Chapter 71: You Have to Compensate Me

Ji Sheng paused, her chest feeling a little stuffy. Thinking about how Nan Yi hadn’t contacted her for so long, her nose felt sour.

After a while, she slowly spoke, her tone light, “With Fu Mama around, he wouldn’t dare to bully me.”

Fu Mama was an experienced person. She could hear the strangeness in Ji Sheng’s voice and knew that she didn’t want to marry Nan Yi, so she went to Nancheng. “Little Ji Sheng, if you don’t want to marry him, then don’t. Fu Mama will make the decision for you. What does it matter if you’ve been childhood sweethearts? As long as our Sheng Sheng doesn’t want to, she won’t marry him. Besides, that boy Nan Yi isn’t worthy of you.”

Nan Yi: “…”

He had just washed his hands and came to the dining table. He heard everything his mother said. If it weren’t for DNA, he seriously doubted if he was a free gift with a phone recharge.

“Fu Mama, I don’t want to marry him, it’s just that I haven’t made up my mind…” Hearing Fu Mama’s words, Ji Sheng felt very touched.

The Nan family was her second home. During her rebellious period, when she had conflicts with her parents, she would go to the Nan family to stay for ten days or half a month. Fu Mama treated her like her own daughter.

Fu Mama handed the phone to Nan Yi, “Little Ji Sheng is looking for you.”

Nan Yi paused, holding his chopsticks. After a long time, he finally took the phone.

Ji Sheng: “…”

She didn’t say she wanted to find Nan Yi, did she?

Nan Yi took the phone, got up, walked to the yard, and his voice was light and faint, as if he was talking to a stranger, “What do you want?”

His voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

His cold, emotionless voice was like a thorn, piercing Ji Sheng’s heart.

Ji Sheng was stunned for a long time. When she spoke again, she didn’t even realize her voice was choked, “I’m fine.”

The words reached her lips, but in the end, they turned into the three words “I’m fine.”

Nan Yi’s brows furrowed slightly, “If you’re fine, I’ll hang up.”

“Wait.” Ji Sheng’s voice was a little urgent. She had finally contacted him after so long, “Are you really ignoring me?”

Even through the phone, Nan Yi could hear the thick grievance in her voice.

He sighed softly, “I’m not ignoring you.”

“Then why didn’t you answer my calls? And you didn’t reply to my messages either?”

“Little Ancestor.” Nan Yi sighed helplessly, “Didn’t you say you needed time to think it over? I was afraid of disrupting your thoughts.”

Ji Sheng sniffed, “Anyway, I don’t care. You’re not allowed to ignore me anymore.”

Nan Yi chuckled helplessly, “Yes, Little Ancestor.”

Ji Sheng’s mood went from gloomy to sunny, “I don’t care, you have to compensate me.”

Nan Yi: “…”

It was clearly this little girl who ran to the neighboring Nancheng to avoid him, and now she wants compensation. Shouldn’t it be him who wants compensation?

“What do you want?”

“I want a princess dress designed by Angel Master. My sister-in-law has one, and I want one too.”

“Okay, Little Ancestor.”

When she hung up the phone, Ji Sheng couldn’t help but smile. She knew that Nan Yi wouldn’t ignore her.

——

Ruan Yu had been recuperating for a few days, and her body was fine. Time Imprint was also short-staffed, so she went back to the shop to help.

“You look great.” Mu Luo Xi teased Ruan Yu, “Our A Yu is getting more and more beautiful. I’m even tempted.”

At this time, Ji Sheng also arrived. She had a faint smile on her lips as she walked. Mu Luo Xi’s gaze fell on her, “Little Ji Sheng, are you in love? You’re smiling so happily.”

Ji Sheng immediately retracted her smile, her face slightly flushed. Mu Luo Xi looked at her meaningfully, “Something’s going on.”

Ruan Yu crossed her arms and looked at Mu Luo Xi, one hand resting on her chin, “Sister Luo Xi seems different today.”

