Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 329 Bottom Line (39)

That day, Zhou Yian called Ji Xiao again before leaving get off work and said that he would come back to pick her up after get off work.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiao said to Sister Wang, "Sister Wang, please help me carry the fruit basket to the door. I'm going to change my clothes. I want to go out with my husband later."

Sister Wang nodded and replied, "Okay, Madam, do you need me to take you downstairs?"

Ji Xiao smiled and replied, "No, thank you, Sister Wang, Yian will come to pick me up." Then she turned and walked towards the bedroom, preparing to change her clothes for going out.

Not long after, Ji Xiao walked out of the room, wearing a lavender round-neck dress and a snow-white cloak.

Since she was going to visit someone else's home, Ji Xiao simply put on some light makeup, lightly drew her eyebrows, and applied a layer of light flesh-pink lip gloss, making her look particularly fresh and natural.

Nowadays, all the cosmetics and skin care products used by Ji Xiao are made by her personally, ensuring that the products are pure natural and free of any polluting ingredients. Therefore, she is not worried at all about using skin care products or cosmetics with bad ingredients.

It was already 5:30 in the afternoon, and Zhou Yian called Ji Xiao again, saying that he had finished work and was preparing to go home.

It was expected that she would be home in five minutes. After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiao informed Sister Wang and went out with the fruit basket.

She took the elevator downstairs, and when the elevator door slowly opened, Ji Xiao saw Zhou Yian standing quietly outside the door waiting for her.

"Didn't you say it would take about five minutes?"

Zhou Yian hurried forward, took the fruit basket and bag from Ji Xiao, and put his arm around her waist, saying gently, "It's not the end of the year anymore, most people have gone home, there aren't many cars on the road, and I'm driving, so I'm here earlier than expected."

While talking, Zhou Yian carefully protected Ji Xiao as they walked out of the gate of the apartment building. He first put the fruit basket on the back seat, then helped Ji Xiao get into the car, and carefully fastened her seat belt before going to the driver's seat and starting the car.

Along the way, the two happily talked about various topics and laughed constantly.

"We're here." At this moment, Zhou Yian parked the car steadily in front of an apartment building.

Zhou Yian slowly stopped the car and got out quickly. He closed the door, then walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, stretched out his hands, and steadily helped Ji Xiao out of the car.

Then, he escorted Ji Xiao to the apartment building and let her sit down to rest before turning around and parking the car in an empty parking space. Afterwards, Zhou Yian returned to Ji Xiao with Ji Xiao's bag and fruit basket. He gently put his free hand around Ji Xiao's waist, carefully protecting her, and entered the apartment building with her.

The two took the elevator to Fang Yuan's door. After Zhou Yian pressed the doorbell, the two stood quietly outside the door waiting.

The door was opened from the inside, and Fang Yuan appeared at the door. Seeing the two people outside, he smiled and said, "Come in quickly. You two are the only ones who haven't arrived yet."

Ji Xiao said politely: "Uncle Fang, sorry to bother you."

Zhou Yian also said: "Master, I am going back to pick up Xiaoxiao."

Fang Yuan didn't say anything else, but warmly invited Ji Xiao in and said to her: "Xiaoxiao, come in quickly, don't stand at the door, it's very cold outside now."

Ji Xiao nodded slightly to express her gratitude, then followed them in. Zhou Yian quietly followed the two of them in, carrying his things.

As soon as she entered the house, Ji Xiao was attracted by a strong fragrance. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Fang Yuan smiled and explained, "Haha, your aunt is cooking in the kitchen. You don't know that Ke Li has been talking about missing you all this time."

Hearing this, Ji Xiao's smile grew even wider.

Ji Xiao responded with a smile: "They should be on vacation now, they can come and play with me then." After saying that, she and Zhou Yian looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Yian helped Ji Xiao walk to the sofa and sat down, then took a pillow and placed it behind Ji Xiao. Then he turned to Fang Yuan and said, "Master, I took the fruit to the kitchen to wash it, and by the way, I'll see if there's anything I can help with."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Your mistress will be happy to see you." Fang Yuan waved his hand, motioning him to go over. Zhou Yian nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Walking into the kitchen, Zhou Yian found it was a bustling scene. Except for his master's wife, everyone else was helping to prepare meals.

