Chapter 15: Thanksgiving
Qi Xiaoran was pulled into the elevator, staggered a few steps, and when she came back to her senses, the elevator door had been closed again, and she glanced at the floor pressed to Nuan Yang, which turned out to be the top floor.
She turned her head to look at the man on her right in confusion, and hesitated to speak, "Mr. Xiang, this is?"
Xiang Nuanyang didn't answer her question, the elevator stopped on the top floor, he walked out, and waited in front of the elevator door to see her follow him out, before turning around and walking towards the office.
In fact, even he didn't know what he had just done, it was completely impulsive, so when she asked, he didn't clear his mind.
Qi Xiaoran followed him into the president's office, and the entrance was a set of black and brown high-end leather sofas, and several financial magazines were placed in the corners of the coffee table.
On the right is a large glass door covered with gray window paper, and when you push the door in, you will find a place to work in the warm sun. There was a stack of materials on the brown desk in the office, and one of them had been turned over two-thirds of the way and placed in the middle.
"Mr. Xiang, you ...... Isn't there a lot of work to do?"
Qi Xiaoran came to the desk and looked at him who was already standing next to the office chair.
Xiang Nuanyang put one hand on the table, and glanced at the documents on the table, "Hmm." ”
"You sit down and wait, and we'll go to dinner later." ”
"Good. After Qi Xiaoran got down, he looked at the two guest chairs next to him for a while, and if he sat opposite him, he felt like he was overseer, so he thought of sitting on the sofa outside and waiting.
"Just sit here. ”
As soon as she turned around, she heard a low voice from behind her, so she had to turn around again, whisper to him, pull out one of the chairs and sit down.
With the incident of Floating Light City in the afternoon, she pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Xiang, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the matter?"
"The reason why the plan of Floating Light City was passed is that you go to ......"
"It's me. Xiang Nuanyang turned a page, just read two lines of words, and when he heard her hesitant tone, he raised his head directly and admitted frankly.
"I've seen your plan in advance, and I think it's not bad, and I happened to meet with Mr. Mo from Fuguang City in the afternoon, so I gave him the plan. ”
"That's it?"
"Well, that means there's nothing wrong with your plan. ”
Qi Xiaoran opened her mouth in a daze, a look of joy flashed on her crimson face, and she pinched her palm, "Then I will treat you to dinner today, just take it as a thank you gift." ”
"Good. Xiang Nuanyang didn't refuse, his lips hooked slightly, and the light in his black pupils rippled.
Qi Xiaoran didn't bother anymore, holding the satchel with both hands for a while, looking at Xiang Nuanyang's serious appearance, and writing a line on it from time to time, she became more and more sure of that sentence: A serious man is the most attractive.
She sat quietly for a while, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and took advantage of Xiang Nuanyang's inattention, pretending to be answering the signal, and secretly took a picture of his side face.
Tap your finger on the screen, and the more you look at it, the more handsome you feel. She bit her lower lip, and there was joy between her eyebrows.
Xiang Nuanyang closed the project book, and when she looked up, she saw a faint smile on her lips, her head lowered, and her eyes staring intently at the phone, because the phone was tilted in her direction, and he couldn't see the content on the screen.
After a moment's scrutiny, he cleared his throat and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Qi Xiaoran seemed to be taken aback, the hand holding the phone trembled, and she almost threw the phone to the ground, she pinched her thigh nervously, "It's nothing." ”
"Really?" he tilted his head suspiciously.
Qi Xiaoran felt weak, and stuffed the phone back into the satchel in a panic, "It's just a joke, I think it's quite interesting." ”
"Mr. Xiang, are you done with your work?" she raised her wrist and glanced at the time, "It's not too early, why don't we go to dinner first?"
"Good. ”
Xiang Nuanyang put the documents he had read on the other side, picked up the car keys on the desk, and walked out to the side, "Since you have a treat tonight, it's up to you to decide what to eat." ”
“...... Good. ”
Qi Xiaoran was a little embarrassed, she rarely went to high-end restaurants, and as Xiang Nuanyang, she couldn't take him to the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant she usually went to.
She hesitated for a while, remembering the Internet celebrity restaurant that Chen Fangning had dragged her to before, so she nervously proposed to go there.
Xiang Nuanyang seemed to be quite casual about eating, and after hearing her proposal, he just nodded and left the company with her.
After the two arrived at the restaurant, they started chatting about work, and slowly chatted about some small things in daily life.
This time, Qi Xiaoran didn't have the restraint and nervousness she had when facing him before, and she behaved naturally and relaxed throughout the whole dinner, even she herself was surprised.
After dinner, Xiang Nuanyang offered to send her back as usual.
