Chi Yan coughed lightly and took another sip of wine. He originally wanted to get close to Mu Xiaocheng and talk to her like before, but he was afraid of his brother.
Therefore, one can only maintain a safe distance.
"Sister-in-law, have you never been in a relationship or liked anyone since you were a child?"
Mu Xiaocheng blinked, her long eyelashes like small fans, lively and beautiful.
"No."
Upon hearing her answer, Young Master Chi leaned back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh.
"Sigh~"
Then, he shook his head and looked up at the direction Ji Huaishen had just left in.
"No wonder you're so silly."
Chi Yan's tone was somewhat arrogant, as if he himself were incredibly clever.
Mu Xiaocheng was unhappy.
So what if I've never been in a relationship or ever liked anyone?
To say she's stupid?
She frowned and looked up at him: "Young Master Chi, I'll give you one more chance to rephrase your words."
With a smile on his fair face, Chi Yan blinked his beautiful phoenix eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I was just praising how cute you are."
They're adorably silly.
"So, tell me, what's wrong with Ji Huaishen?"
Chi Yan crossed his legs, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Guess!"
"Guess what?! Fine, don't tell me then."
Mu Xiaocheng gave up trying to communicate with Chi Yan, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating again.
“No…” Chi Yan panicked a little.
Why isn't this girl following the expected path?
Don't you even have the most basic curiosity?
Chi Yan propped his cheek up, looked at Mu Xiaocheng's profile, and said slowly, "Didn't you notice... my brother is jealous?"
Jealous?
Mu Xiaocheng almost choked on her own saliva and looked at Chi Yan with a wistful expression.
Is Ji Huaishen jealous?
—
At this moment, Mr. Ji, feeling jealous, returned to his study and began working again.
In order to suppress his emotions, he could only do something else to distract himself.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what he might do.
Even though he knew that Chi Yan and she had nothing going on, the jealousy within him was acting up.
He wanted her to have only him in her heart and eyes, he wanted her to smile only at him, and he wanted her to belong exclusively to him.
Others cannot see it or touch it.
He wanted to possess all her beauty, her joys and sorrows, everything about her should belong to him.
Ji Huaishen put down his pen with some irritation, lowered his eyes, and looked at the name he had just signed.
Mu Mu.
Heh~
He smiled wryly, his handsome face, with its sharp features, still as strikingly beautiful as ever.
His deep eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was shrouded in an aura of decadence and gloom.
At this moment, Shang Qi knocked on the door and came in.
He stood upright in front of Ji Huaishen, holding something that looked like an invitation.
"Sir, this is an invitation letter from the Yundu government."
Ji Huaishen frowned and looked up at him coldly.
Shang Qi was taken aback. The master never attended these banquets. He preferred quiet and disliked those insincere occasions.
But this one is different.
Shang Qi continued without changing his expression, "This is a tradition in Yundu."
“Every year, the government holds a similar charity auction gala. The items auctioned are mostly provided by the Ministry of Culture, including famous paintings and calligraphy, as well as gold and silver jewelry.”
All proceeds from the auction will be used for a charitable fund.
After Shang Qi finished speaking, he cautiously looked at his master.
Ji Huaishen raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression wicked and cold: "So?"
