Xu Qingyun looked down at Ji Hanchen, her voice instantly filled with panic, "Ji Hanchen, let go! I don't like this kind of contact!"
Ji Hanchen was taken aback, suddenly remembering what Xu Qingyun had said that morning.
She must have been traumatized after experiencing that terrible thing.
Ji Hanchen released his hand as if he had been electrocuted, his voice full of heartache, "Okay, Yunyun can do it herself."
His tone was like that of someone coaxing a child, and Xu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat.
She thought she was the cold-hearted type, not a delicate girl, but being cared for so carefully made her nose sting with tears.
Xu Qingyun slid her hands down the sides of the cheongsam, straightened it, and then sat on the shoe stool with her knees together, tilted to the left. She then gently took off her high heels.
"Yunyun, it's still early. I'll take you to the guest room to rest, and I'll call you when dinner is ready, okay?"
Xu Qingyun nodded and went up to the second floor via the swallowtail staircase.
Ji Hanchen pushed open the door to the south bedroom, his tall and straight figure standing in the doorway, without taking another step into the room.
"This will be your room from now on. The furniture has been replaced, and the bedding was personally custom-made by the servants at the old house."
"The curtains are your favorite cream color, clean and refreshing. You like bunnies, so the curtain tiebacks are decorated with little bunnies."
"The room has a bay window, and I personally selected all the succulents from the flower market."
"I don't know how to raise them. I heard that they need to be taken care of carefully, so I'll leave them to Yunyun from now on."
At this point, a glint flashed in Ji Hanchen's dark eyes, but he didn't let Xu Qingyun see his little scheme.
Decorating according to her preferences is to make her feel comfortable living here.
I planted these succulents to keep her connected to the place, so that even if she didn't want to live here anymore, she would still think about them.
Ji Hanchen pursued Xu Qingyun at a leisurely pace, hoping the young girl would gradually fall in love with him.
Xu Qingyun looked around the room, feeling a mix of emotions—a sense of being cared for and cherished.
However, their relationship is unclear, so it's not appropriate for them to live here.
"Ji Hanchen, I'll stay for two days. I'll move out once I find a new place."
“Okay.” Ji Hanchen did not refuse, otherwise he was sure the girl would have turned around and left immediately.
"Yunyun, take a nap first."
"Okay," Xu Qingyun agreed.
After waiting for Ji Hanchen to turn and leave, she closed the door and then locked it.
Although it was a completely unfamiliar environment, Ji Hanchen had thought things through carefully, so his unease was not obvious.
Xu Qingyun walked into the dressing room, a space of more than 20 square meters, which was neatly filled with various cheongsams, dresses, gowns, and trousers.
Ji Hanchen was prepared for all four seasons.
The innermost wall is a glass display case with dozens of designer handbags, worth hundreds of millions.
That's incredibly extravagant.
Xu Qingyun frowned. Ji Hanchen's actions were putting a lot of pressure on her, as if he wanted to keep her here forever.
Ji Hanchen hadn't actually left; he was leaning against the wall, listening to what was happening inside.
When there were no footsteps, he curled his thin lips into a smile, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt as he went downstairs, revealing half of his sexy and muscular forearm.
Ji Hanchen walked into the kitchen, took out three eggs and a box of silken tofu from the refrigerator, then opened the Little Sweet Potato app and found the recipe for egg-wrapped tofu.
Xu Qingyun couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she lay down, she remembered how Ji Hanchen had taken care of her all night, so she went downstairs.
The morning sunlight streamed into the kitchen, as if gilding Ji Hanchen with a layer of golden light.
Ji Hanchen is truly a perfect man, with a meticulously sculpted face and a perfectly proportioned physique. Even ignoring his innate noble and aloof aura, he can still captivate people with just a profile view.
Xu Qingyun's gaze followed the man's forearm downwards; he was chopping scallions.
Ji Hanchen's fingers are long and slender with distinct knuckles, making them sexy and charming. Anyone with a hand fetish might be driven crazy by them.
Just as Xu Qingyun was staring blankly at Ji Hanchen, the man in the kitchen suddenly turned his head and looked over, his thin lips curving slightly.
"Is Yunyun staring at me like a trance again?" Ji Hanchen's voice was clear and pleasant, like a mellow and intoxicating wine.
Xu Qingyun snapped out of her daze, her fair and jade-like cheeks flushing pink.
Just as she was about to reply, Ji Lun called. Her expression instantly hardened, and she quietly moved to the living room before answering the call.
"Xiaoyun, I'm sorry. I was wrong last night. I was really drunk, that's why I acted like such a jerk. Please forgive me."
Xu Qingyun's voice was deep and cold, "You think 'I was drunk' can explain your beastly behavior last night?!"
"Xiaoyun, I know I'm a jerk, but I really drank too much. I wasn't like this when I was pursuing you, right?"
Ji Lun's voice was hoarse, filled with deep regret.
Xu Qingyun looked at the distant villa, her expression cold and distant. "If you're just calling to apologize, there's no need."
“But Ji Lun, I will not marry you. Even if my grandfather told me to take the jade pendant to you before he died, I will not keep my promise.”
Ji Lun frowned, momentarily stunned.
Jade pendant?
What was her grandfather's dying wish?
What exactly happened?
He didn't know Xu Qingyun's grandfather at all before.
"Jilun, I will return the jade pendant to you." Xu Qingyun's cold voice came again.
Ji Lun's eyes flashed, "Xiao Yun, I will not take back the jade pendant."
"I've liked you for two whole years, and I really don't want to give up on you. Please forgive me, okay? I promise I won't touch you again."
Xu Qingyun didn't give Ji Lun a chance to continue nagging and hung up the phone directly.
She couldn't understand why her grandfather wanted her to marry Ji Lun.
