Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School - Chapter 1332

1332 The Chosen One

The old man looked at Ji Haoyu as if he had long seen through everything. “Why? Are you embarrassed?”

“No…” Ji Haoyu smiled when he thought of the smile on Jian Ai’s face. “We’re alright.”

These words were a little ambiguous, and the old man raised his eyebrows. “You’re already together?”

Ji Haoyu shook his head. “It hasn’t reached that stage yet.”

Without waiting for the old man to ask, Ji Haoyu said, “But she said that she would consider it carefully. I think…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of shyness filled Ji Haoyu’s face. He lowered his head slightly, and even his voice was like bubbles. “She has me in her heart.”

The old man’s eyes widened when he saw this attitude. He knew his grandson the best. When had he seen Haoyu like this?

It seemed that he truly had feelings for Jian Ai.

“The girl is still young. Know your limits,” Old Ji suddenly said.

Ji Haoyu looked up and was about to say something when Old Ji said bluntly, “It’s not that Grandpa doesn’t agree to you being with Xiao Ai. This girl has her charm. I’m not surprised that you like her.”

“But this girl is not an adult yet, after all. There are some things she can do and some things she can’t. You know this very well.”

These words were quite obscure. Ji Haoyu was so smart that he naturally knew what his grandfather meant.

He quickly explained, “Grandpa, what are you thinking? I naturally won’t do anything out of line. Besides, Xiao Ai hasn’t agreed to me yet. As long as she agrees to be with me, I’ll treat her well.”

Seeing Ji Haoyu’s anxious look, Old Ji smiled helplessly and said, “Look at you. At the mention of Xiao Ai, you’ve changed completely. Since you were young, you’ve never been so concerned about a girl.”

“That’s good too. You’re already twenty-three years old. It’s time for you to fall in love.”

Ji Haoyu pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

If he had not met Jian Ai, he would not have known how it felt to be tempted by a girl. It was the feeling that others would say when they thought of someone and couldn’t help but smile. Their hearts would be filled.

Now, he had experienced it and was deeply infatuated.

On the way back to the city, Wang Yunmei sat in the front passenger seat and texted Jian Ai back with a smile.

“Auntie Mei, how’s Xiao Ai recently?” Ji Haoyu suddenly asked.

When Wang Yunmei heard this, she looked up and turned to look at Ji Haoyu. Then, she said, “She went abroad. Didn’t she tell you?”

Went abroad?

Ji Haoyu was slightly stunned. He did not know about this.

Because after he confessed that night, Jian Ai said that she would consider it. After that, Ji Haoyu did not contact Jian Ai.

He wanted to give Jian Ai enough space and time to think about their relationship.

Therefore, during this period, Ji Haoyu had been working obediently and did not disturb Jian Ai. Even on New Year’s Day, he only sent her a message.

“She didn’t tell me she went abroad. What’s the matter?” Ji Haoyu quickly asked.

Wang Yunmei answered, “I didn’t ask about the details, but when Xiao Ai goes abroad, it’s usually about the company’s business.”

“Where did she go?” Ji Haoyu asked again.

Wang Yunmei: “Yemen!”

Yemen?

Ji Haoyu immediately frowned. Ji Haoyu did not believe that Jian Ai’s company would have any business in such a small European country.

“Why don’t you call her? Her number is activated for long-distance calls,” Wang Yunmei suggested.

However, Ji Haoyu rejected her. “No need, Auntie Mei. I’ll wait for her to come back.”

Seeing Ji Haoyu want to say something but hesitated, Wang Yunmei understood. After a moment of silence, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Haoyu, you and Xiao Ai…”

Halfway through, the meaning was obvious.

Wang Yunmei’s sudden words shocked Ji Haoyu. His heart thumped. “Auntie Mei…”

“Don’t be nervous,” Wang Yunmei quickly said. “Auntie Mei has no intention of questioning you. Auntie Mei has been through this before, so she can tell.”

The more Wang Yunmei was like this, the more ashamed Ji Haoyu felt. After all, Wang Yunmei was Jian Ai’s mother. Her daughter was still underage, but he had already targeted her!

Wang Yunmei exposed him.

Ji Haoyu’s good-looking Adam’s apple moved. He wanted to smile but couldn’t. However, he heard Wang Yunmei say, “You’re a good child.”

These few words contained countless content, making Ji Haoyu even more uncertain.

Because he didn’t know if the words ‘you’re a good child’ were an exclamation or a statement.

Ji Haoyu did not dare to say anything and waited for Wang Yunmei to continue.

However, after a while, Wang Yunmei said nothing. Only then did Ji Haoyu heave a sigh of relief. The words ‘you’re a good child’ seemed to be a statement.

“Auntie Mei.” Ji Haoyu mustered his courage and said, “I really like Xiao Ai. Don’t worry about this.”

“If Xiao Ai gets together with me in the future, I’ll dote on her and love her. I won’t let her be bullied.”

This promise sounded old-fashioned, but to the inexperienced Ji Haoyu, it was already his sincerest and truest inner thoughts.

Ji Haoyu calmed himself down and continued, “I know Xiao Ai is not an adult yet. I might be a little anxious to do this, but I can’t control myself. I’m afraid she’ll run away…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yunmei couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ji Haoyu turned to look at Wang Yunmei in a panic, thinking that he had said something wrong.

Wang Yunmei shook her head with a smile. “You’re overthinking. Auntie Mei has no intention of objecting. I believe in Xiao Ai’s judgment. What she decides can’t be wrong.”

“And Xiao Ai is not young anymore. She should date at seventeen years old. It’s just right.”

Hearing Wang Yunmei’s words, Ji Haoyu couldn’t help but feel relieved. “Auntie Mei, do you really think so?”

Wang Yunmei nodded gently. “I know my daughter. She can always make the right decision. Even in the face of relationships, I believe she will make a rational choice.”

“Besides, Auntie Mei has feelings for you. If you can be with Xiao Ai, Auntie Mei will be very happy.”

If he were not driving, Ji Haoyu would probably jump up in excitement. However, even so, his heart could not be described with words.

With Auntie Mei’s approval, what was there to be afraid of?

His grandfather supported him, and Auntie Mei approved of him. At this moment, Ji Haoyu felt he was simply the chosen one. With just a nod from Jian Ai, he could bring his wife home!

However, at this moment, Jian Ai was still on the other side of the Earth, nervously waiting for the signal for the operation to start.

Another two days passed, but Robert and Gale still could not find the right time to attack the target. Jian Ai had already received news from Si Yue, Yun Buyao, Zhi Tong, and Duo that they already completed the mission.
