Chapter 13: 矯情包
[Bag of Melodramatic]
After Ji Ling said those words, he just looked at him quietly, not worrying at all that he would move towards himself.
Only to see that Ji Tao clenched his own fists, and then loosened them shortly after, inhaled a breath, looked at the person in front of him, and tried his best to restrain himself from revealing a smile. “Big brother, this joke of yours is a bit too much.”
Looking at Ji Tao’s series of actions, Ji Ling just quietly looked at him, and then slowly said, “Second brother came here this time, it must be very tiring, as your big brother, I have already prepared a meal, eat first, and then you can go and rest.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and someone around him quickly presented the dishes that had been prepared long ago. As if nothing had happened, Ji Tao sat on top of the seat that Ji Ling had prepared for him and watched as the subordinates who came around and placed things in front of him.
When the dishes were served, he looked at the dishes that were much worse than what he usually ate, and his expression was very dissatisfied, but he thought of something and didn’t say it out loud, and his eyes also revealed a little bit of smugness. Holding chopsticks yet he was not ready to eat, just turned his head, looking at the people sitting there, the tone was very frivolous, “Why don’t I see my sister-in-law come over here and eat together? Don’t tell me he is too unsightly so he did not dare to come out to see people?”
Seeing that Ji Tao does not eat, while Ji Ling enjoyed eating, just after he ate a few mouthfuls, he felt that it could not compare with Tang Xiaobao’s cooking, and also put down his chopsticks and did not eat anymore. Hearing Ji Tao’s words, Ji Ling lifted his eyes to look at him and said carelessly, “He doesn’t like outsiders, so it’s not convenient for him to come out to meet the guests.”
Seeing Ji Ling’s expression do not look like a fake, Ji Tao felt that his own guess is correct, so he also become more and more complacent, also with a bit of bragging tone between words, “Big brother, don’t blame my little brother did not advise you, father is very angry with your unauthorised decision, if you still want to go back to the main family, I advise you, you better listen to father. “
Seeing him say so, Ji Ling did not react, but instead faintly said, “Thank you for your concern, second brother.”
Ji Tao usually hates Ji Ling the most, this kind of not absorbing any oil or salt, not eating firewood and rice’s appearance *it describes someone who is extremely stubborn and unwilling to listen to advice or suggestions*, only to think of his own mission to come here, he repeatedly endured it. If it were normal, he probably would unilaterally start to quarrel.
At the end of the day, Ji Ling and Ji Tao didn’t eat more than a few mouthfuls of rice, and Ji Tao let the butler lead him to his room to rest.
After the butler left, Ji Tao suddenly slammed the door shut and kicked a stool, which then bounced off the wall and fell apart into pieces. The servants who stood by the door remained there, ignoring this whole incident, as if they had been accustomed to it for a long time.
Ji Tao was angry, alone for a while, then stopped, gasping for breath, then quickly calmed down and sat down to rest. When it was almost time, the maid who followed beside him slowly served a cup of tea and said in a gentle voice, “Why should the second young man get angry, be careful of damaging your own body.”
Ji Tao squinted at the maid who served him tea. She put down the things in her hands, he then pulled the person onto his body, touching the softness of her body, “Since you know that this master is angry, then let master vent his anger first.”
Afterwards, the room will spread a burst of ambiguous sound, and the people who follow Ji Tao not wonder at strange sights at all, standing there motionless.
Waiting for enough fire in his heart, Ji Tao with the help of his underling’s service, changed clothes, said towards his trusted aide: “Go find out who my good big brother privately got married with?”
“Yes.”
On the other hand, without eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Ji Ling went straight back to the residence, looking at Tang Xiaobao who had finished his meal and was sitting there without knowing what he was thinking about, he slowly walked over, and did not realize his presence until he got closer.
“Ah, you’re back.” Seeing Ji Ling’s figure, Tang Xiaobao’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly stood up, and then quickly ran out to bring back a plate of dessert.
Only after he had re-served the things in front of Ji Ling did Tang Xiaobao realize that something was not proper, and looked at him stammering, saying in a desperate attempt to cover up, “The last time I went to Wang Jiang Lou, the dim sum there was very good, so today when I had the ingredients I tried to make some. I made a little too much and didn’t finish it, so I wanted you to try it.”
The dessert on the plate was neat and tidy, and it was still steaming hot, so it was obviously prepared on purpose. Ji Ling shot him a glance. He did not expose it even when he realized that he felt guilty. Just pick one up, the one that looks like a small lantern, he bites it down, very soft and sticky, less than a moment’s effort, many cakes already completely eaten by him.
Wiping his fingers clean, he looked at Tang Xiaobao, who was still waiting for his comment, and said carelessly, “It’s very tasty.”
Instantly, Tang Xiao Bao laughed, appearing very silly. Ji Ling controlled it for a long time before he could restrain his hand from wanting to squeeze it.
After eating the desserts, Ji Ling rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.
Looking at this kind of Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao suddenly thought of what Feng Ling said this morning. He looked at Ji Ling’s expression and Tang Xiaobao was very hesitant, it looked like he was in a quandary about whether or not he should open his mouth.
“What do you want to ask?” Seeing Tang Xiaobao like this, Ji Ling asked directly.
Tang Xiaobao opened his mouth, and finally said, “Who did you go to see today? Why didn’t you eat with me?” Tang Xiaobao, who had formed a conditioned reflex, was a bit distracted during the meal, and didn’t eat a few mouthfuls of the meal.
Ji Ling felt as if Tang Xiaobao’s tone had some small grievances in it, looked at him to make sure it wasn’t his own mistake, thought for a moment, but still opened his mouth, “It’s my second brother who came.”
Hearing his words, Tang Xiao Bao suddenly thought of something and looked at Ji Ling with a somewhat saddened look. Although he knew that Ji Ling didn’t really want to marry him, this way of avoiding suspicion also made him very sad, he thought they were considered friends. He thought that they were friends. Thinking about this, he felt that his tears were about to fall down.
Seeing him bowing his head, Ji Ling knew that he was thinking wrongly again, so small in courage, so small in heart, really unreasonable person. Reaching out and touching his head, his voice said without any undulation (up and down): “He and I have the same father but different mother, I am not getting along with him and this time, him coming here is not a good thing.”
Hearing Ji Ling’s explanation, Tang Xiaobao lifted his head, but the tears that had just accumulated could not be retrieved. They fell down along the cheeks, and in an instant, Tang Xiaobao’s face turned red, especially when he looked at Ji Ling wiping his face with an expressionless face, he was even more ashamed, to the point that he was not able to show his own face.
After the two of them talked it over, the atmosphere got a little better. Not long after, Feng Ling came in and said something to Ji Ling, and then quickly retired.
Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao, who wanted to prepare congee for him after hearing that he didn’t eat a few bites at noon, and his tone was very indifferent as he muttered, “My that stepmother is smart, but it’s a pity that she gave birth to an useless son.”