Qi Xiaoran saw that it was not early, so he shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiang, this place is quite close to Shuanghu Garden, I can just walk back." ”
Xiang Nuanyang frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at the busy Dongjiang Bridge, under the bridge was a pitch-black river, and said coldly, "If you insist on walking, it's okay, let's go together." ”
She blinked, "Mr. Xiang, this ......"
"Just eat it. ”
Without waiting for her to respond, Xiang Nuanyang had already stepped out.
Qi Xiaoran thought that he might just be joking, but he didn't expect him to really go with him, gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, trotted over, reached out and tugged at his shirt without thinking, then let go and looked up, "Mr. Xiang, you better drive." ”
"Why?" Xiang Nuanyang paused, his eyes slanted to the side and looked at her.
His heart suddenly throbbed when he felt her tugging at him just now, and he frowned in confusion, but soon relaxed.
"You're going to walk with me now, how are you going to come back later?" she pretended to be casual and stroked a strand of hair that fell down her forehead, "so let's drive back." ”
Quietly raising her eyes and glancing at him, she seemed to be confused, she grabbed the chain of her satchel and explained: "There is a section of the bridge where the light is broken, and it is not easy to walk at night." ”
Xiang Nuanyang was slightly stunned, was he worried about his slight night blindness?
"Okay, I'll go drive. He turned cleanly, took out his car keys, and walked to the parking lot.
Qi Xiaoran stood on the side of the road and waited for a while, then saw him change into the black phantom and drove over, tilted his head in confusion, and after getting into the car, he finally couldn't help but ask, but the explanation he got was that the seat bag in the car was blue, so he liked it more.
Later, she recalled that every time she met Xiang Nuanyang, there would always be a touch of blue on him or beside him, and she knew it.
The Phantom went from the upper bridge to the lower bridge, and there was only a traffic light at the intersection in front of the Upper Dongjiang Bridge, so it only took five minutes for the car to arrive outside the gate of Shuanghu Garden.
"My night blindness, you also heard Fang Ning say it?"
Qi Xiaoran was unbuckling his seat belt, heard his voice, raised his head to meet his inquiring eyes, and nodded slowly, "Hmm." ”
Sort of. She silently added in her heart.
When she first suspected that he had night blindness, she and Chen Fangning were not familiar with each other. Later, the two became friends, and Chen Fangning learned that her crush was Xiang Nuanyang, and in order to make Qi Xiaoran die, he told her all the quirks and shortcomings he knew about him.
Therefore, it can be regarded as what Chen Fangning told her.
"Mr. Xiang, I'll go back first, you drive and pay attention to safety. She pulled her thoughts back, got out of the car, put her right hand on the edge of the door, and smiled into the car.
Her eyebrows were slightly curved, the tails of her eyes were curled up in a small arc, and there was still a faint layer of pink on her fair cheeks.
Xiang Nuanyang suddenly felt a strange electric shock, like an electric shock pen she had played with when she was young, and a very faint electric current transmitted to her heart through her eyes, causing a ripple on the calm surface of the lake.
He was stunned for a moment, and lowered his eyelids slightly, "Well, Fang Ning still lives with you now?"
"yes. Qi Xiaoran didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, but she still answered him naturally.
"Do you have rooms in your apartment?"
"Nope. She pursed her lips and shook her head, "There is only one room, and the building I live in is a one-bedroom building, which is basically occupied by singles like me." ”
She rented this place because of the ease of transportation, the security is higher than other bachelor apartments, and the reason is that it has a balcony view of the Aike Group building.
However, rents here are also a bit more expensive than in other places.
"So......" Xiang Nuanyang frowned suddenly, "You have all slept together for the past few days?"
"Well, yes. ”
After listening to Qi Xiaoran's answer, he suddenly felt a stone pressing on his chest, which made him emotionally depressed.
"Mr. Xiang, are you looking for Fang Ning?" Qi Xiaoran saw him lowering his eyes, his thin lips pursed slightly, and she leaned over to ask puzzled.
Xiang Nuanyang was just in a trance for a moment, and after hearing her voice, he immediately returned to normal, his eyes clear, "Don't look for it, you can go back." ”
Qi Xiaoran answered softly, just as he was asking as a cousin, closed the car door, and walked into the community.
After she returned to the apartment, she found that there was no one at home, so she remembered that Chen Fangning had mentioned to her in the afternoon that she was going out shopping, and sent her a message to ask when she would come back, so she packed her clothes and went to take a shower.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw that the prompt light on my phone was on, so I picked it up.
"I'll be there soon, and I'll bring you sugar water!"
After reading Chen Fangning's message, she exited the dialog box between the two, glanced at Xiang Nuanyang's name, thought about it, and quickly typed in a line of words: "Mr. Xiang, are you home?"
