Taking a breath, he looked at Veya with a look of helplessness, realizing that subtlety was not going to work.
He said bluntly, "Mom, I really have no interest in Jennifer."
ntioning Jennifer again, he was afraid soone would lose it.
"I know you have no interest, but she’s your mom’s friend’s daughter. If you have no interest, tell her yourself." Veya said, "I’m not insisting you be with her, so why are you in such a rush?"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly looked at Ji Mingqian, "Mingqian, you t Jennifer last ti too. What do you think of her?"
"Uh..." Ji Mingqian smiled politely and said flawlessly, "Auntie, liking soone is about a connection at first sight. Asheng doesn’t like her, so it’s just that fate hasn’t arrived. He’s still young, there’s no rush."
Jiang Yisheng poked the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks, grumbling internally about who exactly was in a rush.
The nonsense cos in layers and layers.
Veya glanced at Jiang Yisheng, "With his stoic personality, of course, I am in a rush."
"Stoic?" Ji Mingqian tasted the word, looked sideways at Jiang Yisheng, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"It’s quite an apt description indeed."
Jiang Yisheng held his forehead, half-covered his face with his hand, and bared his teeth at him.
Ignoring his warning look, Ji Mingqian continued to test the waters on the edge of danger, "Being too stoic doesn’t make you likable, right, Asheng?"
Jiang Yisheng’s eyes darkened slightly, and his long leg under the table moved slightly.
"Ouch—"
A sound of pain ca from across the table, followed by Veya’s voice.
"Ahai, what’s wrong?"
Jiang Yisheng’s heart skipped a beat with a bad premonition.
The next mont, Jiang Hai’s puzzled voice rang out, "Asheng, why did you kick ?"
Ji Mingqian kept a straight face, quickly managing his expression, but inside he was already laughing like crazy.
Jiang Yisheng put down his hand, covering his face with an awkward smile, "Dad, I didn’t an to, my leg just went numb and cramped."
Jiang Hai gave him a strange look and didn’t press the issue further.
"The food’s getting cold, let’s eat, let’s eat."
Jiang Yisheng breathed a sigh of relief and glared secretly at Ji Mingqian.
This isn’t over yet, we’ll settle this when we get back.
Ji Mingqian looked up at the ceiling, pretending to know nothing.
After a lunch full of thrills but no danger, Jiang Yisheng didn’t have any afternoon plans, so naturally, he had to follow through with yesterday’s agreent to visit the sights.
They searched for a few famous spots and the four of them set out together to check them off the list.
Since Jiang Yisheng wasn’t familiar with the roads in J City, Ji Mingqian only jokingly suggested he drive. When it was ti to leave, they found soone to temporarily act as a driver.
That person was soone Jiang Yisheng knew, having seen him before with Ye Jiuliang, nad Xue Wu.
With Xue Wu joining, Ji Mingqian didn’t want to be separated from Jiang Yisheng, so Ye had to switch cars.
"How many cars did you buy here?" Sitting in the car, Jiang Yisheng couldn’t help but ask.
Switching new cars one after another, it’s no wonder he’s so extravagant.
The two sat in the back; Ji Mingqian didn’t act as cautiously as in the restaurant, sitting close to Jiang Yisheng.
"Take a guess."
Jiang Yisheng cast him a sidelong glance, too lazy to respond.
"If you’re tired, lean on and take a nap. Don’t get sleepy once we reach the sights." Ji Mingqian reached out to remove the obstructive backpack and said softly.
He hadn’t rested well after staying at the hospital last night and had rushed for a shoot early in the morning; it’d be a lie to say he wasn’t tired.
Jiang Yisheng shook his head, "Help get the tablet out of my backpack."
"Want to play gas?" Ji Mingqian asked while retrieving the backpack.
"No, I lose to you every ti; it’s pointless."
If he ever won, it’d be because Ji Mingqian let him, with hardly any thrill.
Ji Mingqian chuckled lightly and handed him the tablet, "How about I let you win this ti?"
Jiang Yisheng took the tablet and said coolly, "No need."
He had no interest in victories handed to him on a platter.
Seeing him open Weibo, Ji Mingqian leaned over to look.
Suddenly recalling sothing, he furrowed his brows, "You unfollowed on Weibo last ti."
Almost forgot to settle that with him; no wonder he felt like there was sothing he had forgotten.
Leaving without a word and even unfollowing him on Weibo—he rembered it clearly.
Jiang Yisheng coughed lightly, "I’ll just re-follow you."
Saying that, he clicked on Ji Mingqian’s avatar and followed him again on Weibo.
Ji Mingqian smirked contentedly, "How about posting a picture together? After all, I visited the set and even brought cold drinks, didn’t I?"
Jiang Yisheng paused his fingers, looking at him with a half-smile, "Should I also say a few words of thanks?"
"If you’re willing, then sure."
"In your dreams."
Jiang Yisheng exited Weibo and opened the photos sent to him by Wen Rang, all photos from today’s shoot.
"This one looks good." Ji Mingqian flicked through the photos with his hand, "And this one too."
Watching him review the photos, Jiang Yisheng glanced at him, his eyes brimming with amusent.
"Wen Rang asked to select a few from here; they’ll be used for the product launch in a few days. Why don’t you help choose?"
Hearing this, Ji Mingqian took the tablet in his hands, his fingers quickly gliding over the photos, and soon had selected a few.
"Why didn’t you choose this one?" Jiang Yisheng asked, pointing to a photo of him wearing a white shirt, deliberately inquiring.
Ji Mingqian grumbled softly, swiping past it, "Not good-looking."
Not properly wearing the shirt, with buttons all askew; who’s he trying to charm?
Seeing through his mindset, Jiang Yisheng smiled faintly without saying a word.
The two whispered to each other, and Veya couldn’t hear clearly. Turning her head, she only saw them looking at the tablet together, close to one another.
She smiled warmly; it was rare for Asheng to be this friendly with a friend.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Hai turned his head, following her gaze, inadvertently catching a glimpse of the necklace falling out of Jiang Yisheng’s collar.
He was slightly taken aback. He had seen Asheng wearing this necklace before, but it was only the necklace with the green diamond, not the pendant with the silver plaque.
That pendant... Ahan also seed to have one, looking almost identical.
Veya had ntioned that it seed Xiaojiu gifted it to Ahan.
With the silver and green diamond pendants strung together, that ans...
"Don’t just randomly ss with my Weibo, hand it back." Seeing him play around with his Weibo, Jiang Yisheng hurriedly tried to grab the tablet back.
