When Yan Jingxing met Miss Xie again at her home, he found that the other party's expression was not very good-looking, with a sullen face, and he didn't know why he was dissatisfied.
"What's going on here?"
Yan Jingxing was a little surprised. He looked at the people passing by in a hurry. They were all unfamiliar faces that he had not recognized before. There is a constant stream of people coming and going.
…
It is said that the place where Miss Xie currently lives was originally intended to be built as a star hotel, so it covers a very large area: in addition to the palace as the main building, which is a huge house with layers of rooms inside, There is also a courtyard composed of fountains, trees and large flower beds on the outside.
In comparison, the number of housekeepers, maids, chefs, security guards, drivers and cleaners who serve Miss Xie is relatively rare. The total number of permanent staff does not exceed ten, and they are generally in their own rooms and work In the area, you can't usually see her at all; Xie Yuzhi himself is a student, living a three-point and one-line life of "home-school-tutorial school", and rarely has the opportunity to communicate with outsiders.
Therefore, the eldest lady's normal lifestyle is actually the same as that of those who live in isolation, just like an independent princess who has stayed in a huge palace since birth and never left the house.
...Of course, this was just the impression he had when he first got acquainted with Yuzhi. Especially when he visited here for the first time, he was indeed a little shocked.
As for now, Yan Jingxing already knows what kind of person Xie Yuzhi is. She may be more like an independent queen than a weak princess. The two of them have now become an unmarried couple——
Yan Jingxing couldn't help but shook his head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts that suddenly came to his mind.
"There are so many people, what's going on?"
he asked.
Today's situation is obviously different from usual. People holding or carrying table flowers, lights, balloons and other decorations, bringing all kinds of fresh ingredients and kitchen utensils poured in and dispersed throughout the hotel-style building to get busy.
The girl standing on the steps was crossing her chest with her hands unhappy, her slender fingers tapping her arms from time to time, and her strange and indifferent eyes wandering around everyone who passed by, occasionally giving low-key instructions to those who came to report. She ordered, and her expression didn't soften until she saw Yan Jingxing.
"You came."
Xie Yuzhi said.
Seeing that soft and pleasant face, Yan Jingxing's weird thoughts that he couldn't suppress began to surface again.
Late at night these past few days, he was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Weird thoughts always came to his mind, which even affected his mental state during the day.
The eldest lady said that falling in love at their age is premature love, so they have to make a marriage contract first... But no matter how you think about it, a husband and wife have a closer relationship than lovers, right?
At that time, he was confused by the unexpected attack of the other party. When he thought about it afterwards, he couldn't help but think about it, because there is no reason that couples can't do things that couples can do -
Yuzhi must have realized this a long time ago. What did she think?
He touched his lips. The girl's kiss like a dragonfly's water that day, the soft and moist touch, with the fragrance of rose, seemed to still remain on his lips to this day.
She seemed to have given the answer in her own way.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xie Yuzhi said that she held up the dark hair beside her ears with her hands. The bright sunshine illuminated the girl's bright skin as if it were transparent. Her lips exuded a crystal-like luster, which looked very alluring. Yan Jingxing subconsciously stared intently.
"Oh, I originally called you here to help, just as an excuse to let us spend more time together... Now it seems that I really need your help."
Yan Jingxing quickly calmed down and asked seriously:
"So, what is going on now? Where did these people come from?"
…
"They are the service staff I hired to hold banquets. They were seconded from my father's hotel industry in other places."
After that, Xie Yuzhi explained to him the results of his side.
Although Xie Jianye agreed to their engagement, he made a request:
He put his daughter in charge of hosting the engagement party. Political and business figures related to Xie Jianye and Jianyan Group, whether they are partners with close interests or casual acquaintances, will be invited.
After decades of hard work, Xie Jianye has established a huge network of interpersonal relationships in several nearby cities such as Jinjiang City and Shanyin City, so a junior high school girl can entertain him, while Xie Jianye himself chooses to be the boss.
"According to my father, he will treat himself as a guest who was invited by chance, and leave all the rest to me." Xie Yuzhi sighed softly.
"……ah?"
Yan Jingxing opened his eyes wide.
"Here, Uncle Xie is kidding you, right? We are still junior high school students. Is this what we should do at our age?"
"I thought so too, but...'When you set aside adults and made a marriage contract with a boy without permission, you didn't consider that you were still a student?', he immediately refuted me like this."
"This is just to express anger!"
Yan Jingxing couldn't help but complain.
