Ji Xiangzhou’s parents’ meeting starts at 10 a.m.

　　Fang Ning got up at 8:30. Because of what happened last night, Fang Ning had big dark circles under her eyes and looked tired. It was obvious at a glance that she did not sleep well last night.

　　When Fang Ning got up, Ji Xiangnian had already gotten up.

　　He was wearing sportswear and walked towards me steadily from outside the door. You could tell at a glance that he had just returned from a morning run. He was sweating profusely, with sweat from his forehead sliding down his cheeks and finally dripping onto his neck.

　　Fang Ning raised her eyes slightly, and Ji Xiangnian just walked in, and their eyes met.

　　Fang Ning looked into Ji Xiangnian’s deep eyes, her expression slightly stunned. The moment Ji Xiangnian saw Fang Ning, his body paused slightly. When their eyes met, neither of them reacted.

　　There was suddenly an indescribable feeling of anxiety and ambiguity in the air.

　　At this time, the housekeeper came out and saw that both of them had gotten up. He said hurriedly, “Sir, Madam, you are both up. Breakfast is ready in the kitchen.”

　　Hearing the voice, Fang Ning was the first to react and avoided Ji Xiangnian’s blank gaze.

　　Then she quickly recovered her composure and tried to joke in a normal tone: “Mr. Ji, are you going out for a morning run?”

　　In fact, for Ji Xiangnian, she had sorted out her thoughts after spending two hours last night.

　　If we ignore Ji Xiangnian’s family and only look at his career, he is indeed very outstanding, capable, wealthy, and most importantly, he looks good, especially those two long legs that are very seductive.

　　This condition is indeed very attractive.

　　But so what.

　　Fang Ning’s eyes showed some determination. In the plot, not only did he not develop feelings for “herself”, he was also the culprit for “her” tragic end.

　　Moreover, from the moment she entered the book until now, her goal has been to make money. Of course, this may be too materialistic, but the fact is that if a relationship can be resolved with money, why bother involving feelings.

　　If we really get emotionally involved now, it will only become a mess later.

　　She has never been one to hesitate or waver.

　　This man’s conditions really made her excited.

　　But he was not the right person for her, so she had to make the final decision.

　　Her mind would not allow her to stop and waste precious time on this man.

　　The best strategy is to follow the contract between him and original owner now, and then get divorced, take the money and leave.

　　She sets herself up as a wife who only talks about money and not love.

　　Thinking to this point, Fang Ning’s heart has tilted towards rationality. She has made a decision, and all the romantic feelings she had from last night have disappeared.

　　At this moment, Fang Ning was ready to face Ji Xiangnian as usual. Seeing that Ji Xiangnian didn’t say anything, Fang Ning smiled and asked again, “Mr. Ji, have you had breakfast?”

　　Fang Ning’s mood changed so quickly that Ji Xiangnian seemed to have noticed something and his eyes gradually darkened.

　　His gaze intensified a little on Fang Ning’s cold face.

　　His tone was indifferent, and it was hard to tell his emotions: “Well, I just got up and went out for a run. I haven’t had breakfast yet, and I’m sweating all over. I’ll go upstairs to change clothes before coming down.”

　　Fang Ning nodded, pointed to the restaurant, turned around and walked into the restaurant.

　　Fang Ning’s figure gradually moved away from Ji Xiangnian’s figure.

　　Ji Xiangnian did not move, but sighed heavily, his eyes unclear.

　　As for Fang Ning, he thought about it all night and didn’t sleep all night.

　　He thought a lot, for a long time, about himself and Fang Ning, and the age difference between them.

　　Think about their worldview and family matters.

　　In fact, Ji Xiangnian has his own scale for love and marriage.

　　To be honest, Fang Ning is not his ideal type.

　　Compared to the lively Fang Ning, he may prefer gentle and quiet girls.

　　Before yesterday, he had never thought of including Fang Ning in the scope of his future partner.

　　Seeing that Fang Ning’s figure had disappeared, Ji Xiangnian turned around and walked up the stairs slowly with steady steps.

　　It’s not like he hadn’t met the type of his ideal partner before. The people around him had introduced quite a few girls to him, some of whom were gentle, quiet and gentle.

　　He had tried hard before, but he could never go any further, even like this.

　　But he never thought that Fang Ning would be the one who gave him a different feeling.

　　He seemed to have overlooked one point: emotions can be controlled, expressions can be controlled, but feelings cannot be controlled.

　　Sometimes it comes so suddenly and without any warning.

　　It can’t be stopped, nor can it be ignored.

　　To be honest, he didn’t reject Fang Ning, but he hadn’t had any other ideas before.

　　But today, he had different thoughts. In more than 30 years, no one had ever given him such a feeling.

　　That sudden feeling was very strange. Although it made him irritated, it made him feel a kind of passion and anticipation in his heart.

　　This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

　　He never avoided anything. He never avoided or ignored the sudden passing of his parents or the serious difficulties encountered by the company.

　　Of course, the other party Fang Ning felt the same way. He didn’t need to hide or conceal any feelings.

