playing around, and won’t lose face taking them out. They command culture, have manners, appearance, they have it all.

However, such a good place, Ji Rui has never been.

Because to him, as long as he has Ji Family in his life, it already suffices; until Ji Baby appeared, his life added a must-have item, now is the Ji Family and Ji Baby.

Women to him have always been just a symbol, seemingly having no attraction to him.

Until...

Ji Rui sat in the backseat, upset and with inexplicable malice, staring fiercely outside the car. Yet those dim sceneries, all transformed into Le Tong’s smiling face.

Damn it! If he knew thinking of her would ignite whole-body antsy fire, he would rather force himself to sleep with sleeping pills than drink alcohol and, without reason, think of her! Recall that night!

Ji Rui’s car just parked in the parking lot, when someone ran over to help him open the car door.

"Rui, you finally saw the light?!"

Just when Ji Rui got out of the car, Zhuo Jiarui reached over, teasingly hooked Ji Rui’s shoulder.

Ji Rui disdainfully brushed off his hand, "Scram, don’t use hands that have hugged that kind of woman to touch me!"

Zhuo Jiarui, however, didn’t seem to mind at all, elbowing his arm, "Fine! I won’t touch you; later I’ll find you a virgin!"
