702 Are You Done Playing?
From Ji Ning’s angle, she could see Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing holding hands. Ji Yan was holding her sister-in-law’s hand in his palm and was massaging it. It was a simple action, but for some reason, it looked a little perverted. She blushed and dared not look at it anymore.
Although Ji Ning was innocent, she wasn’t an idiot. How could he not see that the scammer was most likely his sister-in-law joking with his big brother? In order not to let Ji Qian continue to be so stupid, she had no choice but to come up with a poor excuse. Then, without giving Ji Qian a chance to object, she dragged Ji Qian away. They shouldn’t stay here and be third wheels anymore!
Ji Qian’s resistance was in vain as she was dragged into the kitchen by Ji Ning. The moment Ji Ning let go of Ji Qian, she placed her hands on her hips and questioned, “Ji Ning, what are you doing? I’m worried about big brother!” The younger brothers and sisters were not close to Ji Yan, but they admired and respected him in their hearts. Ji Yan was capable, tall, and handsome. Although he was cold to them, he was not mean. He had never taken anything from them, nor did he show any dislike or other emotions to them. Ji Qian and the others had their own judgment and had seen the lives of other families. Many of their younger brothers and sisters had been bullied and ostracized by their older brothers and sisters. With this comparison, they knew that Ji Yan’s indifference was actually a blessing. Moreover, ever since Shen Hanxing had come, their relationship as siblings had improved by leaps and bounds. Therefore, Ji Qian was really concerned about Ji Yan’s health and did not want him to fall sick.
“Big brother is fine.” Ji Ning didn’t know how to explain it to Ji Qian. When she thought about what she had seen, she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say a word. After holding it in for a long time, she could only say in a low voice, “Don’t worry about it first, just let him and sister-in-law stay for a while.”
!!On the other side, when Qiao Xi saw Ji Qian and Ji Ning whispering to each other after they entered, she nervously clenched the corner of her apron and asked in a soft voice, “Ji Qian, Ji Ning, why are you guys here? There’s a lot of smoke and oil in the kitchen, it’s better if you go out and wait. Dinner will be ready soon.” In fact, she had only made a soup. She was staying here because she didn’t know how to face Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing when she went out.
“We’re hungry, so we came over to take a look.” Ji Ning pulled on Ji Qian’s hand and whispered to Qiao Xi with a blush, “Qiao Xi, you’re so good at cooking. I’m so envious.”
Qiao Xi didn’t think too much about it, and a surprised smile appeared on her face when she heard this. Her previous living environment had been too oppressive, so she had habitually placed herself in a very low position. As a result, it was even rarer for her to receive praise from others. She had a happy expression on her face, but she pursed her lips and subconsciously denied it. “Actually, my cooking skills are just average. There’s still a big gap between me and Auntie Chen…” she said, biting her lip sadly and not able to continue. She looked a little lost. Indeed, she couldn’t compare to Auntie Chen, who was the Ji family’s dedicated nanny. It was said that she had returned from studying abroad and had a special certificate, which was why she could keep the house in good order. A chef and nutritionist certificate were the most basic things. Not only was she good at cooking, but she was also fast and considerate, unlike her. The only thing that was worth mentioning were a few ordinary soups. Perhaps everyone didn’t think that her soup was that delicious and was just being polite.
Ji Ning didn’t know why Qiao Xi had suddenly fallen silent halfway through her sentence. Puzzled, she asked, “Qiao Xi, what’s wrong?” As she spoke, she stepped forward and held Qiao Xi’s hand. “Why are you in a bad mood all of a sudden? Your cooking skills are really great, different from Auntie Chen’s. You both have your own good points.” Auntie Chen’s cooking skills were undeniable, but Qiao Xi’s cooking was also unique.
Ji Ning had a pair of round eyes. Perhaps it was because she rarely interacted with the outside world, but she always had a pure and innocent air about her. When she looked at people, she was sincere and gentle, shy and bashful, and it was very easy for people to have a good impression of her.
Qiao Xi’s heart warmed as she forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing.” After that, she changed the topic and said, “We’ll have to wait for a while before we can eat. If you’re hungry, do you want to have some fruits first? I’ll help you guys cut some fruits.” They started chatting in the kitchen again. In the living room, Ji Yan stepped forward and placed his long and strong arms on the back of the sofa. He wrapped Shen Hanxing in his arms and looked down at her with his dark eyes. He said aggressively, “Madam, are you done playing?”
