Chapter 26: The First Sign of Love?Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the upscale residential district of Hanlin.
In a large, finely decorated luxury apartnt, Ji Baijian stood in front of a large French window in the dressing room. He took off the casual shirt he was wearing and was about to try on the white shirt when he suddenly stopped. "Never mind. Bring
a black suit later."
Ji Baixin, who was holding a perfectly-tailored gray suit and a formal white shirt, frowned slightly, "I’m not your personal stylist, brother. How many tis do you want
to run errands for you in a day? I’m pretty famous in the fashion industry, I’ll have you know. I’m not soone you can just order around."
Ji Baijian did not reply. He slowly and thodically put the casual shirt he had taken off back on.
Ji Baixin rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and muttered,"You take a single call and you change your mind. Can you please not be so indecisive?"
Ji Baijian remained silent.
Ji Baixin hugged the gray suit tightly and turned around to leave, but then, she suddenly turned back and asked, "Why do you have so many bite marks on your body? Who did it?"
Ji Baijian’s hand that was buttoning his shirt paused montarily. "A dog," he answered indifferently.
"Song Zhizhi?"Ji Baixin’s lips curled into a grin.
She had not forgotten seeing Song Zhizhi with her clothes in disarray in her brother’s private residence that morning when she went to deliver the clothes to him.
It must be known that, besides herself when she delivered clothes here, few could co to this place. It was not a place her brother was willing to open up to other people.
"You said it, not ," Ji Baijian answered calmly, but for an instant, Ji Baixin clearly saw the corners of his mouth rise a little.
Ji Baixin could not help teasing, "Is my brother starting to understand love?"
"How co you’re so free today?"Ji Baijian looked at Ji Baixin through the reflection in the window and asked.
Ji Baixin rolled her eyes. This elder brother of hers had always been very mature ever since they were young. Even though he was only 2 years older than her, it felt like he was 2 generations older. Ji Baixin walked away with the clothes.
The mont she opened the front door and walked out, Ji Baixin almost collided with the person trying to co in at the sa ti.
Fortunately, she managed to maintain her balance. She took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of her.
The man had a teasing look on his face, "Are you trying to run into my embrace, Miss Ji?"
Ji Baixin stared at Yin Qin with indifference, "Please give way."
"Hey, is this how you treat your fiancé?" Yin Qin raised his eyebrows.
Ji Baixin pursed her lips and stared right at him.
Yin Qin shrugged. "Fine. A gentleman shall not argue with a lady. After you."
Yin Qin backed off.
Ji Baixin left with the clothes in her arms.
Yin Qin gave Ji Baixin’s back a glance before turning around to walk into Ji Baijian’s house.
Ji Baijian was already dressed and had co out of the dressing room. He asked Yin Qin expressionlessly, "Did you run into my sister?"
"Yup. She’s as cold as always," Yin Qin nonchalantly sat on Ji Baijian’s sofa.
Ji Baijian did not inquire further. He changed the topic instead,"How’s the situation with your family right now?"
"Wei Cheng is keeping a close eye on , eager to catch any mistake I make and make
lose my right of succession," said Yin Qin, " Well, of course he’d be resentful. He’s been working hard for the company for so many years, but I hijacked his position the mont I ca back."
Wei Cheng was Yin Qin’s cousin. Because his surna was not Yin, he was not the successor, but he had been eyeing the position for a long ti.
"Be on guard. Don’t get careless," Ji Baijian reminded Yin Qin.
"I know," Yin Qin nodded. He then asked, "You still don’t plan to start work at your family’s company yet?"
"There’s no rush,"Ji Baijian lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely.
Yin Qin did not inquire further. He instead asked, "What’s the deal with you and Song Zhizhi? Are you guys for real?"
Ji Baijian exhaled the smoke, "Why not?"
"Song Zhizhi has changed so much."
"Yes, she has."
"You don’t suspect anything?"
"I’m taking my ti," Ji Baijian said nonchalantly, "If there’s anything there, sooner or later a crack will appear."
"This isn’t like you, Baijian," Yin Qin laughed, "Soone as cunning and cautious as you would never have kept a ticking ti bomb like her close to you before. You would never have let stay by your side without checking her ancestry and finding out everything there is to know about her."
Ji Baijian pursed his lips,"What are you trying to say?"
"Nothing. Just making small talks. You can do whatever you like."
Like? He wouldn’t go that far.
It’s just that...
The corners of Ji Baijian’s mouth curled up ever so slightly that it was barely perceptible.
...
The Song residence.
After lunch, Nie Wenzhi helped Qin Ciling back to her room to rest. Song Shan generally would not co ho for lunch. He did call to inform them that everything had been arranged. The press conference would be held tomorrow morning. He asked them to prepare accordingly.
Song Zhizhi watched TV in the living room. Nie Xiaofei sat in the living room for a while, but probably because she did not know what to say to Song Zhizhi, she soon went upstairs.
The servants were cleaning the house. After contemplating for a while, Song Zhizhi called out, "Aunt Zhu."
"Yes, Miss?" Aunt Zhu respectfully ca forth.
"Who usually cleans my bedroom?" asked Song Zhizhi.
Aunt Zhu imdiately replied, "I always have Xiaochun do it. Did she not clean properly? I’ll call for Xiaochun right away to tell her off!"
"Well, there are so things that she can do better. Tell her to co look for
in the room later. I’ll talk to her," Song Zhizhi said solemnly.
"Yes, Miss."
Song Zhizhi got up and went back to her room.
After Song Zhizhi had disappeared from sight, Aunt Zhu quickly dashed to Nie Wenzhi’s room and knocked on the door.
When Nie Wenzhi saw that it was Aunt Zhu, she looked around before saying, "Co in."
Aunt Zhu followed her inside.
Nie Wenzhi asked, "What did Song Zhizhi ask you to do?"
"The eldest young miss said her room wasn’t cleaned well and asked
to tell Xiaochun to look for her in her room," Aunt Zhu reported.
"Anything else?" Nie Wenzhi asked.
"No, that’s all."
Nie Wenzhi nodded, "Tell Xiaochun to go find her. Report back to
after you’ve asked Xiaochun what Song Zhizhi wants from her."
"Yes, ma’am," Aunt Zhu quickly answered.
"Go," Nie Wenzhi dismissed her with a wave.
Aunt Zhu left respectfully.
Nie Wenzhi’s gaze turned sharp. It was not that difficult for her to monitor Song Zhizhi’s every move in this ho. She refused to believe that, having patient prepared for so many years, she would still be no match for a re Song Zhizhi!
