97 Unfinished Engagements
Only then did Yan Ke realize that he had been tricked, and his face suddenly turned red. The shy appearance revealed the dissatisfaction of the little daughter, Ji Ziqi was bitter, and stared at her seriously, "Xiao Ke, didn't you know that he would come?" ”
"Me??" Yan Ke couldn't think of words to answer for a while, and wanted to say that he didn't know, but how could it be? She remembers the birthday of the old man of the Ji family better than anyone else!
That year, at Old Man Ji's birthday banquet, they gave her a big surprise, which she will never forget in her life! Ten years ago, she was eighteen years old, and Mr. Ji's 70th birthday was very big! Almost all the people with heads and faces in the circle came, and she was pulled by Yan's mother to dress up early in the morning.
At that time, she smiled: "Mom! What are you doing when you dress me up so well? It's not my birthday again! ”
Mother Yan took an elegant white shoulder and smiled mysteriously, "Today! The people who go are all uncles and aunts who can be called 'big shots', what about you, dress up well, dress up beautifully, maybe your in-laws will have a place in the future! ”
She couldn't cry or laugh, "Mom! I've just turned eighteen! Did you want to marry me off so early? ”
Who knows, Yan's mother said seriously: "Eighteen! It's not small, when I was your age, I was married to your dad! ”
She was stunned for a moment, remembering the figure who saved her on the street not long ago, her face flashed red, but the wonderful figure of him and Yan Xin embracing each other made her quickly retreat, hiding the loss in her heart, and said coquettishly: "Mom! And Xiao Xin! I'm as old as her! Don't leave me alone! ”
"She's not like you! Xiao Xin is much quieter than you! Mother Yan nodded her head reproachfully and dotingly, and counted carefully, "You! is so lawless, I guess that kid from the Ji family can stand you! ”
She grinned, and before she had time to think about the meaning of her mother's words, Yan Xin had already come in and pulled them out. On that day, at the birthday banquet, she wore a white veil, white and flawless, which was different from other people's slim dresses.
The champagne garden is full of clothes, the clothes and silk are intertwined, she is dazzled, and people from all walks of life talk and laugh. She stepped on pointy high heels, and was pulled by her mother and Yan Xin to walk around the garden in a daze, and greeted uncles and aunts she knew or didn't know.
Halfway, Gu Jifeng picked up Yan Xin, and she occasionally saw them snuggling together, and it was difficult to distinguish the taste in her heart. Ji Ziqi also seemed to have disappeared, and when she came to her senses, she had been pushed to the center of the stage, and Ji Ziqi was standing in a formal suit, smiling and stretching out his hand to her.
"Xiao Ke?"
Ji Ziqi called her name lightly, with encouragement, she saw the black and oppressive guests in the audience, and broke out in a cold sweat, what is this for? I vaguely remember what kind of engagement ceremony someone said! The inquiring looked at the parents in the crowd, and they all smiled with encouragement and relief to let her go.
Ji Ziqi stretched out one hand to her, but the other hand was secretly clenched nervously, she saw the beads of sweat on his forehead, and she also saw that he was also nervous, but ...... Somewhere in the audience, Yan Xinyan smiled at Yan Yan, and Gu Jifeng hugged her and smiled peerlessly!
Her heart tingled, and then she remembered her mother's unintentional words, "You! is so lawless, I guess that kid from the Ji family can stand you! ”
"She's not like you! Xiao Xin is much quieter than you! ”
She thinks that there is indeed a difference between her and Xiao Xin! She didn't even know she was going to get engaged! She can't even choose the man she wants to be engaged to!
At that time, the anger of being deceived and the emotion of not wanting to disappoint her parents kept rolling in her heart, tearing at her fragile and chaotic nerves, and she stood in place and didn't know how to move.
The people in the audience also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, chirping and discussing with each other, and different eyes such as sarcasm, watching the play, indifference, surprise, and concern were projected on her body, pressing her almost out of breath.
"Xiao Ke?" Ji Ziqi's uncertain voice came into her ears again, but she didn't have the strength to answer.
The slender heels grinded on her feet for a day, and the soreness hit her overwhelmingly, and her head went blank. In a daze, she seemed to look at an anxious gaze, she wanted to smile, but she couldn't. At the moment when she was about to fall, a sturdy figure jumped onto the stage and supported her.
In the warm embrace, she seemed to be much more relieved, her brain was so dizzy, her eyelids were so heavy that she used all her strength to open them, and Ji Ziqi's voice came from near and far, and she fell into a coma completely.
The hurried footsteps in the hospital revealed a little anxious, and the familiar voices were mixed with each other, and she couldn't tell the difference. That birthday feast ended in her unconscious.
It had been days since she woke up, and no one had mentioned the unfinished engagement, and she didn't even know who was the one who jumped on the stage and hugged her.......
Later, the matter was over, and she felt sorry for it, she couldn't go to his side at that time, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't take a step......
Between light and shadow, she looked at the warm and bitter eyes on the face, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry!" I didn't mean to. ”
It was also from then that she knew Ji Ziqi's feelings for her, and she didn't want to lose this rare friendship, so she kept pretending to be stupid. Ji Ziqi may not be her lover, but it must be one of her inseparable concerns in this life.
