Chapter 172 She really likes Ji Shiyan!
As he approached, Lu Yining unceremoniously snatched the rock sugar pear drink from his hand. She opened the bottle, tilted her head back, and began to gulp it down.
The sweet juice slid down her throat, and after gulping down three or four mouthfuls of water, Lu Yining instantly felt that her parched throat, which was almost burning, was finally relieved and moisturized, making her feel much more comfortable.
Lu Yining was about to exclaim "Awesome!" when she was suddenly met with a pair of deep, dark eyes, as dark as an ancient pool. The other person looked so serious that it was as if they were about to tell her something important.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yining inexplicably became a little nervous as well.
Just as those thin lips moved slightly, as if about to speak, a sweet, coquettish "Brother Shi Yan" abruptly interrupted their conversation.
Lu Yining raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting slightly towards the source of the sound. There, she saw a girl with a pure and innocent appearance, dressed in a pale yellow dress, jogging towards them.
It was clear that she looked lighthearted and cheerful, and as she ran, her smile widened.
Her running posture resembled that of a young girl in love, recklessly rushing towards the boy she admired, like a moth drawn to a flame.
Upon seeing the person who suddenly appeared, Ji Shiyan felt a headache coming on. His gaze immediately turned to Lu Yining, and sure enough, he saw a cold smile on her face.
For no apparent reason, a sense of panic surged within him, fearing he might lose something. He immediately explained, "This is my cousin."
[Oh, so she's Ji Shiyan's cousin without blood ties, Pu Minglan. She really likes Ji Shiyan.]
Lu Yining looked at him with a half-smile, without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Pu Minglan had already rushed to Ji Shiyan and was about to give him a bear hug when Ji Shiyan reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
"Brother~" Pu Minglan pouted, looking pitifully at Ji Shiyan. Luckily, there was a tree in front of her, which gave her some balance; otherwise, she would have definitely fallen today…
Ji Shiyan looked at Pu Minglan seriously, frowned, and lectured her: "How many times have I told you? Men and women should not touch each other. Minglan, you've grown up. Even if we are cousins, we should still have some distance between us."
Upon hearing this, Pu Minglan immediately retorted, "What's wrong with that? Many siblings still hug each other when they're in their thirties or forties. Besides, I've just not seen you for a long time, so I'm a little excited. What's wrong with a hug?"
After saying that, Pu Minglan looked towards Lu Yining and smiled innocently at her: "Sister, don't you think so?"
Lu Yining smiled but didn't say anything.
She understood; this person had come specifically for her.
She coldly tossed Ji Shiyan a sentence: "You two have a good reunion. I'm going back first and won't disturb you."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
She's just an outsider standing here, disturbing the siblings' reunion. They won't be able to have a proper conversation, which is really inconvenient.
"No, I won't bother you." Ji Shiyan subconsciously grabbed her hand. Feeling the warmth in his palm, his panicked heart calmed down a little, as if by grabbing this hand, he could grab her body and her heart.
He stared into her eyes. "Don't go. Let me say a few words to her, and then we'll go sit in the little pavilion for a while."
Lu Yining neither agreed nor refused, but her still posture clearly indicated her stance. Seeing this, Ji Shiyan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, then he walked back to Pu Minglan and stood still.
“Go back now. This is a film set, not a place for you to play around. I’ll have someone come and pick you up later. Does your uncle know you’re back? I’ll call him and see if he’s free to come pick you up.”
"No."
Pu Minglan instinctively refused. She came here to assert her dominance and drive away all the women around Brother Ji.
If she goes home, how can she catch up?
As she pondered, Pu Minglan's eyes drifted towards Lu Yining, a hint of disdain flashing in them. Brother Ji could only be hers! This woman was no match for him!
She has no money, no looks, no acting skills, nothing at all, just a bunch of blabbermouths. There's absolutely no way I'd let a woman like that get close to Brother Ji!
Unlike her, a hint of pride flashed in Pu Minglan's eyes. She was voluptuous and had an outstanding figure, with both beauty and talent. Moreover, her height was a good match for Brother Ji!
When the two of them stand together, anyone who looks at them will only say: "They are a match made in heaven!"
She had to find a chance to wake this woman up and tell her to stop bothering Brother Ji all the time!
Brother Ji is a kind and good-hearted person; if we don't expose her scheme, she shouldn't go too far!
Ji Shiyan ignored all her protests and said, "You have to have it whether you want it or not. I'll call your uncle right now and have him come pick you up."
If he leaves her here, she will eventually become the biggest obstacle in his relationship with Ningning.
His relationship with Ningning wasn't solid yet; in fact, Ningning hadn't even accepted his confession!
For his and Ningning's future, Pu Minglan has to leave today!
"No, I won't go back!"
Seeing that Ji Shiyan had made up his mind, Pu Minglan took two steps back, as if she was terrified that Ji Shiyan would forcibly pull her over.
“Dad is busy. He told me he’s been busy for the past few days. Brother, please don’t bother Dad.”
"Since your uncle is unavailable, I'll have my housekeeper come and pick you up and take you back," Ji Shiyan said coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Pu Minglan stomped her feet, making a "tap tap tap tap" sound on the ground. She gritted her teeth, still wanting to refuse, when at that moment, a car roared across the sky and came to a steady stop in front of them.
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
"Boyu is too busy to pick you up, so I, as your aunt, will take you home. Is that alright?"
Everyone looked toward the vehicle, and then they heard a noise coming from the door. A second later, the door was opened from the inside.
A pair of red high heels stepped out of the car and onto the ground. Her fair instep was like a piece of fine jade, beautiful and flawless.
A short while later, a person emerged completely from the car. She was dressed in red, and wore a red and white rose-patterned hat, which complemented her outfit perfectly, giving her a very stylish look.
After she got out of the car, she walked not towards Ji Shiyan, nor towards Pu Minglan, but rather...
【Huh? Why are you coming this way? This... if I'm not mistaken, you must be Ji Shiyan's mother, right? Shouldn't you be with your son? Why are you here?】
