Ji Mingxuan had already booked a seat, and the box was quite spacious, more than enough for four people.
After Zhao Yi sat down, he glanced at Ji An’an and Shen Mo and said, “Mr. Ji, won’t you introduce me to them?”
Ji Mingxuan pointed at Ji Anan and said, “My sister.”
But he did not introduce Shen Mo.
”It turned out to be Miss Ji.” Zhao Yi waited a long time for the next word, so he could only guess, “Is this Miss Ji’s boyfriend?”
Ji Anan burst out laughing.
”Wrong,” Ji Mingxuan lowered his head to look through the menu and said slowly, “This is the future Mrs. Ji.”
Zhao Yi’s smile froze on his face.
Even Ji Anan almost choked on the tea.
However, Zhao Yi had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had seen the world after all. He quickly adjusted himself and said, “Mr. Ji really loves to joke.”
Ji Mingxuan did not refute, he just threw the menu on the table and said, “Order.”
Ji Anan and Shen Mo were both visiting this restaurant for the first time, so Zhao Yi ordered a few dishes and asked about their tastes: “You must order the signature dishes of this restaurant… Miss Ji, can you eat spicy food?”
Very versatile.
Shen Mo was far behind and just drank tea on the side.
Ji Mingxuan’s joke just now scared the others, but he was the calmest one. Three years ago, after he was discharged from the hospital, he signed an agreement with Ji Mingxuan. Of course, everything was perfunctory, even the rings on their hands were bought by Ji Mingxuan’s secretary.
Shen Mo was in a trance at the time, feeling that everything was like a dream, and there was no sense of reality. He even thought, fortunately Zhou Yang was not a fickle playboy, otherwise Ji Mingxuan would have to get married many times for his sister’s happiness?
The restaurant served dishes very quickly and the dishes tasted good, especially the signature roasted pork, which was golden yellow, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy. Ji Anan praised the dish highly. When she heard that Zhao Yi was a star, she became curious and couldn’t help asking about some entertainment gossip.
Zhao Yi is also good at speaking. He can describe a very boring thing vividly and interestingly, making Ji Anan laugh non-stop.
It was during their chat that Ji Mingxuan asked, “An An, how was your shopping today?”
Ji Anan said: “Thanks to Brother Shen’s help, I have already bought a gift for Zhou Yang.”
Ji Mingxuan glanced at Shen Mo and said, “So you’re buying a gift for Zhou Yang.”
Ji Anan hurriedly took out the cufflinks she had bought earlier and said, “I bought one for you, too, big brother.”
He added, “This was chosen by Brother Shen.”
Just as Shen Mo was about to clarify, Ji Mingxuan had already quietly opened the package and put on the cufflinks.
Zhao Yi praised him and said, “Mr. Shen has a good eye.”
Ji Mingxuan smiled and said, “It’s so-so.”
This meal was quite enjoyable.
During this time, Ji Anan went to the bathroom and Ji Mingxuan went out to answer a phone call, leaving only Shen Mo and Zhao Yi in the box.
Zhao Yi said, “Is today’s food not to your liking? Mr. Shen seems to eat very little.”
”No, I don’t eat much.”
Zhao Yi’s eyes fell on Shen Mo’s left hand and said, “It looks like the same ring that Mr. Ji wears.”
Shen Mo was unsure whether he should admit it, so he just responded vaguely.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.
Zhao Yi poured some water into his cup and suddenly asked, “Does Mr. Shen live in the house in Jinxiu Villa?”
Jinxiu Villa is located in the prime area of H City, and the housing prices are shockingly high. Shen Mo doesn’t have much savings, so of course he can’t afford to buy a house there, not to mention that he has been living in Ji Mingxuan’s villa since three years ago. There is nothing to hide about this matter, Shen Mo said truthfully: “No.”
Zhao Yi smiled immediately. He was already good-looking, and with this smile, the room was filled with even more light.
