Meeting you in autumn

That day, Guan Yu arrived at Xinxin Villa wearing a light blue dress.

Upon seeing Guan Yu, the servant hurriedly entered the living room and informed Jing Yi, who was speaking with Uncle Fang.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi paused slightly in his movements, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then gestured to Uncle Fang, who immediately understood and got up to leave.

Seeing this, the servants nearby also wisely left the living room.

Guan Yu, waiting outside, revealed anxiety and anticipation in her eyes.

She kept glancing towards the living room, and when she saw Uncle Fang jogging over, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Uncle Fang, is A-Yi here?" Guan Yu's voice was clear and melodious.

"Yes, Miss Guan, the young master is inside. Please go in!" Uncle Fang replied with a smile, his voice gentle and kind.

"Okay, I'm going then." Guan Yu had barely finished speaking when she jogged towards the living room.

Upon entering the living room, Guan Yu saw Jing Yi sitting upright on the sofa with his legs crossed, his eyes focused and determined, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand.

Guan Yu walked gently to Jing Yi's side, sat down slowly, and then called softly, "A-Yi."

Then, her gaze involuntarily drifted to the documents in Jing Yi's hand.

It was information about the Jingjia Huasheng Group, filled with dense text and charts, resembling a complex and mysterious world.

Jing Yi's fingers slid lightly across the documents, sometimes frowning, sometimes deep in thought, as if pondering some important question.

At the same time, Jing Yi inadvertently glanced at Guan Yu to the side.

At this moment, Guan Yu withdrew her gaze, raised her head, and their eyes met in the air.

A playful expression appeared on Jing Yi's face as he teased, "What? Miss Guan isn't going on a date with that young master from the Shen family, but instead has come here?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Ah Yi, you're not jealous, are you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Yi quickly turned his face away, letting out a contemptuous sneer from his nose: "Heh..."

Seeing Jing Yi's reaction, Guan Yu quickly got up and moved over to sit next to him. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Ah Yi, there's nothing between me and Brother Shen Chen. I only see him as an older brother."

However, Jing Yi was clearly not buying Guan Yu's explanation, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

He pondered to himself: Is that so? Then how do you explain what happened three years ago? Hah…

Noticing the obvious distrust in Jing Yi's eyes, Guan Yu, in a moment of desperation, reached out and tightly grasped his cheeks, forcefully turning him around so that he had no choice but to look at her directly.

She puffed out her cheeks and said with a hint of annoyance, "Ah Yi, you have to believe me!"

Before Jing Yi could react, Guan Yu offered her lips, haphazardly mimicking how Jing Yi had kissed her earlier, and tried to kiss him back.

Their lips touched, and they lingered gently for a while.

However, Jing Yi did not react at all, but just stared at her quietly, his deep eyes like a bottomless lake.

Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of embarrassment and shyness.

She slowly stopped kissing him, quickly retreating to the side, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes flickering, unable to look him in the eye.

Oh my god! What am I doing? I actually dared to kiss Jing Yi so boldly? Am I really that desperate?

Countless chaotic thoughts intertwined and tangled in Guan Yu's mind, leaving her feeling utterly confused.

Just as Guan Yu was lost in her own thoughts, suddenly, a powerful force struck, and Jing Yi reached out and pulled her back into his arms.

This sudden action startled Guan Yu. She stared wide-eyed at Jing Yi, who was standing right next to her.

At this moment, Jing Yi stared intently at her, his eyes revealing a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.

He parted his thin lips slightly and said coldly, "What? Shen Chen can't satisfy you?"

Before she could finish speaking and before Guan Yu could even react, Jing Yi swiftly leaned down and kissed her lips again with a domineering kiss.

The kiss came so suddenly and so fiercely that Guan Yu was completely unprepared.

After a long while, Jing Yi released her, and looking at Guan Yu, whose face was flushed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He then stood up and said to the people behind him, "Keep up!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu immediately followed. She saw Jing Yi get into the car first and say to Guan Yu, who hadn't gotten in yet, "Get in!"

After thinking it over, Guan Yu finally chose to sit in the passenger seat and put on her seatbelt. Seeing this, Jing Yi drove away from Xinxin Villa.

The two then went to a high-end restaurant.

Jing Yi subconsciously pulled out a chair for Guan Yu, and only after she sat down did he sit opposite her.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Yi skillfully ordered several dishes, all of which were Guan Yu's favorites.

Guan Yu looked at him with some surprise, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, thinking, "So he still remembers."

Jing Yi inadvertently caught Guan Yu's gaze, which was so intense it seemed to set him on fire. He was slightly taken aback at first, and after glancing at her several times, he slowly asked, "What is it?"

Guan Yu bit her lip, as if she had mustered up her courage, and asked in a sweet voice, "Ayi, do you still like me?"

Before Jing Yi could respond, she eagerly added, "Coincidentally, I've always liked you too."

Upon hearing her words, Jing Yi couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of disdain and mockery on his face: "Guan Yu, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

Four years ago, you were the one who left me without a word! And now you still expect me to like you again? Do you think that's possible?

After saying that, he quickly turned his head away and looked into the distance, refusing to look at Guan Yu again.

However, his tightly clenched hands, with knuckles white from the force, inadvertently revealed his true inner emotions at that moment.

Guan Yu never expected Jing Yi to say such heartless words, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Her eyes instantly turned slightly red, and tears welled up in them, as if they were about to spill over at any moment.

Just then, the waiter arrived at the perfect moment, carrying steaming hot dishes and carefully placing them one by one on the table.

The tense atmosphere was briefly eased by the arrival of the waiter, but what followed was a suffocating silence.

During the rest of the meal, the two remained silent, neither saying another word.

The only sound in the restaurant was the occasional clinking of cutlery. They quietly finished their meal, which was filled with awkwardness and unpleasantness.
