When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 73

Ji Heyuan was ostensibly playing with her phone, but in reality, she was secretly observing the two of them out of the corner of her eye.

Seriously, is the atmosphere between sister and Xie Jiang Jiang usually this clingy?

Ji Heyuan really wanted to complain. Since their relationship was already so good, why was Ji Xu’an still suspecting me?

Sure enough, she was just asking for trouble. She shouldn’t have deliberately provoked her sister in order to be a wingman.

When Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang came over, Ji Heyuan quickly lowered her head again, pretending to be seriously replying to messages.

Ever since she guessed that Ji Xu’an was likely suspecting her relationship with Ji Heyuan, Jiang Jiang also deliberately avoided making eye contact with Ji Heyuan.

Without Ji Heyuan in the middle to liven up the atmosphere, the dinner table was quiet for a while. Jiang Jiang had no choice but to pretend to be looking at her phone. Coincidentally, a notice was sent out in the club group, asking all members to go to the club office to find the vice president today.

Jiang Jiang told Ji Xu’an about this message.

“I might be a little late to go to the company. Can Sister help me tell Uncle Liu?”

“Okay.” Ji Xu’an nodded.

As she spoke, her body unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Jiang, and their shoulders were almost touching.

Ji Heyuan sat opposite the two of them, feeling more and more like she was an extra light bulb.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have come out to eat with these two. Wouldn’t it have been better for me to go back to school alone?

Jiang Jiang didn’t notice Ji Heyuan’s restlessness, because she was even more nervous than Ji Heyuan now.

Ji Xu’an was really too close, and she also put her arm on the back of Jiang Jiang’s chair, as if she was holding Jiang Jiang in her arms. As long as Jiang Jiang breathed, she could smell the faint perfume on Ji Xu’an’s body.

Ji Xu’an hadn’t done this before, but Jiang Jiang never felt flustered at that time, because she knew that Ji Xu’an wouldn’t really do anything to her, but now it wasn’t certain.

Now Ji Xu’an seemed enlightened, becoming strange.

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes uncomfortably, holding her phone but not knowing what to do, so she opened the comment section of the her book.

She really liked reading the messages from the little angels, wishing she could read them eight hundred times a day.

However, besides discussing the plot, the most common thing was urging her to update more. Jiang Jiang also wanted to update more, but unfortunately her hand speed couldn’t keep up, so she could only guiltily reply, “I will definitely work hard!”.

She didn’t deliberately avoid Ji Xu’an when she was looking at her phone. Ji Xu’an only needed to lower her head slightly to see the interface of Jiang Jiang’s phone clearly.

She scanned it twice, and then picked up her phone and did something unknown.

After a while, Jiang Jiang suddenly found that there was a new comment in her comments section.

It was Eucalyptus who had given her a deep-sea torpedo again.

Jiang Jiang suddenly looked up at Ji Xu’an, “Sister, why are you again…”

Ji Heyuan was still sitting opposite, and Jiang Jiang was inexplicably embarrassed, so she could only shake her phone at Ji Xu’an.

“What’s wrong with me?” Ji Xu’an asked knowingly.

Jiang Jiang had only recently learned that as long as she received enough rewards, she could have a good exposure position, so the collection of her new book had grown so fast.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang’s mood couldn’t help but become a little complicated. She thought that her writing was good enough to attract so many little readers, but she didn’t expect that Ji Xu’an had helped.

“You don’t have to anymore…” Jiang Jiang said, her voice even softer, “Don’t give me rewards anymore.”

That way she wouldn’t owe Ji Xu’an even more.

Ji Xu’an looked at Jiang Jiang intently, and also learned from Jiang Jiang to lower her voice, “Is it my reward that is causing you discomfort?”

Jiang Jiang shook her head, “That’s not what I mean.”

She didn’t know how to explain it to Ji Xu’an. Jiang Jiang was very clear that once her true thoughts were known by Ji Xu’an, Ji Xu’an would definitely be unhappy.

In the end, she could only vaguely say, “It’s too much, won’t others misunderstand?”

