Chapter 2928

He took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. He knew that smoking was harmful to one’s health, but ever since Shen Feng took her away from him, he could only rely on cigarettes and sleeping pills to continue living. That was why he had the courage to tell himself again and again that he must find her.

Cheng Ningyuan obviously didn’t smoke and wasn’t used to the smell of smoke, but in order to prove that he was a man and not a boy, he resisted the pungent smell of nicotine burning.

Ning Yuan coughed lightly but still spoke in a sincere tone,””When we were at the beach, I was the one who judged the heart of a gentleman with my own mean measure. However, I don’t know anything about being poisoned. I only met Pei Pei in Japan, and I heard from Wenxin and Pei Pei that she had depression before she went to Japan, and she couldn’t remember anything from the past. I always thought that the medicine she took was to resist depression and regulate her mood. ”

“I can’t explain to you the matters between Shen Feng, PEI GE, and I in a short time.” Seeing that Cheng Ningyuan was feeling uncomfortable from the smoke, Ji Ziming did not wait for the cigarette to finish and put it out.

Then, he squinted his eyes and raised his chin,”‘I can tell you for sure that my love for her is no less than my love for Shen Feng. In fact, it might even be more than that. But as for Shen Feng’s character, I won’t comment too much because you’re following Shen Feng. If I say too much, it would seem like I’m raising my own status. I’ve said it before, time will tell the truth. ”

Just then, Wen Xin’s voice rang out from the main entrance,””Is anyone there? I’m here to deliver medicine to sister Pei Pei! Hurry up and open the door!”

Cheng Ningyuan and Ji Ziming had clearly heard her. They quickly ended their conversation and rushed to open the door. They then had Wen Xin bring the medicine to the room upstairs.

Seeing Wenxin enter the room with the medicine, the weight in Ji Ziming’s heart finally lifted.

Hence, she continued to wait in the corridor outside with Cheng Ningyuan. This time, the two did not talk about anything else. Ji Ziming carried Cheng Ningyuan out a few more steps and started smoking one cigarette after another.

The lights were waning, the city was bustling, and the neon lights made the endless night seem even more lonely and miserable.

In si linna’s apartment, the clock on the wall pointed to eight in the evening, but Cheng Qian still hadn’t left. He had been sitting on the sofa, sipping on the little red wine left in the bottle, waiting for si linna’s decision. The two of them clearly hadn’t even gone out for dinner after carefully watching the video.

“Do you have anything in your fridge? You don’t look like you’re in the mood to treat me to a meal, so why don’t I just cook something for tonight?” Cheng Qian suddenly put down the glass in his hand and straightened up from the sofa.

Si linna was obviously too absorbed in her thoughts. With one hand holding Cheng Qian’s phone and the other supporting her chin, she turned her lively eyes thoughtfully, her eyebrows still tightly knitted.

“Hello? Did you hear what I said?” Cheng Qian snatched his phone from her hand and asked in a raised voice. His handsome face looked a little serious at this moment.

Si linna quickly came back to her senses. She looked in the direction where the phone had been taken and looked at Cheng Qian’s face. She asked in confusion,””Ah, what did you ask me?”

Cheng Qian rolled his eyes at her and reiterated,””You’re not hungry? What time is it already?”

It would have been fine if Cheng Qian hadn’t said anything. After he said that, si linna’s stomach really grumbled twice. This sound really suited the situation.

Seeing Cheng Qian trying to hold back his evil smile and looking at her stomach, si linna hurriedly covered her stomach with a red face and said embarrassedly,””Hehe, you’ve asked at the right time!”

“It’s not that I asked at the right time, but that you’ve been abusing your stomach all this time. It’s now learning to protest by itself!” He shook his head and continued,”alright, do you have anything to eat in your fridge?” I’ll just make something to deal with it. After eating, I’ll study how to make good use of this video. ”

“Oh, there should be. You can go and look for it yourself.” Si linna said lightly. When she was abroad, she usually ate Western food outside. Even if she made her own breakfast, she would usually make a simple breakfast.

When they returned to China, they basically went to the cafeteria, and on their rest days, they relied on Meituan’s take-out. She felt that it was really convenient to order takeaway in China.

In fact, Cheng Qian had already guessed most of it. An elite who had returned from abroad like si linna obviously didn’t know how to cook, so he didn’t have too much hope. His eyes darkened, and he got up from the sofa and went straight to the refrigerator.

Seeing him leave, si linna fell into deep thought again. In fact, she was secretly happy when she watched the video because she now had an absolutely valid reason to make Ji Ziming submit to her.

However, when she thought of how Ji Ziming had been chasing after PEI GE and how Cheng Qian had appeared out of nowhere to stop her plans, she hesitated again. After all, the video was taken by Cheng Qian. He would definitely use the video as an excuse to ask her to do this and that. In this way, she could not rest easy.

She looked at Cheng Qian’s back and was lost in thought when she suddenly saw Cheng Qian stick half of his body out of the floor-to-ceiling double-door refrigerator.

He turned to si linna and said,”hey, si linna, I’ve really overestimated you.” I thought there wouldn’t be anything good in your refrigerator, but I really didn’t expect that there would be nothing but a pack of frozen dumplings in there. ”

After he finished speaking, Cheng Qian took out the pack of frozen dumplings and waved them in front of si linna with a bitter smile.

Si linna wasn’t surprised. On the contrary, she adjusted her clothes on the sofa with a calm expression and said,””Is there a problem? I’ve said before that I don’t usually cook. This pack of frozen dumplings was given to me by the property manager downstairs when I first moved in. ”

Cheng Qian closed the refrigerator door and no longer said anything. Instead, a faint smile outlined on the corner of his mouth. He shook his head and put the bag of frozen dumplings on the table.

Si linna also slowly got up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen. She disapprovingly watched as Cheng Qian rolled up his sleeves, opened the lid of the pot, picked up a pot of water, and put it on the induction stove to boil.

Seeing si linna walk over, Cheng Qian said with confidence,””It’ll be done in a while. You can go and sit first. Let me tell you what it means to have a sense of ceremony in life!”

Si linna nodded dumbly. She couldn’t believe that Cheng Qian could actually cook. Although she was a little surprised and even a little touched, she kept reminding herself in her heart that she must not compromise or give in about the video.
