Ji Shuiquan was not like Du Yan and Ji Songlin, who would ask Ji Yunxin about the matter and would not stop until they found out who she liked. After listening to Ji Yunxin's words, he nodded slightly and smiled: "Okay, but you know your mother, I can't hide it for too long."
He stood up and walked to Ji Yunxin, and continued, "So get him back as soon as possible."
Ji Yunxin lowered her eyes, her face showing a rare blush, and she hummed softly.
When the two of them went downstairs, Ji Songlin said unhappily, "Why are you still talking about business when you're back?"
Ji Han said, "Grandpa, you should know that it's no fun if I don't talk about business."
After she finished speaking, Ji Yunxin glanced at her coldly. Ji Han shrank his shoulders and leaned against Jian Yan: "Sister Jian Yan, my sister bullied me."
Jian Yan looked at Ji Yunxin and saw that her expression was the same as usual, but her ears were slightly red. She pulled Ji Han over and said, "Okay, let's eat."
Several people sat down. Ji Yunxin usually sat next to Jian Yan, and tonight was no exception. As soon as Jian Yan walked to the chair, Ji Yunxin took the initiative to help her pull out the stool. Jian Yan was slightly startled and tilted her head: "Thank you, President Ji."
Ji Shuiquan said, "What's the matter with Mr. Ji? Don't be so distant at home. In terms of age, Yanyan, you are younger than Yunxin, so why don't you call her sister?"
Call me sister
Jian Yan muttered to herself, how could she possibly say that? This was too difficult to say!
Ji Han was still trying to hold back his laughter: "Sister? Do you two love each other?"
Du Yan glared at her: "Nonsense!"
Ji Han continued to smile silently.
Jian Yan opened her mouth and looked at Ji Yunxin next to her. She coughed lightly: "Sister... Yunxin."
It would be better to call her Yunxin.
Ji Yunxin's brows relaxed, hiding her smile, and she nodded: "Then I will call you Yanyan from now on."
Jian Yan's hands trembled, and the chopsticks almost fell on the plate. "Why are you called Yan Yan? Why don't you just call me Jian Yan?" Really!
But with so many people watching and it being New Year's Day, Jian Yan nodded and laughed dryly: "Whatever you want."
Ji Yunxin opened her red lips and said, "Yan Yan."
Jian Yan was somewhat reluctant to agree.
Ji Shuiquan, who was sitting opposite the two of them, said, "That's right. A family should act like a family. Yanyan, don't be so reserved in the future. If you have any difficulties, just tell Yunxin. We are all a family."
Jian Yan lowered her head and poked her chopsticks on the plate: "Okay."
Ji Shuiquan raised his hand: "Eat, eat."
"Aunt Liu, please serve the food."
Aunt Liu sighed happily and went to the kitchen. Jian Yan ate absent-mindedly. She was not very hungry. She had just encountered something like that in the bar, so she had no appetite. The dishes served tonight were very complete, with fish, shrimp, and chicken, and they were also made into various plating styles. Jian Yan took a bite casually, but her mouth was tasteless. She put down her chopsticks and drank a sip of the drink. She heard Ji Shuiquan calling, "Yan Yan."
Jian Yan looked up: "Uncle."
Ji Shuiquan pushed two dishes over and said, "These are pastries I brought back from H City. Try them."
Jian Yan picked up a piece with chopsticks. It was crispy and appetizing. She took a bite and said, "Delicious. Thank you, uncle."
Ji Shuiquan's eyes were full of smiles: "Don't be polite, just tell me what you want to eat. Your aunt and I are not often at home, and we can't take care of you usually. I hope you don't get angry."
"How could that be?" Jian Yan immediately smiled and said, "I won't be angry."
Ji Shuiquan glanced at Du Yan and said, "Well, it's your aunt's eighth birthday, remember to go home."
Jian Yan paused. Originally, she wanted to slowly cut off her relationship with the Ji family. Although saying this sounded a bit like destroying the bridge after crossing it, she really didn't want to have too much involvement with the Ji family. She had told Ji Yunxin before that she would come to the Ji family in the future, and it was unavoidable. It was impossible for Ji Songlin not to come once in her life, but she also didn't want to participate in all the big and small things of the Ji family, such as celebrating her birthday.
Of course she knew that Du Yan's birthday was on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but she had already planned to call in advance and say that she was too busy with filming to go over. Now that Ji Shuiquan brought it up, Jian Yan smiled and said, "Look, I almost forgot. I'll go back and check my schedule. If I'm not busy, I'll come over."
