Looking at Ji Lingtian from a distance, Qin Zixin took a deep breath and walked towards him.
He was dining, as gentlemanly and elegant as ever.
Qin Zixin came to the dining table, sat on the chair opposite him without saying a word, and looked at the lunch he had ordered for her.
It’s still the same thing she liked to eat before…
His memory is really good. We haven’t had any contact with each other for more than ten years, but he always remembers what he likes to eat.
Unfortunately, this time was not like yesterday, there was no surprise or emotion, and my heart was even so dull that only a cold feeling remained.
Qin Zixin waved his hand to summon the waiter.
The young male waiter came to Qin Zixin respectfully.
Qin Zixin spat out lightly, "I don't like these things, please remove them from me. I want a lettuce salad, and then give me a green fruit pudding..."
The waiter nodded and immediately removed the plate in front of Qin Zixin.
Ji Lingtian looked at Qin Zixin leisurely and chuckled, "If you want to prove to me that your taste has changed a long time ago, you should have done this yesterday!"
Qin Zixin glanced at Ji Lingtian lazily, then put the napkin on his lap and answered casually, "I don't want to prove anything to you... It's just that I have a bad stomach and Qianqian doesn't like me eating spicy food. Wait a minute."
Taking pictures, Qianqian saw me eating spicy food and started to complain about me again."
"Look over there." Ji Lingtian suddenly said.
Qin Zixin subconsciously turned her head and looked over.
At this second, Ji Lingtian stretched out his long arms, hugged her with lightning speed, and kissed her on the cheek.
A click...
Qin Zixin, who had not yet reacted, was annoyed and asked, "What's wrong with you?" She accidentally saw a mobile phone in his hand.
Ji Lingtian put the cell phone that had taken the photo into his bag and said calmly, "I told Qianqian that she wanted to see us."
Wiping away the traces of Ji Lingtian's kiss on her cheeks with her hands, Qin Zixin looked angrily and glared at the man opposite who continued to eat leisurely.
At this time, the waiter placed the lettuce salad in front of Qin Zixin.
Qin Zixin had no choice but to retract her displeased gaze and vent her anger by stabbing lettuce randomly on the plate with her fork.
"Have you called Ran Ran?" Ji Lingtian asked suddenly.
Qin Zixin said angrily, "I didn't fight."
Ji Lingtian raised his eyes and frowned slightly.
Qin Zixin spat out proudly, "What, you're angry? If you're not happy, just fight Ranran yourself. Anyway, you really want to hear her voice."
Ji Lingtian chuckled lightly, then took out his cell phone and dialed a series of numbers.
Seeing Ji Ling innocently calling Qu Ranran, Qin Zixin quickly snatched Ji Lingtian's phone and said angrily, "I won't let you ruin Ranran and Guan Hao's current happiness. You'd better not
Disturb Ran Ran!!”
Ji Lingtian leaned against the back of the chair with interest and slightly curved his mouth, "Didn't you ask me to hit you?"
Qin Zixin threw her phone on the table angrily and gritted her teeth angrily.
This man did it on purpose. Even if she didn't stop him, he didn't have the courage to call Ran Ran!
Ji Lingtian spoke confidently, "Looking at your reaction, it seems that you have already told Ran Ran."
Qin Zixin lowered his head to eat angrily.
"Tell me her test results then."
Qin Zixin raised her eyes sharply and glared at him, "Why should I tell you about Ran Ran?"
Ji Lingtian raised his eyebrows and said with a thick smile, "Why don't you want me to call Ran Ran?"
"mean."
Ji Lingtian still smiled.
Qin Zixin picked up a piece of lettuce and put it into her mouth. She tried her best to suppress the manic fire that would arise every time she talked to him, to prevent herself from having the urge to kill the person opposite. She changed the subject at will. "Yes.
Qianqian will be on summer vacation in a few days, and I'm going to take Qianqian to New York to live for a while." She was afraid that she would go crazy if she continued to get along with him.
"As long as Qianqian agrees, it's no problem."
