Chapter 42
Ji Liao spent a "closed" weekend.
When I entered the hotel and came out, it was Sunday night.
Because I have early classes on Monday morning, it will be too late to rush back.
Ji Liao was tired and sleepy, so he took a nap in the car and then arrived home.
"I can't do it anymore. I really can't do it."
He took a shower as soon as he got home, then got into bed and didn't want to move.
"I really need to get some sleep tonight."
"Okay, you sleep well." Wen Qiu was not tired. He tucked the quilt for Ji Liao and then went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Ji Liao fell asleep.
Wen Qiu lay down beside Ji Liao and hugged Ji Liao sideways.
After spending a few days together, Ji Liao always had the scent of his pheromones on him.
Wen Qiu was very satisfied.
*
Early Monday morning, Ji Liao was woken up by the alarm clock.
Even though they are still sleepy, they still have to go to class and work, and they really can't stay in bed.
Get up, wash, go out, and buy breakfast on the way.
Wen Qiu was still driving, and Ji Liao was sitting in the passenger seat.
“That parking space should not be given to them.”
Ji Liao realized it belatedly.
Wen Qiu followed the topic: "What's wrong?"
Ji Liao: "This way you can park your car next to mine, so I don't have to bother you to give me a ride every time."
“…It’s no trouble.”
Wen Qiu looked at the road, and took the time to reach out and pinch Ji Liao's neck:
"It's just right that you move back in with me."
Perhaps it was because the alpha was obsessed with biting the neck, there seemed to be Wen Qiu's teeth marks on the back of Ji Liao's neck.
Ji Liao regarded this action as a symbol of their intimacy.
Being kneaded so gently at this moment, Ji Liao quickly developed a conditioned reflex.
He didn't dare to say anything, so he simply took Wen Qiu's hand and held it in his palm:
"I'm going tonight?"
"Okay." Wen Qiu said, "Let Zhang Nan help you move your things during the day, and I'll pick you up directly after get off work."
"Okay!" Ji Liao smiled.
*
Ji Liao didn't want to attract attention, so he didn't let Wen Qiu drive the car into the campus. He just stopped at the gate and got out of the car.
I walked to the classroom and attended two classes in a row. After class, I had lunch with Chen Ziri and others before returning to the dormitory.
"It's so hot, so hot, so hot, I need to turn on the air conditioner!"
Chen Ziri said as he opened the door.
The cold air hit me in the face.
There was actually someone inside.
Wen Rui stood by the bed like a stake.
Beside him stood two tall and strong alphas.
The only person sitting there was someone Ji Liao knew.
"Dr. Wen?"
Ji Liao was surprised.
Affected by the alpha's strong pheromones, Wen Rui was speechless, and the people around him who had just entered the door were also speechless.
Although Chen Ziri is a beta and is not easily affected, he seems to know that something is wrong from the look on his face.
"What's going on?" He asked Ji Liao in a low voice behind him.
But Ji Liao didn't know either.
Wen Lanjun, on the other hand, smiled warmly and nodded slightly to Ji Liao: "Long time no see, Ji Liao."
"Director Wen is looking for me, is there something?"
It’s not that he is being sentimental. Wen Lanjun appeared here, and she must be looking for him.
Hearing this, Wen Lanjun stood up and answered him very straightforwardly:
"I'm here to invite you to sit with me."
Ji Liao took a half step back and covered Chen Ziri behind him.
"It's my honor that Director Wen is looking for me, haha, you can call me, you don't have to come in person, hahaha."
He laughed dryly while thinking of a countermeasure.
Wen Lanjun didn't give him any room to maneuver. Two alpha bodyguards came forward and surrounded Ji Liao. Wen Lanjun smiled and said, "I came here in person to show my sincerity."
Ji Liao: “…”
It looked like he had no choice but to leave.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s broad daylight. How could Wen Lanjun kill him?
Ji Liao was brave enough. Even though he was scared, he still nodded in agreement and walked out with Wen Lanjun.
But as soon as they left and Chen Ziri and the other two were the only ones left in the dormitory, Chen Ziri let out a cry.
"What should I do? What should I do? Who are they? How did they get in? Where are they taking Ji Liao?"
Wen Rui couldn't answer a single question.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat on the stool.
Normally, they have a good relationship with their classmates and they never use pheromones to oppress each other.
He thought they were civilized and well-mannered.
I just realized today that they are just too young.
