Spring Breeze No. 1 (016) changed his mind and wanted to marry
Ji Jiangying found it interesting that Gu Qianqian wasn't even afraid of a fierce and ferocious drunkard, but in front of Jian Bai, she was willing to lower her eyebrows and be obedient.
With a thoughtful smile, he said slowly and clearly: "You don't seem like someone who would be afraid of his mom."
Gu Shallow Cong helplessly rolled her eyes, Ji Jiang Ying had a characteristic, when women fought, he never interfered, watching the joke with a calm and gentle smile. But his eyes were poisonous, and he had the ability to see through everyone.
"Do you think I'm acting again, pretending?"
Ji Jiangying turned her head and stared at her for a while, her eyes as deep as the sea under the night sky. She said lightly: "You're not even bothering to pretend, I think you just can't be bothered to care."
"Alright, Season Junior, I know you're incredibly talented, go to work now, I'm leaving."
Ji Jiangying stretched out a hand to hold hers, his long fingers cool and thin, his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at her: "I think we should have dinner with both sets of parents and discuss the wedding date."
"You're crazy."
"Don't you want to get married?"
"You don't want to marry either."
"Didn't anyone tell you that plans can change?"
Gu Shallow nodded: "I know this, maybe I wanted to marry you before, but now I've changed my mind."
Ji Jiangying smiled warmly and said lazily, "In the past, I may not have wanted to marry you, but now I've changed my mind."
"Gu Shallow Cong said 'oh?' and leaned in, imitating his expression, raising an eyebrow: "Seasonal Young Master, your idea has changed to be risky. In the past, when you brought me back, maybe I could really become a decoration or a plaything, as you wished. But now my brain is problematic, maybe I won't be as obedient as you imagined. Are you still willing to marry me?"
Ji Jiang's eyes sparkled as he lifted her chin: "Why don't you marry? The more challenging things are, the more they can stir up one's desire to conquer. You're making it sound even more enticing."
Gu Shallow Cong wanted to cry but had no tears, raised her hands and signaled him to stop. Forget it, when she couldn't argue with him.
"However, Season Big Young Master, you're wrong. Who says I'm not bothered? I have a habit of avenging my grievances and never suffer losses."
Ji Jiang's shadow seemed to smile but not quite: "It's a good habit, I'm like that too."
Yan Ruyu sat in the living room for a whole morning, as this was the only way to intercept Ji Jiangran. She steeled herself and decided to ask him where he had been, perhaps she could make him reflect on his actions by asking sideways questions.
Sat until noon, several cups of coffee were drunk, and no one was seen coming down from upstairs.
Gu Shallowing returned to her room after sending off Ji Jiangying, and soon took out her bag and went out. Seeing Yan Ruyu staring at her with a fierce gaze, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Even if she waited until the end of time, she would never be able to wait for Ji Jiangyan again, as he was no longer in bed when she returned to her room. That devil-like man, what couldn't he do?
She guessed he must have left through the window, without a sound or a trace.
Yuan Ruyu finally gave up and realized some things. Ji Jiangnan was not a spoiled brat, he wouldn't spend all day at home doing nothing. In this world, there might not be any woman who could make the men of the Ji family lose their composure, to the point where they would become infatuated like a young boy.
They are not ordinary people, the men of the Ji family have a pair of hands that can turn clouds and rain, but there are few times when they cannot hold on.
Yan Ruyu took the car keys and went out, her mind was a blank all the way, hesitating whether to go or not. She couldn't think clearly, gripping the steering wheel tightly, the harder she gripped, the more dizzy she felt. When she finally stopped, she found herself in front of Ji Jiangran's company building.
Gritting his teeth, he took advantage of his courage before it dissipated and went up anyway.
The receptionists all recognized her and directly reported to the top floor that Yan Ruyu had arrived, then invited her into a special elevator.
Yan Ruyu was extremely nervous, staring at herself on the elevator wall, her entire face expressionless, her former elegance gone, and there was an inexplicable sense of desolation.
She adjusted the curve of her mouth and wanted to be perfect in front of Ji Jiangran forever.
Ji Jiang had indeed arrived early and had just returned to his office after attending a high-level meeting in the morning. He was about to go out for lunch when he received an internal call saying that Yan Ruyu had arrived.
The secretary soon ushered someone in.
Ji Jiangran picked up his coat with a flourish and smiled: "Just in time, let's go have lunch together."
His smile was perfect, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a dazzling thin light sprinkled on his handsome face, rich and majestic, making her eyes hard to open. The curve she tried so hard to adjust was overwhelmed, unable to pretend, only feeling heartbroken. She really didn't want to lose such a perfect man.
If you're smart enough, just pretend nothing's wrong. Endure with gratitude and humility, as elegantly and calmly as before, as if nothing happened.
This is what the daughter-in-law of the Ji family should do.
But she still made a fool of herself and couldn't pretend anymore, with a hint of hope, asked: "What's going on between you and Gu Shallow?"
As long as he says one sentence of apology to Gu Qian Ning, even if it's a lie, she plans to forgive him.
She would never lose to Gu Shangning in this lifetime, and that was how the game had been unfolding from the start.
Ji Jiang's handsome face turned cold, and he was about to reach out to pull her into his arms when she asked this question. He turned his head and sat down on the sofa instead. He didn't like women playing games with him, especially not this one whom he was going to marry to save face.
She narrowed her eyes and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Yan Ruyu's voice cracked slightly, and she was immediately a little scared. She saw his impatience and wanted to retreat. But Season Jiangnan, such an intelligent man, must have thought that she knew something, his sharp eyes staring at her like an eagle.
She wanted to dodge, but there was nowhere to hide, so she had to force herself to say it out loud: "I... I saw you and Shallow Cong last night..." The tone was dull, and she didn't have the courage to continue.
Ji Jiang's expressionless face gazed at her for a while, his eyebrows scattered, and he smiled, but the smile was not relaxed, with a hint of coldness. His fingers intertwined, and he said casually: "You know now, what does it matter? If you're smart, things will be like this. Otherwise, how did you come to the Ji family, and how will you leave the Ji family?"
Yan Ruyu regretted it, but it was too late. She had tears in her eyes. She really regretted it. If she had pretended not to see anything from the beginning, maybe she and Ji Jiangnan could still have gotten along with each other. But now that this layer of paper has been pierced, I'm afraid even that won't be possible anymore.
In a fluster, she said somewhat pleadingly: "Jiang Ran..."
Ji Jiang raised his hand and stopped her from speaking.
"I'm busy, you go back, don't come to my office casually from now on." He hated women who were clingy and troublesome. Now it seemed that even someone as clever as Yan Yurou couldn't avoid this bad habit.
