Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Seeing through everything when meeting but not saying it...

“Delicious, delicious.”

On the bustling first floor of the restaurant, most people gave satisfactory reviews.

Qiu Jiang and the others are no exception.

As I took a bite of the food, I could smell the aroma of the food on my tongue. I couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.

Just when she was eating with a big appetite, she received a call from Ji Mingcheng.

She looked at the screen and slapped her forehead in frustration.

I actually forgot about the important matter.

She picked up the phone immediately. "Captain Ji, good afternoon."

Her cute voice came from the other side.

Listening to the background sound of clinking glasses and her cheerful tone, Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows.

Fortunately, he rushed here as soon as he finished dealing with the things in Anxi. It turns out that she is having a good time here.

And there hasn't been even a phone call in the past two days.

Heartless.

Ji Mingcheng gritted his teeth, but then realized he couldn't argue with a child, so he calmed down and asked calmly, "Where is it?"

It was the first time for Qiu Jiang to even walk this road, let alone know where it was. In the end, it was Qiu Sichen who reminded her.

She suddenly realized, "Anyuan Street, about three kilometers away from the annex."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly blinked and a guess came to her mind.

"Captain Ji, have you arrived yet?"

Her voice was full of surprise, which finally comforted Ji Mingcheng's aching heart.

He said "hmm".

"Don't wander off yet. I'll come find you now."

Qiu Jiang heard this and quickly said, "We're done eating. Why don't we meet up nearby?"

However, Ji Mingcheng did not give her the chance to refuse, and told her again to wait obediently.

Qiu Jiang lost her voice for a moment and replied honestly, "Okay then."

After hanging up the phone, she looked up and saw her family looking at her with strange expressions.

Before she could react to what their looks meant, she heard Shi Yuexiu asking her.

"Is your leader here?"

Qiu Jiang nodded.

"So he came to see you?" Shi Yuexiu's voice was a little soft, which made Qiu Jiang feel a little strange, but he still answered her question, "Yes."

Shi Yuexiu felt as if his premonition had come true, and the others also smiled knowingly.

She felt increasingly strange, and subconsciously explained, "Captain Ji said he wanted to help me negotiate a deal. If it goes well, maybe our family can actually buy a store."

Business?

They found it strange.

"What business?"

"It's that anti-itch powder. Doctor Ouyang is very interested in it. Our forensic doctor Lu knows him, and when I asked him about it, he said he really wants to buy the formula. Captain Ji wanted to help me make some connections, so I said we could leave a couple of days later."

So that's how it was. Two days ago, they thought she had never been to the provincial capital and that's why she asked to stay for two more days. They never expected this to be the case.

I don't think they misunderstood just now.

The family was in a dilemma.

"If we can really sell it, we should have no problem opening a store. Captain Ji is such a nice guy."

She clasped her hands together, full of gratitude towards Ji Mingcheng and longing for the store.

Could it be a misunderstanding?

Fortunately, I didn’t say much just now, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Qiu Siyu and the others looked at each other, touched their noses together, and picked up their cups to drink water, not daring to admit that they had just had some wild thoughts.

Qiu Jiang was happy, but then she remembered their strange reaction and asked curiously, "I saw you guys were acting weird just now. Do you have something to ask me?"

"No, no."

Qiu Siyu denied it first.

Qiu Sichen followed closely behind.

Qiu Hengan and his wife kept silent, pretending that she was not talking about them.

Qiu Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong with them, and said suspiciously, "You don't doubt..."

Qiu Hengan and his wife were a little nervous, not knowing whether they should talk to her about it if she really asked.

Although Qiu Jiang is nominally their sister, she was raised by the couple since she was a child, and is no different from their own child.

This is the first time the child has asked this kind of question. No matter what, we should give him the correct guidance.

They had no objection to her wanting to fall in love, but their family's financial situation was so much worse than hers, which made them feel uneasy.

If they are both interested in each other, there is nothing wrong with being affectionate at the beginning, but when it comes to actually talking about marriage, both families have to take it into consideration.

Just as they were worrying about how to talk to her, they heard Qiu Jiang continue, "You don't suspect that Captain Ji wants to make me work overtime, do you?"

Shi Yuexiu almost dropped the cup in her hand, and the others were not much better off, looking at her in disbelief.

As a result, Qiu Jiang was very worried about this.

"Then you don't have to worry at all. Not to mention that our team leader isn't that unkind. Even if I were to work overtime, I wouldn't complain. I love this job so much. Besides, our team leader is a fantastic leader, and he'll definitely treat anyone who works overtime well."

Qiu Jiang's eyes were full of pride.

Qiu Siyu looked at her mother helplessly, thinking that she was completely worrying too much.

My aunt is totally clueless.

It seems there is no need to worry about this at all.

In comparison, they are probably more worried about whether their aunt, who is obviously a workaholic, will have no time to find a partner in the future.

They continued to drink water silently, as if their previous random thoughts did not exist.

After finishing their meal, they went outside to wait.

The weather is very good today, with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze. The forsythia flowers on the roadside are blooming with small yellow stamens. Occasionally, a fragrant breeze blows, and in an instant the nose is filled with the sweet and greasy fragrance of flowers. Compared with the bare and gloomy winter days, this season is simply too comfortable.

