Xingyuan was prepared to extort a huge sum from Ji Wenyue, enough to make Ji Wenyue ache, so that she would remember her more deeply.
Xingyuan made up her mind, but the RV was spacious and the temperature was just right. She half-reclined on the soft sofa and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
Ji Wenyue returned to the RV after finishing her work and saw only Xingyuan's peaceful sleeping face.
She was completely defenseless when asleep, looking extremely docile.
Ji Wenyue reached out and gently rubbed Xingyuan's slightly chubby cheeks, her eyes filled with a daze. How long had it been since they had spent time together so peacefully?
Xingyuan frowned, her eyes not yet open, but she grabbed Ji Wenyue's hand.
Her voice was sweet and delicate, with a hint of morning grogginess. A sweet smile appeared on her face. She stretched out her arms and said softly, "Hug!"
Ji Wenyue froze, not reacting. Xingyuan pouted angrily and directly threw herself into Ji Wenyue's arms, hugging her.
"Hugged sister!" she said with a silly smile, her eyes as bright as stars.
Ji Wenyue's body stiffened uncontrollably. Her hands hesitantly embraced Xingyuan, gentle and restrained. "Okay~ A Yuan has hugged sister."
"But now you need to sit properly. Sister is going to treat you to a meal."
Ji Wenyue moved the dazed Xingyuan to a chair, her sharp eyes sweeping over the three surprised people around them.
An assistant, a manager, and a driver. No big deal.
She smiled politely and elegantly, gently tucking her hair behind her ear, and said softly, "The child is sleepy and confused, don't mind her. Let's go to that new Western restaurant!"
The few people exchanged glances, their eyes focused on their noses and mouths, and then silently nodded.
Everyone in the car was a shrewd person. Who would believe that the two of them had no relationship?
Speaking of which, there were rumors online recently that Ji Wenyue had a sugar daddy behind her. With President Xing's status, she seemed to fit the image of a sugar daddy.
The few of them knew what was going on but said nothing.
Xingyuan sat for a while, her consciousness gradually returning. She remembered the absurd things she had done before and covered her face in shame and indignation.
This was a side effect from the previous world, a kind of instinct. Of course, it was also something she had planned for a long time.
However, Xingyuan glanced at Ji Wenyue's profile. Sister didn't seem angry. Perhaps she could use this method in the future.
Xingyuan pretended to have just woken up and yawned, as if she had no memory of what she had done. She asked with a curious face, "Where are we going?"
Ji Wenyue looked at Xingyuan with a complicated expression, as if she was considering whether it was intentional. But then she smiled gently. "To eat! I promised you."
She's still a child, there's no need to take it to heart.
In Ji Wenyue's eyes, even though many years had passed and both of them had grown up, Xingyuan was still the child she remembered who would come to her to complain when she was wronged.
"Oh!" Xingyuan, who had gotten away with it, happily swung her legs. Then she saw the extra people around her and became unhappy again.
She said aggrievedly, "Sister is treating me to dinner, why are they coming with us?"
Ji Wenyue subtly glanced at her manager and assistant and whispered to coax her, "They'll drop us off at the restaurant and leave. They won't be with us."
That was more like it. Xingyuan was satisfied.
Li Xiao coughed lightly and said professionally, "Teacher Ji, you have another engagement tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. I'll pick you up from your place, right?"
Ji Wenyue noticed Li Xiao's ambiguous gaze and shot her a glare. What was this person thinking all day?
Were managers' imaginations always so rich?
She said irritably, "Of course! Where else would you want to pick me up from?"
Li Xiao made an OK gesture, and silence returned to the car.
They arrived at the Western restaurant and went all the way to the top floor.
This Western restaurant was most famous not for its food, but for the panoramic view of the entire city from its top floor, allowing guests to enjoy the beautiful night scenery.
If Ji Wenyue hadn't endorsed this restaurant before, she might not have been able to book a good seat.
Eating in an open-air restaurant had a great atmosphere. Since she was treating, she naturally had to choose the best place.
"Waiter, table six, bring the dishes!" Ji Wenyue pressed the switch on the table and said calmly.
Soon, two waiters walked over and served two steaks.
Ji Wenyue picked up her knife and fork, first handing them to Xingyuan, then picking up her own. She smiled and said, "This steak is good. I ate here with a friend last time. Try it?"
"What friend?" The steak Xingyuan was about to put into her mouth stopped instantly.
"A business partner." Ji Wenyue found it strange. "What's wrong with A Yuan today? Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"
"Cough cough! Is that so?" Xingyuan coughed twice to cover her guilt and asked evasively, "Am I not usually concerned enough about you?"
Ji Wenyue honestly nodded and sighed, "Yes! Ever since someone started working, you haven't sat down to eat with me for a long time?"
She raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're suddenly so enthusiastic towards me, do you have some ulterior motive?"
"What ulterior motive could I have?" Xingyuan exclaimed indignantly, her eyes drifting to the steak. "I, I'm just concerned about you."
"Really?" Ji Wenyue chuckled, but in her heart, she didn't believe it.
She opened her phone and looked at it. "It's neither your birthday nor my birthday today, nor is it any special occasion. You're acting like this, it's hard not to be suspicious!"
Xingyuan lowered her head, her brain working rapidly. After a while, she remembered something and looked at Ji Wenyue intently. "I heard that Sister's contract is about to expire. Aren't I, on behalf of the company, coming to show concern for Sister, a big star? What if Sister is poached by someone else?"
Ji Wenyue burst out laughing, indulgently and helplessly. "What made you think that? Someone has indeed been trying to poach me recently, but since I promised to work for you for a lifetime, I won't go back on my word."
"Mmm, actually, there's one more thing." Xingyuan bit her lower lip, looking extremely conflicted.
"Speak! As long as it's not too much, Sister will agree to it."
Xingyuan smiled slyly. "You said it yourself, Sister. No backing out!"
"When have I ever gone back on my word with you!" Ji Wenyue hooked her lips, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Recently, um... there's a show, and it's related to the company's future development. I can't always develop in the entertainment industry, so I'm planning to expand into other industries."
"That's great! What help do you need?" Ji Wenyue asked, a little confused.
Xingyuan was a bit hesitant. This step was a bit risky, but under the guise of work, Sister should agree, right?
No matter what, if she gambled, her wife would be hers!
