Sweetie, don't look at him, kiss me.

On the afternoon of the day Ji Linzhou and Lin Qingmian obtained their marriage certificate, he took her to pick up their wedding rings.

As soon as she entered, the salesperson greeted her warmly as "Ms. Su".

Later, when he took out the order for the wedding rings he had previously reserved, Ji Linzhou specifically asked the salesperson for a pen, crossed out the woman's name, and then wrote down the three characters "Lin Qingmian".

The name that was crossed out was Su Tingwan.

Therefore, Lin Qingmian remembered this name vividly.

She vaguely felt that there must be some earth-shattering gossip between Ji Linzhou and this Miss Su.

But she and Ji Linzhou were really not familiar with each other, and before they got their marriage certificate, Ji Linzhou had always been like an elder to her...

Therefore, she never dared to inquire about this gossip.

Unexpectedly, the female lead in the AI-generated passionate scene between Ji Xingye and netizens turned out to be Su Tingwan.

"I remember you told me this name before."

Jiang Yao lowered her voice on the other end of the phone: "I was worried about having the same name, so I checked. This Su Tingwan is a ballet dancer who suddenly went abroad to study a year ago and started her career in the entertainment industry overseas."

"She left the country exactly one week before you and Ji Linzhou got your marriage certificate..."

"So this Miss Su must be the one we were thinking of!"

Lin Qingmian completely lost the will to wash up.

She took out her phone and opened the photo that Jiang Yao had sent her.

This is a photo of a woman in a ballet costume standing in a practice room stretching her legs.

She has a long, slender neck, an elegant figure, a beautiful and delicate face, and a gentle and sweet smile. Her innate elegance and nobility seem to transcend the screen.

Lin Qingmian lowered her eyes, and the image of Ji Linzhou sitting in the living room that afternoon, watching that video on his tablet, appeared before her eyes.

At the time, she thought he was looking at Ji Xingye.

But now that I think about it, he... was probably looking at Su Tingwan.

A strange feeling of tightness and bitterness welled up inside her. She sniffed and said, "Yaoyao, I want to rest."

Jiang Yao paused for a moment on the other end of the phone: "Okay, you must have been terrified tonight. Take a good shower and get some rest."

"I heard the matter at the restaurant has been taken care of, but don't worry, I know that fat guy. Next time he comes to our restaurant, I'll secretly slip him laxatives to get revenge for you!"

Lin Qingmian paused for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, the woman splashed water on her face to drive away the inappropriate emotions from her mind.

Her marriage to Ji Linzhou was a transaction from the very beginning.

She shouldn't have any feelings about who he likes or dislikes.

Do not cross the boundary.

On the balcony, Ji Linzhou leaned against the railing, listening to his friend Fu Siwen's complaints on the other end of the phone: "I really don't know what my old man is thinking. You and I are good friends, and Ji Xingqing is your little niece. He wants me to go on a blind date with Ji Xingqing?"

Ji Linzhou turned his head to look towards the living room, but the woman was no longer there.

They've probably gone back to rest.

"So, if I get together with her, wouldn't I have to call you 'uncle'?"

His friend's words brought him back to reality.

He smiled faintly: "Call me uncle now."

"roll."

After chuckling and scolding, Fu Siwen changed the subject: "By the way, I'd also like to interview you. Your nephew and Su Tingwan had a passionate video created using AI. How do you feel about that?"

Ji Linzhou turned his gaze away from the living room: "Su Tingwan?"

Who is it?

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Fu Siwen finally snapped, "That blind date your stepmother arranged for you, didn't you almost get married? How come you can't even remember his name now?"

Ji Linzhou frowned: "Oh, it's her."

No wonder he felt the female lead looked somewhat familiar when he saw Ji Xingye's video today.

He thought that all female celebrities in the entertainment industry looked alike.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the same person the old lady had forced to write into his wedding ring order.

"I give up."

Fu Siwen scoffed, "She was a stunning beauty, and almost became your wife. It's only been a year, and you can't remember anything?"

The man curled his lips into a smile, his voice indifferent: "Unimportant people don't deserve my memory."

He carefully recalled what the woman looked like.

"She's not as pretty as Lin Qingmian."

"Hmph, I knew it! You married her because you were lustful!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Ji Linzhou went back to his room.

The main light in the bedroom was off, with only a dim wall lamp on.

There was a faint lemon scent in the air, the smell of Lin Qingmian's shower gel, fresh and not pungent.

She was asleep on her side in bed, the only sound in the air her even, shallow breathing.

Ji Linzhou lifted his leg and walked over.

In the dim light, the woman's sleeping face was serene and gentle.

After staring at her for a long time, the man gently curled his lips and raised his hand to touch her delicate cheek.

The next morning, when Lin Qingmian regained consciousness, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she were being held captive.

She instinctively struggled and opened her eyes.

What came into view was Ji Linzhou's magnified handsome face.

She then realized that the feeling of being restrained was because Ji Linzhou was holding her in his arms.

Could it be that she was held by him while sleeping all night?

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat.

Because she was afraid of waking him, she didn't dare to move around even when she was awake.

But the urge to urinate in the early morning was unstoppable, so she could only carefully, like a thief, slowly pull away from his arm and get out of bed.

After a long struggle, she finally managed to break free from his embrace.

"woke up?"

She got out of bed, her back to him, and was about to put on her shoes when she heard the man's deep, magnetic voice behind her.

Her movement of putting on her shoes suddenly stopped.

Then, she turned her head awkwardly, meeting the man's unfathomable eyes: "Sorry, did I wake you?"

"Um."

The man picked up his phone, glanced at the time, and said in a nonchalant voice, "But I should get up too."

After saying that, he got out of bed.

He was only wearing a pair of black boxer briefs.

His firm, full pectoral muscles rose and fell slightly with his breathing, and his well-defined abdominal muscles stretched downwards, eventually converging into two sexy V-lines that drew a perfect arc along his waist.

This body, brimming with masculine hormones, crashed into Lin Qingmian's vision without reservation, causing her to involuntarily hold her breath.

Her face flushed, and she turned her head away, unable to look.

The next second, I heard the sound of the bathroom door closing.

It’s over.

I was so embarrassed that the bathroom was taken over.

Helpless, she could only awkwardly put on her clothes and go to the bathroom in the second bedroom to relieve herself.

When she got to the bathroom in the second bedroom, she discovered that it had been used.

It's likely that Ji Linzhou saw she was asleep last night and didn't want to disturb her, so he came here specifically to wash up.

Thinking about it this way, he is actually a gentle and considerate person.

This better matches her image of her future partner.

only……

The thought that he might still have feelings for his ex-fiancée made her silently shake her head.

His previous partners were all outstanding and exceptional women.

How could he possibly fall for her?

What's more, she was also his nephew's ex-girlfriend.

Unless Ji Linzhou is out of his mind, he wouldn't like her.
