The dinner was rich and lively. Before he knew it, Zhao Jian drank a little too much and was resting in Ji Shaoguang's hanging basket on the balcony. Ji Rufeng walked over with two glasses of wine.

"Try my new bottle of wine." He handed a glass of wine to Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian looked at the glass of wine for a long time and Ji Rufeng couldn't help laughing, "What are you thinking? You don't think I'm tampering with it in this wine, right? I'm not so futile."

Zhao Jian didn't think so. In her heart, Ji Rufeng should be considered a gentleman. She just simply didn't want to drink anymore, for fear that she wouldn't be able to drive when she went back.

"I can't drive the car and let the driver take you away in a while."

Once he said this, Zhao Jian would not be able to shirk it.

She took a sip of the wine, and the cold liquid slipped into her mouth. She savored it carefully and said, "Japanese clear wine, and it's a bit old, where did you get it?"

"I gave it to you some time ago. I just took it out. Tingchen didn't drink it. He said that drinking was a mistake and he could only ask you to drink it."

A small half cup, less than twenty milliliters.

Zhao Jian glanced at him, said nothing, and drank it all in one go.

Ji Rufeng also drank it all in one gulp, the spicy taste flipped back and forth in the mouth, and the burning feeling went all the way to the chest along the throat, which was unbearable and enjoyed it.

He looked at Zhao Jian with a calm face and sat down on the carpet beside her.

That was Lu Tingchen's seat. When Ji Shaoguang sat in the hanging basket, he always liked to sit down and hug her, or lean on her arms. The two of them could often sit for an afternoon, and they felt that it was beautiful even if they didn't speak.

Ji Rufeng sat down and did not move. None of them spoke. Seeing that he was not mentioning what he had said before, Zhao Jian felt relieved.

But at this moment, Ji Rufeng spoke, "Did you reject me just because I am Xiaoguang's brother?"

Her heart was pounding and she had a headache.

She pressed her fingertips on her eyebrows and said, "Yes!"

"Oh." He responded, without sound for a long time. Just when Zhao Jian wanted to leave, Ji Rufeng said again: "Will you choose me even if you are desperate?"

"...Yes." Zhao Jian gritted his teeth and almost said that even if you are the only man left in the world, I will resist the temptation.

Ji Rufeng was helpless. The one he cared about most since childhood was his sister, but now there is such a person who chose to reject him in order not to hurt Ji Shaoguang's heart.

He didn't know if he was angry or funny, but he also pressed his eyebrows down. He asked again: "What if there was no Xiaoguang? What if I was just an ordinary man?"

Zhao Jian thought, if Ji Rufeng was not Ji Shaoguang's brother...

In fact, she would still refuse because she often lost control when she was with Ji Rufeng, and she felt panicked. She didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

She likes things that can be clearly grasped and firmly held in her hands, but Ji Rufeng is obviously not.

The long-lasting silence made Ji Rufeng think that she was accusation, so he couldn't help but sigh and stood up, "I'll arrange the car."

Seeing that he did not ask any further, Zhao Jian's heart finally landed, and the thin air that almost suffocated her seemed to have become full again.

She cleaned up and said goodbye to Ji Shaoguang. Who would have thought that the person who drove was Ji Rufeng.

She suddenly woke up, "Why are you?"

"The driver's child has a fever, so I'll go back first."

"Oh." Zhao Jian hesitated for a moment and got in the car.
