When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 61

Just as Ji Xu’an was thinking about how to appease Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang was also contemplating what to do next.

After finally returning to the room last night, Jiang Jiang saw that Fu Xiaoyin had sent her several voice messages after they left.

Although Fu Xiaoyin’s words were rambling and her pronunciation was a bit unclear, Jiang Jiang still roughly understood what she meant.

The glass of wine last night was indeed problematic, but Fu Xiaoyin repeatedly emphasized that it wouldn’t harm the body, it would only make Ji Xu’an temporarily lose consciousness, and she would be fine after a night’s sleep.

Fu Xiaoyin also comforted Jiang Jiang not to worry, although Ji Xu’an’s mind would be temporarily unclear, she would still remember everything that happened last night when she woke up the next day.

Jiang Jiang lost sleep for half the night because of this sentence.

She thought a lot, and finally her head started to ache in bursts, so Jiang Jiang simply got up and turned on the computer, relying on typing to calm herself down.

The second chapter was also well received, as expected, but there were still not many readers who seriously discussed the plot. After all, her story had just begun and was still in the stage of explaining the world background.

However, Jiang Jiang’s behavior of liking each comment was discovered by some readers, and they praised the author as very cute in the comment area.

Looking at the messages from these little angels, Jiang Jiang’s originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Strictly speaking, the current situation should be more beneficial than harmful to her.

If Ji Xu’an really remembered everything that happened last night, she definitely wouldn’t pretend that nothing had happened.

There were now two possibilities in front of Jiang Jiang.

One was that Ji Xu’an was unwilling to get engaged to her. Then Jiang Jiang’s hard work, the relationship that she had finally eased with Ji Xu’an, might be ruined in one day, and the two were likely to return to the initial estrangement and stalemate.

With Ji Xu’an’s character, she would probably silently distance herself from Jiang Jiang again.

Should this be considered a decent rejection from an adult?

Another possibility was that Ji Xu’an was willing to be a pair of emotionless surface wives with her. Just like at noon yesterday, they pretended to be affectionate in front of outsiders. With Ji Xu’an’s acting skills, as long as she wanted to, it would be enough to deceive anyone.

After all, even Jiang Jiang was almost deceived by her yesterday. If she didn’t know that they had already canceled the engagement, Jiang Jiang would have thought that they were really getting married soon, just like the others at the dinner table.

From that time on, Jiang Jiang understood that she could never fully believe what Ji Xu’an said.

However, she herself was just as bad, after all, she hadn’t told Ji Xu’an the truth, so on this point, the two of them were even.

Jiang Jiang tried to convince herself, but she still couldn’t forget the kiss last night.

As long as she was free, Jiang Jiang would think of the feeling of her lips and tongue intertwined with Ji Xu’an, and the stinging pain at the corners of her mouth clearly reminded her of what Ji Xu’an had done to her last night.

Jiang Jiang rubbed her lips hard. Although she knew that kissing was not a very excessive thing in this world, Ji Xu’an was not her fiancée now…

How could she kiss me so casually, and disregard my rejection?

Jiang Jiang closed her eyes, feeling her head start to hurt again.

Actually, she was quite angry last night, but she was much better now, but in front of Ji Xu’an, Jiang Jiang would not choose to reveal her true feelings.

The more angry she seemed, the less easily this matter would pass.

She had to make Ji Xu’an see her attitude clearly, which could also be regarded as forcing Ji Xu’an a bit, and at the same time clearing her own suspicion to the greatest extent, so as not to let Ji Xu’an think that she had deliberately colluded with Fu Xiaoyin to plot against her.

As long as Grandma was there, Ji Xu’an shouldn’t be angry with her…

Jiang Jiang’s fingers unconsciously typed a string of meaningless garbled characters on the keyboard. After Jiang Jiang reacted, she quickly deleted these symbols that were unrelated to the main text.

She rubbed her wrist and was about to save the new chapter when there was suddenly a sound from the door – someone was knocking.

Jiang Jiang’s face stiffened, and then quickly returned to calm.

She tidied up her clothes, and only went to open the door after confirming that there was no problem.

The person standing outside the door was indeed Ji Xu’an.

Ji Xu’an had never been so cowardly. She didn’t even dare to look up at Jiang Jiang, but first called Jiang Jiang cautiously.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Ji Xu’an didn’t hear Jiang Jiang’s reply. Her heart tightened, and she tentatively raised her eyes to look at Jiang Jiang.