Zhou Wei was also frightened and said in a daze: "Should we call the police?"
Chen Zili nodded frantically: "Yes, call the police, call the police immediately!"
*
Ji Liao kept touching his pockets.
The phone is there.
But he didn't dare take it out.
Until I got into Wen Lanjun's car.
He forced an excuse: "Director Wen, I want to tell my roommates. They seemed frightened just now. I'm afraid they will ask the teacher..."
Wen Lanjun was sitting next to him. The business car was spacious enough and there was enough space for them to keep a distance.
After the words fell, Wen Lanjun nodded kindly: "Okay."
Ji Liao felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly took out his cell phone.
The next second, Wen Lanjun added: "By the way, tell Wen Qiu too, don't let him go home empty-handed after get off work."
Ji Liao: “!”
Wen Lanjun didn't seem to mind Ji Liao using his cell phone. After being surprised, Ji Liao simply sent messages everywhere calmly.
Notify Chen Ziri and the others first and tell them not to worry.
Then notify Wen Qiu and ask him to come see you after get off work.
Finally, I asked for leave from the teacher and couldn’t go to the afternoon class.
Everyone's reactions were reasonable, except for Wen Qiu, who called.
"Hello." Ji Liao glanced at Wen Lanjun's face and answered the phone carefully.
Wen Qiu didn't waste any words: "Where?"
Ji Liao: "In Wen Dong's car."
Wen Qiu: "Don't be afraid."
Ji Liao said "hmm" and Wen Qiu hung up the phone.
Then Wen Lanjun's phone rang again.
Wen Lanjun answered quickly: "Hello?"
Ji Liao immediately pricked up his ears.
Wen Qiu didn't lose her temper. She just asked calmly, "Grandma, why did you take Ji Liao away? He still has classes."
Wen Lanjun was calm and composed: "I'll ask him to come back and sit with me. It's just a few classes, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not."
“…”
Wen Qiu was silent for two seconds, then said decisively, "Okay, I'll go too."
*
There was no conversation along the way, and Ji Liao followed Wen Lan Jun back to the suburbs.
Originally, Ji Liao thought that Wen Qiu’s villa was in a remote location.
I didn’t expect Wen Lanjun lived in an even more remote place.
It feels like a paradise.
The car drove into the gate, first passing by a garden full of colorful flowers, and stopped when it reached the main entrance.
Ji Liao and Wen Lanjun got off the car one after another.
Wen Qiu's residence was deserted. Wen Lanjun had a similar temperament to Wen Qiu. Ji Liao originally thought that Wen Lanjun's residence was the same.
Who knew that when the door opened, Ji Liao came to a completely different world.
Because the entrance was outside, Ji Liao took off his shoes before opening the door. The first thing he saw was a wooden wall-to-wall bookcase, the large space filled with books, and a gorgeous carpet extending from his feet to everywhere.
Ji Liao felt as if he was in a magic school in a fairy tale. He didn't even want to look back, for fear that the door would disappear if he did.
Wen Qiu also came very quickly.
Ji Liao had just sat down when the nanny brought him two cups of tea and Wen Qiu also came in.
In front of Wen Lanjun, Wen Qiu returned to his usual indifferent attitude.
"grandmother."
He greeted him and sat down next to Ji Liao.
Wen Lanjun picked up the teacup and drank tea. Ji Liao looked at the grandfather and grandson, and couldn't guess what kind of Tai Chi they were practicing.
But he knew that Wen Lanjun would definitely not agree with him and Wen Qiu being together.
And he certainly wouldn't listen.
Thinking of this, Ji Liao felt a little more at ease.
He picked up the tea bowl and started drinking.
After a moment of silence, Wen Lanjun said, "What are you afraid of? I won't eat him."
"At least you don't have to bring people to catch him." Wen Qiu said bluntly.
Wen Lanjun uttered a "huh".
This "huh" was exactly the same as the one Wen Qiu used to make before.
Ji Liao looked at Wen Lanjun and then at Wen Qiu.
Before he could speak, Wen Lanjun said, "I don't agree with you two dating."
Wen Qiu then said, "We don't need your consent to date."
"Oh?" Wen Lanjun raised an eyebrow and turned to Ji Liao: "Do you think so too?"
Ji Liao: “…”
Good man, you are setting a trap for him here.
