Qi Xuan returned home and quickly went to his study, immediately searching for preparations needed for a trip to an amusement park with his girlfriend.
Afterwards, he drew up a list of necessary items and handed it to the butler, asking for his help with procurement.
The butler looked at the list and asked in surprise, "Young Master, are you planning to go camping?"
Qi Xuan: ...
He knew that netizens were unreliable.
"Ahem," Qi Xuan coughed awkwardly. "I'm going to the amusement park with Ye Zhi. These items are what a guide I found online said were necessary preparations."
The butler said speechlessly, "...The guide prepared these things because items sold at amusement parks are expensive, and it's not cost-effective to buy things inside. So they suggest bringing more. You and Miss Ye aren't short of money, so you don't need to buy so much. I think you might as well book the entire amusement park for just you and Miss Ye to play in. How romantic would that be..."
Qi Xuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No, Ah Zhi wouldn't be happy."
"You're not Miss Ye, how do you know Miss Ye wouldn't be happy?" the butler asked, displeased.
"Butler, Ah Zhi told me today that Taoxun is planning to develop an anti-fraud application," Qi Xuan said suddenly.
"Ah?" The butler was very confused. He couldn't quite understand, "Young Master, why are you suddenly talking about this? I don't understand any of this..."
Qi Xuan said calmly, "This anti-fraud application is actually a public welfare project with no profit-making functions. Ah Zhi is still willing to fund it herself because she has always had a strong sense of social responsibility. Even for strangers with whom she has no connection, she tries to help them when they are about to be scammed."
The butler nodded in agreement. "Miss Ye is indeed that kind of person..."
"An amusement park has a daily flow of over ten thousand visitors. If Ah Zhi knew that I, simply because I wanted to go to the amusement park with her, caused ten thousand or more people to lose the happiness that was rightfully theirs, and brought them inconvenience, what do you think she would think?" Qi Xuan continued calmly.
"Ah, this..." The butler was taken aback. After thinking carefully, he realized that things were indeed as Qi Xuan said!
Ye Zhi could drive a courier van herself to deliver packages and would openly drive it back to the villa. No matter how rich she was, she always instinctively sided with the public.
If Qi Xuan really booked the amusement park, preventing others from playing, Ye Zhi would definitely be unhappy.
"Alright then, I'll help you filter these items and keep only the essentials," the butler said.
"Okay," Qi Xuan smiled faintly.
"Then have you prepared the amusement park itinerary?" the butler asked. "For example, which project to go to first, where to go next, where there are fewer people, where the queues are long, and so on. Do you understand these things?"
"Yes, I've already checked and prepared the itinerary," Qi Xuan replied.
"Find a few more guides and consolidate them," the butler said, not reassured. "Don't you two spend the whole day queuing when you go out to play. If Miss Ye doesn't break up with you when she gets back, you two can get married on the spot!"
Qi Xuan laughed, "Okay, I'll search for more guides."
Next door, Ye Zhi lay on the bed after taking a shower. Zhao Cai gracefully leaped onto the bed and unceremoniously settled on Ye Zhi's chest.
Feeling Zhao Cai's heavy affection, Ye Zhi turned over somewhat helplessly.
She hugged Zhao Cai, idly scratching its little chin, and murmured to herself, "You know... he's invited me to the amusement park, and our relationship should be progressing. Should I give him a gift to show my appreciation?"
"Meow—" Zhao Cai let out a comfortable purr.
"Give it to you? He doesn't care for you, okay?" Ye Zhi frowned. "I can't give the gifts I gave before. Those were for friends, not for a boyfriend... I've got it!"
Ye Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up. Some strange knowledge flashed into her mind, and she knew what to give Qi Xuan.
The next day, Ye Zhi visited a nearby mall during her lunch break.
"Madam, what can I help you with?" a salesperson approached her.
"I want to buy ties," Ye Zhi said. "For my boyfriend."
She remembered hearing somewhere that giving a boyfriend a tie symbolized tying him down. Ye Zhi didn't exactly want to tie anyone down, but since it was a gift with a sense of intimacy, it would be nice to give to Qi Xuan.
The salesperson immediately understood and took out several popular ties, beginning to introduce to Ye Zhi which ones would suit different suit patterns.
Ye Zhi picked up those ties and imagined Qi Xuan wearing them. Hmm... they would all look very handsome! It was so hard to choose!
Ye Zhi sighed. In that case, she'd take them all!
"Please wrap all of these up," Ye Zhi said.
"Yes, yes~" The salesperson's joy became visibly apparent, and her voice turned somewhat fawning, "Madam, would you like to buy a tie clip to go with these ties?"
"What styles do you have?" Ye Zhi asked.
"We have these styles in our store, and they all match the ties you just chose..." The salesperson happily took out tie clips from the counter and introduced them to Ye Zhi.
Just as Ye Zhi was listening intently, she suddenly heard a timid voice call out, "Director Ye, Director Ye..."
Ye Zhi turned her head in confusion. She looked at the woman in front of her, who looked familiar yet also strangely unfamiliar.
"Are you...?" Ye Zhi frowned, trying to recall where she had met this woman.
"I..." The woman bit her lip and mustered up her courage. "I'm Zhang Danni. I never expected to have the chance to meet you here..."
Ye Zhi suddenly understood. She knew this name!
When she first returned to the country, she had directly sent Zhang Danni to the police station. Later, when she was buying a gift for Qi Xuan, she encountered her again, and it was at that time that Ye Zhi understood that strange gift-giving knowledge.
However, why did it feel like Zhang Danni had completely changed?
The Zhang Danni in her memory was arrogant and overbearing, practically wearing the words "vicious supporting character" on her face.
But the current Zhang Danni had long lost her former sharpness. Moreover, her stomach was slightly protruding, appearing to be five or six months pregnant. Especially her entire demeanor, apart from becoming gentler, she also exuded a maternal radiance.
"Are you pregnant?" Ye Zhi snapped back to reality and asked directly.
"Mmm..." Zhang Danni gently stroked her abdomen and said somewhat awkwardly, "Last year, my father arranged a family marriage for me. I saw that my husband was a good person, so I married him..."