What caught her eyes was the faint dark circles under Jiang Jiang’s eyes, and the undisguised look of fatigue on her face.

Ji Xu’an subconsciously cared, “Did you not sleep well last night?”

As soon as the words came out, Ji Xu’an almost bit her tongue.

Why Jiang Jiang didn’t sleep well, they both knew it clearly, wasn’t it because of the good things she did.

Her caring for Jiang Jiang was as ridiculous as a hunter caring for the prey they had caught.

Ji Xu’an quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that!

“It’s all my fault, you…”

You can hit me or scold me.

Ji Xu’an hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly stopped because of Jiang Jiang’s action of lowering her eyes.

Jiang Jiang lowered her head to avoid Ji Xu’an’s gaze. Her resistance was very obvious, as if she didn’t have the patience to listen to Ji Xu’an’s explanation at all.

Ji Xu’an’s fingers hanging by her side slowly curled up, clenching into a fist. In the end, she could only repeat “I’m sorry” weakly.

Jiang Jiang’s hand was still on the doorknob. Her fingers were tightly gripping the metal handle, her voice light and calm, “Hmm… I know, is there anything else, Sister?”

Ji Xu’an had imagined many possibilities before knocking on the door, and Jiang Jiang’s reaction at this time was also within her expectations.

But even after making all the mental preparations, Ji Xu’an was still very at a loss, as if her usually flexible thinking had been frozen.

As soon as she stood in front of Jiang Jiang, Ji Xu’an didn’t know what to say.

Jiang Jiang didn’t scold her, let alone question her. Her attitude was only slightly colder than usual, and Ji Xu’an should feel fortunate, but for some reason, she felt an unspeakable discomfort in her heart.

She would rather Jiang Jiang scold her, at least that would show that Jiang Jiang cared about her, instead of being so calm as if she didn’t care at all.

Ji Xu’an knew that in their relationship, Jiang Jiang had always been the weaker party. Jiang Jiang was willing to let this matter pass decently, and was actually enduring her grievances to accommodate her.

But Ji Xu’an didn’t want Jiang Jiang’s accommodation. She wanted to see Jiang Jiang be able to lose her temper at her wantonly.

Because decency and compromise are left to ordinary people. How could a person not have any temper when facing someone they truly trust and are close to?

It’s just that Ji Xu’an didn’t dare, and wasn’t qualified to ask these words.

She thought that Jiang Jiang hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, and that she should wait until she had filled her stomach before saying anything.

“The hotel service staff sent breakfast over, come out and eat something first.”

Ji Xu’an paused, her tone seeming to have a trace of imperceptible pleading, “After you’re full, I… I want to talk to you about what happened last night, can I?”

Her attitude was low enough and she was very patient. When Jiang Jiang didn’t answer her, she just stood there silently, her dark eyes fixed on Jiang Jiang, her expression pitiful.

The room wasn’t cold, and Ji Xu’an was only wearing a thin nightgown, her arms and legs exposed to the air.

Jiang Jiang saw that her forearms and legs were bruised, probably from when Ji Xu’an stumbled into the bathroom to take a shower last night. Maybe her lower back was also injured.

When Jiang Jiang pushed her last night, Ji Xu’an’s lower back hit the shoe cabinet, the sound was loud, and it should have hurt.

From the surface, it seemed that Ji Xu’an was the pitiful one who had been wronged.

After a long while, Jiang Jiang nodded silently.

Ji Xu’an secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was really worried that Jiang Jiang would completely reject her because of this, and would never pay attention to her again.

Fortunately, Jiang Jiang was still soft-hearted.

Jiang Jiang walked out of the room under Ji Xu’an’s gaze, and Ji Xu’an followed her step by step, quickly pulling out a chair for Jiang Jiang.

The two sat down facing each other.

Ji Xu’an didn’t move her chopsticks much, and only paid attention to Jiang Jiang. She always put the vegetables into the other’s bowl before Jiang Jiang wanted to pick them up.

Her diligent appearance was almost like directly feeding Jiang Jiang with a spoon.

But Jiang Jiang’s heart was still full of grievance, and she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites. She basically didn’t touch the dishes that Ji Xu’an had put in her bowl.

“Sister, you don’t have to be like this,” Jiang Jiang said lightly.

