Especially before Si Nianbei and Yuan Ye made their statements, and since they were unsure of their intentions and why they had come today, no one dared to speak out of turn.
They were afraid that if they said something wrong, Si Nianbei would take it to heart. Although this was the first time Si Nianbei had eaten with them, people in their circle knew that the Si family's business had long been taken over by this young master, and he was making great strides in it.
"Haha, this is what it means for classmates to have common topics!"
"Yes, young people these days have increasingly active minds. If they just chat together, their feelings might just grow stronger!"
In fact, Ji Yao could probably guess what they were thinking.
Their idea was simply to bring the two of them together. If things really turned out well, Si Nianbei would have to owe them a debt of gratitude. But what they didn't know was that they had known each other for three years, and Ji Yao didn't believe that someone who hadn't reacted after three years of face-to-face interaction would suddenly like her.
"Is that so?" Ji Yao asked them deftly, a slight smile playing on her lips, seemingly uninterested in their topic.
"Excuse me." Si Nianbei suddenly stood up, walked to Ji Yao without saying a word, grabbed her hand and walked out, not even giving her a chance to speak.
"Thank you for getting me out of that situation just now." Ji Yao smiled politely.
Although she didn't need it, given her upbringing, she felt she had to express her gratitude. Regardless of whether he actually helped her, the fact that he was willing to stand up for her instead of kicking her when she was down was enough for her to thank him for…
Si Nianbei asked expressionlessly, "Do you still want to go in?"
"yes."
Si Nianbei's expression was indifferent, and her cute expression made her look like an underage child, which was quite strange.
"Even if you go back and face those words again, you wouldn't care?"
"What exactly are you thinking?" Ji Yao stared at him coldly, her indifferent expression suggesting they had never met before.
To be honest, she was genuinely surprised. Why would Si Nianbei pull her out without saying a word? Their relationship wasn't exactly that good back in school.
Aside from student council matters, the two of them hardly ever interacted in private...
Si Nianbei felt terrible, but Ran Meng's face couldn't truly express his distress; instead, it made him look even more adorable.
"You know perfectly well that those people have no intention of cooperating with you, so why are you torturing yourself like this?"
Those people were clearly humiliating her, and he didn't understand why she had to endure it so stubbornly.
“President,” Ji Yao looked at him with utter indifference, “No, I should call you General Manager Si now. I think my affairs are none of your business.”
How could he possibly ignore it?
Although he has not officially entered this circle, it doesn't mean he is completely unaware of how dirty it is.
Si Nianbei stared at her blankly, unconsciously acting cute. Even when she was angry, she looked like a harmless cat.
"Please forgive my bluntness, but we are just classmates from the same school, not even friends. My affairs are none of your business."
After saying this, Ji Yao left without giving him a chance to speak again.
"Brother, I think you should just give up. How can you handle such a strong-willed girl?" Yuan Ye comforted him with a sympathetic look.
It was obvious that she didn't like him. Seeing her cold face and the way she seemed to want to sever ties immediately, Yuan Ye, who was listening to them from the shadows, was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.
"What do you see in this heartless girl? Is it just because she's pretty?"
There are countless beautiful girls on the campus ranking list, yet he doesn't seem interested in any of them.
Seeing his meddlesome expression, Si Nianbei lazily rolled her eyes and said something infuriating: "It's none of your business."
"..." Well, what a waste of his good intentions. Why should he care? He's asking for trouble himself, what's it to him? It's his own fault for following him even though he had already decided to never interfere again...
Ji Yao never expected that she would encounter someone she never anticipated in such a setting, and she certainly never imagined...
He didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and grabbed her wrist to take her out.
He dragged her out of the hotel, and after walking for two blocks, she finally snapped out of her daze and, without thinking, shook off his large hand that was gripping her wrist.
Despite being so ruthlessly flung away, Mo Yanyu remained calm and composed, showing no sign of anger.
Ji Yao glanced at his figure blocking her way and subconsciously frowned. "Move aside."
Her voice was icy, as if she were speaking to a stranger.
Mo Yanyu frowned and asked firmly, "You still want to go back?"
Ji Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly. "My affairs are none of your business. Whether I go back or not is none of your concern."
He paused for a moment after hearing this, then stood firmly in front of her, blocking her way, "I won't let you go back."
No matter how much she resents or hates him now...
Upon hearing this, Ji Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she could no longer maintain her composure. With reddened eyes, she looked at him and asked, "Mo Yanyu, since you didn't come back before, why are you here now?"