Ji Shuiquan nodded: "That's fine, work is more important, but you know your aunt is a chatterbox, she will definitely nag you all night long. Don't you know that last year when you guys didn't come back, your aunt nagged you for a whole month."
Du Yan was dissatisfied: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Jian Yan lowered her eyes and took a sip of her drink: "I'll try my best to come over."
Ji Shuiquan picked up the cup and said, "It's okay. You just came back, so you should focus on your work."
Ji Shuiquan was able to handle both the soft and hard tactics and play two roles at once. Ji Yunxin glanced at Jian Yan's slightly red cheeks and said, "We'll talk about it on that day."
Du Yan also agreed: "Yes, it's still early, let's talk about it later."
Dinner lasted an hour. When it was almost over, Jian Yan received a call from Gu Cai. She stood up, apologized to everyone, and walked to the other side of the living room to answer the phone. Ji Shuiquan said, "By the way, I have something to announce."
Ji Han asked while eating hot pot, "What's the matter, Dad?"
Ji Shuiquan said: "I need to go back to the company for a while."
Du Yan put the cup on the table: "Why?"
Ji Shuiquan's eyes swept across the faces of several people, and finally landed on Ji Yunxin's face. He said with some regret: "Yunxin will expand overseas projects after the new year, and I don't have the skills. I want to join the company to help."
Ji Han was shocked: "We need to expand our business again, are you busy?"
Then there is no chance of her show inviting her sister
Ji Yunxin glanced at her: "Not very busy."
Du Yan muttered: "If you're not busy, why did you let your dad join the company?"
Ji Yunxin was choked by her mother's breath, and it was Ji Shuiquan who spoke up to help her out.
Ji Songlin had long since become a hands-off boss who didn't care about the company's affairs, so he let them discuss whatever they wanted. Du Yan was a little unhappy but didn't refute much. But Ji Han kept asking, "Sister, don't forget what you promised me."
She is still eagerly waiting to be pulled into the program team.
After Ji Yunxin finished her meal, she leaned back in her chair. Ji Han sat next to her and said, "Sister, you didn't forget, did you? You are my biological sister. You can't do this to me!"
Seeing her rogue look, Ji Yunxin smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten."
Ji Han whispered, "Then will you participate?"
Ji Yunxin couldn't shirk it: "After the Chinese New Year, send the selected address and process of the program to my assistant."
Ji Han's eyes lit up: "You are ready to participate!"
"I knew it, sister, you are so nice!"
Ji Yunxin smiled silently as she held her arm. Ji Shuiquan asked, "Why did Yanyan take so long to make the phone call?"
Several people looked towards the living room. The place where Jian Yan was standing while making a phone call was empty. Ji Shuiquan asked, "Did she go out? It's so cold."
Ji Han volunteered: "I'll go out and take a look!"
By the way, tell her the good news that everyone is here!
Ji Shuiquan called out, "Xiao Han."
"Go to the kitchen and bring back some vinegar. Yunxin, go see where Yanyan has gone."
Ji Yunxin stood up cooperatively. She walked to the sofa and saw Jian Yan's coat left on it. She reached out to take the coat and walked out the door. Jian Yan was standing in the garden and talking on the phone. Gu Cai on the other end roared, "What a fool! You don't know what he has done to my bar!"
Gu Caiqi's eyes turned red: "I really want to hit him with a bottle!"
Jian Yan comforted him, "Okay, it's okay. Are they gone now?"
Not long after they left, He Yi and his group started to get drunk and went crazy. They rushed to the dance floor and made a lot of noise and smashed bottles and drinks. The bar was bombarded with customers and all of them ran away. Bottles and cans were all over the floor. Gu Cai asked someone to hold He Yi and his group but failed to stop them completely. The bar was smashed to pieces. Gu Cai was furious and said viciously, "They left. They just left."
He even left a check. Damn, he really thinks money is omnipotent!
Jian Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him leave: "Okay, don't be angry, I'll come and help you later."
"Don't come here, in case someone sees you."
Jian Yan smiled: "It's okay."
She rubbed her arms as she finished speaking. It was not warmer outside than at home, but the signal at home was not that good. She heard Gu Cai talking intermittently about a riot in the bar and He Yi's drunken behavior. In order to hear clearly, she walked out.