“But I see a lot of people doing this.” As she spoke, Ji Xu’an specially picked up her phone, opened the novel app, and placed a novel by someone else in front of Jiang Jiang to prove that she wasn’t talking nonsense.

Jiang Jiang was speechless.

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Ji Xu’an asked again, “Or is it just because this person is me, so you’re unhappy?”

This topic was too dangerous, and Jiang Jiang even noticed that when Ji Xu’an said this, she glanced at Ji Heyuan intentionally or unintentionally.

She then remembered that Ji Heyuan had also thrown a deep-sea torpedo at her before, but at that time she just said thank you and didn’t stop Ji Heyuan.

Could it be that Ji Xu’an remembered this and deliberately said these words in front of me?

Jiang Jiang tried hard to suppress this absurd thought. Ji Xu’an shouldn’t be such a childish person.

But in this way, she had no way to stop Ji Xu’an anymore, otherwise Ji Xu’an would probably suspect that there was something between her and Ji Heyuan again.

Jiang Jiang scanned Ji Heyuan without showing any signs. The other party was playing with her phone with her legs crossed, and had no idea that she was just hovering on the edge of danger.

Jiang Jiang came back to her senses, “I’m not unhappy, I’m very happy that Sister is willing to support me.”

She was afraid that Ji Xu’an wouldn’t believe her, so she specially reached out and gently tugged on the clothes around Ji Xu’an’s waist, asking Ji Xu’an to lean over a little more.

After Ji Xu’an got closer, Jiang Jiang said softly, “Thank you, Sister.”

This kind of closeness and ambiguity in a low voice just appeased Ji Xu’an’s restless heart.

Clearly Jiang Jiang’s attitude was more gentle and ingratiating, but a certain invisible rope was tightly wrapped around Ji Xu’an’s neck.

Ji Xu’an fell silent in an instant. Jiang Jiang didn’t hear her answer, and curiously glanced over, but only saw Ji Xu’an’s slightly lowered eyebrows.

Jiang Jiang blinked, and was about to retract her gaze, but her gaze suddenly stopped.

She saw it. Under the cover of broken hair, Ji Xu’an’s small earlobe was gradually being dyed red.

And under her gaze, this red halo had a tendency to gradually move upwards.

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but look at it again and again.

Ji Xu’an didn’t need to guess to know what Jiang Jiang was looking at.

Her eyes were slightly unnatural, but Ji Xu’an didn’t avoid Jiang Jiang’s gaze, nor did she change the subject. She maintained her posture, letting Jiang Jiang look at her.

Over time, even Ji Heyuan felt this unusual atmosphere.

Although she didn’t know what Jiang Jiang was looking at, inexplicably, Ji Heyuan knew that she was an extra again.

Jiang Jiang had just never seen Ji Xu’an shy, so she couldn’t help but look at her for a while, but after she reacted, she was also a little embarrassed.

Especially when she found that Ji Xu’an had been looking at her, and the place where her gaze stayed wasn’t her eyebrows, but a lower position, Jiang Jiang’s cheeks became even hotter.

Ji Xu’an wouldn’t really be so bold as to kiss me in front of outsiders, would she?!

Was she crazy??

Jiang Jiang quickly turned her head to avoid Ji Xu’an’s gaze.

In her panic, even Jiang Jiang herself didn’t realize that what she was rejecting at this time wasn’t the fact that Ji Xu’an wanted to kiss her, but that the time and place were not right.

Fortunately, Ji Xu’an wasn’t so crazy. After Jiang Jiang avoided her, she also restrained herself and retracted her gaze.

But afterwards, that heart-pounding atmosphere had been lingering around the two of them, lingering for a long time.

The children’s meal this time came with a small toy, which Jiang Jiang also liked very much. After playing for a while, she carefully put it in her schoolbag.

Ji Xu’an watched silently from the side, and a look of contemplation gradually appeared in her eyes.

After eating breakfast, Ji Xu’an sent the two to school, and then drove to the company herself.

