Xu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. She had been bending down and gently stroking Ji Longyue's flesh with her fingertips, but now she froze completely.
Was Ji Hanchen's statement a confession?
But he clearly said before that he didn't have those feelings for her.
"Ji Hanchen, what do you mean?" Xu Qingyun looked at Ji Hanchen coldly and distantly.
Ji Hanchen's heart skipped a beat.
I just felt the atmosphere was nice, so I couldn't help but speak my mind.
But the little girl seemed very unhappy.
Ji Hanchen tried his best to remain calm, and a low chuckle slowly rose from his lips, "Just wanted to tease you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyun immediately became somewhat annoyed.
Should I tease her?
Can you really say "I like you" so casually, like it's a joke?!
For Ji Hanchen, something as serious as "liking you" is actually a fun thing?
Xu Qingyun's voice turned even colder: "Ji Hanchen, I'm not one of those naive young girls. Don't try to fool me with these low-level jokes."
Ji Hanchen's smile faded. "Do you hate it when people say they like you, or do you simply hate it when I say it?"
"I hate you!" Xu Qingyun said coldly.
She had come here because she was feeling troubled, and she was happy to see Ji Longyue.
But now all that good mood is gone.
The two parted on bad terms.
Ji Hanchen offered to take Xu Qingyun home, but she insisted on taking a taxi herself. Ji Hanchen, feeling a bit piqued, didn't insist.
Once inside the car, Ji Hanchen's face was cold and stern, as if covered in frost.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Chiang Hsun: "What do you think about confessions? Shouldn't a girl be happy to hear 'I like you'? Why would she be angry?"
Chiang Hsun thought to himself, "Dude, I've been single for thirty years, I don't understand."
However, he did recall his time as a simp in high school.
While waiting at a traffic light, Jiang Xun turned around and said earnestly, "President Ji, this is what unrequited love is like. Because you're afraid of not even being able to be friends, you carefully keep that feeling hidden in your heart."
"A crush?" Ji Hanchen asked incredulously. "You mean I have a crush on Yunyun?"
Isn't he pursuing Yunyun?
Chiang Hsun blinked. "Isn't that right?"
But he wouldn't dare say that.
"Of course not, Mr. Ji."
Ji Hanchen gave Jiang Xun a cold look, his ears burning slightly, and he lowered his long eyelashes in embarrassment.

Ji Group.
Fang Qing was dressed in a white business suit, her wavy hair flowing down her back, exuding charm without being vulgar.
Upon seeing Ji Hanchen, Fang Qing quickened her pace in her high heels, "Mr. Ji, you're back?"
"Hmm." Ji Hanchen didn't look at her.
Fang Qing followed Ji Hanchen.
Ji Hanchen suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Secretary Fang, if someone confessed their feelings to you, would you be angry?"
"President Ji?" Fang Qing asked, puzzled.
Ji Hanchen said indifferently, "I have a friend who has liked a girl for six years. He confessed his feelings today, but the girl is very angry."
Fang Qing asked, "What did President Ji's friend say when he confessed his feelings?"
Ji Hanchen hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I like you."
Just as Fang Qing was about to speak, a casual glance caused her alluring eyes to widen instantly.
At the same time, everyone else took a slight breath.
"Wow, she's so beautiful! Who is she?"
Ji Hanchen also looked over, and a hint of tenderness immediately appeared in his cold eyes as he strode over.
"Yunyun, what brings you here?"
Ji Hanchen was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected Xu Qingyun to come to the company to see him.
Xu Qingyun handed over the shopping bag in her hand: "This is what you left behind, wash it clean."
The clothes were the ones she had been wearing since returning from Shuiyunzhai that day.
After Ji Hanchen left, she took it to the dry cleaners, and just picked it up on the way here to bring it to him.
Xu Qingyun never imagined she would hear Ji Hanchen say "I like you" to someone else.
It seems that Ji Hanchen can say "I like you" to anyone.
It's ridiculous that she felt her heart race and became flustered and disoriented because of those words.
Ji Hanchen asked softly, "Yunyun, shall we have dinner together?"
"I'm used to being alone and don't like being disturbed."
After speaking coldly, Xu Qingyun nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Everyone stared at that beautiful and charming figure, unable to look away for a long time.
Fang Qing squinted her eyes. What a unique and charming girl.
Judging from Mr. Ji's expression, this girl must be very important to him.
The friend that Mr. Ji mentioned earlier was actually himself.
Seeing Ji Hanchen look away, Fang Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, from a girl's perspective, no one dislikes being liked, unless she strongly resists or even hates that person. Your friend must be disliked by that girl."
Ji Hanchen's aura instantly turned icy cold.
Resistance, even disgust? Xu Qingyun...hates him?
Outside the Ji Group building.
Ji Lun stopped the sports car, leaned on the steering wheel, and looked at Xu Qingyun with a mocking expression.
"Xiaoyun, are you here to see my uncle?"
Xu Qingyun ignored her.
Ji Lun followed her in his car. "You refuse to get back together with me because of your uncle."
"That's right. He's the heir to the Ji family and will be in charge of the entire massive Ji family in the future. Of course, he's better off than me."
Xu Qingyun said unhappily, "Ji Lun, my problem with you has nothing to do with Ji Hanchen. Don't drag other people into this."
Ji Lun ignored him and continued to mock, "However, as your ex, I must remind you that my uncle is not a good person."
