Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1216 - 1218: What Does This Tell Us? (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue nodded her understanding, her gaze once again appraising Qiu Yang with a hint of admiration, "Looks pretty good, quite good-looking, and her temperament matches well with Xiang Yiqing."

Finally finding someone who agreed with her point of view, Ji Anning nodded vigorously, "I think so too."

As they spoke, Xiang Yiqing led Qiu Yang to the dining table.

Today Qiu Yang was wearing a short beige blazer and cropped wide-leg pants, her shoulder-length hair draped down, making her face appear even slimmer.

Exceptionally graceful and gentle.

"Ming Yue," Xiang Yiqing first smiled and greeted Ji Mingyue, then pointed towards her, introducing to Qiu Yang beside him, "This is Ji Mingyue, the fourth young lady of the Ji Family."

There was no need for Ji Chicheng or Ji Anning to introduce Ji Mingyue.

One calls her sister, the other aunt, which is really difficult to introduce.

Then he introduced Qiu Yang to Ji Mingyue.

Qiu Yang politely nodded to Ji Mingyue, "Hello."

Ji Mingyue cheerfully invited, "Have a seat."

Her gaze couldn’t help but keep appraising Qiu Yang.

She was completely treating Qiu Yang as if she were Xiang Yiqing’s girlfriend, knowing Xiang Yiqing for so long.

To her, Xiang Yiqing was...extraordinary. They were like best friends, more like family.

During that period in Country Y when she was injured, it was thanks to his meticulous care.

After Qiu Yang sat down, Xiang Yiqing pulled out a chair next to Ji Chicheng, bending down to sit, glancing at Ji Anning and the other two, jokingly asking, "Isn’t this a family gathering today? Would my intrusion be too abrupt?"

He knew Ji Mingyue definitely wouldn’t tell Ji Chicheng and the others why she invited him.

Ji Mingyue smiled and said, "Just having a meal, nothing like a family gathering, who’s family with him."

Saying this, she picked up the menu in front of her, her other hand supporting the table, gritting her teeth, trying hard to stand up.

Seeing her struggling appearance, both Ji Anning and Xiang Yiqing sitting opposite her instinctively lifted their hands slightly, wanting to help her.

But in the end, she stood up by herself, smiling as she handed the menu to Qiu Yang, "Miss Qiu, have a look at the menu, order whatever you like."

Qiu Yang noticed Ji Mingyue’s struggle, hurriedly got up, took the menu with both hands, and smiled, nodding at her, "Okay." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Then she sat down, browsing through the menu, choosing each dish without a moment’s hesitation, "I’ll order these few, see if there’s anything else you want to add."

She quickly chose four dishes and then pushed the menu to Xiang Yiqing.

Before Xiang Yiqing could speak, Ji Mingyue interjected, "It seems like you’ve ordered all his favorites."

"Is...is that so?" Qiu Yang felt a bit embarrassed, lowering her head.

The hair tucked behind her ear slipped down, and she reached to tuck it back again; if you looked closely, the side of her ear was red.

Only then did Ji Anning realize that Qiu Yang had ordered all the dishes that Xiang Yiqing liked. The last time they were at that pickled fish restaurant, Qiu Yang seemed to have ordered some of these dishes too.

Except back then, they didn’t know, and Xiang Yiqing didn’t seem to show any awareness.

But this time...

Ji Anning thought as she looked towards Xiang Yiqing. He sat there upright, seemingly... a bit embarrassed.

So, was he only aware of it after Ji Mingyue mentioned it?

Quite...unobservant indeed.
