Chapter 42: Playing with Fire and Self-Immolating

Seeing that she remained silent, Zhang Beibei patiently repeated, "Hello, can you give in?"

Ji Xingchen stared at her for a few seconds, then curved his lips into a smile and said, "Okay."

After saying that, she stood up and took the initiative to give up her seat.

She moved a chair and sat in the corner to play her game.

Zhang Beibei was slightly surprised. The outside world said that the eldest daughter of the Ji family was arrogant and domineering, and the most unreasonable. Why was she so talkative today?

She smiled proudly in her heart, guessing that Ji Xingchen did not dare to have any conflict with her.

Although the Ji family has a great business, Ji Xingchen is married after all. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like thrown water. No matter how powerful the Ji family is now, what does it have to do with her.

Zhang Beibei sat down triumphantly, stared at Lu Yanbei's profile, and said shyly: "Brother Yanbei, I am Beibei. I got lost in the garden once when I was a child. You took me out. You

do you remember?"

Lu Yanbei opened his eyelids and looked at her, and the gentleman said: "Sorry, I can't remember clearly."

Zhang Beibei's eyes darkened visibly, but soon, she smiled again and said sweetly: "It doesn't matter, I just remember brother Yan. I won't go out when I return to China. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Lu Yanbei's eyes were deep and showed no emotion, "That's really Lu's honor."

Ji Xingchen's hand shook, and the 98k hit him crookedly. He was shot in the head by the opponent, and the screen turned gray.

She raised her eyebrows, lost interest in playing anymore, and simply leaned on the chair, holding her chin with one hand, admiring Zhang Beibei's attentiveness to her husband.

This kind of drama is much more interesting than a game, isn't it?

Zhang Beibei was busy, making tea for Lu Yanbei, and caring about whether Lu Yanbei was cold or not, and took the opportunity to express greetings and inquiries to the extreme.

Mr. Zhang couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Beibei, there is a waiter for serving tea and pouring water. What are you trying to do?"

Zhang Beibei didn't listen. She just wanted to say a few more words to the cold and noble man in front of her, "Dad, you play your cards and don't care what I do."

There were other people present, and even though Mr. Zhang was dissatisfied with his daughter being used as a pawn for others, he couldn't say anything else.

After playing for another round, Mr. Zhang said: "I'm embarrassed to win any more. Let's change the project. I heard that the outdoor area at the back was just opened last week, which is specially used for sports and leisure. Why don't we go play ball?"

?”

Mr. Chen immediately agreed: "Okay, Mr. Zhang has already spoken, so we will definitely accompany him."

Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang stood up first and walked out of the box talking and laughing.

Lu Yanbei picked up his coat and walked slowly at the end.

When he was about to leave the box, he kicked Ji Xingchen very lightly, "Haven't you seen enough?"

Ji Xingchen covered his calf and glared at him dissatisfied, "I can't help it, this show is so good."

Lu Yanbei gave a cold snort and went out.

Fu Jinbai deliberately slowed down and walked parallel to Lu Yanbei, "On purpose?"

Lu Yanbei raised his eyelids and looked at him, "What's the purpose?"

Fu Jinbai joked, "I knew Mr. Zhang's daughter was coming, so I deliberately brought Ji Xingchen here."

Lu Yanbei smiled thinly, "I look very idle."

Fu Jinbai let out a "tsk" sound, and when he saw Ji Xingchen following him, he reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful of playing with fire and getting burned."

Lu Yanbei raised his eyebrows.

It is well known in Beicheng that Mr. Zhang likes to play tennis, and he himself likes to post some photos of himself playing tennis on social platforms.

He played two games with Mr. Fu Jinbai and Mr. Chen. The two of them had average skills and he didn't have much fun.

Then he turned his attention to Lu Yanbei who was sitting outside the court, "Yanbei, do you want to come and play?"

Lu Yanbei was wearing a white sportswear today. His usual aloofness had faded away from his whole body, and he was now a little more clear and cold.

Zhang Beibei was stunned. When she saw Lu Yanbei getting up, she quickly said to her father: "Dad, I want to play too!"