"What a sin I have committed!" Gu Cai muttered in dissatisfaction. Jian Yan smiled and tried to comfort him. As the words reached her lips, she felt a weight on her shoulders and then a warmth came over her. She turned her head and saw Ji Yunxin putting a down jacket on her. Under the soft light, Ji Yunxin's facial features were not as cold and hard as before, and his expression was not as cold and indifferent. It seemed that he had become more gentle. Jian Yan stood there, stunned for a few seconds and said, "Thank you."
Gu Cai asked on the other end of the phone: "What?"
Jian Yan replied to her: "Nothing, that's it, I'll hang up first and come find you later."
After she hung up the phone, Jian Yan put away her phone, put on her coat, and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Ji Yunxin looked inside and said, "Grandpa is worried about you, so he asked me to come over and take a look."
Jian Yan put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket, and her body immediately warmed up. She nodded and said, "I'm fine, let's go in."
Ji Yunxin saw her lower her head and walked inside. She moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue and asked, "Who was that just now?"
Although she had a very casual attitude, Jian Yan turned to look at her, somewhat surprised that she would ask this question. Didn't Ji Yunxin usually not care about other people's affairs? Why would he take the initiative to ask her who she was talking to on the phone
Ji Yunxin received her suspicious gaze and said calmly, "That happened just last night. I'm worried that Mr. He will harm you."
oh.
Jian Yan nodded and replied, "No one."
Ji Yunxin had no intention of chatting at all, with her hands hanging by her sides. She watched Jian Yan walk into the living room and disappear at the door of the dining room, and all the courage she had mustered was gone.
Jian Yan went to the dining room and saw that everyone was full. Du Yan was eating fruit. When she saw Jian Yan, she asked, "Yan Yan, do you want to have some staple food? We have fried rice, noodles, and glutinous rice balls."
Jian Yan walked over to her and sat down on the chair: "No, I'll just eat some fruit."
After she finished speaking, she picked up a toothpick with a piece of apple on it. The cold apple tasted sweet on the tip of her tongue.
Du Yan watched her finish the apple and said, "Let's go choose a New Year's gift later."
Ji Han walked up to her and said, "Come on, sister, let's go choose together!"
Jian Yan was dragged by her to the living room. The gift was in the room on the second floor. Ji Han held Jian Yan's arm and said jokingly, "Sister, what gift do you want?"
"Whatever. What about you?"
"I want a bag."
She has a hobby of collecting, and she especially likes to collect bags. Jian Yan knows this, and she nodded: "Then you can choose first later."
"Together."
"By the way, sister, I have good news for you. The guests for the show have been confirmed."
"Yeah?"
"… "
The sound of their chatter gradually faded away. When Ji Yunxin returned to the living room, she saw Ji Han taking Jian Yan's arm and going upstairs. The two of them were very intimate. Jian Yan had a faint smile on her face the whole time, her brows were relaxed, and she seemed to be happy both physically and mentally. She was completely different from the impatient look she had just shown in front of her.
Ji Yunxin was upset and shouted, "Xiao Han."
Ji Han and Jian Yan had already gone upstairs. They stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked down. Ji Han replied, "What's the matter, sister?"
Ji Yunxin looked up from below, and met Jian Yan's indifferent profile and her slightly cold eyes. She cleared her throat and said, "It's okay."
Ji Han muttered above: "Why are you asking me to do anything?"
"Come on, let's go pick out gifts."
Ji Yunxin opened her mouth behind them but didn't say a word. She lowered her head and walked to the sofa and sat down. Du Yan and Ji Shuiquan were holding a lot of fireworks. Du Yan said, "Yunxin, did Xiaohan and the others go to choose gifts?"
"Yeah." Ji Yunxin replied uninterestedly. Du Yan said, "Let them set off fireworks in the yard when they come down."
Ji Yunxin crossed her arms and said, "Okay."
Ji Shuiquan shook his head: "I won't use it even if I have the chance."
When Ji Yunxin heard this, a faint blush appeared on her fair face. She leaned back on the sofa with her chest still crossed. After Ji Shuiquan and Du Yan left, she immediately stood up and strode upstairs.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Ji Han's voice: "Sister, how about this?"
Jian Yan said in a low voice: "Very good."
Ji Yunxin felt as if her heart was being plucked by the strings of a musical instrument. She took a step forward and stood at the door to look inside. There were several unopened gifts. Ji Han was holding two bags in his hands: "This one seems to be better."
“This one is good too.”
