deadly mantra

Chapter 446: How many troubles have you done?

Ji Fanyin's red lips parted slightly, showing a surprised look:

"I thought... Leader Bao would cut me, this uninvited junior, into seven or eight pieces and throw him out of here."

Bao Yide was once again blocked by her and speechless:
"..."

Ji Fanyin smiled sweetly and said:
"I never expected that Senior Bao would take the initiative to chat with me passionately."

Bao Yide said stiffly:

"...It's not a matter of enthusiasm, just curiosity."

Ji Fanyin shrugged slightly, not caring about Bao Yide's attitude at all, and replied:

"Well, I have many reasons for Leader Bao's question, but I don't know which one Leader Bao is willing to listen to."

"Ha! Such a loud tone. How can I, Bao Yide, tolerate your disdain for my daughter!" Bao Yide's protective heart was aroused: "I want to hear how many reasons you have for not being friends with Simu."

Ji Fanyin rested her face on her hands at the table, as if thinking about this question. After a while, she asked:

"She is the daughter of Alliance Leader Bao. Do I have to be friends with her?"

Bao Yide was about to say "Of course" when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the stage downstairs from the corner of his eye. When he remembered where this place was, his eyes couldn't help but become a little darker, and the arrogance in his body also subsided by half. I also swallowed the words:
"Simu is kind-hearted, a lively, lovely and sincere child. No one will dislike her."

After a pause, he added abruptly:
"Even if she were here, she would still like children like Simu."

Ji Fanyin's lips trembled slightly, and a sneer slowly emerged. She turned her head, held her chin in one hand, and looked downstairs:

"I am also sincere to others and kind-hearted. I am more lively and lovely than Bao Simu. But, guess how far can the people with big knives who want my life line up from here? I deal with ten a day, and they line up to register. I’ll have to wait until the year after next.”

Bao Yide's thick eyebrows twitched several times and asked speechlessly:

"How many troubles have you done?"

Ji Fanyin's black eyes were as calm as water, and she said quietly without turning her head to look at him:

"No matter how many troubles I have done, Shui Qingchen still treats me the same. Bao Simu can accept that Shui Qingchen doesn't like her, but she may not be able to accept that the person Shui Qingchen likes is me." Bao Yide said:

"Impossible. Simu is a tolerant and generous child."

Ji Fanyin's sharp eyes glanced towards the opposite side:
"Has your heart ever been flustered by someone? Have you ever been in love? Do you know what liking is?"

Bao Yide subconsciously retorted:
"Of course I have!"

The moment the sound fell, Bao Yide came back to his senses and was stunned, feeling a tingling sensation like a needle pricking in the deepest part of his heart.

Ji Fanyin didn't give him too much time to savor it and asked again:
"Since you have it, you know that no matter how magnanimous a person is, there are times when he loses his grace in front of someone he likes."

Bao Yide didn't know what he thought of. His back stiffened and the muscles on his iron arms tightened suddenly. After a long time, he said:
"Sooner or later, the uncomfortable feeling will be forgotten."

Ji Fanyin snorted and laughed.

That laughter contained a hint of sarcasm, which was unexpectedly ear-piercing.

"Why are you laughing?" Bao Yide was really unhappy now.

Ji Fanyin shrugged his shoulders and said in a joking tone:

"No, I just admire the generosity of Leader Bao."

If he was really generous, if he really let go, if he could really forget, would he still be sitting here and listening to boring storytellers now?
It's just... ridiculous.

Ji Fanyin raised his eyes and looked at the stage.

Although she had been away from home for five years, how could she forget that her mother's only hobby was listening to books.

Who does Bao Yide miss here? Do you really think others don't know?
