A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

As Yu Qingcheng watched Chi Ruiche's retreating figure, her proud self-esteem was dampened by a sense of defeat.

Actually, she didn't have a good impression of Chi Ruiche. This man always had a cold and aloof demeanor, and his expression was unreadable. His voice was also devoid of warmth, which made people feel intimidated.

But his family background and status were unparalleled in the entire Xijing, so how could such a person not be attractive?

"Didn't you need to buy some things? Why did you come down?"

Chi Ruiche's tone was much gentler as he draped his coat over Jiang Yi's shoulders. In May, the temperature difference between day and night in Xijing was quite large.

"I noticed you've been late, so you've been on a date!" Jiang glanced at Yu Qingcheng, who hadn't left.

After mentally preparing herself, Yu Qingcheng took the initiative to walk over. She discovered that one of them was the eldest son of the Jiang family, and the other was…

"Long time no see, Miss Yu."

Jiang Yang saw Yu Qingcheng approaching and stepped forward to block Jiang Yi.

"My tire is flat, and I would like to ask Mr. Chi for a ride."

Yu Qingcheng stopped being coy and looked at Chi Ruiche with a gentle tone. Her beautiful face and signature smile were irresistible to most people.

"I'm going that way anyway, I wonder if Miss Yu would give me a chance."

Jiang Yang didn't want Jiang Yi to show her face, and Jiang Yi understood, so she turned her back and took out her phone to look at it.

Yu Qingcheng kept her eyes on Chi Ruiche, but Chi Ruiche didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye, so she could only reluctantly look away: "Then I'll trouble Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Yang gestured for her to leave, and Yu Qingcheng had no choice but to go, but looking at the person with his back to her, her eyes were full of doubt.

Seeing Jiang Yang and Yu Qingcheng get into the car, Chi Ruiche patted Jiang Yi: "Let's go."

"it is good."

Jiang Yi understood Jiang Yang's meaning. She had just returned to the country and it was not advisable for too many people to know. After all, her agreement with her grandfather was for a year later, and she still needed to be careful.

"I need to buy some changes of clothes."

Jiang Yi felt a little embarrassed, especially since she needed to buy underwear, and her already slightly tipsy face felt even redder.

Chi Ruiche understood Jiang Yi's meaning. When they arrived at the lingerie store, he said, "Go in, I'll wait for you outside." In his 27 years of life, this was the first time Chi Ruiche had ever accompanied a girl shopping.

"Hmm." Chi Ruiche handed her a card, and Jiang Yi was about to refuse.

"Use the same password as your phone, no need to save me any trouble." Chi Ruiche didn't give Jiang Yi a chance to refuse.

Jiang Yi quickly went inside, told the clerk her size, picked out a few items, and paid. Chi Ruiche watched Jiang Yi come out and took the shopping bag from her.

"Let's buy a few outfits. What kind do you like?"

Chi Ruiche glanced at Jiang Yi, who was still wearing his short-sleeved shirt, which was a bit loose.

"This one will do."

Jiang Yi wasn't planning on wearing women's clothing yet. She followed Chi Ruiche to a boutique with a unisex style. As soon as they entered, the staff greeted them warmly.

Jiang glanced around and randomly picked out a few sets to change into. She had brought clothes with her when she came back, but her suitcase was lost, so she couldn't find any of her clothes.

Jiang Yi spotted a pair of shoes with a classic black and white color scheme, a monogram design, and a subtle small logo. A salesperson came over to introduce them.

"Hello, if you like it, you can try it on with your size. This can be a matching couple's item."

"Like this?"

Chi Ruiche suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi didn't know if Chi Ruiche had heard the shop assistant say "couple's style".

"If you like it, buy it."

Chi Ruiche noticed that Jiang Yi remained silent.

"what?"

Jiang Yi was speechless after hearing Chi Ruiche's words. She subconsciously licked her lips, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"I'm a little sleepy, let's go." Jiang Yi didn't want to continue. Since she had already bought everything, there was no need to shop around anymore.

"it is good."

The shop assistant packed the card and shopping bag and handed them to Chi Ruiche. Chi Ruiche naturally took the shopping bag, seemingly ignoring the bank card. Jiang Yi reluctantly accepted it.

"Welcome to visit again!"

The shop assistant saw them out. Jiang Yi looked at the two pairs of shoes and thought to herself that she was just overthinking things.

Chi Ruiche opened the car door for Jiang Yi: "Princess, please get in the car."

"Yes, Mr. Chi."

Jiang Yi laughed out loud at his joke.

