Chapter 137: Is He Wang Boqi
Chapter 137
The man's words made Jing Yi stop in her tracks. She turned around, puzzled, "Do you... know me?"
The man smiled and walked a few steps closer, standing in front of Jing Yi. "What a coincidence to meet you here."
So it really was someone she knew?
Jing Yi furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly trying to figure out who he was.
The man raised a gentle smile and extended his right hand. "Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Wang Boqi."
Jing Yi, standing at the bathroom door, heard the introduction and was slightly stunned.
She asked again, "What did you say your name was?"
Wang Boqi, still smiling, repeated: "Wang Boqi."
'She, Jiang Miaomiao, actually did it all for a Wang Boqi!'
'Yi Yi, believe me, I love you. Don't you want the position in the Jing Family too? As long as you help me, you'll be the only daughter of the Jing Family!'
Jing Yi's eyes flickered slightly as she smiled at the man before her, looking him up and down.
"So you're Wang Boqi?" She had been wondering who would try to strike up a conversation outside a bathroom.
"That's right."
Wang Boqi thought Jing Yi already knew his identity as the young master of the Wang Family. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, but his lips still curved in a gentle smile.
Jing Yi extended her hand, "Mr. Wang, nice to meet you." She smirked, "You're quite different from what I imagined."
It seemed Wang Boqi wasn't as dangerous as she had thought. At least his flirting skills weren't that impressive.
She wondered how Jiang Miaomiao and her former self had fallen for him.
Wang Boqi smiled and shook her hand, saying softly, "Is that so? I'm quite curious about what's different."
Jing Yi lowered her head and smiled without saying anything. Better to leave some room for imagination on both sides.
Wang Boqi didn't pursue the matter further. "I didn't expect to meet Miss Jing here. Are you here for...?"
Jing Yi's lips curled upwards. He had come specifically to intercept her, hadn't he investigated that she was here to visit Jing Zejun on set?
"Zejun is filming here, so I came to visit her on set."
Wang Boqi seemed to hear this for the first time and looked surprised. "Is that so? I didn't know Miss Jing Zejun was filming here. Maybe I should go say hello too. I haven't formally met her yet."
Jing Yi immediately refused, "That's not necessary. She's filming and it's not convenient." It would be best if they never met. There was no need to taint Junjun's eyes with the sight of such a person.
Jing Yi's aversion to Wang Boqi wasn't because he was vying for a position in North river, nor because he coveted Hengjing and wanted to bring down Jing Zeyou.
It was because he had never truly valued any woman. In his eyes, they were just tools. Yet, he placed all his hopes for success on these 'tools'.
Jing Yi's refusal didn't anger Wang Boqi, even though he knew Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan were in the next private room, along with one of Jing Yi's friends.
"Then I suppose we'll meet again when the time is right."
Jing Yi smiled. Having a fateful encounter with you probably wouldn't be a lucky thing.
Having left an impression on Jing Yi, Wang Boqi didn't want to linger any longer. Moderation had always been his principle.
"Well then, Miss Jing, I'll take my leave. It was a pleasure meeting you today. When we're back in North river, I hope I'll have the honor of treating you to a meal."
Jing Yi nodded slightly, smiling as she replied, "It was my pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Wang."
As Wang Boqi left, Jing Yi watched his retreating figure with narrowed eyes.
Wang Boqi, you've finally decided to make your move. I thought you'd wait even longer.
"Yi Yi?"
Jing Yi had been out for a while, so Jing Zejun and the others came out of the private room to check on her.
Jing Zejun looked in the direction of her gaze, "Did you run into someone you know?"
Jing Yi shook her head, smiling as she linked arms with her and Shen Xi. "No, I just accidentally bumped into someone I don't know."
......
In the Jing Family home, a knock sounded on the door of Jing Beicheng's study.
"Come in."
Lin Ruiqing pushed open the door from outside, carrying a tonic prepared by Aunt Wang.
Seeing it was his wife, Jing Beicheng got up and walked over, taking the tray from her hands and placing it on the desk.
"You could have just told me, and I would have come down to drink it. Why did you bring it up yourself?" Lin Ruiqing looked at him amusedly as he helped her. "I'm not seventy or eighty years old, why are you so worried?"
Jing Beicheng paused. He had been like this for so many years, wasn't it just a habit?
Lin Ruiqing sat down on the sofa, and Jing Beicheng sat down as well.
"I came to tell you that Mrs. Gu has invited Yi Yi and me to visit."
Lin Ruiqing was also surprised by the sudden invitation for her and Jing Yi. Then it occurred to her that the Gu Family had a son a few years older than Jing Yi.
Could it be that they had taken a liking to her Yi Yi?
Jing Beicheng: "...Yi Yi is still young."
Lin Ruiqing glared at him, "I'm not trying to arrange a marriage for Yi Yi." She was just making a reasonable guess about Shen Tu's intentions.
Seeing Lin Ruiqing's thoughts drifting, Jing Beicheng couldn't help but say, "I heard that Mrs. Gu has been following Junjun's reality show. She really likes Yi Yi, could that be the reason?"
Shen Tu's husband had indeed mentioned this to him.
At the time, Gu Jin was both excited and helpless, pulling him aside to describe how Shen Tu looked while watching the show, and saying that Shen Tu really liked Jing Yi, insisting that he must relay this to Jing Yi.
Lin Ruiqing was somewhat surprised, "Is that so? So it's because she likes Yi Yi? I thought she wanted me to..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Jing Beicheng's eyes flashed with amusement as he continued, "You thought she wanted you to arrange a match for Yi Yi?"
Lin Ruiqing lightly slapped his arm, giving him a warning look.
It was perfectly normal for her to think that way, given that both families had single children of similar ages.
Aliali: 673eba99c4f3f33ac4ee9836Come to think of it, they should really consider it. The Gu Family's son was only a few years older than Jing Yi, a graduate from a prestigious university, tall and handsome. The only thing was that he was still at an age where he loved to have fun.
Didn't they just see Shen Huaichu at the racetrack last time? That's when Lin Ruiqing learned that Gu Lin was also participating in the race. Doesn't this mean the two children might have common interests?
Thinking of this, Lin Ruiqing's eyes brightened, "You know, they might actually be a good match!"
Jing Beicheng, however, felt his wife was getting excited over nothing. Leaving aside whether the two children were suitable for each other, he felt that compared to Gu Lin, it was probably Shen Huaichu who was interested in Jing Yi.
With his brother in the picture, Gu Lin was unlikely to develop any feelings.
"I'm asking you a question. What do you think?" Lin Ruiqing gently pushed Jing Beicheng. He took her hand, "You're overthinking it. Do you really think a daughter of the Jing Family would have trouble finding a husband?"
"Of course not!"
Even if she never married, she could support her.
Jing Beicheng's lips curved slightly, "There you have it. You finally have two daughters by your side, would you really want to marry them off so early?"
At least he didn't want to. Besides, things weren't that simple.
