Just after 7:30 in the morning, Xu Qingyun got ready to go out.
Someone brought over a painting by Tang Bohu yesterday for restoration, so she needs to come early.
As soon as the door opened, Ji Lun was holding a large bouquet of white roses. Xu Qingyun was startled for a moment, and her eyebrows, which resembled distant mountains, furrowed slightly.
Ji Lun smiled and said, "Good morning, baby."
Ji Lun was born with rosy lips and white teeth, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. Paired with a cream-colored sweater, he looked handsome no matter how you looked at him.
But when Xu Qingyun recalled the video Ji Hanchen had sent her last night, she felt a surge of annoyance. "Ji Lun, let's part amicably. Don't call me 'baby' anymore."
Ji Lun's smile turned colder. "Xiao Yun, you promised yesterday that you would consider it. Is this your answer?"
Xu Qingyun looked up at him, "You slept with Xu Jia, and now you're asking me for an answer? Isn't that disgusting enough?"
After saying that, she locked the door and prepared to leave.
Ji Lun followed ingratiatingly, "Xiao Yun, let me explain. Xu Jia and I were just playing along. She was my fiancée arranged by my mother. If I didn't act, my mother would never let it go."
“I let Xu Jia leave last night. You can check my home security camera footage if you don’t believe me. That house is our marital home. I can’t let any other woman near it.”
Before Xu Qingyun could speak, Xu Jia called.
"Xu Qingyun, you bitch, don't think you can become a phoenix by hooking up with your uncle."
"Let me tell you, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ji family, handpicked by Grandpa Ji. I can get my uncle to dump you, and he won't say a word against it!"
Xu Qingyun patiently hung up, blocked, and deleted the record, her actions flowing smoothly.
Xu Jia is brainless; I hate her.
And then there's Ji Lun. It's all a mix of truth and falsehood, and she's no longer sure if it was right for her to accept Ji Lun's advances.
"Jilun, don't make me hate you even more."
Xu Qingyun shook off Ji Lun, but Ji Lun immediately blocked her way in his Porsche Panamera, saying, "Baby, I'll take you."
Xu Qingyun took a slight breath, her eyes revealing her displeasure.
Ji Lun was just as shameless when he was pursuing her.
Squeak.
With a screech of brakes, the Bentley came to a stop. Chiang Hsun opened the door and got out, opening the rear door as well.
Ji Hanchen wore a silver-gray suit, the fabric of which was of high quality and the tailoring exquisite, perfectly showcasing his slender and perfect figure.
He put down his phone, glanced at Xu Qingyun, and his subtle movements carried an indescribable air of nobility.
"Yunyun, get in the car." Ji Hanchen's voice was deep and melodious, like that of a cello.
Xu Qingyun nodded, bent down, and got into the car.
Ji Hanchen gave Ji Lun a warning glance out of the corner of his eye, signaling Jiang Xun to close the car door and drive away.
Ji Lun leaned against the sports car door with one hand, his almond-shaped eyes following the Bentley.
The more Xu Qingyun acted this way, the more Ji Lun wanted to have her!
**
Inside the Bentley, Xu Qingyun thanked them as soon as she got in.
"Yunyun, don't be shy with me," Ji Hanchen said, taking the insulated lunchbox from his side.
A hint of confusion appeared on Xu Qingyun's fair face, her hands still folded on her lap.
Her fingers were long and delicate, and her nails were clean and pinkish without any colorful decorations.
Xu Qingyun always gave Ji Hanchen a feeling of clarity and purity, like a flawless piece of jade.
Ji Hanchen curled his thin lips, unsure whether to laugh or cry at her wariness and aloofness.
He unscrewed the insulated lunchbox; the red date and millet porridge had already formed a layer of rice oil, and the other two layers contained steamed buns and a peeled tea egg.
Jiang Xun said with a smile, "Miss Xu, this is breakfast that President Ji specially arranged for the old house to prepare for you."
"Shut up." Ji Hanchen pretended to scold him, but the corners of his mouth turned up.
Xu Qingyun pursed her lips. It would seem a bit pretentious not to eat, so she said "thank you" and took the chopsticks that Ji Hanchen handed her.
She ate in small bites.
Chiang Hsun drove very slowly and very steadily, glancing at his CEO through the rearview mirror every now and then.
The aloof and domineering CEO Ji was actually watching Miss Xu eat breakfast with a tender expression, like a lovesick fool.
He loves her very much.
Jiang Xun smiled like an aunt, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly slammed on the brakes, the meat bun instantly rubbing against Xu Qingyun's lips.
Jiang Xun quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, President Ji."
Ji Hanchen frowned and glared at Jiang Xun, then took out a wet wipe, cupped Xu Qingyun's left cheek with one hand, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth with the other.
Xu Qingyun's body stiffened, "Myself..."
"Alright." Ji Hanchen chuckled indulgently. "If it weren't for Jiang Xun, I wouldn't have seen Yunyun's embarrassed look, like a cute and obedient little kitten."
Xu Qingyun's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her long, thick eyelashes to hide her unease.
Her heart was beating a little fast.
"Wait a minute, there's still some left." Ji Hanchen leaned closer and brushed his fingertip against Xu Qingyun's lips.
Their eyes met, and a hint of ambiguity instantly rose in the air.
Jiang Xun was certain that President Ji did it on purpose!
Ji Hanchen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his hand seemed to be stuck to Xu Qingyun's lips, taking a long time to move it away.
I really want to kiss him.
But having already been treated like a lecher, Ji Hanchen ultimately endured it.
This greatly worried Jiang Xun. At this rate, when would President Ji ever catch up?
Xu Qingyun remained quiet throughout the rest of the journey.
She actually knew that Ji Hanchen's special visit to her was probably more than just bringing breakfast.
But she knew whether Ji Hanchen was interested in her because of her grandfather or because he had feelings for her.
If it's the latter, was it simply because he was attracted to her beauty, or was he truly smitten?
On the other side.
