The next day, since Ning Anyuan and the others were not very familiar with the area, Ning Yi chose a restaurant with a good reputation based on the recommendations she had heard from others over the past two days.
Some simple communication was not a problem for Ning Yi, after all, she had learned a lot in private.
They had booked a large private room, and Ningyi was worried that they wouldn't be used to the French food there, so she ordered a few extra Chinese dishes.
This is the only restaurant within a few miles that serves both Chinese and French food. A couple of days ago, someone couldn't get used to the French food here, so I did some research beforehand.
After all, some Western dishes are "good to look at but not good to eat." They may look nice but not necessarily fill your stomach. Most people are used to Chinese food and may not like French food.
"The scenery here is really nice. After Xiaoyi's competition, let's stay here for a few more days. I've never been here before." Gu Ai hung her coat aside, looked around, and then looked out the window.
This isn't the capital of France, after all. Gu Ai would sometimes take time to travel, but it wasn't quite at the level of traveling around the world.
Ning Jian chuckled and said, "Okay, let's stay here and play for a couple more days then."
Ning Anyuan and Ji Yan chatted for a while about a piece of land, and Ning Yi said somewhat displeased, "What are you two doing? We're out for dinner and you still have to talk about work?"
Ning Anyuan stopped talking and looked at his younger sister with doting eyes: "Alright, alright, let's not talk anymore. These next two days, our Xiaoyi is the main character."
"Try this, it's delicious! It's called Tomato Beef Gu," Ning Yi said, moving the dish closer to Gu Ai and the others. It was a new delicacy she had recently fallen in love with.
Ning Yi took the steak that Ji Yan had cut for her and then asked Ning Anyuan, "How are things between you and Sister Yuzhu lately?"
Ning Anyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Next week I will accompany Yuzhu to meet her mother. The day when the two sets of parents meet will be soon."
Ning Yi's face lit up with joy: "Does that mean your wedding date will be set soon?"
“Then I’m all happy. Yu Zhu is such a wonderful girl. I’m anxious for your brother to marry her.” Gu Ai couldn’t help but say.
After everyone arrived, Ning Yi felt much more relaxed. The competition was tomorrow, so after lunch, Ning Yi had a short meeting with Chen Wei and the others before returning to her hotel room.
It was almost evening when there was a knock at the door. Ning Yi got up to open it and wondered who it was. As soon as she opened the door, a tall figure came to greet her.
Ji Yan had already squeezed Ning Yi into the room, and then closed the door with one hand.
"Weren't you at my brother's place? Why are you here?" Ning Yi asked, looking up at him after she had steadied herself.
Ji Yan stared at her and said, "I didn't come here for your brother. I know what's important."
This remark certainly pleased Ning Yi, and she smiled happily, saying, "Not bad, you still care about me quite a bit."
Ning Yi took his hand and walked to the sofa next to him, saying, "Since we have nothing to do, how about I play a couple of pieces for you and you can practice your piano at the same time?"
Ji Yan readily agreed, "Okay."
Ning Yi then took her violin, adjusted her posture, and began to play.
Ji Yan sat casually on the sofa, quietly watching the woman in front of him with a serious expression. At this moment, he was her only audience.
After an unknown amount of time, the beautiful music stopped, and Ning Yi's eyes lit up: "How was it? Were you impressed by my talent?"
Hearing Ning Yi speak in a joking tone, Ji Yan chuckled, stood up, and moved a little closer: "Of course, I've fallen for your charms."
Ning Yi took the violin aside and put it away. Ji Yan stared at her figure, lost in thought.
After she put it down, she turned around and saw Ji Yan lost in thought. She called out, "A-Yan?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Coming to his senses, Ji Yan took a few steps forward and pulled Ning Yi over, then sat down on the sofa.
Ji Yan held Ning Yi in his arms, wondering whether he should tell her about the public announcement now. He hesitated, not wanting to do something like acting first and informing her later; she had the right to know.
But if he tells her now, he's afraid that this might affect her performance in the next two days, since he can tell that Ning Yi is quite anxious about the competition and that she takes it very seriously.
So he didn't want to disrupt her thoughts.
Ji Yan patted her head and whispered, "I'll tell you what I'm thinking after your competition."
Ning Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly pondering what it was about. She asked curiously, "Can't you just tell me now? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Just focus on the competition. Being too curious isn't a good thing," Ji Yan said, gently pinching her nose.
Ning Yi pouted and broke free from his embrace, stood up, sighed, and deliberately said, "Fine, fine, now you won't tell me anything."
Ji Yan also got up to take her hand, but Ning Yi deliberately moved it away so he couldn't reach it.
She stood by the window with her arms crossed, seemingly ignoring him.
Ji Yan sighed and placed his hand on Ning Yi's waist, asking, "Are you planning to ignore me if I don't tell you?"
“Of course,” Ning Yi said proudly.
After saying that, Ji Yan tickled her waist with his fingers, and Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud when her ticklish spot was stimulated.
Ning Yi then glared at him: "What are you doing?"
Then she tried to break free from his grasp, but she was no match for Ji Yan's strength. He held her in his arms and poked her slender waist with his long fingers: "Are you going to pay attention to me or not?"
Ning Yi gritted her teeth, suppressing the itch, and said, "Mr. Ji, you're truly despicable."
Hearing this, Ji Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, then said in a coaxing tone, "If you knew the surprise beforehand, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yi felt a surge of excitement. Was she surprised?
Another surprise? What surprise? So mysterious, could it be... a marriage proposal?
Ji Yan looked at Ning Yi without saying a word, then reached out and pinched her chin: "What are you thinking about? Your face is all red."
Ning Yi quickly concealed her excited and shy expression, then feigned composure and said, "I wasn't thinking anything."
"Since you said you'd tell me later, then tell me later."
