Qiao Qing glanced at Ji Qingyi and saw that he was just silently fiddling with the packing box in his hand. She smiled gently at Cheng Yiyang.
He whispered, "Eat later."
Cheng Yiyang paused for a moment while holding the thermos box, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat later."
Ji Qingyi opened the box, and the smell of food immediately filled the air.
The aroma of the food instantly aroused Qiao Qing's appetite.
“It smells so good.”
She turned to look at Ji Qingyi, her eyes twinkling, the glimmer in them very moving, "Where did you buy it?"
Hearing this, Ji Qing also smiled, "Do you have an appetite now?"
He prepared the chopsticks and handed them to Qiao Qing, "Don't worry about where you bought them, just try them."
Qiao Qing took the chopsticks with her slender white hands and said with a very cheerful smile: "Then I'll try it."
She looked at the food in front of her with her watery eyes, and the salivation on her face was very obvious.
Cheng Yiyang put the thermos box aside, his thick black eyebrows slightly raised, "This little meal is worthy of your happiness."
Qiao Qing couldn't deny it, she smiled and said, "I just happened to be hungry, if I wasn't hungry."
His eyes rolled around, "If I wasn't hungry, I would be happy with such delicious food."
His eyes lingered on the thermos box next to Cheng Yiyang for a moment, "Bring yours here too, so I can eat with you."
The soft tone was accompanied by a smile.
"So who just said we'll eat later?"
Cheng Yiyang raised the corners of his lips and said teasingly: "You missed the good opportunity just now. Now I don't want to give it to you."
Qiao Qing's moist eyes fell on Cheng Yi Yang, and she pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, Cheng Yi Yang, are you lawless now? You dare to tease me like this."
Seeing the two laughing as if they were not paying attention to anyone else, Ji Qingyi's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes instantly became darker.
The moment he raised his eyes, he suppressed all his emotions at once, his thin lips curled slightly, and he said in a clear voice with a hint of smile: "I've tried this restaurant before, it's not bad, the taste won't disappoint you."
Cheng Yiyang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and pushed the thermal box next to Qiao Qing.
"It's definitely not as healthy as what you make at home."
He glanced at Ji Qingyi with a hint of provocation and asked, "What do you think?"
Ji Qing also ignored Cheng Yiyang's provocation.
Qiao Qing smiled and smoothed things over, "I usually eat out, too."
It looks like a lot of portion.
He looked at the two of them with a hint of inquiry, and said softly, "Have you had lunch? Do you want to eat together?"
Ji Qingyi and Cheng Yiyang looked at each other.
The eyes are secretly competing with each other.
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows, "Okay."
He took a chair from the side and sat next to Qiao Qing, not caring at all that Ji Qing was there.
Fortunately, I had wanted to have dinner with Qiao Qing before, so the food I prepared was double servings.
Ji Qingyi thought so too.
So there is really no shortage of tableware.
Ji Qingyi brought in a stool from outside and sat on the other side of Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing was the only one who enjoyed the meal.
"Why don't you eat?"
Seeing that neither of them was eating much, she felt a little strange. Her bright and lively eyes passed by Cheng Yiyang and fell on Ji Qingyi.
She smiled and joked, "Ji Qingyi, did you eat secretly behind my back? You didn't even move your chopsticks."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyi looked at Qiao Qing with his dark eyes, only to see that the smile on Qiao Qing's fair and delicate face was very lively, and her eyes were full of amusement.
He stretched out his bony hands, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a bite of food for Qiao Qing.
"I'm not really hungry yet, just watching you eat is enough."
The smile on Cheng Yiyang's lips faded a little. He rolled up his sleeves, put on disposable gloves, then reached out and picked up the crayfish, teasing: "Look, you didn't touch this at all."
After peeling it, he placed it in Qiao Qing's bowl and said with a gentle smile, "You can eat it now."
His gaze passed across Ji Qingyi's face barely perceptible.
It was really strange. Even Cheng Yiyang himself was puzzled as to why he felt that Ji Qingyi was a competitor.
Obviously with Ji Qingyi's current status, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
But thinking about what Ji Qingyi had said before about the agreement between the Han family and the Cheng family, he felt it necessary to investigate Ji Qingyi thoroughly.
Qiao Qing was flattered. She looked between the two of them and felt that something was not right in the current atmosphere.
He looked at Cheng Yi Yang with suspicion in his eyes, suspecting for the first time that the original owner's memory was wrong.
Cheng Yiyang's current behavior doesn't seem like that of just a good brother.
It was the original owner’s memory that misled her before, and she had never thought about it that way at all.
He lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the thought in his eyes.
Several people had different thoughts, and after dinner, Cheng Yiyang went back.
After all, he didn't have much time. As the general manager of a company, he was able to make time to come to Qianyu only because it was dinner time.
If Cheng's father found out, he would probably give him a good lesson.
