1244 Are You a Beast?
Jian Ai was chatting with Wang Zimeng when she heard Wang Yunmeiâs voice. She couldnât help but be stunned.
She seemed to have heard âHaoyu is here!â
Wang Zimeng also said, âSister, Aunt seems to be calling you!â
Jian Ai stood up and left the room. When she looked up, she saw Ji Haoyu standing in the living room, smiling at her.
Jian Ai stopped in her tracks. Before she could react, Ji Haoyu had already walked towards her.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you so happy to see me that youâre dumbfounded?â Ji Haoyu smiled at Jian Ai.
Jian Ai sized him up and drawledrawled, âWhy are you here?â
When Ji Haoyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows smugly. âOf course Auntie invited me. Moreover, whatâs wrong with you? Why didnât you tell me about Auntieâs birthday?â
Jian Ai immediately revealed a puzzled expression. It was her motherâs birthday. Why did she have to tell him?
Jian Ai sneered and glanced at Ji Haoyuâs hand. âBut youâre not here to celebrate her birthday! You came empty-handed?â
âAuntie said that I canât bring gifts. She said that this is a family rule.â Ji Haoyu leaned down slightly and put his face only a few millimeters away from Jian Aiâs face. He lowered his voice and said, âLook, Auntie already treats me as family.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Haoyu immediately stood up and raised his chin at the living room table. âBesides, I brought wine. Iâm not empty-handed.â
Jian Ai: ââŠâ
She realized that her mother had already bypassed her to have private contact with Ji Haoyu. Ever since she went to Italy last time, Ji Haoyu had completely entered their house freely and came to freeload from time to time.
This time, even on her motherâs birthday, Ji Haoyu received an invitation!
What did he drug her mother with?
âTsk!â Seeing Jian Aiâs unhappy expression, Ji Haoyu could not help but click his tongue. He wentwent forward and hug her shoulder. âWhy do you have such an expression? Isnât our relationship very peaceful now? Moreover, I think that our relationship is already above that of friends but below that of lovers. What do you think?â
âWhat do I think, my ass!â Jian Ai rolled her eyes mercilessly and slapped Ji Haoyuâs hand off her shoulder. She no longer cared about her motherâs private invitation to him and walked straight to the sofa in the living room. As she did so, she said to Ji Haoyu, âLetâs sit down and talk. I have serious business to tell you!â
Ji Haoyu smiled and casually took off his woolen coat. Just as he was about to walk over and sit, Wu Bi pulled him to a corner.
âWhatâs wrong?â Ji Haoyu blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at Wu Bi with a puzzled expression.
Wu Bi frowned and whispered to Ji Haoyu, âBoss, whatâs going on?â
âWhat do you mean?â Ji Haoyu looked at Wu Bi innocently and said, âWe know each other. You know!â
At the Langxing Gala, a few people bumped into each other. Wu Bi knew that Ji Haoyu and Jian Ai knew each other.
âI know you know each other, but I didnât know you were so familiar with each other,,â Wu Bi said.
Wu Bi was a member of the âBlazeâ organization, and Ji Haoyu was the leader of the organization. The two of them had known each other for many years and knew each other very well.
With Wu Biâs understanding of Ji Haoyu, it was almost impossible for him to appear at Jian Aiâs house like this. Were the two of them already so familiar with each other? Even Auntie Mei was so passionate about him!
Wu Bi felt a little uneasy because be it Ji Haoyu or the extent of the entire matter, he felt that it revealed a âconspiracyâ!
At this moment, Ji Haoyu said without hiding it, âI like Xiao Ai!â
Wu Bi: ââŠâ
What?
âWhat did you say?â Wu Biâs eyes widened, and his mind instantly shut down!
âI said I like Xiao Ai,,â Ji Haoyu repeated softly. Although he said it with a smile, there was no trace of a joke in his tone. Instead, it was filled with seriousness!
Wu Bi knew Ji Haoyu. He knew best how precious the word âlikeâ was to Ji Haoyu. All these years, he had never heard Ji Haoyu say that he liked someone!
He liked Xiao Ai?
How was that possible?! Xiao Ai was only fifteen years old!
âBoss, you said you likeâŠâ Wu Bi asked again, worried.
Ji Haoyu nodded without hesitation. âThe kind of like you think it is. The romantic kind between a boy and a girl!â
âNo!â Wu Bi broke down and growled. He looked at Ji Haoyu as if he had seen a ghost and said, âBoss, wake up. Sheâs my sister. Sheâs not an adult yet. Are you a beast?â
âSheâll become an adult,, eventually. Iâll wait for her to grow up!â Ji Haoyu raised his eyebrows and had no intention of retreating.
It was also because of this that Wu Bi was even more certain that Ji Haoyu was not joking!
âDoes she know?â At this moment, Wu Bi felt his heart tremble with every word he said. He couldnât help but feel nervous.
Ji Haoyu shrugged slightly with a smile in his eyes. âShe knows. Sheâs so smart, so s, so sheâll be able to tell!â
Although he had once said that he wanted to pursue her and she didnât seem to believe him, his liking for her was so obvious that he didnât believe that Jian Ai wouldnât feel it.
Wu Bi immediately took a deep breath. This was too big a piece of information, so much so that even he, who had always been calm, was almost defeated by this truth.
He wanted to ask the boss if he was serious, but he already had an answer in his heart.
Feeling Wu Biâs anxiety, Ji Haoyu raised his hand and hugged his neck. He smiled and said, âDonât worry, I wonât bully her.â
Wu Bi looked at Ji Haoyu. In the end, he could only nod gently.
On the sofa in the living room, Ji Haoyu and Wu Bi walked over and sat down. Jian Ai introduced, âLet me introduce you. This is my brother, Jian Yu.â
Jian Ai spoke to Ji Haoyu first. Then, she looked at her brother and said, âBrother, Young Master Ji, Momâs boss!â
The words âMomâs bossâ immediately pulled Ji Haoyuâs relationship with their family away. Jian Ai was doing this on purpose.
However, Ji Haoyu was thick-skinned. Ji Haoyu quickly stood up and shook Jian Yuâs hand warmly. He said, âXiao Ai and I are especially good friends and business partners. Auntie is also very close to me. Iâm like her biological son. Brother, itâs our first time meeting!â
Jian Yu shook Ji Haoyuâs hand in a daze. How could anyone in the business world of Baiyun City not know Ji Haoyuâs name? Jian Yu had also heard many stories about Ji Haoyu, but he never expected that on his motherâs birthday, Ji Haoyu would appear in their family.
Moreover, this personâs feeling differeddiffered completely from what he had heard!
Jian Ai immediately rolled her eyes and reminded him, âMy brother is only nineteen years old!â
Ji Haoyu said naturally, âItâs fine. Iâll still call you Brother!â
