Chapter 1899: Don’t Cause Hatred

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Yes.” Ji Fengmian interrupted her softly. “That’s why it’s our private matter to throw a tantrum and ask him to make breakfast for me. You can be curious, but I think it’s too much to probe. I think you know why I said that. Otherwise, you don’t have to be so careful in front of me.”

Ji Qing bit her lip and remained silent.

Ji Fengmian sat up straight and his gaze turned cold.

“Your words might make you unhappy, but don’t feel aggrieved if you know the truth.”

Glancing at the few sandwiches in the middle of the table, Ji Fengmian sneered.

“To capture a man’s heart, you have to capture his stomach. After all these years, have you succeeded?”

She had already made herself clear. Even if she could act dumb in the past, she couldn’t do so anymore.

Perhaps she had hit Ji Qing’s weakest spot. She finally looked up at Ji Fengmian.

“No one knows Brother Boyan better than me.”

Ji Fengmian raised an eyebrow and looked at Ji Qing calmly, as if he was all ears.

Ji Qing didn’t disappoint her and continued, “Although you two knew each other earlier than me, you left him for nine years. In these nine years, I’ve been by his side.”

Ji Fengmian’s expression turned cold. “Are you showing off or reminding me to have some self-awareness? That’s enough. It’s time to give up my position.”

Ji Qing shook her head. “I’m not showing off or reminding you. I’m telling you the truth because I grew up with him, so I know what he wants the most. That’s why I accepted Brother Boyang being with you…”

Ji Fengmian nodded. “Looks like I have to thank you for accepting the two of us.”

“I know you’ll find me ridiculous… but if I…”

“What are you talking about?”

Chu Boyang’s voice suddenly interrupted Ji Qing.

He placed the noodles in front of Ji Fengmian. “You ordered it yourself. You have to finish it even if you cry.”

“But I didn’t say that I wanted to eat two eggs.”

“… Let’s talk if you can’t eat.”

Chu Boyang sat beside her and glanced at Ji Qing. “What were you talking about just now?”

Ji Qing’s face was a little pale as she shook her head gently. “Nothing.”

Chu Boyang turned to look at Ji Fengmian and heard her say,

“It’s nothing. I’m actually quite curious about what you’re going to say next.”

Ji Qing took a sip of milk. “I forgot.”

Ji Fengmian only finished half of the bowl of noodles before pushing it to Chu Boyang. “Are you full?”

Chu Boyang pulled the bowl towards him. “I don’t think you want to hear that.”

Ji Fengmian wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Do I look like someone who would force others?”

“I’m not full.”

Chu Boyang placed the half-eaten poached egg into his mouth.

Ji Fengmian smiled.

After Chu Boyang finished eating, Ji Fengmian’s phone rang.

She answered the call in less than five seconds. “I’ll be right there.”

Chu Boyan looked at her.

“I’ve arranged a car.”

Ji Fengmian stood up. “I’m not going to school today.”

She brushed her loose hair and left the dining room.

Something was wrong.

Chu Boyang could naturally tell.

However, since Ji Fengmian had called the chauffeur to pick her up, it was useless no matter what he said.

After going downstairs with Ji Fengmian, the latter acted as if nothing had happened. Before getting into the car, he instructed, “Don’t forget about the thesis.”

He went up to her and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Yes.”

After watching Ji Fengmian’s car leave, Chu Boyang walked to the other car.

“Since you can’t learn to talk to her, talk less to her. You’ve angered her. I’m the one who’s trying to coax her.”

Watching the car drive Chu Boyang away, Ji Qing stood rooted to the ground with a sorrowful expression.

She knew that the one who refused to let her off was Ji Fengmian.

“Miss Ji,” the chauffeur reminded her.

She snapped back to reality and took a deep breath before getting into the car.

Ji Qing’s unfinished words made Ji Fengmian very concerned.

Even though she told herself to ignore him, he would always enter her mind in his free time.

But if…

What if what?

After thinking about it, the first half of her sentence made her very certain that it wasn’t anything good.

