Ji Ziyin pushed a cup of coffee to him and said with a smile, âThe Blue
Mountain I ordered for you doesnât have sugar, as per your habit. Try it?â
Lu Yiming lowered his head to look at the cup of coffee. He touched it but did not drink it.
Ji Ziyinâs heart skipped a beat when she saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, but she did not show it on her face. She was still elegant and beautiful as ever as she spoke to him gently, âWhat were you busy with yesterday? I asked you out, but you didnât reply.â
She had asked Lu Yiming out since yesterday and had even sent a lot of emotional words.
She originally thought that with Lu Yimingâs personality, he would definitely come out to see her. But in the end, Lu Yiming rejected her.
However, Ji Ziyin had never given up easily. Thus, she called him until he picked up.
In the end, Lu Yiming agreed to meet her today.
Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time and did not drink coffee, Ji Ziyin called the waiter and ordered two more pastries with afternoon tea.
After the waiter left, she pushed the sugar cubes on the table over and probed again, âWhy? Do you have nothing to say to me? We havenât seen each other for so long. Why are you acting like you donât know me? Itâs too hurtful-â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lu Yiming finally looked at her. Seeing Ji Ziyinâs outstanding face as usual and recalling what had happened recently, he took a deep breath and slowly said, âIâm getting married.â
Ji Ziyinâs smile gradually disappeared.
Lu Yiming pursed his lips and continued, âIâm getting married. Yesterday, I went to meet her with my parents. We have a good impression of each other.
Soon, the two families will discuss the details of the marriage.â
Ji Ziyin suppressed the disappointment in her heart and tightened her grip on the cup. She forced a smile and tried to look natural. âCongratulations.â
âWho is she? Do I know her?â
Lu Yiming lowered his eyes in disappointment. âYou know her. Sheâs from the Ling family.â
âLing Fei?â Ji Ziyin instantly guessed the right person.
Lu Yiming held the coffee cup and replied in a low voice, âYes.â
Ji Ziyin stopped talking.
The Lu family had always followed the Ji familyâs lead. She knew that the Lu family had always been trying to matchmake her with Lu Yiming. At that time, she had more choices and wanted to go further, so she stalled the Lu family for a long time. Her attitude was ambiguous.
In the end, she did not expect them to kick her to the curb in the blink of an eye. They were even afraid that Lu Yiming would get involved with her, so they immediately arranged a marriage partner for him.
Ji Ziyin knew Lu Yimingâs soon-to-be-married partner. The Ling family was Old Madam Xieâs motherâs family, and Ling Fei was Old Madam Xieâs grandniece.
In terms of family background, Ling Fei could not compare to her.
In terms of ability, it was even less worth comparing.
As for her appearance⦠Ling Fei was quite good-looking.
However, Ji Ziyin had never taken a âflower vaseâ like Ling Fei seriously. She had never thought that one day, her spare tire would be stolen by a âflower vaseâ that she had once looked down on. This situation had indeed exceeded her expectations.
She grew up with Lu Yiming. It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for him. It would also be a lie to say that she liked him a lot.
She loved herself and her power and status the most, but Ji Ziyin still felt a little uncomfortable upon learning that Lu Yiming was about to get married..
âDo you like her?â
