Chapter 291 Engagement
"Whatever, I'm not here to drink coffee with you!" Nie Yao replied coldly.
Ji Minghuan wasn't annoyed at all. He smiled and said to the waiter standing in front of him, "Give me a caramel Americano and a thick milk latte. Oh, and a tiramisu mille-feuille cake..."
He placed his order expertly and smiled at Nie Yao, "Don't be fooled by the inconspicuousness of this coffee shop, but the food is delicious. Many people who come to the library to borrow books usually come here for a cup of coffee..."
Seeing how well he understood the situation, Nie Yao raised an eyebrow and asked, "From what you said, you come here often?"
"Not very often, but our Chamber of Commerce has a partnership with the library here. As a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, I often donate books to the library, so I'll come and take a look when I have time!"
When Ji Minghuan mentioned the words "Chamber of Commerce representative", a smile appeared on his face. Although he seemed to be saying it casually, he actually revealed a sense of pride and arrogance.
She had seen this expression on Ji Minghuan the other day when she attended the charity dinner. At that time, there were indeed many businessmen and celebrities surrounding him, the son of the Chamber of Commerce president, with some arrogance and some respect...
But later this scene was broken after Li Jinxing appeared!
After all, Ji Minghuan's father, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, also has to be respectful to Li Jinxing!
Seeing Ji Minghuan back to his old ways, Nie Yao almost couldn't hold back her laughter. However, Ji Minghuan misunderstood her expression and continued to explain, "So, as you can see, I came here for business, not a personal matter. The person just now was indeed the guide responsible for connecting us with the donated books, and he's also an old friend..."
Nie Yao didn't care at all about the relationship between that woman and Ji Minghuan. After hearing him explain to her again, she replied indifferently, "You don't need to explain to me what's going on between you and her. It's none of my business."
Ji Minghuan didn't expect Nie Yao to not buy his rather sincere words at all. Her brows furrowed slightly, but she managed a patient smile and said, "I know you're just saying it in anger, but how can it have nothing to do with you? After all, our two families have an engagement, and I don't want you to doubt my loyalty to my relationship because of what happened today!"
Nie Yao hadn't expected Ji Minghuan to have the nerve to bring up an engagement. Shaking her head, she jokingly reminded him, "Ji Minghuan, I think you're mistaken. Even if the Nie family and your Ji family have a marriage contract, it doesn't mean you and I have any relationship! If you want an explanation, go find Nie Jinxi!"
"You..." Ji Minghuan's expression changed slightly, and he almost couldn't keep the smile on his face. Fortunately, the waiter brought up coffee and dessert at this time.
Ji Minghuan took a sip of his coffee, calming his displeasure. He then smiled and said, "Nie Yao, I am the only son of the Ji family, and you are the eldest grandson and daughter of the Nie family. Our two families are marrying each other, so of course it's my engagement with you. You can't refuse!"
Now that their Ji family is at its peak, and in terms of wealth and power, they are far more powerful than the Nie family, he doesn't believe that the Nie family will give up such a marriage arrangement!
Looking at the determined smile on Ji Minghuan's face, Nie Yao said coldly and mercilessly, "Ji Minghuan, let me ask you, if I hadn't been taken back by the Nie family, would you still be willing to consider me as a marriage partner?"
Ji Minghuan was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this and fell silent for a moment.
