He hadn't seen the woman's face clearly, but he had heard her voice.
Although it was only a few words, the voice sounded very much like Wen Yan's.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jingxiu immediately sent a message to Wen Yan to ask where she was.
Wen Yan replied almost instantly.
She said she was having dinner with friends outside.
Shen Jingxiu then asked her where she was now.
Wen Yan sent her location directly.
Shen Jingxiu looked and, sure enough, she was in the restaurant.
Now he was certain that the person he had just seen was indeed Wen Yan.
Just as I was about to reply that I was also eating here, Ji Yuanzhou returned.
His sister came in with him this time.
"Jingxiu, it's been a long time. The last time we met was probably last year. You've gotten more and more handsome."
"Sister Yuanxin." Shen Jingxiu stood up and greeted Ji Yuanzhou's sister.
Then the group sat down and exchanged a few words.
Ji Yuanzhou's sister didn't leave until the waiter came in to serve the food.
As soon as she left, Ji Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing you were here today, otherwise she would have been setting me up on blind dates all by herself."
Shen Jingxiu was speechless at his behavior: "So you invited me here to eat to use me as a scapegoat, you surnamed Ji, I'll remember you."
Ji Yuanzhou chuckled: "What are you saying? You're planning to forget about your good brother just because she doesn't introduce you to blind dates? That's a bit too heartless of you. Have you forgotten who was there to rebel and fight with you when you were little? I even had my nose broken protecting you back then."
Shen Jingxiu raised an eyebrow: "I was the one who took the stick for you first."
"Now you're going to hold grudges against me for these things? Well, we'll be settling our scores all night long."
"If you can't finish calculating, then don't bother."
Just then, the sound of a waiter speaking on a walkie-talkie could be heard coming from the corridor.
"The customer has informed us that the 999 roses from Yunlan Residence can be delivered. Be careful not to get them wet in the rain. Don't ruin the surprise the customer prepared for his girlfriend."
Yunlan Residence, girlfriend? Upon hearing these two keywords, Shen Jingxiu immediately stopped eating.
When did Wen Yan get a boyfriend?
Does her saying she's having dinner with friends mean she's on a date with her boyfriend?
Didn't she say that she only wants to focus on her career and has no interest in dating?
"Young people these days are quite romantic." Ji Yuanzhou, who was sitting opposite Shen Jingxiu, also heard the waiter's words. He looked out the window and saw someone pushing a huge bouquet of flowers across the street.
Shen Jingxiu also saw it.
Ji Yuanzhou continued, "I'm a little envious."
Shen Jingxiu frowned: "What are you envious of? Do you also want 999 roses?"
"...Are you being sarcastic? I envy people who have partners who give them 999 roses. Neither you nor I have that."
"If you want it, how could you not have it?"
"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. I would never choose a business marriage. If I don't meet someone who moves my heart, I would rather bury all my romance."
"Um."
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly become so down?"
Shen Jingxiu denied it: "I didn't."
-
Yunlan Residence.
Wen Yan and Gu Xiran had almost finished eating.
The moment the waiter pushed the door open, Wen Yan's expression changed upon seeing the flowers.
It's such a big bouquet of flowers, it looks beautiful, but it seems unnecessary.
"This..." Wen Yan looked at Gu Xiran, "Is it intended to be given to me?"
"Yes." Gu Xiran looked directly at Wen Yan, her peach blossom eyes filled with affection.
Suddenly, he took out a fluffy rabbit doll from behind his back, walked to Wen Yan's side, and knelt down on one knee.
A diamond necklace was placed around the neck of the plush rabbit beforehand, and the necklace sparkled with tiny glitters under the light.
"Wen Yan, I like you. Can you give me a chance to try dating?"
Wen Yan almost choked on her breath.
The moment she saw Gu Xiran kneel down on one knee, her tendency to feel embarrassed for others immediately kicked in.
She thought Gu Xiran was going to propose to her!
Fortunately, that wasn't the case.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Get up first, then we can talk. I'm not used to you looking at me so closely."
Gu Xiran has a rich romantic history, and after hearing Wen Yan say this, he roughly understood the situation.
He remained kneeling on the ground, saying, "So you're planning to reject me? You really won't even give me a chance? It's just a trial, and if it doesn't work out, we'll break up immediately."
Wen Yan shook her head: "Since you're being so direct, then I won't beat around the bush either. There's no need to try. We're not compatible. You're not my type."
Gu Xiran frowned: "So what type do you like?"
"Hmm... I don't have a specific range yet, but I know what kind I don't like."
"I would like to hear the details."
"First of all, I definitely don't like people who frequently change partners, like you."
Gu Xiran frowned even more: "I have taken every relationship seriously and I have never cheated on anyone."
Wen Yan nodded: "I have indeed heard about that. But even so, it's still a negative point for me."
Gu Xiran clearly didn't want to be rejected by Wen Yan so easily.
"What if I could guarantee that I would be faithful to you forever?"
"…………" Wen Yan's expression was indescribable.
"Oh? Can you? I hope you're 100% sure before answering this question, instead of being controlled by some rebellious or defiant mentality, okay?"
