The staircase was a spiral staircase, Ye Shengxing walked one step faster than Ji Ning, and Ji Ning followed behind him. Ye Shengxing slowed down, and she also slowed down, just not catching up with him.

Keeping such a distance until he finished walking the stairs, Ye Shengxing specially stopped at the staircase and waited for Ji Ning to come over. Ji Ning had no choice but to move forward.

After Ji Ning was side by side with him, Ye Shengxing continued to walk forward.

"My brother and sister don't look like people who don't like to talk." Suddenly, Ye Shengxing said such a sentence. The already quiet atmosphere suddenly had more voices, and Ji Ning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She pursed her lips, and before she could answer, Ye Shengxing continued: "Could it be that my brother and sister have an opinion about me?" Ye Shengxing's voice was slow, word by word, and his tone was very affirmative, as if he had already answered.

"Nope." Ji Ning denied it without thinking about it. She regained her composure: "It's just that cousin, you look more serious, I thought you were a quiet person, so you didn't make a sound." ”

Although the question came too suddenly, after all, she was eating this bowl of rice, and she would still be able to say it nicely.

In fact, she didn't take the initiative to talk to Ye Shengxing because she didn't like him, but she naturally wouldn't express these words clearly.

Xu didn't expect Ji Ning to react so quickly, Ye Shengxing recalled this sentence, and the corners of his lips hooked up a smile of unknown meaning. He said, "My brother and sister have been watching me? His words were full of traps.

At this time, if Ji Ning answered "yes", it would be inappropriate. As a younger brother and sister, as a woman, she stares at men other than her husband all the time, and she also observes the characteristics of the other party clearly, and anyone will think about it when they say it.

But if Ji Ning denied it, it would mean that she was perfunctory with a few words casually, which was impolite.

So no matter which answer it is, Ji Ning will fall into the pit.

Ji Ning secretly gritted his teeth, and looked at Ye Shengxing's appearance as if he was smiling, and knew that he did it on purpose.

Looking at Ji Ning's silent appearance, Ye Shengxing felt unexplained excitement in his heart. He found that he had a curiosity about Ji Ning and was eager to learn more about Ji Ning.

This feeling was something he hadn't felt before, or he didn't care to have. But at this moment, facing Ji Ning, Ye Shengxing liked this feeling very much.

Whether Ji Ning was angry or what, he found it funny. It's like seeing a treasure, holding it in the palm of your hand, staring at it day and night, and you can't take your eyes off.

Ye Shengxing was looking forward to Ji Ning's reaction.

After a while, Ji Ning laughed out loud and replied casually: "No, it's just that Shao Chen mentioned it to me before, so he has such an impression of you." ”

Ji Ning's answer was generous and decent, and the smile on her face did not have any flaws, which successfully resolved the pit that Ye Shengxing dug for her, and at the same time made Ye Shengxing stunned for a moment.

Probably didn't expect Ji Ning to think of a way to deal with it so quickly, Ye Shengxing retracted his gaze, the curvature of his lips gradually disappeared, and finally the corners of his lips straightened.

"You husband and wife have a good relationship." At the end, Ye Shengxing said such a sentence.

Ji Ning didn't let go, she felt much better at this time, compared to not being as restrained as she was just now. She replied, "Fortunately, there are no secrets between us. In front of outsiders, she has never let others know what she is not good about.

The most important thing is that there is nothing bad about Ye Shaochen.

Ye Shengxing let out a meaningful "oh" and asked, "Then did he tell you about me?" His voice was firm, as if he was already waiting for Ji Ning's astonishment.

Sure enough, Ji Ning paused, and then shook his head: "No." ”

Before today, Ji Ning knew very little about the Ye family, let alone the cognition of specific people. It was also today that Ji Ning knew that there was Ye Shengxing, and he didn't know anything else.

Being asked by Ye Shengxing like this, Ji Ning had doubts in her heart, and always felt that there was something between Ye Shaochen and Ye Shengxing that she didn't know.

But Ji Ning didn't express her doubts, she regained her usual composure, and said lightly: "He doesn't say the family's secrets, it's normal." ”

After a pause, Ji Ning said to Ye Shengxing again: "Lunch is about to start, let's go quickly, cousin, if you have any questions, you can ask Shao Chen later." ”

She threw the pot directly to Ye Shaochen, because she didn't want to face this kind of thing, she was really irritable.

Ye Shengxing didn't give up, and he was still talking after speeding up his pace, but this time he changed the topic: "Do you know why I put forward the proposal of fair competition just now?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, I don't know what you think, and I don't want to know." Ji Ning simply blocked Ye Shengxing's last note.

There was impatience in his tone: "I don't have any intention of the Ye family's property, I have my own job, so please don't say anything about the Ye family in front of me." If something happens, I can't afford it. ”

At this time, Ji Ning added one more label to Ye Shengxing in her heart: self-righteousness.

