It was already midnight when Ji Ziyin received the news.

Because of the time difference, Shadow called her at three in the morning and briefly explained the situation.

Ji Ziyin could not fall asleep after this.

The next morning, she could not wait to go out.

She originally wanted to look for Ji Lingfeng.

However, when the chauffeur drove the car to the entrance of the Ji family’s old residence, Ji Ziyin recalled the awkwardness of being stopped outside the last time.

Seeing the security guards outside the old residence, she hesitated briefly before closing the window and saying to the chauffeur, “Let’s go somewhere else. Let’s go to the city center.”

“Miss, aren’t you going in?” The chauffeur thought she was going to the old residence to discuss something so early, but who knew that she would give up now?

In a bad mood, Ji Ziyin lowered her eyes to hide her uneasiness and did not explain. “To the city center.”

She remembered someone.

Hence, she took out her cell phone from her bag and sent a message to that person.

An hour later.

Ji Ziyin was waiting for someone at a cafe near the Intercontinental Hotel.

“Waiter, a cup of iced coffee.” After placing the order, she sat upright and waited.

As a man approached, the waiter brought their new coffee and placed it smartly in front of the man. ‘Your coffee.”

Ji Nan was wearing a light blue T-shirt today, looking refreshing and handsome. He sat down and said to the waiter, “Thank you.”

The waiter tactfully took the tray and left quickly, leaving them alone to chat.

After Ji Nan sat down, he did not touch the coffee. Instead, he leaned back against the chair and looked at the woman opposite him with interest. “Why did you ask me to come?”

In the message, Ji Ziyin told him she wanted to talk to him alone about Qiao Nian. He wouldn’t have come otherwise.

However, Ji Ziyin did not mention Qiao Nian at all. She pointed at the coffee in front of him and smiled. “This iced coffee tastes good. Why don’t you try it?”

Ji Nan only raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a sharp gaze that was somewhat similar to Ji Lingfengs. “If you have something to say, just say it.” Ji Ziyin bit her lip and awkwardly said, “We’ve known each other for more than ten years. Ever since 1 was brought back to the old residence by the

Patriarch when I was eight years old, I’ve always treated you as my brother.”

Ji Nan frowned, looking impatient. “You called me here to say this?”

Seeing that he was about to get up, Ji Ziyin quickly stopped him. “l want to speak to you about Qiao Nian.”

Ji Nan turned to look at her again.

Ji Ziyin stopped talking about the past and pursed her lips as she looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes. “Qiao Nian is your sister, right?”

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Ji Nan frowned, extremely impatient.

Ji Ziyin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “l know you’re on good terms with her and treat her like your own sister, but do you know how she sees you? Does she treat you like a brother?”

Ji Nan suddenly stood up and said very coldly, “If you asked me out to say these things, there’s no need. We have nothing to talk about.”

Ji Ziyin grabbed his sleeve to stop him from leaving. “Ji Nan, do you know about the Privy Council’s recruitment?”

Ji Nan had grown up under his mother’s education. Xie Yun had raised him to be extremely gentlemanly, and the blood of aristocrats flowed in his bones.

He could not shake off the woman, but he was so disgusted by Ji Ziyin’s actions that he wished he could pull her hand aqray.

“Let go..”
