Wolves inspire fear and deter people from advancing.
But dogs are man's best friend.
Rongrong's gaze lingered on his handsome face, and she told the truth, "I'm going back to Xizhou City next month for my high school reunion."
A high school reunion?
No wonder that brat Ji Xianreng was happy.
Isn't this just using the guise of being classmates to have dinner with her?
Ji Mingjing felt increasingly bitter.
He suppressed the voice of opposition in his heart and went over the words "the moon shines in my arms" in his mind.
"I'm hungry, can you have a meal with me?" Ji Mingjing looked at her with deep eyes.
Rongrong was slightly surprised.
She thought Ji Mingjing would strongly oppose her return to Xizhou City.
She would definitely have picked up the stick and asked him to leave.
But now he's not annoying. She asked, "Cooking rice is too slow, how about I make you some scallion noodles?"
"You're going to cook noodles for me?" Ji Mingjing thought she would order takeout to get rid of him.
Otherwise, would he still want to eat the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
Rongrong's expression turned cold: "If you're not going to eat, then get out."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Mingjing firmly said, "I'll eat! I just didn't expect you to cook for me."
His hoarse voice carried a hint of suppressed emotion, and his eyes were exceptionally restrained.
For a second, Rongrong wondered if she had been too harsh on him.
But a second later, she stopped thinking about anything.
He is the head of the Ji family!
If he were to marry his nephew's fiancée, he would be ridiculed and vilified in the historically rich city of Xizhou, his reputation would be ruined, and the elders of the Ji family would replace him as the head of the family.
Once Ji Mingjing is no longer the head of the Ji family, the power behind the Ji family will no longer be at his disposal, and at that time, the assassin organization's retaliation will follow.
He might die!
Rongrong rejected him again and again, simply wanting him to live a good life.
All she needed to know was that he was doing well.
Whether they are together or not.
It's not important.
Lost in thought, Rongrong calmly walked out of the room, with Ji Mingjing following closely behind her all the way to the kitchen.
In the bedroom, Ji Mingjing's phone rang many times, but no one answered.
Let's go back to evening.
Yan Yirou rushed to the hospital carrying a bag of insulated containers.
She never expected that when she went home, Gu Chenye would be moved to a VIP ward.
She walked into the VIP ward, her eyes filled with surprise.
When did hospital rooms become so similar to home? There are even two calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall?!
But solid wood sofas... they're so hard, they're not comfortable to sleep on, are they?
Yan Yirou took the insulated box out of the bag and placed it on the table. There were four dishes and one soup in total.
"My mom took a little while to make the chicken soup. Are you starving?"
"No."
Gu Chenye denied it, then noticed there was only one rice bowl on the table: "You've already eaten at home?"
"I haven't eaten." Yan Yirou wiped her hands clean, walked to the bedside, and helped him get out of bed. As she walked, she said, "I was just worried you were hungry, so I asked you to sit down and eat first."
Gu Chenye sat motionless on the cushioned chair.
Yan Yirou took out another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing this, she asked in surprise, "You don't want me to feed you, do you?"
Gu Chenye abruptly looked away, picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat, his ear tips slightly red.
Yan Yirou didn't notice anything amiss; she served herself rice, sat down, and started eating.
He wasn't hungry, but she was starving.
Since she was going to take care of him until he was discharged from the hospital, it was also important for the patient to keep in a good mood, so she only drank two sips of soup at home before rushing over.
After all, eating with two people tastes better than eating alone.
After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.
Yan Yirou was about to clear the dishes, but Gu Chenye called Gu Jiu in to do it.
With no work to do, Yan Yirou didn't know what to do next.
"That's right!"
She suddenly remembered and looked at Gu Chenye on the hospital bed: "What did you want to talk to me about when you called me earlier?"
Gu Chenye's expression froze.
"You see that sofa? No one can sleep on it. Gu Jiu and the others are looking after me here. You can stay for a while and then go home so you can get a good night's sleep."
"You're kicking me out?"
Yan Yirou never expected that after she brought him food, he would turn his back on her after eating it.
Gu Chenye shook his head: "No."
"Then why are you making me go back? What if I run into the Black Riders again on the way?" Yan Yirou glared at him angrily.
"I'll have Gu Jiu escort him..."
Before Gu Chenye could finish speaking, Yan Yirou interrupted him, saying, "Shut up!"
She was initially a little hesitant and embarrassed, but now, she patted the big bed and said, "I think this bed is big enough; three people could lie down comfortably. Besides, I'm not even shy yet, so why are you being so fussy, you big man?"
Gu Chenye's pupils dilated as if he had been shocked, and he was completely stunned, unable to utter a single word.
But many questions flashed through his mind.
What does she mean? She wants to sleep with him? In the same bed!!!
Did she agree to be with him?
Does she like him?
she……
Gradually, Gu Chenye's ears grew hotter and hotter, turning a deep red.
This time, Yan Yirou saw that his ears had turned red, and her eyes lit up.
She leaned closer and poked his shoulder with a finger: "Hey, are you shy?"
Gu Chenye suddenly came to his senses.
The next second, he found her right in front of him, her smile carrying a hint of teasing.
Gu Chenye raised an eyebrow, grabbed her arm and pulled her against the headboard, saying, "Men need to protect themselves when they're out."
Well!
Yan Yirou was stunned. So he had captured her as a female hooligan?
