Ji Xingchen followed his example and said "Oh" coldly, then turned over and didn't look at him.

Lu Yanbei moved his thin lips and whispered: "Xingxing..."

Ji Xingchen huddled under the quilt and said in an angry voice: "Don't call me that, I'm so scared."

"..."

Lu Yanbei said patiently: "You shouldn't lie to me. In fact, I won't restrict your freedom of making friends with whomever you go to dinner with, so there is no need for you to lie to me."

He thinks this is stating the facts and making sense.

But to Ji Xingchen's ears, it was full of provocation and questioning.

She almost laughed out of anger.

Co-authoring the apology he just said was formalism, right?

She lifted off the quilt, sat up and stared at him.

His mouth was like a machine gun, and he kept scolding: "How do you have the nerve to say such things? Are you so strict with yourself when you treat Liang Ruo? Have you ever considered my feelings when you were with her?

?Restrict my freedom to make friends? Do you have this qualification and position?"

Lu Yanbei frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Can you not leave Liang Ruo for more than three words?"

Ji Xingchen sarcastically said: "Yes, you can ban Liang Ruo and tell her to get out of my sight from now on. Stop jumping around in front of me all day long. I will never mention the word Liang Ruo again!"

Lu Yanbei's peach blossom eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom: "Liang Ruo climbed to this position only because of herself. If you block someone at will, do you know how much consequences and harm it will bring to the other person? Ji Xingchen, can you

You can't stop thinking about what you think and do things according to your own preferences."

Ji Xingchen had known for a long time that he would say this. After all, every time they argued about Liang Ruo before, the answer they got was exactly the same.

The more times she did it, the more she got used to it.

She put up the thorns all over her body to protect herself, "If you can't do it, get out."

Lu Yanbei suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, which he had not experienced for a long time since his mother's death.

He sighed and lowered his tone: "You clearly know that I am ashamed of the Liang family and cannot do this."

Ji Xingchen clutched the corners of the quilt, his eyes slightly red.

She couldn't say anything harsh about how Liang Chao saved you and Liang Ruo, nor could she ignore Lu Yanbei's kindness to Liang Ruo out of kindness.

Ji Xingchen admitted that she was selfish, she was not generous at all, and her love could not tolerate even a grain of sand.

So for so many years, she had been hiding in what she thought was a hard shell, never daring to take a step outside.

Not only is she selfish, she's also a coward.

Ji Xingchen closed his eyes, endured the soreness in his eyes, and said deliberately: "If you don't do it, I will do it myself. I will use the Ji family's connections to make Liang Ruo unable to get up at all."

Lu Yanbei stared at her back, was silent for a while, and said, "If it weren't for Liang Chao, I would be dead. Ji Xingchen, it doesn't matter to you whether I am dead or not."

Ji Xingchen's heart suddenly stung, and dense pain swept through her body instantly. She bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Silence formed an invisible depression in the air.

Until I heard the sound of the door closing.

The tears that Ji Xingchen was holding back fell from his eyelids.

The pillow was soaked.

She thought, it's finally over, right?

This absurd marriage can finally end...

When the morning sun shone in, Ji Xingchen felt like he was in a dream.

He put his slender arms on his eyelids and closed his eyes in deep thought.

She thought that Lu Yanbei should leave.

very nice.

The divorce will take place in a few days, and by then she will no longer have any relationship with Lu Yanbei or the Lu family.

Ji Xingchen walked downstairs in slippers, his brows and eyes were filled with tiredness, and he seemed to have no energy.

Halfway through, she suddenly smelled a scent in her nose.

Ji Xingchen looked stunned, then walked down quickly, and sure enough he saw Lu Yanbei who had just come out of the kitchen.

The other party's face remained normal and his tone was flat: "Are you awake?"

Ji Xingchen couldn't hide his surprise: "Why haven't you left yet?"

It was like that last night, why didn't he leave?

Lu Yanbei said expressionlessly: "Where am I going?"

"..."

He put a drawer of xiaolongbao on the dining table and said, "Come here for breakfast."

Ji Xingchen frowned, not quite understanding what Lu Yanbei was doing.

She said nothing, put on her shoes and left.

Lu Yanbei was once again left with a table of untouched dishes and chopsticks.

For several days in a row, no matter how sarcastic and sarcastic Ji Xingchen was, Lu Yanbei would always make breakfast for her and never quarrel with her again.

He looked resigned and resigned.

On the fifth day, Lu Yanbei went upstairs to wake Ji Xingchen up as before, and then prepared bowls and chopsticks for her, even though he knew she wouldn't eat.

The difference was that this time he dumped the food in the trash can in front of Ji Xingchen.

Ji Xingchen stopped putting on his shoes and looked at him in disbelief: "Don't tell me that you threw all the breakfast for so many days into the trash can."

Lu Yanbei raised his eyes, and the meaning was obvious: "I get up very early every morning to cook it for you. If you don't appreciate it, you can only throw it away."

"That's too wasteful, can't you eat it yourself?" Ji Xingchen said speechlessly.

Lu Yanbei's eyelids drooped slightly, "If you don't eat, I have no appetite either."

Ji Xingchen's mouth twitched and he stepped forward to stop the man from falling further.

"Okay, I'll eat." She said impatiently.

The man's mouth curved slightly, and he placed the porridge that had survived on the table again.

And he gave a thoughtful reminder: "Be careful of burning."

Ji Xingchen: "..."

She silently took the spoon, took a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The texture that melted in her mouth shocked her.

This porridge tastes even better than the one at the morning tea restaurant she loved before.

Ji Xingchen's eyes lit up and he drank a few more spoonfuls.

She really didn't expect that Lu Yanbei actually had this skill.

Lu Yanbei stood aside and watched her finish a bowl of porridge and eat two small steamed buns, with a faint smile in her peach blossom eyes.

What Zhou Sui said is quite right.

The bitter meat tactic does work.

For a period of time, the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the way they used to treat each other as if they were guests. They would not ask each other more questions, and they would not care about things they shouldn't.

The only difference is that Lu Yanbei began to learn to take care of Ji Xingchen's three meals a day and daily life.

In the past, these were done by nannies, but now they are done by Lu Yanbei.

Ji Xingchen was a person who was used to enjoying things, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with being served by others. He resisted and was not used to it at first, but finally accepted it happily.

Because she felt that Lu Yanbei served her better than a servant.

Gradually, she forgot about Zhang Ma.

In the evening, while she was frantically shopping on the sofa with her tablet, she received a call from Ni Wen.

Ni Wen said that the painting exhibition had been discussed and asked her to prepare.

Ji Xingchen nodded: "ok."

Ni Wen continued: "I did some calculations, and with the works you have not closed before, you may have to paint two more, otherwise there will not be enough exhibits."

"When will it be launched?"

"The third day of next month."

Ji Xingchen sat up suddenly: "Brother Ni, are you not mistaken? Today is fifteen, twenty days, and you asked me to draw two paintings? Are you sure you are not kidding me?"

Ni asked: "How dare I joke with you? Time is really tight, but I believe you can do it."

Ji Xingchen rubbed her eyebrows with a headache. She suspected that this Ni Wen was specially sent by God to trick her.
