Chapter 136 Uncertainty
Ji Fengfan was stunned and immediately shook his head, "No, I only knew it from you." He was not lying, he usually would not interfere in casting matters, Ning You could decide, and he would just sign on the list in the end. However, Ning You had not shown him the final audition list for "Beauty Robbery", so he really didn't know that Xia Qingqian had been chosen for the leading female role.
If Yang Manni got the news, it should be Ning You who revealed it himself.
But he was a little puzzled. Ning You was always very tight-lipped, so how could he have leaked the news to Yang Manni this time?
"Then why do you keep looking at me with a smile, without saying a word, as if you have known it for a long time." Xia Qingqian didn't believe it. She didn't want to rely on Ji Fengfan's connections to get the role. She wanted to be recognized for her own strength.
Ji Fengfan explained innocently, "Qianqian, I feel very happy when I see you, so I keep smiling. I usually don't interfere with casting, I just sign at the end. I haven't seen Ning You give me the list yet. Do you doubt your own ability?"
"Of course not." Xia Qingqian raised her chin and answered confidently.
"So, our Qianqian is really amazing. Ning You has always been demanding and picky." Ji Fengfan said with a smile.
Xia Qingqian was so flattered by the compliment that she felt a little embarrassed and quickly buried her head in her food.
After lunch, the two went for a walk downstairs and went to the supermarket to buy food for dinner.
Ji Fengfan took a lot of food according to the previous quantity and put it in the cart. Xia Qingqian thought that she was going back to her hometown, so she said, "Buy less. You can't eat it all by yourself. If you say more, it will go bad later."
Ji Fengfan stopped and looked at her, puzzled, "Why am I alone?"
Xia Qingqian picked some things out of the shopping cart and put them back in their original place, and replied in a natural tone, "Aren't I going back to my hometown?" Didn't he hear her talking to her parents on the phone in the hospital that night?
"Oh, when are you going back?" Ji Fengfan asked sullenly, his face changed immediately, showing great unhappiness.
"Maybe tomorrow morning. Sister Manny said she would arrange a car to take me back. Is that okay?" Xia Qingqian had already cleared the cart until only one-third of the food was left. She looked up and asked mischievously.
"I don't care about so many things." Ji Fengfan turned to the other side with a cold face.
"Hehe, I'd also like to experience the feeling of taking a private car. I took a bus once before to save money, but it happened during the Spring Festival travel rush. The journey was too bumpy, so I never dared to take it again. I might as well just take a taxi. The company has a car, so I can save money again." Xia Qingqian was smiling so happily that she didn't notice Ji Fengfan's mood change. The two of them walked to the snack area, and Xia Qingqian picked out two bags of potato chips in Ji Fengfan's favorite flavor and put them in, as well as some dried plums. Ji Fengfan likes to eat snacks while watching dramas, and he especially likes potato chips and dried plums, like a child.
Seeing the little woman bring him his favorite snacks, Ji Fengfan felt better again, "Do you want to buy some to eat on the way?"
"Me?" Xia Qingqian asked, and then said to herself, "I was also thinking that in case there is a traffic jam, I should prepare some food." Then she took two boxes of caramel biscuits and put them in the cart. She liked to eat this biscuit very much and bought some every time she came.
"Just biscuits?" Ji Fengfan asked, and then took the initiative to get her a lot of other things, such as potato chips, plums, seaweed... It was like he was moving house.
Xia Qingqian hurriedly stopped him, "That's enough, that's enough. We're only three hours away from home, there's no way we can finish eating so much."
"If you can't finish it, take it back." Ji Fengfan took some more on his own. When the car was full, he pushed another car over and filled two carts. Then the two of them went to pay the bill.
When checking out, they asked for five large plastic bags to pack everything. Ji Fengfan carried three bags, and Xia Qingqian carried two light bags. They had a great harvest. Xia Qingqian wanted to carry more because Ji Fengfan's back injury had not healed completely. She was worried about pulling the wound too hard. Unexpectedly, Ji Fengfan walked forward with the heaviest of the three bags without saying a word, not giving Xia Qingqian any chance at all.
After returning home, Xia Qingqian refused to let him cook no matter what, and directly drove him out of the kitchen. She rolled up her sleeves and cooked dinner. She deliberately used less oil and salt and cooked it lightly. While eating, she reminded Ji Fengfan with concern that he should eat on time when she was not around, and if he ordered takeout, he should tell the store to use less oil and salt and cook it lightly.
Ji Fengfan just hummed a few times and didn't say much. Even if Xia Qingqian was slow-witted, she could still sense that something was wrong with him today.
After dinner, Ji Fengfan did not go to the study or the bedroom. He sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and kept changing channels. Xia Qingqian watched him change channels twice from beginning to end before he found the program he wanted to watch.
She walked over and sat down next to him, and asked, "Ji Fengfan, what happened to you today? Is there something wrong? You can tell me about it, maybe I can help you, and you won't feel so depressed if you talk about it."
Ji Fengfan stared at the TV, pursed his lips, and replied, "...No."
Xia Qingqian felt like she had hit a snag. She wanted to say something but just as she opened her mouth the phone rang. She had no choice but to answer it. It was a stranger's number. She thought it was another sales pitch, but it turned out to be the driver calling to make an appointment with her to leave tomorrow morning.
Xia Qingqian made an appointment with the driver to set off at 8 o'clock the next morning, and the driver would pick her up at Ludu Mansion at that time.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Ji Fengfan staring at her with some grievance, as if she had done something wrong to him. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "What, what's wrong?"
Ji Fengfan replied sullenly, "Qianqian, I don't have to go to the company recently..."
"The injury on your back has just healed. You should rest for a few more days. You don't have to go to the company, but don't work too hard at home." Xia Qingqian nodded. She was afraid that Ji Fengfan would be the same as before, and would continue working in the study after returning home from work.
"It's too stuffy at home, not suitable for recuperation."
"Why don't you go downstairs every day and take a walk in the small park behind, breathe some fresh air. There aren't many people there in the morning, and it's quiet." Xia Qingqian thought for a moment and gave a sincere suggestion.
Ji Fengfan's expression became even uglier. "I have a driver's license and can drive..."
"I know~" Xia Qingqian didn't know why he suddenly brought this up. It was not like she didn't know that he could drive.
"I'm going to bed." Ji Fengfan suddenly stood up with a stern face, said this and went back to the bedroom.
Xia Qingqian sat on the sofa, confused as to why this person got angry while talking. It seemed like she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
Could it be that... men also have those few days every month when their moods become unpredictable due to the influence of hormones?
