Song Ge found a seat for herself and sat down alone. She took a couple of sips of wine and ate some fruits.
She still remembered when Zhai Cheng introduced himself just now. Song Ge wasn't sure if what she had done was right or not.
Suddenly, someone sat down beside her. The person was a man in his fifties, dressed in a suit.
Song Ge lowered her eyes. She had an impression of him. He should be one of those she had seen just now.
"Miss Song," the man raised his glass.
Out of politeness, Song Ge also raised her glass. They clinked glasses and she took a small sip. She still had no idea what the man's intention was.
The man smiled. "I've watched Zhai Cheng grow up since he was a kid. He's just too competitive. When two people are together, they need to tolerate each other in everything."
Hearing this, Song Ge understood. The man came to have a heart - to - heart talk with her. Maybe he was here to tell them to get along well.
"I'll definitely come to your wedding when the time comes."
"Okay," Song Ge just replied.
The man talked a lot before he finally left.
Song Ge let out a sigh of relief. She just wanted to find a quiet place to sit for a while, but there were always people disturbing her.
She stood up and was going to find an unnoticeable place. She looked around and took a fancy to a small corner by the window.
Song Ge walked over and sat down. This place was really hidden, and she could see everything in the hall.
"Does Miss Song also like a place like this?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded. Song Ge followed the voice and found that there was another person here. It was Ji Qingzhen.
Ji Qingzhen stood up and sat closer to Song Ge.
Looking at the man's side profile, Song Ge felt a moment of daze. Their shadows slowly overlapped, and her vision blurred.
Ji Qingzhen turned his head. Seeing the tears in her eyes, he gave a soft laugh. "What, are you thinking of my brother?"
Song Ge wiped away her tears. The next second, she looked at Ji Qingzhen in disbelief. This man might not be as simple as she thought. He could easily see through her mind.
Probably because Leng Jing noticed that Ji Qingzhen was missing, she had been looking for him in the hall. Song Ge saw her at a glance.
Actually, Song Ge felt guilty towards Leng Jing. If it weren't for her, Leng Jing wouldn't have met Ji Qingyun, and even less would she have met Ji Qingzhen. Song Ge didn't know if all this was a blessing or a disaster.
Ji Qingzhen also saw Leng Jing looking for him, but he didn't go out. Instead, he watched coldly.
Song Ge picked up the wine beside her and took a sip. She said, "Ji Qingzhen, to be honest, I can't figure you out."
Ji Qingzhen didn't say a word. He just looked at her, as if telling her to go on.
"You suddenly appeared, and Leng Jing thought you were Ji Qingyun. She was blinded by her emotions."
"Are you serious about marrying Leng Jing?" Song Ge turned her head and looked at him, wanting an answer.
Ji Qingzhen crossed his arms in front of his chest. There was no real smile in his eyes. "What do you think?" he said with a half - smile.
Song Ge felt a chill down her spine. She increasingly felt that Ji Qingzhen was not simple at all. She was also a bit angry because of his words. "I still stand by what I said before. If you're going to marry Leng Jing, please treat her well. Otherwise, please leave her."
"By what identity are you saying all these to me?" Ji Qingzhen countered.
Song Ge was speechless. Indeed, she wasn't exactly a friend of Leng Jing, nor were they relatives. But she just didn't want to see Leng Jing get hurt.
"I've said what I wanted to say. You can think it over. If you have any bad intentions, I won't let you off."
"Oh? Really?" Ji Qingzhen suddenly moved closer to Song Ge. A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
The next second, before Song Ge could react, she was pushed away and almost hit the table beside her.
Leng Jing looked at Song Ge angrily. She tightly grabbed Ji Qingzhen's hand with one hand. "Song Ge, stay away from him."
After all, Ji Qingzhen was Ji Qingyun's younger brother. No one could be sure if he would fall in love with Song Ge.
Song Ge knew that Leng Jing had misunderstood. She explained, "There's nothing between him and me."
"I don't want to hear you," Leng Jing covered her ears. All she could think about was the scene of Ji Qingzhen and Song Ge being so close just now.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were full of tears.
"Song Ge, you know I like him. I like him very much. So, could you please not take him away from me, okay?" Leng Jing pleaded.
This was the first time Song Ge saw Leng Jing giving in to her. At the same time, it also made her realize how important Ji Qingzhen was in Leng Jing's heart.
She frowned. "Leng Jing, I've never thought of doing that." She looked at Ji Qingzhen who had been standing behind Leng Jing, as if watching a show, and kindly reminded, "The person you should be most on guard against is him. I always feel that he has a purpose for approaching you."
Leng Jing looked back at Ji Qingzhen. Ji Qingzhen just smiled and didn't say a word.
Leng Jing was a bit emotional. "Song Ge, on what grounds do you say that about him? I won't allow it. I just like him and want to be with him."
"Leng Jing, calm down. Think about everything carefully. If, after you think it over calmly, you still want to marry him, it's up to you."
Leng Jing just sneered. "Song Ge, you're really funny. Who I'm with has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business."
She had always been protective, especially when it came to Ji Qingzhen.
Seeing that Leng Jing didn't listen to her at all, Song Ge knew that no matter what she said, Leng Jing wouldn't take it in.
Leng Jing walked up to Ji Qingzhen and flatteringly grabbed his hand. "Don't listen to her nonsense. I believe in you. I believe that your feelings for me are real."
Just thinking that they were about to get married, Leng Jing couldn't help but feel happy. Finally, he was going to belong to her.
Ji Qingzhen stroked her face and smiled. "I can understand Miss Song's concern. She's just worried about you."
Instead of defending himself, he was speaking well of Song Ge. This made Leng Jing hate Song Ge even more.
She pulled Ji Qingzhen's hand and walked up to Song Ge. "See? You slandered him, but he's still speaking well of you."
Song Ge shook her head helplessly and didn't want to say anything more.
Leng Jing took out an invitation from her bag and threw it into Song Ge's hand. "This is our wedding invitation. You must come and witness our happiness in person."
Song Ge felt as if the invitation was a hot potato.
Leng Jing pulled Ji Qingzhen out of the corner. She seemed to remember something and turned around. "Song Ge, if I find out next time that you speak ill of Ji Qingzhen, I will definitely not let it go."
After saying that, she left with Ji Qingzhen, leaving Song Ge lost in thought.
Despite the bustling atmosphere around her, Song Ge felt as if she was the only one there. She raised her eyes and saw Zhai Cheng in the crowd at a glance. Finally, she shifted her gaze away.
