Chapter 12 Acting
When I got home that day, I was very depressed, thinking about the wedding 4 days later, and even the attentive Jiaqi saw that I had something on my mind, and when I was eating, I turned my head sideways with some curiosity and asked me: "Papa, what's wrong, Papa's brows are so thick?"
"Nothing, let's eat. Kiki. "At that time, I was not in the mood to explain to Jiaqi, not to mention that she didn't understand when I said it.
For the rest of the day, I spent the whole day in a conflicted mood, and I couldn't calm down.
During that period of time, I especially wanted one person, that was Ma Yike, I thought at that time, if Ma Yike was still in everything, it would be easy to do, Ma Yike and I have a very good relationship, her posture and beauty are not under Zhang Jiaqi, as long as we go to the wedding as boyfriend and girlfriend, then everything is logical and easy to handle.
But the problem is, now that Mayik is gone, I only have Jiaqi left.
There's no way I'm going to take an 8-year-old girl to a wedding and then tell someone that the 8-year-old girl is my girlfriend.
Unless I'm crazy.
What should I do? Could it be that I really have to be a bachelor and sit at the bachelor table?
Thinking that even Quan Wei and Li Zeyu have found their own "girlfriends", I feel even more pressure, in my junior high school class, several of them are relatively inconspicuous types, belonging to the kind of pure slings that are hard to believe that they will find a girlfriend when they are killed, but now they don't have to sit at the single table, what should I do?
I was depressed for a night, and I stayed in bed with my eyes open for a long time, and in the end, I still decided on an optional candidate, that is, Tang Mengyan.
It's not the first time that the name Tang Mengyan has flashed in my mind, in fact, I had already thought of Li Zeyu when I asked Li Zeyu if I had found a girlfriend, but I never made up my mind.
In terms of posture alone, Tang Mengyan is definitely a superior choice, her appearance is not inferior to Zhang Jiaqi and Ma Yike, and even more beautiful than them, if I take Tang Mengyan to the wedding, my face is 200% passable, and I have a very good relationship with her, I also like her very much, usually we often play, and there is no big problem in pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. But what I'm worried about is what I can do to convince Tang Mengyan that with Tang Mengyan's personality, she should have a boyfriend herself, and it is impossible for me to mess up other people's feelings for the sake of my own face.
That's why I'm conflicted.
Because of that, I thought about it for a long time in bed that night.
In the end, there was still no result.
And in the next two days, I have been spending time in contradictions, in the company I still played with Tang Mengyan as normal as pretending to be nothing, teasing each other, and talking very openly, but as Li Zhenhao's wedding day approached day by day, I was still worried.
Such worries finally flared up on the evening of May 3.
That evening, when the company had just gotten off work, Tang Mengyan was humming a small adjustment, sorting out the documents and putting them on the bookcase, planning to go home from work, and I just seized the opportunity to muster up the courage to ask the questions I had been brewing for three days.
"Tang Mengyan. β
"Hey, what is the boss doing?" Tang Mengyan, who was placing documents on the bookcase, turned her head sideways, looked at me with sparkling eyes, and responded to me.
"Tang Mengyan, you ...... Monday night Is it inconvenient to come out?"
"Huh?" Tang Mengyan was taken aback when she heard my vague question, pushed the document into the bookcase and turned to look at me, "Monday night?...... It should be fine, what's wrong?oh~~ I know, boss, you're finally going to have a treat, right?"
"It's not a treat......
"Isn't it a treat?" Tang Mengyan showed a look of some disappointment, and then her eyes flashed as if she thought of something, and looked at me with a malicious smile, "Could it be that the boss wants to go on a date and invite me to watch a movie?"
"Hehe, it's not. I...... It's just a bit of a hassle, and I want you to do me a favor. Now that I think about it, only you can help me. β
"Oh...... What's the trouble?" Listening to my words, Tang Mengyan's expression became a little more serious.
"Hehe, here's the thing, one of my old classmates got married, and I have to go the night after tomorrow, but ...... This wedding is a bit special, my classmate has a lot of tricks, this time I have to ask each of our male classmates who have been in the same class with him to bring a girlfriend, and say that there should be a couple table and a single table, and those who don't have a girlfriend will sit at the single table......"
"Oh oh, so you haven't found a girlfriend yet, so you came to me to pretend to be your girlfriend? hehe, I'm right, right?" Tang Mengyan looked at me with a smile on her face, but her eyes were shining.
"Uh...... Hehe, that's pretty much what you said. "I didn't expect Tang Mengyan to say what I wanted to say so directly, there was no way, I had to admit it frankly.
"The wedding is going to be held the day after tomorrow, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, I know it's very difficult for you, hehe, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it. I said to Tang Mengyan with some embarrassment.
Listening to my words, Tang Mengyan raised her eyebrows, but there was a smug smile in her eyes.
"Hmph, boss, I just told you to find a girlfriend sooner, you don't listen, look, now you're at a loss, right? Boss, you see how far-sighted I am. If you don't listen to the beauty, you will suffer in front of you!" Tang Mengyan gloated.
"Okay, big beauty, I know I'm wrong, I'm stupid, right?
"Okay, uh-huh...... Let me think. Being asked by me again and again, Tang Mengyan also took a breath, looked around for a while, hugged her chest and raised an eyebrow, pretending to be thoughtful.
At last she squinted at me again, looked me up and down for a while, and then burst into laughter, and finally she clapped her hands again and said, "All right, boss, this is done!"
"You...... Promised?"
"yes, why don't I go on such an interesting occasion as getting married? And I can have a good meal, hehe. β
"But you're pretending to be a couple with me, not just going to eat together. I lowered my voice. I never thought that Tang Mengyan would really agree.
