From this floor of the restaurant, you can see the tall buildings in the city and the colorful city. It is a great place for a date.

　　Most of the people who come here are couples, either lovers or married couples. Groups of three are rare. Of course, they do exist, but they are usually couples in their 40s or 50s with teenage sons, or young couples with small children.

　　Like Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian, two young people with a high school student, this combination is too outstanding. Even the waitress at the front desk was a little unsure. He glanced at the three of them and asked, “Excuse me, who are you?”

　　Ji Xiangzhou glared at Ji Xiangnian. Why did he choose such a western restaurant when there were so many other choices? Now he was regarded as a light bulb.

　　Ji Xiangnian simply ignored Ji Xiangzhou’s gaze and told the waiter that he had already reserved a seat in advance.

　　The three of them sat down to eat. In order to avoid the table being too quiet, Fang Ning asked Ji Xiangzhou about some of his studies: “Your class teacher said that you should participate in a competition next semester, and it is very likely that you will be admitted directly in advance. Is this true? Are you that good?”

　　Fang Ning had participated in competitions before. She had good grades and was among the top 20 in her grade in a key school. But even so, her brain was not as good as those nerds with different and terrifying brain structures.

　　She participated in the physics competition that year, and her results were really terrible.

　　She couldn’t imagine that Ji Xiangzhou, a young boy addicted to games who climbed over the wall to play games, was so powerful.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was quietly cutting steak. His ears turned red at Fang Ning’s praise. “Well, if nothing unexpected happens, Tsinghua University might directly admit me after the competition.”

　　Fang Ning was shocked. As someone who had experienced a tough high school life, she had a special kind of respect and envy for the college genius who was recommended for admission: “Oh my god! You are really that amazing! Then you don’t have to take the college entrance examination, you don’t have to go through the six in the morning and eleven in the evening, you can go directly to college!”

　　Ji Xiangzhou nodded: “Of course, I have done the questions in the previous competitions and always got full marks, so admission should be a 100% certainty.”

　　After he finished speaking, the boy’s cold eyes showed a little more disdain, and he began to answer Fang Ning’s second question: “Who would go to school if they were recommended to study with those poor students who are not smart enough and can’t even solve simple questions like those in the competition? What about you? Were you recommended to university?”

　　When the boy said the last sentence, he was expecting that Fang Ning was the same academic master as him, so that he and Fang Ning would have one more topic to talk about.

　　“…………”

　　The poor student Fang Ning did not want to answer Ji Xiangzhou’s question.

　　Ji Xiangnian watched the conversation between the two people from the side with a faint smile on his lips. He found that the previously taciturn little brother seemed to have changed a lot.

　　What was Xiang Zhou like before? He was taciturn, playing with his phone all day with his head down, ignoring everyone, and the response you got when you spoke to him was always indifferent.

　　Ji Xiangnian cut a piece of steak slowly and leisurely, then raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on Ji Xiangzhou who was chatting with Fang Ning.

　　The young man talked more, and his expression was no longer cold and aloof, but rather had a bit of youthful flamboyance.

　　However, his change seemed to be towards certain people, as if only Fang Ning treated him as warmly as Ji Xiangzhou.

　　If it was him…

　　Ji Xiangnian hadn’t finished speaking in his heart. At this moment, Ji Xiangzhou noticed that Ji Xiangnian had been looking over here. He restrained his enthusiasm when chatting with Fang Ning and said coldly, “Why are you looking at me?”

　　Just eat your own food, why are you looking at him? Just look at whether his stomach is full!

　　Ji Xiangnian sighed. See, if it were him, he would only get such a cold treatment.

　　Knowing that his brother disliked him, Ji Xiangnian could only sigh and continue eating his steak.

　　The meal didn’t take too long. Fang Ning preferred Chinese food to Western food, so her stomach started to protest halfway through the meal.

　　About half an hour later, the two brothers of the Ji family finished their meal, and the three of them got up and went back.

