Mr Wayward

Chapter 20

Gossip Ji Changning is not used to being alone at home. He planned to go out to find friends or simply go to a nearby city for a few days, but the cats and dogs at home stumbled him. If he left, who would feed them.

He can be regarded as understanding why some people say that having pets is an extra burden, and if you want to travel, you have to find a way to settle them first.

Dabai will take him out for a walk every other day, obviously there is enough space at home for him to move around, Ji Changning will also take him for a walk in the villa area, but Dabai still yearns for the outside world, he hasn’t gone out for a few days, Dabai A little anxious at home, it tried every means to bite off the dog leash hanging on the wall, and then handed it to Ji Changning, beckoning him to take him out to play.

Ji Changning's heart relented. After sloppy dinner, he drove the dog out. They took a walk on the Binjiang Road in the city. This is where the servants usually take Dabai's dog for a walk. Ji Changning used to only walk near his home.

Finally able to go out, Dabai was visibly happy, they also met several dogs on the way, Dabai greeted them enthusiastically, his tail was almost thrown into the sky.

It turned out to be out to meet old friends.

Ji Changning laughed. He carried a messenger bag with water and snacks in it. After walking for a while, Ji Changning sat on a stone pier by the side of the road to watch the river view. The autumn wind gradually picked up in October and the temperature was very cool. He closed his eyes Feel the rustling of leaves in the evening wind.

Dabai was dissatisfied with his laziness, so he yelled at his feet several times, and pushed Ji Changning's feet with his head.

Ji Changning took out Dabai's freeze-dried snacks from his bag, poured a few into his hands and coaxed Dabai to eat, "Sit down for a while and rest, look at how beautiful the night scene is." Linlin, you can see the local landmark towers in the distance.

Ji Changning likes this city very much. Ever since he left his hometown and came to Jiangcheng, he has been attracted by this modern and rich city.

"Huh? Is this Dabai?" A girl's voice sounded in front of Ji Changning. When he came back to his senses, he saw a young man and woman standing in front of him holding an Alaska.

Ji Changning didn't know them, but Dabai's wagging tail was enough to show their familiarity, so he greeted them with a smile: "Good evening, you guys are here to walk the dog too."

"It turned out to be Dabai. I looked a bit like it, and thought I was mistaken." The girl smiled brightly, knelt down and touched Dabai's head, and her partner nodded to Ji Changning.

"It's the first time I've seen you. It used to be another girl who came to walk the dog."

"I'm usually busy at work, and my family members are taking care of Dabai."

"Oh I got it."

They exchanged a few words, and the couple held hands to bid farewell to Ji Changning. Alaska still looked back at them reluctantly, Dabai barked softly, and looked at Ji Changning with even more resentful eyes.

"Okay, let's go, let's go for a walk." Ji Changning stood up unhurriedly, and walked slowly with the dog. There are too many couples walking at night, and most of them walk together , They either put their arms around each other, or interlocked their fingers, with an intimate attitude and a smile on their faces.

There is only a dog beside Ji Changning.

He looked down at Dabai, and said softly, "Single dog, are you envious?"

During the walk, Ji Changning received a message from the housekeeper. The housekeeper reported to him that he would go back early. Although Ji Changning was a little surprised, he didn't ask any further questions, and only replied: "That's great, it's a mess without you at home. into a ball."

In fact, Ji Changning is doing well. He recalled that the security in this villa area is very tight. He has never heard of anyone's house being stolen in all these years, and there is a guard dog in his house.

Although the dog is a bit silly.

It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the housekeeper came back, Ji Changning was still taking a nap in the bedroom, the housekeeper looked around, the house was quiet and there was no sound at all, he knew that Ji Changning gave all the servants a holiday, but the surprise was that the house was not as chaotic as imagined, He originally thought that Ji Changning didn't even know how to clean up the trash, after all, this master has never touched the spring water with his five fingers.

