"A-choo..."
Even though the windows and doors were closed tightly, Yu Huan still sneezed. He wondered if he had caught a cold.
She wrapped the small quilt tightly around herself.
?
In order to leave a good impression on Mrs. Ji, Yu Huan tried hard to create a quiet and introverted personality during the video call before they met.
Now, in order to prevent Mrs. Ji from thinking that she is two-faced, Yu Huan is still trying hard to maintain her own personality.
For example, he doesn't like going out, is shy when meeting people, speaks in a very low voice, always likes to stay in the room reading... and so on.
Whenever the aunt who cooks at home sees her, she always asks her to walk around more outside, which shows how deeply her pretense has become popular.
Over time, Yu Huan himself began to believe it.
During this period, she slowly got to know Ji Ruting's personality. She was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, a beautiful woman who was not good at expressing herself but had a very high IQ. She took over some of the work in the company during her university vacation.
Yu Huan just wanted to complete a task and had no intention of deliberately bullying the heroine, and the two of them got along pretty well.
It was Ji Yuzhou, the first person he met, that Yu Huan still didn't fully understand after such a long time.
I only know that my eldest brother is the pillar of the family, and all the big and small matters of the company go through his hands.
But, she always felt that the other person seemed to be able to see through her.
?
That day, Yu Huan had just finished talking to her grandmother on the phone when there was a knock on the door.
Ji Ruting said: "The old lady of the Su family is celebrating her birthday the day after tomorrow and has invited us over."
Going out was risky, so Yu Huan hesitated.
Ji Ruting thought she was shy and said, "I'll go with you. Just stay with me."
Yu Huan blinked, still hesitating.
Ji Ruting tried to convince her: "Mom and Dad will probably be there too, but they won't be sitting at the same table with us. We've prepared the gifts for you, so when the time comes, you can just meet them, have a meal, and come back."
"It's said that the event is quite grand, and the guest list includes quite a few talented people. They spent half a month preparing the banquet hall for the reception, and the chef in charge is a specially invited celebrity..."
"Well, okay then." Yu Huan nodded.
Famous chefs and the like are secondary. The main thing is that I haven’t been out for several days.
He was really persuaded.
Ji Ruting gained more confidence in her eloquence. It wasn't as bad as they said.
?
"Brother Junyao, how are you planning your grandmother's birthday party? Where are you going to eat it? Who are the guests coming?" Fang Zhu, who was wearing glasses, inquired about the news in advance.
"I don't know, it was all done by my parents." Xie Junyao touched the plastic cinnabar bracelet on his wrist and missed his late wife every day.
"Are you going?" Fang Zhu asked.
"How can I not go to my grandmother's birthday party? My mother even asked me to stand at the door to greet guests." Xie Junyao said.
He picked up his phone, the screen lit up, and the wallpaper for the group photo popped up.
Under the old tree, the girl had a ponytail with some fluffy hair around her ears, her eyes were bright and her smile was brilliant.
He held up his phone to an angle that she found pleasing, then quietly moved closer to her. Finally, just before pressing the camera button, he succeeded in getting his face touching hers.
So we have this sweet and touching photo.
"I told you before that I would bring you over for dinner on grandma's birthday."
Xie Junyao propped up his chin, traced the girl's eyebrows and eyes on the screen, and said in a low voice with a nonchalant tone: "What a pity, you don't have this blessing."
?
On the day of the birthday party, all the celebrities in City A who had connections with the Su and Xie families came to the banquet.
The main entrance of the banquet hall was crowded with people. The young master of the Xie family was wearing a black suit with an exquisite iris brooch on his lapel. He was as noble and handsome as a prince in a fairy tale, but he was pulled to the door by his mother and greeted every guest who came in like a lucky cat.
Ji's mother and father have already gone in, and Ji Yuzhou is not done yet, so he can only come over when it's almost starting.
Yu Huan followed Ji Ruting forward in the crowd.
Ji Ruting quietly introduced the identities of the guests to her, such as who's family this lady was and who's family that young master was.
Yu Huan was surprised that she could remember everyone and couldn't help but praise her.
Ji Ruting's face remained expressionless, but her tone of voice rose noticeably as she introduced more seriously: "The man in the front wearing a black coat with a white shirt is Xie Junyao..."
Yu Huan, who was looking around, suddenly stopped and looked forward in disbelief.
Sure enough, a familiar face, a familiar body, the only difference being that he was wearing a custom-made suit instead of a couple's sweatshirt...
The man seemed to sense something and turned his head intuitively.
Yu Huan's heart was in his throat and he suddenly hid behind Ji Ruting.
Ji Ruting looked at her sister who suddenly hid herself in confusion.
"My stomach hurts a little." Yu Huan explained stiffly. Fortunately, a lady in a formal dress came over, and the large hem of her skirt blocked them.
A familiar face flashed through his mind, and his heartbeat inexplicably quickened. Xie Junyao always felt that something was waiting for him, and he kept looking forward.
Seeing that my mother is not here.
He left his post and walked over there.
