Mu Xiaocheng glanced at Ji Huaishen, assuming he was just acting and didn't know how to start a conversation.
She poked his arm with her index finger: "Let's go."
If she stayed any longer, her aunt's ambiguous gaze would soon overwhelm her.
She turned around again and waved goodbye to Zhou Ningyi: "Auntie, we're leaving now."
Zhou Ningyi waved her hand, pretending to be very impatient: "Let's go, let's go, I have to go find my girlfriends to play mahjong later."
Ji Huaishen stared at Mu Xiaocheng's delicate and beautiful face, and couldn't help but curl his lips. He glanced at her slender and pretty hand, and then nodded to Zhou Ningyi.
Although he behaved like a gentleman, his dark eyes held a distant and indifferent gaze.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Zhou Ningyi sighed.
She sat elegantly on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee.
Turning to Uncle Yuan beside her, she said, "I think Ji Huaishen likes our Xiaocheng. What do you think?"
Uncle Yuan looked up, glanced again in the direction the two had walked away side by side, and said with a smile, "It looks like it to me too."
"But our young lady has never been in a relationship before, and we don't know how she feels about Ji Huaishen..."
"We don't need to worry about that."
Zhou Ningyi stood up, her smile carrying a deeper meaning.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "As long as Ji Huaishen truly loves our Xiaocheng, someone like him will definitely win her over. Besides, since Xiaocheng is already married to him, she should have feelings for him too."
After listening to Zhou Ningyi's words, Uncle Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Madam is right."
A big shot like Ji Huaishen, if he truly likes Miss, he will definitely find a way to win her over.
Besides, this Mr. Ji is handsome, rich, and powerful; any woman would probably fall in love with him.

Mu Xiaocheng arrived at the mall in Ji Huaishen's car.
There were still quite a few people in the mall in the afternoon.
Mu Xiaocheng looked around and saw that many shops had Santa Claus signs posted inside and outside.
Some shops even have Christmas trees outside.
She suddenly realized and looked up at Ji Huaishen beside her: "Is today Christmas?"
She only remembered that today was Monday, but didn't know the exact date.
Ji Huaishen bent down slightly and said gently, "Today is the 24th."
24th?
Is this what everyone calls Christmas Eve?
Mu Xiaocheng nodded, then glanced at the small jewelry shop next door. There were some beautifully packaged apples in the window, which looked pretty good.
Ji Huaishen frowned as he noticed her gaze constantly shifting elsewhere.
Just then, several elderly men and women hurried towards them, looking very anxious, muttering, "The supermarket has discounted rice, we have to hurry, or it will be gone."
Afraid that the dazed little one beside him would get bumped, Ji Huaishen quickly grabbed Mu Xiaocheng's hand and pulled her closer to him.
Mu Xiaocheng looked at Ji Huaishen in surprise. Before she could speak, she heard an older woman say, "Oh, the young couple has such a good relationship."
The middle-aged women next to her also looked at Ji Huaishen and Mu Xiaocheng without prior arrangement.
Nodding in agreement, "The two make a good couple."
The two young people are good-looking and have a good relationship; look at how they're holding hands.
The group walked away with smiles on their faces, heading briskly to the supermarket on the second floor.
Mu Xiaocheng was completely bewildered.
Ji Huaishen held her soft, boneless hand, his eyes and brows full of smiles.
"Did I bump into you just now?"
He smiled and asked that question on purpose.
