Chapter 21
"Grandpa's birthday?" Ji Liang frowned and asked, "When?"

"Next Wednesday." Cheng Yanxi put her hands in her pockets and said, "The [-]th birthday is supposed to be a big event, but in view of grandpa's physical condition, my father and I just want to invite some relatives and friends over for dinner."

Ji Liang nodded, "I see. But there are still a few days left, and I will choose the gift myself, so I'll be leaving first."

"Ji Liang!" Cheng Yanxi roared, "I told you not to leave today!"

"Cheng Yanxi, don't make trouble for no reason." Ji Liang gave him a cold look.

"Making trouble for no reason?" Cheng Yanxi sneered, suddenly pointed her right hand to the door, and said coldly: "Ji Liang, go if you have the ability, and see if you can step out of that door without my permission!"

Ji Liang pursed her lips, "What exactly do you want?"

"I said, go buy a gift for grandpa with me today!" Cheng Yanxi said word by word, "Give grandpa a gift in the name of both of us, because grandpa plans to introduce you to everyone on his birthday! "

After Cheng Yanxi finished speaking, Ji Liang showed a wry smile on his lips, stopped for a moment, and said softly, "Let's go, go buy gifts."

"Ji Liang, don't pretend to be a compromise." Cheng Yanxi smiled ironically, "I am more displeased with Grandpa's arrangement than you are."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yanxi took out her phone, "Xiao Sun, drive to Sijijingdu in 10 minutes."

Ji Liang also took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Wen Jinyan, "Senior, I'm sorry, I can't go to school because of something, I'm really sorry, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

At the main entrance of Jingnan University, inside the cool ice cream shop, Wen Jinyan had already been waiting here when he sent the first text message. When he received the text message that Ji Liang would come, he almost jumped up happily. Even the waiting that he usually hates the most, I also think it's worth it.

A message popped up on the phone again, Wen Jinyan swiped the screen in a panic, with a bright smile on his lips, but after seeing the content, his eyelids sank, and a sad atmosphere shrouded his whole body.

Something came out?

"Well, the most important thing is to be busy with business." Wen Jinyan felt that his fingers had lost strength, and slowly typed text messages with his mobile phone, "But remember to invite me next time!"

jingle……

Siji Jingdu, just as Ji Liang walked out of the unit building, a text message came from her mobile phone. She took it out to look at it, smiled lightly, and didn't return it.

Cheng Yanxi raised her eyebrows to look at her, and looked at Ji Liang's mobile phone screen with treacherous eyes, but she was still a step too late and saw nothing.

There was a Hummer parked at the entrance of the community, with a normal license plate, Ji Liang thought, this shouldn't be Cheng Yanxi's car, right?

"Chief!" Just as he was thinking, Xiao Sun got off the hummer and gave a military salute.

"En." Cheng Yanxi nodded and walked over, "Go back, I will drive myself."

"Yes!"

Ji Liang followed, nodded to Xiao Sun, and asked Cheng Yanxi, "Is this your car?"

"Nonsense!" Cheng Yanxi opened the car door, "Get in the car!"

Just as Ji Liang walked around to the back seat and opened the car door, Cheng Yanxi yelled, "Co-pilot!"

Ji Liang shrugged, walked around to the other side of the car and sat on it.

"Ji Liang, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Cheng Yanxi started the car.

"What am I thinking?"

"Hmph," Cheng Yanxi snorted, grabbed the collar of her T-shirt to shake off the heat from her body, and said, "I bought this car with my own money, and I don't want to wear a military plate."

"I'm not interested in your affairs at all, you don't need to explain." Ji Liang turned his face away and looked out of the car window, which reflected Cheng Yanxi staring at him viciously.

Cheng Yanxi made fun of herself, ignored Ji Liang, took out her bluetooth headset, and made a call.

"Hello?" He Jingrong's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What time is it and you are still sleeping!" Cheng Yanxi roared contemptuously, "What did you do last night?"

"I worked overtime at the company last night! Recently, I was so busy with a cooperation case..." He Jingrong asked, "What are you doing on the phone?"

"How about the Chinese chess set I asked you to order last time?" Cheng Yanxi asked.

"Are you worried about my work? I have already prepared it for you."

"You tell me the address of that store, and I'll pick it up now."

"It's at the antique shop called Ji Ya Zhai on Qingnan Road. You went and reported my name."

"Understood, then I hang up."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

"Anything else?"

"Well, is that Ji Liang you mentioned by your side?" He Jingrong laughed wickedly.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Take a photo for me to see."

"Go away, I'm driving!"

"Stingy ghost! Anyway, I met Grandpa Cheng on his birthday, so it's useless for you to hide it now."

"Where did I hide it?!" Cheng Yanxi was very angry.

"Yes, yes, it's me who treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. However, you are so old, are you embarrassed? Young girl, you just ruined it like this!"

"I'm a teenager in the prime of life! Get lost!" Cheng Yanxi pulled the earphones off and threw them out.

Ji Liang didn't care to listen to Cheng Yanxi talking on the phone, but when he suddenly heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth still lifted uncontrollably.

The car drove quickly to Qingnan Road, Ji Liang looked up at the plaque of 'Ji Ya Zhai' hanging on the antique shop, followed Cheng Yanxi to open the door and enter.

