When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 17

Perhaps the recent plans had been proceeding too smoothly, to the point that Jiang Jiang had almost forgotten that Ji Xu’an wasn’t someone who was so easily fooled, and she could be caught with her guard down.

It seemed that one still couldn’t get carried away.

Jiang Jiang imperceptibly pinched the palm of her hand, using the pain to force herself to calm down. She didn’t avoid Ji Xu’an’s gaze, but looked at Ji Xu’an with a hesitant expression for several seconds, and then softly replied to Ji Heyuan’s question.

“When I went, you had a friend there, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Ji Heyuan had originally been in a mood to watch a good show, but who knew she would hear such an answer? Her slightly smug expression immediately froze on her face, and she turned to steal a glance at her sister’s expression with considerable unease, secretly hating herself for saying that extra sentence.

Ji Heyuan was a little embarrassed for a moment, and didn’t want to be laughed at by Jiang Jiang, so she forcefully put on a brave face and said, “There’s nothing shameful about it, you could have just come in. I wouldn’t have kicked you out, would I?”

That was actually quite possible.

Ji Heyuan realized that the situation was very unfavorable to her, so she simply shut her mouth tightly and didn’t say a word.

She had always known that Ji Xu’an didn’t like her associating with Zheng Zhouzhou.

This wasn’t Ji Xu’an targeting Zheng Zhouzhou, but rather Ji Xu’an felt that people who could gain a foothold in the entertainment industry weren’t simple, especially small stars like Zheng Zhouzhou who were eager to become popular. What’s more, Ji Heyuan was a brainless person, so she was guaranteed to be fooled every time.

Ji Xu’an was afraid that she would be swindled until she had nothing left, so she usually had very strict control over her friendships.

Jiang Jiang had actually seen related plots in her dream. Perhaps it was precisely because Ji Xu’an controlled her too strictly that it aroused Ji Heyuan’s rebellious psychology, allowing her to easily step into the trap set by Zheng Zhouzhou.

After Jiang Jiang finished speaking just now, she paid attention to Ji Xu’an’s reaction.

Logically speaking, she didn’t know Zheng Zhouzhou, so she only said that the person was Ji Heyuan’s friend.

But she believed that Ji Xu’an definitely knew who she was talking about.

As expected, Ji Xu’an frowned almost imperceptibly, and this slight reaction was noticed by Jiang Jiang, who was silently observing her.

Ji Xu’an really knew who Zheng Zhouzhou was, and from the looks of it, her attitude towards Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t seem very friendly.

If Zheng Zhouzhou really had the intention of marrying Ji Xu’an, she would probably be disappointed.

Jiang Jiang wasn’t afraid of Zheng Zhouzhou taking a fancy to Ji Xu’an. On the contrary, she was afraid that Zheng Zhouzhou would have the desire but not the courage.

Perhaps when necessary, she could give the other party a hand.

Jiang Jiang picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of her and took a light sip at her lips. She used the action of drinking tea to block her slightly raised lips.

Because of Ji Heyuan’s guilty conscience, the matter of Jiang Jiang going to the hospital was glossed over, and no one mentioned the topic again.

Old lady Ji was in a really good mood. During the meal, Jiang Jiang wanted to sit next to her to pick up food for her, but she was squeezed away by the sharp-eyed Ji Heyuan. Old lady Ji saw it, but didn’t say anything, with a default attitude.

Jiang Jiang could compete with Ji Heyuan, but she didn’t dare to take her place, but in this way, she could only sit next to Ji Xu’an.

It was obvious that this was old lady Ji’s intention. Jiang Jiang seemed a little hesitant, lightly biting her lip, and looked at Ji Xu’an several times. Seeing that the other party didn’t seem displeased, she sat down next to her.

During the meal, old lady Ji kept reminding Jiang Jiang, and even pretended to cough, secretly winking at Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang was sure that Ji Xu’an had definitely noticed the old lady’s little actions, and was also very clear about the old lady’s intentions, but she didn’t show any resistance, and still calmly picked up the dishes, seemingly not noticing the exchange of glances between Jiang Jiang and the old lady.

Left with no choice, Jiang Jiang could only listen to the old lady and use the serving chopsticks to put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Ji Xu’an’s bowl.

Ji Xu’an glanced at her sideways. Jiang Jiang was so nervous that her hands were shaking, and her breathing was very unstable. She strained her voice, and her tone was so soft that it could drip water: “Sister Xu’an, today’s ribs are very delicious, you should try them too.”

Everyone at the table looked at Jiang Jiang, their gazes different.

Ji Xu’an was closest to Jiang Jiang, and could clearly feel her tension and discomfort. The hand holding the chopsticks was so forceful that her fingertips were almost bloodless, and Xie Xiao’s gaze had been dodging, not daring to meet her eyes.

