Chapter 20: Jealousy

In the evening, the clouds on the horizon rendered by the setting sun turned brilliant fiery red, and the soft evening breeze blew by, bringing a touch of evening coolness to the sweltering weather of Bihu City.

Outside the Ruisheng company building, Qiao Mingjue relied on his Volkswagen car and quietly waited for Lin Wenxuan to get off work.

Qiao Mingjue's family is not well-off, and being able to support him to go to Bihu City to study at university can be regarded as using all the family's savings, and it is impossible to have money to buy him a house and a car in the city.

This car was bought by Qiao Mingjue with the salary he had saved, and he picked the cheapest one, and the rest of the money was not only to subsidize the family, but to pay rent and utility bills, and he could save some pocket money in his hands, but it was not much.

But Qiao Mingjue is not the kind of stingy person, although he does not have a lot of money, he is always very generous when facing Lin Wenxuan.

Yin Xinyan said in the past that Qiao Mingjue is absolutely true love for Lin Wenxuan, he will never save money on her, and he will never let her lose face because of him outside.

So after so many years, the relationship between the two has always been the same.

Qiao Mingjue took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at the time, it was 5:26 p.m.

It seems that Lin Wenxuan, a workaholic, is working overtime in the office again......

Qiao Mingjue shook his head helplessly, opened the trunk of the car, and held a large bouquet of roses in his arms, and just closed the lid of the trunk, Lin Wenxuan had already walked out of the building.

I don't know if it will be because the roses are too dazzling, Lin Wenxuan just walked out of the company gate when she saw Qiao Mingjue.

Although it is not early now, there are still people in the company who are sparsely pulling out, Qiao Mingjue's behavior naturally attracted the attention of many people, and some colleagues who were more familiar with Lin Wenxuan also smiled and set their eyes on her.

Lin Wenxuan's face flushed, and she quickened her pace and walked to Qiao Mingjue's side.

"Mingjue, why don't you go home? Hurry up and put away the roses, so many people are watching!"

Feeling the curious eyes of the people around her, Lin Wenxuan felt uncomfortable all over, and lowered her voice, hoping that Qiao Mingjue could be more low-key in this matter.

Qiao Mingjue smiled: "It's okay, anyway, our love is not a secret." It's time to get off work, and it's a sweet time for the two of us, and we don't have to worry about what others think and say. ”

"Why are you waiting for me here?" Lin Wenxuan asked helplessly.

Qiao Mingjue has always been this kind of character, whether it was when he was in college, or after they both entered Ruisheng work, he seemed to want everyone to know that Lin Wenxuan was his girlfriend, so that everyone knew how happy he was with her.

Later, if she didn't really take care of things at work, Lin Wenxuan believed that Qiao Mingjue could do anything.

Standing outside the company building like today, holding a bouquet of roses, I am afraid it is already the most low-key way Qiao Mingjue can think of.

Qiao Mingjue handed the roses forward, and said with a smile: "I messed up the celebration of your promotion last time, and I have always wanted to compensate you, but I have never found the right time, and I am free today, so I plan to treat you to a good meal! The roses are for you, take them!"

Lin Wenxuan took the rose, and the corners of her mouth rose upward: "Spending money again! Wouldn't it be good to invite me to dinner, what are you doing to buy flowers?"

"The most beautiful flower naturally matches the most beautiful person. My Queen, get in the car, right?"

Qiao Mingjue gentlemanly pulled the car door and invited Lin Wenxuan to get in the car with a smile.

With a gentle smile in her eyes, Lin Wenxuan hugged the large bouquet of fragrant roses and sat in the car.

Su Ya, who was also busy until now and had only gotten off work, happened to see this scene and her eyes widened in surprise.

At noon today, when she went to dinner with Lin Wenxuan and Yin Xinyan, she also guessed whether Dr. Qin Jiaxi, who invited everyone to eat hot pot, would be Lin Wenxuan's boyfriend, but this speculation was rejected by everyone on the spot.

