When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 67

What Ji Xu’an was thinking, Jiang Jiang didn’t know. Anyway, when signing the agreement, Ji Xu’an’s face didn’t show any unwillingness, and was even quite active.

This reminded Jiang Jiang of when they first met, Ji Xu’an had repeatedly warned her not to try to plot for the Ji family’s property.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it was Ji Xu’an who took the initiative to transfer all the things under her name to Jiang Jiang.

The Ji Xu’an at that time probably couldn’t have imagined that there would be such a day.

Jiang Jiang’s mood was slightly complicated, but Old Madam Ji obviously also supported Ji Xu’an’s decision. In the end, Jiang Jiang didn’t raise any objections, and wrote her name on the agreement in front of everyone.

The agreement was made in duplicate, with Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an each holding one copy.

Watching Ji Xu’an carefully put one of the agreements into her bag, Jiang Jiang also silently put away the other one.

Old Madam Ji looked at the two with a happy smile, “Xu’an, remember to notify Xiaoyuan, let’s have a meal together as a family tonight.”

“Okay.” Ji Xu’an responded.

The corners of her lips that were raised never fell, and her gaze lingered on Jiang Jiang for a long time, with some kind of eagerness and expectation hidden deep in her eyes.

Even if Jiang Jiang didn’t look at Ji Xu’an, she could feel her good mood at this moment.

She didn’t know why, but her cheeks felt like they had been roasted by hot air, and a brilliant blush climbed up her neck.

Old Madam Ji watched this scene, but smiled without saying a word.

Everyone was smiling, so Jiang Jiang also slightly curved the corners of her lips. She looked up at the warm sunlight overhead, and a kind of inexplicable emotion was fermenting in her heart.

Property transfer was a troublesome matter, and there was no rush. After putting away the agreement, the three discussed the engagement banquet.

Ji Xu’an meant to hold a grand event, and it would be best to invite everyone she knew, but in this way, the preparation time would become longer.

Old Madam Ji didn’t care about this matter, and let Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an discuss it. Jiang Jiang had no objections, and said that she would listen to Ji Xu’an in everything.

So in the end, the time for the engagement banquet was set before the end of the year, around mid-December.

Jiang Jiang thought that that time point was the time when Old Madam Ji passed away in the original book, and perhaps she could use this matter to bring good luck and let Grandma safely pass this tribulation.

Ji Xu’an didn’t know Jiang Jiang’s plan, but seeing Jiang Jiang nod in agreement, her mood became even more eager.

If Secretary Zhao hadn’t called Ji Xu’an again, Ji Xu’an really wouldn’t have remembered the others for a while.

“I’ll go take a call first.” Ji Xu’an picked up her phone and excuse herself.

Old Madam Ji and Jiang Jiang were both sitting aside, but Ji Xu’an only looked at Jiang Jiang when she spoke. Jiang Jiang felt a little awkward for some reason, especially when she saw the old lady looking at her with a teasing gaze, the blush on Jiang Jiang’s face became even more intense.

Clearly, there was nothing ambiguous in Ji Xu’an’s words, but her attitude itself gave people a very ambiguous feeling, as if she and Jiang Jiang were closer than the two of them.

Old Madam Ji knew that she was thin-skinned, so she didn’t say anything more, and instead asked about Jiang Jiang’s affairs at school.

On the other side, Ji Xu’an answered the phone, and on the other end of the receiver, Secretary Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

“They’re finally gone,” Secretary Zhao said, wiping his brow. “But before leaving, Arkle’s bodyguard said something to him; he looked pretty upset.”

Secretary Zhao paused and said in a low voice, “I suspect that what he said is related to Miss Xie.”

He repeated Arkle’s words before leaving to Ji Xu’an.

The smile on Ji Xu’an’s face faded, she pondered for a moment, “You go to the relevant person in charge of S University and ask for the surveillance records for noon today.”

Although Jiang Jiang said that the person Arkle sent only followed her for a while and didn’t cause her any harm, Ji Xu’an suspected that the other party did far more than that.

Jiang Jiang was probably intentionally concealing this matter because she didn’t want me to worry.

For some reason, Ji Xu’an suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. She rubbed her brow and instructed Secretary Zhao in a low voice, “Don’t let Jiang Jiang know about this for now.”

“Okay.” Secretary Zhao responded.

After talking about this matter, Ji Xu’an changed the subject, “By the way, have someone help me find a wedding planning company, one with a good reputation.”

Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, half surprised and half tentatively asked, “Are you and Miss Xie getting married soon?”

A smile gathered on Ji Xu’an’s face again, her tone was still as calm as ever, but Secretary Zhao felt that he heard a bit of showing off and smugness.

“Yes, we’re holding an engagement banquet before the end of the year.”

Single dog Secretary Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth. He was so busy with work every day that he had no time to fall in love, and was still a single dog, but his boss was getting engaged.

Ji Xu’an didn’t care how sad Secretary Zhao was, and continued to instruct, “I want to propose first, you help me contact a wedding planning company as soon as possible, and it’s best to come up with a suitable plan before the end of this month.”

Secretary Zhao felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier again. He was like an emotionless tool, “Okay, President Ji, don’t worry, I will arrange it as soon as possible.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xu’an took a deep breath, calmed down, and then turned around to go back to find Jiang Jiang.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang Jiang standing not far away, her almond eyes curved, quietly looking at her.

Ji Xu’an panicked for a moment. She didn’t know when Jiang Jiang had come, and she was even less sure how much Jiang Jiang had heard.

Feeling guilty, Ji Xu’an restrained the smile on her face, and her expression seemed a little serious.

Jiang Jiang mistakenly thought that Ji Xu’an’s series of reactions were because of displeasure. After all, Ji Xu’an’s smile disappeared as soon as she saw her, and anyone would misunderstand.

Jiang Jiang thought that Ji Xu’an was originally a person with a particularly strong sense of defense, and it was too normal for her to be unhappy because she was eavesdropping.

However, Jiang Jiang had really just arrived and hadn’t heard much. She only vaguely heard the last sentence Ji Xu’an said, which seemed to be telling the person on the other end to come up with a suitable solution.

This was obviously a work-related matter, and Jiang Jiang didn’t care too much about Ji Xu’an’s words, and quickly put it behind her.

Ji Xu’an hadn’t spoken, and Jiang Jiang became more and more certain that she was in a bad mood. She pursed her lips and took the lead in breaking the silence.

“Sister, Grandma said she’s a little tired and wants to take a nap.”

She was explaining why she had appeared here.

When Ji Xu’an was silent, she was actually carefully observing Jiang Jiang’s reaction.

After confirming again and again, she never saw any surprise or expectation in Jiang Jiang’s eyes.

It seemed that Jiang Jiang hadn’t heard her say the words “propose”.

Ji Xu’an breathed a silent sigh of relief, and the corners of her lips raised slightly again, “Well, then let’s not disturb her.”

The relationship between the two had just changed, and although Ji Xu’an said she wanted to be in a relationship with Jiang Jiang, she didn’t really know how to get along with Jiang Jiang.

But instinctively, Ji Xu’an didn’t want to separate from Jiang Jiang so early. Even if she didn’t do anything, she wanted to stay with Jiang Jiang for a while longer.

So Ji Xu’an suggested, “The weather is nice today, do you want to take a walk by the lake?”

It was hard to imagine that these were the words Ji Xu’an would say. After all, she was usually so busy that she couldn’t even see her shadow, and even just now she was still on the phone talking about work, but at this time she had the leisure to invite Jiang Jiang to take a walk.

Jiang Jiang guessed, did Ji Xu’an have something to say to me?

Could it be something related to Zheng Zhouzhou?

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang didn’t reject Ji Xu’an.

The two walked forward along the main road, and after crossing a stone path in the middle of the lawn, they finally reached a small road built around the lake.

During this time, Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang didn’t speak. The two walked side by side, with a fist’s distance between their shoulders.

Ji Xu’an vaguely felt that something was wrong. Was this how other people’s relationships were?

Or was it because of the things that had happened before that Jiang Jiang wasn’t used to the change in our relationship?

Ji Xu’an lowered her eyelashes and secretly glanced at Jiang Jiang’s left hand hanging by her side, and then shrank her fingertips slightly unnaturally.

She wanted to hold Jiang Jiang’s hand.

But we had only just started dating, and it hadn’t even been half an hour since we signed the agreement.

Am I being too rash to want to hold hands so quickly?

Ji Xu’an turned her head, pretending to look at the reflection of the trees on the lake, her face bathed in the sunlight, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Jiang Jiang didn’t notice Ji Xu’an’s little thoughts. She was thinking about how to open the topic.

