Chapter 40 Don’t Catch a Cold
In a cafe where soothing music was playing, Liu Yunyi sat on a chair, poking at her phone in frustration.
She told her father her thoughts last night. She really couldn't hold it in any longer. Liu Yunyi firmly believed that the Xu family did not really want to make money with the Liu family.
But her father seemed to have been drugged by the Xu family and insisted that only the Xu family could help the Liu family survive in the capital. In a fit of anger, she had a fierce quarrel with her father.
In the end, she was kicked out of the house by her father. The more Liu Yunyi thought about it, the angrier she became. Why did the Xu family deserve to be so praised?
She must find a more powerful backer for the Liu family and let her father know that the Xu family is not reliable at all!
Liu Yunyi, who was thinking about something, did not notice the person coming towards her in the aisle when she stood up.
“Hmm…”
Liu Yunyi suddenly stood up and bumped into the person who was coming, and backed away while covering her nose.
"Miss, are you okay?"
A gentle, polite and magnetic voice came from above her head. Liu Yunyi looked up with her ears feeling a little hot, and the complaint that was about to come out turned into a dull reply.
"No, nothing."
"I'm glad you're okay." Chen Xi smiled, not paying attention to the girl's appearance. He quickly withdrew his hand from Liu Yunyi and took a step back to create some distance.
Liu Yunyi blushed and didn't dare to look at him. This man was very handsome, just like the gentle and elegant nobleman described in novels!
"Um, sorry to bump into you, let me buy you a cup of coffee!" Liu Yunyi said hesitantly, feeling the violent beating in her chest.
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised by the sudden invitation. He was about to refuse when he saw Liu Yunyi looking up.
What a coincidence.
Two words popped up in Shen Xi's mind. He put on a gentle smile and agreed softly, "Okay."
＊
Today is Sunday and Qi Xiuxu did not go to work.
After lunch, Ji Jinhe brought out the watermelon that Liu Ma had cut for lunch.
Aunt Liu cut the watermelon into pieces and placed a few small forks on them. This is Ji Jinhe's favorite way to eat fruit. As long as the fruit is cut like this, Ji Jinhe will definitely take the initiative to eat it.
Qi Xiuxu was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone. Ji Jinhe put the extra fork back on the counter, picked up the watermelon and put it in his mouth while walking towards Qi Xiuxu.
When he approached, the watermelon in his mouth had just been eaten. Ji Jinhe picked up a piece of watermelon and put it to Qi Xiuxu's mouth.
Qi Xiuxu looked up at her, without opening his mouth, he reached out and took the fork from her hand, then slowly put the watermelon into his mouth, his lips and teeth gently touching the fork.
Ji Jinhe sat down, blinked, and leaned a little closer to Qi Xiuxu.
A familiar smell came, and Qi Xiuxu turned his head to look at Ji Jinhe who was sitting next to him. He pinched the fork with his slender fingers and inserted it into a piece of watermelon, and leaned his body to keep a distance.
Ji Jinhe didn't care. She leaned over and put the bowl on the coffee table beside her. Her eyes passed over his moist lips. She leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "I will deal with the Xu family myself."
Ever since she left the Xu family, there has been a force secretly targeting the Xu family.
Qi Xiuxu's eyes deepened, and he was not surprised by her insight. He just said, "Xiao He, my tolerance is limited."
If the Xu family did anything to make her unhappy again, he wouldn't mind making them disappear.
Qi Xiuxu leaned back on the sofa, tapping rhythmically with his bony fingers. He exuded a lazy temperament and a sense of ease that he didn't show in front of outsiders.
Ji Jinhe raised her eyes, scanning his handsome eyebrows and eyes, and finally fell on the protruding Adam's apple.
If I squint my peach blossom eyes and dye that part red, it would look good, right?
"Ji Jinhe." A deep voice came from above.
Qi Xiuxu noticed her intense gaze and turned around to say something, but the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of white, slender legs.
