Chapter 42 I'm Sorry, President Ji, He's Too Tired
The birthday banquet was finally over.
Those who got things and didn't get things in the Ji family left one after another, either satisfied or disappointed. Only a few people who were valued by the Ji family were eligible to stay in the old house for one night.
This includes Gu Ren.
As the host, Ji Mianzhu had to accompany them around. After tossing around all day, everyone was exhausted. When he returned to the bamboo house in the evening, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were half down and lazy. Lying on the couch, not wanting to move.
However, seeing the figure of Jiang Lian who came in together, Ji Mianzhu started thinking about the other party uncontrollably in his mind, and even went through everything that happened at the birthday banquet during the day.
After thinking about it carefully, those forgotten puzzles quickly returned to Ji Mianzhu's heart, rolling like a snowball.
Why is there almost no communication between the protagonists and the protagonists? Is it the way he pulls the strings?
Ji Mianzhu rubbed his chin and pondered.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Right at this moment, Jiang Lian placed a cup of warm water on the coffee table and made a crisp sound, instantly calling Ji Mianzhu's attention back. Looking at the glass of clear, transparent and steaming water, Ji Mianzhu suddenly had a thought, which made him suddenly active and full of energy, as if the exhaustion all over his body had dissipated.
Ji Mianzhu took advantage of Jiang Lian's ignorance, secretly glanced at Gu Ren's phone number, and then surreptitiously removed the battery of his mobile phone, and finally seized the opportunity when Jiang Lian sat down beside him. each other's sleeves. Facing Jiang Lian's gaze, Ji Mianzhu cleared his throat and pretended to be very natural: "A Lian, my phone is out of power and turned off, please call Gu Ren for me, I have something to talk to you about. Let me tell you."
Jiang Lian handed the warm water to Ji Mianzhu's lips, and after seeing the other person take a few sips, some of the dry lips became moist and full again, and then he responded in a low voice.
Under Ji Mianzhu's burning gaze, he took out his phone and turned it on.
Ji Mianzhu quickly and fluently reported a string of phone numbers.
Jiang Lian paused when he opened the page, and raised his eyes with some scrutiny.
How long have we known each other and remember the phone number so clearly?
Ji Mianzhu didn't suspect him, and when he saw Jiang Lian looking over, he couldn't help blinking. Guessing that the other party didn't remember it, Ji Mianzhu patiently reported it again, still as fluent as ever.
Jiang Lian's face darkened a little.
He took a deep breath and lowered his head to concentrate on dialing.
There was a ringing tone from the phone, and Jiang Lian pursed his lips and handed the phone to Ji Mianzhu. When Ji Mianzhu saw the mobile phone handed over to him, he quickly waved his hand and pushed Jiang Lian's hand back
. Glancing at him, he slowly put the phone back to his ear. A very mature and magnetic voice came from the microphone at the right time, it was Gu Ren.
"Hey, who is it?"
Jiang Lian didn't care about the voice on the phone and didn't answer, but kept looking at Ji Mianzhu in front of him, as if he wanted to see into his heart through the expression on the other side.
Because he didn't turn on the speakerphone, Ji Mianzhu couldn't hear the voice in the microphone clearly. He could only hear a slightly clearer connection sound. Seeing this, Ji Mianzhu's eyes lit up, and he blinked towards Jiang Lian, indicating He speaks. Jiang Lian couldn't help pursing his lips, and under Ji Mianzhu's silent urging, he said bluntly,
"Hey, I'm Jiang Lian."
As soon as the voice stopped, Gu Ren was obviously stunned. After two seconds, the mature and mellow male voice sounded again: "...Hello Mr. Jiang, what's the matter?"
Few people knew his private number, the most recent one was Ji Mian Bamboo too. As smart as Gu Ren, he quickly understood that Ji Mianzhu asked Jiang Lian to call him. Although he didn't know why, Gu Ren patiently kept the call and didn't hang up.
Here, Ji Mianzhu heard Jiang Lian's obedient voice and was very satisfied, with a hint of excitement mixed in with the satisfaction. He cleared his throat again and reminded Jiang Lian in a low voice. "Ask him how he is doing today, if he is not happy."
At the beginning of the chat, it must start from the daily life. This is called gradual progress.
Jiang Lian's eyes were deep like a pool, and he stared at Ji Mianzhu in front of him without blinking. After a pause, he asked without emotion under Ji Mianzhu's expectant gaze,
"How is Young Master Gu feeling today?"
Gu Ren doubted his presence, and answered earnestly, "Very good, the hospitality of the Ji family. He's very thoughtful and the environment is great. Mr. Ji is also very enthusiastic, caring and gentle, making people feel very comfortable."
After listening to the suspected confession answer in the microphone, Jiang Lian's face darkened a bit. The hand holding the phone gradually tightened, and the lip line was stretched into a straight line. The whole person had a forbearance sharpness, but it was only taking into account the talent in front of him that he had been patient and did not show it.
Ji Mianzhu was still unaware. After hearing the buzzing sound on Jiang Lian's phone disappear, he rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and then whispered to Jiang Lian: "Well... He acts well in movies, he is mature and handsome, and he will definitely do something in the business world in the future. I am very optimistic about him."
A man will definitely like other people's compliments, but he can't praise too much, and he should be reserved. , so as to attract the attention of the other party √
Ji Mianzhu has a good grasp of the man's mind.
