The two of them looked at each other without speaking. The atmosphere became somewhat silent.
After a long while, it was still Shao Ran who couldn't endure it any longer. He drooped his eyes, avoided Yun Che's gaze, and walked up two steps.
As she passed by, she said in a muffled voice, "Aren't we supposed to eat when we're hungry? Why are we still here?"
With that, she walked straight to the dining table and sat down.
Ji Jingbai pursed his lips, but did not say anything. He also walked over together with his, sat down, and picked up a spoon to eat the Egg-Fried Rice one bite at a time.
He had put a little too much oil, too much rice, too much eggs and too much salt
After swallowing down the mouthful of food in his mouth, Ji Jingbai raised his head and coincidentally met Shao Ran's gaze.
In the next moment, she hurriedly turned her head to look elsewhere, but her earlobes were already faintly red, making her look bashful and cute, as if she had been caught peeping.
Although it was just a cursory glance, Ji Jingbai saw the anticipation in her eyes. It was as if she was waiting for him to give her an evaluation on the Egg-Fried Rice.
"This serving of Egg Fried Rice..."
Sensing that Shao Ran's eyes were sneakily looking over at her, Ji Jingbai smirked and spoke with a light voice: "You're not too good at it."
After he finished speaking, he clearly saw Shao Ran's expression become extremely dejected. He bit his lips with a somewhat wronged and disappointed expression, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
Sure enough, no matter how great the change was, his temperament remained the same.
In the past, Shao Ran had a somewhat arrogant and proud personality. She didn't like others saying that she was in trouble, but if someone really said something, she would only be sulking, unhappy, but not angry.
Just like now, although he was extremely disappointed, he did not say a single word and just hung his head, feeling extremely wronged.
How could Ji Jingbai bear to see her being wronged? He coughed lightly and leisurely opened his mouth again: "But the taste isn't bad, I really like it."
As he spoke, he took the spoon and began to eat.
When Shao Ran heard it, she gradually felt a sense of happiness, but she bit her lips, not easily showing it through.
She didn't want Ji Jingbai to discover that she was actually feeling happy or sad because of a few casual words from him.
Halfway through eating, Ji Jingbai once again said: "What do you want to do before you are willing to return to my side?"
Shao Ran was startled for a moment, then understood what he meant, his heart immediately started beating even faster.
But she still secretly held onto her chest, and then indifferently said: "What are you going to do if I return to your side? Mr. Ji must have forgotten that you are someone who has a fiancee. Although she is not in the country now, isn't it bad for you to openly give her a green hat? "
Every time he thought of Lan Ruijin, Shao Ran would feel a pang in her heart. That was an existence that she would never forget. If it wasn't for her, she might still be together with Ji Jingbai, instead of hiding like now where even her own child had to suffer along with her.
It was all because of that woman!
Looking at the rarely seen expression of resentment on Shao Ran's face, Ji Jingbai couldn't help but feel somewhat doubtful in his heart.
"From the looks of it, you seem to be very against Lan Ruijin. Do you have any conflicts between the two of you?"
"Festival?" "Heh!"
With a cold laugh, Shao Ran wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, she hesitated.
Ye Zichen frowned, but didn't say anything out loud, "There's no conflict between us, and I'm not familiar with her either. I don't know her."
Hearing this, the doubt in Ji Jingbai's heart became even more intense. His intuition told him that there must be something going on between the two of them.
So he changed the topic and said indifferently: "Lan Ruijin is not my fiancee, we are partners. Even though my parents really liked her, I don't have any relationship with her, and in my heart, it's just you. Other than you, there's no other person I can tolerate."
If it was such a passionate confession, Shao Ran would definitely have been moved to tears and threw himself into his embrace without a word.
But now, she wasn't as naive as she thought. Some things weren't as simple as she thought. In the face of many things, emotions were the least valuable.
Both of his hands were on his knees, grabbing the sides of his apron tightly. Shao Ran lowered her head and did not say a word.
Seeing that, Ji Jingbai knew that she did not want to answer, so she silently sighed and changed the topic: "If you do not wish to say these things, then I will not force you, and if you do not wish to come back for the time being, then I will not force you, but there is one thing I need to say, the house you are renting right now is not too good, the security environment is so poor, so what should I do now? Move to my house. I have a house that is very close to where you work. You don't even have to take a bus to and from work. It's very convenient. "
"No need."
Without even thinking about it, Shao Ran rejected him without hesitation. He finally raised his head, looked at him, and said righteously: "Ji Jingbai, let me be frank with you, I don't want to get involved in any way with you. We have been separated for so long, how about we continue on with each other until death? Why are you looking for me? I'm begging you, just let me go, can't you just let me live? "
Seeing her pained and imploring him, Ji Jingbai's brows tightly knitted together. There was a clear displeasure on his face and he suppressed his anger, but his tone was not as friendly as before. "Shao Ran, what do you mean by saying these words? I am going to watch as you all are in danger, but I remain indifferent and ignore it. Do you really feel happy about that? "
"Why is this place so dangerous? There are so many people living here, and there have never been any problems. Why can't we just go anywhere we want?" Under his rage, Shao Ran's tone became even worse, and her face became as cold as frost, "As the eldest young master, you naturally feel that it's not that you can't live in a villa, or that you can't even eat delicacies. So a small house like ours, in your eyes, is just like a pile of trash. "But I'm sorry, since we don't have your life, we can only live in a place like this. If you don't like it, then you can't come. No one is begging you!"
"Shao Ran!"
Her attitude had successfully angered Ji Jingbai, he slammed the table hard, his face was gloomy, his eyes filled with anger.