Jian Yan sat on the chair next to her and looked at her hesitant expression and smiled: "I'll give you both."
"That won't work." Ji Han said, "There's one gift for each person, how can I choose two?"
Jian Yan said: "I'll give you my share as well."
“I don’t really like bags.”
Ji Han was immediately happy: "Thank you, sister!"
Jian Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw her smiling. Ji Han stood in front of the mirror with her bag in hand, looking pretty. Finally, she said, "Sister, I'm actually quite curious, how did you fall in love with my sister?"
Ji Yunxin, who was standing outside the door, paused. She was originally walking forward, but she stepped back. Jian Yan in the room said, "Why are you asking such nonsense?"
"I'm curious." Ji Han said, "My sister is such a cold person, and you've liked her for so many years. I must be curious, right?"
Ji Yunxin was standing outside the door and almost suffocated when she heard Ji Han's words.
"Actually, your sister is very nice." Jian Yan's voice was like a fine musical instrument, soft and gentle, flowing into Ji Yunxin's ears.
"What's good about her?" Ji Han muttered, "She has bad eyesight and a bad temper. She always has a stern face. Sometimes I feel nervous when I talk to her."
Ji Yunxin gritted his teeth.
Is this what a human being would say
Jian Yan was amused: "It's not as exaggerated as you say, she has a good temper."
Seeing this, Ji Han asked, "Sister, do you still like her now?"
Finally, the question that he wanted to know the most was asked. Ji Han didn't dare to breathe. Ji Yunxin outside also subconsciously held his breath. Jian Yan said without hesitation, "I don't like it anymore."
As these words were spoken, fireworks outside the window suddenly lit up and exploded in Ji Yunxin's heart with a bang.
"But..." Ji Han wanted to speak, but Ji Yunxin walked to the door and said naturally, "Xiao Han, Yan Yan, go downstairs to set off the fireworks."
Ji Han was interrupted. She said "oh" and looked at Jian Yan and said, "Sister, let's go down and set off the fireworks."
Jian Yan followed her: "Let's go."
Ji Han took Jian Yan downstairs. Seeing that Ji Yunxin didn't come down, she couldn't help but shouted, "Sister, aren't you going?"
Ji Yunxin replied to her: "You guys go ahead."
Ji Han scratched his head and took Jian Yan to the garden. Ji Yunxin returned to the bridal chamber. She stood at the window and looked down. Du Yan was still holding fireworks in her hands like a child. Ji Shuiquan helped her light them. Ji Songlin stood aside with a crutch and a smile on his face. Soon Jian Yan and Ji Han also joined in. Ji Yunxin leaned against the window with her arms around her chest, and Jian Yan's words just now rang in her ears.
Don't like it anymore.
Don't like it anymore.
She frowned, and her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, causing a sharp pain.
"You guys are coming down, where's your sister?" Du Yan asked. Ji Han said, "I don't know. She's upstairs. I guess she's working again."
"This kid." Du Yan complained dissatisfiedly, but Ji Shuiquan looked up at the second floor and saw a figure in the window of Ji Yunxin's wedding room. He shook his head slightly and continued to light fireworks for Du Yan.
When the fireworks were halfway through, Jian Yan said to Ji Songlin, "Grandpa, I'm leaving soon. I'll come back to see you when I'm free."
Ji Songlin's smile froze, and he said reluctantly, "You're leaving now, where are you going? You haven't bought a house yet, are you going to stay in a hotel? That won't work!"
Jian Yan listened to his mumbling and comforted him, "No, I'm going to my friend's place."
Ji Songlin still didn't want to let him go: "It's New Year's Day, is it convenient to go to your friend's place?"
Jian Yan smiled: "It's quite convenient. She is alone too."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Ji Songlin couldn't help but ask, "How about letting Yun Xin take you there later?"
Jian Yan waved her hand: "No, I'll take a taxi, it'll be quick."
"Why are you taking a taxi on New Year's Eve? You kid, I bought you a car but you didn't want it. You insisted on taking a taxi. Taxis are so unsafe..."
Seeing another familiar muttering, Jian Yan had no choice but to say, "Grandpa, I really won't delay any longer. I'm leaving first."
Ji Songlin said reluctantly: "Then remember to come back more often."
Jian Yan nodded: "I will."
After the two said goodbye to Jian Yan and Ji Shuiquan, Du Yan also said something, and Ji Han followed her back to the house: "Sister, are you leaving?"
