Ji Lanruo met Song Xingjia again one year after attending Jiang Mian's wedding.

Later she found out that this man also came to the wedding, but the two of them never met.

At that time, she had been traveling around the world for more than a year.

For more than a year, her three brothers have been urging her to come back.

But she turned a deaf ear. Playing, of course, you have to have fun.

The last stop was Hong Kong City. As soon as she got off the plane, she saw Song Xingjia in a suit on the outside of the huge TV screen in the city center.

That was different from him on TV, and also different from him she had seen in private.

On the screen was a short interview.

The man was sitting on the light-colored leather sofa. He was noble and gentle. With a smile on his lips, he detailed the development of the family business he had taken over in the past few years.

Ji Lanruo stood there and stared for a long time. She didn't look away until her eyes were sore.

Then he waved down a taxi and rushed to the hotel.

Lying on the big hotel bed, the first thing she did was not interact with fans on Weibo like before, but open Song Xingjia's WeChat conversation window.

The last time the two chatted was a few years ago, and it was Ji Lanruo.

She asked him if he would attend the film festival, and she asked a few detailed questions, but she didn't get any reply, and the screen was filled with her green bubbles.

Perhaps because he didn't believe in evil, Ji Lanruo typed on the keyboard.

【I'm coming to Hong Kong City】

After saying this, Ji Lanruo put down the phone.

She rolled around on the bed as if to deceive herself. She knew that this piece of information would be lost in the sea like many of the previous pieces of information.

Maybe Song Xingjia has long since stopped using this number.

Of course, she could also go to Jiang Mian and ask for Song Xingjia's contact information, but she didn't want to.

Even she herself didn't know what she was competing for.

She covered her face with a pillow and her mind wandered.

Suddenly, he heard his phone vibrate, as if there was an inexplicable force prompting Ji Lanruo to get up and read the message.

She did indeed touch the unlock screen of her phone.

Then I saw the reply:

【Where? 】

Ji Lanruo stared at these three words repeatedly. After realizing that it was true, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably, and then the arc became wider and wider.

She replied: [Tianlan Hotel]

[I’m free in an hour. Can we have dinner together? 】

Ji Lanruo covered her hot cheek with one hand and typed with the other hand: [Okay]

[Well, wait for me. 】

Ji Lanruo watched the short dialogue for a long time.

He said, wait for him.

She immediately opened her suitcase and started looking for a dress.

This one is too dignified, that one is too revealing.

Ji Lanruo was a little annoyed. She regretted not buying more skirts.

Seeing that the time was getting shorter and shorter, Ji Lanruo chose a dress at random with her eyes closed.

When she walked out of the elevator, she saw Song Xingjia in the dining room downstairs.

The man was wearing a white suit with a relaxed posture. He raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

Ji Lanruo ran over unconsciously, with a rare hint of shyness on his usually bright and generous face, "I've been waiting for a long time."

Song Xingjia raised his head and chuckled. There was no alienation in his eyes that he had not seen for a long time, "No."

He stood up and said, "Have you thought about where to eat? If not, I will arrange a special Hong Kong cuisine for you to try?"

"Okay, this is your place, so naturally I will follow you as the host."

Song Yan was waiting outside. When he saw them coming out, he immediately bent down and opened the car door.

The two sat side by side, very close to each other.

Just as Ji Lanruo was about to speak, she saw Song Xingjia answer the phone.

She silently stopped talking. It seemed that he was really busy.

Two minutes later, Song Xingjia hung up the phone and apologized, “Sorry, I just dealt with a small matter."

Before Ji Lanruo could say anything, Song Xingjia turned off the phone.

Ji Lanruo was startled, "Won't it affect your work?"

"It's rest time now." He smiled lightly.

Ji Lanruo pursed her lips. It was undeniable that she was a little happy, the kind of happiness that makes someone treat her wholeheartedly.

Song Xingjia said, “How long do you plan to stay here this time? When will you go back?"

Ji Lanruo, who originally wanted to leave tomorrow, turned around and said, "Not sure, let's have another look. Anyway, the main reason for coming here is to play."

Just as he was talking, the car stopped.

Ji Lanruo followed Song Xingjia, but she saw that the man had already been walking side by side with her.

"This store has a very authentic Hong Kong city taste. I hope you will like it."

Ji Lanruo smiled and said, "Have you always come here before?"

Song Xingjia's voice was calm, "I always came here many years ago."

That was before his debut.

He booked a private room and the two of them went in and sat down.

Ji Lanruo didn't look at the box for the first time, but stared at the man opposite.

Song Xingjia opened the menu, "This is your first time here. How many special dishes can I recommend to you?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

If Ji Lanzhou's eldest brother Ji Lanzhou were here, his eyes would be widened.

This girl has always hated others making decisions for her. When has she ever been so obedient?

Song Xingjia took the initiative and ordered a few dishes and then handed her the menu, “Take a look, is there anything else you want to add?"

Ji Lanruo added a few desserts and handed them to the waiter.

She raised her head and said, "Are you not going back to the entertainment industry?"

She was as direct as ever.

Song Xingjia laughed.

"Won't come back."

He doesn't have time, he really doesn't have time.

The eldest brother's health is getting worse and worse, and the entire Song family is now in his hands.

