Chapter 42
On the way back in the car, Ji Jinsi didn't say anything, but looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
The car stopped, and Luo Qingli looked out the window and knew that Ji Jinsi had taken him back to Linshui Huazhu.
"Actually, you should take me back to Jiang Ran." Luo Qingli opened the car door and said to Ji Jinsi who was standing outside.
Ji Jinsi looked at Luo Qingli and asked, "Do you hate coming to me?"
Not really, but she has no relationship with Ji Jinsi now, and it’s not nice to go to his house for no reason.
Seeing that Luo Qingli didn't answer, Ji Jinsi asked again: "Do you hate Xiaoli?"
"Of course not. Xiaoli is very cute."
Ji Jinsi gestured for Luo Qingli to move forward and said, "That's perfect. Xiaoli is also looking forward to you accompanying it."
There was no change in Ji Jinsi's home. As soon as Luo Qingli entered the door, he saw Xiaoli sitting obediently on the sofa.
After changing her shoes, she walked straight to Xiaoli, reached out and held Xiaoli in her arms.
Xiaoli seemed to like Luo Qingli very much and rubbed her furry little head against Luo Qingli's arms.
"Do you want to take a day off tomorrow? I'll ask Li Kun for leave for you." Ji Jinsi unbuttoned his shirt, walked over and handed Luo Qingli a glass of water and asked.
His solid abdominal muscles were faintly visible. Luo Qingli only took a glance at them before turning his head and saying, "I'll go to work as usual tomorrow. Also, Mr. Ji, please pay attention to your image."
"My clothes are wet, and besides, this is my home."
As if to make his position clear, Ji Jinsi took off his entire shirt, sitting on the sofa with his upper body naked, indifferent.
Luo Qingli touched Xiaoli in his arms and said, "Xiaoli, why is your father so shameless? Isn't that right?"
As if understanding what Luo Qingli said, Xiaoli meowed twice, making Luo Qingli laugh out loud.
Ji Jinsi's expression softened because of Luo Qingli's words. He began to wonder uncontrollably, if he and Luo Qingli had a child, would it be such a heartwarming scene?
He had never thought about having a child before, but now, he suddenly felt that having a daughter like Luo Qingli seemed not bad.
Once it started, Ji Jinsi's imagination went further and further. He thought about the wedding, the children, the children's wedding, and the companionship of old age.
"Ji Jinsi, your clothes are wet too. You should take a hot bath." Luo Qingli's words interrupted Ji Jinsi's imagination.
Ji Jinsi nodded, stood up, and then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Luo Qingli, "I've had someone clean up the guest room. You can rest directly in the guest room."
Ji Jinsi knew that he couldn't be impatient with Luo Qingli. He should start with the guest room and let her gradually accept life with him, and then he could gradually let Luo Qingli accept him again.
Ji Jinsi showed great patience towards Luo Qingli, giving Luo Qingli all the patience that he would never use in the business world.
Luo Qingli didn't know that Ji Jinsi was thinking so much. She just wondered why Ji Jinsi suddenly changed his temper and actually cleaned up the guest room for her.
"Okay, I'm tired too, so I'll go rest first. Xiaoli, you stay asleep with me tonight." Luo Qingli yawned and walked towards the guest room.
Ji Jinsi watched Luo Qingli enter the guest room and suddenly felt a little regretful. Shouldn't he have made this decision?
Damn, he actually felt a little envious of Xiaoli.
Luo Qingli was lying on the bed, Xiaoli was lying beside her. She closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy.
Too many things happened tonight and she couldn't calm down.
Suddenly, the cell phone beside her pillow rang. Luo Qingli picked it up and saw that it was a message from Jiang Ran.
"Qingli, are you asleep?"
Luo Qingli had already told Jiang Ran that she would not go back, and she didn't know why Jiang Ran wanted to see her so late at night.
"No, what's wrong?"
"You still have time to chat with me? Did your boyfriend let you go?"
Luo Qingli sent a hammering cat head emoji and replied: "What kind of crap are you thinking about? Why haven't you slept yet?"
After a long while, Jiang Ran finally replied, "I don't know what to say. Director Lin kissed me tonight."
Luo Qingli suddenly opened his eyes wide. Lin Pingyu did something big without saying anything?
"what happens?"
"He was drunk tonight, and when I sent him home, he kissed my forehead."
"Maybe this means I like you?"
"I don't know. Although I have this feeling, he hasn't told me. Besides, he's the director of my next movie. I shouldn't have any relationship with him other than work."
"Why? Can't the director become a lover?"
"No, it's just that if this gets out, they'll think I got the female lead because of the director's connections, and not because of my own ability at all."
Luo Qingli understood Jiang Ran's concerns. Those who work in the entertainment industry have to be cautious in this regard.
Although Jiang Ran has always been rumored to be a well-connected person, those people actually have no evidence at all. But if she was really together with Lin Pingyu, those paparazzi would definitely make a big fuss about it.
Between them, one is a good friend, and the other is someone who has helped her for many years. Luo Qingli doesn't want to hurt either of them.
She tried to ask: "Putting all this aside, do you like him?"
