But she was busy right now and couldn't worry about that. "Aunt Nangong asked me to find Zixin for dinner because she's worried she might not eat on time if she's busy. But I have a lot of things to do. I thought you and she are quite familiar with each other. I wonder if you have a convenient time to have dinner with her?"
Ji Yunfeng smiled and said, "You're still as helpful as ever, and you're becoming more and more humane."
Shen Shiyi chuckled, "Hey, isn't this different from before?"
She used to be all alone and suffered so much, she had long since become numb.
Fearing that continuing to talk would remind her of too many painful memories, Ji Yunfeng quickly agreed.
"Okay, I'll go find her for dinner and make sure I complete the task the princess assigned me."
Shen Shiyi smiled and said, "Thank you."
Ji Yunfeng gave a bitter smile. "Between you and me, there's no need for thanks."
Shen Shiyi didn't say much, just said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Seeing the phone call end, Ji Yunfeng remained in a daze for a long time until his assistant came in, at which point he finally snapped out of it.
"President, what's wrong?"
"It's alright. You can handle the rest of the documents for me. I have to go out for a bit."
The assistant nodded. The two were about the same height, but Ji Yunfeng had a better temperament.
In the busy flower shop, Nangong Zixin caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
The man, wearing a black overcoat, looked even more elegant with his height of over 1.8 meters.
Nangong Zixin put down the roses she was holding and went outside. "Why are you here?"
This must be his first time here.
Ji Yunfeng smiled gently, "Won't you let me in for a look?"
Nangong Zixin was taken aback. "Then come in."
Seeing the arrangement of the flowers in the shop, Ji Yunfeng nodded, "It's pretty good, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it."
Nangong Zixin smiled brightly, "Of course, my aesthetic sense is top-notch. Besides, this is the first step in my business, so of course I have to put in extra effort."
Seeing the woman's confident and bright smile, Ji Yunfeng was stunned.
"It's lunchtime, I'll treat you to lunch."
As longtime friends, Nangong Zixin didn't stand on ceremony with him.
“Okay, it’s rare for the CEO to treat me to dinner, so I have to order the most expensive dishes.”
Ji Yunfeng smiled helplessly, "Do as you please, whatever makes you happy."
The shop assistants exchanged gossipy glances after overhearing the interaction between the two. Only after they left did they dare to gossip freely.
"That man is so handsome."
"Didn't the boss say he was the president?"
"I have to say, he really does have that CEO vibe from novels."
"Don't you think his tone was very indulgent just now?"
"Wow, our boss has found love again."
The two were completely unaware that they were being gossiped about, and had already arrived at a Chinese restaurant.
Nangong Zixin ordered a table full of delicious dishes without any hesitation, leaving Ji Yunfeng speechless.
Did you eat late?
Nangong Zixin didn't mind. "What's the big deal if we can't finish it? We can pack it up later and let the ladies in my shop try the dishes from this famous restaurant."
Seeing that she had a plan, Ji Yunfeng didn't say anything more.
Soon the dishes were served, and Nangong Zixin ate with great delight, which also whetted Ji Yunfeng's appetite, causing him to eat an extra bowl of rice.
Nangong Zixin supported her pregnant belly, leaned back in her chair, and stroked her round belly with one hand.
"I'm too full."
Ji Yunfeng rarely joked, "With such a big appetite, how will your future husband afford to support you?"
Nangong Zixin pouted, "If you can't afford to support me, I won't get married. I'll take care of myself."
Ji Yunfeng shook his head and chuckled, "How could I not get married? My aunt must be worried."
Like his mother, he was extremely anxious.
Nangong Zixin waved her hand, "Marriage isn't everything. If it turns out like Shiyi's past, it's better not to get married at all."
Ji Yunfeng's expression changed immediately, and Nangong Zixin belatedly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Um, I didn't mean to."
Ji Yunfeng concealed the emotions in his eyes and asked gently, "Are you still capable?"
Nangong Zixin chuckled, "Why not? It's not like you're pregnant."
Thinking of the twins Shi Yi had conceived before, Nangong Zixin shuddered.
Ji Yunfeng didn't miss her unusual behavior and understood why she was trembling; it was probably because Shi Yi's pregnancy had frightened her.
He silently mourned for Aunt Nangong in his heart.
Ji Yunfeng gentlemanly escorted the person back, and finally returned to the company.
After having lunch at Dongxin's place, Shen Shiyi took a half-hour nap and then continued looking at design styles.
She carefully read through each page, eventually selecting a few, annotating the rest, and then called her assistant.
"President, you wanted to see me."
"Okay, give these to the design department and let them take a good look at my annotations. As for these, give them to the factory, and let me see how each set turns out."
Lin Yezhi nodded, "Okay."
He then turned and left, thoughtfully closing the office door behind him.
In the afternoon, Shen Shiyi received a call from a former comrade-in-arms.
"Boss, how have you been lately?"
Shen Shiyi recognized Ye Yingjian's voice: "Yingjian, it's been a long time since I've seen you all."
Ye Yingjian chuckled, "It's great that the boss still remembers us. By the way, we're going on vacation soon."
"Really? Congratulations."
"Boss, let's come to the school to find you."
Shen Shi recalled that they didn't know she had been discharged from the military. "I've been discharged and I'm not in school anymore. If you want to find me, you'll have to come to the Leng Group."
When the three of them stood downstairs at the Leng Group building, they looked up and exchanged bewildered glances.
Sun Zhiling swallowed hard. "Yingjian, are you sure this is the place?"
Ye Yingjian looked at the location posted by the boss and said, "That's right, the map looks like this."
Xia Yiran looked at the two of them from the left and right, and finally took out her phone.