She had already confirmed the other party’s attitude from Ji Xu’an’s reaction. It seemed that Ji Xu’an had chosen the latter.

Ji Xu’an also put down her chopsticks, her gaze retracted from the food left on Jiang Jiang’s plate, and then met Jiang Jiang’s calm eyes.

The two sat opposite each other at the dining table, their serious expressions mirroring one another. While Jiang Jiang appeared calm, Ji Xu’an felt a knot of anxiety and tension in her chest. This conversation felt far more daunting than any previous encounters.

Ji Xu’an sat upright, her eyes staring straight at Jiang Jiang’s face, “Jiang Jiang, I was wrong about what happened last night, I apologize to you.”

She still remembered Jiang Jiang wanting to push her away several times, but finally failed because she was too weak.

“You kindly helped me back, but I went crazy and offended you. It’s right for you to be angry with me no matter what,” Ji Xu’an’s hand under the table had been clenched into a fist. She secretly reminded herself not to panic, and to speak slowly.

“I know you’re angry, you can vent it however you want, I have no objection. But can you… not ignore me forever, and give me another chance to make up for my mistakes?”

Ji Xu’an spoke with some difficulty. She still remembered that she had said these words a few days ago, but she didn’t expect that she would make a mistake so quickly.

If she were Jiang Jiang, she wouldn’t give the other party a chance to defend herself at all.

So Jiang Jiang was still too soft-hearted.

But Ji Xu’an was a beneficiary of Jiang Jiang’s character, and she couldn’t tell Jiang Jiang to be cruel to others at this time.

“It’s okay, I know Sister was just drunk.” Jiang Jiang didn’t meet Ji Xu’an’s eyes, but looked down at the breakfast in front of her. She pursed her lips, “If Sister just wants to apologize to me, then there’s no need, I’m not angry.”

Hearing this, Ji Xu’an felt a stuffy pain in her heart, mixed with heartache.

Jiang Jiang really didn’t like her at all. Even though something like this had happened between the two, Jiang Jiang’s first reaction was to clear the relationship.

But she said that she wasn’t angry, but her expression and demeanor clearly revealed her unhappiness. Ji Xu’an thought she would be happy, but her face didn’t look much better.

Ji Xu’an didn’t want to see Jiang Jiang’s aggrieved appearance.

After waiting for Jiang Jiang to finish speaking, she got up and walked around the dining table to Jiang Jiang, squatted down in front of Jiang Jiang, and looked at Jiang Jiang from a bottom-up angle.

“I drank alcohol last night, but I wasn’t drunk, and my consciousness wasn’t completely blurred. I know what I’m doing.”

In other words, she kissed Jiang Jiang only because she wanted to do that, and it had nothing to do with any external factors. Even without alcohol, she still wanted to kiss her.

Ji Xu’an’s tone was very serious, “I was wrong about this, I should apologize to you, but I don’t just want to apologize to you.”

She stared straight at Jiang Jiang’s eyes, her tone becoming more and more humble, “Jiang Jiang, I… After what happened last night, I don’t think I can continue to live in peace with you, and pretend that nothing has happened.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang was finally willing to raise her eyes to look directly into Ji Xu’an’s eyes. Her eyes were slightly red, and that often smiling face revealed stubbornness and grievance, “Then what does Sister want to do?”

“All the relationships between us depend on Sister. Actually, I have never had the right to decide.”

“If Sister thinks that I deliberately didn’t push you away last night, I’ll accept it.” Jiang Jiang sniffed, and more and more water gathered in her eyes, “Or if Sister still wants to distance herself from me like before, and leave me alone in the apartment, it doesn’t matter, I’ll listen to Sister.”

The more Jiang Jiang spoke, the more upset she became, tears welling in her eyes. She seemed reluctant to show vulnerability to Ji Xu’an, so she averted her gaze.

“Anyway, Sister has never given me a chance to say no.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t want to hear Ji Xu’an say these meaningless words. She wanted Ji Xu’an to clearly tell her what kind of relationship they should continue to get along with in the future.

As soon as Ji Xu’an saw Jiang Jiang’s tears, she panicked. She was flustered and wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Jiang Jiang’s eyes, but she was afraid that this move would make Jiang Jiang even more angry.

Her hand stopped in the air, her fingertips repeatedly stretched out and retracted, so anxious that she almost forgot to breathe, and even forgot to explain a few words for herself.

