Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 177: The Cold and Noble Prince (31)
When Ning Xi heard Jiang Rou's words, she paused and after a moment, she pulled Jiang Rou from Ji Huaian to behind her, protecting her.
She looked at Ji Huaian with a cold face and said in a mocking tone, "Who did I think it was? It turns out that the heartless and ungrateful man who abandoned our Arou is the prince."
Ji Huaian knew that it was she who saved Jiang Rou, and that she did this for Jiang Rou's own good. He did not get angry at her ridicule. Instead, he bowed slightly to her and said sincerely, "Thank you, young lady, for saving A Rou. I am very grateful." His expression was serious and his attitude was sincere.
Ning Xi regretted what she said. Ji Huaian was not a coward like Ji Mingjin. The man in front of her was powerful. Jiang Rou and she were still living in his house. If she angered him, she would suffer the consequences. Ning Xi had always been able to bend and stretch.
But I didn't expect that Ji Huaian didn't play by the rules. Not only was he not angry about Ning Xi's words, but he was so good-tempered. Now it was Ning Xi's turn to be stuck in words.
Jiang Rou came out at the right time to smooth things over. She stood between the two of them and said to Ning Xi first, "Sister, I misunderstood Huai'an. He was looking for me for a long time. He saw the pieces of my clothes under the cliff, so he searched for me for a long time. That's why he missed me."
Ning Xi knew where the cliff was. It was thousands of feet high and there was miasma under the cliff. It was difficult for even birds to get in, let alone humans. Jiang Rou was lucky enough to land on a protruding rock. If she had really fallen down, she would have been smashed to pieces.
In this way, she really did wrong Ji Huaian, but seeing the heartache in Jiang Rou's eyes when she talked about this matter, Ning Xi felt angry. This dead girl made her so angry that she didn't even mention that she was seriously injured, but she felt heartbroken at the man's few words.
Ning Xi always sticks to the facts. Knowing that he had wronged Ji Huaian, he apologized to him, "I was in a hurry just now and accidentally offended the prince. Please forgive me."
Jiang Rou turned around and grabbed Ji Huaian's hand again and said, "Huaian, Sister Ning Xi." Before she finished her words, Ji Huaian held her hand back and said softly, "I know, I'm not angry. I can't thank Miss Ning enough."
Ning Xi believes that love is ever-changing and should not be taken seriously. She has seen husbands who were loyal to their wives secretly taking their mistresses for prenatal checkups, and she has also seen husbands who cheated and became addicted to domestic violence.
She didn't know how long Ji Huaian's true love for Jiang Rou could last, but now she saw the affection in Jiang Rou's eyes, which made her unable to stop him. She thought, forget it, she would try her best to protect Jiang Rou and not let her get hurt.
Outside the house, a servant called Ji Huaian. Ji Huaian was afraid that Jiang Rou would be talked about, so he couldn't reveal his relationship with Jiang Rou yet.
Before leaving, Ji Huaian said to Ning Xi, "I hope Miss Ning will take good care of Arou." Ning Xi nodded and said, "Of course."
After Old Madam Ji recovered, she thought of holding a banquet to welcome Ji Huaian. After asking Ji Huaian's opinion, she began to prepare hurriedly.
Madam Ji has only one child, Marquis Wu'an. Old Master Ji died early, Marquis Wu'an is far away at the border, and Princess Wenshu lives in Jing'an Temple outside the city. There are only a few masters in the huge marquisate.
In the main hall, Ji Huaian was pulled by Old Madam Ji to sit in the main seat. When Jiang Rou arrived, Old Madam Ji laughed so hard that her teeth were visible.
As soon as Jiang Rou entered the room, she saw Ji Huaian sitting in the seat of honor. They had not seen each other for three days since that day. Noticing his gaze, Jiang Rou looked towards him.
When Old Madam Ji saw her coming, she let go of Ji Huaian's hand and called Jiang Rou over. Jiang Rou walked forward a few steps, bowed to Old Madam Ji and said, "Hello, old madam."
Old Madam Ji smiled and said, "Come here, this is our eldest brother, he is a few years older than you."
Madam Ji's tone was very familiar, but Jiang Rou couldn't be so casual. She bowed to Ji Huaian politely and said, "Greetings, Prince."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Old Madam Ji could say anything, Ji Huaian said, "Grandma is right. Calling me the prince is too unfamiliar. Just call me big brother from now on."
Old Madam Ji thought that Ji Huaian was giving her face, and she smiled even more happily. She also said, "Huaian is right, you are too polite, child."
After Jiang Rou sat down, she could feel the gaze on her that she could not ignore. While Madam Ji was not paying attention, Jiang Rou looked at him. But the man was sitting there upright, looking like a gentleman. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled at her.
When Ji Mingjin arrived, he saw the three of them having a meal together. He said with a wry smile, "It seems I am late."
Ji Mingjin shouldn't have come today. He knew that Ji Huaian didn't like him, but for some reason, he had been particularly impatient since Ji Huaian came back.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Ji's face fell. She said, "Chunruo, go get some more bowls and chopsticks." Then she looked at him and said, "There aren't so many rules for family dinners. Just sit down when you're here."
Ji Huai'an didn't even look at him the whole time. He always treated Ji Mingjin as air. Jiang Rou seemed to sense that the atmosphere was wrong. She didn't look up, but just ate the food in the bowl silently.
Ji Mingjin was upset after failing to find an accuser. Seeing others treating him as air, Ji Mingjin almost couldn't hold back.
After sitting down and watching Jiang Rou eating obediently, Ji Mingjin, out of some unknown mood, picked up the public chopsticks to pick up food for Jiang Rou and said softly, "Sister Jiang is too thin, eat more."
Jiang Rou was shocked by his action. Before she could say anything, Ning Xi behind her said, "Second Young Master, please forgive me. My young lady cannot eat beef since she was a child. If she eats it, she will break out in rashes all over her body." The thing Ji Mingjin picked up was beef.
He hadn't put down his chopsticks yet, but when he heard Ning Xi's words, his expression froze slightly, and then he said softly, "It's my fault. I didn't expect Sister Jiang couldn't eat beef."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ji said, "Chun Ruo, take the beef away." Chun Ruo moved quickly and took the chopsticks in Ji Mingjin's hand away as well.
Ji Mingjin originally wanted to use Jiang Rou to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that Jiang Rou couldn't eat beef. Noticing Madam Ji's gaze, Ji Mingjin blamed Jiang Rou in his heart.
Suddenly he looked into Ji Huaian's eyes. For some reason he saw murderous intent in Ji Huaian's eyes. Usually Ji Huaian treated him as air, but this was the first time.
Ji Mingjin was frightened and stopped acting weird, without any of the arrogance he had when he first arrived.
At night, Jiang Rou had just laid down on the bed when she heard the window opening. Just as she was about to get up, a dark shadow pressed her down on the bed.
Jiang Rou was about to shout for help, but she calmed down after smelling a familiar smell. She was about to ask Ji Huaian why he came here, but her mouth was blocked the next second.
Ji Huaian's kiss felt cherishing at first, but as time passed, his movements became more and more fierce, as if he wanted to tear Jiang Rou into his stomach.
Jiang Rou was picked up by him, sat on his legs, wrapped her arms around his neck, and accepted Ji Huaian's kiss.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Rou felt her lips go numb, and Ji Huaian let her go. The two of them put their foreheads against each other, breathing slightly.
