596 I Want to See My Wife as Soon as Possible

“This…” Qiao Xi was a little hesitant and didn’t move.

“Can’t I?” Ji Mo’s smile became even more obedient as he politely replied, “I see that Sister Qiao Xi wants to help, so I’m going to trouble you. If it’s not possible, I can do it myself.”

“No, how could that be? I just don’t know where to put the watering can.” Qiao Xi’s face was slightly pale under the sunlight. She forced a smile as she said, “I’ll go ask the butler. Please wait a moment.” As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and put on her half-removed shoes before going into the house to find the butler.

“What are you and Grandmother busy with?” Ji Yan approached Shen Hanxing, his dark eyes smiling. He took the rope from Shen Hanxing’s hands and wiped her hands. “Look at you, your hands are all sweaty.”

“You’re back, Mr. Ji?” Shen Hanxing smirked and turned to look at Ji Yan. She asked, “You got off work so early today?”

Ji Yan responded with an ‘Mmhm’. He glanced at the door and said, “I want to come back earlier to see you, my wife.”

Shen Hanxing could not help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard Ji Yan’s words in front of Grandma. She shot him a glance. Ji Yan’s expression remained the same as usual. He removed his suit jacket and stepped into the mud as well.

“Big Brother, be careful!” Without caring about her respect for Ji Yan, Ji Qian jumped up as if her butt was on fire. “Don’t step on the beans I’m planting!”

Grandma couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this scene. Her smile was unbelievably warm under the sun. The scene was extremely warm and happy. Even Ji Yan, who had been expressionless all this time, curled his lips.

Qiao Xi, who had just returned with the watering can, was just in time to witness this scene. She clenched the watering can tightly and stood rooted to the ground, not knowing if she should move forward. At this moment, a deep gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything looked over. It was Ji Mo, the youngest young master of the Ji family. Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly lowered her head. She walked over with a watering can and raised her voice, “I… I brought the watering can.”

“Thank you, Sister Qiao Xi,” Ji Mo pursed his lips and smiled. He took the initiative to take the watering can and said with a smile, “We’ve made a mess of the soil in the vegetable field. Sister Qiao Xi, don’t come down here in case you dirty your dress.” After a pause, he continued, “Sister Qiao Xi, is this dress new?”

In the Ji family, Ji Mo seemed to be the easiest person to get along with. He was unlike Ji Zhou, who had an expression on his face most of the time that said ‘don’t mess with me’. Ji Qian was the same. She looked lively and cheerful, but it was only directed toward the people she cared about. In front of people she was not familiar with, Ji Qian was very arrogant and always remembered her identity as the fourth young miss of the Ji family. As for Ji Ning… she was too shy and rarely spoke to people. As for Ji Yan, he was publicly acknowledged as the most difficult person to get close to in the Ji family. Therefore, under these circumstances, Ji Mo was the most obedient and cute. He would call Qiao Xi ‘Sister’ and ask her about taking care of Grandmother, making it difficult for people to feel distant from him.

The feeling that Ji Mo gave Qiao Xi was that of a prince from a fairy tale. It was something that he yearned for. Qiao Xi really liked talking to Ji Mo and felt that she was the most relaxed when she was talking to him. Right now, Ji Mo was still as obedient and sensible as before. However, when his gaze fell on Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and embarrassment.

“Um, it’s not really new. It’s been a while since I bought it, but I just couldn’t bear to wear it…” Qiao Xi’s expression stiffened as she looked at the Ji family’s busy working in the vegetable field and forced a smile. She said, “I think I’ll go down and help. The earlier I finish, the earlier everyone can rest.” Her eyes involuntarily fell on Ji Yan. Such a high and mighty, cold and noble man, would actually roll up his expensive shirt and pick up a hoe to plow the fields for his family after work?

Qiao Xi had never seen a man like Ji Yan. When she was young, her father would either drink or throw a tantrum and then sit on the brick bed like a boss waiting for people to serve him. Her brother did nothing, he did not even enter the kitchen. Because she was born into such a family, when she was with Wang Wentao, Qiao Xi didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with serving Wang Wentao. In Qiao Xi’s eyes, men were born to be superior to others, and women were born to serve men. And now, Ji Yan, this handsome and noble man, was actually working under the sun after work, not caring about the mud and dirt. Qiao Xi felt as if her worldview was shattered.
