"I asked Hao Xun if he had given away the jade pendant, and he said he had already given it to someone else. I thought he had already found someone he liked, but I didn't expect him to keep the jade pendant at all!

Didn't I explain it long ago?

This jade pendant is a family heirloom of our Jin family, and I want him to give it to someone he likes. "

This jade pendant is actually a family heirloom of the Jin family?

Why did Jin Haoxun give it to himself?

Ji Xiang was at a loss.

"I'm here to look for..." Brother almost blurted out the title, Du Yunqian paused in embarrassment, and smiled at Du Sichen's secretary.

"You don't have to call me, I'll go in by myself."

When entering Du Sichen's office, she never needed to make an appointment, nor did she need to notify her. She could walk in directly at any time. This was the privilege Du Sichen gave her.

"Come whenever you want, you're welcome. I'm willing to receive my most important sister anytime." Du Sichen once said with a smile.

When she was in college, Du Sichen interrupted several important meetings because of this. Later, she became more sensible and would say hello to the secretary before entering the door.

"Miss!" The secretary jumped up and rushed to her, with his hands slightly open.

"It's okay, you don't need to greet me." Du Yunqian didn't notice the secretary's nervousness, and continued walking to Du Sichen's office.

"and many more!"

The secretary's obstruction was ineffective, and Du Yunqian walked to the door of Du Sichen's office in two or three steps.

A girl sitting with her back to the door was talking to Du Sichen, when Du Yunqian found out about this, she stopped in her tracks.

"As soon as I got off the plane, I rushed over to visit Brother Du. My luggage was still in the car. I was too impatient to be laughed at by my cousin. I couldn't wait to fly over. But, I just wanted to see Brother Du. Nothing wrong, right?"

The girl's lively tone filled the whole room with a cheerful tone.

Du Sichen looked at the girl with a tolerant expression, and listened patiently without saying a word.

Du Yunqian had never seen Du Sichen's expression like this.

In terms of studies, Du Sichen bossed her around.When she was a child, whenever she heard that Du Sichen was going to review her homework, she would tremble with fear.In life, he was indifferent, always appearing without making a sound, and then suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes.

When he was in a good mood, he would hold her in his arms and give her a brother-sister kiss, but most of the time, he was serious and didn't tell her anything on his mind.

Growing up, she always felt that their relationship was different from other siblings, and now it confirms her belief.

"Yunqian?" Du Sichen turned his gaze and suddenly noticed Du Yunqian's presence, so he hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet her.

"I'm sorry, I have a visitor suddenly. This is Miss Xia."

Under Du Sichen's introduction, the girl stood up and waved to her with a wide smile, but Du Sichen seemed to have no intention of introducing Du Yunqian to her.

"She...Miss Xia came to see me temporarily..." Du Sichen seemed to be at a loss for words and paused, "Go back first, I'll call you later!"

"No, how is this possible? Since we are here, let's have a meal together and bond with each other." Before Du Yunqian could respond, the daughter of the Xia family protested loudly.

The hospitality was hard to come by, and the three of them had lunch together.

Du Yunqian was originally annoyed because he wanted to see Du Sichen, and even thought about missing the appointment, but he didn't expect to encounter an even more embarrassing situation.

Seeing that girl sitting next to Du Sichen, turning her head to look at him from time to time, with an expression of admiration on her face, Du Yunqian couldn't eat anymore.

She numbly picked up the dish in front of her, and swallowed the food mechanically, unable to taste the taste at all.

"Brother Du is right, Yunqian is really quiet!"

"Yeah! She is always very quiet when eating, and if I don't ask her questions, she seldom speaks up."

"Isn't it boring to eat like this?"

"Maybe I'm too strict, I'm wrong."

The two sitting opposite each other had a harmonious atmosphere, and Du Yunqian didn't even know where to put his eyes.

If she could choose, she would never want to see such a scene.Seeing the girl sitting next to Du Sichen, receiving his full and tender attention, she felt very uncomfortable.

If she knew it earlier, she would hide as far away as possible, and wait for this to be a foregone conclusion, and let time heal her unwillingness. She didn't want to watch her failure naked like this.

"Yunqian, can't you eat?" Du Sichen noticed something strange about her.

"I'm not too hungry."

"Is the dish not to your liking? If you're not used to seafood, I'll ask the chef to fry steak for you."