He didn't want to offend Wen Lanjun, nor did he want to stab Wen Qiu in the back.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"I think Director Wen has the right to oppose us. Wen Qiu also has the right not to listen."
He is familiar with nonsense literature.
Sure enough, Wen Lanjun and Wen Qiu stopped talking at the same time.
After drinking another cup of tea in silence, Wen Qiu spoke first: "If there is nothing else, we will go back first."
He made a move to stand up, and Ji Liao also prepared to say goodbye.
Wen Lanjun said, "Lu Hongda had a sudden heart attack yesterday and passed away this morning."
Ji Liao could clearly feel Wen Qiu's movements stiffen.
He knew that in the original novel, Lu Hongda died in prison.
But what does it have to do with Wen Qiu?
Why did Wen Lanjun suddenly bring this up?
No one explained to Ji Liao.
Wen Qiu also sat back on the sofa.
"What do you want?" Wen Qiu said, "I can't break up."
Although the tone was still firm, Ji Liao could hear a hint of concession in it.
Wen Lanjun nodded with satisfaction.
"I just want Ji Liao to stay here with me for a few days so I can observe the situation. It's very simple."
Ji Liao: “?”
Wen Qiu did not object anymore, but responded:
"Okay, I'll live here too."
Ji Liao: “???”
No one asked for my opinion?
"Sorry, Mr. Wen," Ji Liao said boldly, "I still have to go to class, so it might not be convenient for me."
Wen Lanjun doesn't even care about college, so naturally he doesn't care about a few classes.
So she said, "I'll ask someone to ask for leave for you. You can just stay here with peace of mind."
After saying that, she didn't care about Ji Liao's reaction, she stood up on her own and left accompanied by her assistant.
"Do I really want to stay here?"
After Wen Lanjun left, Ji Liao asked Wen Qiu in a low voice.
Wen Qiu sighed inwardly, but nodded: "I'll accompany you, don't be afraid."
Ji Liao was not afraid, but just a little at a loss.
He even tried to persuade Wen Qiu: "Your grandmother seems even more afraid. She's afraid that I'm with you just for your money."
Wen Qiu looked at Ji Liao with a complicated expression, which was hard to describe.
Ji Liao chuckled and hugged Wen Qiu's arm: "Actually, she doesn't know that I'm not only after your money, I'm also after your body."
“…”
Wen Qiu was stunned, but couldn't help but sneered.
*
Wen Lanjun has a lot of nannies here.
And a housekeeper.
Everything Ji Liao saw was new. He didn’t feel like he was under house arrest, but rather like visiting a museum.
Wen Lanjun's words seemed to imply that she was going to make things difficult for Ji Liao.
But Wen Lanjun didn't show up at dinner, and she still didn't show up until bedtime.
Ji Liao and Wen Qiu were also arranged in the same room by the housekeeper.
Ji Liao was very puzzled: "What on earth does your grandma want to do?"
At that time, they each took a shower and lay in bed.
Wen Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she wants to know if you really like me."
"Ha!" Ji Liao turned over and lay on the bed, looking at Wen Qiu sideways.
Wen Qiu was lying face up. Ji Liao looked at his beautiful profile and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
From the forehead to the tip of the nose.
"Actually, I think she wants to observe whether I will become the second Lu Hongda."
Wen Qiu pulled Ji Liao's fingers over and kissed them on his lips.
Without him saying anything, Ji Liao continued, "Don't worry, I won't."
He said it with great confidence and reason: "I have no brains, and I don't like working."
Wen Qiu smiled and became interested in chatting. He changed his lying position to side, facing Ji Liao.
“If I quit…” Wen Qiu asked half-seriously, “Or, if I have no money, will you still be with me?”
Ji Liao was surprised: "How much money have you given me? Don't you know?"
Wen Qiu: “???”
Under Wen Qiu's doubtful gaze, Ji Liao crawled into Wen Qiu's arms and continued to talk:
"If your grandmother insists on not agreeing, and you insist on not breaking up with me, and are willing to give up your status and property, don't worry, I will support you."
“…”
Wen Qiu laughed, rubbed the back of Ji Liao's head helplessly, and then hugged Ji Liao.
His current goal is to protect Ji Liao.
*
Wen Lanjun did not show up the next day.
The third day, the fourth day, nothing.
Wen Qiu stopped going out for Ji Liao's safety. If there was anything he needed to handle, he would work online.
Even so, after a week, Ji Liao was bored to death.
"Director Wen is going to keep us here!" he sighed.
