Chapter 13 Awkward Feeling
Ji Tingyang has never heard the story of his parents. When he was young, he couldn't understand what Lin Xu said. Later, when he grew up, they also passed away.
Now that Lin Xu mentioned it, I suddenly became curious.
“You left with him just because your abs were exposed?” Ji Tingyang felt that she was too superficial.
“No!” Lin Xu retorted, then smiled shyly, “Of course there is your father’s money offensive.”
He always likes to give her gifts, ranging from flowers and hairpins to jewelry and necklaces, every time they meet.
So much so that she often wondered whether this man was deliberately using this method to raise her horizons so that she could look down on other suitors.
Ji Tingyang thought he would hear all the thoughtful reasons why she chose her father, but it turned out that it was just because of money?
He didn’t take it seriously. This was superficial.
"These are all based on my experience. You must be right if you listen to me!" Lin Xu looked confident, and then started her talk, "One time your dad..."
Ji Tingyang had doubts in his heart, but still listened to her quietly, laughing from time to time that Lin Xu was so stupid that he was fooled by his father's little trick.
Time passed gradually, and Ji Tingyang didn't even notice. He didn't look at his phone at all during this period.
I am no longer irritated and angry because of the friend who was blocked, and I even forgot about Wenli.
The butlers and servants around him breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that today Mr. Ji no longer had to get angry and deduct their bonuses.
Miss Lin is really their savior!
It was already evening when Wen Li returned to Ji's villa.
She had been feeling uneasy before coming back, and she blocked Ji Tingyang’s WeChat account.
Based on her experience, he would definitely lose his temper with her and maybe lock her up again.
Wen Li opened the door with this fearful thought in mind. She expected to see Ji Tingyang waiting at the door as soon as she entered, waiting for her to come back, but there was no one at the entrance.
Only from the living room further inside, a couple of laughs could be heard from time to time.
Wen Li walked over in confusion and saw Ji Tingyang and Lin Xu disappearing in the living room.
There was a mountain of clothes piled on the sofa, and the table was filled with jewelry boxes of various sizes.
Lin Xu was holding a piece of clothing in his hand and gesticulating on his body, and was struggling to ask Ji Tingyang's opinion, "Does it look good?"
Ji Tingyang did not hesitate: "It looks good!"
He received a call from the manager of a high-end clothing store in the afternoon, saying that the latest season's clothes had just arrived and asked if he would like to send some to the villa.
In the past, these clothes were bought for Wen Li, but she had never used them. Later, he gradually stopped mentioning them.
While Ji Tingyang was hesitating, Lin Xu, who heard the phone call next to him, was particularly excited.
Without saying anything, I asked the store manager to send me clothes and some jewelry from the store.
As soon as the store manager saw that the business was done, he acted very quickly and delivered all the clothes and jewelry in less than an hour.
Then Lin Xu spent the whole afternoon drawing clothes in the living room, asking Ji Tingyang about each piece.
At first, Ji Tingyang would give his opinions seriously, but as Lin Xu spent more and more time fiddling with his clothes, he began to get tired.
In the end, no matter what Lin Xu asked, he always said it looked good.
Even if it doesn’t look good, he can definitely afford to leave it here.
The two were messing around with their clothes, completely unaware that Wen Li had returned. It was the housekeeper on the side who noticed her first.
"Miss Wen, are you back?"
Wen Li nodded in response and looked towards the sofa. Ji Tingyang had already seen her.
Facing his dark and deep eyes, her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and the air seemed to become quiet.
Is he getting angry?
Wen Li clenched her hands in fear. "Tingyang, do you think this necklace looks good?" Lin Xu's voice suddenly sounded.
Ji Tingyang turned around when he heard the sound, smiled lightly at her, and said something nice.
Angry? Question her about the blacklist? Ban her from going out?
None of these.
Ji Tingyang just glanced at her briefly and then looked away.
Wen Li was stunned. All the mental preparations she had just established were of no use.
I was a little overwhelmed for a moment and stood there blankly.
If Ji Tingyang had ignored her normally, she would have been happier and had two bowls of rice.
In a daze, Wen Li saw the necklace in Lin Xu's hand, and her pupils shrank in shock.
That was the sapphire necklace she saw in the city center today and had been thinking about for a long time!
The expensive price put her off, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Xu easily obtained it. She tried it on and found that she was not very satisfied, so she threw it back into the jewelry box on the table.
Wen Li looked at the necklace and bit her lip.
In the past, these things were given to her by Ji Tingyang, which she had always disdained, but now they were given to Lin Xu.
There was an awkward feeling that something that originally belonged to her was suddenly picked up by someone else.
"I...I'm a little uncomfortable. I'm going back to my room first." Wen Li spoke, trying to regain Ji Tingyang's attention.
The sound was not loud, but none of them spoke at this time, so everyone heard it.
Ji Tingyang stood up, walked towards Wen Li, stretched out his hand to feel the temperature on her forehead: "What's wrong with you?"
Wen Li didn't dare to look at him, her heartbeat was inexplicably fast, "It's just that... my head is a little bit... It hurts."
Lin Xu thought about the weather outside today, "Is it too windy today to make my head feel cold and hurt? "
Ji Tingyang? He also had this intention. He took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, when Wen Li reached out and stopped him.
“No, no need! I’ll just go back to the room and take a nap.”
Lin Xu: "Oh, then go back to bed quickly."
"..." Wen Li did not move, and raised his eyes to look at Ji Tingyang hesitantly.
Ji Tingyang didn't know whether he understood the meaning in her eyes, so he took the initiative: "I will take you back to your room."
Wen Li said yes and followed immediately.
Before going upstairs, she glanced towards the living room. Lin Xu didn't mind at all that she called Ji Tingyang away and was happily packing the clothes and jewelry on the sofa.
There were so many things that Lin Xu couldn't pack them all by herself, so she even called the nanny to help her put them in the cloakroom.
Working until late, Lin Xu was so tired that he drank all the water in the cup in one breath. It was not enough, so he went downstairs to get the water with the cup in hand.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the brightly lit study, and I thought to myself, no, do you have to work overtime so late?
Lin Xu thought so and pushed open the study door.
Ji Tingyang seemed to be tired. He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes and fell asleep. He even held a pen in his right hand, not forgetting his work.
Lin Xu thought for a while, then went back to the room and brought a small blanket over, covering him gently.
However, Ji Tingyang was not sleeping deeply, and the slightest movement woke him up.
His body tensed up, he opened his hazy eyes, and relaxed again after realizing it was Lin Xu.
Lin Xu was not afraid of waking him up, so he called him back to his room: "If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep."
