Chapter 5 The Door Is Open
Mrs. Yan was angry, but she was reluctant to let go of her granddaughter. Ji Zhisheng’s heart skipped a beat when she saw how alike Mrs. Yan was with her late grandmother.
Ji Zhisheng held Mrs. Yan’s hand and smiled in a playful manner, “I won’t leave since you have finally come out of your room.”
Mrs. Yan shrugged Ji Zhisheng’s hand off and turned around.
“Hmph! If it weren’t because I asked Qianmo to get you to come over by threatening him, you wouldn’t come and visit me for the rest of my life, right?!”
“Oh, grandma. It’s because I was occupied with something else.”
“You’re a girl. What could you possibly be occupied with?”
“I have to work. I know we have everything at home, but I want to give back to the society as well.”
Finally, Mrs. Yan gave in to Ji Zhisheng.
Mrs. Yan touched Ji Zhisheng’s face as if she was upset.
“Look at how skinny you are. Even though you have to work, you can’t exhaust yourself.” Ji Zhisheng took the opportunity and grabbed Mrs. Yan’s hand as she blinked in excitement.
“So, grandma you’re not angry, right?”
“How can I stay angry at you? Move back and stay with us from today onwards!”
Move into Yan Mansion?
Ji Zhisheng replied anxiously, “Grandma, work is really hectic recently. It will be inconvenient for me to move back because I’m currently staying nearby my company. I promise you I’ll be back to visit you frequently.”
“But…”
Yan Qianmo interrupted their conversation before Mrs. Yan could finish her sentence.
“Grandma, since Le Le is back, it’s time to eat, right?”
Mrs. Yan forgot what she was about to say. She touched her empty stomach, “Indeed, I’m hungry. Let’s go grab something to eat together.”
Mrs. Yan brought up the topic again while they were eating. She wanted Ji Zhisheng to move back to Yan Mansion. In the end, Ji Zhisheng and Yan Qianmo worked together and persuaded Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan agreed to let Ji Zhisheng stay by herself outside, but she had a condition. She wanted Ji Zhisheng to stay for this night.
Ji Zhisheng couldn’t do anything about it. She gave in to Mrs. Yan’s request.
Ji Zhisheng stayed in the guestroom where she had been in the afternoon.
The maids were efficient in their work. By the time Ji Zhisheng returned to her room, everything she needed was prepared.
Ji Zhisheng was exhausted. She washed her face and laid on the bed as she stared at the ceiling while massaging her temples.
Ji Zhisheng was dumbfounded when she recalled what happened today.
She couldn’t believe that she agreed to such an absurd request from Yan Qianmo.
However, Ji Zhisheng decided to take it easy since she had agreed to this.
…
Ji Zhisheng began to review domestic laws and penal codes after she had taken a break in the afternoon.
In the evening, the maids knocked on her door and told her it was time for dinner.
She closed the book and went out.
Mrs. Yan was already sitting in the dining hall by the time Ji Zhisheng made her way there.
Mrs. Yan spoke the moment she saw Ji Zhisheng.
“Le Le, go get your brother. It’s time for dinner. He told me that he will be joining us after he changed, but it takes him so long.”
Ji Zhisheng was speechless.
Ji Zhisheng couldn’t bother the maids because they were occupied with their own tasks as well. She had no choice but to go upstairs again.
Ji Zhisheng reached Yan Qianmo’s room; the door was left open. She entered his room because she thought that he must have finished changing.
Ji Zhisheng knocked and made her way into Yan Qianmo’s room.
“Mr. Yan, grandma said…”
Before Ji Zhisheng could finish her sentence, a figure showed up in front of her.
Yan Qianmo only had a pair of trunks on. He had some casual clothes on his hand and was about to dress himself. Yan Qianmo was stunned and stopped whatever he was about to do the moment he saw Ji Zhisheng barge into his room.
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Three seconds later, Ji Zhisheng finally returned to her senses and immediately rushed out of his room.
“Sorry!”
Ji Zhisheng had already made her way out of Yan Qianmo’s room before she finished her sentence.
Yan Qianmo’s lips slightly curled upwards.
Yan Qianmo walked out of his room after he got changed. He saw Ji Zhisheng, who was blushing, waiting outside his room.
Ji Zhisheng explained embarrassedly, “Erm… You left your door open, so…”
“I forgot to close the door. Sorry.”
Ji Zhisheng didn’t have the courage to look Yan Qianmo in the eyes.
“Grandma sent me to get you. She said it’s time for dinner.”
“Okay.”
Yan Qianmo led the way, while Ji Zhisheng followed behind him.
Ji Zhisheng looked at Yan Qianmo’s back. She began to recall what she saw back then; his rock hard abs, skinny waist, and muscular arms…
Oh God. What am I thinking?
It was all Ni Qiaoqiao’s fault. She was afraid that Ji Zhisheng wasn’t interested in men and sent her a bunch of male model’s photos. Subconsciously, she began to compare Yan Qianmo’s body to those of the models.
Ji Zhisheng shook her head vigorously and tried to get rid of the images she had in mind.
…
In the dining hall.
Mrs. Yan had her eyes locked on Ji Zhisheng when she saw her walking down with Yan Qianmo.
Mrs. Yan was shocked, “Hey, Le Le. Why are you blushing?”
Ji Zhisheng was at a loss for words.
Mrs. Yan was worried because Ji Zhisheng didn’t reply to her, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji Zhisheng could feel that Yan Qianmo was staring at her as well. She was embarrassed and hoped that she could bury her head in the sand.
I can’t tell her that I’m imagining her grandson in my mind, right?
“Grandma, I’m fine. I’m kinda hot because of the weather today.” Ji Zhisheng purposely fanned herself with her hand.
“Hot?” Mrs. Yan was confused. “But, it rained in the afternoon. The temperature fell at least several degrees.”
Ji Zhisheng was speechless.