"No, this is enough, let them serve dessert!"

Pushing the dinner plate aside with a forced smile, Du Yunqian clasped his hands under the table, lowered his head, looked at the snow-white tablecloth, and secretly prayed that the meal would end soon.

It doesn't matter what Du Sichen originally wanted to say to her, she just wants to escape here immediately.

The news of Du Sichen's upcoming engagement was quickly published in the newspapers, and the reporter also captured the scene of Du Yunqian dining with the two couples.

Not wanting to recall the feeling of eating in hell at all, Du Yunqian only glanced at the newspaper before throwing it into the wastebasket.

The image of Du Sichen and the daughter of the Xia family looking at each other and smiling was lingering in her heart.

The person who handed the newspaper to her was Cheng Zhongxuan. He didn't leave and saw Du Yunqian overreacting to throw the newspaper away.

Du Yunqian didn't care what he thought, she turned her head away, pretending to concentrate on her work, dealing with the mountain of contracts.

"Dining with the general manager's fiancée is painful!"

These words made her freeze, she raised her head and saw a sympathetic smile on Cheng Zhongxuan's face.

She refused to answer the question, but Cheng Zhongxuan didn't seem to expect her answer.

"You must be very unhappy! Seeing a strange girl sitting next to the general manager, replacing your usual seat."

Cheng Zhongxuan's guess was so accurate that Du Yunqian had to defend the daughter of the Xia family instead.

"No, Miss Xia is a very good girl. It's just the first time I met her. She holds my hand like a friend who has been with me for many years, and describes interesting things about studying to me."

She's so darn sweet and perfect that she can't find even the slightest reason to object.

"I want to know, what does Missy think of the general manager?"

"What do you mean?" Du Yunqiannian didn't understand.

Cheng Zhongxuan opened the folder in his hand, and put a photo in front of Du Yunqian.

"This photo taken secretly in Paris seems to have confirmed my conjecture, but I dare not take the risk. I am worried that I may have misunderstood..."

"I..." Du Yunqian turned his eyes away.

She was exhausted and impulsive that day.

She didn't expect a reporter to follow her abroad. She thought it was a safe place... She thought she could pretend to be crazy and say what she wanted to say while she was tired... Too many wrong assumptions allowed the reporter to take this photo.

Now that Ji Xiang has stepped forward to be her boyfriend, and Du Sichen has a fiancée-to-be next to him, the focus of the media has already changed. Du Yunqian doesn't understand why Cheng Zhongxuan wants to bring up such an old account.

"I don't know what you're asking." Du Yunqian shook his head, hoping that Cheng Zhongxuan would stop asking.

"Miss, you can deceive the audience, but I have been by your side for two years, you can't hide it from me, the person you really love is actually..."

Du Yunqian stood up and organized Cheng Zhongxuan to speak, but she didn't want to hear it.

"Don't talk about it! He doesn't have me in his heart at all. Even if he does, I'm still behind in his career..."

This protest instead acquiesced to her true emotion, she slumped her shoulders, and burst into tears.

Cheng Zhongxuan looked at her quietly.

"Miss, have you ever thought that the general manager knew from the very beginning that you are not biological brothers and sisters, but his care and love for Miss has never changed over the past ten years. Can you imagine how he feels? What kind of eyes does the manager look at the eldest lady?"

"He just treats me like a younger sister!" Du Yunqian wiped away tears, hating her own weakness.

"I think... from the very beginning, he didn't treat you as a younger sister, not even for a day."

"But..." Du Yunqian raised her eyes, she didn't understand why Cheng Zhongxuan said that.

"This is just my inference. Believe it or not is up to you, and what you do is up to you."

It's really annoying, Ji Xiang is like this, and Cheng Zhongxuan is the same. After saying a lot of things inexplicably, they put the responsibility on her.

She also used to want to act!He didn't hesitate to fly to Paris to meet Du Sichen, but he rejected her clearly with his actions.

No, it should be said that Du Sichen didn't take her feelings seriously at all!

How many women around him admire him, she is dispensable to him.

Even if she really wins love, facing the pressure of public opinion, not only will her acting career be ruined, but Du Sichen may also be kicked out of the family for annoying her parents.

There are so many difficulties in front of her eyes, she doesn't think she has overcome them.

"Miss, there is still a chance to work hard. When everything is settled, it will be too late."

