Ji Chuan is not a fool; he's very clear about it in his heart.
It seems Qiu Xinyi was interested in him since the last time she saw him.
However, at that time, his mind was entirely occupied with Yan Huan, so he didn't notice her at all. That's why Qiu Xinyi would seek her father's help, right?
Otherwise, why would he suddenly invite him back for dinner when it's been so long since he operated on Chief Qiu?
Isn't it strange to express gratitude so persistently after such a long time?
"Come on! Ji Chuan, it's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it? Today, we definitely need to have a drink," Chief Qiu instructed his daughter to fetch some wine.
"I've already got it ready for you!" Qiu Xinyi squinted as she took a bottle of Maotai from the cabinet. "Dad, I'm using your best wine to entertain your guest, so don't feel too bad about it!"
Chief Qiu helplessly pointed at his daughter, smiling: "You're really siding with someone outside of your family!"
