Ji Lanyue looked at the crowd below, her beautiful face holding a captivating smile, her bright eyes sharp, cutting through the crowd and catching Xiao Yu’s gaze.
He felt as if struck by her beauty, a shock surging in his heart, rendering him unable to recover for a long time.
It was only when an upperclassman who had come along spoke up that he was pulled back from his distant thoughts.
“What are you looking at?” the upperclassman asked, following Xiao Yu’s gaze with a teasing gleam in his eyes, “Oh, staring at a beauty, huh? Aren’t you worried Wen Li will get angry if she finds out?”
“It’s not like that,” Xiao Yu said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret and won’t tell Wen Li,” the upperclassman winked at him.
A trace of helplessness appeared in Xiao Yu’s eyes.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was from Wen Li.
Xiao Yu’s stern face softened instantly as he answered the phone and walked towards the quiet, deserted balcony.
The momentary amazement in his heart had disappeared as soon as he received the call from Wen Li.
“Xiao Yu, what are you doing?” Wen Li’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xiao Yu: “I’m at a banquet outside.”
Wen Li: “Am I disturbing you by calling now? I’ll call you tomorrow instead.”
Xiao Yu: “No worries, I’m not busy with anything.”
Hearing this, Wen Li finally relaxed, “Is the banquet like those luxurious ones shown on TV?”
Xiao Yu: “It’s alright. If you’re curious, I’ll bring you along next time.”
Wen Li: “Okay.”
…
The next day.
Lin Xu had hardly slept the previous night, slight dark circles under her eyes, rubbing her nearly sore waist as she came downstairs.
When she saw the man who caused all her troubles, casually sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping tea, her resentment surged.
She walked to the living room and sat on the sofa opposite the man.
Ji Yanli set down his teacup, a light chuckle escaping his throat, “Hungry? What do you want to eat?”
Lin Xu turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
The smile in Ji Yanli’s eyes deepened as he sat down next to Lin Xu, “Still angry?”
Lin Xu huffed coldly, ignoring him.
Ji Yanli stretched his arm around her, gently kneading her waist, “Where does it hurt? Let me massage it for you.”
“Even if you massage me, I won’t forgive you!” Lin Xu clenched her teeth.
Ji Yanli kissed her cheek, his low voice seductive, “Hmm, I was wrong. I’ll restrain myself next time, don’t be angry.”
Lin Xu didn’t believe him.
Every time he promised to restrain himself, but in the end, he still exhausted her.
And the next day, he always appeared refreshed and bright, which infuriated her even more.
“Besides, didn’t you say you wanted to try out a ‘puppy’ for a feel? Isn’t this me giving you a comparison?” Ji Yanli’s eyebrows twitched, shifting the blame back to her.
She knew this man was petty; she had told him countless times that she was just joking.
Lin Xu felt a bit guilty, “I’ve said it, I was just joking. And besides, the children are already so big, why would I go looking for a ‘puppy’?”
Ji Yanli’s eyes narrowed slightly, “If the children weren’t big, would you have gone looking?”
Lin Xu coughed awkwardly, changing the subject, “I think I’m a little hungry, I’ll go to the kitchen to see what’s there to eat.”
Ji Yanli chuckled lightly, and let her go.
Afternoon.
Ji Yanli had to attend a shareholders’ meeting at the company, leaving Lin Xu alone at home.
She was bored at home, so she made plans with a few friends to go to the beauty salon and asked Ji Yanli to pick her up after work.
When she received a call from Ji Yanli, the sky outside had darkened.
She opened the car door, only to find Ji Tingyang driving instead of Ji Yanli, which surprised her.
“I heard from father that he was coming to pick you up, so I came along,” Ji Tingyang explained.
Lin Xu nodded and took a seat in the passenger side.
Seeing her action from the backseat, Ji Yanli slightly raised his eyebrows.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Tingyang’s eyes, “Mother, aren’t you going to sit in the back with father?”
“Is there something wrong with me sitting here next to you?” Lin Xu turned and glared at him.
Ji Tingyang of course denied it but still cast a doubtful look at Ji Yanli.
Ji Yanli chuckled, “Your mother is mad at me.”
Ji Tingyang nodded in realization.
Anyway, the two would reconcile in a few days, sweet as ever, so he didn’t take it to heart and started the car.
“What would you like to eat tonight? I will ask the housekeeper to prepare,” Ji Yanli asked.
“Tingyang, drive to Flaming Lily Restaurant. I want to eat out,” Lin Xu countered.
Ji Tingyang paused, then without asking Ji Yanli, he turned the steering wheel, and the car headed toward Flaming Lily Restaurant.
After all, mother’s authority at home was the greatest, and even father had to obediently listen to her.
After about fifteen minutes, the car stopped in front of Flaming Lily Restaurant.

Lin Xu got out of the car and did not wait for Ji Yanli, heading straight for the entrance.
Unexpectedly, someone was coming out and bumped right into Lin Xu.
She lost her balance and was about to fall to the side when two hands reached out and simultaneously caught her.
“Are you okay?” both voices asked in unison.
After telling Ji Yanli she was fine, Lin Xu turned to look at the other person, her pupils trembling slightly.
There was also a flicker of surprise in Ji Yanli’s usually composed eyes.
“I’m sorry, I was in a rush and bumped into you. Are you hurt?” the man asked humbly and politely.
Lin Xu, still in shock, stuttered a “I’m fine.”
The man breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at her, and then left.
A slightly delayed Ji Tingyang brushed past the man, his eyes also reflecting a shocked expression.
“That man… looks a lot like father,” Ji Tingyang said earnestly, glancing at Ji Yanli with an indeterminate expression.
At this point, Lin Xu had calmed down and started teasing Ji Tingyang.
Pretending to wipe tears from the corner of her eye, she scolded Ji Yanli, “I can’t believe you have an illegitimate child outside. If I hadn’t found out, were you never going to tell me?”
Ji Yanli: “…”
Ji Tingyang suddenly looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief.
“Don’t joke about that, the child might take it seriously,” Ji Yanli said helplessly.
Lin Xu smiled and turned to enter the restaurant.
Ji Tingyang, still stunned, remained outside.
Was this a joke?
But that man really did look like his father.
His mind was in chaos as he pulled out his phone to call his secretary, “Help me look up someone…”
The secretary was quick and soon reported back,
“President Ji, he is the young master of Xie Group, Xie Changyan.”
