Jing Li took a few bites without paying any attention to Yun Qi. Yun Qi's lips twitched, and he cleared his throat in a fake manner, "Delicious?"

Yun Qi had a playful grin on his face.

"It's alright, better than takeout," Jing Li replied calmly.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself." Yun Qi said with a long face, leaning back and glancing at Jing Li.

"Didn't you say you'd treat me to dinner?" The girl looked up, seemingly puzzled. This guy didn't seem like a domineering CEO.

In TV dramas, the domineering CEOs always try everything and threaten the female lead to eat it. When she eats, he even criticizes her.

Why would someone so wealthy be so stingy with such a small amount of food?

This really surprised Jing Li.

"What's with that expression? Are you looking down on me?"

Young Master Yun immediately erupted in anger.

What was the meaning behind her looking at him with the same expression she had just given to the poor man?

"You want to ask me about your lifespan?"

Jing Li put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hand, and stared intently at Yun Qi with a smile.

Yun Qi's unserious expression immediately turned serious, with a slight hint of surprise that vanished in an instant.

She knew it all along.

"How long do you think I can live?" Yun Qi asked meaningfully, without directly voicing his question. Instead, he asked in a casual and nonchalant manner.

"Three months."

Jing Li's gaze remained fixed on Yun Qi, wanting to see his reaction.

The person involved didn't seem surprised to hear this; instead, they felt somewhat relieved, yet also a little disappointed.

Does he want to die or live?

Jingli couldn't understand him. She had tried to calculate his fate, but couldn't figure it out. Just like calculating her own fate, it was like looking through a veil; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see through it and could only get a general idea.

The two ended their meal when Jing Li finished eating all the dishes.

Yun Qi's face twitched countless times, "..."

How many days had she gone hungry to be able to eat so much?

What he didn't know was that Jing Li had eaten a bowl of noodles before coming over.

In the end, Jing Li still showed him a "poor guy" expression.

This greatly displeased Young Master Yun, who wished he could immediately go to her house, drag her back, and continue eating her.

Let her know how wealthy he is!

……

……

The capital city, the Royal Academy.

As soon as I stepped out of the school gate in early summer, I saw a man leaning against a wild SUV, smoking, while the girls around me kept turning their heads to look back.

"Xiaxia, who is this?" The classmate next to her asked with starry eyes, extremely surprised. "Your boyfriend? He's so handsome!"

Chu Xia's expression wasn't good; she looked quite gloomy and resentful. "..."

Can being handsome be used to make a living?

She frowned and turned to walk around the man, but he had already seen her.

"Early summer."

The man spoke coldly, his expression was blank, and he ordered the task to be completed.

Chu Xia paused, reluctantly walking over. "What is it?"

"There's a family banquet at home. My grandfather wants you to go back to the Jiang residence."

It's the old man of the Jiang family's birthday.

Chu Xia frowned even more deeply.

The things she experienced after descending the mountain nearly drove her mad.

When Nangong Qinghe interrogated her, the murderous aura emanating from her was almost uncontrollable. Zhao Yancheng used all his connections to get her out.

After returning to her residence, she took out the jade she had accumulated over the years and used up all her spiritual energy to barely suppress the devouring evil energy.

The malevolent energy behind him was subtly causing trouble, but for some reason, his spiritual energy increased instead of decreasing.

He directly suppressed that portion of the malevolent energy within his body.

But she also knew that her mindset had changed, becoming fickle and no longer as pure as before.

The first thing she did after suppressing the evil energy was to go to the dojo to find her master.

She wanted to ask her master about Nangong Qian's matter, and whether he was the one who actually helped transport her.

She always held her master in high esteem.

She wanted a definite answer.

Even now, she doesn't care that much about it. In her mind, Nangong Qian deserved to die. She had done so many bad things, and her life was a stolen one.

That woman tampered with her fate. Nangong Qian should have died long ago; the fact that she's still alive must be due to someone else's luck.

However, what happened next was completely beyond her expectations.

Master.

died! !

The crematorium called her countless times, informing her to handle her master's funeral arrangements, but she was trapped with Nangong Qinghe and couldn't get out at all.

She couldn't believe it, and she frantically searched for her master.

I asked the villagers near the dojo, and everyone gave the same answer: Master Huang was killed by a falling object, and the place where he died was right there at the dojo.

That Taoist temple where countless patriarchs have blessed their disciples and descendants.

What that woman said came true.

No, it was something she did to Master that killed him. Otherwise, how could Master have died in the dojo?

Chu Xia's resentment was endless. Kneeling in the ruins of the dojo, she secretly vowed to kill that woman, no matter how powerful she was!

And then there's Nangong Qinghe; if it weren't for him, she would have been able to see her master one last time.

Why are the Nangong family born superior to others? Her hard work and dedication seem like a joke to them.

How ridiculous and pathetic! She must stand above them and look down on those arrogant and domineering young noblemen!

Looking at the man in front of her, Chu Xia felt very complicated.

After her master died, she was in a depressed state for a long time.

But her master's last words puzzled her even more.

This was found at the dojo.

"Xiao Chu, I know my days are numbered. If the evil aura on your body has not been removed, then go find an old man named Jiang Zhaolin. He is my master's best friend, and you were betrothed to his grandson when you were children."

You have a fiancé, but your master has never told you. Your master wanted you to find yourself, but now that your master is gone, I hope you can go to the Jiang family and let them protect you.

In her pain and despair, she also found it unbelievable.

Fiancé? She had never even considered it…

She discovered that when she had an emotional breakdown, her malevolent energy would subtly rise, and her spiritual energy would occasionally fail.

The moment she saw the man, she realized that her previously unstable spiritual energy was surging into her body.

It becomes solid and does not disperse.

She was puzzled.

When she is not with Jiang Zhaolin's grandson, her spiritual power will revert to its original state.

Jiang Zhaolin's grandson, Jiang Sheng, opened the car door expressionlessly. "Grandpa said that since you are a college student, you don't have much extra money to prepare a gift for him, so you only need to show up. There's no need to prepare a special gift."

He gestured to Chu Xia, "Get in the car, I don't have much time."

They acted like strangers on official business.

Even after spending so much time together, the two had little to talk about.

He had no objection to Chu Xia; he respected the elders' opinions. As for who she would marry, it wasn't important to him.

As long as this person doesn't become infatuated with him, early summer is perfect. Having a male confidant suits him perfectly.

It's not that Jiang Sheng is narcissistic; rather, he genuinely has the right to be narcissistic.