Mr. Zhang only has a daughter, and he usually doesn't dote on her properly. When he saw that she wanted to play, he naturally agreed, "Then you fight with daddy."

"Pfft." Ji Xingchen struggled to hold back his laughter and couldn't hold it back.

This father really doesn’t understand his daughter’s little thoughts at all.

Zhang Beibei was furious for a while, and kept winking at her father. Finally, seeing that her father was still indifferent, she could only speak by herself: "Dad, I want to play with Brother Yan."

Mr. Zhang was reluctant to step down and proactively suggested: "Why don't we play a two-player game? Beibei and I will be in a team, and Yanbei and Xingchen will be in a team."

Fu Jinbai nodded, "I think it's okay. Mr. Chen and I are tired from playing and need to take a rest."

So Ji Xingchen, who was enjoying the show, was forced to appear.

Zhang Beibei gritted her teeth and spoke again, "Dad, I want to be in a group with Brother Yan."

Mr. Zhang looked at Ji Xingchen; "This?"

Ji Xingchen said generously, "Okay, but my skills are not very good. Mr. Zhang, just don't think I'm holding you back."

Mr. Zhang immediately waved his hand and said, "It is my honor to be paired with a beautiful woman."

After two games, Ji Xingchen’s hair was not messed up because the ball was all caught by Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang drank water out of breath and said with a smile: "I haven't had such a good time playing in a long time."

Ji Xingchen duly praised: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to not only have good skills, but also have such great physical strength."

Complimenting a man for his physical strength is applicable regardless of age.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "Hey! I have been exercising every day these years."

Ji Xingchen chatted with Mr. Zhang for a few more words, which made Mr. Zhang very happy.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhang Beibei standing on tiptoe with a towel to wipe Lu Yanbei's sweat.

The smile on Ji Xingchen's face paused for a moment.

She is here to help him coax his partners, while he goes to pick up girls?

What’s the point!

Ji Xingchen felt unbalanced and was too lazy to deal with Mr. Zhang anymore, so she found an excuse to get water. When she came back, she saw Zhang Beibei looking at Lu Yanbei shyly from a distance. The two seemed to be having a very happy conversation.

Zhang Beibei looks like a young girl in love.

A sneer curled up at the corner of her lips.

Sorry, she won't accompany you anymore.

Ji Xingchen excused his leg pain and left the field. Mr. Zhang still said, "Then you rest for a while, and we will fight again later."

Ji Xingchen smiled and said hello.

As soon as she sat down, Fu Jinbai came over.

Ji Xingchen and Fu Jinbai were not very close, but they had met several times on various occasions.

"Master Fu, aren't you going to play?"

Fu Jinbai sat down next to her, "Yanbei and I are friends. You don't have to be so out of touch with me. Just call me brother."

Ji Xingchen smiled and said, "You seem to be a few years older than me."

Fu Jinbai laughed twice, "Just kidding, call me Jinbai."

Ji Xingchen pursed his lips and wondered, is this person so familiar with everyone?

Fu Jinbai came closer and asked, "You and Yanbei were childhood sweethearts, right?"

Ji Xingchen picked up the water cup and drank.

Childhood sweethearts? He and Liang Ruo are probably the ones.

She said with a smile on her face: "That's right."

Fu Jinbai, "Aren't you the first couple from a wealthy family to have a love marriage?"

Ji Xingchen frowned, could this person speak?

She smiled lightly, "I didn't realize that Mr. Fu is quite a gossip."

Fu Jinbai was noncommittal, "Gossip is human nature, but I heard that Mr. Zhang, the daughter of a wealthy family, has had a crush on Lu Yanbei since she was a child. Aren't you worried?"

Ji Xingchen raised his eyes and glanced into the distance.

Lu Yanbei was holding a racquet in one hand, with an unreal expression on his face.

Realizing that Fu Jinbai was looking at him, his peach-blossom eyes seemed to be curled up but not curled up.

Without the lenses, those eyes are too sharp.

Fu Jinbai felt panicked for no reason. He turned to Ji Xingchen and said, "Don't worry, our Mr. Lu is definitely not the kind of person who thinks differently."

Ji Xingchen smiled, "Really?"