Halfway through the drive, Ji Xu’an stopped at an intersection waiting for the traffic light, and the window of the car next to her suddenly rolled down.

Ji Xu’an subconsciously turned her head and glanced, but unexpectedly met the other person’s interested gaze.

At that glance, a sense of familiarity suddenly rose in Ji Xu’an’s heart. Her intuition told her that she must have seen this girl somewhere.

But Ji Xu’an searched through her memories and couldn’t find this person’s figure.

If it had been before, perhaps Ji Xu’an wouldn’t have thought much about it, but she had just heard Zheng Zhouzhou say a lot about “destiny” yesterday, and now, thinking carefully about this sense of familiarity, Ji Xu’an’s eyes couldn’t help but darken.

In the car next door, Jiang Chenyun hooked her lips and raised her hand to greet Ji Xu’an.

Last night, she had originally wanted to do something, but in the end, she was coaxed by He Qiuwan until she was dizzy, and in a hurry, she forgot about it.

Seeing Ji Xu’an at this time, Jiang Chenyun remembered her plan again.

She knew that Ji Xu’an didn’t know her now, and with Ji Xu’an’s personality, her attitude towards her probably wouldn’t be too good, but Jiang Chenyun still underestimated Ji Xu’an’s indifference.

After Ji Xu’an coldly glanced at her for two seconds, she rolled up the car window.

Jiang Chenyun: …

Okay, okay, okay.

The red light quickly turned green, Ji Xu’an stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly drove out of the intersection.

All the way to the company downstairs, she was still thinking about this matter, her expression more serious than usual.

The people she met along the way didn’t dare to breathe loudly, for fear of making the boss unhappy.

After arriving at the office, Ji Xu’an thought for a moment and called Secretary Zhao in.

“Is there any news from Qu Jingran’s side?”

Secretary Zhao shook his head, “Not yet, Officer Qu didn’t say anything.”

“Hmm.” Ji Xu’an leaned back on her office chair, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table. She was silent for a while.

“Go help me investigate someone.”

Just after starting the car, Ji Xu’an saw the license plate number of the car next to her through the rearview mirror. She asked Secretary Zhao to investigate who the owner of this car was.

Secretary Zhao was already used to the inexplicable tasks given by the boss, and readily agreed to this matter.

After explaining what needed to be explained, Ji Xu’an waved her hand to let Secretary Zhao go out first.

Thinking of these things that had happened recently, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples, looking blankly at the documents on her desk, motionless for a long time,  lost in thought.

…

Here, Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan walked into the school gate side by side.

Ji Heyuan deliberately kept an arm’s length away from Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang just casually turned her head and glanced at her, and Ji Heyuan immediately took a big step back, “What are you doing?”

Jiang Jiang smiled at her, “Why are you standing so far away?”

Ji Heyuan rubbed her arms, always feeling a chill down her back, “No, let’s keep a little distance, otherwise it’s easy to be misunderstood.”

Jiang Jiang: “Oh?”

“The person you’re talking about, would it be Ji Xu’an?”

Ji Heyuan didn’t know whether she should be surprised that Jiang Jiang would actually call her sister’s name directly, or be shocked that Jiang Jiang actually knew why she wanted to avoid suspicion.

Without waiting for her to deny it, Jiang Jiang asked again, “Did Sister say something to you last night?”

Ji Heyuan really couldn’t act. Before she had time to think of an excuse, Jiang Jiang had already seen through her disguise.

In the end, Ji Heyuan had no choice but to admit it with her shoulders drooping.

“My sister said some very crazy things last night, if you heard them, you would definitely be shocked.”

In fact, even if she didn’t say it, Jiang Jiang could probably guess what Ji Xu’an had said.

But on the surface, Jiang Jiang didn’t show any understanding.

“What did Sister say?”

Ji Heyuan thought she really didn’t know anything, “Anyway, it’s some very outrageous words, you better not listen to them.”

The more she said this, the more Jiang Jiang could be sure of her guess.

