Chapter 20 When the Playboy Turns Over a New Leaf

"How could I possibly accept that?" Liao Zhuxin felt that her emotional intelligence was too low; she should have been the one to offer to treat her to dinner. "We should be the ones treating you."

Liao Jinhe waved her hand: "What does it matter? You can invite me to your house for dinner next time."

"To be honest, I don't have many friends, so I'm very happy to have chatted with you for so long today."

Entering Liao Zhuxin's life was her main purpose.

She wanted to see how Ji Huaizhi treated her in private.

"Of course, you are welcome to visit anytime."

When Ji Huaizhi arrived at the parking lot, he opened the back seat and found that the person sitting next to him was not his beloved wife.

His face fell immediately when he saw Liao Jinhe.

"What? Young Master Ji doesn't want to see me?" Liao Jinhe felt a little better when she saw his expression.

"Huaizhi, this is my new friend. Let's have dinner together tonight." Liao Zhuxin blinked, trying to awaken Ji Huaizhi's love for her.

"Okay." Ji Huaizhi had no choice but to close the door and go to the front seat.

They discovered that the driver was Liao Jinhe's assistant, and the two exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Ji Huaizhi then remembered that Zhu Xin was alone today: "Where is Feng Xiang, who was with you?"

“We’ve come to pick you up, so let her go back first. Anyway, you’re with me, so there’s no need for her to come along,” Liao Zhuxin said sweetly.

Ji Huaizhi nodded.

Liao Jinhe suddenly spoke up: "I didn't expect Second Young Master Ji to keep such a close eye on Zhu Xin. Is this because he lacks self-confidence?"

"Isn't it a matter of course to keep an eye on your wife? These days, if your wife doesn't run away, you've already won."

Hearing Ji Huaizhi's words, Liao Zhuxin nudged his shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Assistant Fang had reserved the location in advance.

The private room was in a great high-altitude position with a great view, and you could see half of the city lights in the distance.

"It's so beautiful!" Liao Zhuxin was clearly in a good mood.

Assistant Fang glanced at Miss Liao and said, "Miss Liao, you're welcome to come anytime you like." He then took out a card from his pocket: "This is a VIP membership for this store."

"You can enjoy free services for life."

Liao Zhuxin: "This..."

"Take it. Miss Liao's family is so wealthy and powerful, she won't go broke from eating it," Ji Huaizhi teased her.

After taking their seats, Ji Huaizhi asked jokingly, "When did the Liao family start venturing into the catering industry?"

Assistant Fang stood to the side with his head down. He had only hired the restaurant owner temporarily. When the owner heard that he wanted to acquire the restaurant, he thought that Assistant Fang was there to cause trouble.

"The Liao family era is constantly changing. Food is the most important thing for people, and the catering industry always comes first."

Liao Jinhe's expression remained unchanged.

There are dedicated waiters here to cook the ingredients and serve them.

Liao Zhuxin's appetite hadn't been very good lately, but the hot pot made with Tom Yum soup whetted her appetite.

Liao Jinhe placed a large shrimp in her bowl. The couple looked over, and Assistant Fang chimed in, "The seafood here is all air-freighted in daily, and it's all very fresh and sweet."

Ji Huaizhi took the shrimp from Zhu Xin's plate: "Sorry, she's allergic to shrimp."

Liao Jinhe paused for a moment, then regained her composure and said to the waiter, "Take away all the food with shells."

Liao Zhuxin waved her hand: "No need, I won't eat it. You all need to eat too, as long as I don't put these in my mouth."

"It's okay, I don't like shrimp either."

Assistant Fang was about to order some more dishes when he heard Ji Huaizhi say, "I'll do it."

Assistant Fang handed over the menu, and Ji Huaizhi ordered some of Zhu Xin's favorite dishes.

Liao Zhuxin's eyes sparkled: "Are you allergic to shrimp too?"

Liao Jinhe smiled faintly: "It's my mother who has an allergic reaction."

Liao Zhuxin sighed, "Actually, I didn't know I was allergic to shrimp before, because I had never eaten shrimp before. It was when I first got together with Huaizhi that he took me to eat seafood. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital."

