Chapter 21: Road Blockage
Ji Minghuan did not answer, but looked at Nie Yao in front of him quietly in the moonlight.
She had changed out of her stunning dress and crystal shoes, now dressed simply with her hair tied up. However, under the moonlight, she still exuded an indescribable charm...
He originally looked down on her since she had just been found by the Nie family, but tonight he discovered that she was more dazzling than those carefully dressed young ladies at the banquet!
Ji Minghuan couldn't help but take a step forward, looked at the bag in her hand, and whispered, "Where are you going?"
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!" Nie Yao responded coldly, and said bluntly: "Please move aside and don't block the road!"
"Ayao, are you still angry about what I said before?" Ji Minghuan saw that she seemed to be very repulsed by him, so he could only smile helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let others influence you and call you a wild girl. I apologize for what I said before!"
Nie Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him and tried to walk around him, but he grabbed her wrist.
"What do you want to do?" Nie Yao raised her head impatiently and looked at him coldly.
"Ayao, I just saw you dancing with Li Jinxing..." Ji Minghuan held her wrist tightly and whispered, "Your first dance should be with me, because you are my nominal fiancée!"
Nie Yao looked at him coldly as he said the word "fiancée" so openly, and suddenly laughed.
"Nominal fiancée, I'm sorry, how could I not know?" After she said this, she shook off his hand resolutely.
Ji Minghuan looked at the mocking smile on her face, frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Did your father and Mr. Nie not tell you about this? Our two families made an agreement on marriage a long time ago..."
Before he could finish, Nie Yao interrupted him rudely.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in a marriage alliance. I'm not the only one in the Nie family. If you want a marriage alliance, find someone else!"
Ji Minghuan's expression froze at her cold tone, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. This was the first time he was treated so rudely by a woman!
Because of his good family background and good looks, everyone is chasing after him. Even Nie Jinxi and Lin Anqi have been trying to please him. But Nie Yao, who just came back, doesn't treat him well!
He suppressed his anger and said to Nie Yao with a smile, "Ayao, what are you talking about? You are the eldest granddaughter of the Nie family, and I am the only son of the Ji family. This is the marriage we agreed upon. I know you just came back and you may not have accepted it yet..."
Nie Yao made a "stop" gesture and said to Ji Minghuan in a calm tone, "Yes, how can I, a wild girl who was just adopted, get close to your Ji family's eldest young master?"
She deliberately emphasized the three words "wild girl", which made Ji Minghuan feel a little embarrassed. If he had known this, he should not have called her a "wild girl" in front of her that night!
"Ayao, I'm sorry for what I said that night. I think..." Ji Minghuan wanted to say something when a deep male voice interrupted him.
"I thought my Cinderella had slipped away before midnight, but it turns out she was hiding here, making it so hard for me to find her!"
Nie Yao and Ji Minghuan turned their heads and saw Li Jinxing, dressed in a suit, walking slowly towards them with one hand in his pocket.
Even though there were few lights on the path leading to the back door of the hotel, and the only street lamp was hidden in the grass, the faint light enveloped the tall Li Jinxing, still adding a bit of coldness to him.
