Someone is addicted to being a brother-in-law

Bing Jie sighed in regret, his back teeth almost breaking. How could he have forgotten that every time she asked "Are you sure?" like that, he should have changed his words...

Sister Zhuo peeked out from behind her, stifling a smile as she looked at Bing Jie, even adding a thumbs-up to the situation. Knowing it was too late to regret, Bing Jie could only sit there in frustration, watching the two of them filming a video on the sofa.

The hem of the shirt extended from under the waistband. After Xuan Jiazhuo's adjustment, the pleats of the shirt were just right to decorate her waist. The clothes were matched with a leather skirt. Although the leather skirt almost reached the ankles and could not reveal anything, the whole outfit had already maximized the sense of abstinence.

As soon as the filming started, Bing Jie crossed his arms and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Happy 25th birthday to Weihong. I heard you were having a birthday party today. I hope you can have a happy day with your fans. I'm not feeling well right now, otherwise I would definitely go there and sing you a happy birthday song. I hope you get better and better in the future, and I look forward to our next collaboration."

Qi Jixin was used to saying polite words, and basically he said them without thinking. After Sister Zhuo said OK, Qi Jixin put away his business smile and asked Sister Zhuo to send it to Weihong directly, while he looked at Bing Jie.

After completing the task, Sister Zhuo left in a hurry, saying that she wanted to go home to catch up on some sleep, but in fact she wanted to give the young couple some space to be alone.

Without waiting for Qi Jixin to get up and come to him, Bing Jie stood up after locking the door and sat down next to Qi Jixin. He stretched out his arm and put it around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said with emotion, "That kid is really lucky."

Qi Jixin leaned her head against his and said in a relaxed tone, "Then why don't you go and help him with his birthday party and let him come over and hug me?"

"Then he can forget about it." Bing Jie was secretly thinking in his heart, fortunately the contract he drafted was cautious enough to prevent her from doing business with other people while filming with him, otherwise, he would definitely get red eye disease.

After all, their drama has no operating period. The script clearly states that Bing Jie had no intention of broadcasting the drama from the beginning, and this was written so as not to affect her subsequent work.

As for her current injury and her decision to take a break after filming to sort out her feelings, these were all beyond Bing Jie's expectations.

"By the way, what did you go out to deal with that day? I waited for a long time but you didn't come back." When asked about this, Qi Jixin subconsciously thought of the hijacker. She had been watching TV these days and really forgot about what happened on the Internet.

Speaking of this, Bing Jie also remembered that Xuan Jiazhuo had told him that day that she seemed to want to say something to him. Just as he was about to reply to her, his mind suddenly flashed back to the day when she asked him about the origin of the necklace.

This—isn't it a bit too coincidental? Thinking of this, he decided to give her a try.

"A little bit about the company, and a little bit about the defamation case." He looked down at Qi Jixin, not wanting to miss any of her next expression. "Actually, it's about the two of us. That person made up some nonsense, and I asked a lawyer to delete it."

Qi Jixin's pupils visibly contracted for a moment, but luckily she reacted quickly. She blinked rapidly and lowered her eyes, no longer meeting Bing Jie's gaze. She echoed, "Then... thank you."

OK, now Bing Jie’s guess has been completely confirmed. He didn’t want to tease her like this, but he had just felt jealous, so he decided to do something.

"Actually, I was also very conflicted. After all, that person even made a bold statement, saying that if I deleted it, it would be because I felt guilty. I hate being threatened the most, so I simply sent him a lawyer's letter to force him to delete it." He said this deliberately, and naturally saw the more guilty expression of the person in his arms.

Qi Jixin pursed her lips and agreed, "Well done, but what if she posts it again? Or what if her fans spread it widely? Wouldn't that just give people something to talk about?"

Bing Jie straightened up and leaned back, frowning and saying with considerable embarrassment, "Actually, what she said is not wrong, but the future direction of our relationship is still unknown, so I can't let her say anything now."

This was the truth. Qi Jixin subconsciously tried to reach for her phone, but not only did she find nothing, she also accidentally placed her hand on Bing Jie's leg. After realizing what was happening, she immediately apologized: "Sorry, I was trying to get my phone."

Bing Jie looked at the obviously flustered Qi Jixin, his lips curled up slightly. He grabbed her as she was about to leave and asked, "Do you know who I'm talking about?" She looked at him warily, wanting to open her mouth to explain, but was a step too late. "Otherwise, why did you 'happen' to ask about the necklace's origins after she posted the message?"

Seeing the joy revealed between his eyebrows, Qi Jixin belatedly asked him if he had known about this for a long time. Bing Jie took her hand and gently kneaded it, admitting it quickly.

"It's just a guess. I came to you to verify it, didn't I?" His eyes lingered on his toy hands. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her. Seeing that there was no escape, Qi Jixin could only sigh in resignation, and inwardly sighed that this man was worthy of being a jeweler and quite smart.

