After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Zhao Jiayan clenched his hands at his sides and his heartbeat gradually became more intense.

He stared at Ji Yuqiao nervously, and felt that all the sounds around him disappeared. The only thing he could hear was his violent heartbeat.

Ji Yuqiao paused, "What do you want to tell me?"

Zhao Jiayan pursed his lips and said as if he had finally made up his mind, "I like you."

These four words were transmitted to Ji Yuqiao's eardrums with great clarity, and the expression on his face suddenly froze, "Wha...what?"

She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and then she whispered mysteriously in his ear: "You lost the game with your friends, are you doing some big dare as punishment?"

Zhao Jiayan chuckled, "No, even if it's just a game, what I say now should be the truth."

Shock crept onto Ji Yuqiao's face again, and her eyes flashed with disbelief.

"I thought I'd made it very obvious that I like you. Are you so surprised?" His smile was tinged with helplessness.

"Is there?" Ji Yuqiao touched his nose.

She tried hard to think about it, and found that she could not recall anything except Lin Xu in her recent memory.

"Actually, I told you this before in the library, but you were in a hurry to leave at that time and didn't hear me clearly. I was depressed for a while." Zhao Jiayan's tone became bitter.

She said that Zhao Jiayan seemed to be talking to her that day, and it turned out that he was talking about this matter.

Ji Yuqiao's expression became a little embarrassed.

Zhao Jiayan took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said again: "I like you, can you let me be your boyfriend?"

Ji Yuqiao's eyes flickered, and her voice weakened a bit, "I'm sorry... I'm not in the mood for that right now."

She just wanted to spend time with her father and mother, and work hard to bring the special prize of the competition back to her mother...

Zhao Jiayan didn't seem to be surprised by this result at all, and the smile on his lips did not diminish. "I was too reckless. I know you don't mean this to me, but I can't help but want to tell you how I feel."

"You don't have to feel too burdened. I will pursue you seriously next time and ask you for an answer."

The serious look on Zhao Jiayan's face was like the scorching sun that burned Ji Yuqiao.

She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, and the noise in the conference hall suddenly became lively.

She looked up and saw Xie Changyan and Lin Xu walking hand in hand on the red carpet under the bright lights, walking towards the center of the venue step by step.

There was applause all around.

Ji Yuqiao's eyes lit up, and she walked towards Lin Xu almost subconsciously.

Zhao Jiayan, who was left behind, smiled helplessly.

Rather than pursuing her, it seems that I need to keep her attention on me first.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Xu and Xie Changyan walked step by step to the stage of the venue.

When Xie Ming looked at everyone and announced their engagement, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, lighting up the entire sky and bringing the cheerful atmosphere of the venue to its climax.

Lin Xu was looking for her three children on the stage. After scanning the venue, she saw Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu in the center of the crowd.

She smiled at them gently, her eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, a gentle and bright smile bloomed on her face, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Ji Tingyang's chest skipped a beat and a tingling warmth flowed through his chest.

He was stunned for a moment, his fingertips rubbing the wine glass in his hand involuntarily, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

The corners of his lips had just started to curve when he heard Ji Zeqiu's voice beside him.

"My mother just looked at me and smiled, and I said that I am the person my mother likes the most." Ji Zeqiu's ears flushed and there was an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

Ji Tingyang glanced at him and said, "Mother is looking at me."

Ji Zeqiu: "I'm already looking at my mother, how could I possibly be looking at you?"

Ji Tingyang: "I looked at him too."

"The person my mother is looking at is me. If you don't believe me, go ask her."

"Oh, no need to ask, it's me."

The two of them were taunting each other, neither willing to give in.

I don't know when Lin Xu came over and asked suspiciously, "Are you two brothers arguing again?"

"..."

The mocking stopped abruptly.

Ji Zeqiu put his arm around Ji Tingyang's shoulders and said, "No, we have such a good relationship, how could we possibly quarrel?"

When he was still young, Ji Zeqiu would take the initiative to pull his hand and hug his shoulders.

But when they grow up, they rarely have such intimate contact.

Ji Tingyang felt uncomfortable for a moment and his body became a little stiff, but he still cooperated with Ji Zeqiu's actions and nodded.

Lin Xu's eyes curved, and she smiled again as if relieved, "That's good, you guys help entertain the guests first, I'll go find Ah Yan."

Seeing that Lin Xu was about to leave again, Ji Zeqiu couldn't help but grumble, "Others forget their mothers after getting a wife, but why do you forget your son after getting a husband?"

His mother came over and said a few words to him before leaving.

"How could I forget you? I came to find you as soon as I got off the stage. I even smiled and greeted you on the stage just now." Lin Xu rubbed Ji Zeqiu's cheek and said with a smile, "Don't be angry."

Ji Zeqiu's eyes were filled with ripples, and he hummed happily: "I knew you were smiling at me, but some people still don't admit it."

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips, looked at her quickly with a somewhat aggrieved look in his eyes.

The alarm bells in Lin Xu's mind rang loudly. With the attitude of keeping things fair, she immediately rubbed Ji Tingyang's head.

"I just glanced at Ze Qiu, and then I looked at you. It's true. Didn't you smile at me? I saw it too."

The expression on Ji Tingyang's face eased a little, and he glanced at Ji Zeqiu provocatively.

Ji Zeqiu was instantly angry, "Even if mother looked at you, she looked at me the longest."

Ji Tingyang said calmly: "That's just your illusion."

"How is that possible!" Ji Zeqiu pulled Lin Xu over and said anxiously, "Mother, tell me, who was the person you looked at the longest just now?"

Lin Xu: "...I, I don't quite remember."

"Then let's change to an easier one. Who do you like better, me or Ji Tingyang?" Ji Zeqiu said.

Ji Tingyang also looked over quietly.

"..." Lin Xu felt a headache for a moment.

Aren’t they tired of asking this question?

How can I keep this bowl of water level?

"I...I..." Lin Xu stuttered.

At this moment, a hand wrapped around her waist and brought her into a strong and warm chest.

Her chin was captured and a gentle kiss was placed on her lips.

Xie Changyan raised his eyebrows provocatively at his two sons, "There's no need to ask such questions. The person she likes most is me."

Ji Tingyang's face suddenly turned cold.

Ji Zeqiu was also so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
