Princess Syndrome - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Room

Su Lingyue then refuted her own idea. How could she say it was a love brain? It was because she had brought a huge problem to Ji Zhiyi. This was something that she didn't want to see. As a person, it was right and proper to feel guilty and hesitate when another person was suffering a loss because of you.

But, the things that she did would cause a loss to others.

That was what a transaction was.

Fine, she was just biased.

She just didn't want to see Ji Zhiyi suffer a loss, she didn't want her to lose Baoshun because of her. Su Lingyue was silent.

Ji Zhiyi looked at her. Su Lingyue’s silence seemed to be an acknowledgment of a certain answer.

That was, she was hesitating about whether or not to give up bringing down Su Qi?

If she hadn't hesitated, she would have told her directly that of course she wouldn't give up.

But now, she was silent.

Ji Zhiyi was stunned. What had just been a joke, caused her heart to beat faster now. Su Lingyue's feelings for her seemed to be more than she had imagined.

How could she not be excited?

Ji Zhiyi’s chin moved and she called out, "Lingyue?"

Su Lingyue turned her head, and looked at her. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Is there really no other way?"

Ji Zhiyi couldn't even hear what she was saying.

She asked blankly, "What?"

Su Lingyue said, "I said, is there really no way with Baoshun? I don’t want to see you lose Baoshun.” She was a bit unhappy, “I don’t want to see you lose Baoshun.”

Ji Zhiyi looked at her drooping head. She looked very unhappy, but for some reason, joy overflowed from her heart. That joy spread to her face. Su Lingyue looked up, and said to her, "You can still laugh at a time like this?"

Yeah.

She could actually still laugh at a time like this.

Ji Zhiyi didn't want to either. She should be going back to her room right now to make the arrangements for the takeover, and the next project. She should be calling Qi An, not sitting on the sofa, looking at Su Lingyue and smiling.

But she was really happy.

This happiness was unstoppable. She abruptly reached out and hugged Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue was surprised by her actions.

What was she doing?

Was she looking for comfort?

She was just about to pat Ji Zhiyi’s back, when she heard her say: "Don't worry too much."

Su Lingyue: ...

That was easier said than done.

The last time she had met Jiang Ya, she had had her face slapped red. Thinking that Jiang Ya would definitely be even angrier this time, she felt even more uncomfortable. Originally, she was just being held by Ji Zhiyi, but now, she hugged Ji Zhiyi's waist, wanting to meld their bodies together.

She was in a low mood: "What do you plan to do?"

Ji Zhiyi said: "I..."

Just as she was about to say something, the doorbell rang. Su Lingyue looked at Ji Zhiyi. She reluctantly let go of her, got up, straightened her clothes, and walked to the door. She looked through the peephole, and then rolled her eyes.

It was a truly unwelcome guest.

Mao Jing'an was standing at the door, playing with her hair. She had gone out for a bit this morning. When she came back, she heard that Ji Zhiyi had lost the partnership, so she had immediately called Jiang Ya to probe her. Jiang Ya’s tone wasn’t good.

Actually, she didn't like Jiang Ya very much. Although it was true that she had cultivated Ji Zhiyi, in these past few years, Ji Zhiyi had created a fortune for her that had long surpassed what she had initially contributed. She had also asked Ji Zhiyi before if she needed to leave Yilin. Lucky would welcome her back anytime. She could even give her even better terms, as long as Ji Zhiyi was willing.

Of course, she wasn't willing.

Sometimes, Mao Jing'an couldn't quite understand Ji Zhiyi. She understood that she was being used, and she was such a smart person, so how was she willing?

But when asked.

Ji Zhiyi would just say that Jiang Ya had helped her before.

Just one act of kindness was enough to make Ji Zhiyi so devoted. Mao Jing'an really hated herself for not having met Ji Zhiyi a few years earlier. Then, how would Jiang Ya be the one to have funded Ji Zhiyi?

The doorbell was rung again. The door opened.

Su Lingyue was standing inside.

Mao Jing'an frowned, didn't say anything, and asked her: "Where's Zhiyi?"

Su Lingyue said: "President Ji is inside."

Mao Jing'an brushed past her and went inside. Ji Zhiyi was sitting on the sofa. When she heard the noise, she turned her head. She saw that it was Mao Jing'an. Her expression didn't change. She said, "Wait for me for two minutes."

As she said that, she busy with her phone. She didn't know if she was sending messages or doing something else.

Mao Jing'an sat down next to her.

