Ji Hanchen's villa is almost entirely open-plan, with the entrance hall facing the direction of the dining room, offering a panoramic view of everything.
Xu Qingyun was surprised that Ji Hanchen had specially arranged a candlelight dinner.
She was slightly troubled. The reason she accepted Ji Lun's pursuit was not only because of his persistence, but also because she hoped to use him to ward off other suitors.
She and Ji Lun haven't broken up yet, and Ji Hanchen's behavior is somewhat troubling her.
"You're here?" Ji Hanchen's thin lips curled into a faint smile as he forced back the word "Yunyun."
He hadn't missed the little girl's frown just now; she must have been troubled. He needed to slow down and not rush things.
Xu Qingyun, carrying her handbag, nodded slightly: "Mr. Ji, I apologize for disturbing you."
Ji Hanchen's smile vanished, his displeasure evident in his eyes: "When will you start calling me by my name?"
Xu Qingyun remained silent.
Ji Hanchen put down the lighter, walked towards Xu Qingyun, stopped in front of her, and looked down at her.
"Yunyun, you called my name before, do you remember?"
The man's voice was sexy and magnetic, and his dark eyes seemed to have been tempered by the candlelight, carrying a seductive heat.
Xu Qingyun subconsciously recognized the gazes, her pink lips slightly pursed, but fragmented ambiguous thoughts flashed through her mind.
In Ji Hanchen's room, she was pinned against the door by Ji Hanchen, who kissed her passionately.
At that moment, Xu Qingyun angrily called out his name: "Ji Hanchen, what exactly do you want?!"
Ji Hanchen gently pinched her chin, his voice low and husky: "Break up with me, come with me!"
And in that dream that night, Xu Qingyun murmured the name Ji Hanchen.
Thinking of these things, Xu Qingyun immediately felt her breath become much warmer.
"Yunyun, do you remember? Perhaps I can help you recall?"
The man's low laughter, mixed with his warm breath, brushed past her ear, making Xu Qingyun's earlobe tingle slightly. She couldn't help but pretend to tuck a stray hair behind her ear and casually pinch her tingling ear.
Then, Xu Qingyun raised her face and looked at Ji Hanchen with feigned composure: "If Mr. Ji continues to be so frivolous, I will take my leave."
Ji Hanchen suddenly grabbed her wrist and chuckled, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let's eat first."
Xu Qingyun twisted her wrist and broke free from Ji Hanchen's grip.
Ji Hanchen's palms were burning hot. Most importantly, she wasn't single, and it wasn't good to keep things entangled like this.
Ji Hanchen chuckled and led Xu Qingyun to the restaurant.
Xu Qingyun smoothed her cheongsam with both hands supporting her hips before slowly sitting down.
She had excellent posture, not crossing her legs, sitting upright, with her slender arms hanging naturally, and her hands folded on her lap.
Ji Hanchen's gaze swept over her unintentionally, and he felt that she had a graceful temperament and looked like a painting when she sat there.
He couldn't help but look at the bouquet of red roses, and somewhat regretted choosing them; perhaps white peonies would have been a better match for her.
Ji Hanchen poured red wine for the two of them and then sat down.
"These were all prepared on short notice, just to try my cooking." After all, he planned to prepare breakfast for his daughter after they got married.
Xu Qingyun nodded gently: "Mr. Ji, you've worked hard."
Ji Hanchen's brow twitched. That damned "Mr. Ji" sounded so grating!
“Yunyun, if you call me Mr. Ji again, I will call you Mrs. Ji.”
Xu Qingyun: "..."
“I don’t mind being Yunyun’s Mr. Ji, but you must mind me calling you Mrs. Ji, right?” Ji Hanchen said with a smile.
You should still pamper your future daughter-in-law, but sometimes you also need to teach her a lesson.
Xu Qingyun picked up the red wine and took a small sip, but she didn't actually drink it; she was just trying to cover up her embarrassment.
Suppressing the ripples in her heart, Xu Qingyun relented: "Ji Hanchen."
"Hmm?" Ji Hanchen's voice rose at the end, tinged with amusement, and he instantly felt the frustration that had been building up in his chest dissipate.
Ji Hanchen has already called him that, so how far away can "Hanchen," "Achen," or "Husband" be?
The last form of address made Ji Hanchen unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips; just thinking about it made his heart itch.
He couldn't help but glance at the girl opposite him; she looked aloof and stunning, yet she had easily stolen his heart.
Xu Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable under Ji Hanchen's gaze, and said calmly, "Ji Hanchen, let's eat."
"good."
Ji Hanchen nodded in agreement, then cut the steak on his plate into small pieces and handed them to Xu Qingyun.
"I can manage on my own." Xu Qingyun didn't answer; she was used to taking care of herself.
Ji Hanchen, however, said without giving a reason, "Taking care of girls is a man's most basic quality. Don't stop me from being a gentleman."
Xu Qingyun: "..."
Ji Hanchen is really something; he always has all sorts of excuses.
Xu Qingyun did not move. Being alone in a room with a man, and with the other party having designs on her, she had to be on guard.
Ji Hanchen raised an eyebrow: "Afraid I'll drug you?"
Xu Qingyun hummed in agreement.
Ji Hanchen was instantly amused and annoyed. He stood up, put his hands on his hips, and paced back and forth several times before finally saying, "Am I a lecher in your heart?"
Xu Qingyun thought, "Isn't he just a lecherous scoundrel?"
That day at the hotel, Ji Hanchen pounced on her, but pretended to get her his phone.
Ji Hanchen used his fork to pick up a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. "Are you relieved now?"
Xu Qingyun nodded and said calmly, "It's not that I'm being presumptuous, it's just that this kind of thing happens quite often abroad."
Ji Hanchen's brows furrowed in a cold light: "Has someone drugged you?"
Xu Qingyun nodded: "My classmate handed me a bottle of water, which had been laced with something. Ji Lun saved me."
Ji Hanchen felt a bit annoyed; he hadn't expected it to be Ji Lun.
