Qiao man took out the porridge and was about to carry it out when she saw the tall man leaning against the door frame behind her.

After bathing, his hair was still wet. He was wearing a loose gray bathrobe and the belt around his waist was loosely tied, revealing his firm chest and wheat-colored skin.

Between the movements, the charm of a mature man was clearly visible.

Qiao man smiled at him, her eyes showing a deliberate attempt to curry favor with him. Her voice was soft and indifferent. “I’m hungry, I made some porridge, do you want to join me? ”

“I didn’t realize that you were so friendly! ” The man sneered and walked past her. He walked to the fridge, took a bottle of ice drink, opened it, and drank a few mouthfuls.

It would be a lie to say that she did not care about these words.

However, when she was reduced to worrying about her mother’s medical expenses, all her pride and dignity were not worth mentioning.

Qiao man continued to smile. The warm light from the kitchen shone on her delicate and small facial features, casting a shadow over them.

She said, “Ah Shen, this is the first time in my life that I’ve washed my hands and made soup for someone. ”

The man raised his eyebrows and simply leaned lazily against the counter, his eyes turning cold. “Miss Qiao, are you always so sincere when you need something from someone? Tell me, what is it? ”

To be able to make her, the daughter of a wealthy family, wash her hands and make soup, the price must be not small.

He continued to drink the ice-cold drink, waiting for her to speak.

Qiao man did not hide anything and went straight to the point. “I heard that in three days, you will attend Lin Zhengchen’s 80th birthday banquet. ”

Ji Yunshen looked at the transparent liquid in the ice-cold bottle. The corners of his lips curled up, and he gently shook it. His thin lips lifted slightly. “Qiao Man, did I mention that you… are very greedy? ”

After the incident with Lin Yan, the Qiao and Lin families cut off all contact and stopped moving.

Lin Zhengchen’s birthday banquet, let alone the Qiao family, even those who were related to the Qiao family would not be invited by the Lin family. If they wanted to go in, they could only go through Ji Yunshen.

She was very calm and peaceful. Her eyes were clear as she looked at him. “I only need you to bring me in. As for the rest, I haven’t thought about it. ”

He was the high and mighty heir of the JI family, and his every move was highly anticipated by the world. If his female companion attended the banquet, it would be the same as announcing the matter between the two of them in a high-profile manner.

Although the media had made wild rumors about the two of them after Ji Han’s birthday banquet, the rumors that had not been confirmed were just rumors. No one would take them seriously.

And now, it was obvious that Ji Yunshen did not want to make such a big fuss.

It could be that he hated Ji Han, or it could be that he was concerned about Ji Han’s feelings. More likely, he had not told Ji Han about this matter.

But no matter which possibility it was, she had never thought of trying to prove anything in a high-profile manner.

She did not want to make things too unpleasant for a mutually beneficial transaction.

Ji Yunshen did not say anything. He placed the ice-cold drink bottle on the counter, stood up, and walked towards the door.

“You haven’t given me an answer yet. ” Qiao man poured out the porridge she had prepared, took off her apron, and looked at the man’s back as she asked.

Ji Yunshen casually asked back, the emotions in his voice hard to distinguish. “If I refuse, will you not go? ”

“No, ” she answered crisply.

Ji Yunshen did not say anything in the end and went upstairs.

Qiao man thought that he had probably tacitly agreed.

Back in the basement, she curled up on the SOFA and lay down for a long time before she felt sleepy.

In the dream, there were many shadows, coming and going, but when she woke up, she could not remember what she had dreamt.
