Ji Tianqing was so proud that she had gotten a kiss from a beauty.
After driving the car into the garage, he entered the house in a good mood and saw Ji Tianyu sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
"You haven't rested yet?"
Ji Tianyu shook her head and asked impatiently,
"Where did you go? I asked Secretary Cui today, and she said that you left early in the morning. Not only did you skip work, but you also didn't enter the company until after work. This is really not like you at all!”
Ji Tianqing couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Why, are you controlling big brother now?"
Ji Tianyu blinked innocently. "Of course not. I'm just curious! You usually value your work more than your life. How could you possibly skip work like this? So there must be something fishy going on. Did you get a girlfriend? Why are you afraid that I'll find out?"
Seeing that he was smiling without answering, Ji Tianyu boldly guessed,"Don't tell me you really have a girlfriend?"
"What if Yang really has a girlfriend?”
Ji Tianyu was stunned for a moment before covering her mouth and exclaiming,"Wow! That's great. I have to tell Mother He and Uncle Fang as soon as possible.”
Ji Tianqing reached out and pulled her back. "They must be asleep. Don't wake them up.”
Ji Tianyu jumped and shouted excitedly. "But Big Brother has a girlfriend. This is great news for them. They will definitely be very happy when they know. Who taught you to always pick and choose? No girl is worthy of your attention. But now, you actually secretly got a girlfriend behind everyone's back. This is an amazing thing. Of course, you have to tell everyone as soon as possible.”
Ji Tianqing took off her tie and sat on the sofa.
"You're thinking too much. I've only just met her.”
"Can't we be a couple just because we've known each other for a short time?”Ji Tianyu asked.
Ji Tianqing smiled and ruffled her hair. "Girl, our relationship is really not what you think it is. She treats me coldly like a stranger.”He paused, then said,"Or perhaps it should be said that her attitude towards anyone is so cold!" If it weren't for the fact that I was looking for the glass slippers for you, I wouldn't have had any interactions with her.”
When Ji Tianyu heard this, she immediately understood.
"I heard from Secretary Cui that she was one of the people who had the glass shoes. Brother, did you get the glass shoes?”
"That's what I wanted to tell you."
Ji Tianyu had a bad feeling when she saw his serious expression.
"Brother, are you going to tell me that my birthday present is gone?”
Ji Tianqing raised her eyebrows. "It's not that it's gone, but it's changed to something else. Your birthday present is still the original set of jewelry. Yang found that the set of jewelry suits you very well, so on the way home just now, I asked Secretary Cui to keep the set of jewelry. Fortunately, she hasn't returned it yet, so the set of jewelry is still registered under your name.”
Ji Tianyu could not react in time. "Then the glass shoes…"
"Give it up!" Ji Tianqing said to her seriously.
"But, but didn't Big Brother say that he would find a way to help me get the glass shoes? Is it because we paid too little and the other party is not satisfied? Brother, I really want the glass shoes. Can't you help me think of a way?”
Ji Tianqing shook her head. "Girl, not everything can be bought with money. You still have to see if the other party is willing to sell it. If someone wants to buy your pair of diamond earrings, would you be willing to sell them?”
Ji Tianyu's eyes widened. "Of course not. That's the last birthday present Daddy gave me. I'd rather die than sell it.”
Ji Tianqing hugged her comfortingly. "So, that pair of diamond earrings is very important to you, and that glass slipper may also have a special meaning to the person who owns it. So, it's not just anyone who offers a high price can get it.”
Ji Tianyu looked at him silently for a while. There was not much sadness or disappointment in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of curiosity.
"Brother, don't tell me you want me to give up the glass shoes because you like her and don't want to make her sad?”
Ji Tianqing glanced at her. "What do you think?"
Ji Tianyu pointed at him and shouted,"I knew it."
At this moment, she was more curious about the woman than she was about the glass shoes.
"Brother, tell me quickly. What does that girl look like? To be able to catch your eye, she must not be an ordinary woman. I think she must be a great beauty, right?”
"Big Brother, what is her name, where does she live, what does she do, how old is she this year, and how many people are there in her family? Hurry up and tell me the truth. I really want to know! I'm very curious about her."
Ji Tianqing patted her head. "Are you doing a background check?”
