Chapter 68 I have someone I like
Gu Ai noticed Ning Yi was behind her again, so she turned around and saw Ning Yi smiling at her phone.
"Xiaoyi, what are you looking at?"
"Come here quickly," Gu Ai said.
Ning Yi quickly put away her phone and followed.
Grandma Ning pulled Ning Yi aside for a long chat, telling her how much she missed Ning Yi.
Ning Jian came in from outside after finishing the phone call: "An Yuan will be here in a bit."
After they ordered their food, Ning Anyuan came over from outside.
"Grandma and Grandpa, I'm here!" Ning Anyuan walked over with a smile and hugged his grandmother.
Grandma Ning smiled and patted Ning Anyuan's hand: "Oh, my two good grandsons are here."
Then Ning Anyuan sat down.
While everyone was still chatting, Ning Yi took out her phone to reply to Ji Yan's message.
Ningyi: Today my parents, grandparents, and brother all came here to pick me up for a meal.
Ning Yi: I'll take my medicine when I get back after I finish eating.
Ningyi: Have you eaten?
Ji Yan replied to the message shortly after.
Ji Yan: Okay, then you should spend some time with them.
Ji Yan: I'll eat later.
Then Ning Yi put away her phone and started eating.
……
Ji Yan had just turned off his phone when he received a call from Qin Xue.
"Ayan, would you like to have a meal together sometime?" Qin Xue asked.
Ji Yan thought for a moment and said, "Just the two of us?"
Qin Xue: "Jiang Yuyi, whom I mentioned to you last time, and Han Wenshuo are also here."
Ji Yan and Li Wenshuo knew each other, but he wasn't too happy about Qin Xue's suggestion that he and Jiang Yuyi do a magazine shoot.
Just as Ji Yan was about to make up an excuse to refuse, Han Wenshuo took the phone: "Ayan, it's been a long time since we got together. I happen to be working with Yuyi recently, and I ran into Sister Xue, so I thought we could have dinner together."
"You should come too, otherwise it won't be fun with the three of us."
Ji Yan went in the end.
Ji Yan arrived at the agreed restaurant, and everyone was already there when he entered the private room.
Li Wenshuo stood up: "Ayan, you've been busy lately, haven't you? It's been months since we last saw each other."
Ji Yan smiled and said, "Aren't you a very busy person too?"
"Alright, everyone, come and sit down," Qin Xue said with a smile.
Jiang Yuyi took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Hello, I'm Jiang Yuyi."
Ji Yan nodded politely: "Hello, I'm Ji Yan."
Jiang Yuyi sized up Ji Yan and found him to be quite handsome, but her gaze didn't linger on him for long.
Jiang Yuyi has a pretty good reputation in the entertainment industry, with almost zero scandals. Fans label her as an intellectual older sister, and her dignified and elegant style is consistent with her.
He has only been in the industry for five or six years and is the same age as Ji Yan.
Actually, her manager initially suggested that she and Ji Yan shoot a duo magazine together, which she initially refused. However, after learning more about Ji Yan, and with her manager saying that there was no need to manage the CP (couple pairing) dynamic, it was just a normal duo magazine shoot.
She hesitated for a long time before agreeing, but Ji Yan refused, which made her feel a little unhappy.
"Yu Yi and I recently got to know each other while filming a new drama together."
"I have to say, Yu Yi's acting skills are truly superb; the rumors are indeed true," Li Wenshuo said, taking a sip of his drink and praising Jiang Yu Yi.
Jiang Yuyi smiled slightly: "You flatter me."
Qin Xue, holding a wine glass, said to Jiang Yuyi, "Our Ayan is considered a junior to you in acting, so perhaps we can work together in the future."
Jiang Yuyi also picked up her wine glass, glanced at Ji Yan, and then smiled as she clinked glasses with Qin Xue: "Teacher Ji has great potential, and I'd be happy to work with him."
After taking a sip, Jiang Yuyi turned her glass to Ji Yan and said, "Now that we've met everyone today, we can be considered friends. I'd like to toast you."
Ji Yan also politely raised his wine glass and smiled and nodded at Jiang Yuyi.
Throughout the meal, Qin Xue tried to get Ji Yan and Jiang Yuyi to talk more, but Ji Yan remained polite and distant, spending most of the time talking to Li Wenshuo.
Although Jiang Yuyi doesn't act like a diva and isn't usually stingy, this was the first time she had encountered someone who didn't give her face like this, and she was still a little angry.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yuyi said she had to go home first, and then her assistant picked her up.
"Ah Yan, you're really not giving me any face today," Qin Xue said to Ji Yan, frowning.
Ji Yan's face didn't show much expression: "It was just a meal together, not a business dinner. I think I'm perfectly normal."
"Besides, didn't Sister Xue teach me from the very beginning that celebrities need to learn to avoid suspicion?"
"You..." Qin Xue was a little angry, but in the end she could only wave her hand helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I have to go back to the company now. Be careful on your way back." Then Qin Xue left.
Ji Yan nodded and said, "Sister Xue, be careful on the road."
"Let's have dinner together again next time, Xue-jie, take care," Han Wenshuo said.
Then only Ji Yan and Li Wenshuo were left.
"Want to sit down for a bit? Or have a couple more drinks?" Li Wenhan asked Ji Yan.
Ji Yan nodded happily and said, "Okay."
They found a small tavern, booked a private room, and went in to drink.
"What's wrong with you, kid?"
"Why is Jiang Yuyi so unresponsive when you talk to her?" Li Wenhan said, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Ji Yan poured himself a glass of wine, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and said slowly, "It's alright, I'm like this with people I don't know well."
Li Wenshuo shook his head: "Tsk tsk tsk, do you think you'll ever find a girlfriend like this?"
"Even the most enthusiastic person can be dampened by your attitude."
The room was dimly lit, his eyes gleaming with nonchalance, his thin lips slightly parted: "I certainly wouldn't act like this with a woman I like."
Hearing this, Li Wenshuo couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, you're saying... that you have someone you like?"
Ji Yan smiled without saying a word, shook his wine glass, and then tilted his head back to take a sip.
"Tell me, what's with that expression?"
"I'm very curious, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Li Wenshuo said anxiously.
Ji Yan put down his wine glass, then nodded and said, "I do have someone I like."
Then Ji Yan took out his phone and sent Ning Yi a message: Have you gone back to the dorm after dinner?
Li Wenshuo's eyes widened, and he moved a few steps closer to Ji Yan: "Who is it? Someone from our circle?"
"Show me the photos quickly!"
Ji Yan smiled and continued replying to the messages on his phone, then said, "You'll find out eventually."
Li Wenshuo felt somewhat helpless.
……
Ning Yi received a message from Ji Yan while she was on her way back to the dormitory, and she happily replied immediately.
Ningyi: I'm on my way back to the dorm.
Ningyi: They originally wanted me to stay at their apartment and then spend another day with them tomorrow, but I declined and came back to my dorm.
Ji Yan: Why don't you spend more time with them? They came all the way here to find you.
Ning Yi: We're supposed to have a date tomorrow, right? We already agreed on it!
Ning Yi: Besides, I'll be on winter break soon and can spend more time with them.
Upon seeing this sentence, Ji Yan subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
Ji Yan: Okay, I'll visit my grandma and grandpa in person when I have time next time.
Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this sentence; she was now completely like a little woman in love.
