Chapter 253
Ji Chengfeng smiled lightly, raised his hand to pour her tea, and said, "You can call me Chengqian every night."
Chengqian is his courtesy name.
It's nothing for peers to call each other by their given names, but Xie Wan Ning inexplicably remembered Chen Xier's words. Her heart inevitably skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked up at the opposite side.
What caught her eye was the young man's beautiful eyes, gentle, dignified, and handsome. The moment she looked over, there seemed to be a slight ripple in those calm eyes.
"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, then moved her lips and said, "I'd better call you cousin, otherwise my brother will accuse me of being disrespectful again."
After he finished speaking, Ji Chengfeng's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at her intently and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, cousin is cousin." He smiled and said, "Wanwan is brave enough to come to the south alone. I didn't expect that she would be so respectful to her brother."
"This is different." Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips.
She refused to say what the specific differences were.
Ji Chengfeng didn't ask, but just smiled and sipped his tea leisurely.
Xie Wan Ning felt that the relaxed and natural atmosphere had become a little awkward, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Seeing that the person opposite was still not leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Cousin, coming here to tell me about the Li family, will it take up your time?"
Compared with the smooth dealings in official circles, these words are so straightforward that they make people sigh.
Ji Chengfeng smiled gently, not showing any displeasure at being ordered to leave. He picked up the teapot and filled it for her, then asked, "Will Wanwan feel uncomfortable drinking tea and chatting with me like this?"
Was it because his feelings were too obvious that the girl saw through it?
Ji Chengfeng thought about it inconspicuously. Before Xie Wan Ning could answer, he said, "That's my fault."
"But Wanwan doesn't need to feel uncomfortable or overthink it," he smiled and said, "You saved my life, so it's only natural for me to treat you better." If it weren't for the girl's ridiculous 'palm reading' and those few words of advice, he would be in great danger now.
Ji Chengfeng had never told anyone about this, but now that time has passed, he realized how great a favor it was.
Xie Wan Ning was very pleased, but she still said politely, "I just said it casually, without any basis. It's because you are willing to trust me, a girl in the boudoir, that I helped you by accident."
If someone else heard it under the circumstances at that time, they might just think it was a joke played by a lady.
Only her cousin, the top scholar, not only listened carefully, but also took her advice to heart and changed his travel route according to her suggestion.
At the same time, it also changed the trajectory of my life.
However, after Ji Chengfeng told her that he had saved her life, Xie Wan Ning felt less uncomfortable.
There is a thought that your care for me is not in vain.
After all, no matter what, she really changed his destiny.
After living her life over again, there were many things she wanted to correct, the one she wanted to correct the most was her relationship with Lu Ziyan, but she couldn't get around it after going around in circles.
As a result, he just felt sorry for the death of this brilliant cousin, and on a whim he made a few suggestions, which turned his fate around.
She was his savior.
No matter how polite and considerate he was, she deserved it.
Ji Chengfeng noticed the change in her mentality at a glance, and his smile became even more intense.
"Okay, I won't bother you here anymore," he slowly stood up, looked at her bulging belly, and said, "The weather is getting colder, remember to put on more clothes when you go out."
