"Hi, Lord Xu," Ji Zijing said to Xu Jinchen elegantly. Although she was a little shy to see him, she didn't show that on her face, because she knew Xu Jinchen was a soldier and hated phony women.
It was true that Xu Jinchen disliked phony women, but he still didn't bother to pay much attention to her. He only replied to her without much interest, "Hi, Miss Ji."
"Jinchen, have you been very busy recently?" asked Mrs. Ji, because she heard nothing from Mrs. Xu and lost patience. She had to ask Xu Jinchen about it once she met him.
"Yeah, I still need to work in a while," said Xu Jinchen.
"Oh, you must be very busy. When can you be free? Can we share a meal together?" asked Mrs. Ji again. Her purpose couldn't be more obvious.
"Well, it's a women's gathering. I don't think it's appropriate for me to join in. You can share the meal with my mother." Xu Jinchen obviously understood Mrs. Ji's meaning, but he pretended to be unaware of it.
