"I...I just wanted to buy something for Brother Ji to celebrate," Xia Shiyan said through gritted teeth.
"Your money all comes from the boss. It's like the boss buys things for himself and owes you a favor. You're really good at calculating!" Assistant Lin relentlessly pressed him on.
"Brother Ji, no, I just wanted to spend more time with you, to get to know you better, so I could repay you," Xia Shiyan said, her eyes reddening.
"Xiaoyan, I'm sponsoring you because of the life-saving favor. You don't need to repay me. The most important thing is for you to make plans for yourself," Ji Minxiu said very seriously.
Xia Shiyan's heart sank after hearing this, knowing that Ji Minxiu truly had no other feelings for her.
But she didn't give up. Instead, she pretended to be innocent and said, "Yes, I know. I will study hard and then come to your side to help you."
Although Ji Minxiu has no feelings for her now, there are no other girls around him. She is the only one, and the most special one.
I believe that as long as I work hard enough, I will definitely be able to impress Ji Minxiu.
"Heh, the Ji Group isn't so easy to get into, at least not with your current abilities," Assistant Lin said bluntly.
"You!" Xia Shiyan's heart pounded with anger.
"Alright, let's go now that you're full." Ji Minxiu stood up and walked outside.
I can't understand why the two people closest to him are so incompatible, always bickering whenever they meet.
After dropping Xia Shiyan off at her apartment building, she looked at Ji Minxiu with a shy yet expectant expression.
However, Ji Minxiu remained seated in the car without moving. Seeing that she wasn't getting out, he asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"
"I…"
Xia Shiyan was taken aback by the question, thinking that Ji Minxiu had forgotten, but she didn't want to say it outright, so she just turned her head to look at the takeout box.
"What's wrong? Is it leaking?" Upon seeing this, Ji Minxiu quickly checked.
"No, no, I just had a leg cramp." This reaction made Xia Shiyan realize that the item wasn't meant for her.
She was instantly ashamed of her presumptuousness, but when she thought of the boast she had made to her girlfriends, she felt terrible. What was she going to say later?
"Okay, then be careful," Ji Minxiu said calmly.
"good."
Xia Shiyan really wanted to ask Ji Minxiu who that portion was for, but she held back in the end.
However, I feel very irritable.
Ji Minxiu just ordered several desserts, which are obviously for girls.
Watching the car drive away, Xia Shiyan's innocent expression turned gloomy. "Who exactly is that woman?!"
"Shiyan!"
Just then, a few girls from the group ran over and said happily, "We didn't want to trouble you to make the trip again, so we came ahead of time. Where are the Michelin-starred restaurants?"
Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Xia Shiyan awkwardly tried to figure out how to make a three-bedroom apartment.
Finally, he could only manage a forced laugh and say, "I'm sorry, the shop is temporarily closed due to some business. I forgot to tell you, I didn't expect you to come in person."
"Ah...this..." Upon hearing this, the group of girls all showed expressions of disappointment.
"How about this, you guys pick a restaurant, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight," Xia Shiyan quickly said.
"Great! Miss, you're so generous! Let's go eat seafood!"
One of the girls said, "I've always wanted to go. It's only a thousand yuan per person. Shiyan, what do you think?"
Xia Shiyan's lips twitched, but she still nodded reluctantly, "Hehe, sure, sure."
Ji Minxiu gives her 10,000 yuan every month, which was more than enough, but now she has spent several thousand yuan at once, which really hurts her.
She requested the 10,000 yuan herself, in order to maintain a frugal image in front of Ji Minxiu; she never gave him more than that.
In reality, she was spending money more and more extravagantly, not only living paycheck to paycheck but also maxing out many credit cards.
She should have asked for more. Ji Minxiu originally planned to give her 100,000 yuan a month, but at that time she was narrow-minded and thought 10,000 yuan was a lot.
Who knew that it wouldn't be enough now?
It seems she needs to find an opportunity to bring up the matter of increasing her living expenses with Ji Minxiu.
"Boss, aren't you being too lenient with Miss Xia?"
On the way back, Assistant Lin couldn't help but mutter to himself, "She spent over ten thousand yuan on one meal by herself. Is she treating you like an ATM?"
"Assistant Lin, it's just a meal, when did you become so stingy?" Ji Minxiu said with amusement.
"It's not much, but it depends on who it's for." Assistant Lin still felt the pinch.
"After all, she is my savior, and money is the last thing I lack."
Ji Minxiu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, unable to understand where his many complaints about Xia Shiyan came from.
Assistant Lin wanted to say that Xia Shiyan's behavior was ungrateful, greedy, and impure.
But in the end, she chose to keep quiet. After all, Xia Shiyan did put on a good act in front of Ji Minxiu, and she asked for the money indirectly. Ji Minxiu didn't pay much attention to these details, so it was hard for him to see the problem.
Uh, I wonder who this girl the boss likes is. I hope she's someone capable, otherwise I'm afraid he can't outmaneuver Xia Shiyan, that green tea bitch.
Meanwhile, on Yun Zhourong's side, after traveling all morning, the constables finally called a halt and told everyone to rest on the spot.
Zhao quickly started a fire to boil water.
After walking for a long time in the freezing cold, a cup of hot water can make you feel much better!
Yun Zhourong then took out eggs and started boiling them.
Then he took out the five rose-shaped cakes, but they were all frozen solid.
