Chapter 297 Bottom Line (7)
Ji Xiao changed into clothes for going out. She was wearing an exquisite beige cheongsam with a rabbit fur collar, embroidered with gorgeous peach blossoms. The hem of the skirt reached her ankles, making her look elegant and charming. She was wearing a long cape in the same color, which added a sense of mystery and nobility.
She was wearing a pair of white pearl leather shoes, which shone with a warm luster. It is worth mentioning that except for the shoes and leggings, the rest of the clothes were made by Ji Xiao herself.
She simply applied some sunscreen to block ultraviolet rays, drew her eyebrows, and finally put on peach-colored lip gloss. She looked like a fresh and refined flower.
In addition, she did not take a handbag, but put her lipstick, mobile phone and car keys into the pockets specially sewn on the inside of the cape.
This way, it is both convenient and free.
Ji Xiao walked to the door and told her grandmother, "Grandma, I'm going out. I have an access card with me. If someone knocks on the door, please don't open it."
"Got it." Grandma also reminded with concern: "Remember to go home early at night. It's not safe outside after dark."
"I know." Ji Xiao replied casually, then waved goodbye to her grandmother and headed towards where Song Feifei was.
After arriving at the agreed location, Ji Xiao discovered that Song Feifei had already fallen down and was now putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
"Fei Fei, you are dressed so beautifully today. Is it because the blind date this time is very much to your liking?" Ji Xiao chuckled and asked teasingly.
Song Feifei blushed and replied coquettishly, "Oh, no way! However, the person I'm going to meet this time was indeed carefully selected by my mother according to the standards I set.
I heard that he is quite good, but our family is not short of money. Most importantly, he is really handsome!" Song Feifei said, revealing a crazy expression.
Ji Xiao smiled slightly and expressed her blessing.
Because by observing Song Feifei's face, she had already seen that they were destined to be together.
At this moment, a low-key luxury car slowly drove up and stopped at the roadside. The car door was pushed open from the inside, and a handsome man in a neat suit stepped out. He walked towards them with a smile on his face.
"Hello, are you Miss Song Feifei?" The man looked at the pretty Song Feifei and asked politely.
Song Feifei couldn't help but look at him with some surprise, her heart beating faster. "Yes, I am Song Feifei. Who are you...?"
"I'm your blind date, Lu Ming." The man introduced himself.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my good friend, Ji Xiao." Song Feifei hurriedly introduced.
"Hello, Miss Ji." Lu Ming nodded politely to Ji Xiao.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!" Ji Xiao nodded to the other party politely.
Then his gaze returned to Song Feifei again, his eyes flashing with joy and admiration.
He said softly, "Ms. Feifei, you are really beautiful today. I hope we will have a pleasant time together in the future."
Ji Xiao watched from the side, secretly happy for Song Feifei. She found that Lu Ming was not only outstanding in appearance, but also very decent in speech and behavior.
More importantly, according to Ji Xiao's observation, this blind date was most likely proposed by Mr. Lu!
Because, just now she carefully looked at Lu Ming's face, and combined with the conclusion of Song Feifei's face, Ji Xiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart: They are really a match made in heaven!
And it seems that this man has been secretly in love with Feifei for many years, tsk tsk tsk...
However, these have nothing to do with me.
So, Ji Xiao shook her head in her heart, then turned to Song Feifei and said, "Fei Fei, you and Mr. Lu get along well, I'm going to go for a stroll~"
"Yeah, okay, Xiaoxiao." At this moment, Song Feifei was staring at Lu Ming intently, completely immersed in her own infatuated world. She didn't hear clearly what Ji Xiao said at all, and just said perfunctorily.
Seeing this, Ji Xiao looked at Lu Ming awkwardly, and said helplessly: "Mr. Lu, please take care of Feifei. She is not like this normally. I'll leave you now."
"Okay, Miss Ji, please do as you please." Lu Ming didn't bother to be polite with Ji Xiao. After all, this blind date with Song Feifei was an opportunity he had carefully planned for a long time.
Ji Xiao strolled around the mall for more than two hours. She bought a lot of household items and asked the mall staff to put them in the car. Then she returned to the mall, found a coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down to rest.
At this moment, the sky outside the mall gradually became dim. Ji Xiao sat quietly by the window, sipping coffee while looking at the scenery outside the window without any focus. She exuded a kind of isolated and cool aura, as if nothing around her could disturb her inner peace.
This was the first impression Zhou Yian had when he first saw Ji Xiao while standing outside the mall.
Zhou Yian had just got off work and had not yet had time to go home when he suddenly received a call from his mother urging him to go on a blind date.
