A glint of light flashed in Ji Mingjing's eyes. He picked up the iPad from the dining table, leaned closer to Rongrong, and asked gently, "Rongrong, what would you like to eat today?"
Rongrong saw that Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yichen had ordered eight dishes. They didn't really need to order any more, but did the man next to her want her to order?
No, he just wanted to show off.
To avoid making him too angry, Rongrong cooperated and said, "You order, I'll eat whatever you eat."
My girlfriend still loves me! Ji Mingjing said with genuine emotion, his expression filled with sincerity: "I know you feel sorry for me after a long day, but it doesn't matter how hard or tired I am. As long as you eat well, sleep well, and are happy every day, I'll be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people present were... indescribable.
Rongrong is really not used to it!
Qin Yichen really wanted to ask, "Are you acting out a Qiong Yao drama?"
Gu Yunzhen put down the iPad and looked at Ji Mingjing in surprise: "You're quite easily satisfied."
Just as Ji Mingjing was about to admit it, Gu Si said, "But it seems like it makes no difference whether you're here or not, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingjing felt a lump in his throat.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's a huge difference, okay? With me around, she can only eat well, sleep well, and be in a good mood when she's watching over me every day."
As Ji Mingjing spoke arrogantly, he reached under the table and placed two fingers on Rongrong's thigh, bending them in a gesture of kneeling, hoping she would give him some face and not expose him.
Rongrong's eyes twitched slightly; she was truly impressed by him.
"Yes."
She admitted it.
Ji Mingjing immediately looked at Gu Si provocatively.
Under the table, Rongrong squeezed his fingers, signaling him to stop.
Ji Mingjing turned to look at her, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, and he didn't notice the fleeting trace of loneliness in Gu Yunzhen's eyes.
He also wanted to see his wife every day.
Thinking about his three-month hiatus, Gu Yunzhen lost interest in provoking Ji Mingjing. What difference would it make if he won, since his wife wasn't around?
After ordering the food, Rongrong looked at the photo album while the three men chatted.
Ji Mingjing looked at Gu Yunzhen: "Have the research institutes you invested in yielded any results?"
"I don't know." Gu Yunzhen always left the research institute's affairs to professionals. "Do you have any ideas?"
Ji Mingjing smiled and said, "As you reminded me before, I've also secured investment from two research institutes. One of them has already developed a self-service robot and applied for a patent. It will be launched on the market soon. Are you interested in pre-ordering it?"
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "What are its functions?"
Ji Mingjing explained, "In fully automatic mode, it can have simple conversations with people, cook, clean, deliver goods, and soothe children. It also has monitoring equipment, attack programs, and its combat strength is no less than that of a bodyguard."
"Brilliant!"
Qin Yichen clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Isn't this an essential for home and travel? Reserve ten for me!"
Gu Yunzhen thought of the old people in Baiyin Village.
As they get older, continuing to live in the mountains will certainly bring many inconveniences.
He looked at Ji Mingjing: "Let's order two hundred units first."
Before Ji Mingjing could speak, Qin Yichen exclaimed incredulously, "Holy crap, what do you need so many for?"
Gu Yunzhen said casually, "Give them away. Keep the extras at the company."
Immediately, Qin Yichen gave him a thumbs up: "Big boss! Can you spare a little for me? I want to make money too. Sigh, supporting a family is not easy, baby sighs."
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Have you no shame?"
Qin Yichen chuckled, "I already have a face. If I want more, wouldn't that make me shameless? That's definitely not going to work out. So, boss, are you going to give me any work?"
Since Qin Sanhui would be staying in Xizhou City for an extended period, Gu Yunzhen actually needed his help.
"Okay, come with me later."
"Okay, boss!"
Qin Yichen whistled; finally, there was something to cheer him up.
Before long, all twelve dishes were served.
The four of them ate and chatted.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The restaurant manager's voice then pierced through: "Master Ji, may I disturb you for a moment?"
Ji Mingjing called out, "Come in."
The restaurant manager pushed open the door and entered.
Three middle-aged men following behind him also came in.
"Fourth Young Master, I just heard from my secretary that I saw you, so I thought I'd come over to confirm. I didn't expect it really to be you!"
“We went to the capital to look for you, but unfortunately, we came to find you empty-handed.”
"Fourth Young Master, when are you free?"
The three of them spoke to Gu Yunzhen with great politeness.
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He thought the visitor was looking for Ji Mingjing, but he never expected it was looking for him.
These three are all business tycoons who have partnered with the W Group.
Gu Yunzhen exchanged a few pleasantries with them.
Knowing that he would be staying in the capital city for some time, the three business tycoons wisely left.
What was initially thought to be just a minor incident turned into a rumor two days later that the president of W Group had contracted a disease that prevented him from eating out unless he brought a photo of his wife.
After hearing this rumor, Ji Mingjing and Qin Yichen saw an old man looking at his phone on the subway (jpg).
That's fucking outrageous.
There are still photos of the cubs in the album, are those people blind?
However, everyone is having a great time chatting right now.
Apart from Qin Yichen.
He left after finishing his meal because he was worried about Martha.
Qin Yichen invited Gu Yunzhen to stay at his place, but Gu Yunzhen was invited by Ji Mingjing. In order to show hospitality, he invited Gu Yunzhen to the Ji family home.
Gu Yunzhen refused them all, and he took a plane back to the capital overnight.
