Chapter 44: Chapter 40 Coaxing 2 Chapter 44: Chapter 40 Coaxing 2 At the Qi Family Villa’s living room, Ji Shuang sat on the sofa, her ears perked up listening for any noise from upstairs, while chatting on her phone in the “Close-Knit Family” group chat.
Right after she had posted that photo in the group, Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen—who hadn’t silenced their chat notifications—immediately sent messages in the group.
Qi Jingshan: It’s a nice photo.
Qi Chen: It’s the first time I’m feeling happy because of my brother. Look how intently he’s gazing at her.
Qi Jingshan: The young lady is really nice.
Although Qi Jingshan had said just these few simple words, as a leader long established in the business world, his ability to read people was second to none.
There were very few people who could gain Qi Jingshan’s approval, and Ji Shuang hadn’t expected that just one meal would lead Qi Jingshan to give Jiang Ning such high praise.
Jiang Ning was truly the lucky star of the Qi Family!
She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of family had raised such a good daughter.
Ji Shuang couldn’t help but take out her phone to take another careful look at the photo she had just taken.
She had decided that she would print out this photo tonight and frame it.
This was the scene of Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning’s first meeting at the Qi Family, as well as the first time Qi Xingzhou was willing to make contact with someone outside of the Qi Family—it was a moment worth commemorating!
The sound of footsteps descended the staircase. Ji Shuang looked up to see Jiang Ning coming down the spiral staircase, closely followed by the quiet and obedient Qi Xingzhou.
Ji Shuang put down her phone and said with a warm smile, “Ning Ning, are you thirsty? Come and have some tea.”
