Jian Ai felt God had tricked her.

In the heat of the moment, she let Ji Haoyu be her shield because she thought that her mother would have nothing to do with Ji Haoyu.

But now, she had invited him home. Moreover, it seemed that the two of them were more familiar with each other than she was with Ji Haoyu.

“Don’t just stand there. Go out and accompany Haoyu,” Wang Yunmei said and pushed Jian Ai.

Jian Ai took the opportunity to leave the kitchen. When she turned around, she saw Ji Haoyu lying on the sofa and smiling at her meaningfully.

Jian Ai’s entire body went numb, and she didn’t know what expression to put on.

Jian Ai walked to the sofa and sat down. She picked up an orange and smiled at Ji Haoyu. “Come, have an orange.”

Urgh, how disgusting?

This time, she was talking about herself.

Ji Haoyu placed one hand behind his head and the other casually on his abdomen. He looked at Jian Ai and said, “Help me peel it.”

Jian Ai controlled the urge to throw the orange at his face and took a deep breath.

Alright, she had to lower her head.

She endured it!

Wasn’t it just peeling an orange?

She quickly peeled the orange skin into petals. “Eat.”

Ji Haoyu also knew his limits and did not ask for more. He reached out to take it. “I’ve never eaten oranges that others have peeled. You’re the first.”

Jian Ai leaned against the sofa and looked at him indifferently. ‘Say whatever you want. I’ll admit defeat if I believe a single word of it.’

Ji Haoyu ate happily and looked at Jian Ai for every piece he ate.

After he finished eating, Jian Ai looked at Ji Haoyu and said, “I had no choice before. I didn’t mean to use you.”

Ji Haoyu took a piece of tissue and wiped his hands. When he heard this, he said casually, “I don’t mind you using me. In the future, you can use me however you want.”

Jian Ai suspected that Ji Haoyu was lying, but she had no evidence.

“Just this once. I promise I won’t use you again,” Jian Ai said righteously.

Ji Haoyu looked up and said calmly, “Don’t be so confident.”

“You won’t tell my mother, right?” Jian Ai still felt uneasy and wanted to confirm it.

Ji Haoyu knew what to joke about and what not to.

Jian Ai looked nervous, which could be seen from her willingness to peel oranges for him.

Ji Haoyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “No.”

Jian Ai secretly exhaled. For some reason, Ji Haoyu’s words made her feel exceptionally at ease.

There was no one else at dinner. Because Wang Yunmei had specially informed Wang Yunzhi and said that she would be entertaining an important guest at home today, Wang Yunzhi’s family didn’t return.

They were probably afraid that they would be nervous when facing Ji Haoyu. They were even more afraid that Ji Haoyu would feel uncomfortable if there were too many people.

Therefore, the three of them were just right.

“Auntie, is this the new house you bought after South City was demolished?”

While eating, Ji Haoyu looked at Wang Yunmei and asked softly.

Wang Yunmei smiled and shook her head. “No, the new house is still being renovated. I won’t be able to stay there for a while. This is my sister’s house.”

Ji Haoyu nodded in understanding. So the two families lived together. No wonder Xiao Ai wanted to stay in North City.

“Auntie, I have a few empty houses in Haicheng District. One of them is especially close to Erzhong. If you don’t mind, you can stay there first,” Ji Haoyu suddenly said.

Without waiting for Wang Yunmei to speak, Jian Ai said, “No need. We can stay here. Even if we need to rent a house, we can still afford it. How can we stay at your house for free?”
