Chapter 1495: Great to Have You (55)The three of them were greatly taken aback the moment they saw him .

Ji Gui muttered softly, “I didn’t invite him though . ”

Long Xiaoxi stared at the two men who entered, remaining calm and composed .

A deafening silence filled the air . Jin Rongyan smiled and said, “Brother said that he happens to be free for dinner and wanted to catch up with everyone, so he tagged along . ”

Long Wenlun said, “Sure, join us, then . Xiaoxi just returned from abroad . She isn’t clear about how everyone’s doing yet . Let’s chat while eating . ”

Long Xiaoxi smiled and said, “Yeah, all of us grew up together anyway . Join us . ”

She sounded calm and composed and acted rather natural . However, Long Wenlun was well aware that she was incredibly upset .

Some traumas just never go away .

Jin Yiheng resembled Jin Qingyan greatly and was just as tall . It had been a long time since he saw Long Xiaoxi .

Actually, it was not the first time that he had seen her ever since she returned from abroad .

He was at the supermarket as well when she was shopping with Zhong Minhe . He wouldn’t have recognized her easily if she hadn’t been with Zhong Minhe .

She simply looked too different .

Her chubby face had now become slim and sharp, causing her chin to be accentuated .

Her eyes appeared much bigger too .

Jin Yiheng knew clearly that it was tough for Long Xiaoxi to lose weight because of how much of a glutton she was . When they were children, she had never once succeeded in losing weight because she was too impatient and not determined enough to curb her cravings .

Hence, she could not lose any weight despite all the high-intensity training that she had been through during the boot camp .

She would often defeat the purpose of exercising by overeating .

Losing weight used to be the bane of her existence .

He knew that she must have gone through painstaking means to lose weight successfully .

He had made the right guess .

Long Xiaoxi had developed chronic gastritis .

She could not tolerate spicy foods at all and would get an upset stomach after eating just a small amount of spice .

She had to stay away from cold foods as well .

No one knew of her condition except herself .

Long Xiaoxi was dumbstruck after the dishes were served .

They were all spicy .

Although they looked extremely appetizing, they were terrible for her stomach .

However, she could not be bothered to order more dishes for herself because there was already more than enough .

She ordered a glass of warm coconut juice and sucked on it with a straw .

Jin Rongyan asked, “Xiaoxi, what do you do for a living?”

“I’m jobless now, I quit my job abroad,” said Long Xiaoxi, who wanted to avoid bringing up the modeling contest .

“What do you plan to work as?”

“A model . ”Jin Rongyan smiled and said, “You should be able to make the cut since you’re so tall . ”

She answered, “I can’t be too sure yet . Who knows what might happen in the future?”

Long Wenlun said, “My parents hope that she won’t begin working just yet . My father had to lie about being ill in order to dupe Xiaoxi into coming home . Hence, they’re hoping for her to settle down in the nation as soon as possible . Fortunately, she has begun making some progress . ”

“What progress?” Ji Gui asked .

“Minhe has always carried a torch for Xiaoxi ever since we were kids and he recently confessed his feelings to her and asked her to give him a chance . Xiaoxi agreed and so have my parents . They find him to be very reliable . ”

Ji Gui guffawed and remarked, “Wow, you’re really something, huh? You’re so quick to grasp the opportunity when it comes . But I really didn’t expect Minhe to have carried a torch for you for so many years . ”

Long Xiaoxi said, “I have to grasp it because it’s rare . The food is getting cold, let’s dig in . ”

During dinner, a sudden tension filled the air . Although Long Xiaoxi turned up specially to catch up with them, she did not speak much throughout the meal and was exceptionally quiet .

Just before dinner was about to end, she received a call from Zhong Minhe . “Hello, Brother Minhe . ”

“Where are you?”

“I’m having dinner with Brother, Dummy, and the rest . ”

“I just wrapped up at work and I’d like to see you . May I look for you now?”

Long Xiaoxi agreed, “Sure, but I’ll go find you instead . ”

After hanging up, she said to her brother, “I’m leaving now, you guys go ahead . ”

Noticing that Long Xiaoxi was putting on her jacket, Ji Gui asked in displeasure, “You’re leaving so soon?”

“Yes, let’s meet up again another day . ”She picked up her purse, waved everyone goodbye, and left .

Upon arriving at the entrance, Long Xiaoxi discovered that it had begun snowing outside . She clutched her chest and found it hard to breathe . She had to pant heavily several times to catch her breath . Just as she was about to hail a taxi, she felt someone grab her wrist and she hurriedly turned around to take a look . To her surprise, it was…

“Rongyan?”

“You barely ate anything just now . Take this with you . ” He let go of her wrist and handed her a paper bag containing some food .

Long Xiaoxi took it from him and discovered that it was a slice of cake .

Everyone around her knew that she had a sweet tooth .

She took a glance at it and said with a nod, “It looks delicious . I’ll finish everything . ”

His eyes glistened and he said, “Don’t go hungry . ”

Long Xiaoxi smiled and answered, “Got it . ”

Long Xiaoxi stared out of the window while enjoying her cake inside the taxi .

Recalling the moment that Jin Rongyan had grabbed her wrist, she could not help but feel silly for thinking that it was Jin Yiheng .

Why would he even grab my wrist?

Even if we have met again, we’d be distant and awkward with each other .

He was the one who ruined everything . I will never forgive him!

She had polished off the cake by the time they arrived at her destination .

As soon as she alighted, she was greeted with the sight of Zhong Minhe waiting for her at the door . Long Xiaoxi disposed of the wrapper and paper bag into a dustbin nearby and walked toward him . “Are you tired?”

“A little, but I’ve already gotten used to it . ”

Long Xiaoxi smiled at him and said, “I signed up for a modeling contest this morning . There were so many hopefuls and they were all tall and leggy . I’m starting to lose confidence in myself . ”

“They’re definitely not as pretty as you are . ”

“Have you eaten?”

He answered with a nod, “Yes, I have . Shall we go watch a movie?”

“Which movie?”

“A comedy flick . I heard that it has good ratings . I’ve booked two tickets online . ”

Long Xiaoxi gladly agreed, “We can’t let the tickets go to waste since you’ve already booked them . Let’s go . ”

“There’s an umbrella,” he said, staring at the door beside her .

“We don’t need an umbrella . The snow isn’t that heavy . Just put on your hood . ” She then tiptoed to put the hood of his jacket over his head before doing the same for herself . They then began walking toward the cinema nearby .