"Thank you for your concern, but...it's impossible between us. It's been impossible since the day I entered Du's house."

The Du family would not allow such a scandal, she knew it very well.

Du Yunqian smiled at Cheng Zhongxuan, "I won't delay work because of a small emotional setback, you don't have to worry about the income of the age of innocence. Judging from the recent announcement and invitation, the scandal between Ji Xiang and me has not affected the work Chances are, our invitations are even going unabated.”

The times are really different. Not only did fans not vigorously protest, they even held a blessing attitude towards their relationship.

Variety shows are also happy to invite the two to appear on the show together to talk about the sweetness of love, but she rejected all such announcements.

"It turns out that Missy thinks that I care about your feelings only for the income of the age of innocence. Cheng Zhongxuan smiles calmly and has wise eyes."

"Otherwise what would it be?" Du Yunqian was curious.

"My ambition is not so small." Cheng Zhongxuan smiled slightly, but did not answer directly.

Under Wang Ruien's efficient filming, "Swordsman" was successfully completed after three months.Global Pictures invited many stars and the media to participate in the wrap-up wine. While celebrating the success, they also joined in the film's publicity.

Taking advantage of the fact that the filming had just finished and he had no work these days, Ji Xiang searched his house up and down, and finally found this jade pendant between the sofas.

No matter what Jin Haoxun gave him the gift for, he didn't appreciate it, and threw the gift everywhere, which was indeed very rude.

Ji Xiang decided to meet Jin Haoxun and apologize to him.

"Hey, why is this jade pendant here?" Jin Yong couldn't help shouting when he saw the jade pendant in Ji Xiang's hand.

"I'm just Hao Xun..."

Jin Yong was impatient, and couldn't wait for Ji Xiang to explain clearly, so he yelled, "How can such an important thing be messed around? Where is Hao Xun? I have to scold him!"

Although the mouth said so, Jin Yong's face showed no anger, but a look of contentment.

"A while ago, I asked Hao Xun if he had given away the jade pendant. He said he had already given it to someone else. I thought he had already found someone he liked, but I didn't expect him to keep the jade pendant at all! Didn't I tell you already? ? This jade pendant is a family heirloom of our Jin family, and I want him to give it to someone he likes."

"Huh?" Ji Xiang, who was listening quietly, made a sound regardless of etiquette.

This jade pendant is actually a family heirloom of the price of gold?

Why did Jin Haoxun give it to himself?

Ji Xiang was at a loss.

"Hao Xun is a good boy. At the beginning, he was not interested in the showbiz, so he took over Soaring Sky for me. Now he has done a great job, and I have always felt very proud. Now he made this movie to make me happy... Even today If I die, I don't have any regrets." Jin Yong crossed his arms, and the majestic image of a martial arts star many years ago can still be vaguely seen on his body.

He served as a consultant for "Swordsman", although it sounds like just an idler who needs to move his mouth. At first, everyone can think of him as a name, but it turns out that he is involved in everything and provides many shooting and actions for this martial arts film. comments on.

Jin Yong's workload is even heavier than that of many actors. Jin Haoxun persuaded him to rest several times, but Jin Yong was unmoved, as if he wanted to devote the last energy of his life to this movie.

"Please don't say that, if you pass away, Hao Xun will be very sad."

"That's why I want him to find someone he likes quickly! As long as there is a loved one around him, even if there is something sad, he will be able to support it."

Jin Yong picked up the jade pendant and put it in his pocket.Ji Xiang didn't have time to stop him, and he was embarrassed to tell Jin Yong that the jade pendant was given to him by Jin Haoxun.

Jin Haoxun came late after the celebration banquet officially started. He was caught in the crowd, chatting with the big stars who came to congratulate him for a while, and busy greeting the visiting media for a while.

Ji Xiang himself also received a series of interviews.

"May I ask what you thought of acting in a martial arts movie for the first time?"

"It's very hot." Ji Xiang said expressionlessly.

"What's hot about it?"

"It's hot, the wig is hot, the clothes are hot."

Obviously he said this sentence with a dull face, unexpectedly, the reporters surrounded by Ji Xiang all laughed, as if he said something funny just now.

"You should get used to it next time."

A female reporter had rosy cheeks and smiled the most. "Many stars always say that they don't want to have another time after their first costume film."

