Ji En embraced Ji Ai'er from behind.
"Where did you go today?" Ji En asked softly in Ji Ai'er's ear. He saw that she had a sad expression when she came back today.
"I went to the Half-Mountain Villa!" Ji Ai'er told the truth. She didn't want to lie to Ji En. Although her feelings for Ji En couldn't return to the original point yet, she had begun to melt.
"You went to see Raymond!" Ji En released his hands, and an unhappy expression appeared on his face.
"No, Raymond has returned to Italy. I just went there to have a look. There was no other meaning!" Ji Ai'er explained. She found that she cared about Ji En's thoughts very much like before. She didn't want Ji En to misunderstand anything.
"Ai'er, no one but me can be in your heart!" Ji En turned Ji Ai'er's body around and said to her.
Ji Ai'er looked at Ji En and didn't nod. At that moment, she seemed to hesitate. She didn't know why. Maybe she had never had enough confidence in Ji En. He was too dazzling, so she couldn't really see him clearly.
After returning from the Half-Mountain Villa, Ji Ai'er felt that her soul was baptized. Raymond's gentle love made her feel sad! She found that she had developed a slavish nature. So when others were nice to her, she felt it was a great burden because she had nothing to repay.
There was too much love that Ji Ai'er couldn't afford and too many complicated emotions that Ji Ai'er couldn't solve. So she, who didn't know what to do, still habitually chose to escape. She devoted almost all her body and mind to her current job. With Enrico's cultivation and help, her talent in evening dresses had become increasingly prominent, just like the ugly appearance of a clam couldn't cover the brilliance of the top-quality pearl inside.
"Ji En, I want to go to fashion shows around the world! I want to do well in this current job!" Ji Ai'er said to Ji En. She rarely made any requests to him. But this time, she hoped he could agree to her because she needed to broaden her horizons. In this fashion industry, she mustn't be conservative.
Ji En took a look at Ji Ai'er and nodded in agreement.
So in the past nearly half a year, she shuttled between different countries just to enjoy every excellent fashion show. Only she didn't go to Italy because Raymond was in this country. She was afraid of seeing Raymond and even more afraid of Ji En's misunderstanding.
This time, she flew back from the fashion capital Paris in advance. She was like a swallow shuttling between the two places and didn't notify anyone! She even returned to the company without stopping.
"Ai'er, you're back!" Wu Yaqi exclaimed when she saw Ji Ai'er, who didn't look like she just got off the plane at all.
"I want to give you a surprise. These are the gifts I brought for you! Everyone has a share!" Ji Ai'er began to take out the carefully selected gifts from her suitcase.
"Thank you!"
"The director returned to Italy this week! He instructed that after you come back, take the final draft to the president for review." Xin Ye said to Ji Ai'er.
"Ah! Why me?" Ji Ai'er asked with wide eyes in confusion. This didn't seem to be within her responsibility range before! The most important thing was that she would avoid going to the top floor if she could!
"Because you are - the director's assistant. The director has returned to the country. Of course, you will act on behalf of the director for all his work!" Xin Ye said while unpacking the gift. Then she saw a beautiful brooch and excitedly kissed Ji Ai'er on the face.
Ji Ai'er was stunned there, a little unable to bear Xin Ye's enthusiasm.