Shen Mo asked curiously, “Why did Mr. Zhao suddenly ask this?”
”It’s okay,” Zhao Yi blinked and said, “I recognized the wrong person.”
Zhao Yi stopped talking and didn’t say anything more.
It took Shen Mo a while to come to his senses. He dared to love Ji Mingxuan, who also had a house in Jinxiu Villa, and the person who lived there was Zhao Yi’s real enemy. As for him… I’m afraid Zhao Yi would think that he was not qualified to be a rival after judging him.
The heating in the box was too strong and Shen Mo felt a little stuffy.
Ji Anan just came back from the bathroom, and Ji Mingxuan finished his phone call and settled the bill. He said, “It’s getting late, let’s go first.”
The parking lot is a bit far away.
There was a cool breeze at night, and Shen Mo’s ears turned red from the wind as he stood by the roadside waiting for the driver to drive over. Ji Mingxuan happened to be standing next to him, and he naturally grabbed one of his hands and stuffed his own hand into his pocket.
Shen Mo was awkward for a moment: “Mr. Ji.”
Ji Mingxuan acted as if nothing had happened and asked him, “What’s the matter?”
”……nothing.”
Shen Mo looked at Zhao Yi standing not far away, and really didn’t understand what Ji Mingxuan was thinking. Could it be that his life lacked excitement, and he wanted to have some fun and watch his lovers fight? Shen Mo weighed his own strength and felt that his bed skills must be of medium to low level, but he seemed to be okay in fighting.
He was just thinking about which fist to throw first when fighting with Zhao Yi, when he felt Ji Mingxuan shaking his hand and asking, “When is Zhou Yang’s birthday?”
Shen Mo’s heart was in a knot, and he answered reflexively, “I don’t remember.”
Ji Mingxuan nodded and asked, “What’s your birthday?”
Of course Shen Mo could answer this question, but after he finished answering, Ji Mingxuan asked, “What about my birthday?”
Shen Mo was speechless.
He never dreamed that Ji Mingxuan would test him like this. Mr. Ji could easily tell him his birth date, but he didn’t have such a good memory.
The night was hazy. Ji Mingxuan turned sideways and looked at him, his dark eyes reflecting the most moving night scene of the city.
Shen Mo’s palms were about to sweat.
Ji Mingxuan suddenly smiled, let go of his hand and said, “I knew you couldn’t remember it.”
At this time, the driver had already driven over. Ji Mingxuan opened the door for Ji Anan and said, “Be careful on the road.”
”Brother, aren’t you going back with us?”
”I also want to send Zhao Yi off.”
After Shen Mo got into the car, Ji Mingxuan slammed the door shut and gestured to the driver. The car started slowly, and Shen Mo sat in the back seat, watching Ji Mingxuan’s figure getting smaller and smaller through the rearview mirror.
He hurriedly made up his homework on the way and asked Ji Anan about Ji Mingxuan’s birthday in a roundabout way.
Ji Anan said: “Big brother’s birthday is the easiest to remember, it’s the day of his 18th birthday. Why? Big brother Shen started preparing gifts so early?”
Shen Mo smiled and thought, Ji Mingxuan has everything he has, and Ji Mingxuan also has everything he doesn’t have, so what else can he give him?
He went to sleep thinking about this question that night, but the next night, Ji Mingxuan did not come back. Zhao Yi was on the entertainment news, and a reporter squatted downstairs of his house and took a blurry photo.
The title of the news was very eye-catching, but it did not have much substantive content and only sparked a round of verbal battles between fans and haters online.
Ji Anan studied the photo carefully, then said with relief, “It’s not Big Brother.”
In fact, the photo only captured the backs of the two people, and it was a night with very poor lighting, so it would be a miracle if he could recognize Ji Mingxuan. But Ji Anan still comforted Shen Mo: “Brother should be busy with work, he and Zhao Yi are just ordinary friends.”
Shen Mo put on a smile and said, “Of course.”