Ji Ning pointed to the position in front of him and said, "Maybe you can find a few people inside and tell them what you think, they should be very willing to listen." ”

Be polite, but when necessary, Ji Ning still won't give the other party. She thought that what she had just done was good enough, but Ye Shengxing had to inch in, and she could only say these words.

Looking at Ye Shengxing again, he was obviously stunned, an incredible look flashed in his eyes, probably he didn't expect Ji Ning to be so unpolite. Fortunately, there is no one around now, otherwise he would have lost his share if people saw this scene.

But at this moment, Ye Shengxing was not a little annoyed, but even more excited in his heart. If Ji Ning had been talking to him in a good voice, it might not be long before Ye Shengxing would lose interest in her.

But Ji Ning didn't, Ye Shengxing's sudden temper made Ye Shengxing like it very much, at least it showed that Ji Ning was different from others, and it was this that attracted him.

Thinking about it, Ye Shengxing laughed, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and his posture was still high. He said slowly, "But I just want to talk to you alone." ”

"Because I know I have an absolute chance of winning, and I'm not afraid of a hundred more opponents. The reason why everyone is participating is just to highlight my excellence. ”

After a pause, Ye Shengxing added later: "Better than Shao Chen." ”

Hearing Ye Shaochen's name, Ji Ning finally reacted, and looked back at Ye Shengxing, with a look of ridicule or surprise in his eyes, in short, Ye Shengxing looked very uncomfortable.

At this time, he was already approaching the restaurant, and busy servants passed by one after another, and the stiff atmosphere was broken, and Ji Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The clenched fist secretly released without a trace.

Ji Ning had a relaxed smile on her face, she looked at Ye Shengxing with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, just like the formulaic smile she used to have when she went to socialize.

"Cousin, of course you are better than Shao Chen." Ji Ning came to say this.

If it had been before, Ye Shengxing would have felt that the other party was sincere to him, but at this moment, he felt that Ji Ning was sarcastic about him, and a sense of humiliation surged up from his chest.

Just when it was about to erupt, Ye Shaochen's voice came from not far away: "Ning Ning, it turns out that you are here, so it is easy for me to find it." "It's not loud or small, just enough for two people to hear.

Ji Ning followed the voice and looked over and saw that it was Ye Shaochen, who was coming this way, and his eyes suddenly began to glow. She stretched out her hand and shook it at Ye Shaochen: "Shao Chen." ”

This voice was full of the tenderness of a little woman, which was diametrically opposed to the attitude he had when he faced Ye Shengxing just now.

Ye Shengxing's eyes shrank, frowning and staring at Ye Shaochen tightly, and the unwillingness from childhood to adulthood emerged again. If eyes could kill people, Ye Shaochen would probably be full of holes.

"You're very good." Ye Shengxing suddenly walked into Ji Ning's ear and said something inexplicably. Seeing that Ye Shaochen had already come over, Ye Shengxing quickly finished the next sentence.

He said, "But no matter how good you are, you still can't beat her." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Ye Shengxing in surprise, but Ye Shengxing had already turned around and left. She wanted to call Ye Shengxing, but Ye Shaochen had already walked to her side.

With a big hand on his shoulder, Ji Ning held back the words that he was about to blurt out, and looked up at Ye Shaochen.

Ye Shaochen asked, "Why are you with him?" "It seems to be very unhappy about this.

"I just happened to meet, so we came over together." Ji Ning explained in a daze. Holding Ye Shaochen's cuffs in her hand, she rubbed them carefully.

After a long while, Ji Ning slowly opened his mouth and asked him softly: "Shao Chen, before me, were you still with anyone else?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Ning noticed that Ye Shaochen's body was slightly stiff, but Ye Shaochen shook his head almost without hesitation and said, "No." ”

His tone was firm, his expression was serious, and it didn't look like he was lying, if he hadn't sensed the strangeness of his body, Ji Ning would definitely believe this answer.

But at this moment, Ji Ning didn't believe it.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Ye Shaochen bent down and asked her.

Ji Ning shook his head and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, how can such an excellent person as you be single all the time." ”

Ye Shaochen smiled, took Ji Ning's hand and walked in the direction of the restaurant. As he walked, he said, "Probably to wait for your appearance." ”

Ye Shengxing, who had not walked far away, turned around and saw the scene of the two holding hands, and his eyes became gloomy.

smashed his fist on the wall: "Ye Shaochen, wait, I will also have what you have, and I will snatch it from your hand, let those people know who is the most powerful person in the Ye family." ”

When the servants passing by saw Ye Shengxing's actions, they were so frightened that they covered their mouths and didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly walked around to leave.

When I got to the restaurant, I was already halfway there.

Seeing Ye Shaochen coming, everyone stopped their movements and greeted him, wanting Ye Shaochen to sit next to them in the past, so that they could have a good relationship in advance.
