After this incident, Han Lin’s relationship with Ji Yan had improved a little. As long as Ji Yan did not have the intention to compete with her for Huo Qing, Han Lin would not have done anything bad to Ji Yan.
Although she was clear about love and hate, she was not a bad girl who only knew how to be coquettish.
When Han Lin got out of the car, she leaned against Ji Yan and said, “I won’t say thanks to you.”
Ji Yan smiled and said nothing. Han Lin said again, “Well, well, my brother has really changed. What he has done before…”
“You don’t have to say much. I know. It doesn’t matter.” Ji Yan interrupted her. She couldn’t forgive Han Xian for what he had done to her, but he had helped her at the Ji Gui group’s annual meeting.
If it hadn’t been for Han Xian, she would have been the one to make a fool of herself. Therefore, she still remembered this favor. At most, she would not interfere with each other in the future.
Han Lin also smiled. After all, Han Xian was her brother, and she did not want him to die in the army. With Ji Yan’s words, her cousin would definitely be willing to let Han Xian go.
When it came to the devil’s arrival, Han Xian suddenly came back in a cheap open car. When he saw Ji Yan talking to Han Lin, he whistled like a rogue.
“I say, Han Xian. This is how the army taught you. Why is there no change in your character?” Han Lin was speechless as she asked.
Han Xian got out of the car, walked up to Han Lin, and knocked on her forehead. “I’m your brother. Do you need to teach me a lesson?” Didn’t he know that it was hard to change his nature? His value had been changed a little, but it didn’t mean that his character had been completely changed.
When Ji Yan saw Han Xian, she couldn’t help but think of the military ruffian. It was really in line.
She did not want to have more dealings with Han Xian. She drove and was about to leave. However, Han Xian hurried forward to stop in front of her car and supported himself with both hands.
“Hey, sister-in-law, long time no see.”
She rolled her eyes. “Who wants to see me?”
“Get out of the way. I’m leaving.”
Han Xian sighed and made way for Ji Yan, who then sped away without hesitation.
Han Lin crossed her arms and said to Han Xian, “Tsk, tsk. I said, don’t always get close to Ji Yan.”
“Then why are you always coming up to that brat from the Huo family?” Han Xian glanced at her carelessly.
Han Lin was stunned and said, “I like him. You, you also like Ji Yan, don’t you?” She asked with a horrified face. If Han Xian really liked Ji Yan, he would be courting death.
Han Xian slapped her forehead and said, “Are you stupid? Ji Yan is very special, but she’s not your brother’s cup of tea. Let’s have fun. Shang Jinshen treated me…” Han Xian narrowed his eyes. In the army, he learned to be brave first.
When she heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Han Xian did not like Ji Yan, it was fine. She had seen that woman clearly. It was better not to have anything to do with her.
After Ji Yan left, it was almost dark because of the delay. Everyone in the studio must have gotten off work. They didn’t know if Song Yao was still there. After all, he didn’t drive the car.
When she arrived at the studio and saw the light inside, Ji Yan was a little surprised. “Hasn’t he left yet?”
She pushed the door open and walked in just in time to see that Song Shi was carefully fiddling with the design items. His eyes did not hide his appreciation.
“You’re back?” he asked without looking at Ji Yan.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” She put down her bag and walked over.
He moved the design work to the best position, then looked at Ji Yan and said softly, “I guessed that you would come back, so I didn’t leave.”
These words made Ji Yan fall silent. Song Shi’s words always made people feel strange. She ignored this strange feeling and said to him, “I’ll return the car key to you. Thank you. Go back and rest early.”
He followed her and said, “If you really want to thank me, why don’t you treat me to a meal? I’ve been busy all day and haven’t eaten anything yet.”
“This man is so thick-skinned. I really can’t refuse him. After all, she really drove someone else’s car.”
She said helplessly, “Let’s go. It’s my treat.”
Song Shi suddenly laughed, and the two of them went to a nearby small restaurant together. Ji Yan was not a luxury person, and the restaurant she chose was neither high nor low-class. She only ordered one meat, one vegetable, and one soup.
Song Shi joked as he said, “I thought you would order whatever you like. I’ll treat you.”
Ji Yan was speechless and said, “I’m not a rich woman. Well, let’s finish eating and go back. It’s getting late.”
Song Shi picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. He praised, “It tastes good! You should try it as soon as possible.”
Anyway, it was her treat, so she would not be polite. She quickly and elegantly ate a bowl of rice. He was affected by her elegance when she ate with Shang Jinshen for a long time.
When she thought of Shang Jinshen, she lost her appetite. There was no news of him after he left. Didn’t he know to tell her?
Looking at the person on the opposite side who was instantly dispirited, Song Yao felt a little inexplicable. Looking at her white and beautiful little face, his eyes became deeper and deeper. He liked such a quiet and well-behaved woman with an intellectual nature.
“It’s a pity that he seems to have no feelings for me. It doesn’t matter. Since he likes me, I’ll try my best.”
Thinking of this, he thoughtfully said to Ji Yan, “Are you tired? Why don’t I take you home to rest?”
Ji Yan was indeed a little tired, and most of the time, she missed him all of a sudden. She picked up her bag and said feebly, “No need. I can walk on my own.”
“I’ll give you a ride,” he said decisively as he took out his car key.
“He’s just as overbearing as Shang Jinshen.” She didn’t want to say anything more, so she said, “All right.”
Anyway, she was so tired that she didn’t want to wait for the bus anymore. It wasn’t until Song Shi asked about the location in the passenger seat that Ji Yan told her about the intersection of the Ji Gui.
Song Shi’s eyes flickered slightly. He knew the location she was talking about. It was the rich district of North River City. She didn’t look like a rich young lady. Then why did she live in that kind of place?
There were many doubts in his heart, but he couldn’t ask them now. After all, they were not familiar with each other.
“Let’s call it a day. Thank you for sending me off,” Ji Yan said all of a sudden. It was not until then that Song Yao realized that they had arrived at their destination.
He smiled and asked, “Where is your home? I’ll send you straight to the door.”
She glanced at him and said in a distant voice, “No need. It’s very close. I’ll go by myself.” After that, she quickly got out of the car with her bag and soon disappeared from his sight.
Her act of being mysterious made Song Shi feel that it was more interesting. It seemed that the woman he liked had an unusual identity. He left the car and went home. He liked Ji Yan more and more. She was really different from the woman he knew before.
Song Shi did not know that Ji Yan was the young madam of a merchant family. If he had known, he might not have provoked Ji Yan so openly.
Ji Yan, on the other hand, didn’t have any extra thoughts, so she couldn’t see the unusual feelings Song Shi had for her.
If she had known, she would have kept her distance on her own.
Li Wenjing saw something, but she didn’t remind him. Anyway, Ji Yan didn’t like Song Xiaguang, so she didn’t have to worry too much.