　　But just as they walked out of the door, they met the president of Ji Xiangnian’s cooperative company. The president was in his fifties, and he brought a woman of the same age as him. The two of them were arm in arm, and seemed to be a couple. Standing side by side with the woman was a young girl in her twenties.

　　Seeing Ji Xiangnian, the man in his fifties enthusiastically pulled his wife and daughter over and said cheerfully: “Oh, it really is President Ji, I thought I was seeing things!”

　　Ji Xiangnian’s face didn’t show much emotion, his expression was flat, and his tone was polite but a little distant: “Mr. Li.”

　　Mr. Li didn’t care about Ji Xiangnian’s indifference. As a person who has been in the business world for so many years and the Ji family is such a big family with businesses all over the country, he would go over to greet Ji Xiangnian even if he was older than him: “Hey, I just came out of the next door after dinner and vaguely saw someone who looked like you, so I thought of coming over to say hello to you.”

　　After that, Mr. Li introduced his wife and daughter: “Mr. Ji, this is my wife and daughter, wife, Xiaoyan, this is Mr. Ji.”

　　As he spoke, Mr. Li signaled his daughter to come forward with his eyes.

　　At her father’s signal, Mr. Li’s daughter took a step forward. She was wearing a white fluffy long skirt and was dressed very delicately, like a beautiful girl from a small family. She blinked her big eyes gently, which was very endearing.

　　She lifted her hair, blinked her eyes and stretched out her hand to Ji Xiangnian. Her eyes secretly slid across Ji Xiangnian’s face quickly, with a little girl’s shyness: “Mr. Ji, hello, my name is Li Yanyan.”

　　Ji Xiangnian did not reach out his hand, but instead glanced at Fang Ning’s face.

　　He found that Fang Ning didn’t seem to feel much about it. She just stood there calmly with a blank look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

　　Mr. Li’s daughter’s hand just froze in mid-air. Mr. Li was puzzled and asked tentatively, “Mr. Ji, what are you doing…”

　　Ji Xiangnian retracted his gaze, reached out and shook hands with Mr. Li’s daughter, and apologized, “Sorry, I was a little distracted.”

　　At this time, Mr. Li finally set his sights on Fang Ning and Ji Xiangzhou beside Ji Xiangnian.

　　He knew Ji Xiangzhou’s identity, he was Ji Xiangnian’s younger brother, he had met him at the banquet before.

　　But he found that woman unfamiliar. She was in her twenties, with bright eyes, picturesque features and good looks. She was the same age as Ji Xiangnian’s sister. However, he knew that Ji Xiangnian only had one sister, Ji Xiangyi, who was now in charge of half of the Ji family’s business.

　　Who is this person, the one who is by Ji Xiangnian’s side and can eat with Ji Xiangnian and his brother?

　　There was only one possibility, either she was a relative or Ji Xiangnian’s wife, but he had never heard of Ji Xiangnian getting married?

　　Ji Xiangnian saw that Mr. Li’s probing eyes fell on Fang Ning. He smiled and took Fang Ning’s hand: “Mr. Li, this is my wife, Fang Ning, and this is the boss of the company, Mr. Li.”

　　Fang Ning was distracted from her work by Ji Xiangnian’s hand-holding gesture.

　　She was stunned.

　　The man’s hand had distinct joints and slender fingers, like a work of art.

　　There was something strange in Fang Ning’s eyes. She could clearly feel that Ji Xiangnian’s hands were broad and strong.

　　A burning sensation came from the palm of my hand, and the temperature slowly transmitted from my hand to my heart, causing my heartbeat to accelerate.

　　It was a very strange feeling, not unpleasant, but really very uncomfortable. She tried to struggle free, but the other party held her too tightly.

　　There were a few other people on the opposite side. Fang Ning was able to suppress the discomfort in her heart and nodded politely to Mr. Li, “Hello, Mr. Li.”