Hearing this, Ji Lanruo was visibly disappointed.

In fact, I had a premonition for a long time, but I just didn't want to believe it.

After all, who can stay at the peak of their career for several years, unless they don’t want to do it anymore.

But this man has such charm. He has not been in business for several years, but his fans on Weibo have not decreased but have increased.

Ji Lanruo quickly put what she wanted to say behind her mind. The restaurant recommended by Song Xingjia lived up to its reputation and was indeed delicious.

She has always been free and easy-going, and she eats happily in front of her former idol.

After finishing the meal, Song Xingjia wiped his hands slowly, and then said, “I won't have time to fulfill my friendship as a landlord tomorrow. I will arrange for Song Yan to be your guide until you have a good time and go back."

Ji Lanruo was stunned for a moment. She was concerned about another question, “Song Xingjia, can I ask you a question?"

"you say."

"Why have I sent you messages in the past two years and you never replied to me?"

Speaking of this, Song Xingjia had to say.

What a coincidence.

Today, Song Yan was sorting out those old mobile phones for him, and that's when he happened to see the messages Ji Lanruo sent.

He said concisely and concisely, “No need for the previous one."

With someone like him, there are a lot of business accounts and cooperation accounts, and most of them are not handled by himself.

Ji Lanruo nodded and accepted this reason.

His words seemed to easily eliminate the loneliness and resentment she had spent all these years waiting for a reply.

She stood up, her mood brightened instantly, and even her voice was full of joy, "After eating, let's go."

"Take you for a walk to eat."

The two of them strolled along the roadside, Song Yan following them from a distance.

Passing by a shop with a huge queue of people, Ji Lanruo suddenly said in surprise, “It's pineapple cake! You sent it to me!"

Song Xingjia followed her gaze and said, "Yes. We are a time-honored store here. There are many people here every day. I didn't expect you to still remember it."

Ji Lanruo heard what he said and stopped thinking about queuing up to buy one.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, I have a very good memory."

The two of them continued walking forward.

Song Xingjia was not a talkative person, and he would occasionally introduce interesting things to Ji Lanruo.

Ji Lanruo walked beside him, full of interest.

As night fell and there was a hint of coolness in the air, Song Xingjia said, "I'll take you back."

Ji Lanruo nodded.

The two said goodbye at the door of the hotel.

Song Xingjia, “Good night."

"Good night."

Back at the ancestral home of the Song family, there was still a pile of documents in the study that Song Xingjia needed to deal with.

Song Yan followed him, "Why do I think Mr. Song is in a good mood today?"

Song Xingjia asked calmly, “Is there any?"

Song Yan chuckled, "Yes, did you think of Miss Jiang when you saw Miss Ji?"

Jiang Mian, she is with Ji Zhixiu. Song Xingjia knows that she will live a happy life.

Song Xingjia told him, “Remember to pick up Miss Ji tomorrow."

This is also the only thing she can take care of for her as Jiang Mian's uncle.

Song Yan nodded and kept it in mind, "I understand."

…

Ji Lanruo returned to the room and rolled on the bed first.

I always feel like today is like a dream.

The fatigue on my body disappeared without a trace, and I could even go downstairs and run 800 meters.

With a smile on her lips, she opened her phone and sent a message to Song Xingjia: [Are you home? 】

This message was not answered until late at night.

[Just finished my work, good night. 】

Early the next morning, while Ji Lanruo was still in bed, he received a call.

"Is this Miss Ji? I'm Song Yan. I'm already waiting for you downstairs."

Ji Lanruo woke up instantly, "Oh, okay, wait a moment, I'll be down soon."

She washed up as quickly as possible, put on light makeup, and then got dressed and went downstairs.

Song Yan stood downstairs, “Miss Ji."

Ji Lanruo was a little disappointed not to see Song Xingjia.

But he quickly raised a smile and said, "Good morning."

"Good morning, Miss Ji. Mr. Song has a full schedule today. He specially asked me to take care of Miss Ji." Song Yan said, handing over the exquisitely packaged handbag, “This is the pineapple cake that Miss Ji likes to eat."

Ji Lanruo saw the logo on the bag, which was the store he passed by yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Song Xingjia noticed such a small thought. She weighed the still warm handbag in her hand.

Ji Lanruo raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you."

Song Yan scratched his head and said, "You're welcome. President Song said, as long as you like it."

It was not in vain that he lined up to buy it early in the morning.

"Miss Ji, let's go."

Ji Lanruo said in a good mood, "Let's go."

Hong Kong City has always been known as a gourmet paradise.

Song Yan was born and raised in Hong Kong City, and he knew Hong Kong City very well.

With him here, Ji Lanruo would not have to go through a lot of detours alone.

Although Song Xingjia didn't come over, Ji Lanruo subconsciously took a photo of something interesting and delicious and sent it to Song Xingjia.

She didn't expect to get a reply from Song Xingjia, she knew he was busy.

Song Xingjia really didn't have time to read the news.

He didn't see the message on his phone until the last meeting was over.

He smiled, flipped through the photos one by one, and finally replied, “Just have fun." 】

However, at night, Song Yan came back alone.

There was self-blame and annoyance on his face, "Mr. Song, it was my inability to do things well and something happened to Miss Ji!"
