Ji Feifei was happy to show it. And of course, she had always had Li Lanni’s photo. She was waiting when her mother would ask for it. Finally, her mother rembered about Li Lanni!
She quickly showed her mother a photo of Li Lanni with Yang Su.
Just as she expected, Madam Ji frowned. "She has a boyfriend? If that’s the sa girl, Xiehan shouldn’t chase her.
But once she took a good look at the girl, she frowned in displeasure. "This girl bears so resemblance to Li Yuming."
It had been many years, but she couldn’t forget that woman. And from Li Lanni’s face, anyone could tell that they were mother and daughter.
Ji Feifei’s role was to make Madam Ji sure of it. She pretended to think hard about it then ’rembered’ and said, "Her mother is called Li Yuming."
Madam Ji’s frown deepened.
Well, the girl looked pretty.
But she had taken her mother’s surna.
She personally didn’t have anything against that, but she didn’t want to give anyone a reason to talk about the Ji family.
Besides, this girl clearly had a boyfriend.
How could she let her son marry soone else’s girlfriend? Not to ntion, Ji Feifei had said that this girl’s personal life was a ss.
Ji Feifei watched Madam Ji’s displeased expressions gloatingly.
But then she shrugged helplessly. "Mother, perhaps we are mistaken? It’s just a na after all. Brother only said her na is Lanni. He didn’t say the surna is Li. Perhaps it’s another Lanni. There are many girls called Lanni anyway.
While she put on a caring and optimistic act, she was only making Madam Ji beco hopeful only to get that hope crushed harder.
The day they would et Li Lanni would be quite entertaining.
....
The oblivious pair had a delicious lunch before Ji Xiehan offered to drop her off.
Li Lanni didn’t reject the offer, and she scolded herself for accepting this so fast.
Could soone tell her why she was getting more and more brainless?
The entire car ride was almost silent, with only slow, soothing music playing in the background.
Even though the entire ride was a smooth one, for so reason, she felt a bit nervous. Nowadays, in the presence of Ji Xiehan, her heart suddenly starts beating loudly. Once they arrived, Li Lanni got out of the car and dashed off like a scared rabbit.
But just a step later, her hand got caught from behind in a firm grip.
Her face went red as she felt him close in on her. She couldn’t dare turn to look at him.
"Is.... is sothing the matter?" She stamred.
Ji Xiehan was now right behind her. He was so close that if he moved foward just a little more, their bodies would touch.
Ji Xiehan loosened his grip on her hand a little, but he did not let go. And for so weird reason, she didn’t shrug it off. Neither did she try to put so distance between them.
As far as he could rember, they had never been this close to each other.
For a mont, everything he wanted to say flew out of his mind. He was standing so close to her that his senses were filled with her scent.
From his angle, he could see that her face was flushed all the way to her ears, and he knew that he wasn’t any better off.
He watched as her other hand tightly gripped her shoulder bag in nervousness. How cute! Her tiny actions tickled his heart.
How he wished ti would freeze at this mont.
But, it was just a wish.
Li Lanni recovered from her embarrassnt and asked, "You want to say sothing?"
Ji Xiehan snapped back too, but his voice was hoarse as he spoke. "Star Art International is holding its 9th-anniversary banquet tomorrow. Can we go together?"
His warm breath gently brushed against her face, making her heart flutter like a warm breeze had swooshed against it. Li Lanni unconsciously bit her lip, scolded herself for doing that, and stuttered. "I...I have an invitation." The tutor had invited them to be a banquet in today’s class.
"Then let’s go together." He said as though it was the most natural thing to say.
Li Lanni pondered about it a bit, at the sa ti wondering why he wasn’t letting go of her hand. If anyone saw their current position, they would misunderstand it. But she couldn’t bring herself to remove her hand. She knew she was being silly for thinking this but It felt nice to have her hand in his big and warm hand. Thus they maintained an ambiguous position even though she was feeling a bit awkward. After a mont of hesitation, she answered passively, "I haven’t decided whether to go yet."
A smile threatened to surface on Ji Xiehan’s lips. That ant she wasn’t against going together, right? "Tell when you co to a decision."
"Okay."
He was glad to hear this answer. This ant that if she was attending it, they could go together. Even better was the fact that whether she was going or not, she would have to contact him to tell him her decision. He bit his tongue in his mouth to avoid smiling.
But sohow he felt that he forgot sothing important.
anwhile, Li Lanni was wondering whether to tell him to move away when he naturally let go of her hand and created so distance between them. She sighed in relief. Her heart was beating so loudly when they were so close that she felt she was losing her mind.
When she looked up to distract her fluttering heart, she found her mother was walking towards them.
Her mother was ho? Then had she seen their awkward position earlier? How embarrassing. Li Lanni blushed even harder than she did a mont ago when she almost felt his body against her back. "Mom..."
Li Yuming glanced at the two of them then glared at Ji Xiehan when Li Lanni wasn’t looking. It was a warning of sorts.
