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

Chapter 587: Little Yebai Protecting His Wife 1

Ning Xixi saw him changing expressions and immediately grinned pleasingly, "Dabai, you’re even handsomer than him! And better looking! Singing... cough cough cough..."

Thinking about Ji Yebai’s singing out of tune, Ning Xixi coughed several times before cleverly saying, "I don’t like men who can sing!"

Ji Yebai glanced at her sideways, "Little flatterer."

"Hehe..."

...

After the sports meet ended, Grandpa Song and Grandpa Ji were still in high spirits and decided to go play golf together.

Ji’s dad and Ji’s mom also ditched them, off to enjoy a romantic world meant for two.

Ji Yebai originally planned to take Ning Xixi out for dinner but unexpectedly received a call from Ruan Xixia.

"Sister Xixia?"

"Mhm~ Little Yebai, I want to discuss something with you~" Ruan Xixia’s voice was soft and melodious, especially pleasant when she laughed.

Ji Yebai’s temples throbbed, "Good news or bad news?"

"Ouch, such a smart boy, not cute at all~" Ruan Xixia chided playfully before clearing her throat and saying, "It’s about Xixi. If it’s convenient, can you bring her to Yuxing Restaurant?"

Ji Yebai didn’t answer right away and asked Ning Xixi for her opinion, "Sister Xixia is asking, might not be anything good. Do you want to go?"

At the other end of the phone, Ruan Xixia’s mouth twitched. Emma, this Little Yebai, could he be any more protective of his wife? Was she going to eat Xixi?

Ning Xixi nodded naïvely and innocently, "Yeah, Sister Xixia is so nice, she wouldn’t sell me."

Ruan Xixia coughed guiltily.

"Come quickly, we... ah no, I’ll wait for you!"

The phone call was hurriedly ended.

Ji Yebai shook his head, seeing Ning Xixi’s innocent face and not having the heart to shatter her expectations, he drove her to Yuxing Restaurant.

Whatever happens, he’ll just have to handle it.

...

Yuxing Restaurant.

Pushing open the door to the private room, Ji Yebai raised an eyebrow.

Apart from Ruan Xixia, there was a middle-aged man with a beard, and a short-haired woman.

When they saw Ning Xixi following behind him, the man and woman’s eyes lit up as if they had discovered a treasure!

"Sister Xixia." Ji Yebai greeted Ruan Xixia, who stood up, "Let me introduce you."

"This is Director Li, and this is Screenwriter Murong."

"This is Second Young Master of the Ji Family, and the girl by his side, her name is Ning Xixi."

After exchanging greetings, Ruan Xixia pulled Ning Xixi to sit beside her, her finely made-up face breaking into a charming smile, "Xixi, actually, the reason I asked you here is because I really intended to sell you."

Ning Xixi: ...!!

Seeing Ning Xixi’s eyes widen in shock, the director and screenwriter’s gaze brightened even more!

It’s her! She’s the one!

"Dabai..." Ning Xixi looked at Ji Yebai pleadingly, who gave her a "don’t be afraid" look and softly said, "Sister Xixia, let’s cut to the chase, what do you want Ning Xixi to do? Act?"

"That’s right." Ruan Xixia openly admitted, "For the new show I’m about to star in, since the age span of the female lead is too wide, I can’t play her teenage years. The production team tried many actresses, but no one fit; not because those girls weren’t beautiful, but they didn’t have that pure ethereal feel that the script needed..."

"So, you’ve set your sights on Ning Xixi?" Ji Yebai narrowed his eyes.

Men from the Ji Family are indeed tough to deal with, Ruan Xixia thought to herself.

She ignored Ji Yebai and went straight for Ning Xixi, "Xixi, do you want to give it a try?"