"Qian Qian will definitely ask you to go too, so you have to use the excuse that you are busy to deal with Qian Qian... because I don't want to see you in New York."
Facing Qin Zixin's disgusted look, Ji Lingtian was not angry. He was about to respond when his cell phone rang suddenly.
Glancing at the number displayed on the phone screen, Ji Lingtian immediately picked up the phone, pressed the answer button and put it against his ear.
Qin Zixin kept quiet and waited patiently for him to finish answering the phone before continuing the topic.
However, a few seconds later, Ji Lingtian ended the call, looked at her, and said lightly, "Sorry, you may have to change your mind about not wanting to see me in New York... I will go to New York with you in a week."
"What?"
Qin Zixin's round eyes were surprised.
Ji Lingtian, however, had already taken away the napkin, stood up, and left the restaurant.
----------------------------------------------
A week later, New York.
"grandmother……"
Qian Qian, who got off the car, ran to Guan's mother and hugged her happily.
Guan's mother hugged Qian Qian lovingly and said happily, "My dear granddaughter, you finally have summer vacation..."
"I said I would come to stay with you during the summer vacation."
Guan's mother nodded happily, "Be good."
"Grandma, daddy is here too..."
Guan's mother was slightly startled when she heard this. There was disbelief in her old brown eyes, but more of a surprise, "Really...really?"
At this moment, Ji Lingtian came to Guan's mother with Qin Zixin in his arms.
Guan's mother was overjoyed, even with tears in her eyes, "Ling...Ling Tian." You know, this is the first time Ji Lingtian has stepped into the Guan family.
Ji Lingtian raised his eyes and glanced at the huge Guanzhai.
Compared with Guan Hao's net worth, such an ordinary mansion does not match Guan Hao's always picky personality. However, this place is quiet, elegant and suitable for the elderly to cultivate themselves.
Overall, the mansion that Guan Hao rebuilt for the Guan family is pretty good.
"Ling Tian, Mom is talking to you." In front of Qian Qian, Qin Zixin always acted like a good wife and daughter-in-law.
Ji Lingtian came back to his senses and glanced at Guan Mu, "I will stay here for a while."
Guan's mother nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay...I'll have someone clean the room right now."
"Mom, I have asked the servant to clean up the room for my sister and Mr. Ji." The person who spoke was Qu Ranran, who came out with Guan Hao.
Suddenly, the four people looked at each other.
Except for Qu Ranran whose eyes were full of pure joy, the eyes of the other three people were a little complicated.
Guan Hao was the first to break the silence and stretched out his hand, "Brother, welcome back."
Ji Lingtian withdrew his gaze from Qu Ranran, nodded, and gave Guan Hao a brotherly hug.
Qin Zixin saw that Qianqian had already rushed into the villa to play with Yu An, and had long distanced herself from Ji Lingtian. At this moment, she was very pleased to see the happiness in Qu Ranran's face when she stood next to Guan Hao.
and sweetness.
"Brother-in-law, long time no see."
Qu Ranran greeted Ji Lingtian.
"Brother-in-law"?
Ji Lingtian raised his eyebrows slightly when he was suddenly given this unfamiliar title.
Qin Zixin also pulled Qu Ranran and rebuked softly, "Are you even kidding me?"
Qu Ranran pretended to be innocent and said, "How can I... But in front of Qian Qian, I have to cooperate with you... I have thought about it. Based on the complicated relationship between our families, I plan to simplify it. I call you
Sister, so Mr. Ji is naturally my 'brother-in-law'. Of course, Guan Hao calls Mr. Ji brother, so Guan Hao will call you 'sister-in-law' from now on."
Qin Zixin suddenly felt a numb scalp and immediately pulled Qu Ranran towards Guanzhai's garden.
…
Under the shade of the tree, Qin Zixin asked angrily, "Tell me the truth, why did Ji Lingtian come to New York with you?"
"I don't know..."
Seeing Qu Ranran's stern face with a smile hidden under his brows, Qin Zixin immediately threatened his sister with "severe" eyes, "You still can't tell the truth."
