The moon is really round tonight

  The moon is really round tonight (Spring Breeze No. 1)

  Gu Shallow Cong was reading a magazine in the living room, still some time before dinner. She hadn't sat for long when her neck started to ache, so she got up and went back to her room to rest. She didn't expect to actually fall asleep, and it was a deep sleep. During this time, she felt someone come in, an icy finger tracing across her cheek, gentle and cautious, knowing it was harmless, so she didn't wake up. The person stood by the bed for a moment before turning around and leaving.

  Ji Jiang returned to the dining hall and said, "You fell asleep, let's eat first."

  Ji Ming said: "Qian Ning's injury hasn't fully healed yet, let her rest more. When she wakes up, have the kitchen make something for her to eat."

  Jian Bai said: "Alright, let's talk about it when she wakes up." He invited An Zi to eat more.

  Ji Jiang had been away on a business trip for several days. In the meantime, a lot of work had piled up at the company. The two of them chatted nonstop until nightfall before finally emerging from the study.

  Anzi is a clever person, as soon as she went downstairs, she hugged Jianbai's shoulder and said she was hungry, saying that the food at the Ji's house is the best.

  "Then you can come and eat every day, we won't be bothered."

  Anzi glanced at Jijiang with a profound gaze and said with a hint of annoyance, "Auntie told me to come eat here every day, won't you get tired of it?"

  Ji Jiang gazed at her quietly, without saying a word.

  Anzi said to Jianbai, "Auntie, Jiangying's temper is really bad."

  Jian Bai nodded: "This is indeed true, his temper is not as good as Jiang Ran's." He pulled her hand: "Let's go, aren't you hungry from arguing? Let's go eat."

  The dinner table was also missing Yan Ruyu, who had been staying at her parents' house for the past few days. She was in a bad mood and lied that she wasn't feeling well, so she went home to rest for a few days. Moreover, with the wedding approaching, a girl's emotions might be more complicated. Considering this, the Ji family let it slide.

  Ji Mingyu asked Ji Jiangying, "How's your busy work going? Once Jiang Ran's wedding is over, yours will be next in line for preparation. There are many trivial things to take care of, so you should start thinking about it now."

  Ji Jiangying raised her eyes: "I know."

  Anzi felt a bit tasteless and poked at the rice in her bowl, forcing down some of it.

  There was still some work that hadn't been finished, so after dinner Jianbai pulled Qingmingyu out for a walk, and Anzi analyzed followed Qingjiangying into the study.

  It took more than an hour of busy work to finally wrap things up. Some decisive matters were reported by her, and now all that's left is for Ji Jiangying to make a decision, and there will be nothing else for her to do.

  Ji Jiangying glanced at the time and rubbed her eyes, saying: "It's getting late, you should head back."

  Anzi stood still, she wasn't being arbitrary, occasionally she also wanted to say a word from her heart.

  "Jiang Ying, if Gu Qian Ning wasn't the daughter of Hua Yu's family elder, would you still want to marry her?"

  Ji Jiangying narrowed his eyes, the room was lit with a white lamp, which was Ji Jiangying's favorite color, shining on his profile, handsome as Asura.

  He was originally holding a file folder, but when she asked this way, he threw it on the office desk, tapped his fingers twice on the desktop, and said casually: "Is such an assumption meaningful?"

  It was meaningless in the past, but it's hard to say for the future.

  "Go ahead and ask, no need to take it seriously. Alright, you're busy, I'll leave first."

  I ran into Gu Qian Ning on my way downstairs, she had just woken up and was wearing her pajamas to come find something to eat.

  Anzi saw her under the building downstairs, quietly and without anyone around, calling out to her; "Gu Shallow Condensation..."

  Gu Shallow stopped in her tracks without looking at her.

  Anzi let out a cold hum and said with a gentle breeze, "Gu Shallow Cong, don't think that just because you're the daughter-in-law chosen by the Ji family, you're someone special. In Jiang Ying's heart, you're nothing but a lifeless decoration."

  This is exactly what I'm talking about!

