After get off work, Ji Xiao went home to change her clothes and put on some delicate makeup to make herself look more energetic and let her parents know that she is very happy now.

Jiang Yi was also sensible and took this opportunity to change into some decent clothes.

“He has quite the awareness of an actor.”

Ji Xiao sat in the passenger seat, looking at Jiang Yi who was driving.

He has a sunny appearance and usually wears casual clothes to work. This time, he specially changed into a black suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, looking a lot more mature.

“That's for sure. After all, I took your breakfast pay for a month.”

“You know what to do then, right?”

As soon as they got out of the car, Jiang Yi held Ji Xiao's hand.

“Don't worry, I have been in the love field for many years, I promise to perform it clearly for you!”

Walk into the living room.

“Young Madam is back!”

A little girl from somewhere shouted, and Ji Xiao's scalp suddenly went numb. Coincidentally, she met Gu Jin's gaze again, and she felt her legs go weak.

How come you are still so unambitious!

“Is Xiaoxiao here?”

“Aunt.” Ji Xiao called sweetly.

Mrs. Gu smiled, but her eyes fell on Jiang Yi next to Ji Xiao, “This...”

“Hello, auntie. I'm Xiaoxiao's boyfriend.”

Jiang Yi smiled and put his arm around Ji Xiao's shoulders.

Ji Xiao straightened her back. She could feel Gu Jin's gaze coming from behind her, forbearing and burning.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her son, then her eyes fell on the two of them and she laughed, “Okay, it looks like they are a perfect match.”

“I didn't expect our Xiaoxiao actually has a boyfriend. I'm so sad.”

A man walked out from the room on the right, holding his chest and looking at Ji Xiao with a look of heartache.

“Mingxuan?” Ji Xiao looked at him in surprise, then smiled happily, “When did you return to China? Why didn't you tell me?”

The relationship between the two had been very good before. At that time, Ji Xiao would usually tell Lu Mingxuan about whatever was on his mind. Even during the two years when he and Gu Jin went abroad, the two of them would often chat on WeChat.

Ji Xiao learned some things about Gu Jin from Lu Mingxuan.

“I heard that our Xiaoxiao was getting divorced, so I came back to pursue you. Unfortunately, I'm still a step too late. Alas...”

Mrs. Gu smiled and waved her hands, “Hey, please stop talking. Xiaoxiao is willing but I don't agree. You are a playboy, who can keep you here?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m not good, your son is the best~” Lu Mingxuan also smiled.

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Jin and sighed again, “What's the use of being good? The person arranged by the family doesn't want to be with him and insists on choosing someone from outside. “

Gu Jin, who was thinking about how to cut off Jiang Yi's arm that was hugging Ji Xiao, was suddenly called out. He straightened his expression and coughed, but his eyes still involuntarily turned to Ji Xiao.

Damn it, and I’m still hugging you!

“Madam, the meal is ready.” A servant came to report.

“Okay, let's all go eat first.”

When sitting down, Ji Xiao originally tried to find a seat close to Mrs. Gu and was about to ask Jiang Yi to sit next to him, but a hand skillfully pulled open the chair next to her and sat down.

“This location...”

“This is my house. I can sit wherever I want. Do you have any objection?”

Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and swallowed what he wanted to say next.

Okay, you are the boss in your family.

“Let's sit here, then.”

Ji Xiao simply stood up and pulled Jiang Yi to sit in a deserted seat on the side.

“Bang--”

The cups on the table were smashed with a loud bang.

“What's wrong? Why are you so angry?”

When Mr. Gu Sr walked into the restaurant with Mrs. Gu, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. His good son was staring at Ji Xiao closely, and that look seemed to be able to kill.

“Mr. Gu Sr.” Ji Xiao stood up and shouted.

Jiang Yi also stood up obediently and shouted along.

“Are you Xiaoxiao's boyfriend?”

“Yes uncle.”

Jiang Yi was not reserved at all and held Ji Xiao's hand openly.

Mr. Gu Sr looked them up and down, then nodded and asked everyone to sit down. After chatting for a few words, the topic finally fell on Ji Xiao.

“How did you and Xiaoxiao know each other?”

Ji Xiao's palms tightened. She was so nervous on the way here that she didn't think about how to respond to these questions. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi beside her spoke slowly.

“I met Xiaoxiao when I was in college. I had a crush on her at the time. Unfortunately, before I could confess my feelings, I went abroad for personal reasons. I stayed in France for a few years and finally decided to return to China to start my own business. Later, by chance, I met Xiaoxiao again. I thought it must be a second chance given to me by God, so I seized it and began to pursue her...”

As he spoke, Jiang Yi grabbed Ji Xiao's hand and looked at her with such affectionate eyes. If she didn't know it was fake, she would have believed it herself.

Of course, someone's already ugly face became even darker.

“Starting your own business? How is your company developing? What does it do?” Mr. Gu Sr nodded and then asked.

“It's developing smoothly now, and we're mainly doing real estate development.”

“Yeah.” Mr. Gu Sr looked at him in agreement. “I also started out in real estate in my early years, but the business world back then wasn't as mixed as it is now, so I had to be more careful in what I did.”

Jiang Yi nodded, “You are right.”

The table fell silent for a moment, and Ji Xiao picked up a few slices of meat for Jiang Yi.

“There is one more thing. You should know that Xiaoxiao was married to my son before, right?”

Mr. Gu Sr brought up this matter out of the blue, and Ji Xiao almost subconsciously looked over to Gu Jin, but happened to meet the visitor's gaze. When their eyes met, Ji Xiao quickly lowered his head and turned his gaze away.

“I know, but I don't mind. As long as Xiaoxiao and I love each other, no matter what happened before, I don't mind.”

Jiang Yi looked infatuated again, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Ji Xiao was so gentle that it could squeeze water out of him.

Ji Xiao got goose bumps all over his body.

“Although they are divorced, we all treat Xiaoxiao as our own daughter. Since she brought you here today, it means she recognizes you. I hope you can treat her well.” Mr. Gu Sr said, and paused. “If you encounter any problems in your business in the future, you can come to me and we will help you a little.”

Ji Xiao's eyes suddenly warmed up. Mr. Gu Sr wanted to use the Gu family to guarantee her happiness.

“Are you going to eat?”

Gu Jin's impatient voice suddenly came from the side.

“We've been busy chatting. Let's eat quickly.” Mrs. Gu came out to smooth things over.

During the meal, Jiang Yi was like, for some reason, peeling shrimps for her, picking up vegetables for her, and even feeding them to her with his own hands. After the meal, she was almost dying from Gu Jin's eyes.

I found an excuse and went out for some fresh air.

But no one noticed that not long after Ji Xiao left, Gu Jin also quietly left the table.

The Gu family's old house is far away from the city. There is a yard behind the living room. Because Mrs. Gu has been in poor health for many years, many green plants are planted in it. A little to the right is a vegetable garden. In the past, Ji Xiao often accompanied Mrs. Gu to water and fertilize.
