Warm as time, candy as you

Chapter 252
There are not many wealthy families with the surname Ji.

Since Ji Yannan sent that message, she has never heard from him again, but she can guess that his life is not easy.

She didn't intend to ask, and never did.

The past has completely passed.

However, she was still shocked when she suddenly heard that Master Ji had died.

"Miss Si, do you want this cake?" Seeing that Si Niannian was blocking the way and was still in a daze, the girl asked.

Si Niannian came back to his senses, took a piece, and gave way.

"Which Young Master Ji did you just mention?" The two girls started talking again in low voices.

Si Niannian was not far away from her.

"Ji Nianbei."

Si Niannian frowned slightly.

Ji Nianbei... is dead?
"Who did you hear it from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"What happened two days ago, it seems that... the intake was too much." The girl's voice was lowered.

She never heard what they said after that.

Holding a small plate, Si Niannian lightly took a bite of the cake.

She didn't have a deep impression of Ji Nianbei, but she was almost killed by Ji Nianbei. Now that Ji Nianbei is dead in the past month or so?

She couldn't help but look at Gong Jialu in the distance.

Ma Sisi is standing beside Gong Jialu?
Of course there were other people around, and they seemed to be having a happy conversation, and Gong Jialu didn't give Ma Sisi any more ugly looks.

"The Gong family and the Ma family have always cooperated." A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside my ears.

Si Niannian was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the one who spoke...

Ji Yannan.

Ji Yannan is also holding dessert, but I don't know if it's a coincidence, it's all she likes to eat!
Ji Yannan looked at her, and then at Gong Jialu's direction, "The two families are family friends."

Si Niannian looked at him, not seeing him for more than a month, but Ji Yannan had lost a lot of weight, and she didn't know if it was her illusion that his expression was even colder.

"I know." She said lightly.

Seeing her like this, Ji Yannan didn't say anything further, he didn't mean to provoke her.

He just didn't expect to see her here today.

And she looked... really good.

Thinking of the quagmire he was going through, fearing that it would have an adverse effect on her, he didn't intend to stay by her side for too long.

"I'm relieved to see you're all right," he said softly, before putting down the little dish.

Seeing him turning around like this, Si Niannian was a little confused.

Does he still feel guilty about the injuries she suffered because of him before?
"Ji Yannan..."

Ji Yannan turned around gently, with soft eyes, "Huh?"

"It's nothing, what I want to say is that that... didn't blame you." So don't feel guilty anymore.

Ji Yannan knew what she meant, but it was the fact that she was hurt.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, "Those who hurt you will have their own end."

What does he mean by that?
"I just heard that Ji Nianbei is dead?"

Ji Yannan was slightly surprised at her well-informed news, but he didn't mean to hide it, "Yes, the body was just sent back to T City."

It was one thing to hear such words from someone else, but quite another to hear the exact news from him.

Si Niannian looked at him blankly.

Is it a coincidence?

Is it a coincidence? !
She looked at Ji Yannan, and found that she couldn't speak a word.

Reminiscent of what Ji Yannan said just now...

It doesn't sound like a coincidence.

Her eyes could not help falling to his hand.

His hands are slender and well-proportioned, just like Gong Jialu, they both have a pair of artist's hands.

She can be sure that Gong Jialu's hands are clean, because the Gong family will not allow him to do unclean things.

What about Ji Yannan?

She knew that there was no relationship between them, but she still hoped that he would not go astray.

Gong Jialu had mentioned to her that sending Ji Nianbei to prison was too cheap and a waste of national food.

If he hadn't kept the family rules of the Gong family in mind, Gong Jialu would not have let Ji Nianbei go so easily, but he also said that Ji Nianbei would be even worse if he 'sends' Ji Nianbei back to the Ji family.

She didn't understand at first.

Later, she didn't ask in detail, Gong Jialu said that she didn't want to dirty her ears by talking about those things.

The most obvious thing she thought of should be, the Ji family's infighting?

After all, even the newspapers and periodicals are saying that the old man of the Ji family is about to die...

But now, Ji Nianbei is dead?

Following her gaze, Ji Yannan slowly lowered his head and glanced at his hands.

These hands already had double scars, and they were no longer clean and flawless as she thought. He didn't want her to see the scars on his hands, so he unconsciously retracted them behind his back.

But his actions made Si Niannian feel guilty?

He... really moved his hands?

Si Niannian looked at him, but didn't know what to say.

Ji Yannan really wanted to stay and chat with her, but reason told him that he should turn around and leave.

So, without saying anything, he walked away.

Si Niannian stood there, frowning slightly.

Gong Jialu, who was far away, raised his eyes and saw this side, and saw Si Niannian's 'reluctance' towards Ji Yannan.

A sour jealousy rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't stand anymore and walked towards Si Niannian.

As if declaring sovereignty, Gong Jialu reached out to wrap her waist, followed her gaze and looked in Ji Yannan's direction, "What's wrong?"

Si Niannian came back to her senses and looked at Gong Jialu.

Although she knew that he really didn't want to hear the words Ji Yannan, she didn't mean to lie.

After all, Ji Yannan's figure is still there, what's more, the scale of the reception is not big or small, and it is really a matter of turning around if you want to meet him.

"I saw Ji Yannan." She said honestly.

The more she confessed, the more Gong Jialu couldn't care less.

"Oh, he's here to bother you again?" Gong Jialu's expression softened slightly.

Si Niannian felt that his jealousy was inexplicable, so she nudged him lightly with her elbow and said intentionally, "Why is Miss Ma standing so close to you and talking and laughing?"

Jealous, who would not like it.

Gong Jialu immediately surrendered, "I can only stand beside you, Sisi is separated from me by a figure."

"Tsk, Sisi?" It seems that Ma Sisi's apology really took effect immediately.

Gong Jialu: "...No, Miss Ma."

Seeing that he was really nervous, Si Niannian didn't tease him, and brought up something serious, "I just heard someone say that Ji Nianbei is dead."

Gong Jialu raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

He looks like this, have you heard of it?
Si Niannian looked at him, only to see that his handsome face was full of calm, and he was serious enough to allow her to look at him.

"What is your husband doing looking at like this? Is he so handsome that he can't take his eyes off?" The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Si Niannian nodded, "It's very handsome."

"However, you don't know about this?" Si Niannian looked at him seriously.
