Five years from now, at the Miranda Hotel in forest city.

The spring rain was like fog, turning the bustling city into a hazy beauty that could only be found in movie scenes.

Tonight was Ji Han’s 25th birthday banquet, the Pearl of the JI family. As far as the eye could see, all the political and business celebrities in forest city had already arrived.

The grandeur was no less than any year before this.

Therefore, it could be imagined that the JI family loved her day by day for decades.

The JI family’s annual grand birthday banquet for Ji Han could also be considered a grand private gathering of the upper-class celebrities in forest city.

And in a crowded place, gossip was inevitable.

It was about the scandal of Ji Han and JI yunshen being publicly and privately in love for ten years, and the case of the rich and powerful families that shocked the entire forest city… …

Of course, there were many more, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

For example… …

At the wedding between Ji Han and Gu Xichen, Gu Xichen suddenly announced the annulment of the marriage, giving her almost all the embarrassment.

Another example was Ji Han’s biological father, Gu Feng, who was suddenly sent to prison.

Another example was Ji Han who suddenly fainted a few days ago and was sent to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and so on. …

There were too many, so many that it was hard to count.

Ji Han was wearing an elegant one-piece embroidered white gauze dress. The design of her waist tightened, accentuating the lines of her slender waist. It was so slim that it was almost impossible to grip. On her feet was a pair of ten-centimeter white high-heeled shoes, and her long black hair was like a waterfall The Hem of the white gauze dress was slightly fluttering in the spring breeze at night. From Afar, it looked like a lotus flower emerging from the water, so clean that it was not stained with dust.

She stood in a relatively dark corner, holding a red wine glass in her hand. Listening to the gossip, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Then, she lowered her head, shook the red wine glass in her hand, and drank it in one gulp.

At this moment, the five-meter-high Banquet Hall’s door was pushed open by a few attendants. The first thing that came into view was a five-year-old little girl. She wore a cute bun, a cartoon-patterned headband, and a pink Princess Dress She was wearing a pair of white sandals.

Her left hand was holding Ji Donghe, who had led her into the banquet hall, and her right hand was holding a small yellow duck doll. Her eyes were like black grapes, as if thousands of lights and shadows had been poured into them. They were so clean and clear.

At first glance, she looked like a miniature version of Qiao man.

It was too similar, really too similar… …

The people who saw her could not help but sigh at the magic of genes and how powerful they were.

A waiter walked over. Ji Han placed the empty red wine glass in her hand on it and gracefully lifted the hem of her dress, which was sweeping the floor, and walked towards the two of them.

Ji Donghe had changed a lot since Zhou Lanqing’s death. He no longer chased after fame and fortune and played with schemes and people’s hearts.

Instead, he returned to his ordinary life of daily necessities. He stayed by Tian Tian’s side every day and began to enjoy his old age peacefully.

Ji Tiantian had just left kindergarten when her great-grandfather picked her up and brought her here. In fact, she did not like places with many people at all. Moreover, there was a children’s drama special for her favorite, Winnie the pooh, on the television tonight However, she could not watch it because she was here.

Therefore, she wasn’t happy at all, but she had to act happy. Sigh, who asked her to be a sensible child that everyone praised?

The banquet hall was filled with men and women in suits and dresses. Ji Han walked from the corner to the center of the crowd and immediately became the center of attention.

She had to admit that if it weren’t for Qiao man and Lin Yan in Lin city, Ji Han could be considered a very recognizable and unforgettable type of beauty.

However, compared to Qiao man and Lin Yan, she seemed to be lacking something.

In short, one was aloof, one was arrogant, and the other was bright and beautiful.

However, people could always remember that arrogant and beautiful person, but they could never remember this aloof person.

Ji Tiantian walked with her short legs and followed Ji Donghe step by step into the depths of the banquet hall. The people automatically made way for her, and she saw Ji Han at the other end of the road.

“Auntie, Auntie… ”

She stretched out her Chubby hand and waved it at Ji Han.

Ji Donghe glanced at Ji Han because he saw a few familiar people from the political world. After motioning for her to look at Tian Tian, he walked towards the crowd at the side.