In the end, Ji Xu’an simply took two tissues from the dining table and handed them to Jiang Jiang. Jiang Jiang reached out and took them, wiping her eyes hard twice, and the corners of her eyes immediately turned red.

Seeing this, Ji Xu’an subconsciously moved her lips, wanting to tell Jiang Jiang to be gentler, Jiang Jiang was so afraid of pain, she would definitely be uncomfortable afterwards.

But in the end, she didn’t say it.

After being quiet for a while, Jiang Jiang’s emotions finally calmed down a little, and the tears slowly stopped.

Ji Xu’an then coaxed softly, “Don’t cry first, okay?”

She slowly tentatively reached out and grasped Jiang Jiang’s wrist. Jiang Jiang didn’t know what she wanted to do, and didn’t immediately break free.

So Ji Xu’an put her hand on her face, “Just slap me twice?”

Jiang Jiang was stunned, “You…”

She didn’t know what to say because of Ji Xu’an’s sudden action.

The development of things was a bit beyond Jiang Jiang’s expectations.

Ji Xu’an calmed down instead, her tone vaguely carrying a coaxing tone, “You’re angry, holding it in will only make yourself more uncomfortable, it’s better to vent it out. Even if you can’t completely calm down, at least you’ll feel better in your heart.”

“This is the fastest and most effective way.”

“Anyway, all your grievances were brought to you by me, and it’s only reasonable for me to bear them now.”

Ji Xu’an said with such certainty and a particularly natural tone, as if it were just a normal little thing.

Jiang Jiang was almost swayed by Ji Xu’an, but the sight of the other woman’s familiar face stopped her. Finally, Jiang Jiang pulled her hand away, muttering, “I won’t hit you.”

Her voice still carried a strong sob.

Ji Xu’an didn’t seem surprised at all, and she quickly replied, “Then… then can I hit myself?”

She was usually so hesitant, but she reacted very quickly at this time. Before Jiang Jiang could even react, a crisp sound rang in her ears.

Ji Xu’an’s face immediately turned red. She was really cruel to herself, and this slap didn’t hold back at all, the force was particularly solid.

Jiang Jiang had never seen such a scene before. Seeing that Ji Xu’an wanted to do it a second time, Jiang Jiang quickly stopped her, “Enough, Ji Xu’an, don’t do this!”

She didn’t even call her sister anymore.

Hearing this, Ji Xu’an breathed a heavy sigh of relief instead.

With half of her face flushed red, she said seriously to Jiang Jiang, “It’s my fault, I always make you unhappy. A fool like me should be beaten.”

“If you can’t do it, then I’ll do it myself. As long as you can feel more comfortable in your heart, I’m fine no matter what.”

She scolded herself very smoothly, without any awkwardness.

Jiang Jiang moved her tearful eyes, only leaving Ji Xu’an with half of her profile, “Do you think the problem between us can be solved by slapping yourself twice?”

“No.” Ji Xu’an followed suit and said, following Jiang Jiang’s words, “This is just to let you calm down, it doesn’t mean that things are over.”

Understanding Jiang Jiang’s concerns, she softened her tone, explaining, “I’ve never seen you as someone who can be easily manipulated or violated. Your place in my heart is unique.”

“I have always hoped that you can live happily and joyfully.” Ji Xu’an said, her voice trailing off, low and slightly muffled. “But it seems I’m always the one who makes you cry.”

“I was a terrible person at first, and I treated you badly.”

“I have regretted every day since then.”

Ji Xu’an observed Jiang Jiang’s face, and seeing that she didn’t refute her, she continued in a firm tone, “I never thought of staying away from you, and I won’t treat you like that again.”

She originally wanted to tell Jiang Jiang her feelings, but thinking of Jiang Jiang’s repeated rejections and shifts of topic, Ji Xu’an swallowed back the sentence “I like you.”

Jiang Jiang clearly didn’t like her at all, and her confession would only be a burden to Jiang Jiang. It would be better to let Jiang Jiang think that she just wanted to take responsibility for what happened last night.

Maybe that way, Jiang Jiang would be more likely to accept it.

Thinking of this, Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Jiang Jiang, what I want to say is actually just one sentence.”

This sentence had been repeated countless times in Ji Xu’an’s heart, but it was the first time she had said it seriously in front of Jiang Jiang.

“Are you willing to really marry me, so that the marriage contract between us is no longer just acting?”

