"Ji Minxiu, where exactly did you find that lotus bowl?!" After leaving the auction house, Ji Weixing stopped Ji Minxiu at the car door.
He was unwilling to accept it!
Anyone can be number one, but not this little bastard.
Losing to an illegitimate child and coming in last place means he'll be a laughingstock in the industry for a long time to come!
Ji Minxiu didn't waste any words, and forcefully pulled his wrist away.
Caught off guard, Ji Weixing sat down on the ground.
Once inside the car, Ji Minxiu rolled down the window and said coldly, "No comment. Let's go."
"Alright, boss!" Assistant Lin shouted in response, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
"Ji Minxiu, you stop right there, ah!!!"
Ji Weixing wanted to chase after him, but he was sprayed in the face with exhaust fumes and broke down screaming on the spot.
"Hahaha, that was so satisfying! Boss, did you see their faces just now? They were as black as the bottom of a pot!"
At this moment, Assistant Lin laughed heartily, "This is so great! You're sure to be on the front page tomorrow, and the patriarch will definitely look at you with new respect."
Ji Minxiu's expression did not change much.
Even though he knew that his father had his reasons back then, he had ultimately failed his mother, so he didn't have much expectation for this fatherly love.
The reason for vying for the position of heir is simply to fulfill her mother's dying wish to bury her ashes in the Ji family ancestral cemetery, so that she, as an orphan, can have a complete family.
Leaning back in his chair and looking out the window, he couldn't help but think of Yun Zhourong's bright, sparkling eyes, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
What is that little girl doing now?
This time, we really owe it to her.
Xia Shiyan, who was standing next to him, actually smiled when she saw him, assuming that he was happy because of the charity auction.
She leaned closer and said softly, "Brother Ji, this was a great success. We haven't had lunch yet, how about we go celebrate?"
Ji Minxiu checked the time; it was indeed close to noon. He nodded and said, "Okay, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"I heard from a classmate that a new Michelin three-star restaurant recently opened. I'd like to try it, but it's a bit expensive."
Xia Shiyan said playfully, sticking out her tongue, "Brother Ji let me freeload, right?"
"Okay, let's go to that one then."
Xia Shiyan used to occasionally take him to explore shops, so Ji Minxiu didn't think much of it.
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but make a funny face.
She always comes to the boss for meals. Although the boss is indeed not short of money, he is really annoyed. This woman just pretends to be stupid and acts innocent. She has no boundaries.
Soon, the three arrived at the restaurant.
"Assistant Lin, what brings you here too?"
Seeing that Assistant Lin had also entered the private room, Xia Shiyan said with some dissatisfaction.
She wanted to spend some time alone with Ji Minxiu, so what was the point of having such a big third wheel?
“I asked him to come along. He’s been working hard these past few days for my sake, so this is a reward for him,” Ji Minxiu said.
"Miss Xia, I have a very good relationship with the boss," Assistant Lin said deliberately with a hint of boasting.
Xia Shiyan was furious, but seeing Ji Minxiu watching, she could only glare at Assistant Lin and let it go.
After all, she currently has neither an identity nor a position.
She thought bitterly to herself that once she became Brother Ji's wife, she would definitely fire this annoying assistant!
The three of them quickly sat down, and Ji Minxiu asked Xia Shiyan to order the food.
Xia Shiyan didn't stand on ceremony and ordered all the most expensive dishes, which made Assistant Lin roll his eyes.
Ji Minxiu didn't mind, and selected a few of his favorites before having the dishes served.
Throughout the meal, Xia Shiyan kept taking pictures and gesturing wildly, repeatedly flicking the sauce off her knife and fork.
Although it was a small amount, it still made Ji Minxiu frown.
However, he didn't say much, after all, Xia Shiyan's background was what it was, and she had a carefree personality, so she might not pay much attention to details.
Without realizing it, he thought of Yun Zhourong. If the person in front of him were that little girl, he would probably have enjoyed the meal much more.
Yun Zhourong gives people the feeling of being innocent and romantic, but also exudes gentleness and elegance, which is a kind of cultivation that comes from the core.
Hmm, the little girl should like Michelin-starred food.
So he called the waiter and asked him to prepare another takeout.
Upon seeing this, Xia Shiyan was overjoyed, thinking that Ji Minxiu had prepared it for her and felt that he was really thoughtful.
When I get back, I'll bring this to my classmate; it'll definitely win him over.
So she took out her phone and posted a picture of herself eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant on her WeChat Moments.
The picture placed in the very center shows Ji Minxiu's hand.
Caption: The romance of taste begins with sharing a delicious meal.
The post immediately attracted many comments.
Wow, it's a Michelin three-star restaurant! Miss Xia went out for another fancy meal?
[That's a man's hand, isn't it? Is Miss Xia officially announcing this?]
This is so romantic!
Looking at the comments, Xia Shiyan couldn't help but smile with delight.
In her classmates' eyes, she has always considered herself a rich heiress, and if she wants to maintain that image, she must hold onto Ji Minxiu tightly!
This was the best option she could access.
As for my own efforts?
She knows her own limitations very well.
No matter how hard you try, you can never compare to the little bit of wealth that slips through Ji Minxiu's fingers!
She also posted pictures in a small group chat with a few classmates she was close to.
He added, "[Michelin three-star restaurants, I'll bring some back for you to have for afternoon tea later.]"
Thank you, Miss! I'm so lucky to have such a delicious meal!
[The young lady is truly beautiful inside and out!]
I've never eaten at a Michelin three-star restaurant before; I've heard they're incredibly expensive.
I can't wait!
Immediately, the girls in the group replied, all praising her.
Xia Shiyan was secretly pleased, but she pretended to be calm and said, "It's alright, today's meal only cost a little over ten thousand, not expensive."
[My goodness, over ten thousand isn't expensive!]
I'm suddenly really looking forward to this afternoon tea!
The Life of a Young Lady: My Dream!
The girls in the group chat instantly went wild, with everyone expressing their envy.
Xia Shiyan was in a very good mood, and she couldn't hide her smile, her eyebrows dancing with joy.
Ji Minxiu was used to her actions and didn't say much.
Assistant Lin kept rolling his eyes and playing on his phone while eating; he was so rude.
After finishing her meal, Xia Shiyan suddenly said, "Brother Ji, it's almost autumn, and I want to buy some new clothes."
"Okay, then go buy it. Let me know if you run out of money," Ji Minxiu said calmly.
“But I want you to come with me,” Xia Shiyan said.
"Miss Xia, we agreed to celebrate with the boss, but you're both eating out and getting him to buy you things. Who's really celebrating with whom?"
Assistant Lin couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
