Don't meet me in your next life.

"Yes," Shen Che replied respectfully. "Then you can go first, I'll go get the car."

Ji Jinnian nodded: "Mm."

Then, he pulled Xiang Yi along and led her to the other side.

Seeing this, Shen Che panicked: "Young Master Ji, I haven't gotten in the car yet."

"No need." Ji Jinnian waved his hand without turning around. "You should get in the car quickly."

"..."

He watched Ji Jinnian and Xiang Yiyi's retreating figures, his eyes narrowing as he stomped his foot in frustration.

He turned around, glanced around, and after finding nothing amiss, got into the car and quickly drove away.

In the car, Xiang Yi looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ji Jinnian smiled slightly: "I just happened to be passing by."

Xiang Yi curled her lip, saying disbelievingly, "Weren't you in a meeting?"

“I’m done,” Ji Jinnian said, turning the car onto another street.

"It's over?" Xiang Yi was taken aback. "Then why are you still here?"

Ji Jinnian smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up."

Xiang Yi frowned: "But..."

"There are no 'buts'," Ji Jinnian declared domineeringly, "I've made up my mind; I'm going to pursue you."

"Huh?" Xiang Yi exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise. "Young Master Ji, what did you say?"

"What, you don't want to?"

"Of course not..." Xiang Yi's lips twitched. "But we've only known each other for a day, I feel..."

“A day apart feels like three autumns. I believe that soon we will become lovers who feel the same way about each other,” Ji Jinnian said confidently.

Xiang Yiyi's face darkened.

A day apart feels like three autumns?

What kind of ridiculous excuse is that?!

"But I feel like we've only known each other for a day."

"It's okay, you can get to know me slowly, and then fall in love with me." Ji Jinnian looked confident.

Xiang Yiyi: "..."

She sounds like she's being kept by a sugar daddy!

but......

Forget it! Anyway, I'm already Ji Jinnian's fiancée, so I'll just let him bully me like this for a while!

Hmph, she's not at a disadvantage anyway!

She doesn't want to fall in love with him!

Xiang Yi made a silent vow in her heart.

Seeing her silence, Ji Jinnian assumed she was thinking, so he continued to persuade her, "Yi Yi, think it over. Let's go home now and discuss the details of the engagement."

"No need to discuss it!" Xiang Yi interrupted him. "Our affairs are none of your concern. I have my own opinions. You should just quietly be your fiancé."

“That won’t do.” Ji Jinnian frowned. “If you marry me, we’ll be engaged, and our fates will be intertwined.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi's face immediately turned ugly. She glared at him and demanded, "Ji Jinnian, don't you know shame?"

"..." Xiang Yi was speechless, she was almost about to vomit blood.

Her eyes widened, and she glared at him angrily. "Don't you like gentle and virtuous girls like Gu Weiwei?"

"That's all just appearances!" Ji Jinnian said seriously. "I like girls with personality like you."

"What about Gu Weiwei?"

"I'll handle it."

Xiang Yiyi: "..."

Is this guy brain-dead?

"Are you sure you really won't fall for Gu Weiwei?" Xiang Yi couldn't help but ask again.

Ji Jinnian thought for a moment, then nodded and said firmly, "I'm sure."

Xiang Yi rolled her eyes: "I don't believe it!"

She didn't believe that someone like Gu Weiwei could be so devoted to Ji Jinnian!

Ji Jinnian raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I believe you."

Xiang Yi choked.

She stared at Ji Jinnian with wide eyes, looking at him as if to say, "Who are you trying to fool?"

Ji Jinnian neither confirmed nor denied it.

He suddenly slammed on the brakes, stopping in front of a restaurant. He turned to Yi Yi and said, "We're here. You can get out now; I'll wait for you."

Xiang Yi glanced at the sign in front of the restaurant, somewhat puzzled: "Why did you bring me here?"

"I'll treat you to dinner," Ji Jinnian said with a smile.

"I'm busy," Xiang Yi shook her head and refused. "You're treating, don't you need to pay?"

“What’s mine is yours. You’re making such a fuss over treating my fiancée to dinner,” Ji Jinqing said with a smile.

Xiang Yi was rendered speechless by his words.

Ji Jinnian got out of the car, opened the door for Xiang Yi, and held out his hand: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

Xiang Yi ignored him and got out of the car.

She walked towards the glass doors of the restaurant and immediately spotted Ji Jinnian sitting by the window, elegantly sipping red wine.

This guy actually turned such a high-class restaurant into a bar, what a waste!

"Hey~~" Xiang Yi shouted.

Ji Jinnian turned his head and saw Xiang Yiyi.

He smiled and said, "You've arrived."

As Xiang Yi entered the restaurant, a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes as she looked at the dazzling array of ingredients on the table.

She sat down, looked around, and frowned. "Did you have everything here prepared?"

“Yes.” Ji Jinnian picked up his knife and fork, cut a piece of steak, and placed it in front of Xiang Yiyi. “How is it? It tastes good, doesn’t it?”

Xiang Yi glanced at the piece of beef, then at Ji Jinnian's captivating, almost electrifying eyes. She awkwardly looked away and said, "It's alright."

Ji Jinnian raised an eyebrow: "Really? Maybe it's because I haven't mastered it yet. I'll make it for you once I've learned how."

Xiang Yiyi: "..."

She couldn't help but wonder: Had Ji Jinnian ever actually been in a relationship? What was he thinking, saying that?!

However, she was indeed amazed.

"Wow, really!" Xiaotian jumped up from the seat next to her and said excitedly, "We can try learning to cook. I believe we can be as loving as Uncle Ji and Mom in the future!"

"You like to eat this?" Xiang Yi was a little surprised. This girl is quite capable.

"I like it." Xiang Yi smiled.

"Then you can learn from me and make it for your husband in the future."

Xiang Yi was stunned: "...What did you say?"

“I mean, I’ll cook for you from now on,” Ji Jinnian said naturally.

"..." Xiang Yi's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but think to herself: Who do you think you are!

"You want to learn?" Ji Jinnian asked, raising an eyebrow when she didn't speak for a while.

“I want to learn.” Xiang Yi nodded, then said, “But I don’t have time to teach you.”

"I will teach you the parts you don't understand."

"..." Xiang Yi curled her lip speechlessly, "You'd better save your breath, I don't want to teach you."

Ji Jinnian looked at her with a smile: "That won't do. We're married now, how can I not learn to cook? I can't afford to make you starve!"

Xiang Yi said helplessly, "I'm really fed up with you. Then teach me what dish to make."

Ji Jinnian raised an eyebrow and then said, "Tell me first, do we have the same tastes or different tastes?"

"It's different, you like it spicy."

"And you?" Ji Jinnian asked.

Xiang Yi thought for a moment, then said seriously, "It's sour."

Ji Jinnian: "......"

She actually said he liked sour food, so sour that it gave him a toothache!
