Chapter 814: Preparing for the Future
Wang Yunmei also said, “Xiao Ai is right. We can stay here now. The house in South City hasn’t been demolished yet.”
Ji Haoyu didn’t force her. He only said to Wang Yunmei, “Auntie, don’t stand on ceremony with me. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Jian Ai looked at Ji Haoyu, who was so attentive to her mother, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.
The middle-aged woman’s ears softened. Ji Haoyu had obviously coaxed her mother with just a few words.
Wang Yunmei smiled and nodded in agreement, calling for Ji Haoyu to eat more.
The meal was quite harmonious. Jian Ai was like a complete outsider. She only listened to Ji Haoyu and her mother talk and laugh.
After dinner, Ji Haoyu sat on the sofa and looked at Jian Ai. “Where are you going later?”
Jian Ai looked at him and knew what he meant. He was waiting to send her off.
“Back to South City,” Jian Ai answered casually.
She was going to the capital to take part in the competition, so she had to go back and pack two sets of clothes.
“I’ll send you off,” Ji Haoyu said.
As expected.
Jian Ai looked up at him again and saw that he was texting on his phone.
Forget it. It was not the first time he had sent her off.
It was getting late, so Jian Ai walked to the kitchen door and said to Wang Yunmei, “Mom, I’m leaving.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Haoyu appeared behind Jian Ai. “Auntie, I’ll send Xiao Ai back to South City.”
Seeing this, Wang Yunmei quickly rubbed her hand on her apron and quickly walked out. “Alright, it’s already past eight in the evening. Auntie won’t keep you anymore. If you want to eat Auntie’s food again, come over anytime.”
Ji Haoyu smiled and nodded. “Alright, thank you, Auntie.”
After going downstairs, the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet. Only the dim streetlights shone on the road.
Jian Ai walked in front while Ji Haoyu followed behind her unhurriedly.
“Your mother seems to like me a lot,” Ji Haoyu suddenly said as he looked at Jian Ai’s swaying ponytail.
Jian Ai answered expressionlessly, without looking back, “My mother is a loving person. She likes everyone.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai said, “Besides, do you think making my mother happy is useful to me?”
Ji Haoyu raised his eyebrows slightly. “I’m going deep behind the enemy’s back and infiltrating its ranks to prepare for the future.”
“Hah.” Jian Ai immediately sneered. “You’re thinking too far ahead. You haven’t even figured out yet, but you’re already thinking about the future? Don’t always think about unrealistic things. Be realistic.”
Ji Haoyu smiled and looked at Jian Ai’s stubborn back. His eyes quietly turned gentle.
They drove all the way to South City. In the end, the car slowly stopped by the fence outside the wooden gate.
As soon as the car engine turned off, before Jian Ai could unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car, Ji Haoyu, who was in the driver’s seat, opened the car door first. Then, under Jian Ai’s inexplicable gaze, he walked to the door and stood there, as if waiting for someone to open the door and let him in.
Seeing this, Jian Ai quickly got out of the car and stood outside the door. She looked at Ji Haoyu and asked, “What do you want?”
Ji Haoyu casually stuffed his hands in his pockets and said, “I’ll go in and sit.”
His tone could be said to be unreasonable and strong.
Jian Ai immediately rolled her eyes. This person was too self-aware. Did she invite him?
Ji Haoyu said nothing and just looked at her with a pair of deep and dark eyes.
After a while, Jian Ai expressed she was convinced!
