Chapter 342: The Hardest Mouth
Lu Qingshuang returned to the living room and scanned the room. She did not see Ji Yuanzhou and felt a little disappointed.
She walked to Ling Yao and sat down, listening absentmindedly to the conversation of Ling Yao and the others.
"Qingshuang."
Lu Qingshuang came back to her senses and turned to look at Ling Yao, "Sister-in-law, did you call me?"
"Why are you absent-minded? Did you get burned just now? Let me see." Ling Yao looked at Lu Qingshuang with concern. Just now, she was about to get medicine for Qingshuang, but her third brother had already gone to get the medicine.
She could see that Qingshuang and her third brother had a good impression of each other, but they both kept it in their hearts and did not say it out loud.
Lu Qingshuang shook her head gently, "I'm fine, the medicine has been applied. It was given to me by Third Brother Ji. Where is Third Brother Ji going?"
Ling Yao smiled gently, raised her hand and pointed outside the door, "He's outside. He should be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yuanzhou walked into the living room.
"Yes, he's coming in."
Lu Qingshuang turned her head and looked. The moment their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked away.
Ji Yuanzhou seemed not to notice this scene. He walked to Ji Yuanbo with an indifferent expression and sat down next to him, talking to him.
Lu Qingshuang secretly glanced at Ji Yuanzhou several times. Seeing that he didn't even look at her, she felt disappointed.
"It's time to eat." Aunt Zhang came out.
"Let's go, let's have dinner." Ling Xuemei stood up with the help of Ling Yao. Because her belly was bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women, it was not very convenient for her to move.
The group came to the restaurant.
Ji Yuanzhou was about to sit down when Ling Yao suddenly said, "Third brother, Qingshuang has a burn. Please take care of her."
Lu Qingshuang blushed when she heard it, "I'm fine, I can do it myself." Did the eldest sister-in-law see that she liked the third brother Ji?
Ji Yuanzhou glanced at Lu Qingshuang, pursed his lips, walked over to Lu Qingshuang and sat down. Qingshuang was a guest, and she was injured, so it was his duty to take care of her.
Seeing Ji Yuanzhou sitting down next to her, Lu Qingshuang's breathing tightened, and her heart pounded uncontrollably.
"Everyone, start eating." Old Master Ji picked up his chopsticks and called everyone.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating
. Lu Qingshuang secretly glanced at Ji Yuanzhou, stretched out her hand to pick up a chopstick of the dish closest to her, and slowly started eating.
"Do you like fish?" Ji Yuanzhou suddenly asked.
Lu Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and nodded randomly, "Yeah, I like it."
Ji Yuanzhou stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of fish meat, and was about to put it into Lu Qingshuang's bowl, but suddenly thought of something, paused, then turned his hand and put the fish meat into his own bowl.
When Lu Qingshuang saw Ji Yuanzhou pick up the fish meat for her, she showed a look of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't expect that he put the fish meat into his own bowl the next second, and her heart was filled with disappointment. It turned out that it was not for her.
Retracting her gaze, Lu Qingshuang lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl. Fortunately, she did not take the bowl to catch it, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
At this moment, a piece of fish meat fell into her bowl.
Lu Qingshuang raised her head in surprise and looked at Ji Yuanzhou in a daze.
Seeing Lu Qingshuang's silly look, Ji Yuanzhou's mouth corners unconsciously raised, "The fish bones have been shaved off."
"Ah? Oh, thank you, Third Brother Ji!" Lu Qingshuang's heart was filled with joy. It turned out that Third Brother Ji was removing the fish bones for her.
Ji Yuanzhou shook his head and smiled, "Eat it." Seeing Lu Qingshuang's smile, he was in a good mood too.
Ling Yao had been paying attention to the interaction between the two. "Third brother, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"
Ji Yuanzhou looked up at Ling Yao and smiled. "Not yet, what? Are you going to introduce a girlfriend to Third brother?"
Ling Yao glanced at Lu Qingshuang. "Yes, Third brother, what do you think of Qingshuang?"
Lu Qingshuang was eating with her head down. When she heard Ling Yao's words, she suddenly raised her head with surprise and shyness on her face. The eldest sister-in-law really knew.
"Yaoyao, don't joke like this. It's not good for Qingshuang's reputation." Ji Yuanzhou said seriously.
Lu Qingshuang lowered her head in disappointment, "Sister-in-law, I just want to focus on my studies now." It turned out that she was being sentimental. Third Brother Ji didn't like her, otherwise he wouldn't have rejected her so bluntly.
Ling Yao glared at Ji Yuanzhou speechlessly, "Third brother, you have a tough mouth, be careful or you will end up in the crematorium if you chase your wife in the future."
After dinner, Lu Qingshuang said goodbye. Since Third Brother Ji didn't like her, there was no point for her to stay here.
Ji Yuanzhou looked at Lu Qingshuang's back as she left, hesitated for a moment, and still chased after her. It was night time now, and although the two families were not far away, it was always dangerous for Lu Qingshuang to walk alone at night.
Ji Yuanzhou followed Lu Qingshuang not far away, protecting her secretly.
Lu Qingshuang was walking absentmindedly when she bumped into someone. She raised her head and was about to apologize when she saw that the person was Chu Yuan. She smiled slightly, "Third Brother Chu!"
Chu Yuan raised his lips, "Why are you alone?"
"My eldest brother and his wife and I went to the Ji family to celebrate the New Year today. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I left alone."
"I just want to go home. I'll take you home." Chu Yuan saw that Lu Qingshuang's face was red from the cold, so he took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.
"I'm not cold, you can wear it yourself." Lu Qingshuang quickly took off the coat and gave it back to Chu Yuan.
"It's okay, you wear it. You see your face is red from the cold, be careful not to catch a cold." Chu Yuan smiled and put the coat on Lu Qingshuang again, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
"Thank you, Third Brother Chu!" Lu Qingshuang smiled and nodded, and walked side by side with Chu Yuan towards the direction of Lu's house.
Ji Yuanzhou stood not far away, quietly watching the backs of Lu Qingshuang and Chu Yuan getting farther and farther away, and an inexplicable feeling of irritation surged in his heart.
After a long while, Ji Yuanzhou turned around and slowly walked towards the direction of Ji's house.
Along the way, the scene just now kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but kick the snow on the ground hard, "What's wrong with me? I obviously don't like her, why do I feel so uncomfortable seeing her with Chu Yuan?"
Ling Yao saw Ji Yuanzhou coming back with an unhappy face, and raised his eyebrows playfully, "Third brother, did you send Qingshuang home?"
Ji Yuanzhou did not answer Ling Yao's words, and walked towards the stairs without saying a word. He just wanted to be quiet now.
Seeing this, Ji Yanting was a little unhappy and was about to call Ji Yuanzhou.
"Dad! Let's play a game of chess." Lu Qingyun said.
"Okay." Ji Yanting retracted his gaze, stood up and walked towards the study with Lu Qingyun.
"Mom! Let's go watch Dad and Qingyun play chess." Ling Yao helped Ling Xuemei up, stepped up and followed Lu Qingyun and Ji Yanting.
After closing the study door, Ling Yao and the other three sat down on the sofa in the study.
"Qingyun, Yaoyao, do you have anything to tell us?" Ji Yanting looked at Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun.
