1399 Relationship Exposed
Jian Yu couldn’t help but scratch his head since it was such a big deal for him. He only had one sister, so how could she say that it was fine?
However, seeing his mother’s happy reaction, Jian Yu said nothing.
“Don’t forget to come back early for the family gathering tonight,” Wang Yunmei instructed Jian Yu and returned to her room to catch up on her sleep.
Jian Yu stood in the living room and sighed. Although he was concerned about his sister, he couldn’t interfere in relationships. He could only observe first.
“Pfft…”
Bai Zhou spat out a mouthful of black coffee and looked at the especially magnified photo in the newspaper in his hand. He shouted, “What is this?!”
The scrambled eggs Si Yue had just placed on the toast trembled in fear at Bai Zhou’s voice and fell back onto his plate. He couldn’t help but look up and frown. “What’s wrong?”
He was shocked.
Chi Yang was walking over from behind with fried bacon. When he looked up, the bacon in his hand almost hit Bai Zhou’s head. “Is… is this the Sect Master?”
When he heard the Sect Master, Si Yue immediately put down the toast in his hand and snatched the newspaper from Bai Zhou’s hand. In the next second, he froze.
This photo was too blatant.
“So they were already together, right?” Bai Zhou regained his senses and asked Si Yue.
Si Yue had always been by the Sect Master’s side. In the past two years, he was the only one who had accompanied the Sect Master. He must know the Sect Master very well.
Unexpectedly, Si Yue looked at him and said, “How would I know?”
“You… If you don’t know, who will?” Bai Zhou glared at him and said, “Haven’t you always been by the Sect Master’s side? How can you not know such a big matter?”
“I don’t know!” Si Yue said confidently.
It was true that he had always been by the Sect Master’s side, but he was not a curious person by nature.
The only thing he cared about was the Sect Master’s safety. He did not care about anything else.
Even though the Sect Master often sent letters from the island in the past two years, Si Yue only thought they were regular family letters.
As for Young Master Ji in the photo, now that Si Yue thought about it, the Sect Master had indeed been close to him for a while. It was only now that he thought about it. At that time, he had not deliberately paid attention to him.
He had never been in a relationship, so how would he know who the Sect Master was dating?
“Someone published this photo in the newspaper. It seems that it can’t be wrong,” Chi Yang said after he had recovered.
The three of them were silent for a moment. They were all frightened by the sudden news, but when they regained their senses, they were at a loss. It was naturally not their place to interfere in the Sect Master’s matters.
“We won’t tell anyone. It’s best if the Sect Master takes the initiative to tell us. If she doesn’t say it, we’ll pretend not to know,” Bai Zhou said.
Si Yue and Chi Yang looked at each other and nodded.
This morning, Ji Haoyu kissed Jian Ai awake.
When she opened her eyes, Ji Haoyu’s magnified handsome face was in front of her. He said gently, “Get up. I made something to eat.”
Jian Ai covered half her face with the blanket like a little girl, revealing only her eyes as she smiled at him. She nodded. “Five minutes.”
Ji Haoyu kissed her forehead dotingly again and stood up. “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
After Ji Haoyu left the bedroom, Jian Ai sat up from the bed. When she thought of last night, her face couldn’t help but heat up.
Although they did not cross the line, just being hugged by him for a night was the most intimate action both had done so far.
After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time she was with the man she liked with all her heart.
Jian Ai felt satisfied and happy.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Jian Ai went downstairs in her pajamas.
In the dining room, Ji Haoyu made some breakfast. When he saw Jian Ai come down, he called for her to eat it while it was hot.
“I have to go to the company later. You seduced me halfway through the shareholders’ meeting yesterday. I have to deal with the aftermath today,” Ji Haoyu said as she looked at Jian Ai with a teasing smile.
Jian Ai also smiled and said, “Do what you need to do. I’ll go to Bai Zhou’s place and follow him to the company.”
“Alright, I’ll send you there later,” Ji Haoyu said.
Jian Ai nodded slightly and watched Ji Haoyu make coffee for her. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
After so long, Jian Ai still remembered the shock she felt when she first saw Ji Haoyu at Yaochi. However, what happened at that time made her first impression of him extremely bad.
However, who would have thought that the two of them would be lovers now?
Thinking of the High Priest, a layer of complicated emotions filled Jian Ai’s eyes. If Uncle Ji had not instructed her not to reveal his news to Ji Haoyu, she would have told him that his father was still alive.
After she broke through the bottleneck, the High Priest brought Xiao Liuli to Antarctica. He said he wanted to find something, but Jian Ai didn’t ask what it was.
However, after leaving, he did not know when he would return, let alone when he and Ji Haoyu would reunite.
After breakfast, Ji Haoyu drove Jian Ai to Bai Zhou’s apartment.
“I’ll pick you up tonight?” Ji Haoyu asked.
“No need. See you at home tonight,” Jian Ai said.
Ji Haoyu nodded. “Alright.”
The two of them separated at the entrance of the apartment building. Jian Ai exhaled softly and looked up at the top floor where Bai Zhou’s house was. Then, she walked into the apartment.
Si Yue opened the door.
“Sect Master,” Si Yue greeted with his usual expression.
Jian Ai asked as she entered to change her shoes, “How is it? Are you used to living here?”
Initially, the two of them lived in North City. The house belonged to the martial arts master, Yang Jie. Later, when the two of them went abroad, they emptied the house and returned it to Yang Jie.
Now that she was back in China, Jian Ai’s new house had long been renovated, and she had her room.
Si Yue had nowhere to stay, so he stayed in Bai Zhou’s apartment.
Si Yue nodded. “I’m used to it.”
As he spoke, he had been observing Jian Ai’s expression. Seeing her smiling and energetic, he knew she was in a good mood.
“I’ll go to the company with you today to understand the company’s situation and business for the past two years,” Jian Ai said to Bai Zhou as soon as she sat down.
Bai Zhou was still hoping that Jian Ai would talk about their relationship first, but she started talking about work.
Without showing it, Bai Zhou nodded gently.
Over the past two years, Bai Zhou was in charge of M Group. Jian Ai had decided on the projects two years ago, but these two years were different. All the new projects were Bai Zhou’s ideas.
After being a hands-off manager for two years, Jian Ai felt a trace of guilt towards Bai Zhou, but she was even more grateful.
“Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao will be back tomorrow,” Bai Zhou suddenly said.
The twelve guards received the news that the Sect Master had come out of seclusion immediately. Currently, only Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao were in China, so both would return first.
“Where did Xiao Zhen go?” Jian Ai couldn’t help but ask.
