From the moment the man had walked into the room, his eyes had been fixed on Zuo Aiai.
It was as if everyone else in the room was just furniture to him.
He walked to Zuo Aiai's side and quietly put his arm around her shoulder with a faint smile on his face.
"Old age, poor waist and legs, gray hair, and a chronic disease...and apparently I'm 70 or 80 years old?"
Zuo Aiai blushed in his arms, her face hot. She hadn't expected him to overhear her.
"That...actually, I was joking just now..." she stammered.
She didn't want to officially announce her relationship with Jin Di, but she hadn't expected it to be exposed under such circumstances either.
Jin Di looked very gentle, and even the curve of his mouth seemed to have more warmth in it than usual.
"Be good, it's fine if you and I joke about these things, but if others take this joke seriously, how will I ever show my face in their presence again?"
He sounded like a real boyfriend.
And the way he looked gave him some legitimacy in the eyes of the others. This meant that he wasn't as shady as they'd thought. On the contrary, it all seemed very above board!
She lowered her head obediently. "I understand. I'm sorry."
The arrogant Zuo Aiai actually lowered her head so easily to this man?
When they saw this, many of them opened their mouths in shock, while from Chen Ziyi's seat came a bang!
He'd crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Zuo Yunyun screamed in shock and quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe his wound.
However, Chen Ziyi did not even flinch. He stared at the man beside Zuo Aiai with a gloomy face.
Jin Di acted as though he hadn't heard the sound of the wine glass shattering. He just bent down to tidy up the messy bangs on Zuo Aiai's forehead and turned around.
The intimate smile that had been on his face when he faced Zuo Aiai just now had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a very official and indifferent smile. His voice was very cold.
"I was working late and wanted to take Zuo Aiai out for dinner. I didn't expect to meet her former classmates. But since we've met now, it's fate. You guys used to take care of my Zuo Aiai in high school. Today's meal will be my gift to you. I will inform the bar to charge it to my account. Now, Zuo Aiai and I must be leaving..."
The man spoke very politely, but there was a kind of indifference and alienation in his words.
He didn't want to curry favor with this group of people. This meal was only for Zuo Aiai's sake.
And...he'd said my Zuo Aiai, showing his unique right of possession.
This was the first time they had heard someone call Zuo Aiai theirs.
Did this mean...that this man really loved Zuo Aiai very much?
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Besides, I've already agreed to pay for this meal, so there's no need for you to spend money on it."
Chen Ziyi's voice interrupted their footsteps.
It was as if Jin Di had just seen Chen Ziyi sitting at the table. He acted as though he'd been suddenly enlightened. "I see, it seems that I've offended you."
Chen Ziyi had always thought that he held a very important position in Zuo Aiai's heart.
However, Jin Di's attitude towards him was no different from the others. He was even a little indifferent, which made him angry.
"I believe this gentleman must not know who I am. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Chen and my name is Ziyi. I am Zuo Aiai's previous fiancé."
He stood up with a faint smile on his face.
