Unexpected Second Chance at Love [1]

CHAPTER 52: I need to take this call

--

In the living room of the Ji Mansion, Yue Ling and old man Ji sat on one sofa, while Ji Jingxu sat on the other one.

Ji Jingxu held a sulking expression on his youthful handsome face.

A while ago, after he and the old man finished looking at the gifts Yue Ling bought them, Housekeeper Hu informed them that dinner would be ready soon.

While they waited, they decided to catch up on life. He told Yue Ling about all his achievements in school and that he scored the highest out of the 500 students at his elite school.

He wants to follow his sisters footsteps and go aboard for university. He wants to attend the same university as her.

Their chat continued with laughters.

But why he was sulking? Well, he had wanted to sit next to his sister, but who would of thought, the old man was so shameless!

Thinking about it, Ji Jingxu glare at the old man beside Yue Ling.

Feeling the intense glare, Old man Ji didn't care and said nonchalantly,

"Jingxu, set an appointment with the eye doctor this week. I think something is wrong with your eyes. You keep squinting them, it's not good for your young health."

"Y-you old man! My eyes are perfectly fine!" he roar angrily with his finger pointing to his grandfather. His nostrils flare and he continued, "Old man, how can you be so childish?!"

Old man Ji looked lazily at his grandson and grinned evilly, "jealous?"

Jingxu: "You! I wanted to sit with jie! How can you push me and just purposely lie down!"

Old man Ji: "This one is too old to sit for long. So, laying down is good for the old. Right,Ah Ling?"

*swiss*

Both men's head turn to Yue Ling, who had not said a word while the quarrel like little kids.

"Uhh...."

She wanted to laugh but she couldn't. It would only sully the mood more.

Glancing at her red face younger brother, she sighed. Then looking at the old man next to her, she shook her head and sighed.

The old man was too shameless. He's already in his seventies but he was still as strong as the young man he was back in the days. How can he say he was old and needed rest?

She was sitting in the middle of the long sofa earlier, but now she sat at the end.

All because when Jingxu decided to sit next to her, the old man had 'accidentally' push... no, he shoved Jingxu away and quickly laid down, saying he was old and tired.

Ji Jingxu cross his arms and glare at the shameless old man. He scoffed and thought, 'So much for being a general with dignity!'

He shift his eyes to his sister, and his expression change to one of loving and care, "Jie, am I right? Or am I wrong?"

Old man Ji laid on his side, with one hand supporting his head and a mischievous smile on his old face.

"Jingxu, you are wrong."

"Old man, I'm not talking to you!"

Yue Ling, however, was too speechless to even say a word. But deep inside, she felt warmth, she knew the both of them. They may bump heads at times and others may think even think they hated each other, but they loved each other unconditionally.

Their arguments were more like little kids fighting over a toy.

She parted her lips to stop them from quarreling like a married couple, but...