Although several pillows on the sofa were piled up in the corner, and the vase on the table was left unattended, the flowers in it had turned yellow. In the past, a new bouquet of flowers would be replaced every morning, and a bunch of keys were taken care of by someone. Put it on the shelf casually, the housekeeper can guarantee that Ji Changning will be looking for it all over the house in a short time, the placement of books on the shelf has also changed, a comic is inserted in the middle of the magazine, and so on.

But the housekeeper was very pleased with the tidy interior at first glance.

Yes, his expectations for Ji Changning are just that low.

Compared with the outside yard, the typhoon has blown down a lot of leaves, which are scattered on the stone road at this time. The root system of a metasequoia planted just this year has not yet been fixed, and the trunk is a little crooked by the wind.

The butler rolled up his sleeves and set to work on these matters.

Ji Changning slept for a long time this time, because the secretary contacted him last night and said that there was an accident in the project at hand, so he had to stay up all night to deal with it, but even if he was willing to work overtime, it might not be effective, and it was difficult to contact the counterparty during the holiday , He only slept for three or four hours and rushed to the company early in the morning. After a busy work, Party A called to apologize and said that the matter had been resolved.

Ji Changning was so angry that his head hurt. After returning home, he didn't have time to eat lunch, so he got into the bed to catch up on sleep. While walking, he ordered takeaway on his mobile phone, and then heard the butler's voice.

"Oh, Mr. Ji, you've woken up." The housekeeper greeted him, "Dinner is ready, and I'm going to call you."

"Ah, you're back." Ji Changning was a little surprised. The housekeeper was wearing a blue apron, and it was obvious that he was still busy in the kitchen just now. "Why do you need to cook specially? In fact, I can just order takeaway." He was a little displeased Sorry, their family has a clear division of labor, and the housekeeper usually doesn't need to do everything by himself, but because there is no one else in the family, he has to do it himself.

"It's okay, I'm idle, I just hope you don't dislike my craftsmanship." The butler smiled. Of course, he said this in a modest way. As a professional butler, he is omnipotent. He went to the kitchen to serve the dishes Go to the dining table, and then go to the living room to continue cleaning.

Ji Changning asked him to rest. He knew that the housekeeper could not come back. Even if he came back from country M in advance, the housekeeper could continue to enjoy the vacation instead of being busy here.

The butler said don't worry, I'll be happier if I have something to do.

"Okay." Ji Changning knew that the butler was serious, maybe something happened that caused the butler to paralyze himself with work.

Ji Changning came up with an idea that maybe the housekeeper was as homeless as he was, but he quickly put this idea behind him.

In fact, Ji Changning was right. The housekeeper was really troubled now. He went to country M to visit his daughter and ex-wife, as well as his daughter's fiancé and ex-wife's current husband. They had a meal together, and the atmosphere was polite and alienated. He thought sadly, he is a superfluous person, they are a family.

The ex-wife said angrily, "Hey, are you getting old and going to lose your job? Why don't you go back and serve your master?"

The housekeeper was very sad, and he returned to the country soon, to a place that needed him.

Ji Changning's short life of living alone is over, the servants are coming back one after another, the house is gradually getting back to order, and his boring vacation is over.

Ji Changning started his busy work. This is his "peak season" of the year. Last month's work was postponed due to the coming of the National Day, and autumn is already busy. He has personal affairs to deal with, so various All kinds of things piled up and made people feel overwhelmed.

His private affairs refer to going back to his hometown on Chongyang to worship his ancestors. This is the only day he will return to his hometown. If he is not welcome, there is no need for him to put a hot face on a cold ass.

The busy work leaves Ji Changning no time to care about other things, such as his fucking love.

Shen Yichen also knew that he was relatively busy during this period, so they tacitly agreed not to disturb each other, and since they finished the "two-person world", they have no contact with each other.

Overtime work has become a daily routine, and lunch break is a time for the company's employees to relax. Ji Changning is an easy-going boss. As a condolence, he invites people in the office to drink milk tea every day.

The little secretary is a star-chaser and is keen on all kinds of gossip information. When she is resting, she likes to scroll through Weibo. When she sees a popular gossip, the little secretary takes two sips of milk tea and sighs.

Ji Changning looked funny and asked her what interesting things she saw.