She stopped embarrassing Ji Heyuan and changed the subject in a timely manner, “Did Sister mention Miss Zheng to you?”

Speaking of this, the guilt on Ji Heyuan’s face immediately turned into anger.

“Don’t mention it!” Ji Heyuan rolled her eyes, “I didn’t expect Zheng Zhouzhou to stab me in the back!”

“So much of my pocket money, all went down the drain!”

Her sister also invested in Zheng Zhouzhou’s drama, so the drama might still be finished, at most just change the female lead.

But unfortunately, Ji Heyuan’s pocket money was given directly to Zheng Zhouzhou, and Zheng Zhouzhou definitely wouldn’t return it to her.

Jiang Jiang asked this question just to know Ji Heyuan’s attitude towards Zheng Zhouzhou. Now she had gotten the answer she wanted from Ji Heyuan’s reply.

“Xiaoyuan.” Jiang Jiang looked at her meaningfully, “If Miss Zheng came to apologize to you now, would you forgive her?”

“No.” Ji Heyuan replied without hesitation.

“Didn’t I tell you last time? Arkle and our family are mortal enemies, and Zheng Zhouzhou chose to join forces with Arkle to deal with my sister.”

“No matter what she says to me afterwards, I won’t forgive her again.”

Jiang Jiang saw firmness and persistence in Ji Heyuan’s eyes. As Ji Heyuan said these words, Jiang Jiang could clearly feel that some kind of invisible restriction seemed to be broken.

It was a feeling that was difficult to describe in words, it could only be understood, not expressed.

Jiang Jiang looked up at the sky, only feeling that for a moment, even the sky had darkened.

Ji Heyuan closed her mouth after saying these few words.

It wasn’t that she no longer felt dissatisfied with Zheng Zhouzhou, on the contrary, it was precisely because there was too much dissatisfaction that Ji Heyuan lost the interest in talking about this person.

Anyway, from now on, Zheng Zhouzhou had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Jiang Jiang looking up at the sky all the time, Ji Heyuan also curiously glanced at it, “What are you looking at?”

Jiang Jiang shook her head, “Nothing.”

She was just thinking, now the relationship between Ji Heyuan and Zheng Zhouzhou should have been completely severed, right?

At the same time, Ji Xu’an suddenly received good news from Qu Jingran.

“The people from the relevant departments have already taken Zheng Zhouzhou away.”

When Qu Jingran said this, her tone had a feeling of finally breathing a sigh of relief, “You were right, there really is something strange about her.”

“Several of our colleagues were guarding her together, but she still managed to escape.”

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t know where she got the news from, knowing that the relevant departments had arranged people to monitor her, she actually attempted to go to M Country with Arkle.

“Arkle’s people are really difficult to deal with, but fortunately, we finally managed to stop them at the airport.”

Qu Jingran described to Ji Xu’an, “How should I put it? It really has a dramatic feeling.”

“Before, we couldn’t catch up with her no matter how hard we tried, but at the last critical moment, she seemed to have suddenly lost her protection, and was easily taken away by our people.”

After this incident, Qu Jingran didn’t dare to underestimate Zheng Zhouzhou anymore, “It seems that heaven is really helping her, but fortunately, heaven finally figured it out, knowing that it can’t let her go.”

Ji Xu’an thought of Ji Heyuan and Jiang Jiang at this time.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately sent a message to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang was in class when she saw this message.

Ji Xu’an suddenly asked her if everything was going smoothly at school, and if anything had happened.

Jiang Jiang had a premonition that the reason why Ji Xu’an asked her this must be related to Zheng Zhouzhou.

As she was thinking, another new message suddenly popped up on her phone.

It was sent to her by old Liu.

[Uncle Liu: Miss Xie, have you gotten the news?]

[Uncle Liu: A friend guarding the hospital told me that Liang Junsheng committed suicide and didn’t make it.]

Jiang Jiang’s expression froze.

She knew that Liang Junsheng would die sooner or later, but this timing was too coincidental.

What exactly happened on Zheng Zhouzhou’s side?!
