Quick Wear: Domineering System on Your Own

Meanwhile, Ji Qing and Lingjiu moved effortlessly through the crowd, getting to know their business partners one by one. Lingjiu's performance was impeccable, her manners graceful and graceful, her responses effortless. Every smile and greeting was perfectly timed, earning praise from everyone present.

Duan Yizhou's gaze remained fixed on Lingjiu the entire time. He was filled with confusion and bewilderment, wondering how Lingjiu had suddenly transformed into Ji Qing's daughter. However, all of this didn't seem that important to him anymore. As long as she was here, as long as he could see her with his own eyes, that was enough.

Lingjiu stayed in the bustling hall for a long time, only to find the air becoming increasingly oppressive. So, she quietly walked towards the garden.

Duan Yizhou, whose eyes had always been following Lingjiu, naturally would not miss her move and followed her without hesitation.

Lingjiu arrived at the fountain, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and gracefully sat on the chair. She lowered her head slightly, immersed in her own thoughts, until she felt the sound of footsteps approaching. Without looking up, she whispered softly, "Here they come."

Duan Yizhou slowly walked to her side, sat down gently and gentlemanly, looked at her sincerely and said, "I have a lot of questions in my mind that I want to ask. But I know that it is your secret, and I don't want to be abrupt, so I choose not to ask any more questions. Now, let us get to know each other again. My name is Duan Yizhou." After that, he stretched out a slender and powerful hand.

Lingjiu gently held Duan Yizhou's hand and said in a gentle voice, "My name is Lingjiu. Or Jijiu."

Duan Yizhou's fingers clenched slightly, gently grasped Lingjiu's hand, and then quickly released it like a gentleman. He looked directly into Lingjiu's eyes with a fiery gaze and said seriously, "Lingjiu, I was plagued by bad luck in the past, but now I won't bring you any misfortune. So, can I pursue you?"

Lingjiu's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, a barely perceptible smile forming. She reached out and gently grasped Duan Yizhou's chin, her movements as if she were appraising a rare treasure. She scrutinized his features carefully, then after a moment, said slowly, "Your appearance meets my aesthetic standards. Therefore, I agree to your pursuit of me."

Her hand was still on Duan Yizhou's chin. Her focused and slightly scrutinizing gaze made Duan Yizhou feel a little shy, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Fortunately, Lingjiu quickly let go of his hand, allowing Duan Yizhou to relieve his tension a little.

"You drank a lot of wine tonight. I'll go get you a hot cup of milk. Your stomach will feel better after drinking it. You wait here for me, I'll be back soon." After Duan Yizhou finished speaking, he stood up and strode away quickly.

Lingjiu sat there quietly for a while, and Ji Yue quietly appeared: "Sister, are you feeling okay?"

Lingjiu didn't respond to her words at all.

Ji Yue was secretly certain in her heart that Lingjiu must be drunk at this moment. After all, she saw Lingjiu drinking one glass after another with her own eyes.

She continued to herself: "Sister, let me help you get up and walk."

She completely ignored Lingjiu's reaction, and directly reached out to help Lingjiu up, and then helped her walk slowly towards the swimming pool.

When Duan Yizhou returned with a steaming glass of milk, the chair was empty. His gaze strayed towards where Lingjiu had sat, and he saw a flickering light there. As he approached, the light suddenly vanished, leaving only the word "swimming pool." Duan Yizhou's heart tightened, and without a word, he hurried towards the pool.

At the same time, Ji Yue supported Ling Jiu and walked to the swimming pool. A subtle smile appeared on Ji Yue's lips as she whispered, "Sis, since you're drunk, why don't you go sober up in the pool!" As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and tried to push Ling Jiu into the pool. Ling Jiu, however, seemed to have noticed and, before Ji Yue could even exert any strength, leaped into the pool herself.

Seeing this, Ji Yue was overjoyed. This was truly God’s help. She then raised her voice and shouted for help: “Hurry up! Come quickly! My sister has fallen into the water! Help!”

In an instant, a figure plunged into the water like an arrow, quickly rescuing Lingjiu to shore. Duan Yizhou quickly took off his coat and carefully covered Lingjiu with it. Despite the disaster of falling into the water, Lingjiu looked even more charming and sympathetic.

At this time, the banquet guests, as well as Ji's father, mother, Ji Xun, and others, had all rushed to the pool. Seeing Lingjiu soaking wet, Ji's mother was extremely anxious. She hurried over and hugged her daughter tightly, anxiously asking, "What's going on? My dear, how are you?" Lingjiu's eyes were red, and she said with a hint of grievance and resentment, "I don't know how I offended my sister. She actually pushed me into the water."

When Ji's father heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He glared at Ji Yue with wide eyes and said, "Ji Yue, why did you push your sister?"

Ji Yue seemed to have been greatly wronged. She shook her head and waved her hands, defending herself, "It wasn't me, Dad. It really wasn't me who pushed her. My sister accidentally slipped and fell. When I saw this, I kindly called for help to save her. How could my sister accuse me like this?" As she spoke, she actually began to cry.

At this time, Ji Xun came forward, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking hard about something. He slowly said, "Could it be a misunderstanding? Yueyue is not that kind of person. She has no reason to push Xiaojiu."

After hearing what Ji Xun said, Lingjiu slowly turned her gaze to him. A crystal teardrop quietly slid down her cheek. She asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Brother, do you mean that I am lying?" When Ji Xun saw Lingjiu crying, his heart seemed to be suddenly pulled by an invisible hand, and he was speechless for a moment.

Duan Yizhou snorted coldly, breaking the awkward deadlock. He said in a cold tone, "Ms. Ji Yue's ability to distort right and wrong has really opened my eyes today. Let me ask you, why is Xiao Jiu here with you?"

Ji Yue raised her chin slightly and responded confidently, "Of course my sister said she wanted to come out for some fresh air and asked me to walk with her, so we came to the swimming pool. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Duan Yizhou snorted again, full of disdain: "Really?" He turned to look at Ji's father and said seriously: "Uncle Ji, I saw Xiaojiu was a little drunk just now, so I asked her to wait by the fountain for a while while I went to heat a cup of milk for her. But when I came back, Xiaojiu was gone. It's obvious that she was taken away. As for what that person's intentions are, it's now clear."

Seeing the situation was not good, Ji Yue rushed to her father, grabbed his arm, and cried, "Dad, you must believe me, I really didn't push my sister. I just took my sister out for some fresh air. She accidentally fell down. Sister, ever since you came back, I have always respected you. How could you slander me like this?"
