At the Royal College of Art, a black SUV was parked at the entrance, attracting the attention of students coming and going.
Ji Lingmo wore a jet-black trench coat, his posture was as upright as a pine tree, and his handsome face seemed to have been carefully sculpted by the heavens.
His towering height of over 1.9 meters was particularly striking, giving him a unique and commanding presence. His expression was extremely cold and aloof, like a thousand-year-old iceberg, radiating an aura that made people afraid to approach him.
The area was surrounded by female students, who gathered in twos and threes, whispering among themselves, their faces filled with infatuation.
Li Yuanyuan and Anna walked out of the school gate hand in hand.
Anna asked curiously, "Hey, what happened at the door?"
Li Yuanyuan also looked puzzled.
"Let's go take a look."
Anna, with her lively personality and love of watching the excitement, squeezed her way out and let out a gasp the next second.
"Wow, what a handsome man! He must be here to pick up his girlfriend. I wonder who in our school is so lucky?"
Anna sounded a little regretful; why hadn't she met such a perfect man?
Li Yuanyuan looked surprised and froze.
Why is he here?
Just then, Ji Lingmo walked over to her and forcefully pulled her into his arms.
"Sweetie, I'm here to pick you up from school."
All the girls gasped; they never expected to be this Eastern girl's boyfriend.
Anna's expression was a bit cracked, and it took her a while to find her voice.
"Yuanyuan, what happened?"
When did her little Yuanyuan find a boyfriend behind her back, and such an outstanding one at that?
There's a Chinese saying that goes, "If you don't make a sound, you'll be astonishing when you do."
Faced with so many envious and jealous eyes, Li Yuanyuan felt so embarrassed that she just wanted to run away, but Anna was her best friend, and she couldn't ignore her.
“Anna, I, I…”
But she really didn't know how to explain how things started between them.
Ji Lingmo could tell at a glance that the woman in front of him was a friend that his darling cared about, so he was happy to give her a friendly welcome.
"Hello! I'm her boyfriend, Ji Lingmo. Thank you for taking care of my darling all this time. We'll treat you to dinner sometime when we have time."
"We have to go now."
Anna felt like an ant in front of the man, and could only watch helplessly as he helped Yuanyuan into the car.
"Okay, okay."
Even after the car had driven some distance, Li Yuanyuan still felt completely lost.
Ji Lingmo held her soft hand and asked gently, "Baby, would you like Western food or Chinese food?"
Li Yuanyuan turned to look at him and asked softly, "Could you please not come to my school next time? It's not a good influence."
She didn't want anyone to know about this absurd relationship.
Ji Lingmo refused outright, "Not only that, I also want you to move in with me."
He wanted to be involved in the little girl's life and couldn't let any other man get close to her.
Li Yuanyuan was terrified by his words. "I don't agree. I'm living here just fine, and my family comes to visit me occasionally. If they see me moving, they'll become suspicious."
Ji Lingmo was clearly a powerful and influential person, and she couldn't win against him, nor did she want her parents to worry.
Ji Lingmo parked the car at a Chinese restaurant, unbuckled his seatbelt, and pulled her onto his lap.
“That’s easy. I’ll bring you back whenever my mother-in-law and brother-in-law come over. They won’t find out.”
Li Yuanyuan panicked even more; he even knew this.
"This Chinese restaurant is pretty good. Let me take you there to eat first."
"President Ji, you've arrived."
As soon as the man stepped inside, a manager immediately came up to him with a fawning smile.
Ji Lingmo put his arm around her waist and nodded to the manager, "Same as before."
"Okay, Mr. Ji, this way please."
The manager bowed and scraped, his eyes not daring to wander, for fear of displeasing the distinguished guest.
In Royo, Western Europe, Ji Lingmo is the ruler, holding the power of survival over them.
Ji Lingmo sat next to Li Yuanyuan and, seeing her curiosity about everything, quickly began to introduce it to her.
Li Yuanyuan's attention had long been diverted. When she first arrived in Luoyue, she missed Chinese food, so Anna recommended this place, but they didn't have the right to enter.
I never imagined that she would come here with Ji Lingmo one day.
Judging from the manager's respectful manner towards him, he must wield considerable power.
The restaurant served the food very quickly; a table full of Chinese dishes was placed on the table in just a few minutes.
"Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Ji."
The manager led his group out with their heads bowed, and even as the door closed, he was still shaken.
If he wasn't mistaken, President Ji was just trying to appease him.
Ji Lingmo picked up a scallop and held it to her lips. "What are you thinking about? Come on, open your mouth."
Li Yuanyuan came to her senses and refused to let him feed her no matter what.
"I'd like to do it myself, but you can eat too."
Ji Lingmo took it as her feeling sorry for him and was secretly delighted.
Watching her eat slowly and carefully is a truly delightful experience.
"Does the taste suit your palate?"
Li Yuanyuan looked up at him and nodded gently. She had to admit that this Chinese restaurant was really authentic; no wonder it was so famous.
She tapped her chopsticks and asked, "Do you like Chinese food too?"
Ji Lingmo put down his chopsticks, brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, and raised an eyebrow. "Silly girl, I forgot to tell you, my mother is Chinese, so I've loved Chinese food since I was very young."
Li Yuanyuan was stunned and stared at him intently.