"Hmm...... No problem, as long as you cooperate with the boss...... Well, it's going to be fine!"
"Then will there be a problem with your boyfriend, if he finds out, he won't be happy, right?" If this kind of thing is not handled well in advance, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.
"Boyfriend, boss, when did I say I had a boyfriend?"
"You don't have a boyfriend? Who are you cheating? How can a girl like you have money be chased by no one? At least the Zhang Yang who brought you to the company before is always your boyfriend, right?"
"Oh boss, I've said it all, Zhang Yang is not my boyfriend. We're just ordinary friends, just on the way to work. β
"Then I don't believe you'll be chased by anyone. β
"Cut," Tang Mengyan rolled her eyes, "Boss, do you think that every girl with a better appearance will have a bunch of stinky men chasing after her?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
"At least you won't. With your appearance and character, you will definitely not go unanswered. β
"Go, forget it, I won't tell you, boss, you are really ...... It's so nerve-wracking! You know, there are a lot of situations involved in this kind of thing. β
"Like ......?"
"Ahem...... Forget it, I'm annoyed, okay, boss, I'll admit that I used to have a boyfriend too, and then I broke up, okay?"
Under my repeated questioning, Tang Mengyan finally pursed her lips and said her past a little unhappily.
"Divided?" I looked at her in surprise.
"yes, it's divided. Tang Mengyan blinked and replied truthfully.
"That'...... It was he who broke up with you...... Or did you dump him?" I couldn't help but be a little curious. I don't know if Tang Mengyan's words were temporary perfunctory, but they did arouse my curiosity.
"Hey, boss, are you asking too much? Even though I'm your secretary, it's a personal matterβno comment. Tang Mengyan also put up a shelf, with a dodging look in her eyes, and it seemed that she refused to tell me.
"Okay, that's fine, I won't ask you. But don't go wrong the day after tomorrow, it's up to you this time. β
"Hee-hee, don't worry, boss, pretending to be a couple is an interesting thing that can only be seen in TV dramas, and I will definitely do my best 100%. Tang Mengyan looked excited and expectant, her beautiful eyes were shining, she was already very beautiful, and now she smiled like a child, which made me a little dizzy.
"Wait, and you have changed the title of boss, just call it in the company...... If my classmates hear about it, I'm sure I'll be able to wear it. When the time comes, you should just call me Jiandong. β
Jiandong ...... Well...... That's right, but I'm used to calling you boss, so it's a little uncomfortable to call you by your name. Jiandong ...... Jiandong Jiandong Jiandong, hee-hee. β
"If you don't fit in, you have to get used to it. It's really up to you this time. β
"Okay, Jiandong...... Is it okay to call me that?" Tang Mengyan raised her head and called me softly, and deliberately pretended to be gentle when she called my name, but her expression was a little awkward.
"It's not natural enough, I want to be kinder, how do I feel like an aunt calling me. β
"Damn, be kind, tease me. I think you want to fake it, Jiandong, uh-huh, I said yes?" Tang Mengyan's eyes were like silk, she squinted and pretended to look at me with disdain, and her thighs in black silk trembled deliberately.
"Hey, it's pretty much the same this time, it looks like you're learning pretty fast. I seized the moment and said.
"Cut! You've changed the subject again!"
"Just kidding, nothing. I promise I don't have any bad intentions. This time, I really just wanted you to help me, and I didn't have anything else to think about. β
"Really just helping?"
"Of course it's true. β
"Oh. Well, help to help...... So be it. To my surprise, after listening to my answer, Tang Mengyan's face actually showed a little disappointed, and seeing her expression, I also felt even more conscientious.
"That's good. The wedding is at 5 p.m. the day after tomorrow, so just tell me the location, and I'll pick you up half an hour in advance. β
"Hmm...... Just pick me up at Central Park, where I'll wash my hair that day. β
"Okay, I'll pick you up on time, don't be late. β
"No, it's a matter of your dignity, I know. Surely it won't be negligent. Tang Mengyan hugged her chest and pretended to nod her head deeply, then she looked at the time again, was taken aback, then picked up the shoulder bag on the side and said to me, "Okay, Jiandong, it's not too early, I'll go first." When the time comes, don't be fooled. Such a wonderful show, you must take me with you. β
"Well, you're indispensable. Thank you so much this time. I smiled and thanked Tang Mengyan again, and then watched her smile and hum a small tune and walked out of the office freely, her back disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Looking at Tang Mengyan's distant back, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and I felt a sense of letting go of the burden in my heart. Tang Mengyan's little girl's personality is too jumpy, it is really difficult for ordinary people to grasp, I originally had her intention to refuse, but I didn't expect her to agree to me.
It really relieved me, and after a few days of mental struggle, I finally had a satisfactory result.
Of course, in addition to being relieved, I was also a little inexplicably excited, and I was a little inexplicably excited to think that I could take Tang Mengyan to public like a couple.
It's not the first time I've gone out with a girl, but this time I'm still a little excited. In comparison, when I was with Ma Yike in the past, I often went out with her, and although there were many times, I rarely seemed to feel this kind of excitement.
I think it's mainly because Ma Yike has always kept her distance from me. When Ma Yike and I were together, there was no development between us, plus she had some shadows in her heart, and she couldn't let go of me, and she herself was a very quiet and silent type, so we usually didn't talk much when we went out, just took a walk silently, and there was no spark. Speaking of which, the only intersection between me and Ma Yike is actually only Jiaqi.
And Tang Mengyan is different, she is younger than me, and her personality is active and cheerful, although it is a bit difficult to control, but at least it reduces the sense of distance, compared to Ma Yi's worried temperament, and Tang Mengyan may be more like a couple.
At least that's how I feel.
That night, because of the relationship between his heart, he slept very soundly.
