The two brought their children to a clothing store and carefully selected some suitable clothes for them.

Then they found a restaurant nearby that looked good.

The children happily went to wash and get ready. When everything was arranged, Tao Jiuxi went downstairs to pay the bill, but was told that Ji Qingyi had already paid the bill.

Tao Jiuxi looked outside the store and saw Ji Qingyi standing with his hands behind his back, his moon-white clothes fluttering gently in the wind. The last rays of the setting sun fell on his shoulders like golden gauze, outlining a peaceful and beautiful picture.

Tao Jiuxi slowly walked behind him and said softly, "I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting."

Her voice was soft, like the breeze blowing across the strings of a harp.

Ji Qingyi turned around, a smile in his eyes, and asked softly, "Is the girl settled?"

"Yeah." Tao Jiuxi nodded slightly.

"I've asked the waiter to bring them food later. Let's go back." Ji Qingyi said with a smile, his eyes showing gentleness.

"Well, it's time to go back."

"My uncle told us to have dinner outside before going back." Ji Qingyi continued.

"what?"

Tao Jiuxi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel that her father was so thoughtful. He had explained all these details one by one, and he was really worried about her marriage.

"Why don't we go to the one we met today?" Ji Qingyi suggested.

"Wangyue Tower?" Tao Jiuxi asked doubtfully.

"Well, I heard before I came here that the food at Wangyue Tower is very unique and delicious, but I have never been there." Ji Qingyi said slowly. He thought to himself that since it was his first time taking his fiancée out for dinner, he should naturally choose a better place.

"Okay... okay."

Tao Jiuxi hesitated for a moment. She had just had lunch with the waiters in the store at noon, but seeing Ji Qingyi's enthusiastic look, she just thought that Ji Qingyi wanted to eat. After all, guests are welcome, so she happily agreed.

The two of them got on the carriage again and slowly drove towards Wangyue Tower.

"You've been busy for so long, have some water. This is the new tea we just bought at the restaurant." Ji Qingyi said gently, and then skillfully poured a cup of tea for Tao Jiuxi.

At this time, Tao Jiuxi was indeed thirsty due to being busy. She took the warm tea, felt the perfect temperature, and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.

"Thank you."

Just after finishing the drink, Ji Qingyi naturally took Tao Jiuxi's cup, poured another cup and handed it to her, gently reminding her: "Drink slowly, the carriage is bumpy, don't choke."

When Ji Qingyi spoke, his originally carefree look was now filled with tenderness, as if Tao Jiuxi was a child who needed his careful care.

When Tao Jiuxi heard this and saw Ji Qingyi treating her so considerately, she couldn't help but pause and felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness in her heart. She slowly lowered her head and took a sip from the teacup.

I just hope the carriage can run faster.

At this moment, she felt a little anxious. She had never contacted Shen Zhiyi on her own initiative before. Every time, it was Shen Zhiyi who took the initiative to contact her. Now she just hoped that Shen Zhiyi would show up soon and explain everything between them to Ji Qingyi as soon as possible so that she would no longer feel guilty.

Ji Qingyi looked at Tao Jiuxi who had stopped drinking tea and stretched out his hand.

"Xi'er, give it to me."

Tao Jiuxi seemed a little flustered because he felt guilty. His hands moved a little too roughly and he accidentally spilled some tea, which happened to fall on the hem of Ji Qingyi's clothes.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yi."

Tao Jiuxi hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it.

Ji Qingyi allowed Tao Jiuxi to do what he wanted, without any blame on his face. He just put the cup aside and asked with a smile, "It's okay, Xier, are you nervous being alone with me?"

“No… I’m not nervous…”

Tao Jiuxi secretly complained in his heart: It’s not that I’m nervous, it’s that I feel guilty.

Ji Qingyi looked at Tao Jiuxi, who was obviously nervous but still trying to argue cutely, and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, you're not nervous, I'm nervous."

After hearing this, Tao Jiuxi could only bury his head even lower, trying to hide his inner panic and entanglement.

Ji Qingyi thought Tao Jiuxi was too shy, so he gently comforted her, "I've lived in the borderland for a long time, where there are few women. If my words or actions make you dissatisfied, just tell me. After all, we will be together in the future, so you just need to do what you feel comfortable with and don't worry too much."

There was sincerity in his eyes and his tone was full of concern and tolerance.

Tao Jiuxi felt even more guilty, but she didn't dare to say it directly at this moment. If her words were not right, Shen Zhiyi and Ji Qingyi might have difficulty getting along.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi still silent, Ji Qingyi just smiled softly, leaning against the carriage window, gazing at her with passionate eyes. He thought to himself, if they spend some more time together, everything will be fine. If Xier is still this cute after marriage, then every day in the future will surely be full of fun.

The carriage continued driving for a long time before the two finally arrived at the Moon Watching Tower.

This time, Ji Qingyi jumped off the carriage nimbly as he did before, and then stood steadily beside the carriage. He stood as straight as a pine tree, looking in the direction of the carriage, and slowly stretched out his hand towards Tao Jiuxi who was about to get off. His hand was slender and white, with distinct joints, and his fingers were slightly bent, waiting for Tao Jiuxi's hand.

Tao Jiuxi had just stepped out of the carriage when he saw Ji Qingyi like this.

She was slightly stunned, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

She bit her lip subconsciously, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her skirt, thinking to herself: What should I do? Next time I should get out of the carriage first.

Or jump from the other side?

No, it's a bit high, she's not that flexible...

Her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and she didn't know how to respond.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

"Sister Xi'er?"

When Tao Jiuxi heard the voice, he suddenly raised his head and his eyes instantly met Xie Jinghuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Xie Jinghuan also got off the carriage next to him. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw Tao Jiuxi who had just stepped out of the carriage. His eyes lit up instantly. He hadn't seen Tao Jiuxi for more than two months.

I met you here by chance today.

He opened his lips slightly as if he wanted to speak, but he choked up when he saw the man who was about to greet Tao Jiuxi as he got off the car.

Hearing someone calling his fiancée so affectionately, Ji Qingyi frowned slightly. He turned around and saw that it was Xie Jinghuan. He said with a hint of surprise, "Jinghuan."

As Ji Qingyi called out, Xie Jinghuan also saw the man's face clearly.

He was filled with shock and surprise. He never expected that the person traveling with Tao Jiuxi was actually his cousin.

"Cousin?"