"To be honest, he's different from the men I've known before. I have a good impression of him."
Jiang Ran admitted it straightforwardly. She was just that kind of person.
"So wait until you're done filming before you get together? And you can still claim to the world that you met on the set?"
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. By the way, it's so late and you're still not asleep. Will Ji Jinsi come and snatch your phone?"
"What are you talking about? I'm sleeping in the guest room by myself, who can steal my phone?"
"Guest room?! Ji Jinsi just let a beautiful woman like you sleep in the guest room?"
"What's wrong? I'm a guest. Where else can I sleep if not in the guest room?"
"But didn't you sleep with him before?"
"That's because the guest room hasn't been cleaned up yet, so there are no conditions."
"That's unscientific. If a man really likes a woman, he should do everything he can to get close to her."
"What kind of perverse logic is this?"
"What a twisted logic, Qingli. Have you ever heard of this saying? If you truly like someone, you desire physical contact with them. When two people in love are together, they should yearn for each other's affections all the time."
"I didn't expect that someone who has been single until now would be so experienced?" Luo Qingli teased her.
"Although I haven't had a relationship, I've been in a lot of dramas! I won't say anymore. I have an announcement tomorrow, so I need to go to bed first. Good night."
"good evening."
Luo Qingli put down his phone, lay on the bed, looked at the night sky outside the window, and involuntarily began to think about the past.
At that time, when she was in love with Ji Jinsi, she should have liked Ji Jinsi's touch.
His touch would bring a shiver deep into her soul, making her feel that she was also loved.
But now...
Could it be that what Jiang Ran said was right?
The next morning, Luo Qingli finished washing up and opened the door. Ji Jinsi was setting the dishes at the dining table.
He seemed to be obsessed with arranging the food in the thermal containers neatly on the plate.
Seeing Luo Qingli coming out, Ji Jinsi said, "There are clothes in the cloakroom. Go pick one and change into it."
Luo Qingli walked into the cloakroom and found that one wall of cabinets was filled with women's clothing.
She could change these clothes every day for several months without repeating the same one.
Luo Qingli remembered that the last time she came to Ji Jinsi's place, these clothes were not available in the cloakroom.
Could it be that Ji Jinsi prepared it specially for her? Luo Qingli thought so and smiled self-deprecatingly. Luo Qingli, don't overestimate your position in Ji Jinsi's heart.
She casually picked up a skirt and found that it was the brand of clothes that Ji Jinsi liked to buy for her before.
She remembered that a single piece of clothing cost a lot of money.
Luo Qingli picked and chose, and chose a dress of a more ordinary style to put on.
There are even shoes of various colors and styles next to the wardrobe, including high heels and flat shoes.
In the small drawer on the side was a wide variety of jewelry, which sparkled brightly under the light.
Any piece of jewelry might be worth what Mozhu earns in a week.
Luo Qingli took off the necklace and bracelet she was wearing last night, put them back in the small drawer, and closed the drawer. She was still not used to wearing jewelry, let alone such expensive jewelry.
Besides, she has no relationship with Ji Jinsi, so there is no reason for her to wear it.
Luo Qingli changed her clothes and came out. Ji Jinsi had already prepared breakfast.
It’s still Chinese food such as buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk.
"The last time I came here, there didn't seem to be so many clothes in the cloakroom?" Luo Qingli asked as he sat down.
"Yeah, I prepared it as soon as I thought of it." Ji Jinsi glanced at Luo Qingli's hands and neck and answered lightly.
"Oh." Luo Qingli responded dryly, not wanting to guess what Ji Jinsi meant.
"I suspect there's someone behind your drowning last night, and they might even try to harm you. You're my guest, so I have to ensure your safety. So, you'll be staying with me for the time being."
Luo Qingli looked at Ji Jinsi with some surprise, and after a long while he said, "We live in a society ruled by law now, so there shouldn't be so many accidents, right?"
After hesitating for a while, Luo Qingli spoke again: "As for the mastermind behind this, I actually have a guess. I guess it was Zhao Yanran who did it. After all, she was the one who locked me in the warehouse that night."
After saying that, Luo Qingli looked at Ji Jinsi nervously, but found that his expression was normal, without any surprise or anger.
"I'll take care of this." Ji Jinsi paused and said, "I heard that Jiang Ran will be going to Mo City to film a movie soon. Instead of you living alone, why not live with me? I can also protect your safety. Besides, are you willing to leave Xiaoli?"
As if she understood what Ji Jinsi said, Xiaoli, who was sitting next to her, meowed.
"Look, Xiaoli can't bear to leave you either." Ji Jinsi looked at Luo Qingli meaningfully and said.
Luo Qingli didn't listen carefully to what Ji Jinsi said. She was still thinking about the attitude Ji Jinsi had just shown.
Luo Qingli was not disappointed that Ji Jinsi casually mentioned Zhao Yanran's matter. She had already expected this.
Although Ji Jinsi said that he didn't like Zhao Yanran, after all, the two families had a relationship for so many years, so he would definitely protect Zhao Yanran.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingli sighed, and even the originally delicious breakfast became a little difficult to swallow.
