Chapter 185 The Banquet Begins

Ye Jinmo frowned and drank it.

Sure enough, the ginger flavor is not strong, but sour and sweet.

She obediently drank the second and third sips.

After a while, the soup bowl was empty.

"I wasn't lying to you. The ginger taste isn't strong." Ji Sichen smiled and scratched her little nose.

She blushed and dodged his hand, curled up in the quilt with her back to him.

Just as I was about to say something, my stomach started to ache.

But the pain is much less than before, maybe the ginger soup just now took effect.

After a while, thin beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Suddenly, the bed beside her sank, and before she looked back, she was hugged by someone.

A pair of large hands covered her school uniform and rubbed it slowly.

The warm touch made her tense her body unconsciously, even her toes curled up.

"Does it hurt?"

Feeling her tense, he asked softly, afraid to scare her.

"No... much better..."

She just thought of the last time she was at Baicaotang.

He jumped in through the window and they slept in each other's arms that night.

It was still like that tonight, except her back was against his chest.

Because the whole house has a constant temperature system, the pajamas are not too thick.

She could actually hear his heartbeat through his pajamas!

From the original tension, now I relax a little bit.

She slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Sichen didn't stop and pulled the girl into his arms.

His unique fragrance slowly seeps into my nostrils.

He suffers from insomnia.

He was ready to leave before dawn.

His arm, which had been resting on her head all night, was already numb. In order not to wake her up, he could only pull it out little by little.

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, he felt extremely satisfied.

His room, his bed, his baby.

He lowered his head, placed a light kiss on her lips, then turned and left the bedroom.

He had to crawl back to the Zhong family, otherwise if Zhong Shaoqing knew that he had not been separated from the girl all night, he would probably get furious on the spot.

Ye Jinmo stayed at Ji's house for a few days, and Ji Sichen had been running between the Zhong and Ji families these days.

The dark circles under my eyes are getting darker.

When she came back for lunch at noon, Mrs. Ji was puzzled.

"Achen, make sure you get enough rest and don't worry too much about the company's affairs."

She only has this one precious grandson. What if he gets too exhausted?

Ye Jinmo ate in silence without saying a word.

She knew all too well how someone got dark circles under their eyes.

I jump out of the window and climb the stairs every night. It would be strange if I didn’t look haggard.

When she raised her eyes, she met the man's resentful look.

She quickly lowered her head to eat, a sweet feeling passing through her heart.

After lunch, he strongly requested that she take a nap with him.

When they got to the room, before she could turn around, the man grabbed her waist. She felt dizzy and fell on the bed, and he held her tightly.

She struggled to sit up, but someone didn't give her the chance.

Her waist was restrained and her right hand was held by him and placed on her chest.

"Sleep with me for a while." The man's voice was indescribably tired.

She stopped struggling and lay obediently in his arms.

Soon, the sound of even breathing came from above his head, and he fell asleep.

She was not sleepy at all. She looked up at his face sideways, her eyes slowly moving across his outline.

She raised her hand and touched the mole at the corner of his eye.

Tsk, he sleeps like a little kid.

The afternoon sun is shining brightly, making people feel warm.

Jiang Xiwen didn't come to see her again these days.

I also had a comfortable time at school.

The party is approaching.

Ye Jinmo came back from school in the afternoon, changed into a simple dress, and went to Jiang's house with Zhong's mother.

Mr. Jiang was waiting at the gate early.

It is very rare to have guests coming and going.

The person who can make the head of the Jiang family wait seems to be of extraordinary status.

"Who is coming?"

"Oh, haven't you heard? Today is a big day for the Jiang family to thank their savior!"

"Who to save? That sickly second wife? Wasn't the second wife kicked out of the Jiang family..."

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the man quickly covered his mouth, looked around, and was relieved when he found that no one heard it.

She pulled a noblewoman over to her side, glanced at Jiang Xirou who was not far away, and whispered, "Is that the second young lady of the Jiang family? She is far inferior to the eldest young lady..."

"Shh, don't talk. I heard that the second young lady hooked up with a big shot..."

Before the quiet discussion here was over, the doorway became noisy.

Ye Jinmo got out of the car with her mother, and her elder and second brothers followed behind.

Mr. Jiang walked forward with a smile, and Jiang Xiwen followed.

"Jinmo is here, come in quickly! It's cold outside!"

"Butler, bring hot tea!"

The four were pushed into the hall.

Jiang Xiwen took the initiative to hold Ye Jinmo's hand. Compared to the little girl's simple dress, she was quite flashy today.

The dresses were gorgeous and they wore crowns on their heads. The two walked together, meeting the gazes of everyone.

"Wow, this must be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family! She is so elegant!"

"Whose family is that girl next to her? She looks like she has a very good relationship with Miss Jiang! Mr. Jiang even came to greet her in person just now. She must be someone very important!"

"I don't know. For such an important occasion, wearing such simple clothes is a bit inappropriate!"

Ye Jinmo didn't stop, but glanced indifferently at the direction of the voice.

Several people fell silent instantly.

What a terrifying look, what a fierce aura!

She clearly looks like a little girl, so why does her aura seem even stronger than Jiang Xiwen's?

Jiang Xiwen didn't notice the changes in the others. She specially wore eight-centimeter high heels today just to outshine Ye Jinmo.

Hearing these words, her steps became lighter.

"Student Ye, don't pay attention to what those people say, they are just talking nonsense!"

Ye Jinmo nodded: "It's okay, it's not appropriate for me to wear too fancy clothes at my age."

Even that little bit of thought is not even worth mentioning in front of her.

She was also quite speechless. Putting aside his character, Jiang Xiwen was also a famous doctor. He was playing tricks in such an occasion...

Jiang Xiwen froze and said nothing.

At this time, Jiang Xirou came up, pushing a wheelchair with a thin woman sitting on it.

"Mom, this is Jinmo. She saved you this time!"

"Thank you so much!" The woman wiped her eyes and tried to pull her with trembling hands. The back of her hands were full of needle holes and traces of infusion.

Ye Jinmo bent down, smiled lightly, held her hand tightly, and took her pulse at the same time.

"Aunt Feng, you are recovering well! If you keep receiving treatment, you will live a long life!"

Jiang Xirou's mother is Feng Sixiu.

Feng Sixiu's cloudy eyes were instantly misted over, and she looked at her daughter with some excitement.

What she was most worried about was what would happen to her daughter in this cannibalistic Jiang family once she left.

"Child, I have nothing to thank you for, except this bracelet..." Feng Sixiu said, taking off the emerald bracelet on her wrist, "I hope you don't dislike it!"

Ye Jinmo could tell from the quality that this jade was priceless and definitely not just ordinary jade!

Before she could refuse, a mocking male voice came from behind: "Oh, Auntie, how can you have the nerve to give this antique to Miss Zhong? What if you pass on your illness to her?"
