When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 18

Ji Heyuan, thinking of how she had been feeling a chill down her spine for the past two days, couldn’t help but lean closer to Ji Xu’an.

My sister was so fierce, even a female ghost would be afraid to approach, right?

The strange atmosphere between Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an disappeared completely because of Ji Heyuan’s action. Ji Xu’an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief silently, and then frowned as she looked at Ji Heyuan.

“Do you remember what you promised me?”

Ji Heyuan was dumbfounded, “Wh-what?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t speak, but only looked at Ji Heyuan with a cold gaze. Ji Heyuan suddenly understood.

She bit her lip, and under Ji Xu’an’s death stare, she had no choice but to lower her head.

“Xie Xiao, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have yelled at you, and I shouldn’t have wronged you. I hope you’ll be generous and forgive my momentary impulsiveness.” Ji Heyuan said these words almost with her eyes closed.

Having her apologize to someone she hated was even more uncomfortable than killing her, but her sister had already deducted two months of her pocket money. If Ji Heyuan didn’t compromise, she wouldn’t be able to get a penny from Ji Xu’an for at least half a year.

However, even if she chose to compromise, Ji Heyuan was still unwilling to apologize honestly, and had to play some tricks to disgust Xie Xiao.

She was simply well-versed in the art of moral blackmail. If Jiang Jiang didn’t forgive her, she would immediately be labeled as petty.

What could Jiang Jiang do? Of course, she chose to forgive her.

She bit her lip and said to Ji Heyuan with a good temper, “Xiao Yuan, I won’t hold it against you. But in the future, you must never be so impulsive again. If you encounter someone with an even more violent temper, you’ll suffer.”

Damn it!

Ji Heyuan immediately felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly. She didn’t know if Xie Xiao had been disgusted, but she herself had been disgusted.

What she couldn’t stand the most was Xie Xiao talking to her in this elder-like tone. However, her sister thought that what Xie Xiao said made a lot of sense, and even warned herself along with the other party’s words, “If I find out that you’re bullying others again, it won’t just be two months, you can forget about getting any pocket money next year.”

Ji Heyuan was almost wronged to death, and her tone was listless, “Oh.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t speak. Compared to Ji Heyuan’s resentment, she was like a punching bag without a temper, with the words “honest and easy to bully” written all over her face.

Seeing this, Ji Xu’an couldn’t say much.

She asked the driver to send Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan back to the old house. After they both got into the car, Ji Xu’an said to Jiang Jiang, “Someone will pick you up in the afternoon. Pack up the things you want to take with you.”

Jiang Jiang immediately thought of what Ji Xu’an had said about having Secretary Zhao help her with the off-campus accommodation procedures.

She raised a smile, “Okay, thank you, President Ji.”

The distant and official reply made Ji Xu’an feel as if she was talking to a company employee. Her head suddenly cleared, and a possibility that she had never thought of before appeared in Ji Xu’an’s mind.

Could it be that Xie Xiao was treating me like an employer?

Ji Xu’an didn’t speak, but Ji Heyuan, who was on the side, squeezed over and looked at them with a shocked gaze, “Wait a minute, Xie Xiao, why are you calling my sister President Ji??”

Wasn’t she just calling her sister Xu’an affectionately?

Ji Heyuan was puzzled at first, and then she didn’t know what she was imagining.

Her gaze suddenly became a little weird.

“Could it be that this is a special fetish between you two?”

Ji Xu’an frowned fiercely, “What nonsense are you thinking?”

Her expression was too serious and proper, and Ji Heyuan didn’t dare to be presumptuous anymore. She quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, indicating that she would never be nosy again.

Her mouth was closed, but Ji Heyuan’s eyes were rolling around on Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang, obviously the guesses in her mind hadn’t stopped at all.

Jiang Jiang was almost laughing out loud, it was rare to see Ji Xu’an being blocked and unable to speak.

Should I explain? But Jiang Jiang did call her that.

But if she didn’t explain, Ji Heyuan would only think that she was tacitly agreeing.

In the end, Jiang Jiang opened her mouth and said, “Xiao Yuan, you’re thinking too much. I wanted to call her that, it has nothing to do with President Ji.”

She seemed to be speaking for Ji Xu’an, but there was a hint of trying to cover up, and it only made things worse.

Ji Xu’an felt a headache, but didn’t show it on her face. Her expression was still faint, and she glanced at Ji Heyuan, “You’re not learning well at such a young age, it seems that someone has taught you badly.”

