Chi Guihe, Chi Yunjin, and Luo Qianqian were chatting leisurely about jewelry design when suddenly Chi Yan cued them.
She frowned slightly and looked up at Chi Yan.
The incident of Fu Si being mistaken as her boyfriend had only been clarified with a few relevant people around her, and she hadn’t bothered with anyone else of little importance.
However, she hadn’t expected it to now give Chi Yan an opportunity to capitalize on it.
"Chi Gui, have you found a boyfriend?" Chi Yunjin seemed genuinely happy, simply delighted that Chi Gui would have someone to care for her in the future.
Chi Gui, "No, I..."
She didn’t finish again because there was another exclamation at the door.
Even more intense than when Su Qing arrived.
"Who is that person?" Many people were asking in hushed tones.
Chi Gui looked up and saw Fu Si standing at the entrance, his phoenix eyes smiling warmly as he patiently explained to the doorman, "I’ve come to take Chi Gui home."
He was dressed in a gray shirt, his figure tall and slender. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, those phoenix eyes were like ink-stained water, bottomlessly dark, yet the slightly upturned corners seemed to hide infinite tenderness.
Elegant and cultured, he outshone Su Qing in terms of mere presence by several streets.
No wonder his appearance caused such a stir.
Even Chi Yunjin couldn’t help herself, "What a handsome young man, Chi Gui, if you could find a boyfriend like him, you’d be set for life!"
Chi Gui: ...
Suddenly, she regretted agreeing to have Fu Si come.
That previous relative spoke, "I was wondering whose boyfriend he was; turns out it’s Chi Gui’s, no wonder..."
The word "no wonder" expressed clear disdain and scorn.
"No matter what, it’s great that Chi Gui could find such a handsome boyfriend from a well-off family," said someone, trying to smooth things over upon seeing Zhao Yuexiu’s unmistakably sour expression.
For a rural girl like Chi Gui to find a wealthy boyfriend like Fu Si was indeed seen as great in the eyes of the world.
Chi Gui had never cared for anyone’s opinion apart from that of her aunt and now couldn’t be bothered to explain to them, seeing that Fu Si had arrived, she stood up ready to leave.
She turned to Chi Yunjin and Luo Qianqian at her side, "Shall we go together?"
"I..." Chi Yunjin looked hesitantly at Chi Ruoxi.
If it wasn’t for wanting to network for her daughter’s sake, she wouldn’t want to be here facing ridicule.
Chi Gui smiled, knowing it wasn’t the time for explanations, and simply said, "Don’t worry about the jewelry design, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."