After Ji Xu’an finished speaking, she took out a black velvet gift box from somewhere and opened it in front of Jiang Jiang.

Inside was a diamond ring.

Jiang Jiang was slightly stunned. She still knew that people in this world gave rings when proposing, but she was surprised that Ji Xu’an had also prepared one. She thought Ji Xu’an wouldn’t care about these things.

Did she have this ring sent over after she woke up this morning?

In fact, Ji Xu’an had prepared the ring a long time ago. From the day Ji Xu’an discovered her feelings, she had been preparing these things, but she had never told Jiang Jiang.

Before leaving this time, Ji Xu’an had inexplicably brought the ring with her, never imagining she’d actually use it, especially not after what had happened.

Jiang Jiang remained silent.

Ji Xu’an was still waiting nervously for Jiang Jiang’s reply, but she had already guessed the answer in her heart. Jiang Jiang was likely to reject her.

There might be disappointment, but not much.

After all, Ji Xu’an’s move was not to force Jiang Jiang to give her a clear answer. She just wanted to let Jiang Jiang know that what she said was serious and not a joke.

So she took out the ring she bought, but didn’t specifically ask someone to come and arrange the venue.

A grand proposal is only beautiful when both hearts are willing; otherwise, it’s just a painful, one-sided performance.

Moreover, Ji Xu’an thought that Jiang Jiang probably didn’t want others to know what had happened between them.

So today Ji Xu’an just wanted to let Jiang Jiang know her feelings. After Jiang Jiang was willing to accept her, she would prepare a more formal proposal ceremony.

If Jiang Jiang refused to agree to her, it didn’t matter. Ji Xu’an thought that she had enough patience to wait, and if it didn’t work, she could ask Grandma for help.

In fact, Jiang Jiang was right, she was indeed not a good person, and had never given Jiang Jiang a chance to choose. Perhaps her essence was selfish, and the business style of acting according to circumstances had been engraved in her bones.

Jiang Jiang meeting her was probably bad luck.

Jiang Jiang was still silent. Ji Xu’an guessed that she probably didn’t know how to reject her. She didn’t make things difficult for Jiang Jiang for too long, and soon opened her mouth again, “Jiang Jiang, what I want to say is actually just one sentence.”

“You can reject me.”

Ji Xu’an assured her, “Our relationship will not change because of your rejection, and you don’t need to have any psychological burden.”

In order not to let Jiang Jiang alienate herself because of this, Ji Xu’an specially emphasized, “Even if we don’t get married in the end, I will always be your sister.”

“I will still care for you and protect you like I care for Xiaoyuan.”

After hearing these words, Jiang Jiang finally made a move. She reached out and covered the ring box, pressing down hard with her fingers, so that the diamond ring returned to the darkness.

“Give me some time to consider it, can you?” Jiang Jiang asked in a low voice while withdrawing her hand.

The expression on her face seemed very tangled, but she thought in her heart that according to Ji Xu’an’s meaning, she was just taking responsibility for what happened last night.

That’s why Ji Xu’an said that no matter whether she agreed or not, it wouldn’t affect the relationship between the two.

There was only responsibility, no feelings, between them.

Jiang Jiang completely understood why her probing the night before yesterday had no results, because Ji Xu’an really didn’t like her.

If it hadn’t been for the accident last night, which forced Ji Xu’an to take responsibility, how could Ji Xu’an have easily let go?

However, now that I think about it, the reason why Ji Xu’an is willing to take responsibility for me is probably because she is worried that I will mention this matter in front of Old Madam Ji.

If the old lady knew what had happened between them, she would definitely bring up the marriage contract again.

Jiang Jiang should have agreed, after all, this was the result she had always wanted, but Jiang Jiang didn’t forget that the matter of the glass of wine hadn’t been resolved yet.

Ji Xu’an didn’t act now for two reasons: first, she had only woken up recently and hadn’t had time to have people investigate the ins and outs of the matter; second, she could also be considered to have suffered an innocent disaster, so Ji Xu’an couldn’t easily vent her anger on herself for the time being.

But after Ji Xu’an calmed down, she would definitely be able to figure out the strangeness of it.

If she agreed too quickly now, her change in attitude afterwards would definitely become a point of suspicion for Ji Xu’an.

Jiang Jiang never dared to underestimate Ji Xu’an’s suspicion, so she had to continue to be angry for a while.