Ji Heyuan really didn’t dare to speak this time, she was very afraid that Ji Xu’an would blame all of this on Zheng Zhouzhou.

Ji Heyuan chose to cease fire, and Ji Xu’an didn’t explain anything. She didn’t even look at Jiang Jiang again, but only said to the driver in the front row, “Send them back.”

The car started and soon Ji Xu’an’s figure could no longer be seen.

Probably remembering Ji Xu’an’s warning, Ji Heyuan didn’t cause any trouble along the way, but she would look at Jiang Jiang with a probing gaze every now and then.

Jiang Jiang ignored her and went straight to her room after returning to the old house safely, putting all the things she wanted to take with her together.

She didn’t actually have many things of her own. She could pack everything in the black backpack she had brought with her at the beginning. Jiang Jiang also packed some clothes, as for the rest of the things, Jiang Jiang didn’t plan to take them away.

…

When Zhao Zitang came to pick her up in the afternoon, he was quite surprised to see that she only had a backpack and a small suitcase.

“Are all your things here?”

Jiang Jiang nodded, “Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Zhao.”

She knew that Zhao Zitang was Ji Xu’an’s confidant and must have a lot of things to deal with on a regular basis. She didn’t expect Ji Xu’an to have him pick her up.

Secretary Zhao smiled and said, “It’s no trouble at all, but I have to apologize to Miss Xie.”

Jiang Jiang looked at him in confusion.

Zhao Zitang explained, “The phone you’re using was bought by me, and President Ji didn’t know that I only saved my own number in the phone. I didn’t handle this matter properly, and it caused Miss Xie to misunderstand.”

Jiang Jiang quickly waved her hand, “I didn’t blame you or get angry. I can understand. After all, I wasn’t familiar with President Ji at that time, so it was right for you to be cautious.”

But Zhao Zitang actually come to explain this matter to me specifically. Could it be that Ji Xu’an had said something to him?

Zhao Zitang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xie Xiao didn’t blame him. This matter was that he wanted to flatter his boss, but accidentally patted the horse’s leg.

He thought that with President Ji’s dislike of Xie Xiao, she definitely wouldn’t want to have too much interaction with Xie Xiao.

Zhao Zitang looked at Jiang Jiang’s fair and rosy face, and inexplicably felt that President Ji might really fall for her.

Just looking at Ji Xu’an’s attitude towards Xie Xiao was enough to know.

It had only been a few days, and Ji Xu’an’s tone when mentioning Xie Xiao had changed from the initial coldness and disgust to the current calmness and peace.

Even if it wasn’t love yet, Zhao Zitang was sure that Ji Xu’an definitely didn’t hate Xie Xiao as much as she did at the beginning.

This little girl looked quite well-behaved, and didn’t seem to be very scheming. Could it be that President Ji just liked this kind of well-behaved and obedient person?

Jiang Jiang could feel that Zhao Zitang’s attitude towards her seemed to be different from before. Although this change was very subtle, it was indeed real, not Jiang Jiang’s illusion.

Zhao Zitang was Ji Xu’an’s confidant, and his change could only be influenced by Ji Xu’an. In this way, Ji Xu’an’s impression of her should be pretty good.

They arrived at the apartment building downstairs in silence. Zhao Zitang swiped his card to enter the elevator. Although Jiang Jiang couldn’t understand it, she felt it was very impressive. She stared at Zhao Zitang’s movements, and her gaze lingered on the elevator card for a long time.

This thing looked like the bank card she used to save money.

Seeing her curiosity, Zhao Zitang gave the elevator card to Jiang Jiang, “Miss Xie, you need to swipe the card to go up in the elevator. I’ll tell you the password for the gate later, and you may also need to record a fingerprint.”

Jiang Jiang looked at him with bright eyes, looking completely trusting, “I’ll listen to you.”

Zhao Zitang’s heart softened, thinking that she was only just eighteen years old and still a little girl, and couldn’t help but be more patient.

Jiang Jiang didn’t show any impatience and listened very carefully. Those clear almond eyes always looked at Zhao Zitang, giving Zhao Zitang the illusion that he was her only reliance.

She must be very popular with teachers at school, Zhao Zitang thought.

He seemed to know why President Ji’s attitude had changed.

After all, it was really difficult to hate this kind of little girl who was well-behaved, had delicate and beautiful looks, and had a soft and sweet voice.

