Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Zhan Luya quickly stepped in front of Jin Xi and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Changxian, why don't you come to my house for lunch today? And could you please take me to my exam this afternoon?"

"That's great, that's great! This important day should be spent with the people you care about." Qin Yimo smiled broadly, clearly a fan of the couple.

Zhan Luya lowered her head shyly, looking somewhat bashful.

Xi Ling Chang pursed his lips, looked up at Jin Xi, who was playing with Youyou.

“Um…” Xiling Changxian lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then reluctantly agreed, “Okay.”

"Alright, alright, let's go back then. We still have exams this afternoon. After dinner, Yaya, you should get some rest. You need to give it your all for the afternoon exams." Qin Yimo held Zhan Luya's hand, and seeing that Xiling Changxian was treating Zhan Luya well, she felt relieved.

"Little aunt, why don't you come to the Zhan family manor for a meal?" Yoyo suddenly invited Jinxi to dine at the Zhan family manor.

Qin Yimo was stunned, completely unexpected that Yoyo would invite Jinxi.

Neither she nor Ya Ya liked Jin Xi, but since it was her beloved granddaughter who invited her, she couldn't very well stop her.

They could only feign extreme reluctance, hoping to make Jinxi back down.

After all, Xiling Changxian was their future son-in-law, meaning he was family, while she was just an outsider.

Would I be worthy to eat with them?

"Let's go together."

Zhan Guiting actually spoke, his tone filled with gentle affection.

Zhan Weiguo was shocked, feeling that this was too abnormal.

Zhan Guiting dislikes strangers, yet this time he actually invited an outsider to his home for dinner. It's unclear whether it was because of YoYo or some other reason.

Zhan Luya, dissatisfied, grabbed Qin Yimo's arm and shook it a few times, trying to get Qin Yimo to stop this.

However, Qin Yimo did not do so, because it was not someone else who invited her, but YoYo.

"No need, my parents, brother and sister are all waiting for me at home." Jinxi refused directly.

Yoyo opened her arms and rushed into Jinxi's embrace.

Zhan Guiting let go of her hand, allowing Youyou to fall into Jinxi's arms.

"Come on, come on, little auntie, come on, yoyo loves little auntie the most, little auntie is beautiful, yoyo likes little auntie, wants to have dinner with little auntie."

The little one clung tightly to Jinxi's neck, refusing to let go, truly treating Jinxi like her own aunt, snuggling in her arms and acting spoiled.

"Since Yoyo has invited us, let's go together. We all know each other, and you and our YaYa are classmates with similar interests, so we'll definitely have a lot in common."

"Who can talk to her?" Zhan Luya muttered under her breath, afraid that Ximen Changxian would hear her and damage her image in his eyes.

Qin Yimo glared at Zhan Weiguo, "You're so good with words, nobody else can say them!"

Zhan Weiguo awkwardly shut his mouth.

I'm not going to say anything more.

Qin Yimo didn't want to waste any more time and wanted to go forward and pick up Youyou, but Jinxi said, "Okay, Auntie accepts your invitation." As she spoke, she gently pinched the little girl's nose.

Qin Yimo wanted to stop her, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Zhan Luya was so angry she wanted to go crazy. She actually called herself "little aunt" to Yoyo in front of him.

She is clearly YoYo's aunt.

Is she trying to take my place as the Zhan family's little princess? How shameless!

The group returned to the Zhan family manor in a grand procession.

Zhan Weiguo informed the steward in advance that two guests would be coming to the house and asked him to prepare extra food.

When they returned, the meal had already been prepared.

restaurant

Everyone took their seats, with the seating arrangement clearly distinguishing between hosts and guests, and reflecting a hierarchy of respect.

Now, Xi is clearly sitting in the most inconspicuous, bottom position.

Yoyo dragged her high chair over to Jinxi, raised her little arms, and gestured for Jinxi to hold her and put her in the high chair. "Auntie, hold me."

"Okay, Auntie will carry you upstairs right away."

Jinxi loves children very much, and in her heart, she already considers this adorable little dumpling as her own little niece.

Seeing how close Jinxi and Youyou were, Zhan Luya was so angry that she dug her nails into her flesh.

She didn't realize it until Zhan Juzhou put some food on her plate.

Everyone enjoyed the meal because of YoYo, the little bundle of joy, except for Zhan Luya, who found it very unpleasant, especially since she would see Jin Xi's face every time she looked up.

Laughing so happily, who are you trying to seduce?

Zhan Luya glanced at Ximen Changxian subconsciously, but Xiling Changxian's gaze had just shifted away from Jin Xi.

Fortunately, her brother Changxian didn't even glance at her.

Zhan Luya served food to Xiling Changxian, and he didn't refuse, which made Zhan Luya feel a little better.

After the meal, some people went out, while others rested.

Zhan Luya was taking a nap in her room, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned, her mind filled with the smiles of that foxy girl, Jin Xi.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Jinxi was not simple.

Not only did he steal the piano championship spot that should have been his, but he was also the first one to leave the school after the college entrance examination. It should have been him!

Now that she's won YoYo's favor, she's definitely trying to steal her identity!

No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die. She had to warn Jinxi before things happened that what wasn't hers shouldn't be tried to take.

Zhan Luya had just opened her room door when she saw Jin Xi passing by her door.

Jinxi didn't seem to see her and walked straight ahead.

"stop."

Zhan Luya roared angrily.

Jinxi stopped in his tracks, looked at her, linked arms with hers, gave her a disdainful look from head to toe, and asked arrogantly, "What's up?"

"you……"

Just looking at Jin Xi's expression was enough to make Zhan Luya furious.

"It's okay, I'm leaving."

Imanishi turned to leave.

"You come here right now!"

Zhan Luya grabbed Jin Xi's hand and pulled her into her room, closing the door to prevent anyone from seeing her and ruining her image.

"What exactly do you want?" Zhan Luya questioned.

"What?" Jinxi looked at her as if she were a fool.

"You've come close to me, what is it for? Do you want money? I can give you as much as you want, but you must leave Kyoto and never set foot on this land again," Zhan Luya said angrily.

"Yoyo is so cute, I like her a lot. And, she seems to like me, an outsider, more than you, her aunt? I don't know why," Jinxi said with a smile.

"You..." Zhan Luya looked at Jin Xi, raised her hand and slapped her.

Jinxi was caught off guard and was slapped. The next second, he slapped Zhan Luya twice, one on each cheek. The sound was very crisp, and the movements were fast and accurate, enough to make someone feel both pain and confusion.

Zhan Luya tilted her head to one side and turned to look at Jin Xi in disbelief.

She's really gone too far; she's really defied the heavens by daring to hit me.

From childhood to adulthood, he was always the one hitting others, and no one had ever laid a hand on her.

"you……"

Zhan Luya's eyes widened in fury, her expression ferocious, and a murderous intent rose within her; she was completely enraged!
