C244 Please Continue to like Him
Qin Luoluo frowned slightly, then revealed an expression as if she had heard a huge joke. "This is what Ye told you? Don't listen to his nonsense, I..."
"Ye didn't tell me this, but I know. We are all women, there are many things between women that need not be explained. It's normal for you to like Ye. He has always been an outstanding man. It's not just you. Perhaps there are also many women that I don't know who likes him. " Ji Nian interrupted Qin Luoluo's refusal to admit it and unhurriedly said those words.
Qin Luoluo looked at Ji Nian's calm face. She did not think that she would be so open-minded and that her hiding would be very hypocritical.
But she called Ji Nian over today to tell her that she was kidnapped last time and not that she liked Mu Tingye. She did not want to continue on this topic because she had already thought it through and could only give up what she could not get.
"Nian Nian, I only wanted to meet you today to talk about your kidnapping..."
"I know, you have already apologized to me. I accept it. What you are going to say next is that you want to tell me that you are doing this to test if I am loyal to Ye, right?"
Ji Nian looked at the woman in front of her and continued, "My performance did not disappoint you, so you specially came to apologize to me today, didn't you?"
Qin Luoluo was speechless again and looked at Ji Nian in disbelief. She asked in a slight daze, "You, you are not angry?"
Angry? When she first heard the truth, she was very angry but what was the use of being angry? She had already heard that the kidnappers had been punished by Mu Tingye. Now that things had come to this, she had nothing to fuss about.
She also knew that if it was not for that time, her condition would not have suddenly worsened. She should be angry with Qin Luoluo.
But thinking about it carefully, even without this matter, her condition would not have been much better. Without a new heart transplant, she would not have lived for many years.
Ji Nian suddenly looked at Qin Luoluo with incomparable seriousness, "Luoluo, you and Ye are good friends. You will care about how he treats him, right?"
Qin Luoluo did not understand why Ji Nian suddenly asked such a question and did not think too much about it. She replied, "We have been good friends since we were young. Why would I treat him badly? However, don't misunderstand. I am just the concern of a friend." She quickly explained.
Ji Nian, however, did not care what kind of concern she was talking about. She hurriedly continued, "Luoluo, I hope that you will be more concerned and take care of him in the future. He did not seem to need anyone to take care of him, but that was only from the looks of it. For example, he will often forget to eat, so you have to remind him. Also..."
She talked about things Mu Tingye did not pay attention to in his life and even told Qin Luoluo the dishes he liked to eat. In the end, she said strangely, "I know you like him, please continue to like him. Maybe someday he will like you."
When she said this, she lowered her head. Her eyes were moist, but the corners of her mouth were curved in a lonely arc.
Qin Luoluo was completely stunned. She suspected that Ji Nian had suffered some serious injury or else why would she say such strange words to her?
She had already made up her mind to give up on Mu Tingye, but Ji Nian persuaded her to continue liking him. What exactly did she mean?
"Ji Nian, why are you telling me this?" Qin Luoluo narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Was Ji Nian trying to mock her? She clearly knew that the person Mu Tingye liked now was herself, so why did she say such strange things to others?
Ji Nian took a breath and looked up at Qin Luoluo with a smile, "I have already accepted your apology. You do not need to feel guilty. I still have things to do so I will go back first. Thank you for treating me to coffee today."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag, stood up, and politely nodded to Qin Luoluo, then turned around and left.
"Hey, Ji Nian, you..." Qin Luoluo wanted to call her back but Ji Nian had already stubbornly left. It seemed like there was really an urgent matter.
This made Qin Luoluo feel even more strange. Did Ji Nian take the wrong medicine? She looked at the cup of coffee and Ji Nian did not even take a sip.
Watching Ji Nian's back walk away, Qin Luoluo frowned.
When April came, the footsteps became more and more hurried. Mu Tingye accompanied Ji Nian back to Phoenix City once during the Qingming Festival.
In front of Ji Nian's grandmother and mother and sister's tombstones, he solemnly promised them that he would take good care of Ji Nian for the rest of his life and let them rest assured.
Ji Nian quietly listened to the man's vow by the side. When the wind blew past her long hair, she closed her eyes. The sound of the wind seemed to turn into sighs.
They were saying, Read it. This man is very good. You must cherish him.
She had always treasured it very much. Even when she was with Lu Shaocheng, she treasured it very much. It was just that not every time she cherished it, she would not be able to protect the things she wanted to treasure.
After returning from Phoenix City, Mu Tingye told her that he had already seen her family. Her family was very satisfied with him, so she would prepare to enter Mu family.
Ji Nian laughed at his confidence. He wasn't embarrassed at all, he was just that confident.1
The most important thing for the Mu family in April was to organize Old Master Mu's birthday banquet. When the time came, there would be a lot of people attending the banquet. They didn't need to go to the hotel to organize the banquet. They just needed to stay in the Mu family mansion.
With that, Ji Nian would return to Mu family to stay near the birthday banquet and help Ye Meihui prepare the birthday banquet.
The old man was very happy. He also said that Ji Nian should follow Ye Meihui and learn how to prepare such a big banquet. If she were to marry into the Mu family in the future, she would have to worry about this kind of thing.
Ji Nian pursed her lips and smiled. She looked very sincere and did not know what to say anymore. She knew that she would eventually let down Old Master Mu's expectations.
On this day, Ji Nian and Ye Meihui were reading the details of the birthday banquet. Both of them sat in the garden and pavilion. Ye Meihui held a book in her hand that recorded the things that should be prepared.
There were no servants by the side to serve them. It was just the two of them. The Mu family was too big and it was always so quiet. Ji Nian could only feel the coldness.
"You really want to do this?" Ye Meihui still looked at the book in her hand and only slightly frowned.
Ji Nian's hand trembled and her eyelashes drooped as she softly asked, "Auntie feels that it is not appropriate for me to do this, right? But... This is the only way I can think of. It is just that I am slightly sorry for grandpa."
Ye Meihui looked at her and was silent for a long time. She said faintly, "At the old man's birthday banquet... it is indeed not very appropriate. Furthermore, there will be so many people present at that time."
"Auntie, Ye said that he will introduce my identity to everyone at that time." Ji Nian hesitated and said.
Ye Meihui's eyes narrowed and her expression stiffened.
Ji Nian continued, "I know that doing this at grandfather's birthday banquet is very bad, but Auntie, think about it. This kind of big occasion is needed to completely break Ye's heart, isn't it?"
Ye Meihui's gaze was complex as she looked at Ji Nian. She saw the struggle and pain in her eyes.
She could not help but think that if one day Ye knew that she helped Ji Nian do this kind of thing, this brat would definitely hate her, the mother, to death, right?
