Chapter 155 It was still Tan Zhaojing who created this deliberate act.
A casual remark made Lin Zaoyi's heart skip a beat.
Does she have it?
Maybe so.
Relying on his indulgence of her two years ago, he unconsciously unleashed his little temper without even realizing it.
There were still more than half a bunch of blueberries left in front of her. Lin Zaoyi grabbed a handful and used eating as a way to change her mind, saying, "I'm dealing with the issue, not the person."
“When you come to me, you’re dealing with both the issue and the person.”
"..."
If you love arguing so much, why don't you play mahjong? You can even win big on a winning hand.
Xi Xi's voice chimed in, "Hey you two, dinner's ready!"
Couple my foot!
Just as Lin Zaoyi finished muttering to herself, Tan Zhaojing's voice rang in her ears, "Eat less sour food on an empty stomach."
She had originally planned to throw the blueberries in her hand into the trash can, but upon hearing this, she popped them all into her mouth. To avoid being accused by the man of only being tough on him, she gave him a polite smile and said, "Mr. Tan, please go first."
Tan Zhaojing: "..."
Stubborn.
The door to the private room was pushed open at that moment, and three people rushed in: Ji Boshen, Tan Jiani, and Tan You.
Tan Yougang had just finished filming and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when Jin Xi called him over. Tan Jiani was just coincidentally out shopping nearby, while Ji Boshen arrived late.
Tan You hung the sunglasses piled on his head on his shirt collar, spread his arms and walked towards Zao Yi. Before he got close, his cousin's eyes shot over, but he still risked it and gave Zao Yi a half-hearted hug. "I missed you so much, brother."
Lin Zaoyi gave a weak, sour smile. "Have you found me a sister-in-law yet?"
There is no sister-in-law, but Tan You was pleased with the title, saying, "My career is my priority right now."
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at his cousin in a provocative manner, but Tan Zhaojing ignored him and turned his gaze to the stubborn one, saying, "Let's eat. Don't keep everyone waiting."
Lin Zaoyi unconsciously uttered an "oh," but immediately realized as soon as the sound left her mouth that she had answered him.
No, this habit needs to be corrected.
He nodded past Tan You and nodded to Ji Baishen, "President Ji, it's been a long time."
Ji Boshen: "It hasn't been that long compared to them."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to them, including Tan Zhaojing.
Ji Baishen didn't need them to ask; he took the initiative to say, "I was on a business trip to Zurich a year and a half ago."
Lin Zaoyi added at the opportune moment, "Yes, unfortunately, I'm sick."
Suddenly, President Ji approached and stopped half a meter away, speaking in a tone that the two of them could hear, "Do you want to talk about your sleep-talking about Tan Zhaojing?"
"...Is there?"
"have."
The tone was extremely certain.
Lin Zaoyi awkwardly touched her nose. "Then she must be delirious from the fever."
"What are you doing? What are you doing!"
Tan Jiani stepped between the two, saying, "Why are you whispering to each other?"
Ji Baishen glanced at the girl indifferently, "You really worry yourself sick over your brother."
Tan Jia Ni took it as a compliment from Brother Bai Shen and didn't ask any further questions. The reason was simple: her sixth sense told her that Brother Bai Shen had already let go of Lin Zao Yi.
The others noticed this as well, so none of them bothered to ask. Only one person's eyes grew increasingly dark, but at that moment, everyone's attention was not on him; they were all hungry and moved toward the restaurant.
Lin Zaoyi followed, and as she passed Tan Zhaojing, she couldn't help but glance at him. It was just an unintentional glance, but she unexpectedly met his gaze again. At that moment, the man's deep eyes were filled with cold indifference.
"Zaoyi, come quickly!" Xixi called out.
Lin Zaoyi pretended to look away casually and responded nonchalantly, while her mind was racing: What's wrong with Tan Zhaojing?
You can't guess; his thoughts have always been unpredictable.
After everyone sat down to eat, Tan Zhaojing was the last to arrive. He had no choice in his seat, while the others were observant but too lazy to move.
Duan Lin, being straightforward and outspoken, said, "Tan Zhaojing, just sit there. Zaoyi doesn't want to talk to you right now."
Lin Zaoyi: ? ? ?
This is a complete injustice.
Between her and Tan Zhaojing, it was Tan Zhaojing who didn't want to talk to her.
The person didn't respond, and she didn't say anything more either, since it wasn't a question directed at her.
As the dishes were served one after another, Ji Baishen noticed again that whenever those dishes passed through the morning ceremony, the speed of the automatic turntable would slow down. This was not a coincidence, but intentional.
It was Tan Zhaojing who created this deliberate act.
Lin Zaoyi was completely unaware of all this. While eating, she still chatted with Xixi and Jia Ni. Even after putting down her chopsticks, she kept talking until she saw Xixi swallow a pill in a normal manner.
The curve of his lips instantly straightened.
With a flick of her fingertips, she gently rubbed Xi Xi's face. With just that one gesture, Meng Jin Xi understood. She blinked and smiled, "A very accurate fortune teller told my fortune and said that I could cause trouble until I'm eighty years old."
Lin Zaoyi wanted to laugh along, but tears welled up in her eyes first. "Yeah, let's wreak havoc together until we're eighty."
"You mustn't cry anymore." Meng Jinxi pressed her eyes and used one hand to call Zhaojing, "Zaoyi didn't drive, you take her home."
Lin Zaoyi didn't dare trouble him. "No need, I'll ride in Tan You's car."
Tan You consciously wanted to be a good person, even if it wasn't on his way.
Tan Jiani chimed in, "Don't even ask me."
Duan Lin was too lazy to get involved and simply left first.
Ji Baishen politely asked, "Want to ride in my car?"
Lin Zaoyi immediately refused. She could sense that President Ji no longer had the same feelings for her as before. Even so, she still couldn't accept it, simply because she had promised Tan Zhaojing.
Her arm was grabbed, and just from the domineering force, she knew who it was. She turned her head, and Tan Zhaojing said expressionlessly, "I'm going to Green County to pick something up on the way."
What he was talking about was probably his shirt.
Lin Zaoyi agreed.
The car was parked in front of the clubhouse with its hazard lights on.
Once in the car, their eyes didn't meet. Each occupied one side of the car, one sitting awkwardly staring out the window, the other with half-closed eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
The driver started the vehicle and drove towards Green County.
After a short while of silence, the driver's voice came from the carriage: "To Jingwan."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zaoyi's gaze, which had been drifting out the window, suddenly shifted to him. "What?"
Tan Zhaojing said, "Your things are in Jingwan, so we'll take yours first."
Involuntarily, Lin Zaoyi connected the matter that Xixi had mentioned, that a female celebrity was pursuing Zhaojing.
Yes, we're about to start a new life, how can there be other women's things in the house?
Suppressing the stinging sensation in her nose, she said with an unreadable expression, "I won't go. Could you please pack it up and send it to me, Mr. Tan?"
Tan Zhaojing turned around and glanced at him. "You want me to pack your clothes for you?"
"...Just throw it away."
"I'll throw it away myself; I don't have time."
Lin Zaoyi was taken aback by these words for half a second, then decided to go all out and said, "Then just put it there."
Tan Zhaojing countered, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Not suitable!"
Driven by jealousy, Lin Zaoyi blurted out before she thought, "I promise I'll cover it up completely, so your girlfriend won't notice a thing!"
These words were like a double-edged sword, cutting wounds to varying degrees on both of them.
The driver in the front seat silently raised the partition. He had decided that from now on, whenever Ms. Lin was in the car, he would raise the partition immediately.
