After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Looking at this sentence, Lu Ning really wanted to ask him for clarification.

Her heart felt as if it had been submerged in ice water, and she eventually deleted the sentence.

She tossed her phone aside, staring at the message from Ji Chiqian, but ultimately didn't reply.

At this moment, Lu Ning didn't know what to do.

It was noon soon, and Lu Ning received another message from Ji Chiqian: "Let's have lunch together. I brought you a gift from my business trip."

Lu Ning glanced at it but didn't want to reply.

But not long after, Ji Chiqian called.

Lu Ning didn't answer, but he called several times in a row, and her heart felt like it was being fried in oil.

Chen Guoguo looked at her: "Whose call is that? Aren't you going to answer it?"

Lu Ning then picked up her phone and replied to a message on WeChat: "I'm a bit busy, let's talk next time."

When Ji Chiqian saw her reply, his brows furrowed subconsciously. He felt that Lu Ning's reply was strange.

After all, this situation wouldn't have happened before.

Is she really busy with team matters?

He tapped Lu Ning's WeChat profile picture with his slender fingers, glanced at her Moments, and found nothing unusual.

Is she angry because he didn't reply to her messages promptly last night?

This was the only reason Ji Chiqian could think of.

At this moment, Madam Ji came over: "What did the doctor just say? If your grandmother needs surgery, there might be danger."

Ji Chiqian then put his phone back in his pocket. He looked up at the elderly man in the intensive care unit with a worried expression.

Last night, the old lady suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital. She was in intensive care all night before coming out of the operating room.

He pursed his thin lips and said coldly, "Let's focus on recovering first, and we'll talk about the surgery later."

"That's what I think too. Even if surgery is necessary, we need to be fully prepared."

After Madam Ji finished speaking, she looked at Ji Chiqian, hesitated for a moment, and said, "When do you plan to tell Lu Ning all about this?"

Ji Chiqian lowered his eyelids: "I haven't found an opportunity yet."

"Your grandmother asked me to pass on a message to you. Either tell Lu Ning everything that happened back then, or you break up with her. That's the best choice for both of you!"

Madam Ji didn't want the two of them to develop a deep affection before making a choice, as that would only cause them more heartache.

Ji Chiqian didn't speak, but felt a little breathless.

"Qian, your grandma and I are doing this for your own good."

Madam Ji truly regretted urging Ji Chiqian to return. If she hadn't done so, perhaps the car accident wouldn't have happened back then.

But there's no going back in this world.

Standing in front of the intensive care unit, Ji Chiqian felt as if he were in a wasteland, unable to move an inch.

At this moment, Mo Shiyi came over with a lunchbox: "Aunt Ji, I made breakfast myself, please have some. You didn't get any rest last night, I can look after Grandma Ji here."

Mo Shiyi noticed that the atmosphere between Madam Ji and Ji Chiqian was a bit off, but she didn't want to ask directly.

When Mo Shiyi handed breakfast to Ji Chiqian, he didn't take it.

The man said coldly, "I have no appetite."

“Ah Ji, even if you don’t have an appetite, you should eat something, otherwise Grandma Ji will worry about you.”

Mo Shiyi said sincerely, "You should go and rest first. I will stay with Aunt Ji at the hospital. I have experience in taking care of patients, so don't worry."

"Go ahead and get busy. I'll call you if anything happens at the hospital."

Madam Ji also looked at Ji Chiqian: "I hope you can think carefully about what I just told you. This is also your grandmother's request."

Ji Chiqian glanced at the elderly man in the intensive care unit, then turned and left the hospital.

Mo Shiyi watched the man's retreating figure, then turned around and asked casually, "Aunt Ji, what did you say to A-Ji? I felt like he wasn't in a good mood."

"It's nothing, just about Grandma's surgery. You know he's always been very filial, so he can't make a decision."

Of course, Madam Ji did not tell Mo Shiyi about what happened back then.

Mo Shiyi nodded. She knew that Madam Ji hadn't told her the truth, and she guessed it must be related to Lu Ning.

She hasn't been able to find out the reason yet, but her intuition tells her it must be very important, otherwise Ji Chiqian wouldn't have this expression.

school.

After finishing her classes in the afternoon, Lu Ning spent all her time at the game base playing games, and she was particularly sharp when she was crushing others.

The team members at the base all sensed that Lu Ning was in a bad mood, and none of them dared to joke with her anymore.

Chen Guoguo quietly asked Lu Ning, "Captain, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."

Lu Ning forced a smile, trying to appear nonchalant, but those around her could tell she was in a bad mood.

When everyone went out to eat, Lu Ning received a message from Ji Chiqian asking her what she wanted to eat that night.

She glanced at it and replied expressionlessly, "There's a team dinner at the base tonight, I can't come."

Ji Chiqian was sitting in the car at this moment, and as he looked at Lu Ning's reply, his unease grew stronger.

He called Lu Ning, but no one answered.

He continued messaging: "Where are you eating? I have something for you."

But the message went unanswered, receiving no reply whatsoever.

Ji Chiqian loosened his tie, rolled down the car window to let the wind blow in, and it was clear that Lu Ning was indeed angry.

Lu Ning glanced at the message on her phone, but deliberately didn't reply.

She had drunk some wine, and Chen Guoguo pulled her back, saying, "Don't drink so much, or you'll get drunk."

But Lu Ning just wanted to drink at that moment.

After the meal, Lu Ning was walking unsteadily, and Chen Guoguo quickly supported her, saying, "Be careful."

Wang Yang walked over and said, "I'll carry her back. You can't help her; her legs are weak when she walks, and she'll fall down."

Chen Guoguo hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

A group of people helped the drunk Lu Ning cross the road.

Suddenly, a handsome man got out of a luxury car next to them. He walked over with a stern face and his gaze fell on Lu Ning.

Ji Chiqian frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to drink so much outside? I'll take you home."

Wang Yang took a step back: "Who are you?"

Ji Chiqian's eyes showed some displeasure: "I'm her boyfriend."

The students present exchanged glances, but none of them seemed to have seen the team leader's boyfriend before.

Chen Guoguo stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, but we've never seen you before and can't confirm your identity, so we can't hand the captain over to you to take away."

Ji Chiqian patted Lu Ning's face: "Wake up, tell them who I am?"

Lu Ning groggily opened her eyes, and upon seeing the man in front of her, she said defiantly, "I don't know you!"

Ji Chiqian's face immediately darkened: "Lu Ning, this joke isn't funny."

Chen Guoguo forced herself to speak: "Lu Ning is drunk right now, and she may be talking nonsense, but I'm her roommate, and I'll take her back to the dorm safely. Let's talk about it tomorrow when she wakes up."

Ji Chiqian eventually withdrew his hand and restrained himself from saying anything more.

He followed at a distance until he saw Lu Ning being helped into the dormitory, and then he looked away.

Ji Chiqian, feeling helpless, searched online: "What should I do if my girlfriend is angry and ignoring me because I didn't reply to her messages promptly?"

He memorized all the ways to apologize and appease people.

The next day, when Lu Ning woke up, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"You finally woke up."

Lu Ning turned her head and saw Chen Guoguo. She yawned and sat up: "I drank too much last night, didn't I?"

"Lu Ning, did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"

Lu Ning paused for a moment: "What did I say when I was drunk last night?"

"You didn't say anything, but it seems your boyfriend waited outside the school all night."
