Chapter 121 Becoming Mediocre
This jewelry was not packed by Cui Jing, nor was it on the list of items she counted for the moving company. Among the trivial accessories, the protagonist is undoubtedly: the jadeite violet bracelet from Zhongmao Auction House. It is obvious who made it.
"Don't you like the bracelet I gave you?" Zhai Yang said, looking at her wrist.
He didn’t bring the bracelet he bought from Yongle Auction House for her birthday... Didn’t he like it?
"I like this color." Cui Jing then asked, "What about her?"
Zhai Yang paused for a moment before reacting and asked Fan Ci'en, "She has a mental illness and has been taken home by her family to recuperate. She won't come to disturb your life anymore."
"She won't come out again?"
Zhai Yang was often surprised by her sharpness and sharp words, which were too straightforward. "No. She is already... useless. She took drugs that she shouldn't have taken."
"I see."
……
The wedding preparations were carried out in an orderly manner. Usually, the preparations take several months to a year. Choosing the venue, planning the theme, purchasing wedding dresses, and entertaining guests would take at least several months. However, the Zhai family was financially strong and gave the green light all the way, so the wedding after the New Year was not rushed.
Zhai Yang did not announce his divorce, but only announced that he would hold a wedding ceremony. For such a wealthy family, the first wedding was simple in scale. The reason was justified.
Cui Jing doesn't sleep as well as before and doesn't have as much energy during the day as before.
Zhai Yang looked at her condition and was a little worried. However, the doctor suggested that Cui Jing should engage in appropriate social activities and activities to consume energy during the day and help her fall asleep at night. If she could fall asleep on her own, it would be best not to take sleeping pills.
Zhai Yang went with her to a store to order wedding rings, and after choosing a wedding dress, they went out to eat.
The dim lights in the restaurant reminded him of some ambiguous nights. Zhai Yang couldn't help but touch his glands. He smiled a little embarrassedly. His distant face showed such a smile, which was amazing. He had something to discuss with Cui Jing today.
"In a few days, I will bring my father-in-law..." He changed his words: "Bring my parents and brother to live with us, and let's celebrate the New Year together this year."
Zhai Yang's palms were sweating, and he had never noticed that he had this problem before.
"Hmm?" Cui Jing hesitated for less than a second before coming back to her senses.
She was thinking about other people, and when Zhai Yang lowered his head, his eyes suddenly became cold.
"It's up to you." Cui Jing picked up the only staple food on the table: a bite-sized portion of fried rice. Zhai Yang put square beef cubes sprinkled with nuts and black pepper on her plate, in line with her habit of adding meat to her meals.
After trying on the wedding dress, she kept her makeup on. The mascara made her eyelashes look unusually thick and curled. Her hair was rarely tied up, and her casual attire was a crescent-white show-style dress.
The laurel wreath of the gods descended upon her.
"Does it suit your taste?" How can a person have such long eyelashes?
"Well, not bad." Cui Jing drank a bowl of black truffle cream mushroom soup, which was fragrant and without the astringency of mushrooms. Half full, she dragged the large piece of precious fruit bread in front of her and spread butter on it.
After applying the paste, he realized that he might not be able to finish it, so he cut it in half and put it on Zhai Yang's plate with a fork.
He was stunned.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise. Zhai Yang tasted the feeling in his heart. It was a very warm and weak emotional change.
"sorry."
Cui Jing looked at him.
"Because of me, this accident happened." Zhai Yang rarely apologized, but he blurted out when his mind was hot. He saw Cui Jing's expression changed, not much, but the slightly curved arc at the end of her eyes became straight, just a slight change, the whole face was unusually distant and cold.
He wanted to say something to make amends...but suddenly there was only silence.
When he works now, he still sighs at how cute a photo is when he sees it in the small viewport. But when he realizes that it is dead, there is endless silence.
Even if the cat didn't scratch his arm and bite his fingers with its sharp teeth, he still liked cats very much. A deep through-scar was left on the back of his hand during playtime. All the others disappeared except this one.
He had no remedy:
"I buried Buhei in the cemetery."
Cui Jing stood up and walked out.
Zhai Yang chased after him.