But Jiang Lian listened to a series of compliments from his sweetheart to other men, but his eyes gradually deepened, his chest kept heaving and his face was dark enough. He gritted his teeth hard, and finally boasted without expression:
"Young Master Gu will definitely make a difference in the future." The
sentence was short, with a faint smell of gnashing of teeth, and what Ji Mianzhu said was simply two versions. When I heard it suddenly, it was not like a compliment, but it was like meeting a dead enemy. On the surface, the compliment was insincere, but it was secretly looking for an opportunity to get rid of the opponent.
When Gu Ren heard this, he really stopped.
It took a long time for him to reply in a subtle voice: "...Haha, Mr. Jiang praised him."
After saying this, he didn't know what to say, so the phone went silent.
Ji Mianzhu couldn't hear Gu Ren's reply on the other end of the phone, but he could hear Jiang Lian's words very clearly. Ji Mianzhu couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard that Jiang Lian had cut down on his words. He leaned closer again, shook the other's sleeve, raised his face and reminded again in a low voice, "Ask him how he thinks of you."
Jiang Lian took a deep breath, his gaze down and grabbed Ji Mianzhu's.
After hearing Ji Mianzhu's words, he had already figured out Ji Mianzhu's intentions, but he did not intend to let the other party succeed. So Jiang Lian's voice was still cold and unfeeling, and he seemed to have a bit of murderous aura:
"What do you think about me, Young Master Gu?"
Gu Ren was even more confused when he heard the words, and it took a long time before he decided to say:
"Mr. Jiang...a talented person, I'm sure he will do a lot in the future."
The conversation between the two was like a large-scale commercial blowing each other.
However, Ji Mianzhu was very satisfied, her phoenix eyes shone with light, and she was so beautiful that she wanted to hide her secretly. Jiang Lian held the phone in one hand, while the other hand silently wrapped the hand that Ji Mianzhu was pulling on his sleeve.
Ji Mianzhu, who was still racking his brains thinking about a reply, didn't pay any attention to this. After a long while, he raised his head and gave Jiang Lian the last line of guidance: "Tell him that Ji's house crosses paths, and you might get lost when you go out at night. If you encounter any difficulties in Ji's house, you can bring it up."
Well, he mentioned you and your gang, the moon is dark, the wind is high, the night is quiet, and the man is alone, isn't the opportunity here? I'm such a little genius.
Ji Mianzhu was immersed in his own wisdom, thus directly ignoring Jiang Lian's side, and also ignoring Jiang Lian's next sentence that was emotionless and sinister and short and scary: "Don't come out at night.
" , instantly sketched out a ghostly picture, plus Ji Zhai has a long history, and some parts were not repaired in place, it is indeed a bit gloomy, and people can't help but feel cold behind their backs.
Sure enough, the phone paused again, and it took a long time to hear the message.
In fact, Gu Ren was very dumbfounded. When I was about to rest, I suddenly received such a strange phone call. I thought it was Ji Mianzhu, but it was actually Jiang Lian. There was also a specious warning, and anyone who heard it would be suspicious.
Thinking of his speculation about the relationship between Ji Mianzhu and Jiang Lian during the day, Gu Ren finally asked hesitantly, "...Mr. Jiang, can I ask President Ji what's wrong with him?"
Jiang Lian glanced at Ji Mianzhu, who was standing beside him, who was still happy. Something flashed across his eyes, causing the corners of his lips to curl up slightly, and his wickedness gradually rose. Jiang Lian answered casually with his phone in his hand
, "It's alright, he's too tired, and he can't say a word now."
As his final voice fell, there was no sound on the phone.
Jiang Lian sneered, and only then did he feel that the sullenness in his chest dissipated a little. He finally said without emotion: "Okay, Master Gu, let's rest, it's getting late."
After that, he hung up the phone unceremoniously.
Jiang Lian didn't care what Gu Ren was thinking. As soon as he lost his phone, he sat directly next to Ji Mianzhu. He curled his lips and stroked Ji Mianzhu's fair and slender neck with his fingertips. Thinking of Ji Mianzhu's compliments to Gu Ren just now, and the fact that he even tried to push him away, he couldn't stop his heart from raging, and he could only use such intimate skin-to-skin contact to temporarily hold it back.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lian's eyes darkened, and there was a hint of danger.
He narrowed his eyes.
When Ji Mianzhu came back to his senses, he noticed that Jiang Lian had hung up the phone, and his whole body seemed to move out of thin air, almost sitting in the other person's arms. He couldn't help being a little stunned.
Ji Mianzhu felt the scorching aura of the other party, moved uncomfortably, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Lian's eyes never looked away from Ji Mianzhu. He adjusted his posture and put one arm on the sofa. Leaning on his back, Ji Mianzhu was around him from behind, while his other hand was still gently stroking Ji Mianzhu's neck. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, as if he was about to drown someone in it: "Don't you mean your throat hurts? Let me see."
After saying that, he took a serious look at Ji Mian's bamboo-white neck. Inch by inch lingering, as if looking at his lover, Ji Mianzhu blushed.
Just when Ji Mianzhu couldn't take it any longer and was about to leave, a cup of warm water shoved his lips. As if guessing what Ji Mianzhu was thinking, Jiang Lian said, "Doesn't your throat hurt? Drinking some warm water will make you feel more comfortable."
Ji Mianzhu couldn't, and couldn't reveal that he was pretending just now, so he had to hold the small half cup. Drink the water one by one.
When the glass was empty, Ji Mianzhu heard Jiang Lian let out a satisfied chuckle, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up and leave Jiang Lian's imprisonment, Ji Mianzhu found that his wrist was being clenched tightly again. At the same time, Jiang Lian's deep voice came from his ear:
"Go, go to sleep."
