Chapter 120: Pain and Can’t Sleep
At the entrance of Minglan Club, Fu Nanxi sat upright in the passenger seat of a car. She kept stealing glances at her brother who was in the driver's seat.
Since getting in the car, her brother has been sitting in the driver's seat in silence. She felt that this was definitely a sign of him getting angry.
She didn't want to suffer any more, so she took the initiative to explain.
"Brother, please don't get me wrong. Shen Qi didn't invite Ji Yanbei. It was Shi Mingchen who invited him. Shen Qi and I didn't know about it beforehand. We only saw Ji Yanbei when we went in."
After she finished speaking, Fu Nanxi saw that the brother next door was still ignoring her with a cold face.
She picked at her fingers and lowered her voice a few notches, "I really didn't meet Ji Yanbei secretly, don't be angry."
Seeing his sister's cautious expression, Fu Jingyuan's expression eased a little.
He was not angry with her, he was just worried that his sister would get entangled with Ji Yanbei and get hurt.
She had no interest in Ji Yanbei, but Ji Yanbei definitely hadn't given up on her. He had so many beautiful women around him, and he had his own way of pursuing women.
If the two get involved again, there's no guarantee that my sister won't get hurt.
The most important thing now is to keep a close eye on my sister and let her see less of that playboy.
Thinking of this, he reached out and ruffled his sister's hair.
"Nanxi, don't be afraid. I believe you. I won't tell Dad about what happened today. But don't be in the same place with him unless necessary."
"Okay, I understand." Seeing that her brother was not angry and did not scold her, Fu Nanxi nodded obediently.
Fu Jingyuan lowered his head and stared into his sister's eyes, "Nanxi, tell me the truth, has Ji Yanbei been pestering you recently?"
Hearing his brother's question, Fu Nanxi waved his hands and said, "No, he didn't pester me. Except tonight, we haven't met before."
She didn't dare tell her brother what happened in the pet shop in the afternoon, otherwise her brother would suspect Ji Yanbei did it on purpose.
It was just a coincidence that we met in the afternoon, Ji Yanbei definitely didn't do it on purpose.
Fu Jingyuan looked at Fu Nanxi a few more times and said, "Okay, I understand. Remember what I said."
"Yeah, I remember."
After the brother and sister finished chatting, Fu Jingyuan turned around and started the car. The white Rolls-Royce Cullinan slowly drove away from the Minglan Club parking lot.
……
At the Ji family villa in Cangcuishan, when Ji Yanbei returned home, Grandpa Ji had already gone to bed, and only Ji Boyuan and Tian Rong were watching TV on the sofa in the living room.
Smelling his son's reek of alcohol, Ji Boyuan asked the servant to prepare sobering soup for his son.
"No need to cook, I'll go upstairs first." Ji Yanbei said without looking at the two of them, and took the elevator to the bedroom on the fifth floor.
After returning to the bedroom, he took a quick shower in the bathroom, changed into a set of gray pajamas, leaned on the edge of the bed, picked up his phone, unlocked it and opened WeChat.
Just now, Fu Nanxi was taken away from Minglan by Brother Fu, and I don’t know if he was scolded or not.
He opened the chat history with Fu Nanxi, which showed a message from Fu Nanxi when he was in Minglan at night, saying that his tattoo was inflamed and asking him not to drink.
He read the line over and over again, and finally couldn't help but send a message to Fu Nanxi.
[Fu Nanxi, are you okay? ]
After sending the message, he threw away his phone. He knew that the message would fall on deaf ears and Fu Nanxi would probably not reply to him.
But he was just worried. He wondered if the woman would hide in her room and cry alone after being taught a lesson by Brother Fu.
Thinking of the woman crying in his arms before, he couldn't help feeling sad and bitter in his heart.
As he was thinking, he heard his cell phone ringing. He took a deep breath and picked up the phone, his heart beating rapidly.
He opened his phone carefully. Unexpectedly, it was really a message from Fu Nanxi.
【fine. 】
He read these two short words several times, and Fu Nanxi was actually willing to reply to his message.
He walked over, picked up Tingting from the cat cage, and placed her on the quilt on the bed.
Just as he put it away, he heard someone knocking on the door. After a few knocks, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Ji Yufei poked her head in, "Brother, you are not asleep yet."
"No."
Hearing her brother's answer, Ji Yufei opened the door and entered the room.
"looking for me?"
Ji Yufei asked curiously, "Brother, did you see Sister Nanxi in the pet store this afternoon?"
Hearing his sister's question, Ji Yanbei said expressionlessly, "I saw it."
"Brother, can you smile at me more? I saw Sister Nanxi posting on WeChat Moments, but I took a screenshot and sent it to you right away."
"Haha." Ji Yanbei laughed perfunctorily and was about to start chasing the man away when he suddenly remembered what happened in the box tonight.
He took out his mobile phone and typed a line of words in the web search bar. Ji Yufei watched her brother's long fingers sliding on the phone, wondering what he was looking at.
After looking for a while, Ji Yanbei put away his phone.
"Yufei, go to Huaxizhibian tomorrow and buy me a pot of gardenia and a pot of Phalaenopsis."
When Ji Yufei heard her brother asking her to buy flowers, her eyes were full of confusion, "Brother, why do you buy these two kinds of flowers? Do you want to grow them? Why don't you buy them yourself?"
The man's peach blossom eyes dimmed a little. He also wanted to buy it himself, but she was avoiding him now, so he didn't dare to get too close.
He was afraid that she would disappear without a trace like she did before.
"Don't worry about it. Just buy it for me. Don't say you bought it for me first."
Although Ji Yufei didn't know what her brother was going to do, she still agreed to it. "I'm helping you like this. Will grandpa and mom and dad beat me if they know?"
Rubbing the cat in his arms, Ji Yanbei said in a deep voice, "Go ahead and hit me. I can't do anything about it. You know, you volunteered to help me."
Hearing her brother's words, Ji Yufei's face turned red with anger. "Brother, do you still have a conscience? If you continue to do this, don't even think about letting me tip you off in the future."
"Sister Nanxi blocked you when she posted on WeChat Moments. Without me, how can you get her news first?"
Seeing his sister's face flushed with anger, Ji Yanbei put down the cat in his arms, patted the bed and asked her to sit down.
"You're really angry! Don't worry, if they beat you, I will plead for you."
Hearing her brother say this, Ji Yufei's face finally looked better, "That's better."
After picking up the phone and taking a look, Ji Yanbei put it down and looked at Ji Yufei, "Remember, don't let other people in the family know about this."
Ji Yufei nodded, "Don't worry."
Before her family knew about her brother and sister Nanxi, she saw her brother secretly looking at sister Nanxi's photos at home, but she didn't tell her grandfather and parents. She has always been a tight-lipped person.
"Okay, you can go now." Ji Yanbei still had things to do, so he started to chase people away.
"Destroying the bridge after crossing it." Ji Yufei muttered and left Ji Yanbei's room.
After Ji Yufei left, Ji Yanbei leaned against the head of the bed, holding the cat in one hand, and with the other hand quickly sent a message to a circle of friends that was only open to someone.
