Upon hearing this, Qin's mother beamed. She pulled the man to her side and said proudly, "Did you hear that? Your wife said she still wants to eat the lamb leg from lunch! If you want to go back, go back by yourself. Xiaoci will stay here."
Qin Shizheng's dark and deep eyes met the little girl's calm eyes, and he said nothing.
The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
Seeing that Jian Ci's words were so disrespectful to Qin Shizheng, Xie Zhining's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
This person named Jian Ci probably thought that she could become arrogant by relying on Qin's mother's favor, but unfortunately Qin Shizheng has never been someone who is easy to control.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be addressed as "Master" at such an old age.
I'm afraid this girl's title of fiancée will come to an end.
She just sat there quietly, her decent and elegant posture hinting at the nobility of a lady from a noble family.
But the next second, Qin Shizheng reached out and gently squeezed her hand, "Are you so greedy?"
The tone was full of doting.
He was not at all displeased by her public rebuttal.
Jian Ci tilted her head and asked calmly, "No?"
Qin Shizheng's thin lips curled slightly, his brows and eyes were gentle, "Okay, then let's finish eating the lamb leg before leaving."
Such an easy-going attitude immediately made Xie Zhining pause slightly in the mockery deep in his eyes.
You have to know that Qin Shizheng always keeps his word. Once he makes a decision, basically no one can persuade him.
Even uncles and aunts find it difficult to change.
But now this girl not only made him change his decision, but also treated him with such a gentle attitude.
This caused a slight gloom to appear between her eyebrows.
Mother Qin immediately took the opportunity to say, "Don't leave after eating the lamb leg. Your uncle has an appointment to go fishing tomorrow. We'll catch fresh big fish and eat sashimi."
Qin Shizheng's smile immediately faded, "We won't stay overnight."
But relying on Jian Ci's support, Mother Qin said fearlessly, "If you don't stay overnight, Xiao Ci can stay overnight."
However, what she didn't expect was that Qin Shizheng gently pulled the person back from his mother's hands, his eyes dark as he said, "She is nothing."
This made Qin's mother very angry.
He immediately sought support from Jian Ci, "Xiao Ci, what do you think?"
Jian Ci looked at Qin Shizheng deeply.
She knew that this guy was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep well here without medicine.
A smile couldn't help but cross the corner of his mouth.
Then he said to Qin's mother beside him: "I will come over to eat sashimi tomorrow."
This sentence made Qin's mother stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Okay, then I'll ask your uncle to catch a few more tomorrow."
Jian Ci nodded, "Yeah."
Seeing how Jian Ci knew when to advance and when to retreat, Xie Zhining understood why she was able to win Qin Shizheng's heart.
This woman really has a way.
Don't offend both sides.
He's a person who can read people's expressions.
However, most men may be tempted by this kind of docility and subtlety, but for a man like Qin Shizheng, it is not a long-term solution.
It's just a passing interest at best.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhining smiled slightly and said, "Since Miss Jian likes to eat so much, we have a small dinner party in the circle in a few days, why not come together?"
Jian Ci refused without a second thought: "No need."
Xie Zhining pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "Are you worried that you don't know him? It doesn't matter. We've all been friends in the same circle since we were little. Zheng knows him too, so it's a good opportunity to introduce him to me."
She looked like she was thinking about Jian Ci.
But in fact, it was more of a test to see whether Qin Shizheng was willing to bring people into the circle.
In other words, this incident was used to intensify the conflict between the two people.
After all, once she is brought into the circle, it means that her position is stable.
A dodder like Jian Ci would definitely not miss this opportunity.
By then, her ambitions will be fully exposed.
However, what Xie Zhining didn't expect was that Jian Ci refused without even looking up, "Not interested."
Now it was Xie Zhining's turn to be stunned.
Being so cautious and careful that she doesn't even want a formal status, this girl is indeed very patient.
No wonder Qin's mother likes it so much.
After Xie Zhining was sure that Jian Ci couldn't change her mind, she could only turn her gaze to Qin Shizheng, a soft look in her eyes. "Where's Ah Zheng? Those people saw that I was back and wanted to have a party. Why don't you come and have some fun? Don't stay at home all the time. Everyone misses you."
Unfortunately, Qin Shizheng also gave three words: "Not interested."
Xie Zhining paused for a moment.
Fortunately, Qin's mother came to smooth things over at this time, saying, "Xiao Ning, this brat is so stubborn that even I can't persuade him, so don't waste your energy."
But Xie Zhining joked, "Aunt Qin, although you and I can't persuade her, Miss Jian will definitely be able to."
Jian Ci, who was dragged into the game again, finally raised her head and looked at Xie Zhining with a half-smile, "Miss Xie, do you like me very much?"
Xie Zhining was stunned for a moment, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he still said politely: "Yes... yes..."
Jian Ci smiled and said, "How about we meet up alone the day after tomorrow?"
Xie Zhining didn't expect her to be so direct. After a few seconds of silence, he smiled and said, "Miss Jian, are you shy and don't want to meet those people? Actually, they are all friends of Zheng and me."
Jian Ci listened to her calling him Ah Zheng all the time and couldn't help but sigh, "Since Miss Xie doesn't like it, then forget it."
Seeing her trying to put the blame on herself, Xie Zhining quickly looked at Qin Shizheng and explained, "No, it's just that I think more people will make it more lively and everyone can have more fun."
Unfortunately, Qin Shizheng's eyes didn't move to her at all.
Instead, he kept looking at Jian Ci with a faint smile on his face.
Especially the little girl's subsequent words, "That's a shame, I like it when the moon is dark and the wind is strong and there's no one around."
This made Xie Zhining completely at a loss for words for a moment.
Before he could say anything else, Jian Ci stood up, said she was going to the bathroom, and left.
Obviously, he doesn't want to stay here and talk nonsense.
It was the first time that Xie Zhining was at a disadvantage when dealing with a girl.
Feeling unwilling, she looked at Qin's mother, pursed her lips, and smiled with a touch of embarrassment, "Aunt Qin, does Miss Jian not like me very much?"
As soon as the voice fell, Qin Shizheng, who had not yet left, said: "No, you are wrong, she likes you, so she took the initiative to ask you out."
Seeing him being so protective of his child, Xie Zhining couldn't help but taunt him, "Ask me when it's dark and windy and there's no one around?"
Qin Shizheng then asked, "Isn't it good?"
Faced with Qin Shizheng's partiality, Xie Zhining knew that if she continued, she would be the only one to suffer. So she hooked the hair by her ear and smiled elegantly, "I just didn't expect Miss Jian to have such different interests."
Unexpectedly, Qin Shizheng nodded and said, "Well, she has always been different."
Xie Zhining was so angry at his words that he almost collapsed.
In the end, I could only say a few perfunctory words and found an excuse to leave.
