Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Song Zhai.

After Shadow finished his report, he did not leave quickly as usual, but stood there hesitantly.

"Anything else?" Song Huai turned his gaze towards him in confusion.

Even Song Jinbai was curious. What could have happened that made him so conflicted? He had been standing there for a long time without saying a word.

Shadow still had no expression on his face, but he finally told the truth: "Sir, Miss Ji will go to Changyin Pavilion this afternoon."

Song Huai smiled nonchalantly and said, "Oh, I thought it was such a big deal! Is this enough for you to worry about it for so long?"

Shadow slowly uttered six words: "With Jun Xianlan."

As soon as these six words were spoken, the room instantly became silent.

"You big block of ice, when did you learn to talk and gasp?" Song Huai said angrily, punching Shadow. "Such important news, how could you wait until now to report it to the adults!"

This blockhead, does he know how much effort the adults put into getting to where he is now with Miss Ji? How could he let that pretty boy Jun Xianlan ruin it! I really want to beat this idiot to death!

"Sir." The shadow flashed and easily dodged a punch, waiting for Song Jinbai's next instructions.

Song Jinbai waved his hand, signaling Shadow to withdraw. Shadow obeyed and left quickly.

Song Huai jumped in front of Song Jinbai, becoming anxious and speaking incoherently. "Sir, that peacock has bad intentions! When Miss Ji saw that he had a woman's face, she wanted him to marry her. Now that he has recovered from the poison, what is he trying to do by approaching Miss Ji? Sir, you must be alert and don't let that pretty boy get the upper hand!"

What else could he do by approaching her? Nuan'er was like a rare treasure covered in dust, and Song Jinbai wasn't the only one with discerning eyes. Hadn't he also initially rejected her, only to be deeply attracted to her later? Jun Xianlan could certainly be in the same boat.

Thinking of this, Song Jinbai said in a deep voice: "Go to the top floor of Tianshangxianjiang and reserve it. I will need it tomorrow night."

The Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon.

Fushenglou deliberately closed for the morning, and all the staff first carefully cleaned every corner of the building, inside and out. Then they plated the cakes sent by Ji Shan and the watermelon and grapes sent by Ji Nuan.

By the time everything was ready, it was almost the end of noon.

Mrs. Chen brought Chen Rong to Fusheng Tower early.

All the ladies and young ladies from various families were invited by Madam Chen, and today's garment show was related to the Chen family's business, so Madam Chen naturally took on the responsibility of receiving the ladies who came to the appointment today.

As soon as Chen Rong arrived, she smiled and held Ji Nuan's hand tightly.

Mrs. Chen looked at the orderly arrangement in the lobby and felt a little apologetic.

"Nuannuan, am I not late?"

Ji Nuan smiled and shook her head. "Madam, look, none of the guests have arrived yet. How can we be considered late?" She continued, "Madam, the female guests who will arrive later will all be relying on you to entertain them. If you need anything, just tell the maid to find the waiter. I have already made all the arrangements."

The two men talked for a few more words about the arrangements for the upcoming guests. At this time, the two ladies came over with their daughters.

Mrs. Chen hurried forward enthusiastically, her face filled with smiles. "Xiangxiang, Chengyun, you're finally here! I'm counting on you two to help me later!"

She turned to look at the three girls who came with her, her eyes full of love and admiration, "Oh, look at these girls! I haven't seen them for a while, and they've become even prettier!"

The three girls were a little embarrassed by Mrs. Chen's words. Chen Rong, who often played with them, let go of Ji Nuan and moved closer to chat with them in a low voice.

"You say the same thing every time we meet. They're not tired of hearing it, but I am." The tall and handsome Qi Xiangxiang said with a smile, looking at Ji Nuan curiously, "Why don't you introduce us to that beautiful girl? Who is she?"

Madam Chen patted her forehead and smiled, "Look at me, I was so happy to see you that I forgot to introduce you." As she spoke, she pulled Ji Nuan over affectionately, as if she were one of her own juniors, "Nuan Nuan, these two are my good sisters. I specially asked them to help entertain the guests today. This is Madam Wang from the Jinxiang Escort Agency. You can call her Aunt Xiangxiang like Rong'er does. This is Headmistress An from Yanzhixiang. You can call her Aunt An."

Mrs. Chen looked at the lady who had just spoken and said to the other lady with a gentle appearance.

Ji Nuan bowed to the two of them as a junior, "Junior Ji Nuan greets the two ladies."

The two ladies were naturally delighted to see such a good-looking person, who was about the same age as their own children.

An Chengyun held Ji Nuan's hand, her eyes full of admiration. She turned to ask Mrs. Chen, "Oh, this is the Nuan Nuan you often mentioned to me, right? Look at her little face, so delicate that makes people envious. My Qiao Qiao is about the same age as you, I'm sure you two will be able to talk to each other."

Qi Xiangxiang's family runs an escort agency. She learned martial arts since she was young. After getting married, she followed her husband to run the escort business. She still often escorts the goods herself, and her martial arts skills have never been wasted over the years.

She heard from Madam Chen that Ji Nuan was also proficient in martial arts, and her two daughters had been learning martial arts from her since they were young. Qi Xiangxiang felt that they would definitely be able to get along well.

So, she called out to her two daughters, "Yunchan, Yunshan, you girls are just busy chatting and laughing together, but you have left your sister Nuannuan aside."

Chen Rong then remembered that she was so excited to see her sisters that she had completely forgotten about her sister Nuannuan.

At this moment, she hurriedly introduced Ji Nuan to the sisters, "Sister Qiao Qiao, Sister Yun Chan, Sister Yun Shan, this is Sister Nuan Nuan that I often mentioned to you. She's so powerful, even my eldest brother's martial arts master was defeated by her! Hey, did you see the little butterfly on my head?"

She pointed to the butterfly hairpin on her head, nodded and shook her head deliberately, making the butterfly's wings flutter above her head. She smiled proudly and said, "Sister Nuannuan gave it to me! Isn't it beautiful?"

"Wow, it's so beautiful with all the twinkling lights!" Wang Yunshan couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement. She turned around and took Ji Nuan's hand, saying coquettishly, "Sister Nuannuan, tell me quickly, where did you buy this? I want to buy one too."

Several girls aged fourteen or fifteen quickly became familiar with Ji Nuan because of this small hairpin.