  She can say such a thing, this woman is always pretending to be innocent every day. Gu Shallow Cong every time she sees her, either plays the victim or pretends to be gentle and mature. She never dares to speak harsh words in front of people or behind their backs. Unless her contempt for her has reached a certain level, she doesn't take her seriously at all, and she won't be foolish enough to argue with others.

  Gu Shallow Cong was also curious, An Zixi was wondering if he had taken the wrong medicine? He glanced out of the hall and sighed: "The moon is really round tonight."

  Anzi looked puzzled for a moment, and then asked her: "What do you mean?"

  Gu Shallowcong smiled and looked over: "Last month, on the night of the full moon, someone slandered me like this, and later he died."

  Anzi couldn't help but want to scold her for being crazy, seeing her smile was shallow, yet her face was eerie and terrifying. She gave her a cold glance and didn't say anything else, walking straight downstairs.

  Gu Shallow Cong called out to her: "You wait a minute, who allowed you to leave?"

  "Anzi turned around: 'What else do you want?'"

  Gu Shallowing has already started dialing and quickly connected; "Ji Jiangying, willing to gamble and lose, you won't welch on the debt, will you?"

  Ji Jiangying asked her: "What's wrong?"

  "Your little bird is looking for trouble, saying you married me just as a decoration. Your secretary is too diligent, even analyzing this for you, I'm relieved for you. But she's interfering with my business, what do you plan to do?"

  Anzi's face turned white, she didn't expect Gu Qianniang to make a phone call in front of her to tattle, it was too obvious and too childish.

  "Gritting her teeth: 'Gu Shallow Cong, is this all you're capable of?'"

  Gu Shallow Cong told her very clearly: "I simply don't have the ability."

  Ji Jiangying had already come out of the study, his expression unreadable.

  Gu Shallow glanced at him lightly and said, "Take your people away from me. She's losing face for you, Young Master Ji."

  Ji Jiang's expression seemed to have genuinely turned angry, and he silently pulled An Zi Xi's hand as they walked out of the hall, as if he was about to throw her out.

  Anzi was getting anxious and kept calling out: "Jiangying..."

  She walked all the way outside, and Ji Jiangying let her go. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at him lightly: "An Zixi was right, you really are quite worthless like this."

  Anzi's eyes widened and her mouth moved slightly.

  "What did you say?"

  Ji Jiang said coldly: "I'm saying you're really losing value."

  Anzi was so angry that she almost choked to death, her fingers clenched tightly on the package, glaring at him fiercely before turning around and leaving in a huff.

  Ji Jiangying turned back, Gu Qianqian was sitting on the sofa preparing to eat instant noodles. Before they were cooked, she sat with her knees tucked in, waiting. The smell of instant noodles was overwhelming, filling the entire living room. He also went over and sat down.

  "How can this be at home?" The Ji family never ate such junk food, and neither did the others with Ji Jiang Ran. They were all big men, living a high-quality life, and from young to old, they had never had such things at home.

  Gu Shallow Condensation rested her chin on the curved knee, a pair of eyes staring at the instant noodles on the tea table with a look of longing, one hand holding chopsticks and looking up in anticipation.

  "Haven't seen him: 'Bought from the supermarket. Want some? Can sell you a pack.'"

  Ji Jiangying snorted with laughter: "Even if you gave me a whole truckload of this stuff for free, I wouldn't be interested."

  "Gu Shallow Cong teased him: 'What do you like? You just like An Zi Xi, no better than my instant noodles.'"

  Ji Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her, his mouth curving into a faint smile: "How did you manage to draw those two A cards?"

  The instant noodles were ready, Gu Shallowing poured them into her hands and ate them in big mouthfuls. She replied vaguely: "That's just how I drew it."

  Ji Jiangying stretched out her hand and pinched her chin, moving her entire face in front of him, almost nose to nose, with a refreshing breath blowing up.

  "Back then, there was no black A in the pack of cards, you drew an old card."

  Gu Shallow Cong was very considerate, her movements were quick and agile, as if she was always half a beat faster than him. Annoyed, he pulled his hand away, took a step back and said: "You didn't say I couldn't draw the old sign again, besides, when you exchanged those two A cards, wasn't that also drawing an old sign?"

  Why laugh at those who take 100 steps when you yourself have taken 50?