It seemed that she was really just being forced to please me.

Was it just to make Grandma happy?

Speaking of which, was Xie Xiao’s attitude towards Grandma a little too close?

Ji Xu’an didn’t say whether it was good or bad. She remained silent, and the emotion in her eyes was unfathomable.

The dining table was silent. Just when Ji Heyuan thought her sister was going to throw the ribs into the trash, Ji Xu’an suddenly curled her lips and smiled, “Okay, thank you… Jiang Jiang.”

Jiang Jiang’s heart skipped a beat, and she almost changed her expression.

She never expected that Ji Xu’an would call her Jiang Jiang, when this person had only called her Xie Xiao in a cold tone before.

Was she deliberately testing me?

Jiang Jiang couldn’t guess Ji Xu’an’s thoughts. This person always wore a cold mask, and all her emotions were hidden beneath the mask. Whenever Jiang Jiang felt that she had grasped something, Ji Xu’an could always break her fantasy with her actual behavior.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jiang still felt that it was her attitude that had made Ji Xu’an suspicious. Could it be that Ji Xu’an thought that the reason why Grandma was trying so hard to bring them together was because I was instigating it behind the scenes?

After all, old lady Ji hadn’t been so anxious last time.

Jiang Jiang thought inwardly, but relaxed her expression. Under Ji Xu’an’s probing gaze, she also put a piece of ribs into Ji Heyuan’s bowl, “Xiao Yuan, you eat too.”

Ji Heyuan was stunned. She looked down at the ribs in her bowl, not knowing whether to eat them or not.

If she said they weren’t delicious, wouldn’t she be slapping her sister’s face?

But she really didn’t want to eat the dishes that Xie Xiao had picked up.

Ji Heyuan always felt like she had been drawn into some strange love triangle.

Fortunately, the invisible storm didn’t last too long. After Ji Xu’an ate the pork ribs, the atmosphere at the dining table returned to its initial harmony.

After the meal, Ji Xu’an led Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan away. The two walked behind Ji Xu’an, one on the left and one on the right, as well-behaved as little quails.

Of course, the exchange of glances was inevitable.

As they walked, Ji Xu’an suddenly stopped, and Jiang Jiang, caught off guard, almost bumped into her back.

The soft body touched and separated instantly, and the light breathing swept over the fragrance of the girl’s body, causing a burst of numb ripples on Ji Xu’an’s back.

Her breathing suddenly stagnated, and her body tensed unconsciously.

Before Ji Xu’an could react, Jiang Jiang quickly took two steps back and apologized repeatedly, “I’m sorry, President Ji, I was distracted just now.”

Ji Xu’an couldn’t blame her for anything, because on the other side, her own sister Ji Heyuan had also almost bumped into her. In the end, it was all her fault for stopping suddenly.

This accident came suddenly and unexpectedly, and exceeded Ji Xu’an’s expectations. Although she admitted that she didn’t like Xie Xiao, at the moment when the other party’s body touched her back, Ji Xu’an still felt a subtle discomfort.

This should be the first time me and Xie Xiao had been so close, right?

Ji Xu’an’s lose of composure was only momentary, and she quickly came back to her senses and said in a low voice, “It’s okay.”

Jiang Jiang hummed softly, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were wet, obviously also feeling very embarrassed.

Ji Xu’an pursed her lips, and was about to say something more when she suddenly noticed Xie Xiao moving her shoulder. She probably thought she wasn’t looking at her, and secretly raised her arm, her wrist brushing lightly across her chest as if inadvertently.

Ji Xu’an was puzzled at first, and then her expression suddenly froze.

Jiang Jiang looked up guiltily as if she had done something wrong. For the first time, Ji Xu’an didn’t look directly at her, but avoided her gaze.

Although the expression on the other party’s face was still cold and aloof, as if she hadn’t noticed anything, Jiang Jiang still caught the unnaturalness that was revealed for a moment when Ji Xu’an pursed her lips.

It seemed that she had already guessed it.

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes and pretended to be shy, but couldn’t help but think in her heart that Ji Xu’an had given so many warnings and tests before, and she thought the other party was so calm and collected, but she didn’t expect that just such a small contact could make Ji Xu’an feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ji Xu’an’s image in Jiang Jiang’s heart suddenly turned into a paper tiger that could be punctured with a single poke.

Jiang Jiang felt a sense of satisfaction in revenge. Who told Ji Xu’an to inexplicably put the blame on me? It would be too much of a loss if I didn’t do something.

The undercurrent between the two didn’t affect Ji Heyuan, who was blankly rubbing her shoulder.

Why did I feel like someone had tripped me just now?

But Xie Xiao was at least a meter away from me and hadn’t touched me.

Ji Heyuan suddenly shivered and her face turned pale with fright.

Could I have encountered a ghost?