Jian Yan zipped up her clothes and grabbed her bag: "Yeah."
"How about I take you out? I also need to go out shopping."
Jian Yan followed her: "What is that?"
"Ah..." Ji Han sighed: "Something I need every month."
Jian Yan patted her head: "What is so—"
Before she finished speaking, Jian Yan was stunned for a moment. Ji Han thought she had reacted and said with a smile, "Yeah, you guessed it."
Jian Yan paused in her tracks. The sound of fireworks continued to ring out behind her, crackling and lively, but Jian Yan's heart skipped a beat. A cool breeze blew across her chest, and she felt cold all over. Sweat continued to pour out of her palms.
Ji Han was puzzled: "Sister?"
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Under the streetlight, Jian Yan's face quickly lost its color, becoming abnormally pale. Her body swayed slightly, and Ji Han was worried that something had happened to her, so he hurriedly supported her: "Sister?"
When Ji Yunxin went out, she saw Ji Han holding Jian Yan. She walked over quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Han looked at her in confusion: "I don't know, Sister Jian Yan suddenly became like this."
Jian Yan took a deep breath. Her heartbeat was unusually fast. When she heard Ji Yunxin's voice, she managed to remain calm and said, "I'm fine. It's just too cold."
Ji Yunxin glanced at Ji Han and said, "Go drive over here."
Ji Han let go of Jian Yan and ran towards the garage. Ji Yunxin raised her hand several times but didn't put it on Jian Yan's waist. Finally, she leaned forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jian Yan turned her head and looked at her deeply, her eyes were very complicated. She bit her lip and said, "It's okay."
Ji Yunxin was still worried: "I'll take you to the hospital."
Jian Yan hurriedly shook her head: "No, it's really okay."
Ji Yunxin knew that she was worried about her identity and said, "Then should I call Dr. Qiao to come and take a look?"
"Why are you calling during the New Year?" Jian Yan said, holding back the nervousness of her heartbeat that was about to jump to her throat: "I'm really fine. I just had low blood pressure and was hit by the wind. I'll go back and have a good sleep."
"It's okay. Dr. Qiao lives nearby."
"I said no, no, no! Don't you understand? Ji Yunxin, can you please stay away from me?" Jian Yan couldn't help but roar. She was extremely nervous, and her fingertips were shaking. Ji Yunxin was still chasing her, so she couldn't help but vent!
Seeing her angry look, Ji Yunxin took a step back and said apologetically, "Okay, don't be angry."
After venting, Jian Yan was no longer so nervous. She lowered her head and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
Ji Yunxin nodded: "It's okay."
Soon Ji Han drove over. Jian Yan opened the passenger door and got in. She turned to Ji Han and said, "Xiao Han, could you please take me there?"
Ji Han glanced at Ji Yunxin who was standing outside the car and bit her lip: "Well... OK."
After the car drove out of Ji's house, Ji Han asked cautiously: "Sister, did you have a fight with my sister?"
Just now when she drove over, she heard Jian Yan talking very loudly. Jian Yan has a certain personality. She never blushes when getting angry with others. Why would she quarrel with her sister for no reason
Jian Yan's heartbeat slowly returned to normal. She turned her head, her face still pale, and said, "No, I just felt uncomfortable and was overly emotional."
Ji Han asked worriedly, "Are you okay now? How about I take you to the hospital?"
Jian Yan shook her head: "It's okay, don't worry."
She patted Ji Han's shoulder and said, "I'll set a navigation. Call me when we get there. I'll take a rest first."
Ji Han agreed: "Okay."
After Jian Yan set the navigation, she put on her down jacket hood and tilted her head towards the window. Her silhouette was reflected in the car window. Jian Yan's eyes turned red as she thought about the past two months, her occasional discomfort, and those mornings when she always felt nauseous when brushing her teeth...
Tears just slid down her face, but Jian Yan couldn't make a sound. She bit her lips hard until they were completely bloodless. There was a faint smell of blood between her teeth. Her body hidden in her coat was shaking, her teeth were chattering, and tears surged, seeping in through her collar and soaking her sweater underneath.
The heater in the car was on high, and although it was warm, she felt as if a chill was drilling into her bones, penetrating every pore and causing her to curl up in pain.
The string that was taut before getting on the car is now completely broken!
The author has something to say: Xixi and Jiang Zong, who have been separated for a long time and finally reunited, have updated the campus extra. If you like them, you can take a look. XOXO.