In the end, Jiang Jiang decided to get straight to the point.

“Sister.”

Ji Xu’an was still thinking about how to reasonably hold Jiang Jiang’s hand when Jiang Jiang’s soft call suddenly rang in her ear.

The thoughts that had drifted away in her mind were suddenly interrupted, and Ji Xu’an was stunned. Her gaze swayed around in a panic, and finally stopped on a willow tree in the distance, leaving Jiang Jiang with a calm profile.

“Cough… what’s wrong?”

Could it be that I had been too obvious just now and was discovered by Jiang Jiang?

Seeing that Ji Xu’an wasn’t even willing to look at her, Jiang Jiang’s mood was particularly complicated for a while.

When they were in the room, Ji Xu’an’s mood was clearly still happy. Just because she had “eavesdropped” on her phone call, she was on guard against her again?

Jiang Jiang’s eyelashes drooped, and she didn’t look at Ji Xu’an’s face, “What are you planning to do with He Xinyao?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t expect that what she wanted to talk to her about was this matter. A kind of indescribable loss flashed through her heart, and those romantic thoughts also faded away.

“He Xinyao’s family has been begging for mercy for her, but I think she should pay the price for what she did.”

Ji Xu’an’s tone wasn’t intense when she said this. She had seen too many unfair things, and everyone had their own suffering and troubles. Ji Xu’an could understand other people’s pain, but what she cared about most was herself and her family.

The most fundamental reason she wanted He Xinyao to be punished was because He Xinyao had tried to harm Jiang Jiang.

But she hadn’t succeeded after all, and with just that reason, it wasn’t enough for He Xinyao to receive much punishment.

Ji Xu’an knew that Jiang Jiang wanted to seek justice for the dead girl, otherwise she wouldn’t have specifically asked Old Liu to investigate this matter.

“I had people contact their former classmates, and several people said they were willing to come forward to testify, even if He Xinyao wanted to deny it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief, “Thank you, Sister.”

She knew that she didn’t have enough power to complete this matter, so she could only rely on Ji Xu’an.

“Thank me for what?” Ji Xu’an didn’t like hearing her say thank you, “This is what I should do anyway.”

Jiang Jiang raised her eyes and realized that Ji Xu’an’s gaze had fallen on her at some point. She stared at Ji Xu’an’s eyes for a long time, the emotions in those black eyes were hidden extremely deep, and no matter how Jiang Jiang explored, she could only see the most superficial calmness and composure.

Ji Xu’an’s tone was too matter-of-fact when she said this, giving Jiang Jiang the illusion that as long as it was something she wanted to do, Ji Xu’an would complete it for her.

But Ji Xu’an’s emotions were always fickle, and whether she was happy or not was only a matter of a thought, and Jiang Jiang didn’t dare to be too confident.

She felt that she had never seen through Ji Xu’an.

There seemed to be something between the two of them. Ji Xu’an couldn’t completely trust Jiang Jiang, and Jiang Jiang couldn’t completely entrust her trust.

She wanted to reveal her identity to Ji Xu’an, but after hesitating for a few breaths, Jiang Jiang gave up.

She would wait until Ji Xu’an had met Zheng Zhouzhou before saying anything.

Time passed quietly in the two’s eye contact. Ji Xu’an didn’t even realize how long it had been. Later, when she repeatedly recalled the scene at that time, she felt that Jiang Jiang actually wanted to say something to her, but in the end, Jiang Jiang changed her mind and didn’t say anything.

But Ji Xu’an didn’t ask at the time, and Jiang Jiang didn’t give her a chance to ask later.

After sending Jiang Jiang back to school, Ji Xu’an rushed to the company again.

She could have left work early that afternoon, but near the end of work, Ji Xu’an suddenly received a call from Arkle again.

“Ji Xu’an.” In the phone, Arkle’s voice had a strange excitement, “You stood me up during the day, you can’t not come again tonight, right?”

Ji Xu’an looked down at her watch, “Still the private restaurant at noon, be there at seven o’clock sharp.”

After Ji Xu’an finished speaking, she wanted to hang up the phone. She had to tell Jiang Jiang that she might be back a little later today.

Ji Xu’an had specifically gone online to learn that an excellent partner should know how to actively report their itinerary.

Arkle laughed, “Alright.”

“Ji Xu’an, you will definitely be very interested in what I have to say.”

“It’s related to your little fiancée.”
