It wasn’t until Ji Nuan saw several screens monitoring the banquet hall above that she had a vague idea of what Mr. Xiao meant by keeping an eye on her.

So, he had been watching since she came in?

Seeing Ji Nuan a bit angry, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun said, “Miss Ji, don’t take me wrong. My son seldom brings a female companion. I pay more attention to you because you are his female companion.”

Ji Nuan smiled when she heard this reason. “Ok, I see.”

Although it sounded reasonable that an old father paid attention to his son’s female companion, Ji Nuan remembered it was not only Xiao Luye who invited her but also Mr. Xiao Zhenjun.

Besides, Xiao Luye joked and didn’t seem to be really interested in her. Since he was not interested in her, he wouldn’t let his father misunderstand, let alone take her to see his father.

So, what on earth was the reason? It couldn’t be so simple.

However, she didn’t utter her doubt but look at Mr. Xiao Zhenjun with a smile. “Mr. Xiao, you pay so much attention to CEO Xiao’s female companion. It seems that you really want to see him get married.”

With that, she looked at Xiao Luye. “CEO Xiao, you’re already over thirty, aren’t you? You’re not married yet, and being single all the time does worry your family. I know a lot of young ladies of note in Hai City. Do you need me to introduce some girls to you?”

She purposely changed the subject to him. Xiao Luye gave her a warning stare. “No, thanks.”

Ji Nuan gave him a faint smile and was about to say something when Mr. Xiao Zhenjun said, smiling, “Miss Ji, I know you must know a lot of young ladies of note in Hai City. After all, you’re the eldest daughter of the Ji family and were born and grew up in Hai City. I think your idea is good. Please introduce my son to some girls when you have time, lest he’ll put all his eggs in one basket, and that basket doesn’t even belong to him.”

Xiao Luye’s face darkened. “Old Xiao, what’s the difference between getting married and not getting married? Did you stop philandering after you got married? Didn’t you get an illegitimate child over twenty years after your marriage? Now you’ve finally got a chance to see her. I advise you to hold your tongue and stop nagging me.”

Mr. Xiao Zhenjun immediately cast a cold glance at him. Xiao Luye didn’t look at him but shut up.

Ji Nuan felt as if her IQ had gone to zero when she walked into the room.

She could not understand the conversation between the father and son at all.

But as an outsider, she shouldn’t cut in their bickering, so she glanced around at the expensive birthday flowers and potted plants like evergreens.

“Do you like flowers, Miss Ji?” Mr. Xiao Zhenjun suddenly asked her. “Take whatever pot you like. Flowers are not for an old man like me, but for a young girl like you. You can take them if you like.”

“No, I just don’t want to disturb you and CEO Xiao and casually looked around,” Ji Nuan said politely.

Seeing her so detached and polite, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun gazed at her again and smiled. “It was my fault. We took you as one of our own and started a row in your face. That’s the way we get along. Unlike other fathers and sons, we often bicker, because we have too few people at home. If we don’t make some sound, the home will be too quiet and cold. When we meet, we can only discuss the affairs of the company or quarrel over his marriage. Haha, I’m so sorry to let you see this…”

Ji Nuan wondered why Mr. Xiao, who was said to be a very mysterious, powerful bigshot, talked so much to her. It didn’t seem to be because she was the CEO of the MN Group. Although he was very polite to her, she felt he seemed to be implying something to her.

“It doesn’t matter. These words go in one ear of me and out the other. I can’t remember anything, nor will I tell others about these words.” Ji Nuan smiled faintly, and her eyes were clear and placid.

Mr. Xiao Zhenjun took a look at her again. “Today is my 50th birthday, although it’s very lively, for many years I didn’t have a person I like to accompany me to talk. Miss Ji, I’m very fond of you. Can you have dinner with me after the birthday party?”

“Mr. Xiao, I’m flattered, but MN Group has no business with your company. I’m very honored to be invited here today. Tonight’s feast is so grand, and there are so many people present. I think the birthday party will not end until midnight. Having stomach trouble, I don’t feel like eating at night, so I’ll leave it at that. If we have the opportunity to cooperate with your company another day, I will take the time to accompany Mr. Xiao and Chairman Xiao to a good meal, but I can’t eat or drink too much, so please don’t mind it.” Ji Nuan said as she picked up her phone and checked the time. “It’s getting late. Mr. Xiao, you’re the star tonight. Don’t you want to go out and celebrate with everyone?”

Hearing her refuse politely, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun looked at her and said with a smile, “Ok, I’m sure we’ll have the opportunity to cooperate with the MN group soon. See you next time.”

They walked out of the lounge. Ji Nuan remained placid. Although she was skeptical, she didn’t want to ask anything. Xiao Luye looked at her. “Don’t you have anything to ask?”

Ji Nuan stopped and turned to look carefully at Xiao Luye’s face.

“What are you looking at?” Feeling uneasy being stared by her, Xiao Luye frowned and glanced at her.

“I’m thinking maybe I was wrong,” Ji Nuan said flatly. “I don’t think your father is in a hurry to find you a wife, nor did he want to make me marry you.”

Xiao Luye: “Of course.”

“He’s just trying to find you a stepmother, isn’t he?”

Xiao Luye: “…”

Ji Nuan raised her hand in distress and touched her face. “I admit I’m beautiful, but I don’t think I’m such a stunner that even your father loves me. Your dad sent me flowers, invited me to dinner, and even told me he needed someone to talk to. Does he want to marry me?”

Xiao Luye: “…”

Seeing Xiao Luye turn green and trying to stop himself from saying something, Ji Nuan looked at him with a beautiful smile, asking, “Hey, CEO Xiao, do you lack maternal love?”
