Chapter 44 Rejection
"Yes, you know Ji Minghuan, right? You two talked about him at the welcome dinner before!" Father Nie explained with a smile.
Nie Yao responded indifferently. Not only did she know Ji Minghuan, she was also "impressed" by him!
But why did he invite her to the Ji family's banquet at this time?
"Ayao, if you have nothing else to do, you should go. After all, the Ji family and our Nie family have a very good relationship, and..."
Before Father Nie could finish his words, Nie Yao interrupted him and replied without hesitation, "Dad, tell them I'm not going!"
Hearing his daughter's resolute tone, Father Nie couldn't persuade her any further. He could only sigh softly and end the call. He smiled apologetically at Ji Minghuan, who was still waiting for news at Nie's house, and said, "Sorry, Minghuan, she's busy, so she can't go..."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Ji Minghuan's eyes. This Nie Yao had just been adopted by the Nie family. What could she be busy with?
She clearly wanted to reject him...
Although he felt somewhat unhappy, Ji Minghuan maintained a polite smile on his face. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Uncle Nie, I was inconsiderate and the invitation was too sudden... Could you give me her phone number so I can talk to her in person?"
Father Nie nodded and gave Nie Yao's cell phone number to Ji Minghuan.
Nie Yao had just hung up the phone and was about to leave the balcony when her cell phone rang again.
She thought it was her father calling to persuade her, so she answered the phone without even glancing at the screen: "I told you, I won't go..."
"Ayao, it's me!" Ji Minghuan's gentle voice suddenly rang out.
Nie Yao frowned slightly. How could Ji Minghuan have her number?
After thinking about it for a while, it was probably given by her father, so it’s not surprising.
"Ji Minghuan, I said, our relationship is not close enough for you to call me that!" Nie Yao reminded coldly.
"Okay, Miss Nie..." Ji Minghuan immediately called out her name and said politely, "I would like to sincerely invite you to attend our Ji family's banquet tonight..."
"What does your Ji family's dinner have to do with me?" Nie Yao sneered and said coldly, "I won't go. You can invite Nie Jinxi instead. I think she'd be happy to attend!"
"Nie Yao, I've said that Nie Jinxi and I have nothing to do with each other..." When Ji Minghuan heard her mention Nie Jinxi, he thought that Nie Yao was jealous of the relationship between her and Nie Jinxi, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
"So don't worry about it. Tonight's banquet is very important, so I want to invite you to attend..."
When Nie Yao heard him distancing himself from Nie Jinxi, she felt only mocked. Just as she was about to sneer at him, her phone was suddenly snatched away by Li Jinxing, who had appeared behind her out of nowhere.
"She can't go because of something. You don't have to force her. Otherwise, it would be ungentlemanly!"
Ji Minghuan on the other end of the phone suddenly heard Li Jinxing's voice coming from the phone, and his body suddenly stiffened.
"Master Li Jiu?" He asked cautiously. He really couldn't imagine why Nie Yao's cell phone suddenly ended up in Master Li Jiu's hands!
Li Jinxing responded in a faint tone as a reply.
Ji Minghuan was finally sure that he had heard correctly. He froze for a long moment before coming to his senses and hesitantly asked, "Master Li Jiu, are you and Nie Yao together?"
"Are you weird?" Li Jinxing asked him back.