Zhao Zitang simply taught Jiang Jiang as if she were a child, which was exactly what Jiang Jiang wanted. She would also draw inferences from other things and ask some other questions.

For example, if she wanted to go out to buy groceries, which way should she go.

Zhao Zitang was thoughtful, “Do you want to cook yourself?”

Jiang Jiang suddenly stopped talking. Under Zhao Zitang’s gaze, two blushes gradually spread across Jiang Jiang’s cheeks. She stammered, “Will President Ji come here tonight?”

Zhao Zitang didn’t know how to answer her. He shouldn’t be meddling in these things, but looking at Jiang Jiang’s shy appearance, even if those beautiful eyes were slightly lowered, it was difficult to hide the expectation and nervousness in them, Zhao Zitang suddenly couldn’t bear to disappoint her.

“Probably,” At worst, he would remind President Ji.

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang’s eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light, “I want to buy groceries and cook myself.”

Zhao Zitang smiled, “There’s no need to go to so much trouble. If you want any ingredients, just make a list and I’ll have someone send them over.”

Jiang Jiang went to find paper and pen and wrote down everything she wanted on it.

Zhao Zitang was first surprised by her beautiful handwriting, and then he noticed that most of the ingredients Jiang Jiang wanted were what Ji Xu’an liked to eat.

Zhao Zitang couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that Miss Xie really cared about President Ji.

Zhao Zitang left with the grocery list, and Jiang Jiang moved her things into the bedroom. This room was about the same size as the room in the old house, the difference being that this room had two large floor-to-ceiling windows. Jiang Jiang fell in love with this bedroom at first sight.

She didn’t even have time to organize her things, and walked a few steps to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, squinting her eyes to look at the distant scenery.

The traffic was endless, and tall buildings stood peacefully in the center of the city. Under the gentle blowing of the autumn wind, Jiang Jiang felt a special atmosphere rolling in from the distant sky.

That was the tranquility and freedom she longed for.

…

Zhao Zitang returned to the company to report, and Ji Xu’an was sending the assistant to make her a cup of coffee. Seeing him walk into the office, Ji Xu’an rubbed her aching temples, “Had she move there?”

“Yes.” Zhao Zitang nodded, “Miss Xie doesn’t have many things, she said she could pack them herself, so I came back to the company first.”

Ji Xu’an’s eyes were still fixed on the plan in her hand, and she asked him without looking up, “Does she need anything else?”

Zhao Zitang hesitated, “President Ji, are you going to Star River Bay tonight?”

Ji Xu’an paused as she flipped through the documents, and she looked up at Zhao Zitang, “What do you want to say?”

Zhao Zitang’s heart tightened, “Miss Xie asked me for some ingredients, she wants to… cook you a meal.”

Ji Xu’an was silent for a long time, she stared at Zhao Zitang quietly, until he was almost sweating from being stared at, before she lowered her eyes and said faintly, “You can go out first.”

She didn’t say whether she would go or not.

Zhao Zitang thought that it wasn’t his fault, he had already tried his best, and had said good things for Xie Xiao under the pressure of being suspected by President Ji. He hoped that Miss Xie would get her wish in the end.

Just thinking about Miss Xie making a table full of delicious dishes, waiting alone from dawn to dusk, but never seeing the person she wanted to see, Zhao Zitang couldn’t help but feel sad for her.

With Miss Xie’s love for President Ji, she would probably be very sad.

Maybe she would cry all night.

Alas, it was a pity that President Ji was so cold and ruthless.

…

Inside the office.

Ji Xu’an looked at the grocery list left by Zhao Zitang, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

She had only eaten with Xie Xiao a few times, and each meal was different, how did Xie Xiao know what dishes she liked to eat?

Grandma must have told her, after all, Grandma liked her very much.

Butler Lin also liked her, and even Secretary Zhao spoke well of her.

Thinking of Xie Xiao’s attitude towards her, which was both close and distant, Ji Xu’an herself didn’t realize that there was a hint of interest and exploration in her always calm eyes.

Her fingertip tapped lightly on the grocery list, and Ji Xu’an was also thinking about this question.

Should I go see her?

Last time it was because Xie Xiao said she had something to discuss that Ji Xu’an agreed, but this time, she knew that Xie Xiao didn’t have anything serious to do, she just simply wanted to treat her to a meal.

Was Xie Xiao worth me wasting my time and making a special trip?
