"So, the reason why you don't let Ning Yan accompany you is because she doesn't have the status of Mrs. Ji?"

It's not that he doesn't want to.

The more Ning Zhi thought about it, the more ironic he felt.

"That doesn't really matter. Anyway, I won't be able to sit in Mrs. Ji's position for much longer. Why don't you take the newcomer over first and make everyone familiar so that we can introduce them later."

Ji Hanguang stopped walking and looked back at her, his eyes slightly sullen.

"Ning Zhi, you have to make me angry, right?"

"Then let me tell you, there is only one Mrs. Ji, so you must accompany me at this banquet."

Ning Zhi paused, "It's okay if you want me to promise you, but can you also promise me a request?"

"What?"

"After attending this banquet, please accompany me to get a divorce."

She seemed to have exhausted all her strength to say these words.

She is really tired and doesn't want to struggle in this fruitless relationship.

So, let it all end...

When Ji Hanguang heard this, his expression turned cold, "Don't make trouble."

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but when he saw Ning Zhi's serious and solemn expression, those words were stuck in his throat for a moment, and his whole body became weak in an instant.

"Do you really want a divorce?"

"You don't want to be with me that much?"

Ning Zhi did not dodge this time. She looked into his eyes and nodded heavily.

Ji Hanguang suddenly clenched his fists, as if he was unwilling to do so, but he could only say word by word: "Okay, since you want a divorce so much, then divorce."

"After the dinner, I will accompany you to go through the formalities."

Ning Zhi raised the corners of her lips and said, "Thank you."

Ji Hanguang went upstairs angrily.

In the evening of the next day, Ning Zhi changed into a dress, thinking that this would probably be the last time she appeared in public as Mrs. Ji, and dressed up carefully.

She is wearing a dark blue French dress, beautiful and elegant. Her hair is curled into a just right arc and half rolled up. A few strands of hair hang down on her shoulders, half covering her collarbone. The pearl earrings on her earlobes glow warmly under the light.

of light.

When Ji Hanguang saw Ning Zhi, he was startled.

He had always known that Ning Zhi was very beautiful, but now Ning Zhi seemed to give him a different feeling.

The woman in front of me is noble and indestructible, as if she has returned to the admired cello goddess she was in college.

Ning Zhi didn't notice his stunned look, all her attention was on her feet.

In order to match the evening dress, she wore a pair of high heels. Taking into account the baby in her belly, she walked very carefully, but walking down the stairs was still quite a challenge.

Just when Ning Zhi was being cautious, a figure suddenly fell next to him.

Ji Hanguang gently grabbed her hand and put it on his arm, "hold it steady."

Ning Zhi froze for a moment and nodded. With Ji Hanguang around, she felt much more stable.

However, the atmosphere between the two was still awkward, and other than that, there was no communication along the way.

Finally arrived at the venue of the charity dinner.

Ji Hanguang's arrival caused quite a stir, especially because he actually brought Ning Zhi with him.

You know, it is an open secret in the imperial capital that Ji Hanguang and this substitute wife are a couple on the surface. In the past, Ji Hanguang would not take Ning Zhi with him to any event, but now he is uncharacteristically doing it. What is he doing?

?

However, even though they muttered, it did not prevent them from marveling at Ning Zhi's beauty.

What's more, some clever flatterers have already stepped forward to praise the couple from all angles.

Ji Hanguang didn't like those words, but it seemed that when he praised Ning Zhi, he felt it quite well?

"I have admired Mrs. Ji's name for a long time, and finally saw her today. She is indeed a fairy-level figure just like the legend says!"

"My daughter is in the Conservatory of Music at Teito University. She has been telling me about Senior Sister Ning Zhi. She said she is both beautiful and talented. What she described is indeed correct."

Ning Zhi was surrounded and exaggerated, her face was red with embarrassment, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. However, Ji Hanguang next to him listened to this, and the corners of his mouth raised crazily, "I think so too."

Ning Zhi pretended to be angry and glared at him, but then heard those people say:

"Isn't Mrs. Ji a top student at the Conservatory of Music? In today's auction, there seems to be an antique cello, which is the most suitable match for Mrs. Ji."

Cello?

Ning Zhi's interest was aroused, but Ji Hanguang next to him remained silent.

Among the various people attending the dinner, some also looked down upon her.

A crimson figure, holding champagne in hand, passed by her and said softly.

"Isn't it just a substitute marriage? There's nothing cool about it."

"It's really disgusting to pretend to be a loving couple."

Ning Zhi looked back at her, with an oval face, a pointed chin, and big waves hanging on one shoulder. She could vaguely tell that this was a very familiar face.

"What are you looking at?"

Ji Hanguang's voice fell, and Ning Zhi quickly looked away and shook her head, "I didn't see anything."

Soon, the charity auction began.

After several regular auction items, it was finally time for the cello.

Ning Zhi watched the cello being taken out, excitedly clenched the calling sign in her hand, and unconsciously stretched her neck to take a look.

Especially after the introduction by the auction staff, she became even more excited.

It is truly a superb cello, with a classical style and mellow tone. The most important thing is that it was made by a famous master!

It’s so beautiful! She must take a photo of this cello!

"The starting price for this cello is 800,000 yuan, and the auction has officially begun!"

After the hammer went down, the auction officially began. Ning Zhi quickly raised the sign in her hand and was about to bid. Unexpectedly, someone in front of her actually bid one million first.

It's actually the same woman in the crimson dress.

However, Ning Zhi did not back down, but immediately called out the price of 1.2 million.

"Okay, 1.2 million once, 1.2 million twice..."

"Two million!"

It was still the woman who was fighting against her. Ning Zhi held the number plate and heard whispers around her, "It seems that Qian Yuan is determined to get this cello. She is actually willing to pay such a high price."

"Nonsense, I am a professional cellist, or the first cellist. I am well-known at home and abroad, so naturally I can't resist such a good piano."

"But Mrs. Ji's financial resources should not be underestimated. It depends on whether she is willing to part with it..."

That woman is actually a professional cellist.

No wonder she looks familiar. She must have been defeated by her men in previous competitions.

Ning Zhi raised the number plate in her hand and said, "Three million."