Liao Jinhe felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Ji Huaizhi quickly changed the subject, but the original owner found it troublesome and had someone take her to the hospital; she didn't go herself at all.

Ji Huaizhi glanced at the person opposite him: "How is your mother's health now?"

It's no secret that Liao Jinhe's mother has been ill: "It's always the same, it's all emotional."

Liao Zhuxin comforted her, "Auntie will definitely get better soon. But I didn't expect that besides sharing the same surname as you, I also have a shrimp allergy like Auntie."

"Maybe you were sisters in your past life?" Ji Huaizhi said casually.

Liao Jinhe glanced at him, sensing that he seemed to know something.

However, it's normal for him to have doubts, since he has indeed been quite obvious.

Afterwards, Liao Jinhe watched them get into the car and made an appointment to have dinner at her home next time.

After everyone left, Liao Jinhe gave Assistant Fang a look, then got into her car and headed home.

Assistant Fang rushed upstairs, pressing the elevator buttons in quick succession.

I finally made it before the table was cleared away.

Use a sealed bag to put the cups, chopsticks and small bowls that Liao Zhuxin used.

~

Before the marriage, Liao Zhuxin always felt a little depressed, but she didn't know why.

Ji Huaizhi called it premarital anxiety.

They specifically sought out Wang Mengjiao, asking her to resign and accompany Liao Zhuxin, promising her a job at Panda Media or the Ji family in the future.

Wang Mengjiao immediately slid to her knees and said, "Making Madam happy is what this old servant should do."

After receiving the results, Liao Jinhe's vision blurred: "She really is my sister."

"Fang Heng, she really is my sister. Get the car ready to go to the Ji family. I'm going to tell her that I'm her older sister."

Liao Jinhe was a little emotional. The moment she saw her, she had a feeling that this was the telepathy between sisters.

Assistant Fang: "Miss, Young Master Ji just called and said he'd like to invite you for coffee."

Liao Jinhe was stunned.

When they arrived at the coffee shop, Ji Huaizhi was sitting by the window, and Liao Jinhe was wearing a square-neck dress.

She didn't seem as serious as before; instead, she appeared to have a gentle and reserved demeanor. She was dressed like this to go find Zhuxin.

Ji Huaizhi gestured for her to sit down: "I ordered you an Americano."

Liao Jinhe put down her handbag: "Young Master Ji, just tell me what you need me for. I have other things to do."

Ji Huaizhi didn't mind her attitude: "Looks like the results are in?"

Liao Jinhe looked up: "Do you know what I suspect?"

“Isn’t it obvious?” Ji Huaizhi spread his hands. “And judging from your expression, you should be very happy with the result, but I don’t think you should be honest with her now.”

Liao Jinhe frowned: "Why? She is the second young lady of my Liao family, and she should not be a kept woman by your side."

Thinking that their wedding date was approaching, she sat up straight and said, "Furthermore, from Sister Zhuxin's perspective, I want to make it clear that I will not agree to this marriage for the time being."

“Even if you two get married, she should marry into the Liao family.”

"Besides, she's still young, so I'd like to postpone the wedding a bit." Thinking about how good their relationship was, he continued, "Also, it's not that I'm against you getting married."

"I finally found her, and I hope she can be a little princess at home."

Ji Huaizhi looked up: "Have you asked her?"

“We’ve been through so much together, and this wedding was something we decided on a long time ago. Even when we were facing a breakup, she still wanted to marry me. Do you think she would be willing to postpone the wedding?”

Liao Jinhe looked displeased, but she felt that her sister shouldn't have done that.

“I understand how you feel. I’m happy for her because she has family, but I want you to understand…” Ji Huaizhi’s eyes sharpened.

“Even if she is not the eldest daughter of the Liao family, she will still be the second young mistress of the Ji family. Regardless of whether she has the Liao family as her backing, I will give her confidence.”

“When we got our marriage certificate, I had already decided to transfer 25% of the shares in Ji’s company under my name to her as her dowry.”

Liao Jinhe looked surprised, her pupils contracting.

"So she was never a caged canary, she was the most precious person in my heart."
