Ye Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief after ending the phone call with Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng asked Ye Zhiwei to accompany Jiang Jianian to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and Ye Zhiwei did not refuse.
not to mention.
Ye Zhiwei stuffed her phone into her pocket and sneaked from the balcony to a spot near the restaurant, peeking at Jiang Jianian through a wine rack.
Because today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Ye Group, a very formal occasion, Jiang Jianian cannot dress too simply. A white shirt, black suit, and black tie is a very proper way of dressing, which many people cannot pull off and would make them look too strict. Therefore, he adds some embellishments, such as brooches and watches, to neutralize the overly formal feeling.
But Jiang Jianian is good-looking, and he looks handsome in it.
The white shirt, black suit, and black tie were particularly flattering on him, making his already cool and aloof appearance even more handsome. The only color on his outfit was the black suit with slightly dark gold cufflinks. It was clearly the simplest style of clothing, but it looked good on him, exuding a restrained and ascetic charm.
So handsome!
How could Jiang Jianian be so handsome? If he didn't always like to tease her, torment her, and bully her, she would definitely love him even more.
Ye Zhiwei was still secretly admiring the scene when Ji Shuli, who had just come downstairs to eat at the restaurant, saw Ye Zhiwei acting suspiciously and stood behind her, also looking through the wine rack towards the restaurant. He could only see Jiang Jianian making coffee.
Perhaps because he was tired from a full day's schedule and had no chance to rest, Jiang Jianian made a rare decision to drink coffee in the morning. Although there was cream, milk and sugar cubes on the table, Jiang Jianian did not seem to add any. He just stirred it for a while and took a sip. His expression remained indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether the coffee was bitter or not.
What's so interesting about this? My little cousin is looking at it so intently.
"Looking so intently—what are you looking at? What's so interesting about Xiao Jiang drinking coffee?" Ji Shuli stroked his chin, unable to figure out what his little cousin was doing sneakily, but seeing Ye Zhiwei's furtive behavior, Ji Shuli couldn't help but lower his voice as well.
The sudden sound almost startled Ye Zhiwei. When Ye Zhiwei saw that it was Ji Shuli, she immediately made a quiet gesture.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing."
“Why are you so engrossed in watching?” Ji Shuli narrowed his eyes. “You’re peeking at Xiao Jiang, aren’t you? Why are you peeking at Xiao Jiang? Just tell him directly. Oh… I know, do you think Xiao Jiang’s suit is too formal? I told him before that a suit should be paired with a brighter tie so it doesn’t look so serious. Also, he dresses too plainly. He should add some pins or something to make him look more tasteful.”
Ye Zhiwei: ? ? ?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Zhiwei immediately corrected Ji Shuli. "What do you know? A black suit, white shirt, and black tie—that's the real deal. Jiang Jianian looks handsome like that. Can't you feel it? That sense of restraint emanating from within, that invisible aura. A handsome person doesn't need flashy suits. He looks handsome in this."
Ji Shuli: ...
"So you hid here to peek just to admire his good looks?" Ji Shuli asked incredulously. "What kind of strange ideas are these? Aren't you two dating? Why don't you just go over there openly?"
Ye Zhiwei gave Ji Shuli a deep look. "That won't do. If Jiang Jianian knew I was infatuated with his good looks, he would use them to commit crimes—"
Ji Shuli: ...
"And the most important thing," Ye Zhiwei snorted, "is that we've been arguing lately."
Ji Shuli was both amused and exasperated. "Xiao Jiang spoils you so much, how can you two still argue?"
That's because you've never seen him refuse it—
What do you want?
Ye Zhiwei coughed and said, "It's nothing. You wouldn't understand even if I told you, since you're just a single dog right now."
After she finished speaking, she composed herself and stopped secretly admiring Jiang Jianian's stunning good looks. Instead, she came out openly and showed no trace of her previous infatuation with her boyfriend. Instead, she sat down in front of Jiang Jianian with great arrogance and snorted, "Don't you have my coffee?"
Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Zhiwei and said, "I'm afraid it will be cold by the time you arrive, so please wait a while."
He was willing to appease Ye Zhiwei's temper.
After Ye Zhiwei went a little too far last time, she started looking for trouble. She had to coax Jiang Jianian over every little thing, but she was also worried that Jiang Jianian would not cooperate. One second she would look like she didn't want to talk to Jiang Jianian, but the next second she would secretly go to see what Jiang Jianian was doing.
The young couple has been playing this game for two days now, and this is the third day.
He ground the coffee beans again, but this time he added milk and sugar cubes, and finally added a thick layer of milk foam on top, which gave the already fragrant coffee a creamy sweetness.
Ye Zhiwei looked at the coffee that was served and then took a satisfied sip.
Ji Shuli was awestruck by what she saw.
Although she knew that Jiang Jianian really doted on Ye Zhiwei, she had witnessed Jiang Jianian's impatient demeanor several times before, including when he was dressed in a formal suit, he still seemed to have a bad temper. As a result, she actually indulged Ye Zhiwei's little temper.
It just doesn't look right.
Sure enough, it's more likely that Xiao Jiang will be bullied than his younger cousin.
Ye Zhiwei drank milk coffee made by Jiang Jianian and ate sandwiches that Jiang Jianian had laid out for her. Even the fruit at the end of breakfast was not prepared by the kitchen, but was personally washed by Jiang Jianian and handed to Ye Zhiwei one by one.
After finishing the last strawberry, Ye Zhiwei leisurely prepared to change into a dress and put on some makeup so she could attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Jiang Jianian.
As soon as Ye Zhiwei left, Ji Shuli nudged Jiang Jianian with his elbow, "You and your little cousin had a fight."
"No."
"Of course I know. My little cousin just said you two had a fight." Ji Shuli, as if he knew everything, leaned close to Jiang Jianian's ear and said, "My little cousin is the kind of person who takes advantage of you the more you spoil her. She's just deliberately throwing a tantrum. Don't think she's really angry. She just wants to cause trouble. She was even hiding on the wine rack peeking at you just now."
"Yes, I know."
"What do you know? Let me tell you, this little girl just loves to cause trouble. The more you spoil her, the more trouble she gets..." As she spoke, Ji Shuli sensed something was off and directly asked Jiang Jianian, "What did you just say you knew? That your little cousin was peeking at you from the wine rack?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Jiang Jianian retorted.
Ji Shuli fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "So what kind of argument is this?"
“I’ve already said, we didn’t argue.” Jiang Jianian straightened his suit cuffs, which were adorned with cufflinks, and said calmly, “It’s just a playful thing between lovers.”
His posture and tone were exactly the same as when Ye Zhiwei had just insulted him as a single dog.
