Nian Ueno

Ji Dongxun pulled his attention away from his phone, lifted his eyelids, and stared blankly at the girl's bright and sparkling eyes.

He looked behind the tree, stood up without making a sound, and walked over.

My footsteps landed on the lawn, light and silent.

Jiang Weixi followed behind him, also deliberately keeping her steps low and not making much noise.

The two of them quietly circled around to the side of the big tree.

He Lingyu clung to the tree trunk, peering out cautiously.

In the blink of an eye, where did those two go?

He Lingyu was puzzled. When she turned around, she was startled to see two people suddenly appear.

"what……"

He Lingyu slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the handsome man and beautiful woman standing side by side.

Sunlight slanted down from the top of the tree, making those two outstanding facial features even more three-dimensional and beautiful in the light and shadow.

He Lingyu's first reaction was that the two of them looked so good together.

In an instant, inferiority overwhelmed her, and the world seemed to lose its color.

The fleeting, inappropriate thoughts that had just surfaced in my mind were instantly shattered.

Four words popped into my mind: overestimating one's abilities.

These four words are how she describes herself.

She was initially a little unconvinced and wanted to see just how pretty the girl was and why she was qualified to go on a blind date with Mr. Ji.

Now, compared to her, she is indeed far inferior, far behind.

When others are only slightly better than us, we may feel jealousy; when others are much better than us, we may feel admiration and worship.

He Lingyu's eyes were fixed on Jiang Weixi. She liked the girl's face so much that she even wanted to get plastic surgery to look like her.

Jiang Weixi didn't recognize the girl on the ground, but she sensed the fanaticism in her eyes, which was strange and incomprehensible.

Ji Dongxun frowned, looked at He Lingyu with a serious expression, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you do?"

Hiding here, acting suspiciously, doesn't seem like a good person.

His tone was as if he were interrogating a criminal.

He Lingyu finally came to her senses, hurriedly got up from the ground, patted her bottom, and looked away, saying, "I, I'm Aunt Wang's daughter. Don't misunderstand, I'm not a bad person. I just happened to be passing by."

Ji Dongxun and Jiang Weixi frowned simultaneously, their gazes scrutinizing each other, their expressions identical.

They look even more compatible now.

He Lingyu had actually started shipping a couple, but realizing the inappropriate situation, she quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, you two continue your date..."

After saying that, she turned and ran away in a hurry.

Jiang Weixi and Ji Dongxun were standing quite close together when they turned around at the same time and their shoulders accidentally bumped into each other.

Ji Dongxun stepped aside and looked down at her.

Jiang Weixi happened to look up as well.

Four eyes meet.

Every time she looked into his eyes, her heart would race.

His expression was indifferent.

She smiled sweetly.

Her smiling eyes and gentle smile would move any man.

However, Ji Dongxun was no ordinary man. He withdrew his gaze and walked back to the stone table.

Jiang Weixi followed closely behind him.

Ji Dongxun glanced at his watch and felt that he had wasted about the time, so he prepared to say goodbye to his grandmother and leave.

Jiang Weixi called out to him, "Mr. Ji..."

Ji Dongxun stopped and turned to look at her.

Jiang Weixi mustered her courage and stepped forward, stopping in front of him and bravely looking him in the eye: "Excuse me, is there some misunderstanding about me?"

Ji Dongxun looked at her for a few seconds and asked, "How come I remember you being Ji Xingzhou's girlfriend?"

Jiang Weixi paused, then explained softly, "We've already broken up."

Ji Dongxun said coldly, "That's good."

Jiang Weixi: ?

He added an even more hurtful remark: "Ji Xingzhou has finally opened his eyes."

Jiang Weixi: ...

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and muttered softly, "I was the one who dumped him..."

To Ji Dongxun, these words sounded like she was dumping her boyfriend in order to climb the social ladder.

She was dating Ji Xingzhou not long ago, and now she's already connected with his grandmother and is going on a blind date with him.

Ji Dongxun had an even worse impression of her.

He turned to leave.

Jiang Weixi chased after him: "Mr. Ji, do you really dislike me?"

Ji Dongxun did not answer, but took large strides.

Jiang Weixi persisted, "Mr. Ji, why are you ignoring me? What did I do wrong to make you so upset?"

She chattered away in his ear.

Ji Dongxun only uttered two words: "Noisy."

Jiang Weixi pouted, paused for two seconds, and then spoke again: "Mr. Ji, I think you have some misunderstandings about me, and I can explain."

Ji Dongxun interrupted her coldly: "There's no need."

He didn't care whether it was a misunderstanding or not, and he had no time or interest in listening to her explanation.

The two of them arrived at the old lady's room door amidst their bickering.

Ji Dongxun gave her a look, telling her to keep her voice down.

Jiang Weixi understood, and decisively shut her mouth, placing her index finger on her lips to make a quiet gesture.

The old lady was sleeping in her room when she seemed to sense someone entering and slowly opened her eyes.

Jiang Weixi stepped forward: "Grandma Ji, you're awake?"

The old lady stared blankly for a few seconds before recognizing the person in front of her.

The maid helped her sit up from the bed.

The old lady smiled when she saw the two standing close together: "Why did you two come over together?"

The old lady said, "It seems you had a bad chat today..."

Fearing that his grandmother might misunderstand, Ji Dongxun quickly explained, "Grandma, we didn't talk about anything. I have a meeting to attend later, so I'll be leaving now."

The old lady's eyes drooped: "You just arrived and you're leaving already? I already asked Xiao Zhou, you didn't have any meetings scheduled for this afternoon. All you do is try to appease this old woman."

Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, Ji Dongxun coaxed her, "Grandma, it was a meeting that was arranged at the last minute. It wasn't on Xiao Zhou's schedule."

The old lady looked at Jiang Weixi and asked her directly, "Xixi, what do you think of my grandson?"

Jiang Weixi glanced at Ji Dongxun, then lowered her head, her face slightly flushed: "It's fine."

The old lady asked bluntly, "Then are you willing to marry him?"

Ji Dongxun frowned: "Grandma..."

The old lady raised her hand, her face sullen and full of displeasure: "Don't speak yet. I didn't ask you. Let Xixi speak first."

Ji Dongxun shut his mouth, turned to look at Jiang Weixi, his eyes cold.

Under the man's cold gaze, Jiang Weixi nodded shyly.

The old lady smiled kindly: "Good child, it seems you are willing."

Ji Dongxun sneered inwardly.

Of course she was willing; she used every trick in the book for this.

The old lady then looked at Ji Dongxun: "And what about Xixi? What are your feelings for her?"

Jiang Weixi lowered her eyelashes and thought to herself: Of course, it doesn't feel good.

Ji Dongxun said to Jiang Weixi, "You go out first, I need to talk to Grandma alone."

Jiang Weixi obediently turned and left, standing outside the door to wait.
