Country Z time will reach 22:00 late at night.
As the most hidden and mysterious city in Country Z, Jingcheng's nighttime lighting system is naturally low-key and inconspicuous.
At this moment, all the street lights on both sides of the entrance to the city are turned on.
However, the light that was cast was particularly dim.
Even so.
Xiao Yi's cold and sharp gaze on him made Ji Yuqi's heart alarm bells ring.
She didn't understand the reason for the murderous aura that could not be suppressed in Xiao Yi's eyes.
She didn't understand why he was staring at her nakedly without blinking.
I shouldn't have offended him, right?!
This man parked his car, rolled down the window, and gave me a cold look. Are you sure you're not seriously ill?!
Ji Yuqi faced Xiao Yi's extremely unfriendly eyes and frowned little by little. It was not until she followed Xiao Yi's gaze and lowered her eyelids that she suddenly realized.
Just now, when I was still in Pei's Hotel, Fu Sheng's call came unexpectedly.
In addition, the situation was not explained over the phone.
So Ji Yuqi didn't even change his clothes when he went out.
In fact, I never noticed this detail.
It was just when she got off the car that Fu Sheng came to help her open the door and handed her his coat. Only then did Ji Yuqi react belatedly.
Originally, she had no intention of answering the call.
after all.
A man's coat is a private item.
Ambiguous and intimate.
It cannot be touched casually.
But.
It's never a good idea to walk around in your pajamas.
Besides, she and Qing Shi were not familiar with each other.
Is it possible to meet in pajamas?!
so.
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Yuqi finally took it and put it on himself when getting off the car.
At this moment, noticing Xiao Yi's increasingly terrifying gaze, Ji Yuqi subconsciously turned sideways to avoid him.
And the man standing next to her should have also understood where Xiao Yi's malicious aura came from, so before Ji Yuqi turned sideways, he took the initiative to block her behind him.
Directly cut off Xiao Yi's crushing momentum.
Xiao Yi was immediately amused.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all. He glanced at Fu Sheng indifferently. He was obviously much shorter than him sitting in the car, but his expression was contemptuous and arrogant.
"What does the Patriarch of the Fu family mean by this move?! Is he afraid that I will bully Miss Ji?! He's already protecting me before I even open my mouth?!"
Pei Huaijin, who had been repeatedly telling Xiao Yi on the other end of the phone that he must make a video call to him as soon as he arrived at the Xiao family so that he could meet his precious nephew, was very confused when he heard Xiao Yi say something incomprehensible on the other end of the phone.
It took a long time for him to react.
"Master of the Fu family, Miss Ji?!"
"Fu Sheng and Ji Yuqi?!"
Pei Huaijin was so excited that he jumped up from the sofa and yelled into the phone: "Brother Xiao, haven't you reached the border of Jingcheng?! How did you run into them?! What are they doing in Jingcheng?! They want to enter the city?! Jingcheng is a key place, and they are qualified to enter it casually?!"
Compared to Xiao Yi's fierce aura, Fu Sheng's aura is much gentler.
He looked directly into Xiao Yi's eyes, a gentle smile on his face. "Although the Fu family has just arrived in the imperial capital, the reputation of the Xiao family's head, who is one of the top families in the imperial circle, for his wisdom and kindness, has long been spread among the various financial circles. There is an old saying: A tiger father will have a dog son. As the only son of the Xiao family, Master Xiao is bound to surpass his father. How could he be so picky about a girl for no reason?! Master Xiao, please don't think too much."
