no crossing the line

"I just called Aunt Wang..."

"Oh? What did she say?"

Jian Qin hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively: "My child... will you take care of my child in the future?"

Ji Jinglian didn't seem surprised that she would ask such a question, and said calmly, "If necessary."

Jian Qin struggled, and after some hesitation, he asked weakly, "Will you become the child's adoptive mother?"

"If necessary."

"Then—" Jian Qin breathed out suddenly, and spoke faster, "Will that not affect your life? If you want to fall in love or start a family in the future..."

Ji Jinglian looked slightly relaxed, looking at her delicately.

"Are you worried that the child will affect my life, or are you worried that I will treat the child badly?"

Jian Qin choked for a moment, his face a little embarrassed: "I just didn't expect...you will take care of the child. In this case, can I, can I still see the child in the future?"

"It's so rare that you finally start thinking about this."

Ji Jinglian laughed, like a mockery or a sigh, and there was such a tinge of relief in his tone.

Jian Qin now has a certain degree of immunity to her words, and doesn't feel that she is underestimating herself, on the contrary, she can hear a little concern.

"Aunt Wang mentioned it..."

Ji Jinglian sat down beside her, opened the information bag and asked, "Then what else did she say?"

Jian Qin didn't think too much, and confessed frankly: "Aunt Wang said that I should have a good relationship with you and treat the child well. In the future... if I want to see the child, I can have some affection..."

"Oh," Ji Jinglian shook his head, and handed the agreement document in front of Jian Qin, "You really know everything, and you should rest assured that you shouldn't tell me when you say these things."

"But these are all what Aunt Wang told me. You must understand her intentions."

"Having said that, it's between me and her. What she said to you in private is between her and you. Do you want to tell me that it's your business?"

Jian Qin was dumbfounded by the words: "Then what should I do if I don't tell you? Auntie... let me continue to live with you..."

She spoke more and more quietly, and finally she felt a little embarrassed.

Because of what Wang Juan said, her determination to move away was shaken again.After all, she doesn't hate Ji Jinglian anymore, she just feels a little awkward because she is afraid of bothering her.

But if it's for the kids...

Ji Jinglian stared at her face. Her tall height allowed her to always look down on Jian Qin, but after sitting down, the distance became closer, and Jian Qin felt less pressure.

"You..." Ji Jinglian opened his mouth slowly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with a slight smile, but this time the meaning of the smile was very different from usual, it was not sarcasm, but a feeling of "bad heart". "You shouldn't tell me these things, you should please me without any trace."

Jian Qin was stunned, not only forgot to look away, but also almost forgot to breathe.

Since the first meeting, her perception of Ji Jinglian has changed a lot, but the first impression of being cold and serious is deeply rooted in her mind.She couldn't imagine that Ji Jinglian would show her a gentle smile, and likewise, she couldn't imagine her showing such a "narrow" smirk—and it was so similar to Jing Xi.

Ji Jinglian bit each word so clearly that at the end of her speech, Jian Qin clearly saw her bright red tongue against her white lower teeth, emphasizing the word "to please".Perhaps it was because she was usually too serious, but this contrast made Jian Qin feel an inexplicable sensuality.

"Then, how can I please you?"

When Jian Qin asked this sentence blankly, Ji Jinglian's brows slightly raised, showing a hint of surprise.

Jian Qin stuttered as if waking up from a dream, "I, I mean... I am very grateful for your care and care for me. I am very grateful to you... That... repayment, yes, I want to repay you!"

What is she thinking?

Ji Jinglian and Jing Xi are obviously not alike at all, and no matter how good-looking she is, she is still a woman. How could she suddenly seem to be bewitched?

Jian Qin's face was red and her ears were red, her heart was beating wildly. Even in the face of Ji Jingxi, her heart didn't beat so fast.

It's over, it's over, Ji Jinglian must be treating her like a fool again!If she heard it as a joke, why did she take it seriously?

Besides, what people say is flattery without a trace, now that she has exposed everything, how can she please?Not to mention repayment or something, if she could repay, she would not have wanted to move out before.

"Anyway, all in all... I'm very thankful..."

Only thanks, she is sincere.But now, it sounds very utilitarian.

Thinking of this, Jian Qin couldn't help but feel a little lost, her eyes stared at Ji Jinglian uneasily, her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't say anything.

Ji Jinglian looked at her deeply, and suddenly reached out and wiped the corner of Jian Qin's eyes with his thumb.

"!?"

Jian Qin turned her face subconsciously, and only when Ji Jinglian calmly withdrew her hand did she realize that she had unknowingly shed a few tears.Ji Jinglian helped her wipe it off with her fingertips, and her slender and slender fingers brought back some vague memories with a slight coolness.

It seems like yesterday afternoon...

Jian Qin blushed suddenly - she tried her best not to think about that matter at first, but at this moment, for some reason, her mind was full of Ji Jinglian helping her change her pajamas.

What was Ji Jinglian thinking?

"You don't need to thank me. Instead of thinking about these things, you should think more about your own future. I have written it clearly in the agreement. Take a look and you can make any demands." Ji Jinglian's expression was indifferent, as if I didn't realize how intimate I was suddenly, "As for visiting children... I don't think it's something you need to consider now, of course, if you care about it, I don't mind if you add it. "

Jian Qin didn't dare to look at Ji Jinglian's face because of her shame, and simply lowered her head to look at the stack of thick paper documents.

"so many……"

"It's good for both of us to be more detailed, you can take your time."

Ji Jinglian looked like he was waiting for her to finish reading, but Jian Qin didn't dare to say anything more at this moment, and looked at the content of the agreement dully.

How stupid.

Ji Jinglian looked down at Jian Qin who was looking down at the agreement intently, and couldn't help frowning tightly.

If this kind of thing happened to some people, they might have already used their children to rip off their family.But Jianqin seemed to really think that she was helped by them, and she was very grateful for it.

Is this Ji Jingxi's vision?

Looking for a woman who is completely different from their family, pure, kind, and innocent enough to be called stupid, hoping to be redeemed?

Their family is really, one is more despicable than the other.