A gentle smile hung on Ji Han’s face the entire time. As she walked closer in her high heels, she squatted down and looked Tian Tian in the eye. “Tian Tian, you’re here. Have you missed Auntie these past few days? ”

“Yes, Tian Tian misses auntie every day. ”

“You’re so obedient. You’re so sweet. ”

Ji Han rubbed Tian Tian’s head. “then… Auntie will bring you to Daddy, okay? ”

Ji Tiantian turned her head and crossed her arms over her chest. She said in a childish voice, “Hmph, I don’t want to. ”

“Why? Daddy just came back from Syria. You haven’t seen him for so long. Don’t you miss him? ”

Ji Han Tucked Tian Tian’s hair behind his ear, looking very patient.

Ji Tiantian’s pitch-black eyes rolled around. “I heard from the maid, Elena, that he came here for a blind date when he came back. He probably doesn’t remember having a daughter like me at all, so… I don’t want to talk to him. ”

“Elena? Is that the Filipino maid? ”

Ji Tiantian nodded. To Express her anger, she puffed up her cheeks, as if she had grown up and didn’t want to lie to her anymore.

Ji Han smiled and reached out to pinch Tian Tian’s Chubby face. “Aiyo, our little princess has really grown up. She can’t hide anything from you anymore. ”

“Of course. ”

Ji Tiantian giggled. “But… for mummy’s sake, even if I don’t want to talk to him, I have to chase those messy women away. ”

This was also the second reason why she had come today. Of course, the first reason was to celebrate her aunt’s birthday.

“Who taught you to speak like that? ” Ji Han could not help but pinch Tian Tian’s Chubby cheeks again. “What do you mean by messy women? HMM? ”

“Elena. She said that other than mummy, the people who approach Daddi are all messy women. ”

Ji Han,”…”

“What a mischievous person. ”

Ji Han rubbed Tian Tian’s jet-black hair again. “then… Does Tian Tian want to see daddy or not? ”

Ji Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then clenched her small fists. “Yes! I have to see him. I want to ask him where he has been these days and if he still has me in his heart. Let’s go! ”

Ji Han looked at the little girl walking away from her and was about to stand up to chase after her. However, the moment she looked up, she seemed to see a familiar figure of a woman in the gap of the surging crowd.

She looked in the direction she had looked in just now. Other than the man who was toasting, there was nothing else.

Could it be an illusion?

After a long while, she finally retracted her gaze. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

However, it disappeared very quickly.

Ji Tiantian’s short calves moved very quickly. By the time Ji Han chased after her, she had already climbed dozens of steps and reached the sightseeing corridor on the twenty-eighth floor.

On the right side was a private room, and on the left was an open-air rooftop.

Star lights covered the entire open-air rooftop, like a romantic scene only found in fairy tales.

Ji Han was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, so it was not convenient for him to walk. He called Tian Tian twice, but Tian Tian did not stop, so she simply stopped calling. Anyway, there were only two high-class private rooms on the twenty-eighth floor. If there was no one in this room, then it must be in that room.



In the private room on the twenty-eighth floor, Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan, who had rushed back from the capital overnight, as well as Mu Xi and the little girl that Mu Xi had brought over, were seated. Their names were Qin Xi.

Although they said that they were her newly accepted artists, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a disguised blind date.

The entire forest city knew that Ji Yunshen had been unable to let go of a woman all these years, and that woman was his ex-wife, Qiao Man.

It seemed that ever since the news of the death of the battlefield psychologist Qiao man came from the Doctors Without Borders, he would go to Syria in the name of a peacekeeping force general for more than half a year to look for her.

In the past few years, from the south to the north, from the east to the West, he had almost traveled all over the country that was filled with devastation, poverty, hunger, and disease.

However, nothing happened. She seemed to have really disappeared from the car bomb attack that the terrorists had made.

Everyone said that she was dead. She had turned into ashes in the suicide bomb attack.

He did not believe it, and he still did not dare to believe it.

Mu Xi poured a cup of tea for Qin Xi. She then stood up and poured a cup for Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan, who were opposite her. Then, she spoke in an elegant voice “Xiao Shen, Qin Xi is my newly signed artist. Her brother is the new upstart director of our forest city, Qin Su, the big shot in film and television… ”

If Qin Su was not mentioned, Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan would have thought that it was just a coincidence.

After all, this Qin Xi looked a lot like Qiao man at first glance.

But if Qin Su was mentioned, then everything would be explained.

Ji Yunshen frowned slightly. He took out a cigarette box from his trouser pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth. He lowered his head and lit it. Then, he took out another cigarette and handed it to Fu Qingshan, who was beside him.

