Ji Zhixu was stunned. She wanted to say a few more words, but she realized that she wasn't in a business negotiation and didn't have the right to bargain. She immediately nodded. "Everything will be as you wish."
"Mm." Lin Jie nodded. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He saw the change in Ji Zhixu's expression and keenly noticed her hesitant expression.
Miss Ji … seemed to be very disappointed that she couldn't personally come to pick him up.
In other words, she was looking forward to personally picking him up at the birthday party?
Lin Jie's expression suddenly became a bit strange.
As the main character of the birthday party, shouldn't she be sitting there elegantly and accepting other people's visits and gifts? She actually wanted to "condescend" to personally pick him up. What kind of propriety was this? How was she the host of the party?
However, this kind of reversal of priority and urgency, in addition to the many previous hints that were almost explicit …
When she left the bookstore, she caught a glimpse of a blushing face, asked for roses, and invited him to the birthday party … In addition, Miss Ji came to the bookstore because she met a scumbag and suffered emotional betrayal and setbacks.
In that kind of fragile moment, meeting a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, it was very easy to tie this warmth to the person who comforted her.
Thus, feelings that shouldn't have arisen.
Lin Jie had a very bold guess in his heart. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Thus, he felt that he needed to turn this lost lamb in front of him back. He didn't want Miss Ji to be trapped in a quagmire and unable to extricate herself, immersed in a dream that couldn't become reality.
Ji Zhixu wrapped the five books up and put them in her personal suitcase. Then, she carefully said, "Since it's like this, I'll go arrange for these books first …"
"Wait." Lin Jie assumed his most common posture. He crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "I suddenly feel that it's better to make some things clear. Otherwise, it won't be good for both of us."
"!" Ji Zhixu suddenly tensed up like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.
She didn't know that in Boss Lin's eyes, her expression was more like someone had exposed her secret.
"Don't be so nervous." Lin Jie softened his tone and said softly, "I'm not trying to be harsh on you. After all, it's normal for humans to have such thoughts, especially in this … special situation. It's only natural that desire overcomes reason."
He felt that there was nothing wrong with his choice of words.
It was a very normal psychological phenomenon to fall in love with the person who saved you from the bottom of the abyss.
On the other hand, Ji Zhixu thought to herself in frustration, 'Just now, my indecent thoughts of selling the five books to the superhumans who are on good terms with the Ji family or are keeping pets were discovered!'
She lowered her head and said with some shame, "I'm sorry, I was blinded by my selfishness … At that time, I felt that I couldn't control these thoughts, these improper thoughts — please forgive me."
As expected! Lin Jie knew that his guess was right. She really did have feelings for him.
"Alas."
Lin Jie sighed and said, "It's human nature. There's nothing wrong with that."
"However, I think you should know that there are some thoughts that shouldn't be born. This will bring a lot of trouble. For you, for me, and even for your father, it's not good. It will make things very unpleasant. Especially, you have to know that the gap between you and me is too big."
Lin Jie smiled and persuaded her very sincerely, "If you get too close, I won't be able to control myself."
He couldn't control himself from succumbing to the magic of money and hooking up with the young lady of a monopoly company …
Ji Zhixu heard that and couldn't help but tremble slightly. She felt a chill run down her spine.
The gap was too big … She understood that a long time ago. No matter how much she improved, even if she became Annihilation Grade or God Grade, she would probably only realize how big the gap was. She would never have the illusion that she could get close to Boss Lin.
But, she couldn't control herself … What could Boss Lin not control?
Ji Zhixu glanced at the box in her hands. Among the five books, there was one that Boss Lin used as a recipe, Blood Sacrifice …
If she got too close, she couldn't control herself. There was only one explanation.
It must be too fragrant …
She wouldn't be able to control herself and eat it.
Ji Zhixu was shocked by the thought that appeared in her mind. She shivered and looked at Lin Jie with fear in her eyes.
Although she had always respected Boss Lin, she really couldn't keep calm at this moment.
Lin Jie saw very clearly that Ji Zhixu's face turned white. She couldn't stop trembling. It looked like she was hurt by this decisive rejection.
I'm very sorry, but … saying it clearly is the biggest responsibility.
Lin Jie sighed again and said, "Maybe you think I'm a bit cruel?"
Ji Zhixu shook her head like a rattle-drum.
She forced a smile and said, "No, I've always thought that you are a very gentle … person."
What a joke. If she said that out loud, she probably wouldn't even need to get close. She would become a dish right now.
Lin Jie blinked. He felt like this child was hopeless.
The rejection was so obvious. Why did it seem like she was still stubborn?
"You … forget it. In short, keep your distance. Maybe my so-called gentleness in the past gave you some misconceptions. But I have to let you understand that it's just an illusion."
Lin Jie deliberately put on a cold face.
Although he could use this to get more, Lin Jie couldn't make use of people's feelings for him.
"Think about it carefully."
— —
"Phew …"
Ji Zhixu walked out of the bookstore and let out a long sigh.
She looked at the five books in her hands and felt the heavy weight. It didn't seem like the weight of the books, but the future of Luo Er's resources.
The choice of the buyer of the five books was probably some kind of test by Boss Lin. After all, he said that he would come by himself when the time came and didn't need anyone to pick him up … But, if this business wasn't done well, he could also choose not to come.
Rejecting her request to pick him up and pick him up probably meant that he wanted to keep his distance.
Thinking back to when her father came with her and Boss Lin's warning and display of strength, it could be seen that although he was aware of the Ji family's plans, he forgave them because of their "tribute" and was willing to accommodate these ants to play such a game. But this didn't mean that he would stand with the ants.
That was the reason for the blunt warning after that.
I can see clearly what you are thinking. Do your job well and don't ask for too much. Otherwise, his patience and compassion will disappear … Boss Lin must want her to understand this.
His tolerance wasn't the capital you could be presumptuous with.
The seed of desire that had briefly appeared in Ji Zhixu's heart was strangled in the cradle by herself.