She steadied her mind and said, “I’ll give you an answer after we go back, to S city okay?”

Ji Xu’an nodded lightly, “Okay.”

This result was already very good. Jiang Jiang didn’t immediately reject me, and said she was willing to consider it. Thinking of this, Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but curl the corners of her lips slightly.

This feeling of being declared innocent and released by the person she liked made Ji Xu’an happier than ever.

Jiang Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t look at Ji Xu’an’s face, which still had a handprint on it, but said awkwardly, “Get up first.”

Looking at Ji Xu’an kneeling in front of her as if surrendering, obediently letting her do as she pleased, Jiang Jiang felt an unspeakable awkwardness in her heart.

It was too strange.

Ji Xu’an didn’t know what Jiang Jiang was thinking. She obediently stood up, putting the hand holding the ring box behind her back.

The hard edges of the box left several deep red marks in Ji Xu’an’s palm, but she didn’t notice it at all, her gaze always falling on Jiang Jiang, the more she looked, the softer her heart became.

Jiang Jiang was really so good.

Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but persuade, “If I make you angry again next time, you don’t have to be so soft-hearted, you can hit me or scold me.”

Jiang Jiang was stunned again. Does Ji Xu’an had some strange fetish?

Who would take the initiative to ask to be beaten?

Ji Xu’an’s gaze flickered for a moment, “Don’t hold your anger in your heart, and don’t be wronged. Whether we get married or not, you are my family.”

Ji Xu’an said the last two words a little difficultly.

“So you can be more presumptuous, don’t be afraid.”

Jiang Jiang was silent.

In order to make her words more convincing, Ji Xu’an added, “Actually, you can call me by my full name too.”

“I also like it very much.”

So there was no need to be so polite and always call her sister, and her attitude towards her could be more casual.

Jiang Jiang was silent for a long time, “I know.”

I don’t understand, but I respect it.

…

When Secretary Zhao called, Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an were sitting on the sofa, one on each side. Jiang Jiang was writing her novel, while Ji Xu’an was applying ice to her face.

Ji Xu’an hadn’t initially planned to address it, but she couldn’t bear to see Jiang Jiang with the handprint on her face. It wouldn’t have bothered her so much if she couldn’t see it, but Ji Xu’an’s constant presence made it impossible for Jiang Jiang to ignore.

She endured and endured, and finally couldn’t help but tell Ji Xu’an to quickly deal with the traces on her face.

Something definitely seemed off with Ji Xu’an. Jiang Jiang was certain her tone had been far from pleasant, yet Ji Xu’an had actually smiled.

A person who used to be so shrewd and cold was now showing an obvious foolishness.

Jiang Jiang really suspected that the glass of wine last night had left some sequelae for Ji Xu’an?

For example, affecting her IQ?

Ji Xu’an was indeed quite happy.

She sensed a shift in the dynamic between herself and Jiang Jiang. While there had been unspoken boundaries before, those restrictions were slowly dissolving.

The most obvious manifestation was that Jiang Jiang was no longer as respectful and afraid of her as before.

Although this was probably because Jiang Jiang was still angry, Ji Xu’an would try to make this state become the norm.

She kept looking at Jiang Jiang, distracting her from her work, until Jiang Jiang finally turned away to avoid her gaze.

Ji Xu’an: So cute, I like her even more.

She cleared her throat and finally withdrew her gaze.

Last night’s kiss seemed to unlock some kind of seal. Ji Xu’an herself also had a feeling that if she had been holding her posture and deliberately restrained her temperament because of her identity before, she didn’t seem to have so many concerns in her heart now.

I hope I didn’t scare Jiang Jiang.

Secretary Zhao made a video call at this time.

Ji Xu’an pointed the phone screen at herself, and Secretary Zhao saw the faint red marks left on Ji Xu’an’s face at a glance.

He was stunned, “President Ji, what happened to you?”

He could even see the faint fingerprints, which didn’t look like an accidental bump.

Ji Xu’an’s face was as usual, “What’s wrong?”

Secretary Zhao was hesitant to bring up the boss’s troubles, but his curiosity got the better of him. “Your face…” he began.

Ji Xu’an: “I hit myself.”

Secretary Zhao:……

Secretary Zhao didn’t believe it.

But who else would dare to hit President Ji, could it be Miss Xie?

Secretary Zhao tried to find Jiang Jiang’s figure on the screen, but only saw Ji Xu’an’s face. He swallowed, “I see, haha.”