He screwed up today.
But she was tired during the day and slept better at night. Later, when he asked Cui Jing if she could attend some activities with him, she no longer objected.
Zhai Yang held Cui Jing's hand and attended the event with great fanfare. Reporters took photos, and financial newspapers and entertainment news were all discussing it.
When Cui Jing goes out, she has bodyguards who are responsible for her "safety" at all times. When she is at home or in the office, she can freely go in and out of every corner. Zhai Tianyu often comes to Cui Jing in the name of comforting her as a big brother.
Xie Jin also often came to the company to have some childish conversations with her. Regarding her upcoming second marriage, to Zhai Yang, Xie Jin had other ideas:
"Do you like me a little bit?"
"Huh? No." Cui Jing in the office turned a page of a book.
"What about love?" He didn't give up.
"That's even less true."
"Would you love me if I had no ill will towards you from the beginning?" he continued to ask stubbornly.
"will not."
Xie Jin thought hard and came up with an answer: "Because of him? Xue Yijie?" Because you like him, because you have someone you like, so you don't like me?
"No." Cui Jing said:
"Because I don't love you."
"I can ruin your wedding. I know you don't like him!" Xie Jin wanted to do something, "Sister, I still owe you two chances." Although he would probably get beaten by his brother if he made a scene at the wedding, his sister hated Zhai Yang so much, so there was no hope for him! He could see it clearly. And he didn't want her to get married.
"I don't want to leave you, Sister Cui. If I can't always look after you, it would be like death!" he said hurriedly.
His stalking habit has gotten worse.
Cui Jing could always see him watering the plants downstairs when she opened the window at home, and sometimes he would discuss with the gardener while holding a pair of scissors.
She touched more things that had been tampered with around her, hair bands, earrings, and mainly the locator. She put those things back in place and tied the hair band on her head. No one stopped his habit. His habit was like a self-pollinating hermaphroditic flower in a greenhouse, which produced more evil seeds in a mild environment, and then spread them into fertile soil to grow evil spores.
Cui Jing closed the book:
"You mean, you're willing to die just to stay with me."
The air freezes.
"Hmm?" Jokingly: "Don't you want to?"
Some of the words that came out of her mouth had an impact on Li Jin's brain.
It was his first time to come into contact with death. He had no fear for life. He stabbed the knife into the eyes of the girl who was following him. At that time, he knew that his action might cause death, but he still took it as a punishment and vent. This was the death threat he brought to others;
The second time he came into contact with death, an Alpha attacked him at night. He was unprepared and his life was forced by violence and sex. This was a death threat brought to him by others.
The third time he came into contact with death, it was a Beta who fought back, and it was a two-way threat.
He became afraid of death and could no longer talk about it lightly. He also became more timid, like a man who was never afraid of dogs, but after being bitten, all the dogs he passed by were traumatized.
He is so timid.
He had never felt for a moment that he was not worthy of her.
He is now an infertile Omega, and she is a Beta who cannot make a woman pregnant. The probability of a Beta getting pregnant is very low, but not very low. If she wants to have a family and children, he has no hope. What can he do to keep her? In addition to the loss of fertility, he also has no power, freedom, wealth, and only his brother. It seems that he has never grown up...
Then he could only keep looking at her...
He couldn't even lose the chance to look at her. He wanted her not to get married and wanted to stay with her.
Jie Jin sniffed the scent around her with fascination. He searched through all the fragrances but couldn't find the same smell. Why couldn't everyone smell it?
Only this kind of fragrance could cover up the strange smell on his body. Only this kind of fragrance could make him forget the disgusting smell on his body.
He sat up straight and nodded vigorously: "I do."
"Madam." Secretary Tang came over with a cup of tea.
She didn't have to make tea herself, but she came anyway. Cui Jing's preference had not changed, and her subtle expression showed that she was satisfied with the tea. She looked the same as before, without any changes. Her dry lips made her more beautiful, and they became plump after being moistened by the tea. Her raised hand was wearing a large carat diamond ring.
Tang An Nian felt that she seemed to have surrendered.
——become mediocre.
Her eyes were suddenly pierced by the light of the ring.