For six years, she didn't ask him for help, and it was also for this reason that she didn't know it, and if she knew that she relied on it again and again, it would become a sin......
She admits that it was selfish to come with him today......
Ji Ziqi smiled, put away the depression in his heart, returned to his suave and unpaying appearance, wrapped his hands around her waist, leaned into her ear, and said softly: "If you really want to say sorry, just raise your head and chest!" Since you don't want to be involved with him anymore, then don't drag the mud and water! ”
Yan Ke looked up at him, she smiled, and replied, "Hmm! ”
"That's right!" Ji Ziqi smiled, "My Xiao Ke has always been confident, don't let the surnamed Gu look down on you!" Well? He stroked her hair, "To learn to let go, you must first face it, and you can't be a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”
Yan Ke was amused by Ji Ziqi's serious words, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he followed his footsteps and walked towards the main house together.
Gu Yufeng's eyes followed the two, and even Ye Weilan stared at him for a long time without noticing, came back to his senses, met her smiling eyes, the anger in his eyes flashed, and then returned to indifference.
Ye Weilan exposed him, "Don't pretend!" If you care, just say it! I don't like hard-mouthed people! ”
Embarrassment flashed on Gu Yufeng's face, and Ye Weilan smiled even more happily, "You are clearly a dead duck with a hard mouth!" ”
"Have you made enough trouble! Hurry up and get in! Gu Jifeng was dissatisfied with her teasing, and was slightly annoyed, "I'll have something to do later!" ”
Ye Weilan's face gradually stiffened, and his smile seemed to become difficult, he felt strange, and called, "Weilan? ”
"Vilan?"
After screaming twice, Ye Weilan came back to her senses, but there was no focus in her eyes, Gu Jifeng frowned, and followed her gaze, there was nothing except the two big trees standing there, and the neon trees full of trees. Many of the guests chatted happily with their glasses, but there was nothing special about it.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Ye Weilan seemed to be frightened, her face was pale, no longer ruddy, and she grabbed his hand tightly, like a life-saving straw, "Help me rest for a while before going in!" I want to take a break. ”
Gu Jifeng helped her, squinted and glanced at the two trees again, and only responded to the "Hmm!" ”
In the hall, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zimo came back with their daughters-in-law and children, and even Ji Ziqing, who traveled around the world, was also there, and the room was full of people, Yan Ke couldn't tell who was who, so he could only follow Ji Ziqi to say hello one by one.
I don't know who said, "The third young master is back!" A big family suddenly made an uproar, and Ji Ziqing, who was teasing her little niece, heard this, and hurriedly ran over, pounced on Ji Ziqi's body, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Third brother, you want me to die!" ”
"Hey! You don't?? Ji Ziqi expected it, but he couldn't hide from her, so he quickly pulled her away.
If she remembers correctly, Ji Ziqing should be twenty-one years old this year, and it is really difficult to hook the words "celebrity lady" with the fashionable dress on her body! It's pretty cute. Seeing her hanging on Ji Ziqi's body like a koala again, Yan Ke pursed his lips and smiled.
"Who is this?"
Ji Ziqing looked at Yan Ke with wide eyes, his eyes were full of light, Yan Ke was stunned, red glow flew over his face, and he lowered his head, "Hello, Xiaoqing!" ”
"Third sister-in-law!"
Regardless of the image, he pounced on Yan Ke again, and was stopped by Ji Ziqi mercilessly, "Hey! Go and don't scare people! ”
"Little aunt, don't be scary!" The little niece who was placed on the ground showed her scarce teeth and smiled happily. Ji Ziqing was distressed for a while, and then showed a fierce expression, which made the little niece giggle.
Yan Ke smiled at her awkwardly across Ji Ziqi, she pursed her lips, and before she could make any moves, a loud voice had already sounded in the living room, accompanied by a muffled snort from crutches hitting the ground.
"Humph! Grown up, the wings are stiff! I can't look down on this old man! I haven't seen each other for ten days and half a month, so let's go back and do whatever I want to do now! Let's go! ”
Ji Ziqi smiled helplessly at Yan Ke, Ji Ziqing quietly stuck out her tongue, hugged her grinning little niece, and whispered: "You hit the muzzle of the gun yourself!" Shape up or ship out! ”
"Who made our old man angry?" Ji Ziqi let go of Yan Ke, walked in, squatted down next to Old Man Ji, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked pretendedly: "Grandpa, come, tell your grandson, who bullied you!" Grandson is going up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire to help you bully back! ”
It is the truth that grandpa loves his grandson! Ji Ziqi is coaxed, where can the old man still have a face!
The second Ji Zimo said sourly: "I see, our old man still serves the third master, and we all came back yesterday and were scolded to death." He's fine, he's only coming back now, and after only two words, the old man laughed! Comparisons are odious! ”
"Humph!" The old man struck him hard with his cane, "You go so far! Ziqi is still staying in Yunchuan honestly, he can still see it once in ten days and half a month, what about you? Don't laugh, Boss, and you! ”
