Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Sothing Happened Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Sothing Happened Fan Ye and a few others had the sa feeling.
Their previous teammates had been pretty good, but Luo Ning was clearly even better.
Everyone stopped their discussion, went to take a shower, changed clothes, and then got together for a al.
Ji Jiayi had Yi Jun and the others leave with their female companions first, and he followed to scrounge a al.
After ordering the dishes at the restaurant, Bo Xuan, as the team captain, stood up and extended his hand towards Luo Ning.
“Luo Ning, welco to our team.”
“From now on, we’ll be comrades in the sa trench.”
Luo Ning stood up and shook his hand, smiling as she said, “Thank you, I won’t let you down.”
Since she had decided to join, she would certainly give it her all.
Bo Xuan asked, “When will you be free in the coming days? We should hang out privately, focus on building rapport, and get to know each other better.”
Luo Ning replied, “I can make ti in three days.”
“I can’t be sure about the ti after that because I have to go out of town to film.”
“But I’ll finish filming my parts as soon as possible and then find ti to co back and practice with you.”
She wasn’t familiar with the others, so getting comfortable with them in advance was indeed necessary.
Bo Xuan and the others also knew about Luo Ning’s profession, and since she had already joined a film crew, it wasn’t possible for them to ask her not to film.
“Alright then, we’ll stay in the country this month and head over together close to the competition ti.”
Having found a female teammate, they were quite content and didn’t want to be too demanding of Luo Ning, risking scaring her off.
They ate while making casual conversation.
Ji Jiayi asked curiously, “Is your competition similar to the ga we played today?”
Yue Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, “How could it be that simple.”
He explained, “There will be a virtual world set for us, and then we’ll have to carry out missions, and the team that successfully completes them wins.”
Fan Ye added, “I heard that this final is going to be in hell mode; it aims to show off the world’s most advanced virtual 6D technology and also presents a huge challenge to us as participants.”
He also ntioned, “But watching it live will definitely be exciting. You guys should watch it when the ti cos.”
It would be a global simultaneous live broadcast, surely stunning the entire world.
After all, they had only touched on a part of that virtual technology and were absolutely amazed, completely shocked.
Hearing their description, Ji Jiayi was also full of anticipation, “That’s a must.”
Although he wasn’t a fanatic about weapons or high-tech, he was interested in these things.
Moreover, since Luo Ning would be participating, he had to watch considering he was pursuing her.
After dinner, Luo Ning added the others as friends and then left.
Ji Jiayi insisted on escorting Luo Ning, and she didn’t refuse.
On the way, Ji Jiayi asked, “Do you need to step in regarding the matter on the internet?”
Luo Ning, being smart, knew exactly what he was referring to.
She shook her head, “No need, I can handle it.”
“After all, we’re just ordinary friends, so let’s not bother President Ji with such small matters.”
Ji Jiayi chuckled lightly, “And here I thought we were already good friends.”
“Anyway, if there’s anything you need help with, just let know.”
“Talking about bothering or not bothering, you’re being too polite.”
He was beginning to understand so of Luo Ning’s character, so he didn’t bluntly express his desire to pursue her.
Otherwise, she would likely rebuff him on the spot and cease associating with him.
Luo Ning realized that this person particularly enjoyed climbing up the ladder, with skin thicker than most.
Again, she questioned how the legendary capriciousness and ruthlessness had co about.
Of course, she also knew that Ji Jiayi wouldn’t be as simple as he seed.
As long as he didn’t sche against her, she couldn’t be bothered with him.
But she also didn’t plan to keep playing gas with him. After all, she and Yue Xiao would beco teammates later, and the two n were childhood best friends.
She asked aningfully, “Young Master Ji, I wonder if you’re acquainted with Ji Jiarong?”
The mont Ji Jiayi heard this, he knew she was aware.
He replied, “She’s my sister.”
Luo Ning straightforwardly said, “Then do you know that your sister and I don’t get along? We can’t stand the sight of each other.”
Ji Jiayi didn’t expect her to be so blunt, “I’ve heard her ntion it.”
“She said you’re close to Lu Xun, and so she’s not happy with you.”
“But my sister is my sister, and I am ; you shouldn’t lump us together.”
He was also straightforward and truthful, “To be honest, my initial investnt in the fantasy martial arts drama to get close to you was originally intended to help my sister deal with you.”
“Of course, I didn’t intend to do anything to you, just to make Lu Xun withdraw from pursuing you, or for you to back off from him.”
“However, that day you saved , and with the more recent interactions, I’ve co to think you’re a very good person, so I genuinely want to be friends with you.”
“Besides, you’ve helped Yi Jun’s uncle and tead up with Yue Xiao for the competition; they are both my iron buddies. Considering these aspects, it’s impossible for to help my sister against you now.”
“My sister has been sent to Africa by Lu Xun and won’t be able to return anyti soon.”
“The Ji Family won’t be able to do anything either, so you can rest assured about that.”
They always dealt with their own affairs and rarely used the Ji Family’s influence.
Moreover, his elder brother had a talk with him last night, and he also realized that his sister was becoming more and more extre.
His elder brother even warned them not to bully others with their power.
In this world, feelings are the least thing you can force; if Lu Xun doesn’t like my sister, they can’t force him to.
Just like how the family wouldn’t force him to have a marriage of convenience with a woman he didn’t like.
He thought it made sense, so it was best for his sister to stay in Africa for a while longer to change her domineering and tricky temperant.
Right now, hiding in Africa and trying to sneak back, Ji Jiarong, who couldn’t get away from her bodyguards, simply wished her second brother would co pick her up quickly.
She still didn’t know that Ji Jiayi had already betrayed her; otherwise, she would be fuming with rage.
Luo Ning had heard from Lu Xun that the Ji family’s values were quite proper.
She could also tell that Ji Jiayi was being sincere.
Since he was no longer going to help Ji Jiarong against her, she wouldn’t stir up trouble without reason. Being friends wasn’t a problem.
Though the plot had greatly changed, Ji Jiayi probably wouldn’t get caught up in Bo Xiangxiang’s net again.
Still, Luo Ning had to keep an eye out, to make sure he didn’t give any bit of fortune to the playboy female lead.
She said, “Alright, then let’s just get along as friends.”
Ji Jiayi replied with a smile, “Good friends.”
From friends to good friends, and then to lovers, that progression would be perfect!
Luo Ning had no idea what he was thinking and gained a new level of recognition for his thick skin. She just smiled without verbally acknowledging the point.
As they were about to reach the apartnt, Luo Ning’s phone suddenly rang.
She saw the caller was Ji Xinghang and, after a mont’s thought, decided to pick up.
Ever since their relationship had improved, he had stopped harassing her, so she had removed him from the blacklist.
She asked, “Is sothing the matter?”
Ji Xinghang’s voice carried a note of urgency, “Ningning, there’s been a bit of trouble with Aunt Xin and Xixi here.”
