Chapter 106: You agreed to his request?

The security guard was a little confused by her question. He nodded and said blankly, "Isn't that tall and handsome gentleman driving the Bentley your boyfriend? I've seen you two coming and going together often. When he first came here, he also said he was your boyfriend."

Oh, Wen Qi.

He said he's my boyfriend?

Ji Xuan looked surprised. In her memory, Wen Qi would never lie, and she disliked liars even more.

"You mean Wen... my boyfriend... he came over this evening?" Ji Xian knew the security guard didn't know Wen Qi's name, so she quickly changed her words, but the word 'boyfriend' sounded somewhat insincere and lacked confidence.

"Yes, around five o'clock, a minivan arrived, and after he got out, the car drove away."

Ji Xian pursed her lips, took out her phone, and found that there were no messages on it.

She thanked the security guard and quickly went upstairs.

After exiting the elevator and walking through the short corridor around the corner, sure enough, I saw a tall and handsome figure leaning against the wall by the door. Perhaps he had been standing for too long, because his posture was a bit lazy, and one leg was slightly bent.

His head was tilted slightly back, and his eyes were half-closed.

The corridor lights were a cool white, reflecting off his already aloof face, highlighting his sexy Adam's apple along his smooth jawline.

It gave off a somewhat lonely and desolate feeling.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, Wen Qi opened his eyes and saw a person standing four or five meters away.

He snapped out of his daze, straightened up, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm back."

Ji Xuan walked over and asked, "When did you get back?"

"I arrived around 4 p.m.," Wen Qi said. "I got here around 6 p.m.

It's already past eight o'clock.

This means he waited here for more than two hours.

"are you looking for me?"

Wen Qi glanced at her, his gaze deep and intense, his thin lips pressed into a straight line as he remained silent.

He didn't say anything, but it was as if he said everything.

I hadn't seen her for just a few days, and I missed her, so I came straight here after getting off the plane.

He didn't mention that he had been to the school and seen her and Xiao Guxing, but seeing her return now, he still felt a little uneasy.

Especially her slightly cold and distant question, "Is there something you need?", was a stark contrast to the smiling and charming appearance she had shown with Xiao Guxing at the school gate earlier.

Ji Xian felt her legs were a little sore and didn't want to stand outside talking to him like this, so she directly entered the password and said, "Come in first."

As soon as the door opened, a white shadow darted out with a 'whoosh'.

It seemed to have run too far ahead, so it quickly turned back and rubbed against Ji Xian's feet, meowing sweetly and coquettishly.

Ji Xian bent down and scooped her into his arms, patted her head with a smile, went inside, changed his shoes in the entryway, put down his bag, and took off his coat.

Wen Qi followed him in, closing the door behind him. He still had no shoes, so he could only wear socks.

Ji Xian went to the kitchen to wash his hands, poured two glasses of warm water, drank one himself and gave the other to the cat, then checked the cat bowl and found it was empty.

She simply opened a can of cat food, watched the princess eat happily, and then cleaned up the litter box.

Seeing cat litter on the ground, I prepared to get a broom to sweep it up.

Wen Qi stood up and snatched it away, saying, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'll do it."

He quickly swept the floor and asked her if there was anything else she needed to do.

Ji Xian shook his head, and the two washed their hands together before sitting opposite each other on the living room sofa.

Wen Qi pondered for a moment, watching her take a sip of water, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

After asking the question, I realized it was pretty stupid.

They definitely ate it.

I ate with Xiao Guxing again.

As expected, Ji Xuan nodded and asked him, "Have you eaten?"

"No," Wen Qi said. "I'm not hungry right now."

The atmosphere in the living room fell silent again. Ji Xuan thought for a moment, still wanting to ask the security guard about her boyfriend, when Wen Qi suddenly said, "I know you attended Peking University's anniversary celebration today. I went to the school after I got off the plane."

He hesitated for a long time, thinking it over and over, and felt that hiding it was not a solution.

Haven't you had enough of playing riddles for those four years?

That's how feelings grow distant.

In fact, Wen Qi didn't know what kind of feelings Ji Xuan had for him, or rather... whether he liked him or not.

But he understood that Xiao Guxing was a considerable threat to him.

Ji Xian was surprised and looked up at him.

Wen Qi then truthfully stated, "I saw you and Xiao Guxing."

Ji Xuan was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, I went back to school with him today to participate in the school anniversary celebration."

Wen Qi had many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't bring himself to ask them.

Now, even being jealous is not justified; there's no confidence whatsoever.

"If there's nothing else, go back. You flew back and stood outside for more than two hours without eating. Get some rest."

That sounded quite concerned, if her tone hadn't been so cold.

Wen Qi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a sense of unease. "Ji Xian, can you please stop liking other people for now?"

Ji Xuan was startled by his words, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Please give me another chance."

Ji Xuan was speechless, then frowned and complained, "Is today some kind of confession day?"

Why are all these guys confessing their feelings to her?

Wen Qi was taken aback, but he understood the implication in her words. His peach blossom eyes were filled with astonishment and shock, his Adam's apple bobbed, and a tense whisper escaped from his thin lips.

"Xiao Guxing confessed his feelings to you?"

"..."

It must be because the temperature dropped; the wind probably made me stupid.

"If there's nothing else, you should go back now."

Ji Xian regretted speaking too quickly and got up in a bad mood. Just then, the glass was empty, so he went to the kitchen to refill it.

But after taking only a couple of steps, Wen Qi grabbed her wrist and walked up to her. "You agreed to him?"

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, her breathing became more labored, and her voice trembled slightly.

The light and shadow flickering in those eyes were swaying, and the sparse irises were watching her with a pitiful look in them.

The more he thought about her cold attitude towards him, the more flustered he became.

Is it because she agreed to his request that she wants to distance herself from him?
"Ok?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Qi took another step closer and quickly uttered a single syllable.

The two faced each other with a fist's distance between them. Being so close, Ji Xian could smell the faint woody scent on him again. She subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Wen Qi grabbed her wrist.

Don't let her back out.

"What are you doing! Let me go first."

Answer me.

His sudden forcefulness annoyed Ji Xian, whose wrist was gripped so tightly it hurt. Unable to break free, she simply said, "So what if I agree? So what if I don't? This is my private matter. Just like when you confessed to me and pursued me, I also have the right to refuse, right?"

“Wen Qi, I am not a label that you can use to justify your ownership. I am not an object; I have emotions and desires, and I have my own preferences.”

Her words were firm and resonant, each one powerful and resounding.

Wen Qi suddenly loosened his grip on her hand.

Ji Xian pulled his hand away, looked at his slightly red wrist, and said angrily, "I'm telling you clearly now, there's no possibility between us, and you don't need to waste any more time on me. You can leave."
