Because of this, he didn't notice Lin Chenxuan's little mood and grabbed his car keys to run out.
Junlin Restaurant
Lin Ziye and Ji Jingxi entered the restaurant hand in hand.
"Xixi, what do you want to eat today?"
Lin Ziye asked with doting affection, his tone extremely gentle.
"Let me see..."
Ji Jingxi flipped through the menu, randomly ordered what she liked, and then handed the iPad used to place the order to Lin Ziye.
"Why are you eating so little today? Hmm? Don't you have an appetite?"
Ji Jingxi ordered half the usual amount of food today, and seemed to have a poor appetite.
"It's too hot, I don't have much of an appetite."
Ji Jingxi looked listless, her hands resting limply on the table.
"You still have to eat, otherwise what if you get starving this afternoon?"
After Lin Ziye finished speaking, she ordered a few more of her favorite dishes from the menu.
"Luo Luo hasn't been in City A lately, so she can't come to the horse farm with me again."
Ji Jingxi said dejectedly, "Yan Xiluo is very busy, always very busy, but at least she'll go to the horse farm with me every two weeks..."
More than half a month has passed now, and they haven't been to the horse farm since summer vacation started.
“She’s been even busier since she returned to the Yan family. She was already busy when he was at home. She has her own things to do. I wish I had met Xixi sooner.”
Lin Ziye used to cling to his younger sister, but now that he has a girlfriend, he's become clingy to her.
If he had known the two of them were so compatible, he should have asked Yan Xiluo to introduce them to someone long ago.
"Early? Maybe I won't be in the mood for dating if it's too early."
Ji Jingxi didn't pour cold water on Yan Xiluo's feelings. None of Yan Xiluo's friends were useless. Ji Jingxi had only taken over the family business two years ago.
Those two years were incredibly busy; I didn't even have time to eat, so how could I possibly date?
"Um?"
Lin Ziye was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant. Did she have a better option?
"I just took over the family company a couple of years ago, and I was exhausted. I didn't even have enough time to go to the bathroom or sleep... How could I have had time to get to know you?"
At that time, she had no interest in talking about anything else; she was focused on the company.
At such a young age, she had a lot to handle and a lot to study, not to mention that she was still in college at that time...
"That seems to make sense."
Lin Ziye had a look of sudden realization.
"Next time Luo Luo comes back, we must treat her to a meal, a very formal one! Without Luo Luo, we wouldn't have met, let alone be together."
Ji Jingxi spoke earnestly, expressing her satisfaction with the boyfriend her best friend had found for her, who might very well be her future husband.
"Yes, definitely. She's away on business these past few days. We'll make plans with her when she gets back."
He was still very familiar with Yan Xiluo's whereabouts. Even though she had returned to the Yan family, Lin Ziye did not neglect her and cared for her every day.
You'll naturally know where she is.
"good!"
Ji Jingxi nodded gently, a satisfied smile on her face.

Yujingxuan
Yan Qirui and Tang Yutian have become regular lunch buddies.
Every time Yan Qirui tried to pay by card, Tang Yutian would stop him.
This time is no exception.
They had just finished eating when Tang Yutian gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue.
"Let's go... I'm done eating."
Yan Qirui had already wiped his mouth clean and waited for Tang Yutian in a gentlemanly manner.
Tang Yutian also tidied herself up immediately.
Yan Qirui walked in front, and Tang Yutian followed obediently behind.
"It's my turn to pay the bill now. We agreed to take turns."
Tang Yutian saw Yan Qirui take out his card and was about to hand it to the front desk when she quickly stopped him.
"Sweetie, why are you making such a big deal out of it? We ate together, and I'm willing to pay the bill."
For some reason, Yan Qirui had been somewhat unhappy the previous times, and this time he was even more so, directly asking her about it.
"Yan Qirui, I only take advantage of my boyfriend and only spend his money. We're just friends now, what's wrong with taking turns treating each other to meals?"
Tang Yutian said with a sour tone, feeling that Yan Qirui was too slow to warm up... It had been so long...
They're even dining buddies...
Tang Yutian also appeared very unhappy, angrily handing her card to the receptionist.
"Swipe my card."
Tang Yutian didn't look at Yan Qirui again.
Yan Qirui was speechless for a moment and couldn't say a word.
What she said seemed to make sense, but it also seemed unreasonable. What's wrong with inviting friends to dinner? Isn't that reasonable?
He knew Tang Yutian liked him, but he still felt that she was acting strangely today. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but he felt that he had done something wrong.
Did you not follow her rules?
After paying, Tang Yutian angrily strode forward and left the restaurant, seemingly not intending to ride in Yan Qirui's car.
Every time they went out for a meal, Yan Qirui would pick her up in his car. Yan Qirui got used to it and took it for granted.
"Sweetie, what's wrong? Are you still angry?"
Yan Qirui quickly caught up with her and tried to take her hand, but she angrily dodged away. Yan Qirui was taken aback and felt a little uncomfortable.
Is Tang Yutian so angry because he insisted on paying the bill?
Are you a stone?
Tang Yutian suddenly stopped and said this.
Yan Qirui was even more confused, not understanding what she meant.
"Why do you ask that? Of course I'm a human being..."
Yan Qirui was at a loss for what to do. He was having a great time while eating... and now he's angry over the bill...
"you……"
Tang Yutian was quite angry. Every time he called her "Tiantian" affectionately, she always mistakenly thought that he had feelings for her. Now that nothing has progressed, she is really anxious.
"Sweetie, what did I do wrong? Show me the way out?"
Yan Qirui's tone softened considerably; he really didn't understand girls' thoughts.
"We're just friends, you didn't do anything wrong."
Tang Yutian felt like she was crazy. Why was she so eager and anxious when others didn't like her? It was really beneath her.
She was in a bad mood and thought that just because she liked someone, that person had to like her back...
Yan Qirui wanted to say something but couldn't. He felt that if he said anything more, she would get even angrier. He didn't even understand what was making her angry.
"Sweetie, I know I must have said something wrong to make you angry. I apologize."
Yan Qirui noticed that her expression hadn't softened... it was really different from her usual self.
"Why do you say we have to be so clear about things? What do you mean by that? But we're friends. Why shouldn't we be so clear about things? Only close relationships allow for not being so clear about things! So we're friends after all, of course we have to be clear about things. I only take advantage of my boyfriend and only spend his money."
In her eyes, taking turns paying the bill was no problem, just like splitting the bill, and the food they ate was always around the same price.
This made her feel no burden, nor did she feel indebted to him; she didn't want to take advantage of him in any way.
Even if you're not together, you don't need to always feel like you owe him anything.
