When Bai An's family was about to have dinner, Wanqing brought Lin Zhixia back after shopping.

Wanqing was delighted. She patted Lin Zhixia on the shoulder and said, "You are a natural clothes hanger. You look good in anything you wear."

Lin Zhixia nodded somewhat exhaustedly, "Thank you for your praise, Auntie. It's because the clothes you picked are beautiful."

Wanqing smiled with satisfaction, and seeing that the family was about to have dinner, she asked Lin Zhixia to come over and eat with everyone.

Lin Zhixia walked over and saw that there was no seat next to Bai An, so she chose the seat opposite Bai An and sat down.

Facing Bai An's gaze, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Jinan beside Bai An with provocation in his eyes.

Lu Jinan had a blank expression on his face, and he raised his fingers and turned the watch on his hand nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Lin Zhixia narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai An's wrist.

Seeing that there was nothing on those two wrists, there was a hint of hurt in his eyes.

During the entire meal, apart from the sounds of the two little girls, Bai An and Cui Ju, talking and laughing, the only other sounds were those of Lu Demin and Wan Qing talking.

...

...

Although Lu Jinan didn't say a word, the occasional smile on his lips revealed his inner happiness.

Lin Zhixia was the only one there. She kept her head down and ate the food in front of her without saying a word during the entire process.

Bai An noticed it, but she just thought it was Lin Zhixia's eating rule: don't talk while eating or sleeping.

After finishing his meal, Bai An planned to take a walk in the garden to digest his food, but he was stopped by Lin Zhixia halfway.

"Do you have time to chat?"

Bai An looked around in confusion, and when he saw that there was no one around, he pointed at himself and said, "Me?"

"Yes, is it okay?" Lin Zhixia's voice was a little low.

Bai An nodded, "Then tell me."

Lin Zhixia needed to hold Bai An's hand and walk to a secluded place nearby, "We'll talk later."

Bai An was dragged under a tree by Lin Zhixia. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked, "What's the matter that requires such a secluded place to talk about it?"

Lin Zhixia lowered her head, let go of Bai An's wrist, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the bracelet?"

At first Bai An didn’t hear clearly and exclaimed in confusion.

Lin Zhixia repeated, "The bracelet I gave you before you left."

At this moment, Bai An suddenly realized, "I returned the bracelet to Cui Ju. It is in my mother's custody."

"You gave it back to Cui Ju?" Lin Zhixia frowned, "I gave it to you, how did you give it to her?"

Bai An looked at Lin Zhixia's current appearance in confusion, "Don't you know the meaning of this bracelet? This is for your future wife."

"I know." Lin Zhixia looked directly into Bai An's eyes and said solemnly, "I know."

Bai An was a little confused at this time, "You know you still."

"I said I know." Lin Zhixia wanted to hold Bai An's hanging hand, but Bai An dodged her.

Lin Zhixia felt a little hurt, as this was the first time he confessed his feelings to someone he liked.

At this time, Bai An also understood what Lin Zhixia meant. She said very confidently: "Lin Zhixia, I understand what you mean, but what I want to say is that you will have a better candidate."

"But that better person wouldn't be me."

Lin Zhixia was a little excited at this time, "Why can't it be you."

Bai An's tone became more determined, "Because the person I like is not you, it's that simple."

"Do you really have to say it so bluntly?" Lin Zhixia ignored Bai An's struggle and held her hand tightly. "Do you think I'm confessing my feelings to you because of your current family situation?"

"Do you think I am what other people call a relationship climber?"

"Bai An, let me tell you." Lin Zhixia pulled Bai An closer to him and said word by word, "When I am capable of being worthy of you, you can reject me again."

Before Bai An could react, Lin Zhixia had already walked away.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment to her, Bai An found it a little ridiculous that Lin Zhixia had just left her here alone.

Originally, Bai An was somewhat moved by Lin Zhixia's confession, but Lin Zhixia's behavior at this time made Bai An feel that all his previous feelings were in vain.

Just as Bai An was venting his dissatisfaction with Lin Zhixia, Lin Zhixia came back.

Seeing Bai An's current demeanor, he jokingly said, "I'll take you back."

"You also know you have to send me back." Bai An ignored him angrily and walked forward.

But when they reached an intersection, Bai An was a little confused because she had only been in this house for a few days.

Lin Zhixia noticed Bai An's hesitation, so she walked in front of her, left her back to her, and led her out.

When Bai Anyi arrived at the familiar place, he no longer needed Lin Zhixia and ran back to his room.

Aster saw this scene at the door while eating an apple and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Zhixia did not answer, but just asked: "Where is the bracelet that Bai An gave you?"

Aster pointed to the room upstairs, "I put it away."

Lin Zhixia looked at Cuiju with an unpredictable expression. Seeing Cuiju was a little flustered, he said, "Since I put it here with you, you should keep it well."

Aster nodded.

After this incident, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Lin Zhixia was called to the study by Lu Deming. Two hours passed before Lin Zhixia came out of the study.

Cui Ju, who had been waiting at the door, asked quickly, "What are you guys talking about?"

Lin Zhixia smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

Hearing this answer, Cui Ju rolled her eyes at him. She knew he would say that. She had just been waiting for him outside worriedly.

Lin Zhixia rubbed Cui Ju's head indifferently and said, "Go to bed early."

"Do I need to tell you that?" Cui Ju slapped away Lin Zhixia's hand that was on her head.

Seeing Cui Ju's childish temper, Lin Zhixia smiled where Cui Ju couldn't see.

Cui Ju returned to the room and lay down on the bed angrily. Seeing Cui Ju like this, Bai An asked curiously what happened?

Cui Ju told the whole story.

As Bai An listened, he guessed his father's intention of calling Lin Zhixia.

Cui Ju had always felt that her father’s attitude towards Lin Zhixia was better than that towards others.

Now they brought Lin Zhixia back from her previous place so quickly, maybe there was something important.

Thinking about this, he comforted Cui Ju and told her not to think too much, "After all, your brother is often like this, it's not normal."

Cui Ju nodded in approval. Sometimes she also felt that her brother was not normal, and it turned out that Bai An could also see it.