He smiled very awkwardly.

Ji Xu’an noticed his actions of secretly glancing to the side.

Before Secretary Zhao could think more, Ji Xu’an interrupted his guess, “It wasn’t Jiang Jiang who did it, I made her unhappy, so I hit myself.”

She seemed to want to say something more, but Jiang Jiang, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted at her, “Ji Xu’an!”

Did she have to let everyone know before she was willing to give up?!

Ji Xu’an immediately closed her mouth, and glared at Secretary Zhao, it was all his fault for being talkative!

Secretary Zhao:……

Okay, it’s all my fault.

So Miss Xie was also there!

Secretary Zhao had an awkward but polite smile on his face, but the shock in his heart was about to break through the sky!

What exactly happened in these short two days that turned his mighty boss into a henpecked wife?

And Miss Xie, Secretary Zhao had always considered her gentle and well-behaved. He was surprised that this Jiang Jiang would directly call Ji Xu’an by her name.

Secretary Zhao really wanted to know!

But Ji Xu’an didn’t reveal more, and Secretary Zhao could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and began to seriously report his work to Ji Xu’an.

At the end, he lowered his voice and hesitated, “There’s one more thing…”

Ji Xu’an didn’t hesitate, “Say it.”

Secretary Zhao blinked, reminding her that Jiang Jiang was still there.

Ji Xu’an hummed, “I know.”

Seeing this, Secretary Zhao no longer hesitated and said directly, “He Xinyao’s side has been dealt with, the evidence is conclusive, and she didn’t insist for long, she has said everything she should say.”

“It’s exactly the same as you guessed before, she really has some relationship with Zheng Zhouzhou.”

“What do you think we should do about this? Also, what about the Second Miss…”

Hearing the names He Xinyao and Zheng Zhouzhou, Jiang Jiang, forgetting that she was still in conflict with Ji Xu’an, secretly perked up her ears to listen carefully to Secretary Zhao’s words.

Seeing this, Ji Xu’an silently turned the volume up to the maximum.

After Secretary Zhao finished speaking, she said, “Tell Zheng Zhouzhou everything He Xinyao confessed.”

“As for Xiaoyuan, let’s keep it from her for now.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jiang bit her lip, looked at Ji Xu’an with a tangled expression while holding her computer, “You don’t let Xiaoyuan know, but you deliberately let me hear, what do you mean by this?”

Ji Xu’an put down her phone, “It doesn’t mean anything.”

“You and Xiaoyuan are different.”

Jiang Jiang moved her lips. She actually wanted to ask, what did you mean by saying that me and Ji Heyuan were different?

The words turned around on her tongue, but in the end, she swallowed them back.

…

They still took a plane back.

Jiang Jiang had already prepared herself mentally and bought some things to prevent motion sickness in advance, so she didn’t get motion sickness this time.

But Ji Xu’an seemed very nervous and kept observing her reaction. As long as Jiang Jiang moved, she couldn’t help but worry, “Is your body feeling uncomfortable?”

She was really so long-winded.

Jiang Jiang suspected that the person in front of her was a fake Ji Xu’an. She had never seen her so talkative before?

Thinking that Ji Xu’an seemed to like this kind of tone, she couldn’t help but reach out and push Ji Xu’an’s face away, “I’m not feeling uncomfortable, stay away from me.”

Ji Xu’an swallowed the rest of her words, “Okay.”

She thought of when they came, Jiang Jiang even took the initiative to let her hug her.

There was no way, it was all her own fault.

When they returned to S City, Secretary Zhao still came to pick them up.

From a distance, he saw Ji Xu’an pushing two small suitcases, looking down and saying something to the girl beside her.

Secretary Zhao quickly greeted them, wanting to take the suitcases, but Ji Xu’an avoided his hand.

“It’s okay, I’ll do it.”

Secretary Zhao paused, “Okay.”

Jiang Jiang nodded to him, and Secretary Zhao returned a smile.

After getting in the car, Jiang Jiang didn’t say much, just covered herself with a blanket and closed her eyes to rest in the back seat.

Secretary Zhao couldn’t help but turn his head slightly, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over Jiang Jiang.

The atmosphere between President Ji and Miss Xie was really strange.

If you said that these two were arguing, it didn’t seem like it. President Ji had just helped Miss Xie fasten her seat belt, and Miss Xie didn’t refuse.

