753 Little Wild Cat
Ji Ning still didn’t understand what was going on. She blinked, then said in a small voice, “Big brother’s mouth is also injured? Who did it? They went too far!” He was even hit on the face! Moreover, Ji Yan was like a god in the hearts of his sisters. How could someone dare to hit him?
“Ahem.” Meeting Ji Ning’s innocent gaze, Shen Hanxing coughed twice, picked up a small steamed bun, and placed it in the porcelain bowl in front of Ji Ning. “Ji Ning, try this soup bun…” After a pause, she picked up another one and placed it in front of Ji Qian. “Ji Qian, you eat too.”
Ji Qian understood and made a gesture of zipping her mouth. She got it and would keep her mouth shut! However, her bright eyes were smiling in excitement, and it made Shen Hanxing’s ears burn even hotter. Ji Ning, however, didn’t know what was going on, and she still asked worriedly, “Sister-in-law, I’m not hungry yet. I’m worried about my big brother…”
How was she supposed to explain this? Shen Hanxing glared at Ji Yan.
“I’m fine.” Ji Yan’s lips curled up. He sat down at the table and said with a smile, “When I came back last night, I got scratched by a little wild cat.”
“A little wild cat?” Ji Ning’s eyes were wide open, and she said worriedly, “Brother, shouldn’t you get a vaccine?” There were a lot of germs on wild cats’ paws.
“That cat’s paws were very clean. It was sweet and wild.” Ji Yan chuckled. His dark eyes fell on the person beside him. His hand under the table grabbed Shen Hanxing’s hand and squeezed it gently. “There’s no need for the vaccine. I’ll see if I can please her and bring her home.”
Shen Hanxing knew what Ji Yan was trying to say. She glared at him and grabbed his palm in anger. She did not use much strength though and his smile got even bigger.
“We’ll have a cat?” Ji Qian’s eyes widened in surprise and anticipation. “Is it pretty? Big brother, where did you see it? I’ll go and take a look too!” Nowadays, who could resist a furry little kitten?
“That little wild cat is very fierce. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to tame it.” The corners of Ji Yan’s mouth curled up slightly, implying something. “But it’s very beautiful.”
Beautiful? Ji Qian tilted her head in confusion. Should the word ‘beautiful’ be used to describe a cat?
“You have nothing to do today?” Shen Hanxing had never been so embarrassed. She pursed her lips and blushed slightly. She forced herself to remain calm and said, “Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Stop talking.”
Ji Yan chuckled softly. He was afraid that Shen Hanxing would fly into a rage out of embarrassment, so he did not say anything else. Grandma looked at them quietly with a subtle smile in her eyes. The dining table finally returned to silence, with the occasional clatter of cutlery.
Qiao Xi signed silently in relief. She couldn’t tell if she was feeling disappointed or glad. Ji Yan had been acting as usual since he came downstairs, as if he had no memory of what happened last night, which saved her from the awkward situation. However, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad. It seemed that the sweet memories of yesterday under the dim light were ultimately just her own imagination. It didn’t mean anything to him.
With these complicated thoughts, Qiao Xi finished her breakfast and bade everyone farewell before leaving the Ji family’s house with her suitcase. Ji Yan also had to go to work. The two of them arrived at the door one after another, and the low-key Maybach was already waiting outside. Ji Yan’s eyes did not look sideways as he strode out with his long legs. Before he got into the car, a timid voice came from beside him. “President Ji…”
Qiao Xi clenched her fists tightly and her body trembled uncontrollably. Ji Yan turned around and looked at her. His dark eyes were as calm as ever, like the deep sea. There were no waves on the surface, but one could easily drown in them if they were not careful.
Qiao Xi fiddled with her fingers, feeling nervous under Ji Yan’s gaze. She had called out to him on impulse, but now she could not say a word. To her, Ji Yan was too far away, yet too perfect. His presence was so strong that it made her feel ashamed of herself. In front of him, she had to choose her words carefully.