Ji Tianyu rubbed her head pitifully. "Can't I? She might become my future sister-in-law. Since that's the case, the more detailed I know, the better! So I decided to meet her tomorrow. Brother, can you tell me her address?”She looked at Ji Tianqing longingly.
"Not good."
Seeing his merciless rejection, Ji Tianyu pouted on the spot.
"Big Brother, I'm not going to eat her. You don't have to be so nervous. I just want to build a good relationship with her. I want to ask her what she likes and doesn't like, how she feels about Big Brother, and to what extent…Ouch!”
She hugged her head and wailed. "Big brother, why did you hit me? Am I wrong?"
Ji Tianqing took off her suit jacket and stood up.
"Big Brother needs to rest first. You should rest early too.”
How could Ji Tianyu let him off so easily?
She hugged his arm. "Big brother, we are only siblings. How can you hide something from me? Aren't you afraid of breaking my heart? Besides, I only want to know about her because I want to help you. You're too much to treat your sister like this. You should at least let me know what kind of girl you're sacrificing my birthday present for, right?”
Ji Tianqing shook her head helplessly. "Big Brother didn't sacrifice your birthday present, so you can still get that set of jewelry.”
Ji Tianyu glared at him. "You know what I mean. I don't care! Anyway, you must tell me. Now, my curiosity about her is greater than my love for the glass shoes. I can give up the glass shoes, but I have to know everything about her.”
Ji Tianqing frowned. "You must know?"
Ji Tianyu hurriedly nodded. "Yes."
"Then think of a way yourself." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stairs, ignoring the stunned Ji Tianyu.
Ji Tianyu was so angry that her face turned red.
"Damn it, if I don't find out, my name isn't Ji Tianyu!”
Seven days later, Ji Tianyu arrived at Li Ziying's breakfast shop with a smug smile on her face.
"Big brother, big brother, if you didn't tell me, wouldn't I have found out myself?”
Ji Tianyu secretly leaned against the glass door and peeked inside. Unexpectedly, there were two busy figures inside.
"Strange, why are there two of them? Which one was the real one? I don't care."
She pushed the door open and walked straight into the breakfast shop.
"Welcome." The two female bosses of the shop said kindly at the same time.
Ji Tianyu carefully sized them up. The two women were both charming. They were equally beautiful and elegant, and they were equally well-dressed. She frowned and studied them for a long time, but she still could not guess which one was the woman her brother liked.
"May I know what Miss wants to eat?" Yu Xiaopei asked with a smile.
Ji Tianyu had a very good impression of her and returned her a friendly smile.
"Please give me a black tea and pancake.”
"Coming right up."
Ji Tianyu found a seat close to them and sat down. She studied them hard and suddenly noticed the glass shoes in the glass window.
"Wow!"
Dong, dong, dong. She rushed towards the glass display case as if she was flying. Her pair of watery eyes stared unblinkingly at the pair of transparent glass shoes that were glowing with a beautiful green light. Her small face was plastered against the display case, and her mouth could not close no matter what, until that friendly voice rang in her ears!!
"Miss, your meal is here."
Ji Tianyu blinked and came back to her senses. She realized that it was the woman with the friendly smile from before.
"Thank you. Boss, may I ask, this pair of glass shoes is…"
"Oh, you mean this pair of glass shoes? Beautiful, right? Most of the customers who come here for dinner are here for this pair of glass shoes. They are now equivalent to the living signboard of our shop. Some people come every day and must look at them every day before they are willing to go to work or school. This pair of glass shoes attracted a lot of customers for us.”
Ji Tianyu nodded and stared at the pair of glass shoes.
"I know it was a gift from Love Hotel.”
"That's right." Yu Xiaopei sounded pleased. "It's really unexpected to be able to get this pair of glass shoes. It can only be said to be fate. Moreover, it has indeed brought great luck to our breakfast shop, allowing our business to flourish every day.”
Ji Tianyu ate a pancake. "That's because your cooking is too good, Boss. This pancake is really delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious pancake before.”
"Really?" Yu Xiaopei was flattered. "That's because you don't mind, Miss. It's because everyone takes good care of us that our breakfast shop's business can be so good. Moreover, it's really happy to hear praise from such a beautiful lady.”
Although Ji Tianyu had always known how beautiful she was, she was still happy to hear her say this. "You are! It was beautiful and friendly. No wonder the business here was so good.”She looked around the shop and suddenly frowned.