Mu Xi’s expression changed slightly because of his very ungentlemanly action.

One had to know that when she first met the girl, she did not even ask a question and just started smoking. This kind of behavior was very impolite and even disrespectful.

Qin Xi needed to practice her vocal music all year round, so she was especially protective of her voice. Not only did she not eat a single bite of spicy food, but she also maintained good habits that were very different from modern young people.

Of course, she also never smoked. Or to be more precise, she had never stayed in a place where there was smoke.

She was the daughter of the once famous actor Qin Youmin. She was the sister of the newly rich director Qin Su. Although her mother died young, her father and brother had always protected her very well. They had never seen the filth and darkness of this world.

Of course, she had never been wronged by a man. Tonight was the first time she truly felt wronged by a man.

“Xiao Shen, Xiao Xi doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes… ”

Qin Xi reached out to cover Mu Xi’s hands on her legs and smiled faintly. “Sister Mu, forget it. I’m fine. ”

Mu Xi held Qin Xi’s hands back. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man opposite her speak softly and slowly “Miss Qin, although I don’t know what my mother told you when you came tonight, there’s one thing I think I need to repeat, and that is… … I don’t really want to find a woman right now. If you and my mother were hugging me, I might fall in love with you, or perhaps, because you and I are.. .. My ex-wife is somewhat similar, so if you think that I might treat you differently… … ..

“Then I’m sorry, I really don’t have that so-called feeling of falling in love with you or treating you differently. ”

After saying that, Ji Yunshen took another deep puff of his cigarette, then looked up at Mu Xi opposite him “Also, mom, don’t come over and stuff me with a new artist in the future. Those who know that you love your son dearly, and those who don’t know that might think that I have some weird habit of picking on the women in your hands. ”

“You… ”

Just as Mu Xi was about to speak, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside. The high-class Rosewood door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

The few people in the private room looked over at the same time and saw a little girl with a bun in her hair, wearing a pink princess dress, and holding a small yellow duck doll walking in from outside the door.

Behind her was the main character of tonight’s birthday party, Ji Han.

“Ji Yunshen, you came here for a blind date again, right? How many times have I told you? Other than mummy, all the other messy women can’t stay by your side… ”

Ji Tiantian’s voice was the same as her name. It was very sweet and soft. If it wasn’t for the fact that it had shrunk too much, Fu Qingshan, who was sitting next to Ji Yunshen, would have thought that Qiao man had returned.

He inconspicuously moved closer to Ji Yunshen’s ear and spoke in a low and sexy voice “your daughter is really becoming more and more like Qiao man as she grows up. Sigh, I’m really afraid that you’ll be docile and obedient under your daughter’s treatment. You’ll only be alone for the rest of your life. ”

“If you don’t speak, I won’t treat you as a mute. ”

Fu Qingshan raised his eyebrows after being rebuked. He touched his nose and then retreated to his original position.

Ji Yunshen leaned forward and put out the cigarette butt in his hand. Then, he walked to Ji Tiantian’s side. “Who told Your father that this is a blind date? We’re talking about work. Shouldn’t there only be me and women on a blind date? ”

After hearing this, Ji Tiantian felt that it made sense, so she didn’t keep a straight face. Then, she went forward and hugged Ji Yunshen’s neck. She kissed the side of his face. “Then, you’ve been gone for so long. Did you miss her? ”

Ji Yunshen raised his eyebrows. “Don’t we video-chat every day? ”

“video-chat isn’t real life. You can only see it, but you can’t touch it. What’s the use? ”

Ji Tiantian looked at Ji Yunshen aggrievedly. “Daddi, have you never thought about her? ”

“Yes, how could I not? ”

“Then, she needs to go to the bathroom now. Can you accompany her? ”

Ji Yunshen nodded and nodded. Then, he reached out and held her in his arms. He turned around to face the people at the dining table. “Mom, Miss Qin, old Fu, I’ll take Tian Tian to the bathroom. You guys talk first. ”

Qin Xi had never been ignored by a man like this before. In the past 25 years of her life, she had been surrounded by men. This huge difference made her feel very ugly. Her dark eyes were even watery.

Of course, Mu Xi understood the embarrassment Ji Yunshen gave her. She immediately held Qin Xi’s hand and comforted her softly, “Xiao Xi, this is Xiao Shen’s personality. Don’t take it to heart. He always speaks without thinking. ”
