In fact, the more important point is that she doesn't want her relatives to know that she is Ximen Longting's mistress!
With Ximen Longting's domineering personality, even if he is not angry, he will still give her orders arrogantly, giving her looks and embarrassment, just like he did to his father, and disrespecting her relatives. Even if he doesn't need to tell her relatives, his fierce anger
The scene has already silently declared: she is just his plaything.
How could she, with such a strong self-esteem, be willing to embarrass herself in front of all her relatives!
"I'm hungry and want to go down and have something to eat." Jing Jiaren said with a bad expression.
Ximen Longting stared at her for a while: "Shall I accompany you?"
"No, you're hanging out the potion, have a good rest."
She actually wanted to go down and see the situation...
Ximen Longting saw that she had taken care of him for so long without drinking any water, and nodded: "I'll give you half an hour."
############################
The manor is very large, with 108 bedrooms in total. The butlers and servants were busy arranging rooms for incoming guests.
In the living room, Jing Huatian and the three sisters of the Jing family are entertaining some close relatives...
Jing Jiaren wanted to ask Jing's father about the situation, but the servant said he was on the second floor terrace.
As soon as she opened the door, Jing Jiaren almost bumped into the tall figure walking out——
She was startled for a moment, then stepped back, and a warm voice sounded above her head: "Beauty."
Jing Jiaren raised her head, and Jing You stood in front of her, staring at her tenderly with the light of stars in his eyes.
"cousin?"
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Yes, it's been a really long time, at least six or seven years since I last saw each other.
Jing You is Jing Jiaren's distant cousin, one year older than her. He used to live in the villa next door to the small western-style building in City B. He moved to the north a few years ago because of his father's business relationship, and has had little contact with her since then.
Recalling that when she was a child, he was the second person besides her father who cared deeply for her.
After many years, he has grown taller and thinner, and his facial features have become more and more handsome. He is not an extinct type of handsome guy like Ximen Longting, but he is also gentle and handsome, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Jing's father stood behind Jing You and patted him on the shoulder: "Since the beauty is here, it's just right. Let's talk."
Jing's father smiled, obviously he had just talked with Jing You here.
I remembered that when he was a child, because he had a good relationship with Jiaren, Jing’s father treated him like half a son.
"Beauty, I haven't seen you for so long, so I have to treat your cousin well."
"Um."
The two of them stood on the terrace, looking at the huge manor and the busy servants going back and forth, but they were relatively speechless.
She should have thought that Ximen Longting would also invite their family over this time...
Damn, I haven’t seen you for so long, and I suddenly feel so strange and unfamiliar.
Jing Jiaren was silent for a while, then smiled lightly: "Let's go for a walk in the manor."
It was night, and beautiful street lights were on in the manor.
Each one is a palace lamp, hanging like a small house under a lamppost, emitting warm light.
Jing Jiaren walked with him, chatting about her childhood memories from time to time, and gradually regained the feeling of getting along with him before.
"There is a small church there. Do you still remember the first time you took me to the church when I was a child?" Jing Jiaren turned around with a smile and found Jing You looking at her.
Her long hair was messed up and swaying by the night wind.
He naturally reached out his hand and stroked her hair, just like he did when he was a child.
