Just as the two finished finishing the food on the table, a man in a suit and tie appeared, pulled out a chair, and sat down!

"Uncle Li, you're here? Have you had dinner yet? Order whatever you'd like, it's on me!"

Li Xiuming waved his hand, "No need! No need! I've already eaten at the company cafeteria! Hasn't the person you invited arrived yet?"

Just as Chu Jiang was about to nod in response, Chen Jingsong appeared before him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Chu Jiang also laughed and said, "Speak of the devil and he appears!"

Seeing this situation, Xi Ran felt embarrassed to be present!

"I'm going to browse the bookstore first. Come find me when you're done!"

Chu Jiang nodded in agreement!

Xi Ran greeted the two uncles and then slowly walked out of the tea restaurant!

About an hour later, Chu Jiang also sat down opposite Xi Ran!

Xi Ran looked up, and their eyes met!

Xi Ran awkwardly turned her head to the side, feeling that ever since Chu Jiangyi clarified their relationship, the atmosphere between them had changed, becoming quite subtle, and she couldn't quite describe the feeling.

As a result, the relationship underwent a very subtle change!

Chu Jiangyi's gaze towards her has changed; it's now extremely aggressive, making her very uncomfortable. His gaze seems to want to tear her apart and devour her immediately!

It made her feel thirsty!

This action, when seen by Chu Jiangyi, had a different meaning!

Xi Ran's actions just now hurt Chu Jiangyi a little. Did she really not want to see him that much?

I feel a little hurt and empty inside!

He's thinking about her all the time, you heartless little thing!

"Am I really that ugly? So ugly that even looking at me is an eyesore?"

Xi Ran looked puzzled. Where did Chu Jiangyi get this inspiration from? It was completely inexplicable. When did she ever find him offensive?

You think too much!

If even the most handsome guy in school can be so offensive, then ordinary people like her should never go out?

Is it really necessary to be so harsh on someone?

"Where did you get your inspiration? You're so cringeworthy!"

Chu Jiang also said with a wronged look and an accusing expression, "You still say no? Just now, as soon as I sat down opposite you, you immediately turned your face to the side. Didn't you not want to see me?"

Xi Ran was speechless!

This scoundrel has so many inner monologues!

In that brief moment, so many images flashed through my mind!

"You're overthinking it. I'm just not used to your staring gaze."

Chu Jiang also laughed, and said with a roguish grin, "I'm looking at my girlfriend, that's not illegal, is it?"

Xi Ran blushed deeply and stammered, "Who's your girlfriend? I haven't said yes yet!"

Chu Jiang shrugged. "But you've already agreed!"

"When did I say that? Don't accuse me wrongly!"

Chu Jiang also jokingly looked at Xi Ran for a while, then beckoned with his finger, saying, "He's a male fox spirit lookalike!"

It's unbearable to look at!

"Just like we said at the tea restaurant, I'm in charge of everything. Now I've agreed to let you be my girlfriend. Aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised? From now on, you're my girlfriend!"

Xi Ran looked at Chu Jiangyi in disbelief. Was this man a deadbeat?

Didn't I say I needed to ask my family for permission?

He acted first and informed us later!

"I won't agree to be your girlfriend until your parents approve!"

Chu Jiang also looked indifferent and said leisurely, "But you just said the choice is mine, not yours! Do you really mean that?"

Xi Ran nodded honestly, "Really! I won't go back on my word, you can rest assured about that!"

Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that settled? You've already handed everything over to me. I'm saying you're my girlfriend now, and you're my girlfriend now. There's no going back."

"Leave my parents' situation to me; don't put so much pressure on yourself!"

Xi Ran stared intently at Chu Jiangyi, her eyes brimming with tears, and then she smiled!

This move stunned Chu Jiangyi, causing his lips to twitch!

"It was quite startling to see a girl with tears welling up in her eyes but a big smile on her face for the first time!"