So, he could only drive to the mall reluctantly, but he compromised at the first sight of Ji Xiao, so Zhou Yian quickened his pace and walked towards the coffee shop.
After entering the store, Zhou Yian quickly walked up to Ji Xiao and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Zhou Yian nervously grabbed Ji Xiao's hand before she could even speak, and then he began to introduce himself: "Hello! My name is Zhou Yian, and I'm your blind date today. I'm 28 years old and still single.
My home is local, I have a car but no house. I live with my parents now, and both of them are in good health.
I am currently working in Xingcheng District People's Court as a legal assistant. However, please believe me, I will definitely get a promotion opportunity in no time.
If possible, I hope to date you with the intention of getting married."
Ji Xiao looked at Zhou Yian who was serious, and couldn't help feeling curious and interesting. She thought to herself, this was the first time she met someone so direct and sincere!
The main reason is that this is the first time she has encountered such a blind date with the wrong person.
So, when Zhou Yian finished speaking, Ji Xiao smiled slightly, and then said softly: "Hello, my name is Ji Xiao, I am 22 years old. I just graduated last year, I studied landscape design, and I am currently single.
I come from Baiyun Village under the jurisdiction of Xingcheng District. My family is well off, with a car, a house, and some savings. In addition, my family also has dozens of acres of land, two orchards, and a small pond.
My grandmother is the only relative still alive in my family, so I need to inherit the family business and run this small farm.
Considering that you are too busy with work and may not have much time for dating, if you are willing, we can get married first and then slowly cultivate our relationship. "
In fact, when Ji Xiao said her name, Zhou Yian realized that he had made a mistake in his blind date. However, Ji Xiao did not reject him and introduced herself so sincerely, so he just went with the flow. The main reason was that he was shamelessly moved after seeing Ji Xiao up close.
It’s not because of her conditions, but because she is a really good-looking person.
Zhou Yian didn't want to miss Ji Xiao, so he continued, "In that case, why don't we add each other as friends first. My work isn't too busy recently, so I can take a day off tomorrow to visit your home and get the certificate. What do you think?"
Ji Xiao nodded and replied happily, "Okay! That's settled. Go to the government hall tomorrow and wait for me. We'll get the marriage certificate first, and then I'll take you home to get acquainted with the family."
In the afternoon, we can go to your house together. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"
"Okay, then shall I pick you up tomorrow?" He looked at her with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Ji Xiao smiled and shook her head gently: "No need, let's meet directly at the government hall. By the way, you see people wear matching rings when they get married. There just happens to be a jewelry store next door. Should we go over and take a look?"
Zhou Yian thought about his savings and nodded in agreement. After all, other people had some, and he also wanted to arrange it for Ji Xiao.
"Then let's go and take a look now."
"Okay, let's go." The two stood up and walked towards the next room side by side.
As soon as she entered the store, the clerk greeted her warmly. Ji Xiao walked straight to the ring display area without any hesitation and focused on choosing a ring.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at a pair of rings and said, "Could you please take out this pair of rings for us to try?"
The clerk smiled and replied, "Yes, ma'am."
The design of this pair of rings is simple yet elegant. The men's version is simple and generous, which is very suitable for Zhou Yian to wear during daily work; the women's version is more refined, and the simple lines outline a unique beauty.
Ji Xiao put on the ring and looked at it carefully, then turned to look at Zhou Yian who was standing beside her and asked softly, "What do you think?"
Zhou Yian reached out and picked up the ring, and tried it on his own hand. The size was just right. He nodded slightly and replied, "It's pretty good, but I just saw some other different styles. Do you want to try some more?"
"No need, the other styles are not suitable for your daily work. This one is very suitable." Ji Xiao shook his head and insisted on his choice.
After paying, she put the ring back on with a bright smile on her face. Zhou Yian watched her smile silently, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
"Thank you, Ji Xiao." Zhou Yian couldn't help but say softly.
Ji Xiao looked up in surprise when she heard that, with a puzzled gleam in her eyes, "Why are you thanking me? It should be me who is grateful to you." She blinked mischievously, with a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Let's go, let's find a place to eat something and celebrate." Ji Xiao took Zhou Yian's hand, and they walked out of the jewelry store together.
As the night deepened, the lights of the city shone brightly, like stars falling on earth. They walked side by side, chatting happily as they walked, and their understanding of each other became deeper and deeper without them realizing it.
"Looking forward to tomorrow." Ji Xiao raised her head and looked up at the dark sky above her.
This was her first time marrying a man she had only met once, but it was quite novel.
