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

Ji Chiqian walked straight over and said, "Then why don't you just come and ask me directly?"

Lu Ning heard the voice behind her, turned around and saw Ji Chiqian walking towards her, his gaze deep and dark.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Ji Mo said, "I'm going to the restroom."

After all, he shouldn't stay here and be a third wheel at a time like this.

Lu Ning looked up at the approaching man: "So why did you retire in the first place?"

"You know who I am?"

When Ji Chiqian saw her ask this question, he naturally guessed that she knew about his past time with the Qiuqiu team.

Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, I only recently found out that you're the legendary master, and your signature twelve-hit combo is..."

She paused for a moment after saying this.

I almost let it slip.

After all, this isn't a past life.

Ji Chiqian pressed, "What happened to my twelve-hit combo?"

Lu Ning paused for a moment before replying, "It's nothing, your twelve-hit combo is just hard to learn."

Even with his hands-on instruction, it still took her a very long time to learn, and he criticized her many times.

But in the end, he never gave up on himself.

As Lu Ning thought of everything he had done silently in his past life, a wave of complex emotions washed over her.

She sighed silently. Humans are truly strange creatures, constantly changing.

She was still resentful towards him not long ago.

Ji Chiqian looked down at him and asked, "Then why are you sighing?"

"I was thinking about how hard it is to practice a twelve-hit combo, so what's wrong with sighing?"

Lu Ning looked at him: "Manager Zhao Gao told me that you retired because of a car accident, is that true?"

Ji Chiqian recalled: "I guess so. At that time, my father had an accident, and I couldn't continue playing games to shirk my responsibilities."

He looked down at Lu Ning: "That car accident changed you, and it changed my fate too."

No one can resist the mighty wheel of fate.

Lu Ning looked at him: "No regrets?"

"I don't regret it, and there's nothing to regret. But it's really impressive that you were able to teach yourself a twelve-hit combo."

Ji Chiqian was quite surprised.

Hearing his praise, Lu Ning felt inexplicably guilty, after all, it had taken him a long time to teach her how to do it.

It was because of their time together that she developed feelings for a complete stranger she met online.

But this unrequited love ended with the tragedy of her previous life.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "That's because I'm very smart."

Some people in her past life said things like she was stupid.

Ji Chiqian nodded: "You are indeed very smart."

Lu Ning was really bad at praising herself like that, and always felt like she was taking advantage of him, since he didn't know how to appreciate it.

Ji Chiqian looked at her: "Did you go back to the Lu family for dinner tonight?"

"correct."

When Lu Ning spoke, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Ji Chiqian frowned: "Did they make things difficult for you because of my mother's matter?"

He knew the Lu family members quite well.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's not because of that, but because of Qin Xiang."

She recounted Qin Xiang's fall in a very calm tone, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

Ji Chiqian felt a pang of sympathy and held her shoulders, saying, "They don't deserve it."

"I know, I just felt uncomfortable, but I didn't take it to heart. After all, I have enough now, and I'm content."

She probably hasn't felt any family affection since her parents passed away.

But she has other things too.

Lu Ning looked at the man in front of her: "Lu Nanfeng told me that the child in Qin Xiang's belly is not Lu Wu's, just like my previous guess."

"This is not surprising at all."

Lu Ning's eyes held a hint of mockery: "But I bet the child isn't Gu Yan's, is it? If that's true, wouldn't Qin Xiang be able to gain status through her child in the future?"

"That's just wishful thinking. Gu Yan's mother is no pushover. In a large family, children are never considered precious, let alone an illegitimate child."

Lu Ning also thought of Gu Yan's mother; she was indeed a woman with cunning.

There's a saying that evil people will be punished by other evil people.

"Let's not talk about these people anymore, I almost forgot about the important matter. Lu Xicheng said he'll leave once the lawsuit is over, and if Auntie's treatment isn't finished by then, I'll have to go back with him."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she saw Ji Chiqian frowning, clearly showing his disagreement.

Ji Chiqian thought for a moment and replied, "We'll talk about it later."

"That's what I replied to him too. What if Auntie doesn't need his people to treat her at that time? Poisoning shouldn't be a problem as long as there's an antidote."

Ji Chiqian thought so too, but Lu Xicheng's words probably had another meaning.

Lu Xicheng wouldn't help so easily, but he kept refusing to state his conditions.

Saying they want to go back to the island now is just a test.

Ji Chiqian's mind raced with conflicting thoughts, but he didn't say anything to put Lu Ning in a difficult position, as he didn't want to cause her any trouble.

He will find time to contact Lu Xicheng separately to talk.

He didn't want Lu Ning to make sacrifices in the process.

Lu Ning glanced at the time: "I've delivered the message, I'll head back now."

"I send you."

"No need, I drove."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, he still escorted her to the elevator.

A silence fell between the two.

Lu Ning looked up and could only see the shadows of the two people on the elevator door, which made her feel a little awkward.

The elevator doors opened quickly, and Lu Ning stepped inside.

She and Ji Chiqian stood facing each other, neither of them speaking, until the elevator doors slowly closed.

At the last moment, the man reached out and blocked the elevator.

The elevator doors reopened, and Lu Ning was startled. What was he going to do?

Ji Chiqian stood at the door, looking down at her: "Back to school, or back to the apartment?"

"Go back to school."

She usually goes back to school when she has nothing to do, since she's alone in the apartment.

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. Was this what he was going to say?

He slowly withdrew his hand, and this time the elevator doors closed smoothly, cutting off their view of each other.

For some reason, Lu Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

As she walked out of the hospital, she suddenly turned around and saw a tall and upright figure standing in the corridor.

The night was deep, and she couldn't see his facial features or expression.

All she knew was that he was looking at her.

Lu Ning hurriedly looked away, her heart beating much faster than usual.

Ji Chiqian watched Lu Ning's car drive away, a slight smile playing on his thin lips.

Ji Mo walked up to him: "Brother, have you two made up?"

"Ask less."

Ji Mo raised an eyebrow: "That means they haven't made up."

Ji Chiqian rested one hand on the windowsill: "Take it slow, we have plenty of time."

His gaze was fixed outside when he saw a woman being awkwardly blocked outside the hospital.

Ji Mo's expression changed drastically: "Isn't that Mo Shiyi? How dare she come here?"

Ji Chiqian said coldly, "Get her out of here."

Ji Mo rolled up his sleeves and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let me go."

He had tolerated Mo's family for a long time.