Wen Lanjun's residence is very large, and with the gardens surrounding it, ordinary people can't escape even if they want to.
But Ji Liao didn't want to run away either.
He was very open-minded: "In that case, Wen Qiu, let's stay here permanently!"
Apart from not letting them leave, the butler also granted them whatever they asked for.
So Ji Liao found the housekeeper and asked him to get him his camera and computer tripod.
He's going to start filming videos again!
As soon as he went into the kitchen, Wen Lanjun also appeared.
The kitchen in the house is very large and has both Chinese and Western cooking facilities.
When shooting videos in the past, Ji Liao always made his favorite dishes, so there were both Chinese and Western food, and he would eat them directly after shooting.
At this moment he is still preparing according to this process.
But since Wen Qiu was around, he would give priority to choosing what Wen Qiu liked to eat.
For example, boiled fish.
It was when he was processing the fish that Wen Lanjun came to him.
In order to shoot more footage, Ji Liao set up two cameras and asked the nanny and Wen Qiu to keep quiet.
But when Wen Lanjun arrived, Wen Qiu didn't say anything. The nanny greeted him first: "Hello, Mr. Wen."
Ji Liao: “…”
Being a food blogger is no secret. Wen Qiu knows it, and Wen Lanjun naturally has a way of knowing it.
So Wen Lanjun didn't ask any questions, but just watched from the side.
Ji Liao was too lazy to be hypocritical and continued to work.
After all the fish fillets were processed and it was time to change the lens, Ji Liao washed his hands and pressed the camera.
Wen Lanjun also spoke: "How long have you been studying?"
Ji Liao: "It's natural. It's a talent."
Wen Lanjun: “…”
Ji Liao couldn't figure out Wen Lanjun's intention, and decided to stay, and his mood improved a lot.
He didn't care what Wen Lanjun thought and continued, "Mr. Wen, is there anything you'd like to eat? I'm a great cook, so feel free to order."
Wen Qiu was sitting at the bar, replying to emails on his computer. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak as fast as Wen Lanjun.
Wen Lanjun was unfazed. "French mille-feuille venison tenderloin with aged port wine truffle sauce, is that okay?"
As soon as Wen Qiu heard it, he knew that Wen Lanjun was talking nonsense. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Liao spoke faster than him.
Ji Liao said, "Sure, but we'll have to do it another time. Today we're having Chinese-style fried fish slices with chili peppers and seasonal iced happy water. If Wen Dong likes spicy food, we can eat together."
“…”
Wen Qiu held his forehead.
It seems that there is no need to help Ji Liao.
Director Wen smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat together."
Ji Liao: “?”
This was something he didn't expect.
It turns out that there is a lot more than he could have imagined.
The next day at dinner, Wen Lanjun came again.
Every day after that, Wen Lanjun came to have dinner with them.
And we only eat, not chat.
Of course, Ji Liao did.
Ji Liao then discovered that Wen Lanjun and Wen Qiu had similar tastes.
On the contrary, she didn't like those Western dishes that were difficult to pronounce but sounded very high-end.
This is easy, Ji Liao will do what he is good at.
Another week passed like this.
It was still dinner time when Wen Lanjun came back.
Ji Liao was making stir-fried shredded beef. When he saw Wen Lanjun, he was not shy at all:
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Wen! I'll make another soup."
Wen Lanjun had no objection.
Before she sat down, Wen Qiu stood up and said, "Grandma, want to chat?"
After all, he was raised by Wen Lanjun. Ji Liao's good mentality is Ji Liao's advantage. Wen Qiu knows that Wen Lanjun is messing with people's mentality, and he can't just not intervene.
Wen Lanjun smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two did not chat at the dinner table, but walked away to the study.
Once the door was closed, only the grandfather and grandson were left.
"Grandma, it's useless to lock us up." Wen Qiu said, "We can't break up."
He thought that his Omega mother might have said the same thing to Wen Lanjun back then, and felt helpless.
But he was very clear: "Ji Liao is not the second Lu Hongda. He will not destroy our family."
Wen Lanjun's study is equally simple and quaint. On the large solid wooden table is placed not a computer but the four treasures of the study.
She fiddled with the brush hanging on the wall, and when Wen Qiu finished speaking, she sighed slowly:
"I'm afraid you'll become the second Wen Fang."
Ji Liao: “…”
really.