"But there are so many people coming and going here every day. Is it safe to leave the glass shoes here? Wouldn't it be very unsafe if some people with ill intentions or unfilial thoughts had evil thoughts?”
"It won't happen." She smiled and explained," We've thought about this problem long ago. There are surveillance cameras inside and outside the breakfast shop. The police station is just two streets away. We've informed them in advance, so they often come to patrol. Therefore, no one should dare to come and cause trouble.”
Ji Tianyu was enlightened. "I see! You're really thoughtful."
"Actually…"
Ji Tianyu didn't wait for her to finish and stared at her,"Do you know Ji Tianqing?"
"Ji Tianqing?" Yu Xiaopei repeated in confusion. "Are you referring to Ji Tianqing, the boss of Ji's Electronic Technology Company? Of course I know him. He comes here for breakfast every day now!”
Ji Tianyu's eyes lit up. "Then what do you think of him?”She looked so excited that she even forgot to eat the dishes on the table.
" This..." Yu Xiaopei tilted her head and thought for a long time. "He's a very good person. Other than the first day I treated him to breakfast, he didn't let me treat him for the next few days. He said that we're a small business. If he doesn't pay every time he comes, our breakfast shop will collapse.”
Ji Tianyu's eyes curved into crescents as she laughed. He didn't expect his big brother to have such a move.
"What do you think he looks like?"
Yu Xiaopei sat down on the chair beside her excitedly.
"Is there a need to say that? He's young and handsome, and he has amazing achievements at a young age. I don't think that's something that everyone can do. He was young, handsome, and had a successful career. Who wouldn't want such a good partner? If it were me, I would definitely not let go.”
Ji Tianyu smiled widely, but could not help but ask nervously,"But didn't he come here for the glass shoes?”He pointed at the glass shoes lying quietly in the transparent window.
"Yes, I am!" Yu Xiaopei nodded. " But he only said it the first time he came here. He never talked about it again. I think he has given up because he knows that he can't give up the glass slippers no matter what. That's why he comes here every day to eat. I think he definitely has another purpose. It's just that some people don't know about it.”With a sly smile, she stole a glance at Li Ziying, who was still busy behind the counter.
After hearing her words, Ji Tianyu was both touched and excited.
"I'm really touched that you didn't argue with my big brother.”
Yu Xiaopei smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. She frowned and looked at her for a while before jumping up from her chair.
"What did you say? Are you Ji Tianqing's sister?"
Since the matter had already been revealed, Ji Tianyu had no intention of hiding it anymore.
"That's right! Yes, I am Ji Tianqing's sister. My name is Ji Tianyu.”She playfully bowed. "Tian Yu greets future sister-in-law."
Yu Xiaopei blinked blankly and finally understood what went wrong.
"Uh…Miss Tian Yu, you might be mistaken. I'm not your future sister-in-law. The person who might become your future sister-in-law is busy behind.”Yu Xiaopei didn't turn around. She pointed her thumb behind her shoulder.
This time, it was Ji Tianyu who stood rooted to the ground.
"What is it? Aren't these glass shoes yours?"
Yu Xiaopei held back her laughter. "It's not mine. It's the person behind me.”
Ji Tianyu sat on the chair in shock. After a while, she turned to the beautiful figure behind the counter.
Oh, oh, she actually got the wrong person!
As soon as Ji Tianqing heard the news, she immediately rushed to Li Ziying's place that night.
Li Ziying didn't expect him to come straight to her door. She stood at the door in shock and stared at him.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Ji Tianqing smiled with interest as she leaned against the door and looked at Li Ziying. Li Ziying turned her head away uneasily.
"It's not convenient."
"Is there someone else in your family?" Of course, he knew that there wasn't.
Thanks to the last time he took them out to play, he found Yu Xiaopei without any effort. When he asked her where she lived, Yu Xiaopei kindly told him that her family did not live with her, so he knew very well that she was the only one in her house.
"Of course!"
Before she could finish, he pushed her with his shoulder and easily entered the room.
" You, you…" Li Ziying was dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the opened door and said with an ugly expression,""How could you come in without my permission? Do you know I can sue you for trespassing?”She glared at him angrily.
Ji Tianqing ignored her anger and said,""I heard that my sister came to your shop today.”
"So what if I am?" She closed the door with a cold face and ignored his existence as she walked to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.
