Wen Yuan did not agree immediately, and her pause turned into hesitation in Ji Mingyi's eyes.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan? You don't want to help me? Isn't this the dock project you've always wanted?"

Ji Mingyi was right. It was indeed her who proposed investing in the wharf, and Ji Mingyi just intervened.

But when she learned that the antique collector she was looking for was Gao Yan, Wen Yuan was ready to give up the project.

Who would have thought that by some strange coincidence, Ji Mingyi, who was originally just doing this for fun, would regard this project as a life-saving straw to restore his dignity.

Ji Mingyi had helped Wen Yuan a lot, and it was rare for him to ask for help, so Wen Yuan couldn't refuse.

She was extremely reluctant in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Okay, I'll help you."

Ji Mingyi has countless bad friends, but among his partners, only Wen Yuan is the most trustworthy.

The grievances he suffered from Ji Minghe were smoothed out by Wen Yuan's words "I will help you".

"Xiao Yuan," Ji Mingyi was overwhelmed with emotion. He suddenly grabbed her hand and said half-seriously, "Be my girlfriend."

"......"

Ji Mingyi's old problem came back. Wen Yuan frowned and pulled his hand away: "Boss Ji, cooperation is cooperation, but if something else is mixed in, our cooperation will end here."

Ji Mingyi, who was confused, became more sober when he heard the words "termination of cooperation" as if a bucket of ice water was poured over him.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't, I was just joking, Xiao Yuan, you know I'm just like that, please forgive me."

Perhaps Ji Mingyi was not liked by his family since he was a child. He was not a person who cared too much about face. He could let go of things easily and apologized easily.

It is for this reason that Wen Yuan is willing to cooperate with him.

"Xiao Yuan, what do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want."

Ji Mingyi achieved his goal and did not forget to invite Wen Yuan to dinner tonight.

The bar was a bit noisy. At this time, many customers came in one after another. The dim and jumping lights, the surging and exciting music, and the twisting crowd made it difficult to whet one's appetite.

"Mr. Ji," Wen Yuan raised his voice because the music was too loud. "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Having known Wen Yuan for so long, Ji Mingyi naturally understood her character and did not try to force her to stay.

"Xiao Yuan, I'll leave the dock matters to you."

Ji Mingyi clasped his hands together with a pious attitude.

Wen Yuan nodded and left with his bag.

When she returned to Liwan No. 1, Ji Xingyao was gnawing on a chicken leg. Seeing her come back, he asked vaguely, "Why are you back?"

"We're done talking."

Ji Xingyao wiped his mouth and said, "Ah, I didn't know you were coming back, so I only ordered takeout for one person."

"It's okay. I had cake this afternoon. I'm not hungry."

"No, we work so hard, we must have a good dinner."

Ji Xingyao threw away the chicken leg in his hand and ran to the kitchen to look for ingredients.

"Go take a shower first, I'll make you dinner."

Back in the Yonghe Palace, when Wen Yuan was pregnant, Ji Xingyao was used to taking care of her, running around for her. If possible, she would have wanted to feed her food.

Ji Xingyao was busy in the kitchen for a while, and an hour later, she had prepared two dishes and a soup.

When Wen Yuan came downstairs wiping her hair, Ji Xingyao was sitting in the restaurant waving at her.

"Ayuan, the meal is ready."

Wen Yuan came to the dining table and sat down, taking a bite: "Hmm, delicious."

The two of them ate in silence for a while. Ji Xingyao couldn't hold back and asked, "Ayuan, what did Ji Mingyi want to see you about?"

"He wants to get the dock project and ask me to help."

"what?"

Ji Xingyao was stunned. If he wanted to get the dock project, he had to go to Gao Yan.

Wen Yuan didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but now he had no choice but to go to him.

"Are you going to look for Gao Yan?"

Wen Yuan scooped a spoonful of soup and said, "Well, Ji Mingyi has helped me a lot. Now that he has asked, I can't say no."

The debt of favor is very complicated. Only when there is give and take can there be the next cooperation.

Ji Xingyao was silent.

Wen Yuan doesn't like to procrastinate. After dinner, she opened the afternoon chat history and called Gao Yan directly.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. Wen?" Gao Yan was obviously a little surprised. It was probably because Wen Yuan had never called him on his own initiative before.

"Mr. Gao, are you free to have lunch together tomorrow?"

"Of course, I'm always free." Gao Yan agreed without any hesitation.

"great, see you tomorrow."

beep...

The phone was busy, but Gao Yan still didn't put it down.

Wen Xiaochuan raised his head: "Dad——"

no response.

"dad--"

Still no response.

Wen Xiaochuan curled his lips and thought, it's over, Dad is deaf and can't hear him anymore.

Just when Wen Xiaochuan was about to cry out in anxiety, Gao Yan suddenly threw away his cell phone and lifted Wen Xiaochuan above his head.

"Xiaochuan, Ayuan wants to have dinner with me, we are going to have dinner together!"

Wen Xiaochuan was lifted up high and spun around in circles. When Gao Yan stopped, he burst into tears: "That's great, Dad is not deaf--"

Gao Yan paused: "When did I become deaf?"

Wen Xiaochuan sobbed: "Just now."

"..."

Gao Yan placed Wen Xiaochuan steadily on the carpet and rubbed his face: "Dad was so happy when he received Mom's call that he didn't hear you speak."

"Oh~"

"Xiaochuan, Daddy is going to see Mommy tomorrow. What clothes should he wear? Xiaochuan, can you give Daddy some advice?"

"Yeah." Wen Xiaochuan nodded vigorously.

The father and son, who were so excited, worked hard until midnight and finally chose two sets of clothes, leaving the choice for tomorrow.

Liwan No. 1, Wen Yuan gets up at normal time and prepares for work.

Just as I got downstairs, Ji Xingyao suddenly stumbled out of the guest bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Wen Yuan asked.

Ji Xingyao was carrying a small suitcase and putting on her shoes in a hurry.

"I'm going to the capital."

"What are you going to the capital for?"

"The Metropolitan Police called me and said someone tried to install surveillance cameras in my house. That person was arrested and the police asked the homeowner to cooperate with the investigation."

Wen Yuan found the key points from multiple messages:

"But didn't you sell your house?"

Ji Xingyao had the same reaction when she received the call, but the police said that the house had not been transferred and she was still the nominal owner of the house.

"From the police's description, I think I know the person who was arrested. He was the stalker who stalked me before."

"What?" Wen Yuan's face darkened. "You were being followed. Why didn't you tell me?"

This was partly the reason why Ji Xingyao sold the house. Who would have thought that the man would be so desperate after being beaten last time and even dare to do something illegal like installing surveillance.

“I thought everything would be fine after I moved.”

Seeing Wen Yuan's grim expression, Ji Xingyao immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the police station to provide evidence and be back soon. I hate sasaeng fans the most. They insist on putting this scum of society in jail."

"Oh, forget it. My flight is at 10 o'clock and I'm almost late. I'm leaving now."

Ji Xingyao was blown away like a gust of wind, leaving Wen Yuan staring blankly.