However, she could only converse with Ji Qing once.

There was no answer to this question. As time passed, it gradually faded.

However, Ji Qing seemed to have started to avoid coming to Chu Boyang’s house.

It was just that she rarely came.

After all, they had grown up together. They couldn’t cut ties.

In the last few months of university, the emotions of their peers had slowly settled. They were no longer ostentatious or frivolous. Compared to before, they were clearly much quieter.

Perhaps it was a departure, perhaps it was the pressure of wanting to reach a higher level, or perhaps it was the desire to embark on the journey that they had planned for a long time, or perhaps it was the confusion or fear of the future.

However, it didn’t mean much to some people.

For example, Ji Fengmian and Chu Boyang.

In fact, Chu Boyang’s focus had deviated.

With Uncle Chu around, Ji Fengmian felt especially comfortable.

Uncle Chu even suggested that if she felt bored, she could continue studying in school.

Anyway, it wasn’t difficult for her.

However, Ji Fengmian rejected her without hesitation.

Uncle Chu felt helpless at her lack of ambition.

Chu Boyang couldn’t find anything wrong with her.

Other than not involving Ji Qing.

Ever since Ji Fengmian saw Ji Qing again, he had always felt that the past was purely child’s play. As for the fact that she had almost lost her life because of her, it could only be because they had grown up. He couldn’t deny the current her because of what happened when she was young.

She couldn’t be prejudiced against her because of her childhood prejudice.

However, time and reality had proven that she might not be compatible with Ji Qing.

But she couldn’t get rid of her no matter what.

His impatience with her increased day by day, and he never hid his dislike of her.

It had been more than a month since they parted on bad terms that morning.

In the afternoon, Chu Boyan came to school to pick her up.

She wanted to sit in the front passenger seat out of habit, but the chauffeur opened the door for her.

Chu Boyan sat inside.

She bent down and got in. “Director Chu, you’re becoming more and more like a superior. You don’t even drive anymore.”

Chu Boyang held her hand. “I can’t drive today. I’ll bring you to dinner.”

“Why are you going out to eat? Are you tired of cooking?”

“I can cook for you for the rest of my life.”

Ji Fengmian pursed his lips. “Then why did you eat outside? I approve of your culinary skills.”

“Ji Qing’s results are out. She invited us for a meal. Her results should be good.”

“Thanks to you?” Ji Fengmian raised an eyebrow. “Are you studying abroad?”

Chu Boyan shook his head without any hesitation. “No.”

“So that’s why you can’t drive today?”

“Isn’t it a joyous occasion? She probably wants us to celebrate for her.”

Ji Fengmian laughed. “She has to celebrate after getting a good result. She shouldn’t be a slacker, right? Shouldn’t we celebrate for her after every exam?”

After saying this, Ji Fengmian paused for a moment. Thinking back, when they ate together in the past, she had indeed heard Chu Boyang celebrate for her occasionally. However, she didn’t take it seriously back then and even responded to him occasionally.

After all, there had been countless exams along the way. It wasn’t impossible to mention it if she did well.

Unexpectedly, they were really celebrating.

She sneered, but anger lingered in her chest.

Under her watch, did she still want to cross their small world?

Sensing the change in her mood, Chu Boyang held her hand tightly. “What are you thinking about?”

Ji Fengmian raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

“I’m curious. What’s your relationship with Ji Qing?”

Chu Bo raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why do you ask? She was in the orphanage before you left. After you left, she was still in the orphanage…”

“You just have to give me a simple answer about our relationship.”

Ji Fengmian’s attitude was cold.

His words were icy.

Chu Boyang looked at her for two seconds. “We grew up together.”

Ji Fengmian nodded. “Yes, we grew up together.” She repeated as if she had accepted this answer. However, the smile on her face still looked a little cold. “Have the two of you been the only ones left in the orphanage since I left?”

Chu Boyang raised his eyebrows.

“I don’t think so? There are so many children who grew up with you in the orphanage. Why didn’t you give each of them a house in the best area in the city? Why didn’t you spend some money to get them into T University or have a meal with them to celebrate their good exam results?”

