Jingxia Rose

Chapter 133: Rose is back
Wen Qi was taken aback, coughed, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to say that picking you up and dropping you off was troublesome. I didn't mean that at all. I'm definitely willing to pick you up and drop you off, it's just..."

“I know,” Ji Xuan interrupted him softly. “I didn’t misunderstand.”

"I want to eat Aunt Zhao's eight-treasure rice. I get off work early tomorrow night, can you pick me up and we'll go to Canglanju together? I'll drive back by myself later, okay?"

A smile appeared in Wen Qi's eyes. "Okay."

"I'm going up now," Ji Xian instructed. "Drive slowly on your way back, and be careful."

Wen Qi nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes. "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Ji Xian replied with an "okay," then pushed open the car door, got out, waved to him, and turned to enter the residential area.

After taking a shower and putting on a face mask, Ji Xian came out and saw a message on his phone from Wen Qi, sent twenty minutes earlier, saying that he had arrived home.

Ji Xian smiled and replied, "I know, get some rest."

I saw a familiar red dot on my WeChat Moments in the Discover section. When I clicked on it, I found a post from Wen Qi that he had made 15 minutes earlier.

There are two photos in total.

One photo was taken on the central island, and the other was taken at sunset.

In the photos, Wen Qi is always shown in profile, his gaze fixed on Ji Xian. The two stand intimately, with Wen Qi even having his arm around her shoulder in one of the photos.

Her smile was warm and charming, her eyes and brows exuding gentleness and tranquility.

Caption: Roses are back.

Ji Xuan stared at the post for a long time, stunned.

To be honest, although he was never stingy in introducing her identity to his relatives and friends, he never posted about her on social media.

You could also say that he's simply someone who doesn't like posting on social media.

As she looked at her phone, she lay down on the bed, clutching her phone, and couldn't help but laugh.

This is his sincere expression of love for her.

Ji Xian was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he selected two photos from the many group photos taken today and captioned them: "Roses may wither, but their romance will last forever."

The next day, the news of her being with Wen Qi spread like wildfire, and all her friends and family knew about it.

After Ji Xuan finished his meeting in the morning, he received a call from Ji Heng.

Ask her if the guy in her WeChat Moments is her boyfriend.

Ji Xian readily admitted it.

The other person was silent for a moment, then said, "Sis, why don't you bring your husband back to visit sometime? I'll let you in on a little secret, your aunt has been worried about you lately. She came over the other day to inquire, but my mom scolded her."

Ji Xian frowned.

She looked down on all her relatives except for her second uncle.

"Now that you have a boyfriend, you can put an end to her little schemes."

Ji Xuan was a little curious. "Who does she want to introduce me to?"

Ji Heng said, "I heard he's the son of some factory director, and his family has some money, but I reckon he's not a good person. Otherwise, she would definitely prioritize her Chen Qiu first."

Chen Qiu is the eldest daughter of her aunt's family, only one year younger than Ji Xian.

"Ignore them."

"I know. Sis, can you tell my parents about your boyfriend?"

"can."

When Ji Xuan saw Mr. Gerry approaching, he quickly whispered, "I'm at work right now, I have to go now, we can talk later."

After hanging up the phone, she went up to him and said, "Mr. Gerry, I have translated the minutes from the meeting. Please take a look."

Mr. Gerry took it and nodded, "Ms. Ji's professional skills are indeed outstanding. You translated these technical terms very accurately."

"You flatter me, it's my duty." "I need to go to England the day after tomorrow, and I'll have to trouble Miss Ji to come with us."

Ji Xuan was slightly taken aback, but not surprised. She knew from the moment she accepted the mission that she would have to fly back and forth between China, England, and France.

After she finished speaking, Mr. Gerry gestured to his assistant, "Ms. Ji, you can send the information to her, and we will book your plane tickets and hotel for you."

Ji Xuan did not refuse; this was something Mr. Gerry had specifically noted when the contract was signed.

"How long will this trip to England take?"

"Three to five days, then I'll go to France and stay there for a longer period of time, about half a month before returning to Beijing."

That will take about twenty days.

Ji Xuan estimated the time in his mind, and then heard Mr. Gerry's voice, "There's something I think I should tell you."

"what?"

"The young master of the Zheng family was beaten and hospitalized yesterday."

Zheng Feilin?
He was beaten up and hospitalized?

Ji Xuan's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously thought of Wen Qi.

"It was his father who hit him. He reportedly broke one of his legs and will probably be sent to the United States for treatment tomorrow."

Ji Xuan gasped in shock. Chairman Zheng was really ruthless!
She inexplicably felt that Wen Qi was probably putting pressure on the Zheng family.

Just like how we dealt with the Feng family before.

She didn't say anything; her surprised expression just now was enough.

Mr. Gerry didn't continue the topic, but casually mentioned it again, then brought up the matter of sending her on a business trip, "Ms. Ji, do you have any objections to the time I just mentioned?"

"No."

After finishing up with Mr. Gerry, Ji Xuan returned to the Chengkong branch office and received a 'bombed' emoji from Shi Wan on the way.

Ji Xuan: What's wrong?
Shi Wan: Are all the paparazzi these days crazy? Damn it!

Ji Xuan then added two more question marks.

Shi Wan sent me a Weibo link. Clicking on it revealed an eye-catching title: "Second Young Master of the Yi Group goes on a date with popular internet celebrity Shi Shi to fly kites."

Ji Xuan was utterly shocked when he saw the headline.

In the somewhat blurry picture below, Yi Xu and Shi Wan are standing face to face, with Shi Wan holding a kite in her hand.

The comments have already exceeded 5,000. A top comment reads: "Why does this look so staged? How do those two know each other?"

Wow, they look so good together!

[A handsome man and a beautiful woman; judging by their looks alone, I support them.]

[This young master Yi changes girlfriends quite frequently, mostly internet celebrities.]

[The person in question needs to come out and deny this quickly, or I'm about to start shipping them!]

After reading it, Ji Xian quickly returned to WeChat: How could I suddenly be photographed? Jixi Path is so far from the city center, how could there be paparazzi?

Shi Wan: I'm wondering too. What, were the paparazzi having a picnic there that day?
Ji Xuan: So what do we do now? Deny it?

Shi Wan: Of course! Who wants to get involved with him? Ugh! So annoying!
Ji Xian could sense the irritability in her words, so she tentatively asked, "Last night... nothing went wrong, right?"

Shi Wan remained silent for about seven or eight minutes. She had already arrived at Chengkong and was waiting for the elevator when she received her reply: "Out. It's still a big problem."

Ji Xuan had just typed three question marks when Shi Wan sent her a text that left her speechless.

We slept together. To be precise, I slept with him.
