"I just want to et my future sister-in-law and have a al with her. Brother, don’t be so stingy! Or are you not planning to get married?"
Cui Jiangjing’s eyes softened, his tone low and gentle, "She is the only woman I want to marry."
The only one? How long has it been, and he’s already determined that she’s the only one for him? Does Mr. Cui agree? How could a chanic possibly marry into the Cui Family!
Huo Xiahe’s heart ached faintly, forcing a smile and not giving up, "That’s settled then! You’re getting married anyway, why hide her like that? When you’re married, I can et my sister-in-law, right? I might as well get to know her sooner. Later, I can even have my mom and Mr. Cui praise her."
Her words had reached this point, cheerfully calling her sister-in-law, making it impossible to refuse.
Cui Jiangjing couldn’t resist her, so he agreed first, "I can take you to et her, but we need to set three rules!"
Huo Xiahe jumped up with happiness, "Great! Tell , I’ll listen to you."
"There’s nothing much to say, just one thing. Rember it."
"Mhm mhm."
Cui Jiangjing, "She is the only woman I want to marry in this lifeti, I cherish her dearly, so much that I don’t want to make her upset. If you two ever clash, I will unconditionally stand by her side!"
Huo Xiahe couldn’t keep her expression any longer, staring at him in disbelief, "Even if it’s not my fault, you’d still unconditionally take her side?"
"To , there’s no right or wrong!"
Gu Linxi is simply right!
Then the rest are simply wrong!
—To , there’s no right or wrong! Envy, disappointnt, sadness, so many complex emotions flashed through Huo Xiahe’s eyes, leaving her unsure how to face them all at once.
She forced a smile, raising her head, "Then let choose the restaurant, my treat."
...
Gu Linxi arrived at the place Cui Jiangjing ntioned an hour after receiving his call, almost getting stopped by security.
Thankfully, she called Cui Jiangjing, who ca out to pick her up, allowing the security to let her in.
Walking into Bolai Hotel’s spacious lobby, the cool air from the air conditioning greeted her. She hadn’t had ti to change clothes from yesterday, still wearing a small black tank top underneath a striped shirt. This style could be considered street casual, but in a place like this upscale hotel, it seed inappropriate.
Seeing the busy business people passing by, Gu Linxi’s mouth twitched, suddenly understanding.
No wonder the security at the door insisted on not letting her in; her outfit indeed didn’t fit this high-end venue.
Gu Linxi didn’t care about the looks she got from passersby, turning her head as she walked and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly invite to dinner? And at such a nice place. Did you win the lottery?"
Cui Jiangjing glanced at her, his smile warm like a spring breeze, "Does your brother need that five million?"
She quietly withdrew her gaze, hands in her pockets, "Oh, right, you don’t need five million. My bad, I misjudged your level of extravagance."
Every year, magazines and websites like to create rich lists, but she knows that truly wealthy people disdain being on such lists, even suppressing their rankings to avoid being listed.
Like that gentleman from the Li Family, Director Fu, and then there’s this seemingly harmless man in front of her.