Su Lingyue glanced at the two of them sitting together. She walked over, and said: "Ms. Mao, would you like to drink something?"

Mao Jing'an said: "A cup of coffee, please. Thank you."

Su Lingyue smiled: "Okay. What about President Ji?"

Ji Zhiyi, hearing her use this title, looked up at her. She was silent for a few seconds. Then, using the excuse of looking at the bar, she shifted over to the side a bit, creating some distance between herself and Mao Jing'an. She said: "Warm water."

Su Lingyue agreed.

Mao Jing'an said: “This little assistant of yours, why is she here every day?”

Ji Zhiyi’s hand that was sending a message paused. She looked at Mao Jing'an and said: "We're discussing work matters."

Mao Jing'an nodded.

She then said: “I heard that you lost the collaboration with Baoshun?”

Ji Zhiyi lowered her head, smiling indifferently: "Ms. Mao's news is very well informed."

Mao Jing'an said: "I wish my news was really that well informed. Are you short on money?"

Ji Zhiyi said, "It was over budget."

Mao Jing'an said, "Then you can find someone to collaborate with. As far as I know, Su Qi is also collaborating with Dingsheng, right?"

In other words.

She was willing to collaborate with Yilin.

As long as Ji Zhiyi asked.

Ji Zhiyi said, "There’s no need."

Mao Jing'an said: "Your godmother is very angry."

Ji Zhiyi closed her phone, put it down, and looked at Mao Jing'an. She said, "I know."

Mao Jing'an asked: "Have you thought of a solution?"

Ji Zhiyi said: "I'll fly over there to look for her the day after tomorrow."

Mao Jing'an said: “Zhiyi, you know I’ve always hoped that you would come back to Lucky. This is a great opportunity.”

She could use the excuse of not being capable, and resign from Yilin.

Ji Zhiyi said: "I appreciate Ms. Mao’s kindness. However, I still have to wait for godmother’s decision.”

Mao Jing'an said, “What if she doesn't let you go?”

Su Lingyue brought them tea.

She stood to the side.

Ji Zhiyi didn’t respond to her question.

Mao Jing'an took a sip of her coffee, and said to Ji Zhiyi: "If you want to leave Yilin, I can help you."

Ji Zhiyi said, “Ms. Mao, I don’t have any plans for that right now.”

Mao Jing'an said: "It doesn't matter, there will always be a time for it. I’ll be waiting for you."

Her tone was soft, but firm. She was sure that Ji Zhiyi wouldn’t be able to withstand Jiang Ya’s torturing this time. Jiang Ya was obstinate, and she acted extremely. Ji Zhiyi and she were two opposites. It was correct that Jiang Ya had handed Yilin over to Ji Zhiyi. If it weren't for Ji Zhiyi, Yilin wouldn't have grown so quickly. But her desire to control everything was too strong. She didn’t give Ji Zhiyi any room to breathe. So Ji Zhiyi leaving Yilin was inevitable.

And she.

Hoped that Ji Zhiyi would return to Lucky.

Ji Zhiyi didn’t say much to her. Her phone rang again. Mao Jing'an wasn’t worried and said, “Then you should get busy.”

After saying that, she didn’t forget to say goodbye to Su Lingyue before leaving.

After Ji Zhiyi finished the call, she noticed that Su Lingyue's mood was still low. Although she had been in a bad mood earlier because of the Baoshun matter, it wasn't to the point that she was so listless.

She put down her phone, sat next to Su Lingyue, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Lingyue said: "Do you want to leave Yilin?"

Ji Zhiyi paused.

She didn't know why she had suddenly brought up this topic. But following her instincts, she didn’t lie to Su Lingyue, and nodded.

Su Lingyue said, "She can help you leave Yilin."

But she.

Could only hold Ji Zhiyi back.

Seeing that she was thinking about it, Ji Zhiyi chuckled.

Su Lingyue looked at her, and said, “You’re laughing again!”

Ji Zhiyi’s mood was really strange today.

Even though she had lost the partnership with Baoshun, and was being questioned by her godmother, she still seemed happy. Su Lingyue really didn’t understand. Her brows were furrowed as if she was trying to kill mosquitoes. Ji Zhiyi reached out and touched her brow, her tone calm: "Who said that only she can help me leave Yilin?"

Su Lingyue was confused: "What do you mean?"

Ji Zhiyi said, "If I want to leave Yilin, I can leave at any time."

She didn't need anyone’s help at all.

Su Lingyue said, "Then you..."

Ji Zhiyi said, "But I can't just leave."

