Xu Qingyun pursed her lips. It turned out she had misunderstood Ji Hanchen. "Thank you, Mr. Ji."
Ji Hanchen sighed softly, "Yunyun, if you really want to thank me, then don't call me Mr. Ji anymore, okay?"
"Okay." Xu Qingyun nodded. "It's getting late, I'm used to going to bed early."
This is tantamount to telling them to leave.
Ji Hanchen felt a tightness in his chest. He hadn't even finished his noodles, and the little girl was already in a hurry to send him away. How heartless of her.
"I'm not full yet, wait a moment, I'll be right away," Ji Hanchen said in a deep, magnetic voice.
He never imagined that he, the president of the Ji Group, who manages a conglomerate with a market value of hundreds of billions, would resort to scheming and underhanded tactics just to spend a little more time with the girl he likes.
Ji Hanchen dawdled and slowly picked at the noodles, even scooping up the noodle soup spoonful by spoonful and bringing it to his mouth.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was drinking cream of mushroom soup in a Western restaurant.
Xu Qingyun took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in her chest.
She didn't dislike Ji Hanchen; it's just that they were two people who weren't familiar with each other, and Ji Hanchen's every move was ambiguous, which she wasn't comfortable with.
"Ji Hanchen, have you finished eating? It sounds like it's thundering outside."
Ji Hanchen hummed in agreement, his dark eyes gazing out the window.
Why hasn't the downpour started yet?
Boom!
After a clap of thunder, the heavy rain pounded against the glass.
The rain came suddenly, and when it hit the glass, it gathered into a stream that kept flowing down. The strong wind also made the windows rattle loudly.
Ji Hanchen sighed, "Yunyun, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you a little longer tonight."
Xu Qingyun felt a lump in her throat.
What else could she say?
With a fierce storm raging outside, could she possibly kick Ji Hanchen out?
Xu Qingyun glanced at the weather forecast; the heavy rain wouldn't stop until tomorrow morning.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
After a moment, Xu Qingyun said softly, "Ji Hanchen, let's talk."
"Okay, wait until I've finished washing the dishes."
Ji Hanchen went to the kitchen, washed the dishes, and then sat down on the sofa, looking directly into her bright eyes.
Xu Qingyun cut to the chase, "Ji Hanchen, I don't like you. Don't waste your time on me."
Ji Hanchen chuckled, "Yunyun, you're overthinking it. I'm only nice to you because of your grandfather."
Xu Qingyun was taken aback. "My grandfather?"
Ji Hanchen nodded. "My father and your grandfather were close friends. Before your grandfather passed away, he entrusted you to my father, intending... cough cough, intending for me to marry you."
Since it was a lie, Ji Hanchen couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Xu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. Her grandfather actually wanted Ji Hanchen to marry her?
"Ji Hanchen, don't take it seriously," Xu Qingyun said immediately.
Ji Hanchen felt a little uncomfortable. Look how anxious she was. Did this girl really hate him that much?
"Yunyun, I didn't take it seriously, but for your grandfather's sake, I'll still be good to you, understand?"
“…Hmm.” Xu Qingyun was half-believing, half-doubting. If only it were true.
However, Ji Hanchen clearly told her, who was disguised as Songzhu, that he wanted to pursue her.
The two remained silent, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Time passed by, and the torrential rain continued, showing no signs of abating until after 10 p.m.
Xu Qingyun was a little sleepy, so she covered her mouth and gave an elegant yawn. It seemed that Ji Hanchen wouldn't be able to leave tonight.
"Ji Hanchen, the sheets in the second bedroom are all new. If you don't mind, you can stay the night."
Ji Hanchen's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded slightly, "Then I'll take my leave. I'll go take a shower first."
"good."
Xu Qingyun nodded and sighed softly.
Aside from her cousin, she had never been in a room with an adult man before, so this was quite awkward.
Half an hour later.
"Yunyun, could you get me some clean clothes?"
“…Okay.” Xu Qingyun stood up and picked up the men’s loungewear.
Her gaze fell on the men's underwear, and the girl's delicate cheeks suddenly flushed red, her breath becoming much hotter.
Ji Hanchen...do you need to change your underwear?
"Underwear too." A slightly hoarse male voice came from the bathroom.
Xu Qingyun's breath hitched. She quickly grabbed her underwear, placed it on her pajamas, walked to the bathroom door, and turned her face away.
"Ji Hanchen, all done."
Hearing the girl's delicate voice, Ji Hanchen's ears turned red, but his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
His Yunyun is shy, so cute.
Thank you.
After thanking him, Ji Hanchen took the clothes and closed the door again.
Xu Qingyun finally let out a slow breath and walked to the window to cool off the heat on her face.
"I'm done washing, Yunyun, you can wash now." Ji Hanchen came out carrying the wet clothes, then asked, "Can I hang them on the balcony to dry?"
Xu Qingyun nodded, took her change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom was hot and stuffy, making it hard to breathe.
Besides the heat, there was also the lingering scent of Ji Hanchen.
The feeling of male hormones, which she couldn't smell but could sense, made Xu Qingyun's heart race.
Wiping the condensation off the mirror, Xu Qingyun looked at her flushed face, unable to shake off the heat.
Why do she and Ji Hanchen look a bit like a newlywed couple?
Shaking her head to shake off the inexplicable thoughts, Xu Qingyun unbuttoned her cheongsam and took off her clothes.
Meanwhile, Ji Hanchen on the balcony was smiling, his mood more joyful than ever before.
He had never felt so cheerful during a downpour.
**
Xu Qingyun quickly took a shower and hurried out of the bathroom, where she immediately met the man under the light.
Ji Hanchen was wearing gray loungewear, the soft, close-fitting fabric wrapping around his lean body, the V-neck making his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone even more alluring.
