Chapter 79 Changing Words and Being Called Back

Ji Bingqian's eyes fell on her face and he asked instead of answering.

"We're getting married soon," he asked slowly, as if guiding a slow-witted student. "Do you think it's appropriate to call me Mr. Ji?"

Xu Yueqing reacted instantly.

Mr. Ji, this title carries a sense of distance, like Party B addressing Party A.

This is definitely not what a couple about to get married should have.

It was her negligence.

She thought for a few seconds, then looked up at him again with some uncertainty.

"So, your name?"

Ji Bingqian looked at her probing eyes and nodded without any emotion.

"what ever."

The two words were light and airy, yet they seemed to draw a new line between them.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the room.

A servant's respectful voice came from outside the door: "Master, the old man is urging you to come over."

Ji Bingqian's eyes swept across Xu Yueqing's face without saying a word, but his meaning was very clear.

He is leaving.

Xu Yueqing nodded.

"Mr. Ji..."

Calling is a habit.

The familiar Mr. Ji blurted out, she paused, and reorganized her words.

The two words rolled over and over on the tip of my tongue, carrying an unfamiliar heat.

In the end, she vomited it out unnaturally.

"Bingqian, you go first."

In Ji Bingqian's deep eyes, a dark color surged for two seconds, so fast that it was impossible to catch it.

He hummed and stood up.

The tall figure carried an air of strength. He straightened the cuffs of his shirt and uttered a few words.

"Wait for me here, don't go anywhere."

As the oppressive feeling brought by the tall figure disappeared, this overly spacious room became empty in an instant.

It's so empty that it makes people feel uneasy.

Xu Yueqing didn't move, still maintaining the standing posture, until her legs became numb, she slowly walked to the window.

From this angle, the outline of the Ji family's old house is clearly visible.

The huge, meticulously trimmed lawn looked like a piece of dark velvet in the twilight.

Everything here is luxurious, but also cold and deserted.

It's like a huge, gorgeous cage built with money and rules.

Xu Yueqing thought of Ji Bingqian.

Just now, when he mentioned his twin brother named Xiaochen, the depression and pain that flashed across his eyes was so fast that it seemed like an illusion, but she caught it.

A dead person who lives on in everyone's memory.

The secret of the Ji family...she should have been exposed today.

After that...

Just as I was lost in thought, there was another knock on the door.

“Knock knock.”

Two sounds, neither fast nor slow, made Xu Yueqing's nerves tense up all of a sudden.

Ji Bingqian just left, who could it be?

With a sense of caution in her heart, she walked to the door and gently opened it.

An elderly maid was standing outside the door. She was wearing a neat uniform and had no expression on her face. She just bowed slightly to her respectfully.

"Miss Xu, the lady is looking for you."

lady?

Ji Bingqian's mother, Li Qingzhi.

When Xu Yueqing thought of Li Qingzhi's out-of-control eyes and the white cat being thrown to the ground, a chill ran down his back.

My inner defenses instantly reached their highest point.

Why is she looking for herself?

Xu Yueqing subconsciously recalled the words Ji Bingqian left before he left...

"Wait for me here, don't go anywhere."

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yueqing had already made a decision.

She looked at the maid in front of her, her tone polite but without any concession.

"Feel sorry."

She paused for a moment, and then deliberately pronounced clearly the name she had just learned.