The shop was full of incense, and there were all kinds of antique things. The shopkeeper in front of the wooden counter was wearing a long robe. Seeing them coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a bow, and asked, "What do you two want to see?"

"He Jingrong asked us to come and fetch things." Cheng Yanxi looked around casually while talking.

"You are Cheng Shao!" The shopkeeper understood.

"En." Cheng Yanxi nodded.

"Okay, those two follow me upstairs!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of 'please' and led the two of them up the wooden ladder.

The stairs were too narrow and they couldn't go up side by side, so the store was at the front, and Cheng Yanxi followed behind unceremoniously.

Ji Liang shook her head, she walked at the end, stepped on the stairs, she was walking very carefully, but for some reason she missed it all of a sudden, she opened her arms, staggered and fell backwards, "Ah—"

Cheng Yanxi's ears are particularly good. The moment Ji Liang stepped on the air, he heard some abnormal creaking under his feet. Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Ji Liang shaking and leaning back.

He raised his eyebrows, reached out and grabbed Ji Liang's arm, pulled it violently, and stretched out his hand to hug her.

Ji Liang only felt that she had bumped into a warm embrace, and her hands subconsciously hugged Cheng Yanxi's strong waist. There was a strong heartbeat in her ears, and a faint smell of Cheng Yanxi in her nose.

"Is this girl alright?" the shopkeeper asked worriedly, "I was careless and forgot to remind you that the stairs are difficult to walk."

"It's okay, she's too stupid." Above her head, Cheng Yanxi's tone was a little aggressive, which made Ji Liang lose the desire to thank him in an instant.

Seeing that Ji Liang didn't move, Cheng Yanxi thought she was frightened, put her right hand around her waist, grabbed her under his arms, and carried her upstairs.

"Hey!" Ji Liang hung in the air all of a sudden, and said in fear, "What are you doing?! Put me down quickly! Cheng Yanxi!"

"I'll hold you, it's definitely safer than walking by yourself." Cheng Yanxi walked upstairs calmly.

"Go carefully, both of you."

The shopkeeper took the two of them up to the second floor, took out a half-meter-square box from a carved red sandalwood stand, put it on the wooden table beside him, and said, "This is the Chinese chess piece that Young Master He asked us to order. You two see if you are satisfied."

Cheng Yanxi let go of Ji Liang, walked over, and opened the box.

Ji Liang rubbed his waist, walked over curiously, saw a wooden chessboard and a set of chess made of the same material in the box, and could smell the faint fragrance from the chessboard.

"The material of this chessboard and chess pieces is maple bridge torreya, the color is golden and pleasing to the eye, the texture is fine and straight, and the feel is really excellent. This chessboard and chess pieces are purely hand-polished by my master for three months." The store said, "He Shao is our old customer, what he wants must be the best."

Cheng Yanxi nodded, turned her head to look at Ji Liang, and asked, "What do you think? Give this to grandpa as a birthday present."

Ji Liang touched the chessboard, nodded slightly, "Very good!"

"Did He Jingrong pay?" Cheng Yanxi asked the shopkeeper.

"It's been paid."

"Then we'll take it away, and you pack it."

"Hey, okay."

"Thank you, boss." Ji Liang thanked, and asked Cheng Yanxi in a low voice, "Didn't you say you came out to buy gifts? Why did you ask me to come out when you already ordered them?"

"I told you that this is a gift in the name of both of us, and you have a share, of course you want to come." Cheng Yanxi said it as a matter of course.

Ji Liang gritted her teeth angrily, villain!She said again: "Should someone else pay for the gift for grandpa?"

Cheng Yanxi stuffed both hands into her pockets, "I gave He Jingrong the money to make it custom-made, am I a greedy person!"

"Little cheap?" Ji Liang pursed his lips, "How much is this chess set?"

"It's not much money." Cheng Yanxi turned her eyes to look at Ji Liang, "Also, if grandpa asks, you can just say that it's your idea to send chess pieces, and it's my business to find someone to order."

"It's my idea. You have to tell me how much it is, and I'll pay you back."

Cheng Yanxi smiled suddenly, and said, "Do you still hold grudges? Isn't it because you said something during dinner in the morning, and you still hold on to it?"

"This is called principle." Ji Liang turned his face away.Cheng Yanxi, don't you know how to apologize?

"One hundred thousand, half for each of us, shall we pay back?" Cheng Yanxi raised her eyebrows.

Ji Liang's eyelids twitched, he swallowed, and blinked, "Are you lying to me?"

"I'm free."

"Then..." Ji Liang opened his mouth, "I'll pay it back when I have money, I owe it first."

Cheng Yanxi hooked the corner of her mouth, and it happened that the shopkeeper had packed the chessboard and brought it over. Cheng Yanxi took it and asked, "Ji Liang, shall I carry you down?"

"No need!" Ji Liang glared at Cheng Yanxi, carefully held the handle of the stairs, and walked down step by step.

"Hey!" Cheng Yanxi saw her nervous look, and suddenly shouted frighteningly behind her.

Ji Liang turned his head and gave him a blank look, Cheng Yanxi shrugged like a proud child.
