Li Chen turned his head and did not let people notice the sadness in his eyes. He lowered his voice and his throat tightened: "If I could forget it, I would have forgotten it long ago."

His words pierced into Mr. Li's heart, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence for a moment.

After a long time, Mr. Li sighed: "Yes, if you forget, why should you always regard Awen's birthday as your own?"

Li Chen lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"But A Chen, don't blame me for telling you. People have been away for so many years, so you should recognize the reality."

"You refused to accept Awen when he died, but the body was placed in front of you, and you must believe it if you don't believe it."

"Listen to me, stop thinking about what happened back then."

A dark light flashed in Li Chen's eyes and he said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that it is Awen."

Although the body looked exactly the same as Awen, DNA was sure that she was right, but he still felt a little disbelief in his heart.

It’s not that he refuses to accept reality, but that there are too many doubts.

He has been investigating these years, but he still found nothing.

Seeing his stubborn look, Old Man Li couldn't bear to continue talking.

He knew how loving his eldest son was with Wen Wen back then. After her death, he was like a devil. He couldn't listen to anything others said, and even Li Tingzhi and Li Muye didn't care about it.

I was crazy for a long time before I calmed down.

"Forget it, I won't force you, just think about it yourself."

Old Man Li got up and went back to the room, leaving Li Chen alone in the study and staring at the chess game for a long time and unable to come back to his senses.

Jing Yi's work efficiency is still very reliable. He handed over the gift he bought to Qi Jingci early the next morning.

Li Jiu looked at it, and her face was surprised, "Why are you... preparing so many things?"

Qi Jingci directed Jing Yi to put the things in the trunk, turned his head and said to her: "It's not good to come to the door with empty hands."

He didn't go to the Li family many times, and this time the Li family has a lot of people, so he was more prepared and prepared for any incidents.

Li Jiu smiled, "Just celebrate my uncle's birthday. There is no outsider here, do you have to do it?"

Qi Jingci's eyes flashed, and he clearly and accurately grasped the keyword eye.

"You just said, there are no outsiders?"

Doesn’t it mean that he and she are both a family?

Li Jiu's lips froze, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. His eyes flashed a few times, calmly denied, "You heard it wrong."

Her tone was a bit guilty, and she felt like she wanted to cover up. Qi Jingci raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a faint smile on his lips.

He was so uncomfortable that he looked at him that Li Jiu glanced at him and got into the car.

Qi Jingci followed closely and sat next to her. The distance was very close. His whole body was wrapped in his breath, and his breathing was in a moment of confusion.

Li Jiu moved to the side quietly, but unexpectedly he moved a few times and forced her to the car door.

He was next to the car door, and he sat next to him, without any room for movement.

Li Jiu took a deep breath, clenched his hands tightly, and finally couldn't help but look up, "What the hell are you doing?"

Qi Jingci's lips raised slightly, with a slight smile in his eyes, and continued to follow the topic just now, "Are you sure I heard it wrong?"

His tone was dragged by him, his eyebrows raised upwards, and his expression was a bit of joking.

Obviously, she was teasing her.

Li Jiu narrowed her eyes, and a trace of danger flashed through her eyes. How dare she tease her?

So she smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes and said, "What about that?"

"But I clearly heard-"

"That's because you have bad ears."

Before Qi Jingci could say the second half of the sentence, Li Jiu was blocked in his throat.

“…”

Qi Jingci was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were filled with helplessness, "It's better if you have bad ears."

If you ask further, you might be furious.

Seeing that he finally stopped, Li Jiu was about to ask him to stay away from her, but at this moment, the car body suddenly slid, and Li Jiu, who was sitting next to the car door, was unstable and fell directly into Qi Jingci's arms.

Qi Jingci was also shocked and subconsciously supported her body to prevent her from being knocked. Despite this, Li Jiu's head still hit his neck.

The soft and fragrant hair slashed across his jaw, and a slight itch came from the place where he was touched was warming up like a fire.

Qi Jingci quickly lowered his head, but as soon as he met a pair of eyes. His eyes moved down, and his hands just wrapped around her waist, looking like he was hugging her from behind, and she was also lying on her arms, with a very ambiguous posture.

The eyes are opposite, and the air is briefly quiet.

Qi Jingci: "..."

Li Jiu: "..."

This silence was not broken until the sound of Jing Yi asking in front of him.

"Master, I just slid my hand, are you okay?"

Li Jiu: "???"

How come you slip every time you drive?!

Li Jiu's face was gloomy for a moment, and he quickly left Qi Jingci's arms.

Qi Jingci coughed lightly, with a little reluctance hidden in his eyes.

To be honest, the warm and soft touch just now felt quite comfortable to hold.

This hand slides just right.

Jing Yi naturally didn't know what the two of them were thinking. Seeing that Qi Jingci did not answer, he was confused for a moment and then continued to concentrate on driving.

The embarrassment just now continued until I got off the car.

Zhou's mother stood in front of the two of them, looked at her and Qi Jingci with a smile, and said, "I'll come here as soon as possible, what else can I bring? I'm so disgusting."

When Li Jiu and Qi Jingci heard the word "sin'er" and paused at the same time.

Li Jiu was speechless, and the name Zhou Ma was changed too early.

wrong!

What was changed too early, and it seemed like this name would be realized one day in the future.

Li Jiu spat twice in his heart.

When Qi Jingci heard Zhou Ma's name, he subconsciously glanced at Li Jiu, and then said, "It should be."

Zhou's mother smiled so much that the corners of her mouth were almost grinning behind her ears.

It is said that Qi Jingci is cold and sloppy, usually with a high profile, and looks like he is not close to a stranger. Even if he is engaged, he will definitely not last long.

But after contacting me, I realized that those rumors were nonsense. Her lady and Mr. Qi were obviously very good, and Mr. Qi looked easy to get along with.

He brought the two people into the living room. As soon as he entered the door, Li Jiu found that everyone except them had arrived.

And there is one more person.

Li Jiu looked at Ji Yunshu, who was sitting next to Li Tingzhi and joking with Mr. Li, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is Dr. Ji here?"

Ji Yunshu looked up when he heard this, and happened to meet her jokingly gaze.

“…”

Old Master Li looked up and saw Li Jiu, and his face suddenly burst into laughter, "Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ci are here, come and sit down!"

He greeted Li Jiu and Qi Jingci, and after they sat down, he said, "Doctor Ji was invited by Tingzhi, and it was also considered to be a thank you for her recently conditioning my body."

Li Jiu's eyes were filled with interest.