　　Ji Xiangnian walked halfway up the stairs, stopped, and slowly turned his gaze towards the restaurant.

　　From his angle, he could just see Fang Ning’s profile as she sat at the dining table. She lowered her eyes and drank milk. The sunlight shone in through the window and fell on Fang Ning’s body, making her look peaceful and bright.

　　Ji Xiangnian’s dark eyes were unfathomable. He and Fang Ning had already obtained a marriage certificate, so was this a chance for him to be one step ahead of others?

　　————

　　After Ji Xiangnian changed his clothes and came down, the two of them had breakfast and then set off to the school for a parent-teacher meeting for Ji Xiangzhou.

　　Originally, they wanted the driver to drive to school, but when Fang Ning changed her clothes, went downstairs and walked to the garage, she saw Ji Xiangnian sitting in the driver’s seat of the car she usually drove.

　　The passenger door had also been opened, as if waiting for her arrival.

　　The other party had already opened the car door, obviously wanting her to sit in the passenger seat.

　　In the current situation, it would be even more embarrassing if she went to the trouble of sitting in the back.

　　Fang Ning sat in the passenger seat confidently, fastened her seat belt and asked, “Isn’t Uncle Zhou driving today?”

　　Uncle Zhou is the driver that the Ji family often drives.

　　Ji Xiangnian didn’t even move his eyes, and said calmly: “Uncle Zhou just told me that his son, who has been working away from home for many years, is coming back with his grandchildren today, so he wants to take a few days off.”

　　Fang Ning suddenly realized: “So that’s how it is.”

　　If Fang Ning paid more attention to the conversation between the housekeeper and the driver at Ji’s house, she would see through Ji Xiangnian’s clumsy lie at the first sight.

　　Because Uncle Zhou only has an only daughter and no son.

　　So this time, there were only Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian attending the parent-teacher meeting.

　　On the way, the two chatted casually, but as they were chatting, Fang Ning fell asleep because she had gone to bed late the night before.

　　Just at this moment, there was a red light ahead.

　　Ji Xiangnian held the steering wheel with both hands and glanced sideways at Fang Ning who was dozing off on the seat.

　　Maybe it was because the car had just been driving so smoothly and comfortably that Fang Ning woke up as soon as the car stopped.

　　She looked up, drowsy, and looked ahead with blurry eyes, and said weakly, “Have we arrived at school yet?”

　　Ji Xiangnian calmly turned his gaze from Fang Ning to the traffic light ahead: “It’s a traffic light. It’s still some distance to school. You can sleep a little longer. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”

　　Fang Ning rubbed her eyes and forced herself to be alert: “It’s okay, I closed my eyes for a while and now I feel much better.”

　　Ji Xiangnian didn’t say anything. He just looked straight ahead, tapping the table with his fingers intermittently.

　　The green light came on and the car started slowly.

　　It was at this time that Ji Xiangnian suddenly said in a low and calm voice: “Are you free tonight? Let’s go out for dinner together.”

　　Fang Ning glanced sideways. From her angle she could only see Ji Xiangnian’s profile. His facial lines were smooth, his nose was high, and his eyes were looking straight ahead. He did not show much emotional fluctuation.

　　Fang Ning was a little confused by the sudden invitation to dinner: “I don’t have anything else to do tonight.”

　　Seeing that Fang Ning did not give a clear answer, Ji Xiangnian steered the wheel and explained in a steady tone: “Nothing else, I’m sorry for troubling you with Xiang Zhou’s matter some time ago, so I’d like to treat you to a meal as a thank you.”

　　After hearing this, Fang Ning understood. She covered her mouth lightly, yawned, and nodded: “Okay.”

　　———

　　Because Fang Ning had been here once a few days ago, and she had a very good memory, so after coming here once, Fang Ning could basically remember the locations of some of the school’s teaching buildings.

　　Soon, Fang Ning took Ji Xiangnian to find the conference room for the parents’ meeting.

　　The conference room is specially used for parents to hold parent-teacher meetings.

　　The two of them seemed to have arrived a little late, but the head teacher had not arrived yet and the seats in the front were already mostly occupied.

　　The two chose the back seat.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was seventeen or eighteen years old, so the parents were generally in their forties.

　　There are very few parents as young as Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian.

　　So as soon as the two of them entered, they attracted the curious gazes of the people present.

　　The parent who was chatting in front of the two turned around and asked, “You two are also here for a parent-teacher conference for your children.”

　　Ji Xiangnian had never had the experience of a parent-teacher meeting with a whole class of parents before, so he was amazed at how enthusiastic the parents were. He nodded and smiled and responded, “Yes, my younger brother is in this class.”

　　The two parents in front suddenly realized: “Oh, so that’s how it is. I was wondering, how could there be such a young parent? How young must they be to have a child? It turns out that this is my younger brother.”

　　”Then you are quite competent as brother and sister.”

　　Fang Ning: “…………”

　　As luck would have it, the head teacher had called the students to the parents’ meeting today. The students came in one after another. Ye Yang, who came with Ji Xiangzhou, saw Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian and shouted, “Hey! Brother Zhou, your brother and sister-in-law are here!”
