Xia Yanxi looked up in surprise, "What old lady?"

Xiaoyu described the man's appearance to her, and continued: "She still has a string of Buddhist beads in her hand."

Hearing this description, Xia Yanxi had already guessed who it was.

She got up, strode out, and when she came to the door of the office, she saw Mrs. Ji and Aunt Song standing there proudly.

"Long time no see." Xia Yanxi said with a half-smile.

Aunt Song was the first to be dissatisfied: "The old lady is an elder anyway, you don't even give a title? You are so old, don't you know how to be polite?"

Xia Yanxi's expression didn't change at all, "Politeness is for those who should be given it."

"You!" Aunt Song was very angry at her words.

"Enough." Mrs. Ji said in a deep voice, and Aunt Song had to swallow back the words she hadn't said yet.

Xia Yanxi shifted her gaze to her, "I didn't expect that we would meet again."

"We should meet again, shouldn't we?" A meaningful smile appeared on Madam Ji's aged face, "Xia Yanxi, this time, I came here to save your life."

Just hearing her words, Xia Yanxi could already roughly guess her reason for coming, and a deep smile appeared on the corners of her lips, "I didn't expect that you would really take great pains to provoke the relationship between me and the third master."

"Provocation?" Mrs. Ji narrowed her eyes slightly, "We are all out of good intentions, don't be ignorant."

"I never said that I needed your kindness. Now I hope you leave here and don't appear in front of me again." Xia Yanxi said unceremoniously, looking at them with eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Aunt Song looked at her like this, her face was livid with anger, "Xia Yanxi! You girl is really too much! After all, the old lady is also the most authoritative person in the Ji family, how dare you...see how I teach you today !"

She raised her hand, and slapped Xia Yanxi hard on the cheek.

"what--"

Before Aunt Song's hand touched her, she was stopped in mid-air.

The man had strong hands, as if he could break her wrists with his bare hands.

"It hurts me to death! Let me go!" Aunt Song yelled with a sharp voice, her face contorted in pain.

Xia Yanxi was about to dodge, when she heard her sharp cry, she raised her head in surprise.

Seeing that tall figure for the first time, she was inexplicably relieved.

However, when she raised her head and met those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the arc of her lips froze instantly.

The person who came was not Ji Beimu, but Ji Langyue!
"Remember, if you dare to touch her again in the future, you will be against me." Ji Langyue shook off Aunt Song's hand with a cold face.

Aunt Song stumbled and fell to the ground, looking pitifully at Mrs. Ji.

"Useless stuff!" Mrs. Ji shook her sleeves and left.

Watching them get into the elevator and leave, Xia Yanxi shifted her gaze to Ji Langyue, "Why are you here?"

Ji Langyue smiled, "It's my duty to protect women."

Xia Yanxi pursed her lips, "I don't need any flower protectors. I don't want to have too much involvement with the Ji family except the third master."

"Do you think you can decide this alone?" Ji Langyue strode forward and looked down at her, "As long as you stay by Ji Beimu's side, not only will this kind of thing not decrease today, but It’s going to get worse and worse.”

"So you want me to leave too?" Xia Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "If I was really so afraid of danger, I wouldn't have accompanied him until now."

Ji Langyue smiled, and took out an invitation card from her pocket, "Beicheng will hold a charity party tomorrow, I hope you can come to be my female companion."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested." Xia Yanxi glanced at the invitation card coldly, turned around and was about to go back to the office.

"I heard that Ji Beimu will also participate in the evening, don't you want to come?" Ji Langyue's meaningful voice came, "He doesn't plan to take you there? Is there something he is hiding from you?"

Xia Yanxi was no stranger to the provocations of these people. Hearing his words, she didn't even stop in her footsteps.

Ji Langyue seemed to have guessed her reaction, and said quickly: "I heard that he has been looking for a girl for the past two years."

Hearing this, Xia Yanxi's footsteps were slightly sluggish.

Ji Langyue walked up to her quickly and looked her up and down, "But I don't think you are the one he is looking for."

Xia Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"A man has another girl in his heart, how much sincere affection do you think he can give you?" Ji Langyue asked without answering, and stuffed the invitation in her hand, "Come to participate tomorrow night, maybe you can find the answer .”

Seeing him get into the elevator and leave, Xia Yanxi didn't rush to ask any more questions.

She returned to her office, opened the invitation, and looked at the bronzing words on the invitation.

The location of the charity gala is a well-known business place in Beicheng, and it looks very formal.

But are those words that Ji Langyue said true or false?Could it be that there is really another person in Ji Beimu's heart?

When this thought came to mind, Xia Yanxi's heart skipped a beat.

She shook her head, stopping herself from thinking about it.

As night fell, Xia Yanxi finished her work and returned to the Platinum Palace, only to find that Ji Beimu hadn't returned yet.

"Miss Xia, the third master just sent someone to inform that the company has important matters to deal with tonight, so there is no way to come back too soon." Butler Xu said to her, "You should go to bed earlier."

Xia Yanxi nodded, and entered the room with a complicated mood.

In the middle of the night, she lay tossing and turning on the big soft bed.

The sound of a car's engine came from the gate downstairs. She got up and looked out the window, and saw the black Hummer driving smoothly into the villa.

She quickly lay back on the bed and waited for a few minutes before the door of the room was opened.

At this point in time, he is the only one who dares to open the door.

The man's footsteps were very low, as if he was worried that he would disturb her.

Xia Yanxi closed her eyes tightly, and after a while, she heard him sit down on the sofa, and a faint smell of smoke gradually wafted over.

She tentatively opened her eyes wide, her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and she saw Ji Beimu looking out the French window.

The misty smoke blurred his handsome face, making it impossible for her to see his expression clearly.

"Are you awake?" After a few seconds, the man's hoarse voice came.

Xia Yanxi was taken aback for a moment, and saw Ji Beimu turn her head back, and her eyes fell on her without any mistakes.

Only then did she realize that she had been seen through, and she had to sit up from the bed, "Master, don't you rest yet?"

I also sincerely admire him in my heart. He was staring out of the window just now, but he still found that she was not asleep at all.

"I heard that Ji Langyue came to see you today." Ji Beimu's thin lips parted slightly, and he spoke in a descriptive tone.
