Ji Qian looked at Ji Ning thoughtfully. “The ones going out with me this time are all my friends. I’m afraid you’ll feel uncomfortable if I bring you along. How about this? I’ll take you out during the summer break?”
“Okay!” Ji Ning nodded sweetly, “you are the best, sis!”
“Silly girl,” Ji Qian couldn’t help but laugh. She caressed Ji Ning’s hair as she teased her while sizing up the room, planning what to pack and take away later.
“I often use this skincare product. It’s not easy to buy it outside, so I’ll take it with me,” Ji Qian glanced at the makeup table, stuffed a small bottle of things into her suitcase, and then her gaze fell on the open textbook on the table. She had casually placed this here after reading it yesterday, so the problem was… she was debating whether to bring along her homework.
Ji Qian looked conflicted. Thinking of how Shen Hanxing had said she trusted her, she closed her eyes and decided to bring it with her! She couldn’t let down her sister-in-law’s trust! At worst, she could go back to her room at night to study secretly after the travel ended. If her friends didn’t know about it, they wouldn’t make fun of her!
Ji Ning’s eyes widened as she watched Ji Qian put her thick textbooks into her suitcase. “Do you still need to bring homework when you are traveling? Do you also need to study when you go out to play?”
“Of course! When you combine work and rest, you can’t slack in your studies,” Ji Qian tried to convince her seriously. “It’s no fun just playing. It’s just like how you practice the violin. You have to practice every day without stopping. It’s the same with studying.”
“Huh? Then I’d better not go out to play,” Ji Ning believed Ji Qian’s words, and her pretty little face scrunched up, “it’s too scary to bring the violin out to play.”
Thus, Ji Qian, who felt that her clothes and makeup took up too much space, ended up packing a suitcase full of books. When she went downstairs, she carried it, but it didn’t move. Ultimately, she had to call the chauffeur to bring it to the car.
On the weekend, Han Yin came early in the morning. During this period, she had been filming on the set. Even her studies made use of her free time on the set. The life of studying while filming was so busy that her head was about to explode. “Missing Girl” was a movie that Zheng Youcai had put in a lot of effort to shoot. She had been running all over the place during this period, rolling in the mud and shuttling through the forest. Han Yin, a good girl, had been tormented until her skin was darker. She grinned, revealing her mouth full of white teeth, which made her look even darker.
Even though Han Yin was tanned, she was still beautiful. But she looked much rougher. Shen Hanxing could not bear to look at her. “Didn’t you apply sunscreen when you were filming with the crew? How did you get so tanned?”
“I did, but I forgot to replenish it when I got busy,” Han Yin was energetic. She smiled and said, “Also, director Zheng Youcai said that it would be better if my character were a little darker, so there’s no need to put on makeup to make me look darker.”
Seeing that Han Yin was adapting well, Shen Hanxing didn’t say anything more.
Ji Ning widened her round eyes and quietly moved to Shen Hanxing’s side. She looked at Han Yin warily. She knew this girl had come over to compete with her for her sister-in-law’s favor! No one could snatch her sister-in-law away!
“Miss Han Yin, have you eaten breakfast?” Ji Mo’s eyes flashed. A harmless smile appeared on his fair and tender face. “If you don’t mind, why don’t we have some breakfast together? Even though we should treat the guest well, you have a good relationship with our sister-in-law. I’m sure you don’t mind if we treat you casually, right?” He tried to be polite. However, his words emphasized his identity as the host.
“Of course not!” Han Yin didn’t seem to hear the hidden meaning in Ji Mo’s words. She pulled out her seat with a smile and sat down. She didn’t treat herself as an outsider at all, “I grew up with Sister Hanxing. There’s no difference between us as blood sisters. The same goes for you two. Don’t be too polite with me.”
Ji Mo showed off his master’s demeanor. So, Han Yin mentioned the friendship she had with Shen Hanxing since they were young. Ji Mo and Han Yin’s eyes met, and looked into each other’s eyes with hostility. Ji Ning gripped her chopsticks tightly at the side, silently cheering for Ji Mo. She wanted him to chase away the woman who snatched their sister-in-law.
The breakfast was not calm.
“Hanxing, I got my pay,” After eating, Han Yin finally got down to business. She took out a bank card and lifted her chin proudly, “this is the money I want to return to you. Thank you!”
