Chapter 125 Silent companionship
Xia Qingqian followed Ji Fengfan out of the villa gate. Xia Qingqian was worried that she would delay his work. The banquet hadn't ended yet, but they were leaving early. Was that okay?
Ji Fengfan took her to the car and opened the passenger door for her. After she got in, he went around to the driver's seat and got in himself. He pursed his lips the whole time and said nothing, and it was obvious that he had emotional problems.
Xia Qingqian didn't know why he did that, so she took the initiative to hold his hand and called softly, "Ji Fengfan~"
These three soft words pulled Ji Fengfan back to his low mood. He turned his head to look at her, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then asked, "Did that bastard bully you?"
Xia Qingqian shook her head. After all, they were still in the hall, and at most Ji Fenghe would take advantage of her with his words. She was fine, but she knew that he was in trouble!
The two people just now should be his relatives, but she has never heard him mention his family for such a long time. She knows that the brothers and sisters around him, that is, several presidents of the company, as well as Qingqing and Wan'er, are brothers and sisters without blood relationship.
So, the two just now should be related by blood.
After Xia Qingqian met Ji Fengchuan in the lobby of the villa, she had guessed a lot from their conversation. When she saw Ji Fengfan in such a bad mood, she felt even more uneasy and didn't know how to comfort him. She imagined a scene of a rich family's illegitimate child in her mind. She wondered if Ji Fengfan was the most unwelcome and wronged illegitimate child in the rich family.
Then he is too pitiful.
Xia Qingqian looked at Ji Fengfan with a hint of pity and sympathy. Ji Fengfan didn't know that she had imagined such a ridiculous relationship in her mind. He raised his hand and touched her head, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
He was taken to the study by the host of the banquet and discussed the next steps of cooperation with the other party on behalf of JK Group.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the study and returned to the hall, he saw Ji Fenghe harassing Xia Qingqian. His anger rushed to the top of his head, and he took action without thinking too much. Now that he has calmed down, he still feels that he was too lenient just now, and he should have kicked him in the lower abdomen...
Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed in Ji Fengfan's eyes again.
Xia Qingqian looked at him and hurriedly comforted him, "Ji Fengfan, I'm really fine, and you're not late, really." She spoke to Ji Fengfan seriously in a soft and sweet voice.
The sound was like a fire extinguisher, penetrating into his heart and soothing the pain.
Seeing that Ji Fengfan looked a little strange, Xia Qingqian couldn't help but ask, "Are you... unhappy..."
Ji Fengfan was slightly stunned. Over the years, it seemed that no one had ever asked him whether he was happy or not, and no one cared whether he was happy or not.
He barely raised the corners of his lips and comforted Xia Qingqian, "No, I'm very happy."
He didn't lie. With her, he felt that his meaningless life seemed to have become meaningful, and he was really much happier.
"Then let's go home." Xia Qingqian said with a smile. She didn't care whether it was appropriate for them to leave early. She just wanted to go home and stay with him.
She didn't ask what his relationship with those two people was. She thought that maybe he just needed someone to accompany him now, and all she had to do was to stay with him.
"Okay, let's go home." Ji Fengfan raised the corners of his mouth and finally smiled from the bottom of his heart.
After returning to Lvdu Mansion, Ji Fengfan received a work call as soon as he entered the door and went to the study. Xia Qingqian did not disturb him and went to take a shower first. After taking a shower, she did not see Ji Fengfan yet. She walked gently to the door of the study. The door was half open. When she walked over, she saw Ji Fengfan sitting behind the desk, leaning on the chair, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be surrounded by a huge sadness, which seemed to drown him.
Xia Qingqian's heart tightened, and she felt depressed and uncomfortable.
She turned and went to the kitchen, heated a cup of milk, and walked back to the study.
After knocking on the door and entering, Ji Fengfan turned to look at her, adjusted his mood, and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" His voice was a little hoarse.
"Have you finished your work? Have a cup of hot milk. It helps you sleep." Xia Qingqian didn't answer his question and handed him the hot milk.
"Leave it for now. I'll drink it later. I still have to be busy for a while. You go to sleep first and don't wait for me." Ji Fengfan put the milk on the table, as if he was in a hurry to get Xia Qingqian to leave.
Xia Qingqian stood still and said, "Ji Fengfan, just tell us what's making you unhappy. You'll feel better after you tell us."
Ji Fengfan looked up at the girl standing in front of him, pulled her over, and made her sit on his lap with her back to him. He leaned his head on her shoulder and spoke in a muffled voice behind her.
"The ones I just met at the dinner were the kids from my eldest uncle's and second uncle's families. They are my eldest and second brothers. Actually, my grandfather really liked me when I was a child. After all, among so many grandchildren, I was the only one he personally took care of every day. So my relationship with other people is pretty average. It's probably because of... my grandfather's special treatment..."
After a pause, Ji Fengfan continued, "But I didn't live with them when I was a child, so it's normal that the relationship is not good. The happiest time for me was when I lived with my parents in the compound when I was a child. I was carefree and no one told me that I had to do my best and learn to manage the family business. My father was actually not interested in the family property, but some people didn't believe it..."
If he knew that his excellence would one day cost his parents' lives, he would definitely remain mediocre.
Xia Qingqian listened quietly without interrupting. Ji Fengfan actually spoke whatever came to his mind, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Later... my parents left, and I never wanted to go back to that home." Ji Fengfan buried his head in her neck. Xia Qingqian felt a wetness falling on her shoulders. He hugged her waist tightly with both hands and said nothing more.
Xia Qingqian gently moved her body, sat sideways, stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist, and hugged him back. Neither of them spoke any more. After a while, Ji Fengfan raised his head and looked at his girl, "I'm fine, you go back to your room first, I'll be there soon."
"Okay." Xia Qingqian gave Ji Fengfan some space to calm down.
Although he didn't say much, she knew that the death of his parents must have been a big blow to him. It would take time to heal the pain in his heart and he needed to get over it on his own. All she had to do was to accompany him silently and give him time.
