Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School - Chapter 1284

1284 I Wanted to See You Sooner
Jian Ai was already used to Ji Haoyu being like this. Moreover, this might be too conspicuous to others, but to Ji Haoyu, this was obviously his daily state.

Coupled with his handsome face, it was probably difficult to keep a low profile.

Jian Ai also saw Ji Haoyu and was about to walk up to him when Guan Tao grabbed her arm. Guan Tao’s low voice sounded in her ear. “Xiao Ai, are you leaving with that person?”

Jian Ai paused and turned around to look at Guan Tao. She blinked in confusion.

Guan Tao glared at her and asked, “Didn’t you say that you have nothing to do with this handsome man?”

Guan Tao naturally remembered Ji Haoyu. After all, when Ji Haoyu first came to school to look for Jian Ai, Guan Tao was sitting beside Jian Ai. She was so close that she could even see the pores on Ji Haoyu’s face.

Later, she asked Jian Ai, and Jian Ai said that they only knew each other and were not familiar with each other.

Later, the school started talking about this person because he had taken over the Ji Group. Only then did Guan Tao know that the person who came to look for Xiao Ai was the eldest grandson of the Ji Group.

However, why was Xiao Ai getting closer to the other party?

Didn’t they say that they weren’t familiar?

Faced with Guan Tao’s doubts, Jian Ai couldn’t help but chuckle awkwardly. “Isn’t that in the past? I’m quite close to him now!”

Jian Ai did not lie or deliberately say anything against her conscience. Her relationship with Ji Haoyu was indeed getting better. In the past, her prejudice against him was because of her first impression of him. Later, after interacting with him, she slowly understood Ji Haoyu.

Of course, this did not rule out the possibility that Ji Haoyu deliberately performed in front of her because he coveted Jian Ai. However, at the bottom of it, Jian Ai had accepted Ji Haoyu.

“You, you…” Guan Tao opened her mouth and looked at Jian Ai, then at Ji Haoyu across the road. She said uncertainly, “Are you going to spend Christmas together?”

Jian Ai nodded. “Yes.”

“You’re together?” Guan Tao exclaimed!

Jian Ai’s face twitched. “Don’t think too much. There’s no such thing.”

“Xiao Ai, do you know what it means for a boy to celebrate Christmas with a girl?” Guan Tao asked.

When Jian Ai heard Guan Tao’s tone, she knew she had misunderstood again. She couldn’t help but smile helplessly and say, “Tao Zi, you’re thinking too much. We’re not going out alone for the holidays. Haoxue organized a party and invited me over. I thought since I had nothing to do, I’ll go over to play. There are many people at Haoxue’s house!”

Ji Haoxue would occasionally have lunch at the same table as Jian Ai in school, so Guan Tao knew her.

“Really?” Guan Tao looked at Jian Ai skeptically, as if she didn’t believe her completely.

Jian Ai rolled her eyes and sighed. “Of course. Don’t worry, if I fall in love, I’ll be the first to tell you!”

Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Guan Tao believed her. “Alright, I won’t care about you. Merry Christmas!”

“You too. Go back and change your clothes. Don’t let Gao Yang wait too long,” Jian Ai said and waved at Guan Tao. Then, she turned around and ran towards Ji Haoyu.

Ji Haoyu watched as Jian Ai chatted with her classmate for a long time, but he waited calmly. When he saw Jian Ai coming over, the smile on his face widened. It was a smile that came sincerely.

Nearby, Jian Ai stopped and looked up at Ji Haoyu’s face. She said, “I already said that you don’t have to specially pick me up. I’ll take a taxi myself.”

“I wanted to see you sooner.” Words of love came out as soon as he opened his mouth. Ji Haoyu’s face was not red, and his heart did not beat faster.

“Tsk.” Jian Ai sneered. She already had an immune system to Ji Haoyu’s shameless mushy words. She curled her lips indifferently and said, “When you lose your job in the future, you can use this mouth to say corny words of love to earn money!”

“These aren’t words of love. They’re heartfelt!” Ji Haoyu corrected her. “If you deliberately make a girl happy, those are words of love. This doesn’t count. This is real feedback from my heart.”

Ji Haoyu’s tone was indifferent, but it revealed a rare trace of seriousness. “The company has been too busy recently. I miss you very much, but I don’t have time.”

As he spoke, Ji Haoyu looked at Jian Ai without dodging. The emotions surging in his eyes were exceptionally sincere, making Jian Ai have nowhere to hide.

Facing Ji Haoyu’s sudden sincerity, Jian Ai blushed. In the next second, she looked away in time. She was afraid that his deep eyes would suck her in.

Her heart beat faster, and an inexplicable feeling surged in Jian Ai’s heart. Thinking of the days before the two of them met, she seemed to think of him occasionally.

Seeing Jian Ai avoid his gaze in such a panic, a trace of disappointment flashed across Ji Haoyu’s heart. He yearned for a response, but the girl did not take his words seriously every time.

Even if she took it seriously, it was still such a reaction.

However, Ji Haoyu was not angry. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. Then, he said, “Get in the car. I’ll send you back to change your clothes first.”

Jian Ai nodded and calmed herself down. She asked, “Aren’t we going to wait for Haoxue?”

“She’s already gone back in the family car. I’ll accompany you home to change,” Ji Haoyu said. He had already walked to the car door and opened the front passenger seat door. He raised his handsome eyebrows at Jian Ai. “Get in.”

Seeing this, Jian Ai walked over and got into the car. Then, she saw Ji Haoyu walk around the front of the car and get in from the driver’s seat.

The car started and drove towards North City.

Beside a big tree at the school gate, Lin Yi stood there and watched Ji Haoyu’s car gradually drive away. His eyes were calm, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry.

Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped outside the neighborhood. After Jian Ai loosened her seatbelt, she couldn’t help but turn to look at Ji Haoyu and invite, “Do you want to go up with me?”

Ji Haoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then, he smiled. “Alright.”

This was the first time Ji Haoyu had come to her rented home in North City after sending Jian Ai home countless times.

Ji Haoyu had been to the house in South City twice. Once, he even pretended to be asleep and stayed at Jian Ai’s house.

However, what made Ji Haoyu uncomfortable was that he knew Jian Ai lived with another person, and that person was a boy.

He naturally believed Jian Ai that they were just very good friends. But people were like this. They knew nothing would happen, but they couldn’t help but feel jealous.

After entering the house, although it was not big, it was exceptionally clean.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Jian Ai because Si Yue usually did housework like cleaning. Jian Ai only cleaned up occasionally.

“Sit anywhere you want. If you want to drink something, go to the fridge and get it yourself,” Jian Ai said as she changed into her slippers. However, she didn’t forget to remind him, “Oh right, remember to look at the expiration date. This friend of mine often forgets to throw away expired things.”
