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

Facing Ji Yanli's gaze, Lin Xu's eyes flickered, a trace of guilt appeared on his face, and he laughed dryly: "I... I'm kidding."

Ji Yanli smiled, his eyes resting on her, "Really? It sounds like a pity to me."

"Absolutely not!" Lin Xu shook his head wildly, his eyes determined.

Ji Yanli let out a light laugh, took her wrist and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Her voice trembled a little.

"I'll take you to try it and see whether the young man's abdominal muscles are better or mine are better." Ji Yanli laughed softly.

Ji Lanyue watched Lin Xu being dragged away by Ji Yanli with tears in her eyes, and prayed silently for her in her heart.

I hope my mother won’t be tortured too much by my father.

She muttered to herself, and when she turned around, she saw Zhao Jiayan not far away.

Zhao Jiayan looked at her with a somewhat stiff expression. She was a little surprised. "Are you here to see me?"

"I wanted to come over and help you with the work." Zhao Jiayan said.

Ji Lanyue's eyes curved up, and just as she was about to say something, she heard Ji Tingyang say to her, "Let's go and receive the guests. And you want to like a few more handsome guys, so I'll introduce them to you."

"My requirements are very high. He must be at least as handsome and mature as his father." Ji Lanyue turned around and curled her lips at Ji Tingyang.

Seeing that Ji Lanyue was about to leave with Ji Tingyang, Zhao Jiayan immediately stopped her, "Wait a minute..."

He looked flustered and anxious.

Ji Lanyue looked back in confusion.

Zhao Jiayan pursed his lips, a moment of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally, as if he had finally made up his mind, he took her hand and left.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" His steps were a little hurried, and Ji Lanyue could only follow hastily.

Only when they were on the empty balcony did Zhao Jiayan let go of her hand.

Just now, when she heard Ji Tingyang wanted to introduce a boy to her, she impulsively pulled her away and wanted to confess her inner thoughts.

But at this moment, Zhao Jiayan began to hesitate again, "I...I have something to tell you."

Ji Lanyue rubbed his wrist and said nonchalantly, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Jiayan's palms were covered with cold sweat. The sticky touch made him even more uneasy. His fingers began to tremble unconsciously. "I want to know...what do you think of me?"

"What do you think of you?" Ji Lanyue blinked, not understanding why he asked this, but still answered truthfully, "A friend with excellent grades, a smart mind, and a very loyal heart. Luckily you protected me when I did something wrong in the past, otherwise I..."

Zhao Jiayan's eyes dimmed.

friend?

Just friends?

"But I don't want to be your friend." Zhao Jiayan's voice was as light as a feather.

Ji Lanyue was stunned for a moment, and then a look of fear appeared on her face, "Aren't you friends with me? Why?"

"Is it because I refused you last time you asked me out, or is it because I went out with my friends and used you as a shield? Could it be..."

"I like you."

Ji Lanyue turned her head frantically, thinking of many reasons why he wanted to break up with her.

However, as soon as Zhao Jiayan finished speaking, Ji Lanyue choked before she could finish her words.

"What... did you say?" She was stunned for a moment.

After taking the first step, Zhao Jiayan's anxiety was completely calmed down.

He looked at Ji Lanyue with a serious expression, "I can't really tell when it started, but by the time I realized it, I had already fallen in love with you."

Ji Lanyue's fingers were entangled, and her face looked a little embarrassed. "But, I always treat you as a friend."

"But I don't want to be your friend forever." Zhao Jiayan said.

Ji Lanyue looked away and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Jiayan was not surprised at this result.

He always knew that Ji Lanyue only regarded him as a friend and had no other thoughts at all.

He also thought about taking it slow. As long as they were together for a long time, she would like him one day.

But when Zhao Jiayan heard that Ji Tingyang wanted to introduce a boy to her, she suddenly felt panicked.

He understood that some things just couldn't wait.

He also knew that his confession would only end in rejection.

"It's okay, I just want to tell you what I think." The corners of Zhao Jiayan's lips slightly raised, "I will work hard to change my impression in your heart from a childhood playmate to a possible dating partner."

Ji Lanyue nodded, her voice stuttering, "Okay... Then I'll go work first, or my brother will call me again to urge me..."

"I'll go with you." Zhao Jiayan followed her out.

"No, no, I can go there by myself." Ji Lanyue shook his head like a rattle, turned around and hurried away.

Zhao Jiayan looked at her frightened expression, paused, and sighed softly.

However, I did not regret confessing to her.

Ji Lanyue trotted back to Ji Tingyang, her red lips slightly parted and breathing heavily.

"Why are you running? Is there a ghost chasing you?" Ji Tingyang raised his eyebrows.

"No, no." Ji Lanyue felt a little guilty.

"There are so many guests here, but you don't behave yourself." Ji Tingyang frowned.

"I'm very steady." Ji Lanyue retorted unconvinced.

Ji Tingyang was too lazy to argue with her. He glanced at the time and said to her, "Since you are so steady, come up with me and talk."

Ji Lanyue's face fell instantly, "I don't want to go. It's so embarrassing to have so many people watching you perform tricks."

Although Ji Lanyue didn't want to go, when she really got on the stage, facing everyone's gazes, she appeared calm and composed.

So when Xiao Yu saw her graceful and elegant appearance, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Xiao Yu and a senior he knew before opened a studio, and a partner sent them an invitation.

Xiao Yu came here with the idea of ​​expanding his network, but he didn't expect to see Ji Lanyue here, and even speaking on the stage.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of people talking.

"Who is that woman above? Why is Ji Shi letting her speak in such an important occasion?"

"Her name is Ji Lanyue, the youngest of the Ji family. Don't offend her, or the people of the Ji family will not let you go."

"So she's President Ji's sister, no wonder."

Xiao Yu was even more surprised.

It’s not because she is a member of the Ji family, but because her name is Ji Lanyue.

No matter what competition big or small in the school, as long as she participated, Ji Lanyue always took the first place.

Xiao Yu was deeply impressed by the name of this person who had always occupied the first place in the competition, but he had no chance to meet this person.

But I never expected that this girl was Ji Lanyue.