Chu Boyang frowned. “Do you care so much about Ji Qing?”

“Could she be your long-lost biological sister?”

“No.”

“Or rather, you were kidnapped later on. In order to save you, she was almost raped by the kidnappers or lost her virginity?”

Ji Fengmian watched as a thick layer of frost formed on Chu Boyang’s face.

“… No.”

Ji Fengmian looked at him for two seconds before sitting up straight and turning to look at the street outside.

“Stop the car.”

The driver looked up at the rearview mirror and saw Chu Boyang’s ugly expression.

The car was still moving at a constant speed, and his palms were sweating.

He wasn’t deaf. The car was only so big and the two of them were arguing so badly. How could he act like nothing had happened?

“I said, stop the car.”

The driver said helplessly, “Director Chu…”

Chu Boyang said, “I’ve never felt that I have an unspeakable relationship with Ji Qing, so I brought you out.”

Ji Fengmian’s eyes narrowed. “Just like how you asked her to celebrate my birthday back then.” She turned her head and smiled faintly. “You think she’s good, so you want me to accept her unconditionally?”

She paused for a while before bursting into laughter. With undisguised sarcasm, she said, “Let’s take a step back and say that I’m dating you. Not only do you have to bring your family along, but I also have to accept that burden unconditionally?”

Moreover, she was a burden who coveted him.

“She’s a burden who has nothing to do with me. What kind of good woman do you think I am? Do you think I have to accept her? We’re not at the stage where we can talk about marriage. Whether I’m willing to accept her or not depends on whether I’m willing or not. Obviously, I’m not willing now. I said, stop the car. Didn’t you hear me?”

That must not be stopped.

The driver pursed his lips, not daring to move his eyes.

At this point, he stopped the car and the two of them parted ways…

“Ji Fengmian,” Chu Boyang said in a low voice, “So, what do you want? Do you want me to take back the house under Ji Qing’s name, withdraw her school, or not celebrate with her today?”

“You’re the young and talented CEO Chu. Who has the right to teach you what to do?”

“It seems like I’m quite mean and mean in your eyes. The three things you said made it seem like I forced you to do them. Let me ask you, can you do it?”

Chu Boyang closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Mian, if there was anything between Ji Qing and me, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

Ji Fengmian was silent for a while. She roughly understood what he meant.

If there was anything between him and Ji Qing, it wouldn’t have anything to do with her. She wouldn’t be his girlfriend, let alone have sex with him.

Thinking back, she knew how Chu Boyang had treated her.

However, she didn’t think that there was no reason for her to reject Ji Qing.

How much energy did Ji Fengmian have to torture her with a bomb that could explode at any time?

When she was in a relationship, she didn’t find a man to make herself unhappy.

Moreover, she didn’t think she was friendly to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing knew and she didn’t hide it. How could someone as smart as Chu Boyang not know?

However, his choice was to let her accept Ji Qing.

Ha.

She sneered to herself and ignored Chu Boyang’s words.

“I’m not feeling well. Stop the car. I want to go home.”

Seeing Chu Boyang’s ugly expression, the driver asked awkwardly,

“Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Ji Fengmian said calmly, “There’s no need. I just feel a little disgusted.”

The driver’s expression changed and he glanced at Chu Boyang through the rearview mirror.

This Miss Ji was used to speaking like this. Her words sounded normal at first, but when one thought about it carefully, there were many twists and turns.

He listened to their argument the entire time. He really didn’t think that the “disgust” in Miss Ji’s words was just her physiological reaction.

It was impossible for Chu Boyan not to know.

The driver glanced at the restaurant and coughed lightly. “Director Chu, we’ve arrived at the restaurant Miss Ji booked.”

Chu Boyang said directly, “To the hospital.”

“… Yes.”

“I said I’m not going to the hospital. Since you’re already here, why don’t you go in? After you’re done, I’ll make her remember me. Don’t attract hatred. I want to live for a few more years.”
