"Junior, is this true?" Jiang Ci's eyes reddened with sadness, and a hurt expression appeared on her youthful face as she stubbornly wanted a definite answer.
Yuan Jiang's dark eyebrows drooped, and a hint of annoyance flashed quickly in her eyes. He Li had been paying attention to Yuan Jiang's emotions. Seeing her impatient and angry appearance, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Yuan Jiang, don't misunderstand. I just wanted to help you out of this predicament."
"Look at all those people watching the show, why don't you just announce that you have a boyfriend? That way, no one will bother you anymore."
"Don't worry, I know we're not related."
Yuan Jiang raised her eyebrows and thought about it seriously. He Li's words made sense. More and more people were confessing their feelings to her lately. It would be better to make it public that she had a boyfriend, which would reduce unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, Yuan Jiang replied without changing her expression, "Yes, I have a boyfriend."
Jiang Ci's eyes dimmed, and the 99 roses she was holding fell to the ground. She hung her head dejectedly: "So that's how it is..."
"Can you move aside now?"
Jiang Ci bit her lip and moved to the side.
Yuan Jiang didn't glance at Jiang Ci and He Li once from beginning to end. She lifted her foot and left. He Li pursed his thin lips and hurriedly followed.
"Junior!" Jiang Ci suddenly turned around, pressed her tongue against her back teeth, and said firmly, "Then remember to tell me if you break up!"
Yuan Jiang's lips twitched slightly. She didn't answer, opened the car door, and sat down. Her pretty face was full of impatience. Just as she was about to tell the driver to start the car, the door was opened again, and the seat next to her sagged.
She looked at the gift with a blank expression: "Aren't you leaving?"
"Yuan Jiang, don't be so heartless. I just solved a problem for you." He Li's dark eyes smiled as he pointed to Jiang Ci, who was staring at them stubbornly with red eyes outside the car window.
Yuan Jiang frowned, and suddenly, she keenly felt a scorching and sinister gaze fall upon her.
Her gaze paused, and she turned to follow that line of sight, squinting her fox-like eyes as she surveyed the area, but she didn't see anyone suspicious.
Could it be...?
Is she overthinking it?
Yuan Jiang slowly withdrew her gaze.
“Didn’t you say you’d treat me to dinner last time? How about tonight? Let’s go to Yunting Waterside Pavilion. I’ve already made a reservation.” He Li spoke slowly, his gaze fixed intently on Yuan Jiang: “This is what you promised me.”
Yuan Jiang had a headache, closed her eyes and sighed, "Uncle Li, let's go to Yunting Waterside Pavilion."
Li Bo was the driver that Yuan Xiuyan arranged for her, and he was usually responsible for picking her up and dropping her off at school.
"Yes, miss." Upon hearing this, Uncle Li stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.
Just then, a tabby cat emerged from the corner, its eerie green eyes fixed on the car with its red taillights flashing. After a long while, its cold gaze fell on Jiang Ci, who was surrounded by the crowd and looked dejected. It smacked its tail on the ground in frustration, its eyes filled with hostility and anger.
Listening to her classmates' words of comfort, Jiang Ci forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. That man is obviously not good enough for my junior. I believe they will break up soon."
"I'll have a chance once my junior breaks up with her boyfriend."
"Jiang Ci..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Weirou's tears flowed again. She choked out Jiang Ci's name, and the moment Jiang Ci looked over, she covered her face and ran away.
Jiang Ci glanced coldly at Yuan Weirou, then sighed. Suddenly, his expression hardened, and he frowned as he looked around.
He wondered to himself, "Strange, why do I feel like I'm being watched by something?"