But if you said that these two were very sweet, it didn’t seem to be the case either.

Secretary Zhao was almost dying of curiosity, but looking at Ji Xu’an’s cold face, he didn’t dare to gossip any further, and could only secretly guess the truth of the matter in his heart.

That’s right, Manager Fu also went with them, she must know something!

Secretary Zhao decided to ask Fu Xiaoyin later.

What was Fu Xiaoyin doing at this time?

Those few glasses of wine made her sleep until noon. She had just woken up when she was told an unfortunate message.

“President Ji said that she hopes you can honestly admit your mistake. Otherwise, you can only confess to the police.”

Fu Xiaoyin only felt dizzy. The admission of mistake that Ji Xu’an mentioned was definitely not as simple as apologizing to her.

As long as Fu Xiaoyin thought of the criticism she might receive from all her family members next, and the strict discipline and constraints from her parents, and that she could no longer be as happy and carefree as before, she couldn’t help but howl.

She swallowed and asked unwillingly, “Did Ji Xu’an say what the deadline is?”

The person showed a smile, “President Ji also explained this question. She told me to tell you, ‘What do you think?'”

Fu Xiaoyin:……

Okay, okay, I’ll go see Jiang Jiang now and ask her to put in a good word for me. Is it too late?

…

After returning to S City, Ji Xu’an went to the company, while Jiang Jiang returned to Starlight Bay.

After not seeing her for two days, Little Bun was particularly clingy to her, following her wherever she went. Jiang Jiang hugged it tightly and took a deep breath, then sat on the balcony and slowly replied to the messages on her phone.

The others weren’t important, only Old Madam Ji’s made Jiang Jiang a little embarrassed.

Should I tell Grandma about this?

At the same time, Ji Xu’an was also thinking about this question.

But she didn’t hesitate for long. After thinking about it simply, Ji Xu’an called Old Madam Ji.

She mentioned what happened last night in a concise manner, and then, when Old Madam Ji asked her what she planned to do, she replied without hesitation:

“I want to marry Jiang Jiang.”

Old Madam Ji snorted coldly, “You’re thinking too beautifully. Xu’an, you’re not someone who doesn’t know the limits, how can you force Jiang Jiang?”

Ji Xu’an rubbed her eyebrows, “I was wrong about this, and I have apologized to Jiang Jiang.”

As for the fact that there was a problem with the glass of wine, Ji Xu’an didn’t tell Old Madam Ji.

In the end, the wine only played an auxiliary role. If she didn’t have such thoughts in her heart, it would have been impossible to take action.

But this didn’t mean that Ji Xu’an could easily let Fu Xiaoyin go.

“Does apologizing make up for the grievances Jiang Jiang has suffered?”

The old lady criticized Ji Xu’an severely.

Ji Xu’an listened silently. After Old Madam Ji finished speaking, she said softly, “I know it’s all my fault, but things have already happened, Grandma, I can only try my best to make up for it.”

She didn’t have the ability to reverse time, and could only minimize the impact of this matter on her and Jiang Jiang to the greatest extent.

Old Madam Ji was silent for a moment, “Then what do you want me to do, help you persuade Jiang Jiang to agree to your proposal?”

“No,” Ji Xu’an said, “I want to ask you to scold me in front of Jiang Jiang again.”

“Jiang Jiang is very insecure, and your support is very important to her.”

Hearing this, Old Madam Ji’s face finally improved, “You still have some conscience.”

The old lady didn’t hold back at all when scolding her own granddaughter.

Ji Xu’an wasn’t annoyed. After all, what the old lady said was the truth. As soon as she heard this, she knew that the old lady had agreed, and couldn’t help but sincerely say, “Grandma, thank you.”

“Alright, I’ll help you.” Old Madam Ji sighed, “But Xu’an, matters of the heart still depend on yourself, and you should also change your temper.”

“You have to learn to respect Jiang Jiang, and not treat her as an object that can be manipulated at will. She is a living person.”

“Also, it’s okay to be indifferent in front of outsiders, but Jiang Jiang is the person you like. It’s not shameful to lower your posture in front of the person you like.”

“If you don’t risk your face, how can you chase after your wife?”

Ji Xu’an turned her head to look at the street scene receding outside the window. She leaned back in her chair and said in a very light voice, “I know.”

She would try her best to let Jiang Jiang see her change!
