He had known her for so long, but he had never told her about it.

"Do you really want to say it?" There was a look of struggle and hesitation on his face, but now was not the time to talk about it.

Shang Xiaomo, who had predicted this outcome, had complex emotions in his eyes, yet did not know what to say.

"Yes." Ji Yanxi had difficulty opening his mouth in the end. He did not choose to lie to her, but it was just that he did not intend to tell her now either.

"But I can't tell you now." Ji Yanxi straightened Shang Xiaomo's body and regretfully told her.

Shang Xiaomo lowered her head, looking completely lost. She did not say a word, and only used her feet to draw circles on the ground.

Ji Yanxi didn't know what to say at this time to change the topic.

"If that's the case, then I'll head back first." Shang Xiaomo lowered his head in disappointment, released the hand around his waist, rejected his jacket and turned around. Step by step, he returned to the Shang clan's residence with heavy footsteps.

Ji Yanxi watched as she walked in gloomily and closed the door, and then let out a light sigh, she stood there like a wooden stake, and after standing there for a while, she left.

Shang Xiaomo returned to her room and hid behind the curtains. When she peeked her head out, she found that the carriage and the man had long since disappeared.

Shang Xiaomo retracted her gaze and sat on the bed blankly for an entire night, until the half-crescent moon changed into the resplendent morning glow.

Ji Yanxi kept driving like that, turning and driving aimlessly. In the end, he drove the car to a high carriage and sat inside until the sky started to brighten before he started the car and dragged his exhausted body back to Ji Family.

"Young Master." The servants who woke up early greeted Ji Yanxi respectfully.

"En," Ji Yanxi replied indifferently. There was no other expression on his face, as he nodded his head in greeting.

When he turned the corner of the room, he unexpectedly saw Old Master Ji standing in front of his room.

"What were you busy with last night? Why did you return so late? " There was a slight hint of blame within Old Master Ji's words, but it was mostly heartache.

Looking at the light cyan color beneath Ji Yanxi's eyes, he knew that Ji Yanxi had not slept for the entire night.

Ji Yanxi faced Old Master Ji, and looked at his concerned eyes, but could not bear to lie to him, so he said honestly: "I went to see someone."

"Is it the merchant girl?" Hmph, he didn't need to guess to know.

"I've never seen you be so concerned about a girl. What's so good about her?" Old Master Ji said half-jokingly, but he was tactfully reminding Ji Yanxi not to hold up other important matters for a woman.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry. This time, I did not handle it well. It won't happen again. " Ji Yanxi thought that the old man was here to investigate the responsibility and looked at him guiltily. However, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Forget it, this time's matter is not your fault. However, you can be considered to have benefited from misfortune. I have some good news to tell you." The old man intentionally kept them in suspense, but Ji Yanxi seemed to be uninterested.

"This has to do with the merchant girl."

Old Master Ji laughed, and looked at Ji Yanxi with a questioning look as he raised his head. Sure enough, when his grandson met the little girl from the Shang family, he would become completely different from his original self.

"Do you want to know?" Old Master Ji looked at his own grandson, as if he wasn't going to tell him.

"Go ahead, grandfather." In the end, Ji Yanxi couldn't help but speak first.

"You told me to say that, so I'll reluctantly tell you." Mentioning the important matter, Old Master Ji's face immediately became serious.

"The merchant received an anonymous warning letter after what happened to our family. Obviously, someone was doing this on purpose, but the purpose was still unknown. But most importantly, the final decision of the Shang family is to marry us. "

Ji Yanxi was slightly surprised, Xiao Mo did not tell him earlier, "Has Xiaomo agreed to this matter?"

Old Master Ji laughed, "If I say that she did not agree, would you believe me?"

Hearing this, the large stone in Ji Yanxi's heart, finally landed safely.

The way Xiaomo looked like she was hesitating to speak last night was probably related to this matter.

"Damn it, why didn't I notice it?" Ji Yanxi patted his head in annoyance, he felt that his reaction was so slow, even the little white rabbit couldn't guess what was going on in his mind.

Suddenly, Ji Yanxi who had thought through all these, a light smile appeared on his handsome face, the haze on his face previously disappeared and was replaced by the bright spring sunshine.

This news could be said to be a pleasant surprise. She initially thought that she did not understand what the little white rabbit was thinking and was secretly vexed. But now, it was as if the heavens had given him a big surprise.

"It seems like Little White also likes him. Otherwise, why would he agree to the marriage?" Old Master Ji also noticed the mischievous smile on Ji Yanxi's face and was slightly startled.

It was unknown since when he had not seen his grandson's face brimming with such a happy smile.

It seemed that his grandson really liked that little girl from the Shang family.

"Don't go to work today, rest well at home!" Old Master Ji knew that Ji Yanxi definitely did not rest well for that matter recently.

"Yes, grandfather." Ji Yanxi's current mood was incomparably relaxed. After confirming Shang Xiaomo's intentions, he no longer let his imagination run wild.

As for the matter that he didn't tell her last night, it seemed that he could tell her in advance.

He had been planning to take her to the fishing village and tell her that he knew her from then on. But before that, he needed to recover his spirit first.

"Hurry up and go." Honestly speaking, Old Master Ji was also very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law of his. Seeing his grandson being so happy, his face was brimming with smiles, just like an old child.

That Old Master Ji of the past that could shake the world in the market had such a cute side to it.