Lin Wenxuan said that she already had a boyfriend, and at that time, Su Ya thought that such an excellent person as Qin Jiaxi could only be Lin Wenxuan's ordinary friend, so what an excellent person her boyfriend should be!

Unexpectedly, Lin Wenxuan's boyfriend was actually Director Qiao Mingjue Qiao!

This matter is no longer an amazing secret in Ruisheng, but Su Ya has just come to work here, and she is not clear about the gossip news in the company's leisure time, so she is naturally surprised by the facts in front of her.

Su Ya and Qiao Mingjue have not had much contact, and through this day, she understands that Qiao Mingjue is a serious, meticulous person who treats his work meticulously and has his own majesty.

Although I don't know how he usually treats everyone, at least from this morning to now, this is the first time Su Ya has seen Qiao Mingjue smile so gently and happily, it is like a different person.

Looking at Lin Wenxuan's expression, Su Ya can be sure that Qiao Mingjue is her boyfriend!

It's just that, no matter how you look at it, I feel that Qiao Mingjue is not as good as Qin Jiaxi......

There is such an excellent person around her, why did Lin Wenxuan choose Qiao Mingjue?

Seeing Qiao Mingjue drive Lin Wenxuan away, Su Ya came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile.

No matter who Lin Wenxuan is with, it is Lin Wenxuan's own choice, what qualifications does she have to comment on others?

However, Qin Jiaxi is really not bad......

Qin Jiaxi works so well, loves to talk and laugh but does not lose his gentlemanly demeanor, takes care of everyone around him, is smart and humorous, especially his handsome appearance, this is what attracts Su Ya the most!

Skinny, tall, with short black hair and black eyes......

Thinking of this, Su Ya's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly put aside the messy thoughts in her mind, and hurried back home.

Qiao Mingjue drove Lin Wenxuan to Mengyue Western Restaurant.

Lin Wenxuan is the first time to come to this restaurant, and Qiao Mingjue is the second time. The last time I came over, Yin Xinyan specially invited him to eat here in order to thank him for sending her home.

"Mengyue Western Restaurant?"

Lin Wenxuan raised her head and looked at the sign outside the restaurant, frowning slightly.

Qiao Mingjue smiled: "Don't look at this restaurant looks ordinary, but inside it is like entering another world, people who have come here once will never forget the taste here, and they will have the idea of wanting to come a second time." ”

"I seem to have heard Xinyan mention this restaurant before, but I've never been here, how did you know about it?"

Lin Wenxuan got out of the car and asked casually while following Qiao Mingjue inside.

was asked by Lin Wenxuan, Qiao Mingjue was a little stunned for a while.

Before coming here, he thought that Lin Wenxuan didn't know that such a restaurant existed, and he wanted to show off his ability to discover excellent restaurants in front of her, but his wish was in vain after all.

Qiao Mingjue only learned about this restaurant through Yin Xinyan, and the last time Yin Xinyan invited him to dinner, both of them didn't mention half a word to Lin Wenxuan, and now it seems inappropriate to say it, right?

What's more, if you didn't say it at the time, but only now, no matter how you look at it, you have a feeling of wanting to cover it, right?

Although there is nothing between him and Yin Xinyan, in order to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, it is better not to mention this matter.

"Mingjue, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Qiao Mingjue didn't answer her question for a long time, Lin Wenxuan raised her head, her eyes full of doubts.

Qiao Mingjue's eyes were a little sloppy, his smile was a little reluctant, his face became ugly in an instant, and the whole person was stunned in place, this appearance really startled Lin Wenxuan.

Hearing Lin Wenxuan's voice, Qiao Mingjue came back to his senses, tried his best to control his expression, and stabilized his breathing.

"It's nothing, it's just remembering the first time I came to this restaurant to eat. I came with my colleagues, and I had a great time eating here, but then I got busier and busier with work, and I came less and less. ”

"Who in our company is so generous? Why haven't I ever encountered such a good thing?"

"It's my former leader, I just came to work at Ruisheng at that time, and you haven't graduated from college yet!"