　　Mr. Li’s eyes flashed with disappointment. With a young talent like Ji Xiangnian, who wouldn’t want to climb this big tree? Unfortunately, someone has already taken a step ahead.

　　But he didn’t care. His daughter graduated from Ivy League and was pretty. She wouldn’t have to worry about not finding a man from a wealthy family. Thinking of this, the disappointment in Mr. Li’s eyes suddenly disappeared. He smiled and joked, “Why didn’t you tell me that Mr. Ji was getting married? Oh, I’ll give him a gift too. Mrs. Ji is very beautiful and is a good match for Mr. Ji.”

　　Ji Xiangnianyi still held Fang Ning’s hand and said with a smile: “Thank you…”

　　Ji Xiangnian exchanged a few words with Mr. Li, and then took Ji Xiangzhou and Fang Ning back.

　　On the way back, Fang Ning still felt something strange in her heart and she hadn’t calmed down yet. She always felt that Ji Xiangnian’s warmth was still lingering on her fingertips.

　　Fang Ning sat in the passenger seat with the car window open. The cool breeze blew in from outside, silently blowing Fang Ning’s hair up, and the heat in the car subsided a lot.

　　Fang Ning took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and felt the temperature at her fingertips subside a lot.

　　She lowered her eyes and couldn’t help looking towards Ji Xiangnian.

　　Men’s hands are really beautiful, with clear, slender and strong finger bones.

　　It was the most beautiful hand she had ever seen in her life.

　　Ji Xiangnian drove very steadily and went straight all the way. He noticed Fang Ning’s gaze. There was a traffic light ahead, so the car stopped. He subtly cast his gaze on Fang Ning, who was thinking with her eyes lowered.

　　From his angle, he could see Fang Ning’s drooping eyelashes and small nose tip. He didn’t know if it was because of the red wine she had just drunk, but her usually fair face was now flushed, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be looking at his hand.

　　Ji Xiangnian asked with concern: “What’s wrong?”

　　Facing Ji Xiangnian’s question, Fang Ning really wanted to curse, “You bastard, it’s because you are so mean that you pulled my hand for no reason!”

　　Although their marriage contract does have this clause to help ward off extramarital affairs.

　　But can I say it?

　　And it was obviously because Ji Xiangnian made her upset.

　　The other party was as steady as an old dog and asked, “What’s wrong?”

　　Fang Ning was in a very bad mood and was quite depressed, as if the other party had just provoked her slightly, making her feel flustered and unhappy.

　　Fang Ning adjusted her mood, forced herself a smile and said, “It’s okay, I’m just thinking about something.”

　　——

　　When they got home, it was already past six o’clock.

　　Ji Xiangzhou returned to his room to tinker with his game, and Ji Xiangnian went straight into the study to process documents as soon as he came back.

　　Fang Ning originally wanted to read the script, but she couldn’t calm down. However, because she drank some red wine in the western restaurant and Ji Xiangnian grabbed her hand, she felt so hot that she couldn’t read a single word.

　　She was a little confused about what was wrong with her uncontrollable emotions.

　　She had clearly made up her mind that her relationship with Ji Xiangnian would end as a contractual couple, but now her heart was in such a state because of an unintentional hand holding.

　　It’s not like she has never been in love before. She just lacks a man and feels lonely. She was flustered because of Ji Xiangnian’s unintentional action.

　　She is not bad looking. She started dating after graduating from high school. She also had two boyfriends in college. She has no shortage of boyfriends.

　　But now she has fallen to this point… She is speechless about her emotions. Damn, wake up! Male beauty is misleading! ! A love-brained person wants to dig wild vegetables!

　　Fang Ning lowered her eyes and closed the script in her hand in annoyance.

　　There is a swimming pool behind this villa.

　　Fang Ning found her swimsuit from the closet, turned around and went downstairs, walking towards the swimming pool behind the villa, hoping that the cool water would calm her down a little.