He smiled and said to Li Xiaole, "Master's wife, let me help you." Then he reached out to help.

Li Xiaole quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Yian, just go sit down and have a rest. We don't need your help here."

Others also echoed: "That's right, we are here, we don't need you."

Zhou Yian smiled helplessly, then said, "Okay, but I still have some fruits here." As he spoke, he raised the fruit basket in his hand.

The master's wife took the fruit basket and said happily, "Just right, there's not much fruit left at home. Is your wife here?"

Zhou Yian replied: "Yes, I am here, chatting with Master outside."

The master's wife smiled and nodded, and asked Zhou Yian to wash the fruit first and take it out. Zhou Yian picked up the fruit and walked to the sink to the side to start washing it.

While Zhou Yian and Li Xiaole were talking, Ye Xin, who was helping to wash vegetables, had a flash of emotion in her eyes, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.

In fact, ever since she started working with Zhou Yian, she has gradually become attracted to this man.

However, when she learned that he was married and was about to have a child, she inevitably felt a little unwilling. Especially this time, when she heard that Zhou Yian's wife was coming, she couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to see with her own eyes who this woman who could conquer the proud Zhou Yian was.

After all, she had been at the Xingcheng District Court for such a long time, but she had never seen the legendary Zhou Yian's wife. Her knowledge of this person was limited to the few words Zhou Yian occasionally mentioned.

At the same time, Fang Keli, who was doing homework in the room, immediately put down the pen in her hand after hearing Ji Xiao's voice, and ran out of the room impatiently.

She was seen smiling as she trotted over to Ji Xiao, hugged her arms tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Little sister! You are finally here!"

Ji Xiao smiled softly, gently touched Fang Keli's head, and said, "Well, I'm here. And I also brought you your favorite fruit, you can eat more later."

Fang Keli looked at Ji Xiao and smiled, "Hehe, thank you, sister. I will definitely eat more to live up to your kindness."

At this time, Fang Yuan, who was sitting on the single sofa, joked: "You only see your little sister, but not your father."

"Oh, Dad, I can see you every day, but I can't see my little sister every time." Fang Keli explained with her big eyes blinking.

"Why?" Fang Yuan asked in pretended confusion.

"You see, my sister is pregnant now, so it's definitely not easy for her to go out much. Besides, she also has work to do, so I can't disturb her too much. Besides, I also have to go to school." Fang Keli answered seriously.

Ji Xiao touched Fang Keli's head and said, "Keli is so good. When the babies come out, let them play with you."

Fang Keli listened and said seriously: "Sister, you can't play with newborn babies yet. They are too young and prone to getting sick and injured."

Fang Yuan continued to joke after hearing this: "Oh, our girl knows these things."

Fang Keli raised her head and replied proudly: "Of course not."

At this time, Zhou Yian came out with a fruit plate and said with a smile, "Eat some fruit, but eat less. It's time to eat."

Fang Keli nodded obediently, then pulled Ji Xiao aside to start chatting.

Zhou Yian placed the fruit plate on the coffee table and sat down next to Ji Xiao. Looking at the two chatting happily, a smile appeared on his face.

After a while, the meal was ready.

Everyone helped to bring the dishes to the table and prepared to eat.

Fang Yuan asked everyone to take a seat. Zhou Yian naturally pulled out a chair for Ji Xiao and waited for her to sit down before he took his seat.

Ye Xin saw all of this, and she couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

During this time, Ye Xin looked at Zhou Yian from time to time, wanting to communicate with him, but when she found that Zhou Yian's eyes were always on Ji Xiao, her eyes couldn't help but dim.

Only then did she accept the reality, but she was not the kind of person who would destroy someone else's family, so she buried her thoughts deep in her heart.

After dinner, Zhou Yian and Ji Xiao said goodbye to Fang Yuan and his wife, and then left the Fang family together.

In the car, Zhou Yian hugged Ji Xiao tightly and said gently: "Wife, thank you for accompanying me to Master's house today."

Ji Xiao smiled and responded, "Why are you being so polite to me? Besides, Uncle Fang helps you a lot with your work. We should visit each other more often."
