The car arrived at a winery, the estate hidden within a dense forest and surrounded by lakes. The scenery was picturesque. Ji Linchuan's grandfather sat in a rocking chair, tending to the grapevines. In the distance, Wen Yuxi was fiddling with a wine glass while chatting with him, making him laugh heartily.
The moment she spotted Ji Linchuan, her face lit up, and she sprang to her feet, rushing over with the hem of her light blue dress swaying gracefully. "Brother Linchuan, you finally made it!" she exclaimed, taking his hand and pulling him over to Elder Ji.
Seeing the old man present, Ji Linchuan could only let her lead him to his side. "Chuan'er, try the red wine that Yurou made for me; it's even better than what I used to buy from the French vineyard!" Elder Ji urged.
Taking the glass handed to him, Ji Linchuan took a sip. "Not bad," he nodded symbolically.
Receiving Ji Linchuan's praise, Wen Yuxi excitedly said, "I spent three whole years learning this! Do you remember three years ago when you told me you liked drinking wine? That's when I started learning from the winemaker at the French vineyard. It took me so much time, but as long as you like it, Brother Linchuan, I'm not afraid of any effort."
Elder Ji frowned slightly at her words and said seriously, "Chuan'er, Yurou has gone through quite a bit for you; you should cherish her and not make her sad for no reason."
"Grandpa, don't blame him. I left without even saying goodbye back then; he has every right to be upset with me," Wen Yuxi said understandingly, her eyes fixed on Ji Linchuan's expression.
"So you're regretting it now?" Ji Linchuan asked directly.
"Is it too late?" Wen Yuxi replied playfully, adopting a spoiled demeanor.
"I do regret it; what about it?" She tugged at one of Ji Linchuan's hands playfully.
"Grandpa, what do you think?" She turned to Elder Ji for help with a pleading look.
"Hmph, that woman of yours," Elder Ji scratched his head. "What was her name? Yao? I heard she doesn't have much of a family background."
"I never understood what you saw in her."
"Her mother is clearly a snob. I've heard they don't even belong in our Ji Family's circle."
"I give you one year to get out of this marriage!"
Ji Linchuan's expression was complicated; he was filled with anger today but didn't want to unleash it all at this moment.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Ji Linchuan stood up and nodded to the elder.
Elder Ji coughed in anger. "You!"
Wen Yuxi patted the elder's back, saying, "Grandpa, don't argue with him. When he gets angry, not even a bull can stop him!"
Wen Yuxi stood up and rubbed his chest. "Grandpa, besides, Brother Linchuan has his own considerations."
"What considerations?" Elder Ji shouted even louder, slamming his palm on the armrest of the armchair. "As long as I'm here, there's no need for considerations! The Ji Family's reputation is not something he can decide!"
Seeing the elder's attitude, Wen Yuxi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
These past few days, Ji Linchuan had been in a terrible mood, and his subordinates dared not step into his office lightly. He usually had an air that kept people at a distance.
Secretary Lin was especially cautious, afraid that one wrong word would ignite his inner fury.
After lunch break, there was a knock on the door of the president's office.
Ji Linchuan glanced over irritably and found Wen Yuxi standing at the door with an exquisite lunch box.
"Brother Linchuan, I specially made you a sirloin steak today. Give it a try."
"Take it away," Ji Linchuan replied coldly.
"Just try it," Wen Yuxi said softly as she reached toward his shoulder, her voice gentle as water.
Ji Linchuan turned slightly to avoid her hand, his gaze indifferent.
Wen Yuxi felt a bit awkward but pressed on, "I learned this from a five-star hotel chef when I was abroad; at least give it a taste."
Having said that, she had already picked up a piece of steak and brought it to Ji Linchuan's lips.
"Secretary Lin!" Ji Linchuan turned his face away, letting out a furious roar.
Outside the door, Secretary Lin was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body as he rushed to the scene.
"Take Miss Wen back."
Wen Yuxi stared wide-eyed, too angry to utter a word.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the secretary say, " manager Ji, your wife has arrived."
She paused in her tracks, and Secretary Lin had no choice but to step outside again.
Upon hearing the word "wife," Ji Linchuan's eyes flickered slightly.
