Ji Shiting looked at her coldly, walked past her and went downstairs, not hiding his dislike for her .
Xie Siqi’s darkened, However, she still couldn’t help herself from staring at the man’s back as he left .
She saw the light glint of a smile in Ji Shiting’s eyes when he walked out of the study room . Besides women, who else could make him smile like that .
Furthermore, on that day at 1912 Clubhouse, he had seen a photograph of a lady .
Xie Siqi didn’t mind that the man had always been this cold to her because he treated everyone the same way . Yet, there was a woman who could make him an exception now?
“Ms . Xie, the chairman is still waiting for you in the restaurant,” Uncle Jin reminded her .
“Okay . ” Xie Siqi regained her senses and smiled . “Sorry for forgetting my manners . ”
Grandpa Ji was having soup when Ji Shiting walked into the restaurant .
“Why didn’t you talk to Siqi for a bit longer?” He put down his spoon and smiled . “Siqi is a good girl . Although she’s one year older than you, it’s not a problem as long as you like her . ”
Ji Shiting sat down across from him and said, “Is that what she wants?”
“Don’t overthink it . Who said it was for you?” Grandpa Ji snorted . “Siqi is filial, and she’s willing to talk to me . Do you think everyone’s as unfilial as you?”
Xie Siqi also showed up at the restaurant after Grandpa Ji said that . She smiled and said, “Grandpa Ji, Shiting, what are you guys talking about?”
“Ms . Xie . ” Ji Shiting smiled and said, “Grandpa is getting old yet he’s joking about you and me . I apologize on his behalf . You’re like half a sister to me, so don’t worry . I don’t think I’m interested in you . ”
This man’s tone was full of respect, but each and every word was a merciless rejection .
Xie Siqi clenched her fists . Her entire face turned pale .
However, she couldn’t let her emotions get the better of her . She glared at Grandpa Ji and said, “Grandpa Ji, what nonsense are you spouting? In my heart, you and Shiting are my family . ”
“Okay, it’s my fault . ” Grandpa Ji smiled, but shot an irritated look at Ji Shiting .
This kid really didn’t know how to appreciate favors!
“Please have a seat, Ms . Xie . ” Ji Shiting smiled as if nothing had happened . “Uncle Jin, you can serve the food in the kitchen now . ”
“At once, Young Master,” Uncle Jin answered .
During lunch, Grandpa Ji and Ji Shiting would talk to each other about the company .
Xie Siqi was unusually quiet, but she kept sneaking peeks at the man opposite her .
Perhaps it was due to convenience for lunch, Ji Shiting unbuttoned his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, showing his firm and smooth arms .
The man always looked aloof and distant when he was dressed . However, rolling up his sleeves made him appear more at home .
Xie Siqi’s heart pounded faster than it had ever been, seeing how relaxed he was .
She took a sip of the wine, trying to suppress her desire .
At this point, Ji Shiting put down his cutlery and wiped his lips with a napkin .
Uncle Jin immediately handed Ji Shiting his jacket .
“You’re leaving already?” Grandpa Ji was a bit surprised .
“I have a video conference in a bit . ” Ji Shiting took his jacket and glanced over at Xie Siqi . “Please enjoy yourself, Ms . Xie . I’ll be leaving . ”
