Within a few minutes, Qiao Xihe returned. She apologized to Eric, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Eric smiled, "As a gentleman, you should be patient and wait for the lady. ”

Qiao Xihe looked at his personable appearance, how could he not connect with the neurotic person who was holding the portrait of his ex-girlfriend at the beginning.

Perhaps, it can be explained as "indulging in the pain of losing a lover, and not being able to get out of it", and the magnificent and spacious sea and sky of the Seychelles just happened to untie the knot.

The two of them came to the viewing balcony for a while, and in addition to them, there were seven or eight other people here, either leaning on the railing or sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing leisurely.

Eric led Qiao Xihe to sit down on the sofa in the middle, and immediately a waiter stepped forward to ask what they needed a drink.

Qiao Xihe asked for a glass of orange juice, while Eric asked for plain water.

She leaned back on the sofa and looked around at the hotel's well-laid gardens and rippling swimming pool.

When the drink was served, Qiao Xihe took a sip and opened the conversation, "Eric, are you still lingering in the lakes and mountains here?"

Eric nodded, "yes, there's an idiom called 'lingering', which refers to me now. I wish the holidays could be longer so that I can enjoy them. ”

Qiao Xihe shook the glass in his hand a few times, "What do you say, you're going back?"

"Yes," Eric nodded helplessly, "no matter how long a vacation is, it's short in the face of a beautiful view." By the way, Xihe, if you can, I hope you can accompany me here. ”

"Uh......" Qiao Xihe touched his nose, "I'm sorry, Eric, I still have work to do here, so I can't walk with you." ”

Eric nodded, still softly, "It's okay, you didn't have this obligation in the first place." ”

Qiao Xihe smiled at him.

Eric said: "Before, I also heard about the turmoil in your company, and now I see your appearance, obviously not affected much, as a friend, I am also very relieved." I was supposed to come to you earlier, but I didn't know your new contact information, and I couldn't get through when I dialed the previous number. ”

Qiao Xihe said: "Now, I use the original number again, you can call me directly, and you can find me." ”

"Is it like this?" Eric took out his phone and pressed Qiao Xihe's name in the address book.

This time, the call went out, and the mobile phone in Qiao Xihe's handbag rang.

She took it out and looked at it, "Eric, look, your number." As he spoke, he showed his phone to Eric.

Eric looked curious and serious, leaned over to look, and unconsciously, he got a little closer to Qiao Xihe.

He was the first to react and hurriedly stepped back.

Qiao Xihe realized the reason why he did this, and he had a little more affection for him in his heart, but it was only limited to friends.

"Eh, Xihe, so you are here?" Lu Xiwen walked over with a smile, "I saw Brother Tingyuan at the venue, but I didn't see you, I still think it's strange, this is ......"

She looked at Eric curiously.

Eric waved at her and shouted enthusiastically, "Hey, this beautiful young lady." ”

Qiao Xihe's attitude was obviously a little colder than when he was alone with Eric, and he introduced them dryly.

Lu Xiwen wore a dress with a big rose pattern today, which set off her bright and moving. She reclined on the back of the sofa, stroked her long curls, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Cui." ”

Eric said, "If you can, just call me Eric?"

Lu Xiwen shook her head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cui, we met for the first time today, and I can't call you like that." ”

Eric looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt. ”

"Listen to your name, it should be a foreign overseas Chinese, right?" Lu Xiwen was very understanding, "I may not know much about China, and this place is far less open than that of European and American countries." ”

Eric nodded in realization.

Qiao Xihe suddenly felt that the two of them had come to chat, and it happened that she had been out for a long time, so she should go back to avoid Pei Tingyuan from having trouble because he couldn't find her.

She got up and said, "You guys talk first, I'm going to find my husband." ”

Lu Xiwen moved slightly, just blocking Qiao Xihe's way, and said with a smile: "Before I came over, Brother Tingyuan was talking about business with a few business CEOs, and we were bored in the past, why don't we just take a look at the scenery here and chat?" Then, she looked at Rex, "I think Mr. Cui is a very interesting person." ”

Eric was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Thank you, Miss Lu, for the compliment." ”

Even if there was an Eric next to her and some strangers nearby, Qiao Xihe didn't want to stay with Lu Xiwen, so she moved her steps to the side, "It's okay, as Mrs. Pei, I should be by his side on this occasion." ”

Eric also got up, "What Xihe said also makes sense, let's go back." I was a little hungry, and I saw that there were some small self-service snacks in the venue, which looked very delicious, and I wanted to try them. ”

Eric also said so, Lu Xiwen knew that it was not good for her to continue to stop her, she glanced at Qiao Xihe with a sad gaze, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Okay, let's go back." ”

So, the three of them returned to the venue together.

Pei Tingyuan saw Eric beside Qiao Xihe, and his eyes sank. But after entering the venue, Eric went straight to the table to eat, and Qiao Xihe walked over to him, followed by Lu Xiwen.

"Ting Yuan. In the space between the speeches of several men, Qiao Xihe called out generously.

Pei Tingyuan held Qiao Xihe's hand and introduced her to several bosses.

And Lu Xiwen was completely forgotten and hung aside.

It wasn't until the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Lambert that she suddenly had a sense of energy. She was greeted almost alongside Rex, who gave her a strange look before reaching out and taking Mr. Lambert's hand, "Welcome, Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Lambert." ”

Mr. Lambert said: "Mr. Durand is young and promising, and he can support the Asian market at this age, and his future is unlimited." ”

"You've won a prize. Rex said modestly, and then they were ready to take the Lamberts to meet a few people who had come from the winery's European headquarters, they had known each other for many years.

Lu Xiwen couldn't bear to be ignored again, so she followed closely and shouted, "Mr. Lambert!"

However, the sound and games in the hall were noisy, and Mr. Lambert, who was talking to Rex, did not notice the girl behind him.

Lu Xiwen was hung out again, and when she turned her head in annoyance, she saw Eric standing at the table, eating a small snack with relish.

She rolled her eyes and stepped forward.
