Zheng Nanfeng was a bit dazed, but still obediently took a look.
As soon as he did, his face darkened.
"Aunt Wei, why is it him again?"
Wei Yanlan was extremely anxious. "Nanfeng, I'm telling you, you've got to have a sense of urgency."
Zheng Nanfeng gritted his teeth in anger. "Aunt Wei, don't worry. I will never let this guy get ahead of me."
Wei Yanlan nodded and immediately came up with an idea. "In my opinion, you should go to the film crew right now and stay by Xiaoli's side."
Zheng Nanfeng humbly asked for advice. "But I'm afraid if I go like this, Xiaoli might be unhappy."
Wei Yanlan sighed. "Silly boy, you can just invest in that TV station and say you're going there for an inspection. Isn't that easy?"
"Right!" Zheng Nanfeng suddenly realized. "Then Aunt Wei, I'll get ready to go now."
Wei Yanlan quickly reminded him. "Remember, Xiaoli responds better to gentle persuasion than force. You've got to make me proud!"
Zheng Nanfeng discussed with Aunt Wei, his military advisor, for a while longer, and then quickly arranged for his investment in the film crew...
Early the next morning, Ji Xiaoli prepared to set up her stall as usual.
The only difference from before was that Zhong Canxi was bustling around her all the time.
Every time Ji Xiaoli wanted to decline, she just couldn't say a word when she saw Zhong Canxi's handsome face.
After all, he was her idol for many years, and there was still an emotional foundation.
After she and Zhong Canxi had arranged today's goods, a man wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker walked over.
"Please wrap all these up. I'll buy them all!"
Ji Xiaoli was a bit surprised. She didn't expect to complete her task so quickly today.
There was such a big customer today who wanted to buy everything.
But she was running a cake shop today. Wasn't it too many cakes?
"Sir, are you sure you want them all?"
The man nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm sure and certain."
Ji Xiaoli sensed something was off.
The voice seemed a bit familiar.
"You?"
The man retorted, "What about me?"
Ji Xiaoli looked up and sized up the man carefully.
Black hat, black windbreaker, black sunglasses. He looked kind of cool.
But it was the middle of summer. Wasn't he hot in all that black?
"Cough, why are you looking at me?"
The voice was obviously lowered, but this figure...
Ji Xiaoli immediately recognized him. "Zheng Nanfeng, why are you here?"
Seeing that he was recognized, Zheng Nanfeng took off his sunglasses and looked innocent. "Cough, I'm here to inspect my investment project and drop by to see someone. Is there a problem?"
"Investment?" Ji Xiaoli looked at him suspiciously.
The more she listened, the more it seemed like an excuse.
Zheng Nanfeng looked upright. "Of course. I'm the young master of the Zheng family after all. It's only natural for me to make some necessary investments."
Although this investment was just a cover for pursuing someone.
Ji Xiaoli's memory wasn't so bad that she'd forgotten the confession from a while ago. She just nodded half - believingly. "Okay."
"Xiaoli!" Zhong Canxi suddenly came in.
His flower shop was next door. He came over immediately when he heard something was wrong.
Seeing Zheng Nanfeng, he showed a fake smile that was easy to spot. "Hello, Young Master Zheng. Are you here to see our Xiaoli?"
Hearing the word "our", Zheng Nanfeng's expression suddenly turned dangerous.
What did he mean by "our"?
Ji Xiaoli was definitely going to be a part of his Zheng family for life!
Zheng Nanfeng showed disdain. "I'm talking to my Xiaoli. What are you butting in for?"
Zhong Canxi choked. Then he suddenly looked at Ji Xiaoli with a bit of sorrow. "Xiaoli, it seems that Young Master Zheng doesn't welcome me. He..."
Ji Xiaoli saw that even the strong Zhong Canxi was angered by Zheng Nanfeng. This was unacceptable!
She immediately glared at Zheng Nanfeng. "Zheng Nanfeng, stop causing trouble here, okay?"
He was even making Zhong Canxi uncomfortable.
Who would have thought that Zheng Nanfeng would explode at this. "Where am I causing trouble? This vixen just knows how to put on an act."
In his eyes, anyone who flirted with Ji Xiaoli was a vixen.
Zhong Canxi looked guilty. "Sorry, Young Master Zheng. It's my fault. I made you uncomfortable. Xiaoli, maybe I should leave first."
Humph, even with Zheng Nanfeng around, he was going to use this tactic of retreating to advance.
Sure enough, between the guilty - looking Zhong Canxi and the overbearing Zheng Nanfeng, Ji Xiaoli chose the former.
"Zheng Nanfeng, did you come here just to anger me? If you keep this up, go back."
He was actually bullying someone right in front of her.
Zheng Nanfeng gave Zhong Canxi a fierce look, then turned to apologize. "Xiaoli, I was wrong. It's all my fault. I won't anger you anymore."
He apologized very straightforwardly, which softened Ji Xiaoli's attitude a bit.
She sighed. "Fine. Do as you like."
Zhong Canxi quietly stepped between them. "Young Master Zheng is our customer. We will surely serve you well."
He emphasized the word "our" especially.
Zheng Nanfeng gritted his teeth in anger, but Ji Xiaoli was glaring at him from the side. "Sure. Then please serve me well."
You said I'm a customer? Just wait and see how I deal with you.
Zhong Canxi smiled very politely. "Sorry, our shop is already closed. Please come back tomorrow."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli was surprised. "Did you sell out so quickly?"
This was only his first time at the program crew.
Zhong Canxi said subtly, "I sold without my sunglasses on."
Ji Xiaoli understood. The TV show Zhong Canxi starred in had just won an award, and many people recognized him. He had sold out all his flowers just by showing his face.
Zheng Nanfeng immediately snorted disdainfully. "A real man doesn't rely on his face. Of course, he should rely on his strength."
Zhong Canxi replied flawlessly. "Isn't this also a form of strength?"
Ji Xiaoli watched them bickering like children.
She felt as if she had suddenly become a kindergarten teacher.
She suddenly felt a headache. "Okay, stop arguing. If you have nothing to do, just go back."
Zhong Canxi naturally wouldn't leave so easily. He handed Ji Xiaoli a glass.
"This is the flower tea I just brewed. Xiaoli, try it and see how it tastes."
Zheng Nanfeng's face froze. He miscalculated. He didn't expect this vixen to be so good at this.
He came up with an idea on the spot. "Xiaoli, how about we go to that music restaurant for dinner tonight? It's the same place as before."
Zhong Canxi wasn't willing to be outdone. "Xiaoli, you liked the food I made yesterday, right? How about I cook for you again tonight?"
Zheng Nanfeng forced a smile. "Xiaoli, you thought my breakfast was good, didn't you? How about you come to my place and I'll make another meal for you."
Zheng Nanfeng: "Xiaoli..."
Zhong Canxi: "Xiaoli..."
Seeing that they wouldn't stop, Ji Xiaoli felt extremely annoyed.
What they didn't notice was that a passer - by was looking at the scene in the store in shock.
"My goodness, isn't that Ji Xiaoli?"