Qu Ranran finally succeeded and smiled, "Okay, okay, I said... Guan Hao told Mr. Ji that there was a new project in New York called 'Haotian' that he was interested in, and asked if 'Lingtian'
Also interested, if 'Ling Tian' is interested, 'Haotian' will give it to 'Ling Tian' after winning the project...and then Mr. Ji will say he wants to come to New York."
Qin Zixin frowned and said, "You know that Ji Lingtian has been competing with Guan Hao, is Guan Hao clearly provoking Ji Lingtian?"
"So, the purpose of Mr. Ji coming to New York is not to wait for Guan Hao to win the project, but to compete with Guan Hao for this project..."
Qin Zixin immediately met and said, "Guan Hao wants to use the rivalry between the two brothers to lure Ji Lingtian to New York."
Qu Ranran nodded and held Qin Zixin's arm, "Look, my husband has already taken action... You and Mr. Ji must cherish this time in New York!"
"No wonder you keep calling and urging me to come to New York. That's what you meant."
Qu Ranran chuckled, "Aren't I worried about you and Mr. Ji?"
Qin Zixin glanced at his sister, "Can you stop linking me with him? I'm already troubled enough by having to act in front of Qianqian every day."
"Sister..." Qu Ranran said earnestly, "Guan Hao told me that the reason why things are like this between you and Mr. Ji is because there is a misunderstanding between you and Mr. Ji, and I am here to help you resolve the misunderstanding.
of."
"Ran Ran, there has never been anything between Ji Lingtian and me, so there is no misunderstanding... You'd better not get involved."
"Okay, I won't get involved, but you've come to New York, so you have to stay with me for a while, right?"
Qin Zixin said resolutely, "If Ji Lingtian is here, I will leave."
Qu Ranran cuddled up on Qin Zixin's shoulder coquettishly, "Sister, even if you want to leave, you still have to wait until you finish the physical examination with me, right?"
"You haven't gone to the hospital yet?"
"Well, I haven't told Guan Hao yet... You know, the results of the test are uncertain, and I don't want him to be disappointed. If it's like what you said, it will give him a big surprise."
Qin Zixin was convinced, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Qu Ranran felt proud in her heart and nodded vigorously, "Thank you, sister."
…
In the study, Guan Hao poured a glass of red wine for himself and Ji Lingtian, and said at the same time, "I'm glad you came to New York."
Ji Lingtian narrowed his eyes, "What's your idea?"
Guan Hao handed one of the glasses of red wine to Ji Lingtian and took the initiative to touch it.
After both of them took a sip of red wine, Guan Hao finally spoke, "You know I lured you here on purpose, why do you still come?"
"On the one hand, the newly opened project 'Lingtian' in New York is bound to win, and I need to come to New York. On the other hand... I am very curious, how can you let Ran Ran and I live under the same roof every day?
Down?"
Guan Hao glanced at Ji Lingtian and said, "Brother, are you sure your feelings for Ran Ran are correct?"
Ji Lingtian's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and a strange light shone through the gap, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say - have you ever thought about it, in fact, you fell in love with Ran Ran at first sight because in Ran Ran, you saw the beauty when you first met Qin Zixin, so you expressed your feelings towards Qin Zixin that you had been suppressing in your heart.
Zi Xin’s love and pity are all reflected on Ran Ran, you are not really in love with Ran Ran at all!!"
Ji Lingtian sneered, "Are you still afraid that I will steal Ran Ran from you?"
Guan Hao said seriously, "I don't want you to be stubborn."
"You don't need to worry about my affairs!!"
"I'm not too leisurely to meddle in your affairs. It's just that you are my eldest brother, and Qin Zixin is Ran Ran's sister."
Ji Lingtian put down his wine glass and left directly.
Guan Hao did not stop him. He held the wine glass and looked at Ji Lingtian's coldly leaving figure. When he was about to step out of the room, he spoke leisurely, "You know very well what kind of person Qin Zixin is. What happened back then is obvious.
It's M who is causing trouble behind her back...You shouldn't treat her like this."
