Ji Qingyun sobered up a bit instantly. After giving her an apologetic look, he took his phone and walked out.
It was just a little bit left. Damn this stupid phone.
Leng Jing watched the duck that was about to be in her mouth fly away. She was almost mad with anger. Her little excitement just now had completely disappeared. She got up and angrily returned to her seat.
About three or four minutes later, Ji Qingyun calmly returned to his seat and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. There's something going on at the company. I'm afraid I can't accompany you for dinner."
The call just now was from the company, saying that there was something that needed Ji Qingyun to go back and deal with.
Leng Jing didn't want to let him go, but before she could open her mouth to refuse, Ji Qingyun's words came again, "As compensation, I'll put today's meal on my account. I'll personally apologize to you when I have a chance in the future."
Since he had said so, Leng Jing didn't feel good about refusing anymore. She could only nod with a forced smile.
"I'll take you home first."
The two of them went out. Ji Qingyun looked down at his phone and then turned to look at the person beside him.
Leng Jing waved her hands again and again. "No need. I'll call the servant at home to pick me up later. You go and get busy with your own business first."
She found that she seemed to be more and more like a good wife and mother in front of Ji Qingyun.
"It's getting a bit cold. How can you wait here alone? I'm not in a hurry. It's okay to take you home first." Without giving her a chance to refuse, Ji Qingyun led her to the car door and thoughtfully opened the door for her.
The anger that had built up all night finally dissipated completely the moment he opened the car door. Leng Jing nodded with a beaming smile.
After safely sending Leng Jing to the door of the villa, Ji Qingyun turned the car around and headed for the company.
Watching the car driving away, Leng Jing's little face blushed involuntarily.
Early the next morning, before Leng Jing was fully awake, she heard a lot of noise downstairs.
"Can't people sleep in the early morning? It's so noisy!" Leng Jing was filled with anger. Standing on the second - floor corridor, she scolded.
Because she was sleepy, she hadn't even opened her eyes yet.
It instantly became quiet downstairs. It seemed that her scolding had worked.
Hearing that there was no more noise to disturb her sleep, Leng Jing turned around contentedly and was about to go back for a nap.
"Miss, where shall we put your flowers?" Aunt Chen stammered, sounding a bit lacking in confidence.
Flowers? Leng Jing was suddenly wide awake. Where did the flowers come from? She didn't remember ordering any flowers.
"What flowers?" Leng Jing instantly woke up completely. She turned around and looked downstairs in confusion.
Sure enough, on the coffee table in the downstairs living room, there was a large bouquet of flowers. Judging from the packaging and the variety of the flowers, they should be quite expensive.
Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment and then asked suspiciously, "Just now, someone sent over a bouquet of flowers and told us it was for the miss. Don't you know who sent it, miss?"
All the sleepiness disappeared. Leng Jing rushed downstairs in her slippers and carefully examined the flowers on the coffee table.
There was a small card on the flower bouquet. Leng Jing looked at the words on the card, and the smile on her lips grew wider and wider. In the end, she could hardly close her mouth.
The servants all looked at her in puzzlement, not knowing what she was laughing about.
It turned out that this bouquet of flowers was sent by Ji Qingyun as an apology for his rudeness last night.
On the other hand, it was also a birthday gift for Leng Jing.
Leng Jing was a bit angry because of what happened last night, but after seeing the flowers in her arms, she couldn't be angry anymore. Instead, her heart was filled with warmth, and even the morning grumpiness had completely disappeared.
In today's society, such a warm and considerate man is hard to find even with a lantern. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet one.
Since she had met him, she would never let him go easily no matter what. She must win this man over.
What was Song Ge? She would definitely outshine Song Ge.
Leng Jing, who was still dejected last night, instantly regained her energy after seeing the flowers sent by Ji Qingyun.
Song Ge finished getting dressed and came downstairs. While still on the stairs, she saw Leng Jing's such a smile.
Looking at the flowers in her arms, she had a faint guess in her heart.
It was really strange that someone actually sent her flowers. This was definitely the first time. Song Ge gave her a casual look and didn't show much reaction.
She wasn't very interested in the flowers, especially the ones sent to Leng Jing.
Thinking like this, when she went to the kitchen for breakfast, she passed by Leng Jing intentionally or unintentionally, keeping a bit of distance from her.
"Do you think these flowers are beautiful?" The more Leng Jing thought about it, the happier she was. She directly put the flowers back on the coffee table and asked happily.
The servants tilted their heads and took a few looks, then nodded in unison: "They are very beautiful. We rarely see such beautiful flowers."
Based on their years of work experience here, no matter what Leng Jing asked them, they had to answer well. Otherwise, they would definitely be scolded badly by her.
Leng Jing lifted her chin proudly and said, "Of course. After all, the person has good taste. If they weren't beautiful, they wouldn't have been chosen."
The servants quickly echoed, but they were already feeling a bit uncomfortable. When would the miss let them go? They still had work to do.
Leng Jing looked around the room contentedly, probably thinking about where to put the flowers. But after looking around, she still couldn't decide.
It wasn't suitable to put them anywhere. There was no proper place for the flowers in the living room. Leng Jing shook her head disappointedly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Song Ge walking towards the dining room as if nothing had happened.
"Do you think this bouquet of flowers is beautiful?" Leng Jing snorted, lifting her chin high, looking extremely arrogant.
Song Ge ignored her and walked straight past her.
"Song Ge, you woman! Didn't you hear me talking to you?" Leng Jing felt like being splashed with cold water. Her face looked a bit unpleasant.
Why didn't this woman take her seriously? She actually pretended not to hear her words on purpose.
Only then did Song Ge stop and looked at her with a half - smile. "You were talking to me? I thought you were talking to them."
"Not bad." Song Ge just glanced at them and didn't say anything more.
"I knew you would say they were beautiful. After all, no one would send you flowers." There was a smile in Leng Jing's eyes and a hint of disdain in her words.
She didn't believe that this woman would ever receive flowers. Even if someone treated her differently, it was just for fun.
Song Ge was speechless and didn't want to talk to her. She turned around and left.
"Don't think that just because my uncle and the others treat you differently now means they really like you. In fact, you're just a pet of his. When my uncle gets tired of you someday, you'll just wait to be kicked out of the house." Leng Jing was so angry at her ignoring that she was fuming. In front of everyone in the room, she sneered.
