The atmosphere inside the car had become more subtle. Bu Ting steadily held onto the steering wheel as he followed behind an off-road car and drove out of the company"s main entrance.
Ji Tingyan"s taut heartstrings relaxed. She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. After the snow, the mountains in the distance had already turned white. The cedar trees were close by, and they were intertwined with each other.
Suddenly, the sound of a game came from the backseat. After Lu Mengmeng got angry for a while, she took out her phone to play the game. She purposefully turned up the volume of her voice and the action of pressing the b.u.t.ton was very vicious.
Ji Tingyan did not argue with her, but it was actually because she was around the same age as her own little sister. She had once spoiled her little sister at home, and seeing a girl of the same age, she always felt a little more tolerant.
Ba Ting frowned in displeasure, and directly requested: "Mengmeng, lower your voice."
Ji Tingyan subconsciously looked at the back of the seat and saw Lu Mengmeng staring at her with red eyes, as if she was the one who had hurt her.
Ji Tingyan was a bit speechless, this girl"s temper was too big. Now, she hated her as a love rival.
A love rival?
When those two words appeared in Ji Tingyan"s mind, her breathing became sluggish and she felt a little uncomfortable all over.
In her spare time, she saw a man focusing on driving. He was wearing casual clothes, a gray turtleneck and a black uniform. He looked young and manly. His aura was as cold and vigorous as a cedar outside the window, giving people a feeling that he would feel safe as long as he was by his side.
Ji Tingyan was a bit absent-minded, the reason why she explained things to Bi Ting was entirely because of her pride, her parents taught her to be more understanding, and she could not be forgiven, so when Bi Ting helped her settle the bill and asked her to leave, at that moment, she really felt that she had shamed herself, that it was a bit despicable.
That explanation was to make her heart feel better. At the same time, she also believed that Bi Ting didn"t have a good impression of her. After that explanation, Ji Tingyan carefully tightened her heart and didn"t dare to be impudent.
However, she didn"t understand what this man was trying to do. If he didn"t have a good impression of her, he wouldn"t have helped her time and time again. And now, he even made her sit in such an awkward position.
Ji Tingyan still had some small grudges. She hated this unclear feeling and did not want to be treated as a love rival by Lu Mengmeng.
"Miss Ji, do you have a boyfriend?" After Lu Mengmeng played the game for a while, she felt bored, so she intentionally leaned over and asked Ji Tingyan.
Ji Tingyan was stu
ed for a moment, then she suddenly felt Bi Ting turn his head to look at her, and their eyes met.
Ji Tingyan"s mind was in a daze. The man"s eyes had an unspeakable profoundness that almost made her fall in love.
"No ??." "No." Ji Tingyan stuttered.
Lu Mengmeng immediately grabbed hold of her words, "Why are you so hesitant in answering. You must be lying. You have a boyfriend, right?"
Ji Tingyan did not expect Lu Mengmeng to say that, so she suddenly became a bit angry, "Miss Lu, do you think it"s related to whether I have a boyfriend or not?"
"Yeah, if you have a boyfriend, we"re friends." Lu Mengmeng"s gaze was gently and coquettishly looking at s.h.i.+ Ting. Even just by looking at his back, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
Ji Tingyan also had her own pride, she lightly said, "Sorry, I don"t want to be your friend."
Lu Mengmeng was immediately stumped as her eyes stared like copper bells, "How n.o.ble are you? Why aren"t you making friends with me? Hmph, who do you think you are? I didn"t even want to be friends with you. "
"Lu Mengmeng, if you continue spouting nonsense, I"ll let you down." "Stop him!"
Lu Mengmeng"s expression stiffened and became even more aggrieved. She hugged one of her dolls and sat curled up in the back seat with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Ji Tingyan took out her cell phone and put it on. She didn"t love anyone, but she liked listening to music the most.
Bu Ting glanced at her and started to panic. Was she angry?
After driving for nearly two hours, they arrived at a small town. The town could not be considered bustling, and it had the simplest local customs and practices.
w.a.n.g Chen knew this area like the back of her hand. She soon found a restaurant and everyone got off the car for lunch.
There were two tables, and it was the first time Li Jingwen got so close to Bi Ting. Bi Ting was currently discussing the next route with w.a.n.g Chen, and the low voice made Li Jingwen"s heart palpitate. She listened with a bit of absent-mindedness.
Ji Tingyan didn"t want to sit at the table. Just now, she saw a small garden outside with horses and sheep. She walked over curiously, and saw a middle-aged woman feeding them gra.s.s.
Ji Tingyan squatted under the roof, took out her camera, took a few pictures, and then took pictures of the people around her. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Ba Ting standing behind her, and she was so shocked that her heels slipped and she fell backwards, grabbing forward in panic.
At this moment, a pair of large hands reached out from her waist and firmly pulled her back. At the same time, her hands nervously and uneasily grabbed onto the other party"s clothes.
"The ground is covered in ice, be careful when you walk." The man"s deep voice sounded in her ears.
After standing steadily, Ji Tingyan gently pushed him away, "Thank you, I will be careful."
"Miss Ji, Lu Mengmeng is still young and inexperienced, please do not lower yourself to her level." Ba Ting looked at her with a complicated gaze as he spoke.
"Don"t worry, I"m not that petty. Moreover, for your sake, I won"t hold a grudge. You"ve helped me so much, so I haven"t thanked you for that yet." Ji Tingyan smiled and replied in a free and easy ma
er.
"I don"t have the kind of relations.h.i.+p with her that you think I do. I already said that I treat her as my younger sister."
Ji Tingyan raised her chin disapprovingly, "I don"t care about the relations.h.i.+p between Mr. s.h.i.+ and her."
"But what you said just now seemed to make you jealous." Ba Ting realized that the way she was speaking gave off a feeling of being unreachable. This kind of aura caused him to be slightly startled.
Ji Tingyan laughed with ridicule, "Is Mr s.h.i.+ thinking too much? How can I be jealous? Look at my appearance, my family background is not bad, do I look like someone who hates marriage? "
Chi Ting was speechless, his gaze sweeping over the woman. Indeed, for an almost perfect woman like her, she would be robbed no matter where she went.
Seeing that he was silent, she suddenly felt that her tone was too harsh. She quickly shrugged her shoulders and explained: "I just don"t like the feeling of being seen as a love rival. Miss Lu seems to have misunderstood my relations.h.i.+p with you."
Ya Ting looked at her eyes. Even in such a cold place, her eyes were still as clear as spring water. Being stared at by her made his heart palpitate.
"Perhaps, she did not misunderstand for no reason, but for a reason." She smiled. Ji Tingyan"s expression froze, "What do you mean? I"ve made it clear that I don"t have that kind of feeling for you. "
"You don"t have any left, why don"t you ask me, do you?" Ba Ting suddenly took a step forward. Ji Tingyan was so scared that she retreated back. This time, her feet slipped again, but she didn"t move backwards, instead she threw herself forward.
