Chapter 218 Let's Go on a Trip
An Xiaoyue is gone.
Zhong Lingxi stared at her back until the figure disappeared through the gate of the Unknown Spring Courtyard.
She stood at the door, hesitant, unsure of how to face Ji Yubai.
"Little girl." Ji Yubai noticed Zhong Lingxi's hesitation and took the initiative to provoke her.
The flippant tone immediately reminded Zhong Lingxi of the cynical Young Master Ji.
That was the original Ji Yubai.
When he first learned that Ji Yubai was the heir of Star Cube, he was standing in the "Night Realm" bar, calling out to her through his phone.
She listened to him and turned to look.
The first thing that caught her eye was Ji Yubai, who was leaning on the railing and staring at her with great interest.
At that time, he was Young Master Ji, whom she mistook for a gigolo, someone who made her physically uncomfortable.
She is an employee in the legal department of Changfeng Group, and she needs to meet certain performance targets to become a permanent employee.
When he used every trick in the book to get her to cooperate, she became an arrogant and domineering woman in his eyes.
Last night's kiss felt like the Buddha's palm slamming her into the abyss.
She disliked the nickname "little girl" and strictly forbade Ji Yubai from calling her that.
So, now that Ji Yubai is calling her that again, she understands his intention.
He was clumsily telling her that nothing had changed.
Zhong Lingxi felt an unyielding bitterness in her heart.
She lifted her foot and sat down opposite Ji Yubai.
"when did you come?"
“I left home this morning to buy some good food. I waited at the entrance of your community and sent you a message. My sister-in-law said you were here, so I came to wait for you. I've finished lunch now. I've been waiting for you for a total of six hours.”
Ji Yubai rattled off a whole bunch of things, pouring out his grievances, and then, not forgetting to rub his temples, put on a mask of pain and continued talking.
"I didn't sleep well all night. My head was throbbing, my temples were throbbing, and my blood vessels felt like they were going to burst."
After Ji Yubai said so much, the gloom that had been shrouding her suddenly seemed to have been shattered by his words.
"If you're not feeling well, go back to sleep." There was a hint of heartache in her voice that even Zhong Lingxi herself didn't notice.
Seeing that she spoke stiffly, but couldn't hide the faint smile on her lips, Ji Yubai was also pleased. "After you've eaten your fill, I'll take you home, and then I'll go home to sleep."
Zhong Lingxi nodded, "Okay."
The afternoon sun was blinding, and neither of them knew what to say, so they simply sat in silence.
After a moment of silence, Xiaoyue still hadn't returned, and Zhong Lingxi's mind was racing.
Ji Yubai's initiative was a compromise, an attempt to maintain the relationship.
He has already given her a way out; she should step down and explain things clearly to Ji Yubai.
"Last night, I..."
Zhong Lingxi felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought about the scene of Ji Yubai driving away. She didn't want to lose Ji Yubai.
Zhong Lingxi subconsciously gripped her skirt and said in one breath:
“It’s not that I don’t want you to touch me, it’s my problem. Your existence is like a handsome, rich, good-skinned, long-eyelashed, and pink-lipped flower boy in a TV series. You are too beautiful, and my past always makes me feel that I will tarnish this beauty.”
Zhong Lingxi laid bare her heart, her pride, and her inferiority complex to Ji Yubai.
"I can achieve the same level as you in terms of economics, social status, and wealth through my own efforts. But I need time to accept the psychological aspects. So please give me a little more time, I can do it."
Ji Yubai sat there, listening attentively to every word she said.
The more he listened, the more obvious his smile became.
He waited until Zhong Lingxi stopped talking before he spoke up to say what he wanted to say.
"My liking for you was instant; I liked you from the first moment I saw you. I liked your shamelessness, arrogance, unreasonableness, haughtiness, and self-righteousness..."
Zhong Ling likes to have her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but that's not a good thing, is it?
"I became interested in you the first time I saw you acting suspiciously outside the 'Night Realm' private room. At the Changfeng Group's annual meeting, your question, 'Should I kneel down to receive the imperial decree?' completely captivated me."
"You dare to express your ambitions in front of the whole company. You are interesting and brave. I want to be with someone like you, which would make my life more exciting."
"What attracts me is your personality, your interesting soul. You need time, and I'm willing to wait, but I don't want any unpleasantness to linger between us overnight."
"I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have turned around and left." Ji Yubai deeply reflected on the things he did wrong.
"I left not because of you, but because I was angry. I was angry that he hurt you, and there was nothing I could do about it."
Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Zhong Lingxi burst into tears.
Ji Yubai is a gentle, patient, and tolerant lover. Of course, she wouldn't let go of such a good man.
“You don’t need to do anything. I will see a psychologist and I will adjust myself so that you and Xiaoyue won’t worry.”
Ji Yubai didn't think that way. Ever since he met Zhong Lingxi, she had been working, working day and night.
Her life was constantly being pushed forward by work; she had no time for herself and never had a proper chance to relax.
At that moment, Ji Yubai suddenly made an impulsive decision.
"Lingxi, let's go on a trip."
"Now?" Zhong Ling's eyes widened in disbelief, all her previous emotions vanished, and her heart pounded slightly.
Ji Yubai sat up straight, very certain, "Right now."
Zhong Ling was beaming with joy. "Okay, let's go."
That's crazy!
But she likes making sudden decisions and setting off without a second thought.
"But where is the destination?"
"You eat noodles, I'll take care of the arrangements." Ji Yubai took out his phone; to set off, the first thing to do was to open the app and buy plane tickets.
Zhong Lingxi: "Buy the sixth plane ticket, that's the destination."
"Why is it the sixth one?" Ji Yubai asked, puzzled.
"I like the number six."
Ji Yubai snapped his fingers. "Random, excellent."
When An Xiaoyue and Cui Ma returned with the food, they saw Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi talking excitedly across the coffee table, their excitement barely concealed.
“I’ve got it! Paris!” Ji Yubai stood up happily. “In France, we can eat foie gras, Provençal stew, escargot, black truffles, macarons…”
He used to travel around the world with his father and the artists from StarCube. He is very familiar with Paris and knows all about its food.
Hearing a bunch of food names, An Xiaoyue still didn't understand what was going on with these two. "What are you doing?"
"Xiaoyue, we're going on a spontaneous trip. Our destination is Paris. We'll leave right after we finish eating our noodles."
"Just leaving like that? Isn't that too impulsive?" An Xiaoyue asked, voicing her concern, "Is there enough time? Aren't you going to make some preparations?"
Ji Yubai entered his payment password without hesitation and showed the plane ticket to An Xiaoyue.
"You can just pack up and go. All you need to do is bring your ID and other documents. Everything else can be bought outside."
An Xiaoyue: Wow, you're rich and powerful!
But isn't this the exciting, unknown adventure that Lingxi longs for?