She squinted her eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

Until a black jeep stopped in front of them, Qiu Jiang recognized the owner of the car at a glance and waved happily towards him.

"Team Season, this way."

Ji Mingcheng stared at her in light blue clothes without blinking, obviously in a daze.

Lu Jianian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at him who had not yet come to his senses, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Ji Mingcheng was not slow-witted and immediately noticed his gaze. He immediately suppressed the surprise and shock in his eyes and gradually became the same as usual.

Soon, he came over with his long legs, greeted Qiu Hengan and the others, and explained his purpose.

Upon hearing that he really wanted to help Qiu Jiang negotiate business, Qiu Hengan and the others finally realized that they had misunderstood and were once again glad that they did not ask at that time.

Knowing that they had already agreed on a place with each other, Shi Yuexiu asked Qiu Jiang to follow them quickly.

"Then you..."

Qiu Jiang was a little worried.

Qiu Sichen said, "It's not far from here to the hospital, and my arm is really fine. I can definitely carry things. Aunt, please go with Captain Ji and the others."

"Yes, little aunt, go quickly."

They urged again and again.

Qiu Jiang repeatedly reminded him, "If you're tired, just call a taxi."

"Don't worry."

After the family finished talking, Qiu Jiang followed Ji Mingcheng and the others into the car.

On the way, Lu Jianian was also interested in her anti-itch powder.

For people who are also susceptible to mosquito bites, it is sometimes difficult to avoid encountering mosquitoes when going out on work. Once bitten, itching is inevitable.

If you encounter a poisonous mosquito, you will feel itchy for several days.

Especially in Hong Kong, where the weather is mostly hot, if he wants to go back, it will be difficult for him to avoid being bitten and blistered.

Although it is not as hot here as in Hong Kong, the weather is gradually getting warmer. By the time summer comes, there will be no fewer mosquitoes than in Hong Kong. If he has this itching powder, it will definitely be a blessing for him.

This is also another major reason why he is willing to match the two of them.

Qiu Jiang gave him a pack without hesitation and said, "Forensic Doctor Lu, please try it first. If you find it useful, tell me."

Lu Jianian didn't expect that she actually carried it with her. He smiled and thanked her, "Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking Forensic Doctor Lu. I'm so grateful for my brother's surgery."

Lu Jia smiled young and said, "You're welcome."

Ji Mingcheng watched them going back and forth, and immediately became depressed, "Hey, hey, are you guys treating me like air?"

Qiu Jiang hurriedly asked, "How is that possible?"

After she finished speaking, she smiled at him and said, "Our team leader Ji is so handsome and caring, and he has helped me so much. He is simply the benefactor of my destiny. I love him to death, so how could I possibly treat him like air?"

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Hearing the word "I love you so much", Ji Mingcheng's ears moved quickly, and a thin layer of red rose at a speed visible to the naked eye. He coughed twice and gave an evaluation that stunned her.

"Smooth talk."

Qiu Jiang pursed her lips, unconvinced, "I clearly meant what I said."

She swore to heaven.

Ji Mingcheng snorted softly.

"I don't believe it."

"What do I have to do to make you believe it?" she asked seriously.

Ji Mingcheng glanced at her through the rearview mirror, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'll believe it if you dance for me in this outfit."

Qiu Jiang blinked, his face full of disbelief, "That's it?"

Their season team is really easy to please.

She sighed in her heart.

In order to prevent him from changing his mind, Qiu Jiang immediately agreed.

"No problem. Once we're done, it's no problem to dance two."

He had originally wanted to tease her, but he hadn't expected her to actually agree. Ji Mingcheng was a little skeptical, "You really can do it?"

"Secret."

She kept him in suspense, refused to answer him, and threw the conversation back to him.

"Captain Ji, where are we going? I think we're almost out of town."

"Horse farm."

He was concise and to the point.

"Horse farm?"

Qiu Jiang exclaimed, a little suspicious whether he was teasing her.

Because she always thought that modern people have cars when they go out and have no need for horses at all. Moreover, in the past few months here, she hasn't seen a horse, let alone horse poop.

She thought that horse farms no longer existed in modern times.

But she also felt that he would not lie to her, and a feeling of nostalgia and excitement surged up, and she was so happy that the silver jewelry on her body rustled.

Ji Mingcheng continued to look at her bright and beautiful appearance through the rearview mirror, and his joy was self-evident.

Lu Jianian inexplicably felt that his head was shining here, so he remained quiet along the way, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Only occasionally would I see them bickering back and forth, with the corners of their lips still curled up, giving me the feeling of seeing through something but not saying it out loud.

They were childhood friends who had known each other since they were wearing open-crotch pants. Under normal circumstances, Ji Mingcheng would have noticed that he was staring at him. However, today, after Qiu Jiang got on the car, it was as if Qiu Jiang was not in the car, and he did not pay any attention to him at all.

In this case, who would believe that he has no feelings for the girl?

Anyway, Lu Jianian, as a childhood friend, didn't believe it at all.

But it's obvious that neither of them has figured it out, so why should I force them to do anything?

Lu Jianian looked at the brilliantly blooming white stamens outside the window, quietly appreciating the beauty of the moment.