"I have already decided, there will be no next time." Ji Xiang muttered, swearing his determination again.

After the interview was finally over, Ji Xiang looked for Jin Haoxun again, but at this moment the crowd suddenly became commotion, and the media gathered in the same direction.

"Call an ambulance! Quick!"

Hearing clearly that it was Jin Haoxun's voice, Ji Xiang struggled to pass through the human wall built by the media.He didn't know what happened, but Ji Xiang was worried by that shrill cry.

He must quickly feel Jin Haoxun's side!

Ji Xiang forcefully peeled away the reporters standing in front of him, and squeezed into the center.

Jin Haoxun knelt on the ground, he lifted Jin Yong who was lying on the floor, and leaned on his lap.He was extremely sad, with tears in his eyes, "Dad, Dad!"

The scene was chaotic, the spotlights were flashing non-stop, and the frightened staff huddled aside and whispered.Someone called, and an ambulance arrived within 10 minutes, with alarm bells ringing.

The medical staff carried Jin Yong onto the stretcher, and Jin Haoxun grabbed his father desperately, refusing to let go, until he was dissuaded by the medical staff, and he took a few steps back to let the medical staff inspect and give first aid.

Ji Xiang knew that he couldn't help, so he could only stand far away and watch the scene in front of him.

The ambulance quickly left the celebration banquet venue, and the high-speed driving of the car seemed to reveal how critical Jin Yong's condition was.

Because there was not enough space in the ambulance, Jin Haoxun was unable to get in the car and left with his father.

With red eyes, he watched the ambulance go away, then lowered his head and buried his face in his palm.

Even Ji Xiang didn't know how he came to Jin Haoxun's side, he thought in a trance, he had to say something, do something to make Jin Haoxun not so sad.

Jin Haoxun has always been an optimistic and cheerful person, no matter what evil setbacks he encounters, there is no way to damage his ambition.When Soaring Sky was in debt of millions, Ji Xiang never saw him frown.

But at this moment, he seemed to be completely knocked down, and he was so weak that he needed someone to support him before he could move.

"Hao Xun!" Ji Xiang called him.

Jin Haoxun shook his head, raised his head, tears glistened in his eyes.

"Ji Xiang, my dad...he might..." Jin Haoxun couldn't finish the sentence.

Ji Xiang stared at him, knowing that he should say a few words to comfort this heartbroken man, but he couldn't say anything.

For the first time, he hated himself for not being good at words. The person he valued the most was right in front of him, but he couldn't even say a single word.

"It's okay, he'll be fine!" Ji Xiang said softly.

Due to a sudden illness, Du Yunqian was absent from the celebration banquet of "Swordsman".Ji Xiang is the leading actor, and her girlfriend should accompany him to attend, but there is no way, after a rain the night before, she woke up in the morning and found that she had a fever of 38 degrees.

Ji Xiang thoughtfully told Du Yunqian that he could attend alone, so Du Yunqian lay at home with peace of mind and took a day off.

In the evening, the symptoms of fever had improved, but she was still lying on the bed. When she heard the doorbell ringing, she couldn't help frowning.

There were very few visitors to her residence, and even if Du Sichen occasionally sent someone to bring gifts, he would make an appointment in advance.

Maybe it was the wrong doorbell?

Du Yunqiannian wanted to wait for the visitor to leave by himself, and didn't want to leave the bed, not to mention that the current clothes were not suitable for answering the door, but the person who rang the doorbell was unyielding, insisted on pressing it for 5 minutes, and insisted on not leaving.

As a last resort, she had no choice but to put on a coat and staggered to open the door.

"Why are you here?"

Standing outside the door was Du Sichen in a suit and leather shoes. She narrowed her eyes, thinking it was her hallucination.

"I heard Zhong Xuan say that you are sick, so I came to see you."

"He's really efficient at delivering messages." Du Yunqian sighed.

"It just happens to be proportional to my salary." Du Sichen's tone was not without irony.

Seeing Du Sichen standing in the dark stairwell, still looking awe-inspiring and inviolable, she couldn't help feeling amused.

"Want to come in?" She opened the door slightly, and stretched out her hand to invite Du Sichen in.

"No, the car is still waiting for me below." Du Sichen raised his hand and stripped Du Yunqian's messy hair. His fingers ran through the long, soft hair and untied the tangle with his fingers.

