Actually, from the moment Ah Cai entered the banquet hall, Ji Chi had noticed her.
It was the first time he had seen her dressed so formally.
It was obvious a stylist had dressed her up tonight. She wore exquisite light makeup. Being young with great skin and a naturally delicate and beautiful face, even a little makeup made her look absolutely stunning.
The stylist had given her a sweet look, with her hair styled in a half-up princess cut. A white gown revealed the figure she had never shown off before.
He hadn't expected her to be so well-endowed.
When she turned around, a small section of her lower back was exposed.
It was slender and fair.
Without even realizing it himself, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Of course, what surprised him even more was that she actually knew the CEO of GY, Gu Haoran.
Watching the two of them laughing and talking, and seeing Gu Haoran even helping to put food on her plate, an inexplicable surge of irritation flared up in Ji Chi's chest.
What was she doing? A little white rabbit trying to hook up with a wealthy big shot?
After chatting with Gu Haonan for a while, Ah Cai saw that he still had no intention of leaving, and she started to feel a bit restless.
She wanted to eat. Was he going to keep talking to her?
Gu Haonan saw through Ah Cai's little thoughts. The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile. I will go get busy first. Take your time eating. Just grab whatever you want to eat.
Ah Cai didn't look at Gu Haonan; her attention was entirely on the cake. Mr. Gu, hurry up and go do your work. Don't worry about me.
As soon as Gu Haonan left, Ah Cai couldn't wait to take a bite of the cake.
She closed her eyes and savored it carefully.
Wow.
It's really so delicious.
Gu Haonan looked back at Ah Cai, a smile inevitably showing in his deep eyes.
Ah Cai didn't notice Gu Haonan's gaze, nor did she notice that Ji Chi had glanced her way several times during his interview.
She ate the cake, then went to eat a plate of seafood.
If it weren't for the fact that the gown was about to burst from her bulging stomach if she kept eating, she wouldn't have been able to stop.
If she had been allowed to wear her own clothes tonight, she could have eaten a lot more.
Patting her belly, Ah Cai let out a burp and walked towards the restroom.
A few minutes later, she came out of the restroom.
To her surprise, a tall, handsome figure was standing in the corridor outside the restroom.
Ji Chi!
Was he waiting for someone here?
Ah Cai didn't know whether she should greet Ji Chi. After all, when he left her clinic half a year ago, things had ended a bit unpleasantly between them.
Moreover, he didn't look too happy right now.
Ah Cai pursed her lips, lifted her skirt, and prepared to walk past Ji Chi.
But the next second, her wrist was grabbed.
Before she could react, Ji Chi dragged her into an empty private room.
Mr. Ji, what are you doing?
Ah Cai regained her senses and tried to break free from the man's large hand gripping her wrist, but he held on tightly and refused to let go.
Ji Chi pulled Ah Cai to the edge of the sofa in the private room.
Ji Chi sat on the sofa, his legs spread wide, making Ah Cai stand between his legs.
Ni Cai, aren't you here to chase after me?
Ah Cai blinked her eyes and pointed at her own nose. Me, chase you?
Ji Chi raised an eyebrow, his handsome, bewitching face full of arrogance and flamboyance. Is that not it? Last night you called me hubby and gave me flowers, and tonight you even followed me to the celebration banquet.
A smile couldn't help but appear on Ah Cai's delicate little face. Hahaha, you misunderstood. I came here accompanying Sheng Xia. She is your fan. By the way, she came tonight to ask for your autograph. Did you sign it for her? If not, how about you sign it now?
Ah Cai felt that she had saved his life after all; he shouldn't refuse a request for an autograph.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw his handsome face darken at a visible speed.
Ji Chi's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. So you're saying, you're not here to chase me?
Ah Cai glared at him with wide almond eyes. Where would I find the free time for that?
With that said, she tried to step back from between his legs, but the man clamped his legs together.
Ah Cai looked at him in confusion. What are you doing?
My Adam's apple hurts. Ji Chi glanced at her. It feels like something is growing there. Help me take a look.
Ah Cai's delicate brows furrowed tightly.
Something was growing on his Adam's apple?
Ah Cai had always been innocent. She didn't overthink it and quickly bent down, reaching out to touch his Adam's apple.
Her fingertips were warm, and when they touched his Adam's apple, it made his body tense up involuntarily.
As she got closer, he smelled the faint, refreshing scent of jasmine on her.
She seemed to really like jasmine. Back when he stayed at her clinic, her body wash smelled of jasmine.
And the sachet she carried with her also contained jasmine.
He looked at her bending over and coughed softly. Careful, you're exposing yourself.
Ah Cai immediately freed one hand to cover her neckline. Don't look!
Her other hand focused on examining his Adam's apple, feeling it over and over, but she couldn't find anything wrong.
Just as she was doubting whether her medical skills were still lacking, the man's arrogant and unbridled laughter rang out. Damn, Ni Cai, how are you still so naive?
He said something was growing on his Adam's apple, and not only did she believe it, but she also examined it so seriously.
How could she be so cute?
Ah Cai realized she had been tricked by him again, and she immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Even a little white rabbit has a temper.
She pushed hard against his chest with both hands. Caught off guard, Ji Chi's body fell backward uncontrollably.
Ah Cai wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but the next second, her wrist was grabbed, and a strong force pulled her directly onto the man's lap.
The moment Ah Cai landed on his lap, she was startled.
Growing up, she had never been this intimate with any man.
Is there something wrong with you? Why are you hugging me?
Seeing her struggle, Ji Chi hugged her tightly and refused to let go. What are you afraid of? It's not like you don't know that I'm a cripple.
Hearing him bring up this matter again, Ah Cai's delicate brows furrowed even deeper.
Now I'm famous and highly popular, but you hold my secret in your hands. You have to tell me one of your secrets before I can feel at ease.
I'm not a gossipy person. Don't worry, I won't tell your secret to anyone else.
Ji Chi took out his phone. He pressed Ah Cai's head into his embrace, and before she could react, he quickly snapped a photo of the two of them.
Forced into his arms, Ah Cai puffed out her lively little face, her bright almond eyes wide open, looking indescribably vivid and cute.
Tsk. This damn girl, even her angry look was so interesting.
If you tell my secret, I'll publish this photo and say that you, this little girl, seduced me.
Hearing his words, Ah Cai was simply furious.
How had he become so shameless?
She had heard Sheng Xia say that popular idols like him weren't allowed to date. If he published their photo together, not only would it get her scolded, but it would also ruin his career, right!
Ji Chi, you're so bad.
Hearing her words, Ji Chi covered his eyes with his long, handsome hand and fell back onto the sofa laughing. I've always been bad. Are you just finding out?