Ji Sheng nodded in agreement, “Yes, she’s different.”

Ruan Yu circled her, her gaze scanning her up and down, “Tell the truth, what happened between you and Lu Jing Zhou last night?”

Ji Sheng was surprised, “Lu Jing Zhou is back?”

This time, it was Mu Luo Xi’s turn to be uncomfortable. In the end, under the scrutinizing gazes of Ruan Yu and Ji Sheng, she confessed what had happened last night.

After listening to Mu Luo Xi’s story, Ji Sheng angrily slammed her fist on the table and stood up, “That Li Ze, it seems like the lesson he got wasn’t enough. He dared to… Sister Luo Xi, are you hurt?”

Mu Luo Xi shook her head lightly. She felt warm in her heart. She was a different kind of person from Ruan Yu and Ji Sheng, but they became good friends. They gave her care and encouragement.

“I’m not hurt.”

Ji Sheng didn’t sit down. She turned and walked towards the door. Ruan Yu called out to her, “Little Ji Sheng, where are you going?”

“To help Sister Luo Xi get revenge.”

Mu Luo Xi smiled. Don’t underestimate Ji Sheng, who was a pampered little princess since she was a child. She never hesitated to do things. She always got revenge, and she was even more loyal to her friends.

“Okay, Little Ji Sheng, come back. That scumbag Li Ze was locked up by Lu Jing Zhou. He probably won’t be able to get out for the rest of his life. It’s a fitting punishment for him.”

Ji Sheng walked over and sat beside Mu Luo Xi, “With my brother’s ability, he could pull him out of prison, beat him up, and then put him back in. It’s too easy on that scumbag.”

Ruan Yu was amused by Ji Sheng’s spirit of revenge, “You silly girl.”

Mu Luo Xi naturally believed in Gu Yan Zhi’s ability, but she didn’t want to waste time on a scumbag. He wasn’t worthy.

“Should I have someone bring him out now, let Miss Ji beat him up, and then put him back in?”

Ji Sheng didn’t even think, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Mu Luo Xi and Ruan Yu looked at the source of the voice at the same time.

Looking at the gentle and jade-like man, Ruan Yu politely said, “Brother Jing Zhou, good morning.”

Mu Luo Xi’s expression wasn’t so good, “Why are you here?”

Ji Sheng turned around and greeted him politely. Lu Jing Zhou nodded at her.

“I came to have coffee. Is there a problem?” Lu Jing Zhou looked at Mu Luo Xi with a playful smile.

Ruan Yu smiled, her gaze lingering on Lu Jing Zhou and Mu Luo Xi, “No problem, Brother Jing Zhou, please have a seat.”

Ji Sheng was about to make coffee, but Lu Jing Zhou stopped her, “I’d rather have coffee made by Miss Mu.”

Ji Sheng understood immediately. Ruan Yu pulled her aside, giving them some private space.

Mu Luo Xi looked at Lu Jing Zhou’s smiling lips and was speechless. She seriously suspected that this man was deliberately messing with her.

“Miss Mu, you wouldn’t be unwilling to make a cup of coffee for your savior, would you?” Lu Jing Zhou’s gaze lingered on her angry face.

Okay.

Very okay.

Mu Luo Xi gritted her teeth and stood up. This man was taking advantage of the fact that he saved her twice. She forced a smile, “What would Mr. Lu like to drink?”

“A cappuccino, please.”

He leaned back on the sofa, his long legs crossed, lazy and casual.

Ji Sheng had been observing the situation, “Sister-in-law, why don’t Sister Luo Xi and Brother Jing Zhou get together if they clearly like each other?”

“They will definitely be together.” Ruan Yu said with certainty, “It’s just a matter of time. Your Sister Luo Xi experienced some bad things when she was young, and she just can’t figure it out for now.”

Ji Sheng nodded, seemingly understanding.
