Ji Yanran didn't notice Shen Shiyue at first, but suddenly noticed Shen Shiyue later.

After all, it would be hard for her not to pay attention later, as her husband was walking shoulder to shoulder with other people, gossiping a lot, as if they were afraid that she couldn't hear them.

Ji Yanran has a strong possessiveness. In her opinion, she does not allow others to touch things that belong to her, including people.

In her eyes, Lu Xingzhou was her own man, so she did not allow anyone to get close to him, especially pretty girls of the same age as her.

Shen Shiyue perfectly occupies two of these points.

Not only is she about the same age, but she is also very beautiful.

The most important point is that Lu Xingzhou will take the initiative to approach Shen Shiyue.

Before Ji Yanran came closer, she heard Lu Xingzhou and Shen Shiyue speak with her own ears.

This made her jealous to the point of wanting to go crazy, but this was a public place, and whether for the sake of her own face, the Ji family's face, or the Lu family's face, she could not lose control at this time.

She had to hold back.

Ji Yanran kept reminding herself in this way in her heart, slowly approaching Lu Xingzhou and Shen Shiyue, and spoke before Jiang Yunting was about to speak.

Lu Xingzhou was very displeased when he heard Ji Yanran's voice, but there were guests gathered around him, and Ji Yanran was the eldest daughter of the Ji family, so he could not completely ignore her.

So Lu Xingzhou paused for a few seconds and then introduced to Ji Yanran, "This is Shen Shiyue. The Shen family and the Lu family often have business dealings."

He did not answer Ji Yanran's question, nor did he confirm what Ji Yanran said.

But since he didn't deny it, Ji Yanran just took it as his consent.

As for the second half of Lu Xingzhou's sentence, its meaning was obvious.

Because the Lu family and the Shen family often have business dealings, his relationship with Shen Shiyue is naturally not bad.

What he meant was very clear.

: Business dealings, please don't disturb.

But Ji Yanran refused. She smiled at Shen Shiyue and pretended to be calm and composed, "Sister Xiaoyue? Hello, I am your brother Xingzhou's wife. You can call me sister-in-law."

Her attitude of a queen meeting a concubine made Shen Shiyue very uncomfortable.

So Shen Shiyue planned to take the initiative to leave this place. She frowned slightly and said with some distress, "Sister-in-law, I'm a little tired after coming back from a busy day. You and Brother Zhou continue chatting. I'm leaving."

In order to act the sickness more realistically, Shen Shi even held Jiang Yunting's arm and walked towards the rest area.

Seeing Shen Shiyue's hand resting on Jiang Yunting's arm very naturally, Lu Xingzhou just felt uncomfortable all over.

Especially when he saw Ji Yanran standing in front of him at this moment.

Lu Xingzhou's already bad mood dropped to the freezing point. His cold eyes and calm tone made Ji Yanran find it extremely difficult to accept. "Can't you be more content?"

Lu Yin was cracking melon seeds when she heard these words. Immediately after Lu Xingzhou finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of cracking melon seeds. Not only did everyone around him hear it clearly, but even Lu Xingzhou himself could hear it clearly.

He frowned and looked towards Lu Yin, just in time to see Lu Yin still hiding the melon seeds.

Lu Yin looked at him with an uncertain look, and it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

But if the other person didn't speak, she wouldn't speak either, as if nothing had happened.

"Am I not quiet enough? You and her have been talking for such a long time and I just came out."

Ji Yanran did not wait for Lu Xingzhou to question Lu Yin, but took the lead.

Her meaning was already very clear. With so many people around, Ji Yanran had to be more restrained in her words.

But Lu Xingzhou didn't think so, "You continue to make trouble unreasonably."

His tone was very cold, just like countless times before. Although she had encountered this countless times before, Ji Yanran still couldn't help feeling sad when she heard such words now.

It seemed like Lu Xingzhou and I were really... not suitable.

Should she just let it go?

But she was unwilling to do so.

This was the first time she had loved someone so much. In order to marry him, she had lowered her face to ask her father to arrange marriage with the Lu family. She also endured the pain of pregnancy and childbirth for ten months and gave birth to a child for Lu Xingzhou.

Maybe Lu Xingzhou doesn't like this child at all.

It could also be that Lu Xingzhou simply doesn't like himself.

The people who had gathered in a circle around had already dispersed, but Ji Yanran still stood there, with her head lowered, and there was no light in her eyes.

Lu Yin, who was cracking melon seeds with gusto, now dropped all the seeds in her hand to the ground. She glanced at Ji Yanran, who had been standing there for a long time without moving, and frowned.

"Xiaoyu, take this to your mother."

She picked up a small piece of cake from the dining table and handed it to Lu Zeyu, speaking casually, as if she was giving him an errand.

Ji Jingshen, who was about to do something, stopped and did not continue with his previous action.

Lu Yin noticed this and raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Give the gift right away."

Ji Jingshen did not tell the truth, he just made up an excuse and stood not far from Lu Yin.

After taking the small cake handed to him by Lu Yin, Lu Zeyu hesitated for a long time before taking any action.

He walked towards Ji Yanran in small steps. His pace was not very fast, but because the distance was not far, he reached Ji Yanran's side after a dozen seconds.

He raised his other free hand and pulled Ji Yanran's sleeve. His voice was not loud, but loud enough for Ji Yanran to hear, "Mom, eat cake..."

Lu Zeyu's voice was timid, which was not the case when he spoke to Lu Yin. He did not have much intimate contact with his mother, and in his limited memory, Ji Yanran did not treat him very well.

But even so, Lu Zeyu did not refuse after taking the small cake handed to him by Lu Yin.

Just because that person is his mother.

Ji Yanran's mind was wandering, and when she felt someone pulling her sleeve, her subconscious reaction was to pull her sleeve back.

Because of the big movement, the unstable cake plate that Lu Zeyu was holding with one hand was knocked to one side. Because of this, the small cake in Lu Zeyu's hand fell to the ground and was covered with dust.

Looking at the cake rolling on the ground, Lu Zeyu could no longer hold the empty plate in his hand and let it spin and float to the ground.

At this moment, Lu Zeyu was dumbfounded and could not find any excuse for Ji Yanran. He could only watch in amazement.

Until a warm hand was placed on my shoulder.

Lu Zeyu suddenly came back to his senses and felt that he had met his own backer in an instant.

He didn't look back or ask who the person was, because he knew very well who it was.

Who else could it be but Lu Yin?

The other person's palm was not big, but it was warm, and it quickly dispelled the chill rising from Lu Zeyu's feet.

"You're still losing your temper with a child at this age?"