Ji Tianqing leaned against the wall and looked at her busy figure thoughtfully.
"Xiao Pei has already told me the details. She said that Tianyu mistook her for you and asked her a lot of questions about the two of us.”
"Oh?" Li Ziying only continued with her work and responded nonchalantly.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"No, I haven't." What did he want her to say?
"She thought you were my girlfriend.”
Her hands paused for a moment before she continued to work. "And then?"
Ji Tianqing raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly. "I told her that you're her future sister-in-law.”
The pot fell to the ground with a loud bang. Li Ziying turned around in shock and stared at him in disbelief.
"What did you say to her?"
"I told her that you're her future sister-in-law.”
"What nonsense are you talking to your sister about?”Li Ziying's watery eyes widened, and her beautiful face was filled with anger. "This is obviously not the truth. Why are you spouting nonsense? I don't know why your sister is at the breakfast shop, and I don't want to know. I don't understand why you came to my house. Please leave immediately.”
Ji Tianqing found it interesting.
Usually, she would speak simply and concisely. She did not expect that when she was angry, she would talk more.
"I just want to know what you think.”
"What do my thoughts have to do with you?”
"How could it not be my business?" He strode towards her. "Can't you tell that I have a good impression of you?”
Li Ziying was shocked and took a few steps to the side with a cold face.
"That's your business, not mine.”
"How is it none of your business that I like you?”He asked, unwilling to let her go.
Li Ziying was forced to take a few steps back by his aggressive words. She only pushed him away when she reached the counter behind her.
"It's your business if you like me, but it's another matter if I like you or not. Do you think I have to like you just because you like me?”As if she was a little upset that she was angry, she bit her lip and picked up the pot on the ground, not looking at him again.
Ji Tianqing noticed the change in her mood.
"Are you angry?" he teased.
Those three simple words made Li Ziying recall what she had said to her mistress at the hotpot restaurant that night. Her face immediately turned red.
"You like to be aggressive."
"You don't like it?" He took another step closer to her.
Li Ziying pushed him away warily.
"Hey, stand over there. You're not allowed to come over.”
Ji Tianqing obediently stood at the spot she had pointed out.
"You haven't eaten yet?"
Li Ziying glared at him and turned to the counter. "Normally, I would be watching TV on the sofa with hot noodles in my hands.”His tone was full of accusation.
"That's good. I haven't eaten yet either.”
Li Ziying turned her head in a daze. "What do you mean?"
Ji Tianqing gave her a shameless smile. "You won't mind if I ask you to treat me to a free dinner, right?”
Li Ziying took a deep breath. "Do you always eat so late?"
"No, I rarely eat so early.”
"What?"
" I'm usually working overtime at the company at this time," Ji Tianqing explained." So my secretary will usually order a lunchbox or takeout for me so that I can continue working after I finish eating."”
Li Ziying glanced at him. "You're really a workaholic! If that's the case, why aren't you working overtime at the company today? Why are you here?”
"What do you think?"
Li Ziying's heart skipped a beat when she saw his malicious smile.
"How would I know? I'm not a worm in your stomach.”
"If there was a roundworm as beautiful as you, then I would be willing…"
He didn't tell her what would happen after that, but Li Ziying's mind was blank. This was the first time he had praised her beauty, and she was actually happy about it.
"You, what do you want to eat?"
"I'll eat whatever you cook."
Li Ziying's hand trembled and she almost dropped the spatula in her hand.
"Alright, then go sit over there. I'll be done soon.”
She thought that he would obediently sit at the side this time, but she did not expect him to still lean against the wall with his arms crossed and not move at all. His fiery gaze made her unable to sit still.
"Don't stare at me like that." She forced herself to keep a cold face.
"But I want to look at you."
With a clang, the pot fell onto the hard floor again.
A burst of powerful laughter rang out in his ears.
"Your skin is really thin." Without waiting for her to speak, he had already gently picked up the pot and pulled her, who was a little unable to react, to sit on a chair at the side. "Let me do it!" After saying that, he even stole a kiss on her lips.
However, Li Ziying didn't seem angry at all. This was…this was…
"You know how to cook?" She awkwardly changed the topic.
"You'll know later." He threw her a charming smile and turned around to put the pot back on the stove, making Li Ziying sit on the chair awkwardly and shyly.
Sigh, her heart seemed to be getting more and more conflicted…
