Chapter 77 – Darling, You Need to Get Used to It (Part Three)

Fine, if getting used to it is what it takes, then so be it. At least when meeting the parents later, I’ll appear more natural and won’t give myself away.

Ye Yunxi calmly hooked her arm through the man’s and gracefully took her seat.

The restaurant was quite crowded, and despite the exorbitant prices, patrons kept streaming in.

Many instinctively glanced over, and a small portion of them recognized Di Junxie.

The high society circle was just that small, and the Di Family’s heir was so formidable that once you saw him, you’d never forget him.

“Is that the Young Emperor over there?”

“Who’s the woman across from him? Is there a young miss like her among the great families?”

“She’s quite beautiful, and she matches well with the Young Emperor.”

“Tch, it’s just a meal. Does that necessarily mean she’s the Young Emperor’s girlfriend?”

“Exactly, that woman isn’t worthy of the Young Emperor at all!”

The men’s gazes lingered on Ye Yunxi, filled with admiration, while the women’s looks were dripping with disdain.

“There’s no such person among the young misses of the great families. She’s probably just some poor thing trying to climb the social ladder by mooching a meal! Does she even know proper etiquette?!”

Etiquette? Sorry, but this lady really does know a thing or two!

Lifting her head to sweep a glance around, Ye Yunxi curled her lips and elegantly picked up her knife and fork.

Posture: perfect!

Poise: also perfect!

It wasn’t like she didn’t know high society manners. Whether she was worthy of Di Junxie or not didn’t concern her, but no one could look down on her, Ye Yunxi.

Because whatever you all could do, she, Ye Yunxi, could do too. Even if she couldn’t, she had a brain and could learn just the same!

The petite woman curled her lips into an arrogant smile, her dark eyes lazily sweeping over those jealous faces as she gracefully swallowed a piece of beef, her movements so flawless it was hard to look away.

“Is she really not some young miss from a prominent family?”

“She’s practically perfect!”

“Pardon me, this gentleman has requested a performance of ‘Canon’ for the young lady. Please enjoy.”

When the waiter with the violin arrived at their table, gasps echoed around them.

The Young Emperor had ordered a violin piece for this woman, and it was Canon at that!

How enviable!

“Alright.”

Ye Yunxi smiled and glanced at Di Junxie. What was this all about?

It was just a contract—did they really have to go all out?

Yet Di Junxie set down his cutlery, perfectly composed as he waited for the music to begin.

Contract or not, this was something he wanted to do for Ye Yunxi.

The violin’s melody was soft and melodious, complementing the restaurant’s dim, intimate ambiance—romantic and enchanting.

If any ordinary girl were sitting here, she’d probably have already fallen under the spell, but Ye Yunxi merely rubbed her temples.

She thought being Di Junxie’s woman must be exhausting because this woman had to be absolutely perfect at everything.

Including appreciating music!!

As the violin piece concluded, a large bouquet of fiery red roses was promptly presented. Ye Yunxi felt her smile stiffen.

What was all this about?!

Her intuition told her there had to be some scheme behind it!

“Why aren’t those roses for me?!”

“The Young Emperor, who’s always so aloof, actually gives someone roses?!”

“I heard the Di Family’s Lao Yezi is pressuring the Young Emperor to settle on a fiancée.”

“So, does this mean it’s decided?”

“How interesting. It seems she’s not from a top-tier family. Could the Young Emperor have misjudged? Is he being used by some wildcat?”

Used?

Please, right now, it’s just him unilaterally admiring Ye Yunxi.But it might not be the case in three years.

“I’ll take you back.”

The fiery rose, the enchanting maiden—yet even more captivating was the man’s aloof and transcendent aura, so cold it seemed detached from the mortal world. In an instant, no one could look away.

Somehow, they seemed so perfectly matched!