The little secretary shook the phone screen in front of Ji Changning, "Jiang Xiaoyuan is in a relationship, and it is said that the partner is very rich."

Ji Changning said casually: "Isn't this normal? People don't like mediocre men, at least they are..." His words stopped abruptly.

The little secretary put the phone back and looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter, what is it?"

Ji Changning smiled slightly: "It's a big star."

Jiang Xiaoyuan has been in the limelight recently, and Ji Changning knows her because she is an artist of Xingchen. Since Qiao Sisi terminated the contract, they have found a successor, and they hope that Jiang Xiaoyuan can become the new first sister.

The little secretary murmured: "That's right, she has great resources. She used to play a lot of female supporting roles, and suddenly she became a leading heroine. If only I were so lucky to have her in my little wall."

Ji Changning said casually: "After all, he is the person whom Xingchen strongly admires. Okay, don't keep checking Weibo, go to work."

"No way." The little secretary glanced at the time and lamented, "Happy time always flies so fast."

Ji Changning went back to the office with the planning book in his hand, but he didn't read it for a long time.

He tapped the table with his fingers a few times, and finally couldn't help his curiosity. He opened Weibo and found the Weibo that the secretary showed him. In fact, he didn't need to look for it, it was quite obvious on the hot search The first one.

The Weibo title was "Jiang Xiaoyuan had a tryst with a man in the middle of the night", and the picture was accompanied by two blurry photos, which were clearly taken secretly by paparazzi in the distance.

In the first picture, Jiang Xiaoyuan slightly raised his head to look at the man with a sweet smile, but Jiang Xiaoyuan blocked the figure of the man.

The second picture is their back view. They get off a Rolls-Royce, a man and a woman are holding arms intimately. Of course, there is still no man's face in this picture.

But this is not difficult for Ji Changning, even if he turns into ashes, he still recognizes that mysterious boyfriend as Shen Yichen. They have been together for so long that he can recognize someone with only one background.

Ji Changning twitched the corner of his mouth, clicked on the comment section and started eating melons.

"Congratulations sister, a happy marriage for a hundred years, be happy."

"Sneak shot again, the paparazzi is disgusting."

"Who is this man? He's so tall. It looks good from his back."

"real or fake?"

"Do you bother with the hot searches every day, marketing guy."

When I clicked on the comment, some insiders revealed that the man was the son of a wealthy family, and Balabala fabricated a lot of information.

Ji Changning went back and read this Weibo from the beginning, and found that the photo was taken during the National Day holiday. Ji Changning remembered that Shen Yichen seemed to have told him that he was going to a banquet. It is normal to bring a female companion on such an occasion.

So what if it was a tryst?

The secretary came in after knocking on the door, and wanted to discuss work matters with him, so he got down to business and forgot about it when he got busy.

He didn't think about it until before going to bed at night. At this time, the trending search had already gone down. Ji Changning browsed the comment area for a while, and the netizens' guesses became more and more outrageous. Ji Changning yawned and went to sleep.

When eating breakfast the next day, Ji Changning went to Weibo to search again, but the hot search had disappeared, and he couldn't find it even if he changed the keywords, so he told the housekeeper to ask him to bring the newspaper over to read.

Shen Yichen subscribes to newspapers every day at home. Ji Changning seldom reads them. The housekeeper will bind up the week's newspapers. Ji Changning will only go through them if he is free on weekends.

The housekeeper put the newspaper on the table, and Ji Changning flipped through the newspaper while gnawing on fried dough sticks, only to find that the entertainment page had been taken away.

Still wanting to see Shen Yichen report, Ji Changning felt a little pity.

After Ji Changning went out, the housekeeper sent a text message to Shen Yichen: "Mr. Ji seems to have discovered the scandal between you and Miss Jiang."

After a while, Shen Yichen called back and asked, "What's Changning's reaction?"

The housekeeper said honestly: "He didn't say anything, but I looked in a bad mood."

Shen Yichen snorted coldly, "It's all nonsense, write something indiscriminately."

The butler let out a sigh, "That's right."