"I lay in bed all day, so I didn't dress up, I'm sorry." Du Yunqian was embarrassed by her slovenly appearance.Her hair was uncombed and her clothes were messy. Even when she was living with her, she would dress herself neatly and not give Du Sichen any chance to be picky.

"It's okay, it's good." Du Sichen smiled softly.

His smile made her dizzy.

"That day, didn't I say that I wanted to talk to you? It's a pity that I was disturbed by some irrelevant things."

Du Yunqian found it ridiculous that the irrelevant matter that Du Sichen said was the person he was about to make a marriage contract with.

She vaguely understood Du Sichen's reason for coming.

"What do you want to say?"

"Yunqian, no matter what happens, I want you to know that my feelings for you will not change. I have always... treated you as my younger sister. I want to take care of you for the rest of my life. I don't care what other people say. The same. Don't keep your distance from me, if you can, I hope you will continue to treat me as a brother."

Du Yunqian wanted to tear Cheng Zhongxuan into pieces.

"I don't think the general manager has ever treated you like a sister, not even for a single day."

This sentence was like a temptation, repeated over and over again in her ears.

But what Du Sichen said was not the case at all.

"I'm going to kill him!" Du Yunqian murmured.

"What?" Du Sichen didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, is there anything else? I want to go back to bed and rest."

She was very tired, she didn't want to struggle anymore, and she didn't want to study whether what Du Sichen said was true or not, she just wanted to lie back on the bed and escape from reality.

"Yunqian..."

"I'm going to Europe next month, there's a trade show in Germany to attend, and a couple of conferences..."

Anyway, it was always these things, she was too lazy to listen to them before, and now she doesn't have much interest in them, so she stared at Du Sichen disinterestedly.

Even in the moment of despondency, she still felt that the man in front of her was as handsome as a devil, with a handsome and deep silhouette, and his clothes were spotless.

"After finishing those trips, I have an appointment with the Xia family, and I want to formally come to propose marriage."

These words finally woke Du Yunqian from her sluggishness, her eyes widened, and she was speechless for a while.

"Yunqian, even if I get married, the door of the Du family is still open for you, you can come back anytime." Du Sichen reached out to stroke her cheek and said softly.

return?With another woman under the same roof?In the name of my sister?

It's all so ridiculous!

She retorted in her heart, but couldn't make a sound.

Because of the intense pain, she backed away silently.She wanted to slam the door shut, not wanting to see this man who made her heart ache.

"Good night." Du Yunqian tried his best to smile, implying Du Sichen to leave.

Du Sichen refused to let her close the door. He took a step forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her in front of him.

"Yun, Yunqian..." He called her name, his deep voice seemed to be chanting a spell, making her unable to resist.

He hugged her back and forced her to look up. Before she knew what he wanted to do, he was kissed firmly.

This kiss was hot and passionate, as if he wanted to savor her carefully.

Du Yunqian couldn't breathe, she closed her eyes and melted into the warm embrace.She unconsciously put her arms around Du Sichen, eager to ask for more.

After a long kiss, he was suddenly let go.Du Yunqian opened his eyes and saw the complicated expression on Du Sichen's face, as if he was looking at something he had longed for but never found.

"Yunqian, I admit that I have loved you since a long time ago, and it has not changed until now."

This sentence made Du Yunqian's eyes widen in surprise, and hope emerged in his heart.

"I also used to subconsciously avoid you and find excuses not to visit you, but your figure has always been in my heart. It will be the same in the future, I will protect you, love you, and take care of you..."

So?So is he going to give up the engagement with the Xia family?

Du Yunqian looked at Du Sichen expectantly, she couldn't speak, she couldn't believe it.

Du Sichen showed a gentle smile, sighed and whispered, "I will love you as an older brother. This relationship will never change for the rest of my life, and it will never change for anything."

After Du Sichen finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Du Yunqian standing still.

The inexplicable appearance disturbed a pool of spring water, shaking her originally peaceful heart again, and she left as if nothing had happened.

What the hell is he thinking?

Du Yunqian suddenly felt angry, surrounded by these unpredictable and profound men, each of them didn't speak clearly, always asking her to think, guess, and decide by herself.

But what could her decision change?

She went back to bed and hugged the quilt.The body was so hot, and the kiss just now kept repeating in his head.

Her illness seemed to be getting worse.
