A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Jiang Yi took the bouquet from Chi Ruiche, who then turned and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Can I... hug you?" Chi Ruiche asked cautiously.

Jiang Yi's lips curled up, suppressing a laugh, "Didn't you already hug him?"

Chi Ruiche gently stroked Jiang Yi's face, a doting smile inadvertently appearing on his face. "Yi Yi, I missed you so much."

Jiang pointed a finger at his heart, raised her chin slightly, and pouted her lips, "Keep performing."

"Let's go, weren't you going to see me off?" Jiang Yi was like a spoiled little princess, appearing serious on the surface, but her eyes held a mischievous glint in them, and she was already overjoyed inside.

"it is good."

Chi Ruiche put the pink down jacket on her, and then, as if by magic, pulled a white hat and a fluffy scarf from his pocket, making her fair skin look even softer. The simplest colors blended into her beauty, making Chi Ruiche's heart flutter.

Chi Ruiche naturally took Jiang Yi's hand. His palm was warm and broad, enveloping her with an electric current.

Jiang paused, her heart racing again. She had no time for anything else, but Chi Ruiche silently intensified his movements, not giving her a chance to break free.

When Jiang returned to the old house, Aunt Meng waited at the gate to set off firecrackers to pay homage to the heavens, praying for peace.

Light candles, burn incense, pray, and kowtow. Grandpa Jiang, leaning on his cane, patted Jiang Yi's body with a red cloth. Although it was a pat, the movement was very light. After all this was done, Jiang Yi took the tea that Aunt Meng was holding and drank it all in one gulp, which was considered the end of it.

"Xiao Che, you've worked hard. Let's have lunch together." Jiang Yi took her grandfather's arm and skipped around a few times to show him that she had fully recovered.

"Let's eat together."

A hint of surprise appeared on Chi Ruiche's expressionless face. He quickly walked to Jiang Yi's side, getting very close, and kept unintentionally touching the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Yi did not refuse, which put Chi Ruiche's mind at ease a little.

"Grandpa, I'm going to the company tomorrow too. If I don't go soon, they'll almost forget about me," Jiang Yi said after Chi Ruiche left.

"No rush, wait until you've fully recovered before going. Your brother is at the company." Grandpa Jiang naturally didn't want her to overwork herself.

“The GE executive is here. I don’t want to leave my first collaboration to someone else for hospitality. And Grandpa, do you remember our agreement?” Jiang Yi said solemnly, his smile fading.

Grandpa Jiang took a small sip of tea, pressing the steaming cup to his lips as he gently blew on it, his face showing enjoyment of the aroma. "Yi-yi, are you really sure you've thought this through? Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Grandpa, didn't we already agree on this? You're not going to change your mind at the last minute, are you?"

At this moment, Youjun walked over with the documents and handed them to Jiang Yi, saying, "Miss."

"After you sign it, you can submit it for their review, but it won't be ready before the end of the year."

Grandpa Jiang nodded kindly, his eyes full of concern, "Xiao Yi, what you're doing is nothing but a gamble."

"I won't lose." Jiang Yi straightened his back, smiled, and calmly signed his name with the pen in his hand. With a slight smile, his confident smile ignited the entire room.

Grandpa Jiang watched Jiang Yi closely. Every gesture he made seemed to tell him that Jiang Yi trusted Chi Ruiche, and that their generation should have a good future.

"I heard that you've been ignoring Xiao Che lately." Grandpa Jiang seized the opportunity to deliberately provoke Jiang Yi.

"No way, my brother told you." Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and coughed twice guiltily.

Grandpa Jiang patted her back helplessly, "Slow down."

"I'm so thirsty," Jiang Yishun said, trying to catch his breath. "Grandpa, do you also think what I did was wrong?"

"I'm old, and I don't understand the joys of you young people dating. But seeing Xiao Che's cautious and timid manner today made me a little emotional." Grandpa Jiang saw right through the two of them.

Jiang Yi stroked the bracelet. "Yes, he's too cautious."

Grandpa Jiang fiddled with the asparagus fern on his desk. "This is a personality he developed since he was a child. It's not so easy to change. If he really did change, would he still be himself?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
