Chapter 78 Do You Have to Be So Mean?

"No way!" Yang Wanrong was the first to object. "If we find that woman back, won't the Chi family also belong to that woman? If Chi Jun'an loses the Chi family, what's the point of me wanting him?!"

"Wanrong, don't worry." Yang Guomao said. "After we find that woman, we're not going to let her recognize her family. As long as we have her in our hands, we can use her to coerce Chi Jun'an to be obedient. Then, are you still afraid that he won't marry you?"

"But what if we can't find her?" Yang Wanrong asked worriedly.

"Even if we really can't find her..." Yang Guomao said viciously. "Then we'll create one for him!"

Yang Wanrong's eyes lit up, and she finally felt completely at ease. She asked curiously, "Mom, how did the Chi family's daughter get lost?"

"Who knows." Liu Menglan recalled. "It seems that when she was just born, she was taken away by the Chi family's enemies. It caused quite a stir at that time, and the Chi family searched for a long time but couldn't find her."

"I see." Yang Wanrong nodded and didn't ask further.

Just as Chi Jun'an led Ji Xiaonuan out of the hospital, Zhou Kainan chased after them.

"Mu Chen!" he called out.

The two stopped in their tracks.

"What else is there?" Chi Jun'an asked indifferently.

Zhou Kainan glanced at Ji Xiaonuan hesitantly. Ji Xiaonuan was very sensible and said, "You two talk first. I'll wait for you in the car."

With that, she got into the car first.

"Mu Chen, are all the things you said true?" Zhou Kainan asked hesitantly.

"Kainan, we've been friends for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Chi Jun'an let out a sigh. "However, don't tell Xiaoxi those unsubstantiated rumors in the future."

"Did she tell you that?" Zhou Kainan raised his eyebrows awkwardly.

"No, I guessed it." Chi Jun'an said calmly. It wasn't difficult to guess.

"Sorry, Mu Chen," Zhou Kainan felt somewhat ashamed. "But this time, can you please spare the Yang family? Wanrong has encountered such a thing, and she might have been confused for a moment..."

"These days, you should talk to her more and try to persuade her." Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened a bit. "However, if the Yang family makes any more moves, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhou Kainan didn't say anything more.

Chi Jun'an got into the car. He gently took Ji Xiaonuan's hand and said with some apology, "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you here."

If he hadn't brought her here, she wouldn't have been scolded for no reason.

Ji Xiaonuan gently shook her head. "If you hadn't brought me here, I might have been making wild guesses and speculations on my own. And what if you weren't firm in your will and agreed to their forced marriage?"

"You don't trust me that much?" Chi Jun'an smiled softly. "Don't worry. The only person I want to marry is you."

Ji Xiaonuan's face turned red instantly. Really, why did Chi Jun'an suddenly bring up the topic of her?

"Drive me back quickly." Ji Xiaonuan urged shyly.

"You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Chi Jun'an smiled faintly. "Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry!" Ji Xiaonuan said angrily, but her stomach growled in response.

She couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

"I'll take you to have dinner first." Chi Jun'an said gently.

He took Ji Xiaonuan to a villa on the mountainside near the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Ji Xiaonuan got out of the car following Chi Jun'an, and a faint fragrance wafted into her heart.

She looked around in surprise. There was a beautiful flower field nearby. Ji Xiaonuan took a few steps closer and said in surprise and delight, "Roses!"

There was actually such a large rose field here. The bursts of fragrance blew over with the night wind, making people feel refreshed.

"It's a pity we didn't come here during the day." Ji Xiaonuan sighed.

Although the lights here were bright, it still couldn't compare to seeing these flowers clearly during the day. "I originally planned to bring you here during the day." Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"Ah?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him in surprise.

"I remember today is Christmas." He said softly. "I originally prepared a surprise for you..."

But as soon as he came back, Ji Xiaonuan gave him a shock.

She awkwardly changed the subject, "Is this also your home?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"Why did you plant roses here? Did you plant them for someone special?" Ji Xiaonuan said sourly. After all, roses represented love.

"I didn't plant them." Chi Jun'an explained calmly. "My father specially planted this rose field here to make my mother happy. After they passed away, I couldn't bear to let this place go to waste, so I hired someone to take care of it."

"Your father must have loved your mother very much." Ji Xiaonuan sighed.

Chi Jun'an looked at her with deep eyes.

For a moment, he really had the urge to tell her everything.

But he couldn't.

For her safety, he had to conceal the truth for now.

"Come on. Aren't you hungry?" Chi Jun'an took her hand and led her into the villa. The servant led them to the balcony on the second floor.

There was a table on the balcony, with bright red candles, delicate roses, and delicious food, which was obviously just prepared.

A candlelit dinner?

Ji Xiaonuan sat down in surprise. The red candles made her cheeks even redder.

The servant came forward and poured red wine into the transparent goblet.

Ji Xiaonuan looked worried and said in a low voice, "I'd better not drink wine..."

Last time she got drunk, she made a big fool of herself.

"Don't worry about getting drunk." Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"Is the alcohol content of this wine very low?" she asked.

"I mean, even if you get drunk, it doesn't matter. You can stay here." He smiled softly.

"..." Ji Xiaonuan was speechless. Suddenly, she thought about it and felt that she was rather stupid.

Chi Jun'an didn't ask her to finish the wine. What was she afraid of?

She raised the glass and took a sip. The faint astringency faded away, and her mouth was filled with the sweetness and richness of the red wine.

She couldn't help but pick up the knife and fork and start eating. She hadn't eaten dinner and had been running around with Chi Jun'an, so she was already hungry. After she had almost finished eating, suddenly, bright fireworks exploded in the nearby night sky.

Ji Xiaonuan looked up in surprise. Those beautiful fireworks bloomed one after another, presenting a breathtaking sight.

Looking at the bright light in her eyes, Chi Jun'an smiled faintly.

"When did you prepare this?" After the fireworks faded, Ji Xiaonuan looked at Chi Jun'an happily.

"I prepared it before I came back." Chi Jun'an said calmly, but there was still some regret in his heart. He had originally prepared other activities, but he had used all the time for climbing the balcony instead.

"Is this my Christmas present?" Ji Xiaonuan asked happily.

"These are just the warm-up." Chi Jun'an smiled faintly. "I originally planned to give you a few sets of postgraduate entrance examination questions..."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him resentfully. "Do you have to be so mean?"

"Close your eyes." Chi Jun'an suddenly said.

"What are you going to do?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him warily.
