At this moment, Qiao Xi seemed to be surprised to see Ji Yan here. Her eyes widened as she looked at him helplessly. She bit her lip subconsciously.

Ji Yan couldn’t help but frown. The moment he saw Qiao Xi, he had an illusion that Shen Hanxing was standing there. However, the two of them looked completely different. On top of that, Shen Hanxing hardly looked so helpless and nervous. He had almost mistaken her for Shen Hanxing at a glance just now.

Perhaps it was the strange emotion in Ji Yan’s eyes, it made Qiao Xi even more nervous. Her fingers that were holding the tray subconsciously tightened. Then, all her knuckles turned white. She stammered as she explained, “I heard that you and Madam Ji are back, so I made some hangover soup so that you won’t wake up with a headache the next day.” As she said this, she raised the tray in her hand higher.

Ji Yan looked down and saw a bowl of hangover soup on the table. It was still steaming hot. It should have been prepared long ago. His frosty face eased a little, but his voice was still cold as he said, “You’re so thoughtful.”

“It’s what I should do.” Qiao Xi became visibly more nervous. Her body trembled uncontrollably and her mind went blank. She didn’t even know what she was saying as she stammered, “This soup is very effective… When my father was drunk before this, I made this soup.” She spoke incoherently and accidentally bit the tip of her tongue. Her eyes instantly turned red. She almost cried. What the h.e.l.l was she doing? She couldn’t even say a few simple words. She was so clumsy. What was wrong? Why did she act like an idiot?

Madam Ji was also born in the slums. She did not even have parents to raise her. She grew up with her grandmother. However, Madam Ji could calmly walk among the upper cla.s.s. She was calm and elegant in front of Ji Yan and others. What about Qiao Xi? She seemed to be so out of place. She didn’t know where to put her hands and couldn’t speak properly. She wished she could turn back time and stop making a fool of herself.

Qiao Xi could not help but steal a glance at Ji Yan. He was tall and handsome like a G.o.d that was out of reach. She had never seen a man better looking than him. He was not only good-looking. He had an indescribable air of n.o.bility about him. She had seen with her own eyes how he treated Shen Hanxing. That made her feel that he was perfect. In Qiao Xi’s limited vision, she could never dream of such a perfect man. But now, such an outstanding man like Ji Yan was standing right in front of her. He was so close that she almost suffocated.

Qiao Xi felt a little dizzy. In a daze, she realized that this was the first time Ji Yan looked at her. He usually walked past her when Shen Hanxing wasn’t around. The thought made Qiao Xi tremble even more. She felt gooseb.u.mps and her face was burning. She felt extremely uneasy. How could she be worthy of Ji Yan’s attention? She wished she could find a hole to hide in. She should wear the most conservative pajamas and hide every inch of her skin so that she would not stain Ji Yan’s eyes. Her pajamas were so ugly and old-fas.h.i.+oned. Ji Yan had probably never seen such ugly clothes before. She couldn’t help but curl her fingers. Her hands were so ugly and rough. Would he be surprised about her ugly hands?

Her skin was not fair enough, her legs were not straight enough, her shoulders were not slender enough, and her figure was too flat. Her hair was yellow and dry. Every inch of her body was so bad. She was a far cry from Shen Hanxing. She was so ugly and embarra.s.sing like a failed replica, a defective product. How could she be worthy of Ji Yan’s judgement?

Qiao Xi’s body shrank in shame and anger. Tears welled up in her eyes. It was too embarra.s.sing! Where did she get the courage to be here?

Seeing that Qiao Xi was about to cry again, Ji Yan frowned. He did not plan to stay any longer and said, “Madam should be was.h.i.+ng up now. She doesn’t have time to drink this. You can send it to her later.” With that, he turned around to leave.

“Wait,” Qiao Xi mustered up all her courage to stop Ji Yan. When he really stopped, she trembled again.
