Only then did they notice that the girl's porcelain-white face had become much rosier, and even her almond-shaped eyes were brighter.
He looked away, a smile playing on his lips: "Very beautiful."
Qin Sheng had heard many compliments about her looks, but this was the first time she had heard such a direct and simple compliment from Fu Jingheng. She pursed her lips somewhat uncomfortably.
However, she quickly regained her usual aloofness and remembered something else.
"I'm going back to the Qin family." She paused, "The day after tomorrow."
Fu Jingheng's expression shifted, and he glanced at her: "Have you thought it through?"
Qin Sheng tightened her grip on the milk tea, and after a moment, she looked up and said, "I've thought it through."
Fu Jingheng smiled and said, "Okay."
There was no further investigation or commentary.
Qin Sheng felt a sudden sense of relief, and her body relaxed as well.
She leaned back in her chair, looked up at him, and said, "I'd like to invite you to dinner."
Fu Jingheng raised an eyebrow: "Hot pot?"
Qin Sheng: "Okay."
Her almond-shaped eyes were dark and bright, incredibly captivating.
Fu Jingheng looked away, but a slight smile still lingered on his lips.

At the same time, the Ji family.
"Dad, has the Chunhe New City project secured a partner yet?"
Ji Hao felt a little strange seeing his son run to the study to find him as soon as he got home.
However, Ji Yangchen rarely inquired about family matters, so Ji Hao was quite happy that he showed concern this time. He smiled and said, "Not yet. What, do you have any recommendations?"
Ji Yangchen's eyes flickered: "What do you think of the Pei family?"
Ji Hao frowned: "The Pei family?"
"In terms of strength, he's barely capable, and Pei Yongshou has a good reputation in the business world. It's just that the Pei family's atmosphere isn't very good. Didn't they make the trending topics recently? Apparently, it was caused by their adopted daughter."
"It wasn't Qin Sheng! It was clearly that idiot Pei Yu who was lustful. The matter has already been clarified online. It was the Pei family who framed Qin Sheng to protect Pei Yu!"
Ji Yangchen's reaction was so strong that Ji Hao immediately sensed something was wrong.
He narrowed his eyes: "You've taken a fancy to that adopted daughter of the Pei family?"
Ji Yangchen's face instantly turned bright red, but he didn't back down. Instead, he met Ji Hao's eyes and said, "Yes, I like Qin Sheng!"
Ji Hao almost laughed out of anger, and he did laugh, but it was a cold laugh.
He waved his hand dismissively: "I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
"Let alone the fact that Qin Sheng has been taken to various parties by Qin Xuehua, and we don't even know if she's still a virgin, my Ji family can't afford a girl like that!"
Ji Yangchen never expected that his own father would not only not support him, but also say such things, which made him so angry that his eyes turned red.
But before he could say anything, Ji Hao gave him another deep look and continued, "Putting all that aside, the Qiao family member made a public statement back then."
"He's determined to have that adopted daughter of the Pei family."
"Although our Ji family is not bad, we are still far inferior to the Qiao family. Ah Chen, have you thought this through? Do you really want to offend the Qiao family for a girl?"
Ji Yangchen's face turned pale, and his mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
Ji Hao smiled and said, "Alright, it's been a while since you've come home this early. Go see your grandparents."