Bing Jie's original intention was not to make her angry or tease her, so he immediately changed the subject. "Are you really going to be blackmailed by a single word from netizens? Don't worry about what they say."

Qi Jixin hadn't expected this turn of the conversation. She looked at him in surprise. Bing Jie took her hand and placed it on his chest, then said, "Besides, whether I delete it or not, the blame has already been put on me, your brother-in-law. There's no need for you to worry about it."

Qi Jixin repeatedly confirmed that she was not wrong. Was this man's expression smug? She suddenly felt suspicious and leaned on his chest, asking, "You didn't actually delete the post, right?"

Just because this guy was so proud of being his brother-in-law, Qi Jixin thought that not only would he not delete the post, he might even use some other method to make his presence felt.

"Ahem... I'm so busy every day, how can I find the time to argue with netizens' posts? Besides, this guy is quite discerning. He's the first person to call me brother-in-law. I can't be too ruthless."

Sure enough, the word "brother-in-law" touched his heart. Qi Jixin suddenly smiled and understood in an instant why he disliked Weihong. It was definitely not just because of the birthday celebration video.

"So you can't stand Weihong, is it more because everyone on the Internet calls him brother-in-law now?" Now it was Qi Jixin's turn to stare at his face and examine his expression.

Bing Jie shook his head firmly, indicating that this was absolutely not the case. Qi Jixin tugged at his tie and was about to say something when a ringtone rang from the bedroom. She let go and patted his chest: "Wait until I get a call, then I'll settle this with you."

His eyes followed her until she turned the corner and went back to her room. Bing Jie lowered his head and smiled. The happy days of the two of them sticking together were finally back for him. He raised his hand to straighten his tie, maintaining the same posture waiting for her to come back, but he heard her nervous and hurried voice first.

"Weihong called me, and it was a video call, so please be quiet for a while, I need to answer the phone first."

Bing Jie's expression turned ugly for a second. He stood up and walked to the bar opposite the sofa, sat on the high stool, and raised his hand to motion Qi Jixin to sit on the sofa. Qi Jixin whispered thank you to him, and then answered the call from Wei Hong, the ancestor.

"Sister, I just played your birthday wishes to me on the stage, thank you." Weihong said excitedly as soon as he picked up the phone.

Qi Jixin was relieved when he saw him in the messy backstage. After all, this guy was really capable of calling him on the stage in front of his fans... Although he had a good relationship with him, Qi Jixin had also heard about the quarrels between fans of both sides.

Wei Hong’s fans naturally hope that their brother can fly independently, so when they see him rushing to throw himself at the expense of others, they do two things at once, scolding the main character with one hand and Qi Jixin with the other.

Qi Jixin's fans are much easier to deal with. When arguing with Wei Hong's fans, all they have to do is point out that Wei Hong is the one who is chasing Qi Jixin. Then Wei Hong's fans will have only two options left: act crazy or make unreasonable demands...

Qi Jixin got a headache just thinking about someone calling him in front of his fans, but luckily, this guy still had some sense.

"Yeah, is your birthday party over now?" Qi Jixin asked him with a smile. Wei Hong shook his head. Only then did she notice someone occasionally reaching out to straighten his clothes. Her heart, which had just been at ease, began to lift again. "If you're going to perform on stage, call me after you're done."

"Sister, I called you to tell you that we just had a lucky audience member come on stage, and someone called me brother-in-law in a low voice. Of course, no one in the audience heard it, she was the one who whispered it to me."

Qi Jixin held her phone in one hand and had the other hand hanging around her neck, unable to cover her heart. She could only say one thing in her heart: Thank God, if the whole audience had heard what this fan said, she might not have been able to leave the venue...

Obviously, it was not just Wei Hong's fans who were upset by the word "brother-in-law". Qi Jixin also adjusted his sitting posture when he saw Bing Jie sitting there. Of course, the most important thing was his increasingly ugly face.

"Yes, you must listen to your agent and me, and don't do too much with this word, otherwise, the consequences will be serious." After she said that, she looked up at Bing Jie behind the camera, and the man nodded silently.

"Okay, I get it. Then you should take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you when I'm free." He put his hand on his lips and turned to the screen: "Kiss, kiss, bye~"

Qi Jixin smiled politely but helplessly, and quickly turned off the video. That kiss was Weihong's usual method to solidify his fan base, and it didn't really have any meaning, but to Bing Jie's ears, it might have had a very different meaning.

Sure enough, after she put down her phone, Bing Jie said with a hint of deep meaning: "Didn't you just say you were going to settle the score with me? Are you still going to settle it now?"

Seeing him approaching step by step, Qi Jixin felt a little tortured. He stood up and took two steps towards him, saying with a smile, "I swear to God, you just heard it. I am actually very opposed to him calling himself my brother-in-law."

Bing Jie simply put his arm around her waist, stood still, and looked at her affectionately and seriously: "Why would I be angry with you for this? You underestimate me too much."
