746 Don’t Recognize You freeweb novel.co m
Seeing the light, Ji Yan squinted his eyes and looked up in a daze. He stood in the darkness, looking cold and unpredictable. His dark eyes seemed to be able to absorb all light, making them look even darker and deeper. Because of the alcohol, Ji Yan’s face was paler than usual, but his eyes were slightly red. When he looked straight at her, Qiao Xi’s face turned red and her heart raced. Her fingers curled up uncontrollably. An indescribable desire surged in her heart, making her tremble.
“Are you drunk?” She carefully went downstairs and stood in front of Ji Yan. She looked up at him. He was really tall, and just standing there gave off a strong sense of oppression. His body had a nice cold fragrance with a hint of bitterness. Mixed with the rich wine fragrance, it smelled even more intoxicating. When he looked down, he was like a god standing in the clouds. Qiao Xi could hear her heart beating rapidly, like loud drum beats. freewebnove(l).com
Ji Yan lowered his head and looked at her, looking a little confused. “You… Who are you?” He had indeed drunk a little too much, and the world in front of him was blurring. His cold and sharp brows furrowed. “Don’t shake. Don’t move.” It kept swaying back and forth until he felt like vomiting.
Stunned, Qiao Xi stood stiffly on the spot, not daring to move. Her hand that was about to support Ji Yan also stopped in mid-air.
“You … Don’t you recognize me?” Qiao Xi bit her lower lip as something seemed to break out of her heart. At that moment, apart from the rapid beating of her heart, she recalled the conversation between Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing that night when she had eavesdropped on them while standing at the edge of the stairs. Mrs. Ji would tell her to move to the company’s staff dormitory. She did not know how long she could stay in the Ji family’s house and how many more times she could see him. He was so noble and so distant, like the bright moon hanging high in the sky. It was a distance that she would never be able to reach. At this moment, her moon was drunk and fell into the human world. It landed in front of her, still shining brightly but defenseless.
Ji Yan’s brows were still furrowed, and his blank gaze fell on Qiao Xi without saying a word.
Did he still not recognize her? That’s right. To a person like Ji Yan, she was non-existent. If it were not for Mrs. Ji, she might not have been able to come into contact with him all her life. How could a person like her be worthy of leaving a mark in his heart? She did not even dare to have any wild hopes and only looked at him from afar. However, at that moment, she was not sure if it was the strong smell of wine on Ji Yan’s body that made her a little tipsy, or if it was because she was about to leave the Ji family and could no longer see him again that her ambition grew. This thought gave the timid Qiao Xi courage. She stepped forward and held Ji Yan’s arm. “President Ji… Mr. Ji, don’t you recognize me?”
Ji Yan’s eyes were in a daze, and his heart throbbed. He had never felt that there was anything special about his name. As he grew up, he had been called young master Ji or President Ji, but different titles were just code names in his eyes until he married Shen Hanxing. Whenever she called him “Mr. Ji”, the words seemed to tug at his heartstrings. It made him feel that this ordinary title was filled with honey. Who was the person standing in front of him now? The figure-hugging and casual long dress outlined the curves of her body. Her long hair was let down, making her small face look even more petite and lustrous. In the hazy darkness, this slender figure seemed to gradually become clearer, and a beautiful face appeared in front of him.
“Madam…” Ji Yan mumbled and his thin lips curled up unconsciously, revealing a very faint but gentle smile. Qiao Xi was stunned. She had never seen Ji Yan smile before. He was always cold and aloft. He was always distant and indifferent in front of her. Even in front of his younger brothers and sisters, he rarely showed any emotions. Only in front of Shen Hanxing did he show his gentle side and soften his sharp features. He rarely smiled, but once he did, he would look breathtakingly beautiful. The lines on his handsome face were so exquisite that when he smiled, people forgot to breathe.
He was so handsome. Qiao Xi looked up at him in a daze, feeling as if her soul was about to fly out of her body. Even though she knew that Ji Yan was not looking at her or smiling at her, her heart beat faster and her fingertips were trembling.
