Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Are You Having Fun Playing Me? 8
The night before the engagement party.
Ji Group, the headquarters.
Ji Yebai flamboyantly finished signing a document, and during a break, Ji Yemo emerged with a pale face.
"Tomorrow is your engagement party with Xixi. You should head back and make preparations."
"Brother, are you okay?" Ji Yebai stood up, his eyebrows knitted tightly.
Ji Yemo’s health had been poor ever since the last car accident. And afterwards, not only did he not rest and recover properly, but he also continued to carry a high workload. In the end, his body could no longer hold up and collapsed.
And then, that incident happened at the company...
The group was in chaos, with dozens of senior executives turning traitor. During such a time, besides himself, no one else could be trusted to help Ji Yemo.
"I’m not as fragile as you think."
Ji Yemo smiled indifferently, his gaze sweeping towards the floor-to-ceiling window, the brilliant city lights outside casting a warm hue in the depths of his dark eyes.
"I still remember when you and Xixi were little, how you used to despise each other. You found her gluttony annoying, and she thought you were too cool, even ending up in a fight over that..."
It had been too long, and Ji Yebai really couldn’t recall such an event, so he asked, "What happened then? Who won?"
"Who else could it be? Of course, it was Xixi. You had just fought back a little when she started crying non-stop. You, anxious to comfort her, while she kept crying and hitting you. In the end, it seems she even made you cry."
Ji Yebai’s mouth twitched. Why did it feel like his childhood was so miserable?
And, brother, don’t you think you are laughing too happily? Am I really your blood brother?!
Ji Yemo lit a cigarette, feeling sentimental, "Who would have thought, those two little ones from back then are now about to get engaged..."
Time had marched on, the vicissitudes of life translating into mere moments of change.
Ji Yebai pulled out a cigarette, and Ji Yemo tossed him a lighter. Catching it, he thought for a moment, but didn’t light up.
"What’s wrong?"
"She doesn’t like it." Ji Yebai explained nonchalantly, stretching his body, "I also didn’t expect my heart to be completely taken by her. What is it about her that fills my heart so thoroughly? Sigh~ I can’t figure it out~"
"Some people are just irreplaceable, even if you can’t pinpoint what’s so good about them." Exhaling a ring of smoke, Ji Yemo seemed to be reminded of someone, his fingers pausing in mid-air.
In the vast night, the conversation between the two brothers came to an end.
...
The following day.
Early in the morning, Ning Xixi was dragged out of her warm bed by a servant.
"Umm..." She was too sleepy to even open her eyes, only hearing a cascade of noise around her—
"Help Miss Ning with her washing up."
"Apply some skincare product."
"Are the makeup artist and stylist ready?"
"..."
When she finally woke up, she barely recognized herself in the mirror.
The delicate eyebrows and eyes, the pert nose, the crimson lips, a makeup that was elegant yet captivating. All her hair was swept up, revealing a swan-like slender and fair neck.
The tailor-fit white dress just reached her knees. The bodice was embroidered with light pink roses, covered by a layer of light tulle, embracing her graceful and exquisite figure.
Suddenly, a hurried assistant handed Ning Xixi her phone, "Miss Ning, your phone has been ringing off the hook!"
Taking the phone, Ning Xixi answered, "Hello?"
"Xixi! Hurry to the hospital! Your father... he is critically ill!"
Eh?
Ning Xixi was stunned for a few seconds, her phone slipping uncontrollably from her fingertips...
