Seeing Xu Qianli lost in thought, Ji Xiaomeng said, "What are you so silly thinking about? When faced with a great beauty like me, you're actually thinking about something else? You're really not showing respect for my beauty!"
Xu Qianli replied, "How could that be? I wouldn't dare. It's a great fortune to encounter you like this. So, how about I treat you to dinner tonight and give you a good feast?"
"Sure, I agree, but you better be careful, or I might eat you out of house and home!"
"And another thing, I haven't asked you yet—are you married?"
Ji Xiaomeng asked casually, clutching her hands and trying hard to hide her nervousness.
"I'm not married, but I do have a girlfriend. We have a pretty good relationship; we're at the point where we're discussing marriage."
Xu Qianli didn't know why, but as he spoke those words, he felt a bit cruel, as if he had betrayed Ji Xiaomeng in some way.
But keeping it from her would be even more unfair to her, so he told the truth.
