Ji Yunyang arrived at 10:00 AM sharp to pick up Cheng Zhili. This time was neither too early, so that Zhili would be too rushed to prepare, nor too late, so that people would have to wait too long.

"Yunyang's here." Yu Peiyan looked at him with a smile. "Wait a moment, I'll call Zhili downstairs."

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

Inside the room, Zhili was indeed ready, but she hadn't put on makeup as Yu Peiyan had expected. However, looking at her delicate face, Yu Peiyan thought for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's how it should be. We can't let them think that just because the Ji family has a better background, we should treat them with the same respect. You're a girl, so it's better for you to be more reserved."

Cheng Zhili's eyelids twitched. She hadn't really thought that much about it. She was mainly thinking about meeting Wenwen and having dinner with Aunt Song later. Neither Aunt Song nor Wenwen liked to wear makeup, so she wouldn't either.

"Mom, I'll go now."

"Okay, Mom has canceled all your classes for today. You two can play a little longer before coming back."

"good."

She plans to leave right after the movie; Ji Yunyang shouldn't complain, right?

Ji Yunyang was only seventeen, unlike Cheng Zhibo who already had a driver's license, so the Ji family's driver took them there.

"Shall we go to the mall to see a movie first?"

“Okay.” Cheng Zhili had already messaged Wenwen, who said she would come to find her later.

"Does the engagement make you uncomfortable?"

Cheng Zhili looked out the window, her expression indifferent: "I think you should know better than me that a family like ours has long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing."

Hearing her answer, Ji Yunyang felt a little disappointed, but he couldn't say that Cheng Zhili's answer was wrong.

"After the cooperation between the two companies ends, if you have any opinions about me, you can suggest ending it. Of course, before that, I hope we can get to know each other better, at least be good friends first, okay?"

Seeing that he had already shown such an attitude, Cheng Zhili couldn't show a cold face, so she smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Brother Yunyang."

"Is there any movie you'd like to watch?"

"Spider-Man, I guess." Actually, Cheng Zhili had never seen this kind of movie before. In fact, she rarely had time to watch movies; she only heard about it from Wenwen.

Ji Yunyang's eyes lit up with surprise: "I like this too, then I'll book the tickets."

"Um."

However, when they arrived at the movie theater, Wenwen spotted them before they even went inside.

"Zhili!" she called out, running over excitedly and hugging Zhili tightly. "It's been so long!"

Cheng Zhili was also pleasantly surprised: "Yes, it's been a long time."

Ji Yunyang raised an eyebrow. He noticed that Cheng Zhili was different at this moment, as if she were more vibrant. Was this Zhili's good friend?

"Hello, my name is Ji Yunyang."

"Oh." Interrupted by the sudden male voice, Wenwen reluctantly responded, then looked at him with a critical gaze, "You're Zhili's fiancé?"

Ji Yunyang smiled slightly: "Has Zhili mentioned me to you?"

“No.” Wenwen’s straightforward words made his smile freeze. “I saw it on TV.”

"Since you're Zhili's good friend, why didn't you attend our engagement party?"

“I’m still too young. If I tell my family that I went to my friend’s engagement party, they won’t believe me.”

Seeing Wenwen say this on purpose, Zhili was both amused and exasperated.

"Wenwen..." she couldn't help but tug at her helplessly.

"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, then don't." Wenwen was indeed a little angry. No matter what, Zhili should have told her before the engagement!

Ji Yunyang found it somewhat amusing. Zhili's friend was like a child who hadn't grown up, with a rather fiery temper. He really didn't know how the two of them had become friends.

Although her words were harsh, they weren't wrong. He was only seventeen, and Zhili was only fifteen. To outsiders, their engagement age was a bit young.

Are you here to see Spider-Man too?

Wenwen still didn't give her a friendly look: "What, you're allowed to come and see, but I can't?"

Cheng Zhili smiled helplessly: "Wenwen, which show did you book?"

"What about the 11 o'clock show?"

Zhili looked at Ji Yunyang, who thought to himself, "What a coincidence: I also booked this game."

"So, which row and which seat are you in?"

"Three rows of seven and eight seats."

“I have seat number seven in row four.” Wenwen frowned, then looked at Ji Yunyang, “Zhili and I will sit here, so you can have the good seats in row four.”

Fourth-row seats are often more sought after than third-row seats, and now Ji Yunyang is certain that this girl named Wenwen didn't come to cause trouble on purpose.

However, it's rare to see someone so direct in asking to switch seats, so unpretentious. Yet, he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would seem ungentlemanly and petty with a little girl.

What Ji Yunyang didn't know was that Wenwen hadn't just booked tickets for this particular movie time; she was waiting to see when they would arrive! If the time they had just mentioned wasn't right, she would immediately suggest changing the showtime. After all, she was known for her straightforward and tactless nature.

So Wenwen went in arm in arm with Zhili, while Ji Yunyang sat alone in the fourth row.

Ji Yunyang sneered. Did he think he was afraid of what Ji Yunyang might do? Although he was young, if he really did something, he would be worse than a beast.

At least I liked the movie, so I watched it attentively.

Wenwen is a long-time fan and watched it very attentively. Only Zhili was watching it for the first time, but she quickly got into the story, and all three of them were still a little reluctant to leave until the end.

Wenwen kept chattering away with Zhili, and Ji Yunyang listened and nodded from time to time. He didn't expect that this girl had many of the same views as him.

He checked the time: "Zhili, I've made a reservation at a restaurant. Shall we go eat? Your friend can come along too."

Seeing that he said that, the two of them didn't want to shake him off at this moment, so Wenwen shamelessly nodded: "Where did you book?"

"I had someone recommend Song Ji to me, saying the food was good, but it's a pity we couldn't get a private room."

Wenwen and Zhili's expressions instantly changed, and he asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

Zhili explained, "This is a restaurant owned by Wenwen's family."

Ji Yunyang was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected it to be the restaurant owned by this young girl's family. He had heard that Song Ji had opened many branches, even in other provinces. No matter how rich or powerful you were, you had to queue if you wanted to eat there; there was no such thing as cutting in line.

Before coming, he had heard about the food and the taste of it. They said that they were willing to wait, which was really rare. It was rare to find a restaurant that could make a group of young masters wait. They also mentioned that if they were lucky, they could even eat the owner's secret dishes.

He smiled slightly and asked, "Am I lucky enough to eat the hidden dish today?"

Wenwen frowned in disgust: "What are you thinking? Why would my mom cook for you?"

He hadn't expected that it was made by her mother herself. Upon hearing this, Ji Yunyang felt that he had been somewhat impolite: "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