All words are powerless. No matter how much he explains, he cannot change the fact that he is fighting against his elders for love.
It seems like everything I say is wrong.
Wen Qiu simply gave up explaining.
"I just want to live a good life." Wen Qiu said: "I want to live a peaceful life."
Wen Lanjun turned her head and looked at Wen Qiu.
There was no inquiry, no questioning, no blame, and no anger in her eyes.
Nothing.
After a long while, she finally spoke:
"I also want to live a peaceful life."
Wen Qiu: “…”
"Whatever you want." Wen Lanjun laughed: "I asked you to stay with me for a few days, look how scared you are."
"……I don't."
Wen Qiu actually breathed a sigh of relief, and his attitude softened: "I will come back often in the future."
*
When the grandparents returned to the restaurant, Ji Liao had already set the table.
Seeing them, Ji Liao immediately stood up and served the rice.
"Ji Liao," Wen Qiu said, "After dinner, let's go home."
Ji Liao had just put rice into his bowl when he heard Wen Qiu's words. He picked up the bowl in disappointment and said, "Ah? I haven't lived long enough!"
Wen Lanjun looked at Ji Liao.
Ji Liao put the bowl of rice in front of her.
Wen Lanjun looked at Wen Qiu again: "If you want to stay, you can continue to stay."
"Really?" Ji Liao said happily, "Then I'll take it seriously!"
He wasn't lying. Wen Lanjun's house was so big that he had never had enough fun playing in it. He did nothing but shoot videos. It was like living in heaven.
"Ahem." Wen Qiu gestured, "We'll disturb grandma."
"I won't bother you." Wen Lanjun deliberately contradicted Wen Qiu: "I have children and grandchildren around me, how can I be bothered?"
Ji Liao said, "Oh, the housekeeper did say that if I make chili for you again, he will confiscate my camera."
“…”
Wen Lanjun laughed and could only say, "He doesn't dare."
"Why don't you come back with us?" Ji Liao said to Wen Lanjun with a smile, "You can live with us. I will cook for you every day."
“…”
This time, Wen Qiu was speechless.
Wen Lanjun's brows relaxed and he shook his head.
"I'm old, and I'm not used to living with you young people."
"That's it!" Ji Liao immediately suggested: "From now on, we can come back and stay every weekend. We can accompany you and we won't be scolded by the housekeeper. Is that okay?"
He never mentioned the period of "house arrest" or whether Wen Lanjun "agreed" with them.
The blood relationship between Wen Qiu and Wen Lanjun cannot be severed.
He just hopes Wen Qiu is well.
"Okay." Wen Lanjun's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "Wen Qiu, Xiao Ji is more sensible than you."
"Hehe, thank you Mr. Wen for the compliment." Ji Liao happily picked up some food for Wen Lanjun.
Wen Qiu: “…”
"No need to be so formal." Wen Lanjun took a bite of the dish and savored it slowly.
After swallowing it, she continued:
"When are you planning to get married?"
"puff!"
The topic changed so quickly that Ji Liao reacted the most.
Fortunately, there is no food in my mouth.
Wen Qiu continued, "Let's wait until Ji Liao graduates from university. He's still young, there's no rush."
"There's really no rush." Wen Lanjun said, "You guys decide for yourselves, and just let me know when the time comes."
"Of course I will let you know." Wen Qiu said, "You are my grandmother."
"No," Ji Liao quietly put his head on the table and interrupted the two of them: "Don't you need to ask for my opinion on things like marriage?"
Wen Lanjun didn't say anything, just ate and looked at the two of them.
Wen Qiu put down his chopsticks.
"I'll definitely ask you."
Wen Qiu said as he took out a velvet box from his pocket.
"Although the original plan wasn't to do it now, but now that we're here..."
He took Ji Liao's hand, looked directly into Ji Liao's eyes, and opened the velvet box.
"Ji Liao, will you marry me?"
Ji Liao stood up suddenly.
After being distracted for two seconds, he regained his voice and shouted:
"I do! I do! Ahhhh! I do!!!"
As soon as Wen Qiu put the ring on his finger, he couldn't wait to throw himself into Wen Qiu's arms.
No one is happier than him, no one!
At this time, Wen Lanjun had already picked up his mobile phone and silently turned on the recording mode.
Young people just love to make videos, and they certainly hope to be able to look back and watch them in the future.
Now the two of them can't take care of it at all.
Let her, an old lady, record it!
