"No need." Li Yi spoke out to stop them.


    "I had originally wanted to say a few words to Su Jinyi, to persuade her to return from the lost path. Since she did not ept my good intentions, then I have nothing else to say." With that, Li Yi stood up and prepared to leave.


    "Mr. Lee, don''t waste your coffee. ording to what I know, the sry of the employees of the Mr. Lee Company is probably not enough to pay for a meal in this restaurant. " He Ruiting kindly reminded him.


    Li Yi''s face instantly turned ashen, but he didn''t know how to refute that. He could only look at Su Jinyi and squeeze out a sentence between his teeth: "Su Jinyi, I advise you to better understand what you''re doing, otherwise you will regret it."


    "Thank you, Mr. Lee. I''ll give you the same words, take care of yourself." Su Jinyi replied in a neither humble nor arrogant ma


    er.


    After Li Yi left, the waiter immediately picked up the cup of undrunk American coffee and ced it in front of him again.


    "Why not the private room? I wouldn''t have met such a bored person. " He Ruiting asked Su Jinyi as he looked at her tenderly.


    "It''s just a meal. It''s the same no matter where you sit. Aside from the higher price in the room, the dishes won''t be more delicious just because they''re expensive." Su Jinyi replied indifferently.


    "At least." He Ruiting said meaningfully.


    "Just treat it as a seasoning." Su Jinyi shrugged and said helplessly.


    Li Yi was seated not far from them, he had heard the conversation between the two of them clearly, and was trembling from anger, he did not eat anymore, and quickly paid for his food before leaving the restaurant.


    Su Jinyi looked at Li Yi''s leaving figure, and let out a light snort from her nose.


    "There''s something wrong with your eyesight." He Ruiting was referring to the engagement he had with Li Yi before.


    "Long time no see." Su Jinyi replied without backing down in the slightest.


    Ever since New Zend, when He Ruiting had hurried back to the Nation upon receiving a phone call, he had not been cold nor warm to Su Jinyi for a long time.


    Today, when the driver went to the He family vi to bring Su Jinyi to this restaurant, she was still rather surprised. She did not know what kind of medicine He Ruiting had up his sleeve.


    However, from the looks of the two of them working together, even if they were acting in front of outsiders, they had a tacit understanding of each other.


    "Since you''re already gone, then may I ask why Mr. Hoh is looking for me today?" Since there were no outsiders present, there was no need for them to continue acting.


    "Madam has been home for so long, yet I haven''t had a proper meal with you. It''s my fault for not doing my duty. Please forgive me." He Ruiting said as he took out an exquisite box from somewhere and ced it in front of Su Jinyi.


    "It''s a small gift. I hope Madam likes it."


    Su Jinyi received the gift, and politely smiled in thanks.


    "Won''t you open it and take a look?"


    "I''m hungry." Su Jinyi did not really care about what was inside the box. After all, a man did not give women any kind of jewelry or watches. She just wanted to care about what she ate, because she was really hungry.


    "Alright, let''s eat first." He Ruiting smiled and said, he opened the menu and skillfully ordered the dishes.


    Su Jinyi didn''t know why He Ruiting would suddenly have the leisure today to ask her out to eat di


    er. From the moment she came home, the two of them had been eating di


    er together at the same table every day, and even He Ruiting turned a blind eye to her.


    After a while, all sorts of delicious delicacies filled up the table, all the dishes were emitting an enticing fragrance, Su Jinyi was really hungry, ignoring her appearance, she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.


    "Eat slowly, I won''t fight with you for it." He Ruiting said as he helped her fill the soup with the small bowl.


    "Mmm mmm." Su Jinyi''s mouth was filled with food, as she answered randomly without thinking.


    "Seafood Eight Treasures Soup, one of the restaurant''s signature dishes. Taste it and see if you like it."


    A bowl of steaming hot soup was ced in front of Su Jinyi in a small white porcin bowl with sculpted flowers.


    "Look at you, people who don''t know you think that our He family mistreated our mistress." He Ruitingughed as he wiped the food at the corner of his mouth, his eyes looking doting.


    Su Jinyi was not used to his sudden gentleness, she turned her head slightly, wanting to avoid his finger.


    He Ruiting held her chin in one hand, making it impossible for her to dodge. His other hand gentlynded on the corner of her mouth as he gently caressed her lips with his fingertips.


    Su Jinyi''s entire body seemed to be filled with electricity, her heartbeat uncontrobly sped up, and his face was faintly burning. She did not dare to look straight into He Ruiting''s face, and drooped her eyes as she averted her gaze.


    He Ruiting gazed at her face that was just inches away from him. Looking at her slightly trembling eyshes, his fingers could feel that she was begi


    ing to breathe rapidly.


    Time seemed to stop in an instant.


    "Ugh …" "Thank you."


    Finally, Su Jinyi realized that she should break the awkward atmosphere.


    As she spoke, she took the tissue on the table, avoided He Ruiting''s fingers and lightly wiped the corner of her mouth.


    "You''re wee." He Ruiting replied calmly as he retracted his finger, pretending as if nothing had happened.


    The two of them continued to eat their di


    er without showing any sign of intimacy until the end.


    "I will solve all the problems as soon as possible, you don''t have to worry."


    After exiting the dining hall, He Ruiting suddenly said to Su Jinyi on their way to the car park.


    "I''m not worried."


    Of course she wasn''t worried. In just a short span of one week, Su Group was already in danger of going bankrupt. Due to the marriage between Li Yi''spany and the Su Family, they had interacted quite a bit with each other in business, so it wasn''t quite a good time for them.


    For He Ruiting to be able to give the Su and Li Families headaches in such a short period of time, his abilities were undeniable.


    When they were getting on the car, He Ruiting very politely opened the passenger door for Su Jinyi and cordially ced his hand on top of her head.


    He did not call for the driver because there were only two people in the carriage, Su Jinyi and him.


    "Are you sure you don''t want to open it?"


    He Ruiting was referring to the present he had given to Su Jinyi during the meal.


    "Hmm?" Su Jinyi couldn''t react to what he was saying at the moment.


    He Ruiting raised his right hand and pointed to the gift box that she had casually ced on the back of the car.


    "Oh."


    Su Jinyi was not interested to begin with, but since He Ruiting kept hinting her to open it for him, then that would satisfy his request.


    With some difficulty, she reached out and took the box from the back. There were no logos on the outside of the box, so it was hard to tell what was inside.


    Su Jinyi looked at He Ruiting and saw that he did not have any expression on his face. He lowered his head and carefully opened the outer packaging of the box.


    When she opened the box, a shiny little object appeared in front of her.


    It was a diamond ring.