So most of the time, he didn't dare to go beyond the norm, because in the Cheng family, many eyes were watching him, and he really couldn't dare to slack off at all.
Ji Qingyi seemed to have nothing to do. After Qiao Qing finished eating, he cleaned up the table.
Then he went back and sat down.
Busy times always pass quickly.
The sun gradually faded its light and night fell.
The nights in big cities are full of bright lights and wine, with cars and people coming and going on the streets. It is even more lively than the daytime.
Li Quanli never let it go after what happened that day. How could he let it go after suffering such a huge loss?
But he didn't dare to act rashly.
He held a glass of wine, swaying it slowly, and glanced at his follower with his dark eyes, and asked slowly: "Have you finished the investigation?"
The follower was very confused as to why Li Quanli was suddenly interested in Ji Qingyi, but he did not dare to refute.
"We followed Ji Qingyi for quite some time, but the place where he lived was really remote and poor."
They also conducted a special investigation, but Ji Qingyi was still just the down-and-out Young Master Ji, and he had no other backing at all.
"Um?"
Li Quanli put down the cup and said seriously, "Are you really following me every day?"
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why Ji Qingyi was even more stubborn than before.
The followers looked a little unnatural, but they soon straightened their backs.
"Yes. We dare not disobey your orders at all. We keep a close eye on Ji Qingyi every day. However, apart from contact with Miss Qiao, Ji Qingyi seems to have no contact with anyone else. Even the place where he lives is not worthy of your approval."
Although I may be lazy sometimes, it shouldn't be a big deal.
After all, if Ji Qingyi had any trump card, he should have revealed it when they were causing trouble. Why has he kept it to himself until now?
Li Quanli was lost in thought, so he didn't notice the change in his follower's expression.
After hearing what they said, his lips curled up and his eyes were a little fierce.
"Without a backer, Ji Qingyi still dares to go against me. Does he really think he is still the glorious Ji Shao? If it weren't for the Ji family, I would have given in to him in everything."
Since nothing could be found out during the investigation, Li Quanli could only conclude that Ji Qingyi had hooked up with the adopted daughter of the Qiao family, which was why he was so fearless.
Thinking about it this way, I felt that Ji Qingyi was really getting worse and worse, and he even fell to the point of relying on women.
The followers looked at each other in bewilderment, and then quickly said in a flattering tone: "Mr. Li, should we teach Ji Qingyi a lesson?"
Ji Qingyi’s skills really surprised them before, so they didn’t want to use force.
A follower thought for a moment and whispered in Li Quanli's ear: "Mr. Li, look at this..."
Li Quanli raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, that's a good idea, you go and do it."
He clenched his fists, "I'm going to teach Ji Qingyi a lesson this time."
It seemed that he had seen Ji Qingyi's embarrassed look, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise a little.
Ji Qingyi and Qiao Qing had no idea what was going on here.
When getting off work, seeing that Ji Qingyi had not left yet, Qiao Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, and he couldn't help but walk forward and ask with concern.
"You want me to take you back?"
Ji Qingyi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then responded in a gentle voice, "Okay."
Recently, he felt that someone was following him secretly, and was worried that Qiao Qing might have the same situation, so he always arranged someone to follow Qiao Qing and protect him secretly.
What I am worried about is the arrangements made by Mr. and Mrs. Qiao.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Qiao Qing. They are obviously his or her own son or daughter, so why could Qiao's father and mother be so partial to them?
Even though Qiao Qing was adopted, the decision to adopt was made in the first place, so why can't they fulfill their responsibilities as parents?
His dark eyes swept across Qiao Qing's delicate face, and he thought so in his heart.
However, he did not tell Qiao Qing about this speculation or this matter, because he was afraid that she would worry and be sad because of Qiao's father and mother.
"You drive."
Qiao Qing threw the key in his hand to Ji Qingyi, "It just so happens that I'm tired too."
She opened the passenger door and got in, then rubbed her temples.
I have been feeling a little tired lately, but seeing Qianyu Company gradually getting on the right track under her leadership, I feel very good.
Ji Qingyi couldn't help but curl his thin lips gently for Qiao Qing's trust, smiled gently and replied: "Well, okay."
He took the key, opened the car door and was about to get in.
Suddenly I discovered that the front tire was flat.
His eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Qiao Qing and said, "It seems that the car can't be driven."
Qiao Qing raised her slender eyebrows slightly, a little curious, "What's wrong?"
Ji Qingyi frowned and said, "Maybe the car got hit before. Now the wheel is flat and can't move."
He closed the car door and walked forward to take a look at the situation.
Qiao Qing also got out of the car. She looked at the front wheel and saw that it was indeed flat.
"How is that possible? It was fine when I drove over here this morning."
Hearing this, a ray of light flashed across Ji Qingyi's eyes and quickly disappeared.
He thought for a moment and said, "We can take a taxi back."