Chi Ruiche put the things he bought in the trunk, took out a set of clothes he had prepared in advance, and changed out of his white shirt. He was worried that Jiang Yi would get carsick because of the smell of hot pot and tobacco.

Seeing that Chi Ruiche hadn't gotten into the car yet, Jiang Yi looked back and saw Chi Ruiche shirtless. Jiang Yi quickly turned back, her heart racing. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Chi Ruiche opened the car door and had already changed into a shirt. Due to the poor lighting, Chi Ruiche could not see Jiang Yi's nervous expression.

"Xiao Yi, we're not going to Imperial Blue Bay today."

"Where to go?"

"Keep it a secret for now."

Chi Ruiche's tone was full of doting affection as he led Jiang Yi out of the parking lot.

When I arrived it was still daytime, but now the moon is high in the sky, and the neon lights are flashing everywhere, with the lights of the high-rise buildings reflecting each other.

As the car emerged from the tunnel, towering trees lined both sides of the road, resembling soldiers with unyielding spirits in the darkness, while the dim streetlights created an atmosphere of another world.

Chi Ruiche drove into the green forest and entered a gate. This was one of the villa areas in Xijing, where each house was a detached house with excellent privacy.

The gate was slowly opened, and Chi Ruiche drove it all the way to the door before stopping. At that moment, all the lights in the villa came on, and several people hurriedly ran out.

"Young Master, you're back." Uncle Wang ran over, took the car keys, and parked the car in the underground garage.

Uncle Wang is Chi Ruiche's driver; he waits here since he has no scheduled activities.

"Young Master, as you instructed, the bathwater has been prepared." A maid stood with her hands in front of her and her head bowed.

"Xiao Yi, let them take you to wash up. We'll sleep here tonight."

Chi Ruiche originally thought of returning to his small apartment, but then he considered the differences between men and women, so he could only return to this place.

"it is good."

Jiang Yi wasn't surprised when Chi Ruiche arranged a villa for him; after all, he had everything he wanted these days.

Chi Ruiche handed the new clothes to another maid to wash and dry. Jiang Yi looked at the huge living room and followed the maid upstairs.

Upon entering the bathroom, you'll find marble walls with mirrors, a large bathtub filled with water, and all the toiletries you might need. The floor is covered with a soft carpet, making it comfortable and warm to walk on barefoot.

Jiang Yi looked at her clothes and saw that there were several oil spots. She had been shopping with Chi Ruiche for so long. What about her image?

Regardless of anything else, the water temperature was just right, and the fatigue of the past few days was somewhat relieved.

Chi Ruiche also went upstairs, quickly took a shower, changed into a set of pajamas, replied to a few emails, looked at an acquisition contract, and then went to find Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi looked at the clothes she had prepared in advance, took a dry towel to dry her wet hair, and then heard a knock on the door.

"Xiaoyi."

As soon as Jiang opened the door, she saw Chi Ruiche dressed in gray pajamas, his usually neat bangs hanging down. This Chi Ruiche was different from his usual image, and he actually had a sunny boy vibe.

"Why didn't you blow-dry your hair? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Chi Ruiche pulled Jiang Yi to the bathroom mirror and took out a hair dryer from the bottom shelf.

Chi Ruiche felt the temperature with his hand, then ran his fingertips through Jiang Yi's wet hair and began to blow-dry it.

Jiang Yi was a little embarrassed, and her tone was a bit coquettish: "Che, I can do it myself."

She stretched out her left hand, but the height difference left her somewhat helpless, so she had to turn around.

With this turn, Jiang Yi bumped directly into Chi Ruiche's arms. Chi Ruiche, who was 190 cm tall, was taller than her, and Chi Ruiche hesitated with the hand holding the hair dryer.

The two were now so close they could hear each other's heartbeats, and Jiang Yi's breath caught in her throat. If they were any closer, she could feel herself touching Chi Ruiche's neck.

"Don't move, that's enough."

Chi Ruiche spoke slowly in a deep voice, his hand lingering on her hair for a moment before putting away the hairdryer and taking a step back. The soft light in the bathroom prevented them from noticing each other's slightly red ears.

"The room is ready, I'll take you there."

Chi Ruiche didn't look at Jiang Yi again and went straight out the door. Jiang Yi followed behind and went around the corridor to a bedroom.

The room was simply furnished, with a wool carpet on the floor and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the garden outside. However, the furnishings felt somewhat similar to her bedroom at home.

Moonlight shone through the silk curtains, giving the room a tranquil feel.
