Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 224 [if] I will not marry into the Ji family

After hearing these words, Sang Yu was stunned.

The master misunderstood that she and Xi Jinbai were a couple?
"Do not……"

She was about to explain when she heard the master say, "Young man, come and see if your girlfriend looks good in this pattern."

Xi Jinbai looked away from his phone, exchanged a glance with Sang Yu, and then looked at the fabric in the master's hand.

Sang Yu was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb, and he quickly corrected: "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

The master was surprised, "Ah? No? Are they brother and sister?"

Sang Yu shook his head, "We are just ordinary friends."

The master said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I saw that you two looked like a perfect match standing together, so I had a preconceived impression."

Sang Yu pursed his lips and lowered his head to look at the other silks.

"Blue does suit you." Xi Jinbai suddenly said, paused, and added: "But you should still choose the one you like."

Sang Yu stopped hesitating and said, "Then let's go with this one."

Following the master's recommendation, I chose the blue one.

The production period of Suzhou embroidery is relatively long, and it usually takes two months to get it.

Sang Yu filled in the contact information, scanned the code to pay, and left with Xi Jinbai.

After the misunderstanding in the store just now, she felt a little uncomfortable, but Xi Jinbai didn't seem to take it to heart at all. His face remained calm and didn't cause any ripples.

"Where else are you going?" he asked.

Sang Yu compromised with the cold winter weather, "It's too cold outside, I'd better go back to the hotel."

Xi Jinbai looked at his watch. It was almost noon. "Shall I take you home after lunch?"

Sang Yu nodded, "Okay."

Xi Jinbai took her to a Suzhou restaurant to try Suzhou's specialties.

Met an acquaintance at a restaurant.

"Xi Jinbai, long time no see. You are here to eat too." A sweet and lovely girl greeted him.

Xi Jinbai responded politely: "Long time no see, Miss Wen."

The girl had two dimples on her lips when she smiled, "I'll be leaving first, bye."

"Ah."

Sang Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances at such a sweet-looking girl.

Xi Jinbai took the initiative to speak: "My mother's friend's daughter."

Sang Yu said "Oh".

She didn't seem to ask.

On the third day in Suzhou, Ji Wanning finished her work in the afternoon, and Min Jiangyue asked her out for dinner in the evening.

The high-end private club is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the city center.

Ji Wanning was led to the box by the waiter.

Min Jiangyue arrived earlier than her, "Why are you alone? Where's Yuyu?"

Ji Wanning pulled out a chair and sat down. "I went to see a fashion show this afternoon and said I'd come over later."

The waiter poured the tea and left the box.

"Isn't your Jin Bai here?"

The heater was on in the room, and Ji Wanning took off her coat and hung it on the back of the chair.

"He's talking to a friend in another box. I'll call him over for dinner later." Min Jiangyue took a sip from the teacup, resting her left hand on her chin, and casually mentioned, "Do you know that my son and your daughter have been getting a little close recently?"

Ji Wanning looked up in surprise, "The two of them?"

"Yes, they met by chance in Paris before, and they even went out to have dinner alone in Hong Kong Island last week." Min Jiangyue raised her lips and smiled, "If our two families can get married, wouldn't it be double happiness?"

Ji Wanning was silent for a moment. In her heart, she was reluctant to let her daughter marry in Sucheng. Although transportation was convenient now, it was still a faraway marriage and she was worried.

"I think they are a perfect match." Min Jiangyue likes Sang Yu from the bottom of her heart. "If Yu Yu marries into our family, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter."

Ji Wanning smiled helplessly, "My Yuyu is only 18 years old, it's too early to think about these things." Min Jiangyue probed her, "If the two of them were really together, would you object?"

Ji Wanning clenched the teacup tightly. "I respect Yu Yu's own opinion. As long as she is happy, that's all."

"I think so too." Min Jiangyue's smile deepened. "Look, they have known each other since they were young, so they can be considered childhood sweethearts. Our two families are also friends. If they can be together, it will really be a good story."

The door of the box was not closed tightly and was ajar.

Sang Yu had just arrived and happened to overhear their conversation at the door, and was slightly stunned.

Marriage?

She and Xi Jinbai?
She should have rejected the word "marriage", but if the target was Xi Jinbai, she felt it was acceptable.

Because, she seemed... to like Xi Jinbai a little.

During this period of time, it is undeniable that his attentiveness and the sense of security he gave her have made her feel good about him.

They were still chatting inside, and Sang Yu felt it would be a bad idea to just rush in and interrupt them, so he simply went to the bathroom first.

The restroom is at the end of the corridor.

Five minutes later, she came out of the cubicle, stood in front of the sink and squeezed a pump of hand soap to scrub.

Suddenly, several male voices were heard from next door.

"Master Xi, I think you two are a good match. The young lady is beautiful and has a good personality. Would you like to consider it?"

Xi Jinbai interrupted in a deep voice: "I will not marry into the Ji family, and I don't like her either, so don't mention it."

The sound fell into my ears along with the sound of water, extremely clear.

Sang Yu froze in his tracks, his fingertips trembling slightly under the faucet.

Zhou Zongjun snorted and laughed, "OK, I won't say anything more. Even if you don't like her, there are plenty of people who do."

"That's right, I don't know what you think..."

The sounds of laughter gradually faded away until they disappeared from my ears.

Sang Yu turned off the faucet and lowered his eyelids to hide his dull eyes.

After a moment of daze, she came to her senses.

While there is still time, take back all your feelings and extinguish that little spark of excitement.
-
Returning to the box, Sang Yu pushed the door open and walked in as if nothing had happened.

Xi Jinbai was also there, chatting with the two ladies.

Sang Yu's eyes passed over him without stopping, and he curled his lips, "Auntie, I'm sorry I'm late."

Min Jiangyue waved with a smile on her face, "It's not too late, come and sit down."

She walked over, pulled out the chair next to Ji Wanning and sat down.

"Is Sucheng fun?" Min Jiangyue asked.

Sang Yu nodded gently, "Yeah, it's just too cold outside. I'm more accustomed to the temperature in Hong Kong Island."

"It's a little cold in winter, but it will be fine after two months." Min Jiangyue reminded: "Wear more clothes when you go out, so as not to catch a cold."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Xi Jinbai picked up the glass pitcher on the table, poured a glass of orange juice, and pushed it in front of Sang Yu.

She thanked him and said nothing more.

When the waiter served the food, Xi Jinbai replaced the dish she liked in front of her.

Min Jiangyue and Ji Wanning took it all in and looked at each other silently.

During the meal, most of the topics revolved around Sang Yu. Min Jiangyue asked her how her college life was, and she picked out some interesting things to talk about.

The atmosphere is harmonious.

Min Jiangyue wanted to bring them together, "You young people have more common topics, so you can keep in touch more often."

Xi Jinbai said nothing, acquiescing in his attitude.

Sang Yu smiled faintly and passed it over vaguely.

Xi Jinbai didn't know if it was his illusion. When they met the day before yesterday, he didn't feel as unfamiliar as he did today.