It is the end of summer and the weather is still a little hot. Ji Jinhe couldn't stand the heat and wore a pair of hot pants.
The white legs are crossed and bent on the dark sofa, creating a strong visual impact.
Qi Xiuxu grabbed a blanket from nearby and covered her legs with it, "Don't catch a cold."
Ji Jinhe lay on the sofa, feeling a little confused. What was going on?
Before he could ask, Qi Xiuxu stood up and walked upstairs.
"Hmm?" Ji Jinhe said in confusion while lying on the sofa, touching her eyes. Could it be that her eyes were too explicit?
Qi Xiuxu didn't come down after going upstairs. Ji Jinhe lazily lay on the sofa and watched variety shows all afternoon.
At sunset, Ji Jinhe looked at the time, got up and went upstairs to change clothes.
When I went downstairs again, Qi Xiuxu had already changed his clothes and was waiting downstairs. He was wearing a shirt, and his legs were wrapped in straight suit pants. The buttons were buttoned to the top, making him look very abstinent.
Qi Xiuxu turned around and looked at her. His protruding Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his magnetic and pleasant voice came out: "Let's go."
Ji Jinhe raised her eyebrows and followed his footsteps, walking out the door side by side.
Shen Xi organized a party tonight and required the six of them to be present.
The other five people didn't understand why he was keeping it a secret, but they all went to the appointment out of courtesy.
Inside the bustling box.
Liu Yunyi excitedly followed Shen Xi, looking around. This was a party that Xu Jinxi had never been able to attend before!
When the young masters and young ladies sitting in the box saw Shen Xi coming, they all stood up and greeted him warmly.
"Brother Xi, what a rare guest!"
"Brother Xi! Come to my place, it's clean!"
Everyone in the circle knew that Shen Xi didn't smoke and couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes, so a few smokers quickly put out their cigarettes, as if they didn't expect Shen Xi to really come.
"Brother Xi, wait a moment, let's ventilate the room." The few people who put out their cigarettes said as they hurriedly got up and pushed open the windows to ventilate the room.
Shen Xi frowned slightly, but when he looked up, he still had a gentle smile on his face: “Don’t worry about me.”
Everyone made room for him in the middle seat, jokingly saying, "Brother Xi has finally made it to our table today!"
Shen Xi was invited to every party in the past, but no one dared to think that Shen Xi would come.
Chen Xi raised his chin and gestured to Liu Yunyi, who was standing awkwardly not far away. "I met a new friend. Bring her over to say hello to everyone."
In fact, Liu Yunyi had been following him closely since she knew his identity, and he originally just wanted to see who was the unlucky guy who dared to point at Ji Jinhe and scold him in front of Madam Su.
After being pointed at and scolded that day, Su You went home furious and cursed Liu Yunyi in the group late at night.
Out of curiosity, Shen Xi looked up Liu Yunyi's information. His photographic memory allowed Shen Xi to recognize Liu Yunyi at a glance that day.
After spending a few days together, Chen Xi discovered that Liu Yunyi really was a combination of naiveté and stupidity along with audacity and recklessness.
While Chen Xi was sighing, he suddenly had a sense of evil interest and wanted to see, if Liu Yunyi knew who she had offended, the scene would definitely be exciting!
Chen Xi couldn't help laughing as he thought about it, tapping the table with his fingertips. The young ladies from the noble families watching around him greeted Liu Yunyi very well.
Liu Yunyi was flattered. She originally had no hope that Shen Xi would bring her to participate in the gatherings of these noble ladies and gentlemen. She just talked about it verbally, but she didn't expect Shen Xi to really bring her!
In the past, Miss Shen, who had never even said hello to Xu Jinxi when she followed her, actually took the initiative to hold her hand, and the second Miss Meng on the other side also greeted her warmly.
Liu Yunyi felt that everything was unreal, like a dream, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
She knew that one day she would be able to stand higher than Xu Jinxi!