Qiao Mingjue's mind turned, and he immediately came up with such a reason that didn't sound too abrupt.

Seeing that Lin Wenxuan didn't mean to continue asking, Qiao Mingjue breathed a sigh of relief, took her to sit down in the restaurant, and called the waiter to order the meal.

As soon as Lin Wenxuan arrived here, she completely relaxed, drank red wine, ate steak, and her mood suddenly became better.

"Mingjue, why have you been sullen all the time, has something happened?"

Since entering the restaurant, Qiao Mingjue has had a lot less smile on his face, and now he is a little unsavory when eating.

Qiao Mingjue took a deep breath: "It's nothing, I heard that you took Su Ya to eat with you at noon, did you have a good meal?"

"Of course I'm happy! Jiaxi invited guests to eat hot pot, so I took Xinyan and Su Ya to go, and we had a lively meal around! Everyone sat together to eat and drink, talk and laugh, we ......."

As she spoke, Lin Wenxuan couldn't laugh.

Qiao Mingjue suddenly asked about the noon incident, does that mean that he already knows that Qin Jiaxi has invited a treat?

Could it be that he ...... because of this

Lin Wenxuan's lips hooked up a sly smile: "Oh, I understand, you shouldn't be jealous because of Jiaxi's matter, right?"

"I'm not jealous! What is he capable of making me jealous?"

Qiao Mingjue viciously cut off a piece of beef, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously, as if he wanted to eat Qin Jiaxi.

Lin Wenxuan laughed: "Really, I said why did someone bring me to dinner so actively today, it turned out that it was because I felt uncomfortable and didn't want to lose to Jiaxi, right?"

"I didn't! I'm angry!" Qiao Mingjue puffed up, as if he was really angry.

Lin Wenxuan paused and said softly: "Are you still angry about what happened in the hospital last time?" I'm sorry, I apologize to you for Jiaxi, he was too anxious at the time, and he definitely didn't mean to target you." And he's been guilty for a long time since you all left last time, so don't worry about him! You're my boyfriend, he's my friend, you're going to make it very difficult for me!"

"I don't want to see you caught in the middle and embarrassed, but Xuanxuan, you have to be clear, I am your boyfriend, and some things should be done by me. What's more, you're not single either, so sometimes, shouldn't you keep some distance?"

Qiao Mingjue put down the knife and fork in his hand, feeling really uncomfortable.

In this way, he wanted to talk to Lin Wenxuan a long time ago, he always felt that Qin Jiaxi's purpose of approaching and taking care of Lin Wenxuan was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, in his eyes, Qin Jiaxi was his biggest opponent.

But because Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi have been friends for so many years, Qiao Mingjue really didn't want Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi to cut off all relationships and contacts, so he never restrained Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi from meeting.

Even if there is no secret between them, if it goes on like this, Qiao Mingjue is very afraid that Qin Jiaxi will snatch Lin Wenxuan.

Lin Wenxuan comforted softly: "Don't think like this, Jiaxi and I are really just friends, if you don't like me to meet him often, we will see each other a few times in the future, don't you be angry, okay? Come, open your mouth, I'll feed you steak!"

In order to appease Qiao Mingjue's emotions, Lin Wenxuan cut a small piece of steak, raised the fork, and handed it to Qiao Mingjue.

Qiao Mingjue didn't think about it, opened his mouth, and ate the steak directly.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Wenxuan asked with a smile.

Qiao Mingjue nodded, "It's delicious! What you feed is delicious! It's sweeter than eating honey!"

"I don't think there's anything sweeter in the world than your mouth!"

Although Lin Wenxuan was sarcastic about Qiao Mingjue, the smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed the joy of her mood.

Qiao Mingjue didn't think much about it anymore, even if today's events passed like this, he relaxed and enjoyed a romantic candlelight dinner with Lin Wenxuan that belonged to the two of them.

Sometimes, once the seeds of doubt are buried in the bottom of the heart, any slightest disturbance will set off a storm and waves......
