Chapter 1403 - 1403 Siblings

1403 Siblings

On this end, Jian Changsheng tried his best to see his daughter.

On the other end, Jian Ai was having lunch with his son in the restaurant.

Adolescent children always developed surprisingly quickly. After not seeing him for two years, Jian Yichen had already grown to almost 1.8 meters tall.

The childishness had completely faded. The youth in front of her looked reserved and refined. He was not as energetic and lively as his peers, but there was an additional trace of coldness.

This was her biological brother. Jian Ai knew this very well, and Jian Yichen seemed to have already understood.

On the day they parted two years ago, Jian Yichen looked at her and wanted to say something, but he didn’t.

The two of them tacitly avoided this matter, but they maintained this relationship for a longer time.

Jian Ai looked at him for a long time. She could feel the change in Jian Yichen, but she felt he had not changed.

He was silent and overly mature, yet cute.

“How did you do?” Jian Yichen asked softly. Even his voice had changed.

Jian Ai smiled and nodded. “Not bad.”

“Did you still apply to Capital University?” Jian Yichen asked.

Jian Ai nodded again and asked, “What about you? Which university do you plan to enter next year?”

“I want to get into Capital University too,” Jian Yichen said bluntly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Jian Ai and added, “Of course not because of you. Capital University is also my ideal school.”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Jian Yichen and said playfully, “After not seeing you for two years, you’re still the same as before.”

“Impossible.” Jian Yichen denied it. “I’ve changed a lot. You just haven’t realized it yet.”

Seeing him deny her, Jian Ai’s smile deepened, but she didn’t refute him. She only nodded and said, “I should stay in Baiyun City before school starts. If you want to see me, you can contact me anytime.”

Jian Ai didn’t know that there was a sister’s love for her brother in her words.

‘If you want to see me.’ These words made Jian Yichen stop in his tracks. He looked up at Jian Ai and nodded silently.

The magnetic field between both was as strange as usual, but they did not feel uncomfortable. This was their usual pattern. Every time they meet, they might only say a few words but communicated more content in tacit silence.

She knew Jian Yichen.

Jian Yichen was the same.

At night, Jian Ai’s house was exceptionally lively.

Wang Yunmei especially applied for leave today. Wang Yunzhi’s family, Jiang Chunfen and Qiao Yuan’s family, Wu Shaoqi, and Wu Bi were also here to celebrate Jian Ai’s return.

Although this meal was a few days late, the college entrance examination was important. The families discussed celebrating after the examination.

“Sister, this painting hanging behind your sofa is abstract.” When Wang Yunzhi saw that Wang Yunmei’s family had new furniture, she couldn’t help but say, “The color matches your house quite well. I wonder what the painting is about.”

The house had an open kitchen. As Wang Yunmei busied herself in the kitchen, she smiled and said, “The one who produced ‘All in the World’ drew that painting.”

“This person is especially funny. He usually likes to draw. To attract investment for this drama, he even chased Xiao Yu to his house. After talking to Xiao Yu, he looked at the renovation at home and said that there was a painting missing from the background wall.”

“I didn’t care. I thought it was an unintentional sentence, but it was sent over a few days later. He said that he had drawn it himself. When Xiao Yu saw this, he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he invested in this drama.”

Hearing Wang Yunmei’s words, everyone in the living room laughed.

Qiao Yuan said, “In the end, this drama exploded. The viewership ratings exceeded four. The three newcomers the company sent to the production team became famous.”

“The entertainment circle is unpredictable. It’s a huge loss to miss some opportunities,” Jiang Chunfen added.

“Chunfen, why didn’t you bring the child over? Xiao Ai hasn’t even seen her,” Wang Yunmei suddenly asked.

When Jiang Chunfen heard this, she explained, “Her fever just recovered two days ago, so I didn’t bring her out today. My mother is watching her at home.”

Jiang Chunfen had a job now, so she returned to the workplace after her confinement. Her mother was worried about hiring a nanny, so she came over to help the two of them look after the child.

Wang Yunmei nodded in understanding. She looked at the pork ribs stew in the pot and then at her watch. She muttered, “Why aren’t Xiao Ai and Haoyu back yet?”

“Why don’t you call and ask?” Wang Yunzhi asked.

Wang Yunmei waved her hand. “There’s no hurry. We have to cook for a while.”

In the end, she didn’t forget to remind everyone present, “When Haoyu comes later, behave naturally. Don’t ask questions like the disciplinary committee and make Haoyu uncomfortable.”

Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other and smile. They had just announced their relationship, but Xiao Mei was already doting on her son-in-law like a mother-in-law.

Downstairs, Jian Ai and Ji Haoyu had just parked the car.

The two of them went to the mall to buy a pile of things. It was naturally Ji Haoyu’s idea.

“Are you very nervous?”

Jian Ai looked at Ji Haoyu and said. He came over directly after a meeting, so he was even wearing a black suit and leather shoes.

It looked formal, but it was too formal.

When Ji Haoyu heard this, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a bad and handsome smile. “I’m nervous? After your new home was renovated, I came over more often than you!”

Jian Ai looked at his smugness and rolled her eyes.

Indeed, she did not stay in the new house after it was renovated and left later.

Although she had not been around for the past two years, Ji Haoyu would often come over to see Wang Yunmei and take care of her family for Jian Ai.

Wang Yunmei told Jian Ai this when she returned.

Damn it. Thinking of this, she liked him even more!

Jian Ai organized her thoughts and naturally interlocked her fingers with Ji Haoyu’s before entering the elevator.

Wang Zichen opened the door.

...

“Xiao Ai.”

As soon as they met, Wang Zichen took the initiative to call her Xiao Ai instead of Jian Ai.

Jian Ai also smiled and greeted, “Hello…”

Wang Zichen’s gaze shifted to Ji Haoyu and he couldn’t help but feel inexplicably nervous. “Hello.”

Ji Haoyu smiled and nodded.

When the people in the room heard the commotion, they swarmed to the door. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jian Ai quickly greeted them one by one.

Fortunately, Ji Haoyu was already familiar with these people. He nodded and bowed in greeting.

This scene was like going to his mother-in-law’s maternal family to meet the parents. Ji Haoyu could not remember what had happened. In short, he bowed and greeted them to the sofa and sat down.

It felt completely different from when he usually came to her house as a guest because everyone’s aura had changed. There was a strange peace.

Everyone had a smile on their faces as they looked at the two of them intently.

Jian Ai couldn’t take it anymore. She immediately stood up and gritted her teeth. “I’ll officially inform everyone that Ji Haoyu and I are dating!”

...

Everyone present: The smile remained.

Ji Haoyu: “…”

Jian Ai blinked. It was too embarrassing!
