C48 Let Me be Your Boyfriend

Ji Chengxi was busy working in his office and was slightly surprised when he saw Le Xiaoting's call.

He picked up the phone and said in his still-gentle voice, "Hello."

"It's me, Le Xiaoting!"

"I know! I didn't expect you to call me.

"I want to ask if you're free today."

"Yes!" Ji Chengxi answered without hesitation.

"That's good. I just happen to have time today. Come to my house in the afternoon, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I get off work. About six o'clock." Ji Chengxi looked at the time on his wrist and said.

"I got it. There's nothing else, go on."

"Alright, farewell!"

"Bye bye!"

After hanging up, Ji Chengxi couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect Le Xiaoting to treat him to a meal so soon. Does this mean that she was interested in him as well?

Le Xiaoting left the villa and went straight to the supermarket. She picked some ingredients to cook in the supermarket and went straight home after buying some things.

She cleaned up the house briefly. It was already past 5 in the afternoon.

She began to prepare the food and cleaned up all the ingredients that she needed. After that, she looked at the pot of soup in the wok. It was almost ready as well.

When Ji Chengxi came over, it was almost 6: 30.

Le Xiaoting was busy in the kitchen when she heard her cell phone ring. "Hello."

"It's me, I'm already downstairs."

"Oh, come on up. I'll open the door for you."

Le Xiaotinghuo closed the door and took off her apron.

He walked to the door, and the moment he opened it, he saw Ji Chengxi standing at the door with a bunch of fresh flowers.

Le Xiaoting's face turned red the moment she saw the flowers. Few women were unmoved by the sight of the flowers, especially when she received them for the first time.

"This is for you!" Ji Chengxi handed the flowers to him.

"Thank you." She took it from him. He probably bought it out of politeness. "Come on in."

Ji Chengxi entered the room and looked around.

"Take a seat, the food is almost ready."

"Yes."

Ji Chengxi sat on the sofa and watched Le Xiaoting enter the kitchen. He looked around the small room she lived in. Although the place was small, it felt quite warm.

Le Xiaoting placed the prepared dishes on the table. Ji Chengxi walked over to take a look curiously.

"How come you've cooked so much? Can the two of us finish it alone?"

"Not a lot, just a bit more variety, because I don't know what you like to eat. You can take it as compensation."

"Alright, I can't wait."

After the two of them sat down, Ji Chengxi picked up his chopsticks and paid for it. Le Xiaoting looked at him nervously, "How is it delicious?"

Seeing that he didn't have any expression on his face, she didn't reply and continued, "I don't know what taste you like, so the taste is a little light. If you don't like it, there are still several other dishes. Try them on."

Ji Chengxi silently savored the other dishes, but he remained expressionless.

Le Xiaoting revealed a look of disappointment. "It looks like you don't even like them."

At this moment, Ji Chengxi suddenly laughed: "I'm teasing you, the food is very delicious, I really like it."

"Really? But when I saw your serious expression just now, you weren't trying to comfort me, were you!? "

"No, just now when I saw the expectant expression on your face, I wanted to tease you. You did pretty well. It seems that I'm going to make a beautiful meal out of you."

"You scared me to death. I thought that the things I prepared were not in your taste!"

"Hehe, is my feeling that important?" he asked seriously, staring into her eyes.

"Of course, the reason why I invited you here is to properly thank you. If you don't like this meal, then why are you still thanking me?"

"Is that all?"

"Anything else?" Le Xiaoting didn't understand what he meant.

"Nothing... Eat! "

"Yes." Le Xiaoting smiled and picked up her chopsticks to lower her head to eat with ease. Ji Chengxi then looked at her with disappointment in his eyes.

After dinner, the two of them went downstairs to take a walk and eat.

The two of them walked around the small district without saying a word to each other. Then Le Xiaoting's neighbor, Mrs Li, came in from outside and ran into them and said, "Xiaoting, you're taking a walk."

"Hello, Auntie Li!" Le Xiaoting greeted.

Mama Li said, "I haven't seen you in a while. I was busy dating." She looked at Ji Chengxi, "He's your boyfriend, right?"

Le Xiaoting and Ji Chengxi looked at each other and explained with a little embarrassment, "No, he's my friend!"

"Oh." Mother Li had a look of understanding on her face. It seemed that she still hadn't developed a boyfriend yet, so it was better not to disturb them. She said, "You guys go ahead. I'm going home. Bye bye."

"Un, goodbye Auntie Li."

After she finished talking to Mama Li, Le Xiaoting turned around and saw Ji Chengxi's tall body blocking her line of sight. At night, the dim light in the small area shone on his well-defined face, making his facial features seem more three-dimensional.

His pitch black eyes looked down at her, making Le Xiaoting feel a little pressured.

She nervously asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let me be your boyfriend." Ji Chengxi didn't say that out loud. From her eyes, he felt that she didn't have that kind of awareness and was afraid that if he said it out loud, he would scare her.

Looking at her questioning eyes, Ji Chengxi smiled and said: "It's nothing, let's go back."

"Oh, okay."

Turning around, they walked back.

Downstairs, Ji Chengxi said, "It's time for me to go back. Thank you for your hospitality today, I really like it."

"Don't say that, I should be the one thanking you."

"Hehe, I said before, don't be polite with me, let's … It's a friend. "

"En!" Le Xiaoting smiled.

He looked at the time and said, "I'm going back. You go up."

"Alright!"

After Le Xiaoting disappeared into the corridor, Ji Chengxi opened the door and got in the car. Today, he drove back to the company in order to keep his appointment as he still had some work to do.

It was almost nine o'clock. She thought that Ann Yucheng would need three or five days for his business trip, and today was already the third day, so she was afraid that if he returned tomorrow morning and found out that she wasn't here, he would give her a deadline according to the punishment for being lazy. Then she would go out and fight her way back to the villa.

He opened the door and entered the living room. It was extremely quiet. It seemed like the CEO hadn't come back yet.

When she had finished her bath alone, she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, wiped her hair, sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, he got up out of boredom and went to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator to see what was delicious.

She suddenly thought of the ice cream Ann Yucheng bought for her, so she took out a box and sat back in the living room. She watched TV while happily eating the ice cream.
