I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 336 Tearing the White Lotus Apart 3

Yan Yichen was all smiles and laughter, "Yes, indeed."

Oh my god!

That damn squinty-eyed guy, what helping her out? He’s clearly trying to harm her, isn’t he?

Watching Ning Xixi’s anxious and flustered demeanor, Yan Yichen raised his voice as if intentionally for Ji Yebai to hear.

"Little Xixi, having a boyfriend with strong male chauvinism and possessiveness is very tiring. I think you should look for someone gentle and considerate, who takes care of you, spoils you, and doesn’t lose his temper with you."

"If he doesn’t treat you well, you can come to me," Yan Yichen said with an ambiguous and affectionate tone.

His side vision caught sight of a certain young master’s face turning dark not far away, and Yan Yichen’s lips curved with a triumphant smile.

Ning Xixi swatted away his hand and nervously looked back, and sure enough, Ji Yebai was standing not far away.

With one hand in his pocket, his jawline was taut, and his deep, ancient-like eyes shone with an unclear and unpredictable sheen.

The two locked eyes, and for a moment, neither spoke.

"Little Xixi, you’re so distracted while dining with me," Yan Yichen tapped Ning Xixi’s head gently, "Tonight is my grandfather’s birthday feast, and I’d like to invite you to be my female companion."

Ning Xixi gasped softly, "Ah? Why me?"

"Because you’re my grandfather’s type, and naturally, we want to make the old man happy on his birthday."

However, Yan Yichen would definitely not admit that because there were rumors spreading he was gay, which had reached the Yan Family, he needed to bring a female companion to prove his innocence!

"Can I not go..."

"No, you can’t," Yan Yichen chuckled, "I’ve helped you, and as a friend, you should also help me in return. It’s only polite, don’t you understand?"

"You’re clearly harming me!" Ning Xixi protested indignantly.

"You’ll soon find out whether I’m harming you or not," Yan Yichen said confidently, glancing at Ji Yebai.

Ning Xixi was terrified, thinking Ji Yebai would come over and drag her away for a scolding, but unexpectedly, Ji Yebai just stared at her with a deep and stern face, making no move.

"Mr. Ji, can I go to the Yan Family’s birthday banquet with you tonight?" Ma Yiqing, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a while, approached gracefully and asked in a seemingly gentle and elegant manner.

Ning Xixi clutched her dress tightly. Ji Yebai wouldn’t agree, would he?

He wouldn’t, right...

"Sure."

The two words, cool and indifferent, landed in Ning Xixi’s ears!

He actually agreed to Ma Yiqing!

Yan Yichen smirked, "Little Xixi, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your consent."

Feeling petulant, Ning Xixi pouted, "I agree with you!"

Immediately after, Ji Yebai turned and left, his silhouette proud and nonchalant.

Ma Yiqing gave Ning Xixi a smug look and hurriedly followed, lifting her dress.

Ning Xixi kicked the table in frustration. She was just trying to irritate Ji Yebai, but why did she feel so sad while doing it?

...

Nighttime at the Yan Family.

The lights were bright, and it was lively and boisterous.

Ma Yiqing was dressed beautifully and tried to link arms with Ji Yebai, but he frowned and dodged her.

"Mr. Ji..." Ma Yiqing’s voice sounded aggrieved, "Hey, don’t you think Xixi is too childish? If I were her, I definitely wouldn’t be coquettish with you. If Yiqing were with you, I would belong to you completely..."

She blew gently into Ji Yebai’s ear and tried to snuggle up to him with all her feigned tenderness...