"I think so too."
The corners of Xie Yuzhi's mouth raised slightly, as if she was holding back a smile.
"I'm thinking that as a father, he might feel a little unwilling. It's the kind of feeling... that the father-in-law feels unhappy about his son-in-law."
"……is that so."
Yan Jingxing scratched the back of his head. To be honest, he still lacks a real understanding of the marriage contract, let alone the son-in-law and the father-in-law... This sounds too far away from a junior high school student.
"——That's why I decided to drag you along."
"Me, me?"
"Yes. This is an agreement between the two of us. You can't escape."
"But……"
Yan Jingxing looked troubled.
At least Xie Yuzhi grew up in a wealthy family. Under the influence, he always has a way to imitate cats and tigers, but he really knows nothing about it.
Miss Xie noticed the hesitation on his face and immediately guessed what the boy was thinking, and she laughed softly.
"It doesn't matter, don't care about the result. Anyway, it's all the result of dad being the hands-off boss. Even if we mess up, it's not our responsibility."
"That's not good……"
Yan Jingxing couldn't help but complain again. He couldn't even figure out whether the relationship between father and daughter Xie Jianye and Xie Yuzhi was good or bad. How could they still dig holes in each other?
"There's nothing wrong with it. Thinking about it on the other hand, if this matter is really important, my father won't let it go easily." Xie Yuzhi explained, "Maybe from the perspective of a businessman like my father, he has business cooperation with those who The relationship between partners is ultimately maintained by interests, so I don’t care.”
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Yan Jingxing, and she sharply noticed an untied button. So, the girl took two steps closer to him and stretched out her hand to fasten the buttons for him.
"And in my opinion, there is actually a more important reason. Jing Xing, no one in this world has the qualification to ask you to cater to and obey other people's ideas."
Xie Yuzhi didn't care at all about the skin-to-skin contact with him. She leaned towards him as if she was about to fall into his arms. Her lowered eyebrows looked serious and charming.
"Even my level of superpower is already unimaginably terrifying to ordinary people. I don't dare to tell my father, let alone you... Wait, it's strange, why is this button so difficult to fasten... "
"But, maybe it's broken."
Yan Jingxing unconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he swallowed. The familiar fragrance of roses once again surrounded him, refreshing his heart and mind, like the smell he smelled when he returned from a midnight dream.
"Broken? Then let's do it." Xie Yuzhi patted his chest and said amusedly, "Although I told you not to worry about those false gifts, wearing the damaged clothes is still a bit too much...ah, Could it be that you burned the clothes because of your transformation and your family is in short supply? Just tell me and I will take you to pick out some."
"……No shortage."
In fact, the real reason is that this dress was brought to him by Chun Zao, and he probably didn't pay attention when he brought it.
Thinking of this, Yan Jingxing subconsciously changed the topic:
"I'll pay attention to it in the future."
"Yes. Of course I know that you are not the kind of person who gets carried away and bullies the weak when you become stronger. But strong power itself treats everyone with a normal heart and firmly says 'no' when needed. Confidence.”
Miss Xie's tone was so gentle that she sounded like a persuasive teacher or mother.
"So, just do as you feel."
Yan Jingxing thought it made sense. He nodded and asked again:
"——Yuzhi, you have said so much, could it be because you, like me, don't know the so-called 'social etiquette' at all?"
Xie Yuzhi's expression froze slightly.
"Uh, I think I know..."
"...Yes." Miss Xie could only admit honestly in the end, "I have taken a lot of classes since elementary school. Among them, etiquette classes are boring to me, so I usually just skip them."
"You actually skip class..."
The eldest lady's face showed a faint blush of embarrassment.
"Okay, that's the end of this topic. Let's go and get ready to work!"
The girl turned and left.
"Wait! I have other things to do."
Yan Jingxing quickly called her to stop.
"Chun Zao said she wasn't coming. I always feel... her mood seems a little strange. Did you two say something yesterday?"
Xie Yuzhi stopped but did not look back. She replied:
"It's nothing, I just told her about our decision to get engaged."
……really. Yan Jingxing had already guessed it. He wanted to sigh, but he didn't know why.
"Then what was her reaction?"
His tone was cautious.
"I don't know. After all, she hasn't replied to me since that night until now. I plan to confirm with her again after some time."
Xie Yuzhi did not look back, her voice was calm.
"If you really care, just go to her and ask her directly."
Yan Jingxing nodded silently and then followed her back.