She had promised Jiang Ya that she would dismantle Dingsheng. Even if Yilin was destroyed with it, she would still do it. She could have nothing, and Jiang Ya could too, but Su Lingyue could not.

She had to leave a way out for Su Lingyue.

Ji Zhiyi said, “Do you still remember how Zhang Xian described Su Qi?”

Su Lingyue recalled.

She murmured, "Unnecessary?"

Ji Zhiyi said: "It was to be replaced."

She said: "Su Qi will be replaced by any brand."

Su Lingyue nodded.

Ji Zhiyi said, "Then why can't you be the one to replace it?"

Su Lingyue was confused: "Me?"

Ji Zhiyi nodded: “Do you know why I purchased so many second and third-tier raw materials?"

It was enough to use for a year for a brand.

After being reminded by her.

Su Lingyue seemed to be getting the idea, but she still didn't completely understand. She tried to deduce: "So you're connecting those to Su Qi?"

She had figured it out.

Why Ji Zhiyi had pulled the price up to ninety million. Because Su Qi could only bear sixty million. The extra thirty million would cause a problem with Su Qi’s cash flow.

If at this moment, they experienced a sharp increase in sales.

Jian'gang City was so big, and when it first opened, there would definitely be a sale. When that time came, sales would increase a lot. Su Qi’s cash flow would already be difficult, and they wouldn’t be able to consume so many first-tier raw materials. As a result, if they didn't want to be out of stock, they would have to launch their second and third tier shoe line. But within a short period of time, they couldn’t produce that many second and third tier raw materials. For so many years, Su Qi had been using first-tier raw materials, and had never interacted with second and third-tier raw material suppliers. Market prices were one issue, and the length of cooperation was another.

And Ji Zhiyi had already reached an agreement with domestic second and third tier raw material suppliers. Even if these people wanted to allocate a part of their resources to Su Qi, they wouldn't be able to reach the quantity required by Su Qi.

If Su Qi wanted to get them as soon as possible, they would have to buy them from her factory at a higher price than the market price.

Seeing that she had understood, Ji Zhiyi said: "This is your start-up capital."

Su Lingyue said, "Mine?"

Ji Zhiyi said: “Mm, yours. The capital you'll use to bring down Su Qi.”

Su Lingyue straightened up, and looked at Ji Zhiyi. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She had never thought that someone would meticulously plan for her, and ask nothing in return.

That person would rather have nothing, as long as she had a way out.

Su Lingyue was silent.

Ji Zhiyi teased her, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

Su Lingyue said, “Ji Zhiyi, why are you being so good to me?”

She said something shocking: "Did my mom’s soul possess you?"

Ji Zhiyi: ...

She was helpless: “Yes, your mom is telling you to read less.”

Su Lingyue also thought that this idea was absurd.

It was absurd to an outrageous degree.

She said, "Then why are you being so good to me?"

Ji Zhiyi said, "Because, I like you."

She looked at Su Lingyue, her gaze soft. She had kept this "I like you" hidden in her heart for so many years. Finally, she could say it out loud and with a reason. Su Lingyue met her gaze, and was momentarily speechless.

Of course, she knew that Ji Zhiyi liked her.

She also liked Ji Zhiyi.

Otherwise, why would they be giving it a try?

But it was different.

Her “I like you” seemed to have crossed mountains and rivers, just to get to her side, to whisper: “I like you.”

Su Lingyue’s eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She blinked. Ji Zhiyi, seeing her silent, asked: “Why are you…”

Su Lingyue took a step and sat on her lap, cupping her cheeks. Before Ji Zhiyi could finish speaking, Su Lingyue kissed her.

She looked up at Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue's eyes were watery. She tilted her head to look at her, her gaze falling onto Ji Zhiyi’s thin lips. Ji Zhiyi’s thin lips parted slightly, as if waiting to be plucked. Su Lingyue lowered her head, and bit onto Ji Zhiyi's thin lips.

The ensuing softness and sweetness enveloped them, like a tightly woven net. They rolled around inside it, the more entangled they were, the tighter the net became. It tied them together tightly. Su Lingyue bit Ji Zhiyi's thin lips urgently and fiercely. Her tongue, her sweetness, she did her best to take every inch of air from Ji Zhiyi. Ji Zhiyi tilted her head slightly, enduring Su Lingyue's storm.

The net broke open a hole.

The two let go of their bitten lips, leaving a small gap. Su Lingyue’s forehead was pressed against Ji Zhiyi's, panting lightly: "Shall we go to the room?"
