Ever since Ji Fengfan dodged her against the wall that night, Xia Qingqian had thought seriously about it. Since the police hadn't investigated the matter clearly yet, she definitely wouldn't dare to move back home. Her life was at stake. If something really happened, her parents and sister would be so sad. Besides, she didn't want to die young.

So, since it sounded like Ji Fengfan would not bring anyone back recently, she calculated the time and decided to stay for another month and do her job as a cook. If the police still had no results after a month, she would find a house with better security measures and live there instead of staying in the company dormitory.

Afterwards, Xia Qingqian returned to her old self, chattering and noisy, finishing work early every day, preparing dinner on time and waiting for Ji Fengfan to come back, and staying in the apartment to watch movies and read magazines during her rest time, as if the embarrassing things that had happened before had never happened.

The fact that she can finish work early every day is really thanks to her injured leg.

On the day she resumed work, she got up early and went to the set. Because Sister Manni had given her a temporary advertisement, she started work one day later than originally planned. She was a little worried that people would have opinions about her.

Especially Du Zhizhi, she had a lot of scenes with her, and after this week's delay, she would probably be criticized by her again. In addition, Chen Xiaowei had an accident and was replaced, so they had to make up for the previous scenes. Because she was injured and delayed for a week, she was prepared to be criticized by Du Zhizhi before she came.

Unexpectedly, although Du Zhizhi's face was full of unhappiness, she didn't say a word to her. The previous sarcasm was gone, and instead she seemed to avoid her. She only appeared when it was their turn to act. As soon as the director said to take a break, she went straight to her own lounge.

When the director and other staff saw her back, they all came to inquire about her injury, which made Xia Qingqian feel a little embarrassed. It was quite embarrassing to have to rest for a week because of a minor injury.

Blame it on Monsoon Fan.

Lu Licheng didn't show up that day. His filming was almost over, and he seemed to have taken on a new movie, so he didn't have much time to come to the set.

When Yao Xing saw her, she greeted her indifferently as before. The eldest lady was independent and had not changed much.

After a week's break, when she came back, everyone was still the same as before and there was no one finding fault with her anymore. Xia Qingqian immediately felt very friendly. The first day of filming went exceptionally smoothly, and there was not even any night scenes. After filming in the afternoon, the director let her go home.

For several days in a row, she finished work very early. Director Chen always said that her injury had just healed and she didn't need to work so hard. They had time and just needed to shoot according to the schedule. So Xia Qingqian can now go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables and cook dinner.

Fulfilling and happy.

It was Friday again. As soon as Xia Qingqian walked into the vegetable market, she received a call from Ji Fengfan saying that he would not be back for dinner.

"Okay, I got it." Xia Qingqian stopped walking and spoke into the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Qingqian suddenly lost interest, lowered her head, turned around and walked out.

Fang Lu followed her suspiciously and asked, "Sister Qianqian, aren't you going to buy groceries?"

Xia Qingqian replied in a muffled voice, "Well, I won't buy any." She took a deep breath and smiled faintly, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some food at home that I haven't finished eating, so I won't buy any today."

"Oh well."

Fang Lu followed Xia Qingqian's footsteps and walked out of the vegetable market and towards the nanny car.

After the driver dropped her off at Ludu Mansion, Fang Lu followed the driver back.

Xia Qingqian returned to the apartment somewhat dejected, threw herself on the sofa, stared at the ceiling in a daze, not moving a muscle.

Since Ji Fengfan didn't come back for dinner, she didn't seem to want to cook either.

When Ji Fengfan was about to get off work, he saw Tang Yichen’s group message in the group chat, and he tagged a few of them and asked them to go to Qin Hao’s Night Bar for a drink in the evening.

My eldest brother hasn't been in good condition recently, and my second brother Mo Ze has just returned to China. We haven't been together for a long time, so it's time for us to get together.

When they got off work, Qin Hao and Mo Ze were also in the company, so they went downstairs to Ji Fengfan's office to find him and prepared to go there together.

"Fourth brother, are you done with your work? Let's go together. Big brother is already in the bar." Qin Hao had received a message from the waiter that Tang Yichen had been in the bar very early and had ordered a lot of drinks. No one knew what had happened.

Ji Fengfan stood up and looked at Qin Hao and Mo Ze, but Xia Qingqian's bright smiling face kept popping up in his mind uncontrollably.

Recently, the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding in getting along with each other. The apartment that was usually occupied by me became lively because of her.

Listening to her chattering in his ear and her unrestrained laughter while watching TV made him feel peaceful and at ease.

When he called her to say that he would not be back for dinner, she did not ask any questions. This made him feel depressed.

At this moment, he couldn't help thinking about how she would feel lonely eating dinner alone.

"Second brother, third brother, you go first. I have something else to do, so I will be there later." Ji Fengfan said as he walked out in a hurry, as if he really had something urgent to do.

"Okay, then my second brother and I will go first. Xiaowu will go to pick up Wan'er and Qingqing. You finish your work and come over." Qin Hao said.

"I know, third brother."

Ji Fengfan drove at the speed limit all the way back to the apartment. When he opened the door, he saw Xia Qingqian curled up, half lying on the sofa, with a dull expression, as if she had encountered a big blow.

His heart tightened, and even the movement of bending down to change shoes was a little flustered.

"you……"

"you……"

Both men spoke at the same time.

Xia Qingqian came back to her senses when she heard the sound of the door opening. She was stunned as she looked at Ji Fengfan standing at the door.

Didn't this person say he wouldn't come back for dinner?

It's over, she's not prepared for anything!

Thinking of this, Xia Qingqian suddenly stood up from the sofa and asked the person who was still standing at the entrance, "Boss Ji, why are you back..."

Ji Fengfan coughed lightly and took her reaction into consideration.

"I came back to get something."

"Oh."

So that's how it is. Xia Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and almost raised his hand to pat his chest.

If he didn't come back, she suddenly felt that eating alone was boring. She didn't plan to cook, so she would just eat some snacks when she was hungry.

His sudden return really disrupted her plans. If he really didn't have dinner, she couldn't let him eat snacks...

Fortunately, I just came back to get something.

Ji Fengfan changed his shoes and walked into the bedroom, and came out again after a while. Xia Qingqian still stood like a good student. She didn't know what he came back for, after all, he went in empty-handed and came out empty-handed.

Ji Fengfan looked at Xia Qingqian, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and then remembered the scene when he opened the door and came in, and asked, "You haven't cooked dinner yet?"
