44. Will still marry you
In the afternoon, Charlene asked Qiao Mingyu out for dinner, and he readily agreed, but at this moment, half an hour had passed since the agreed time, and Qiao Mingyu still did not appear.
Charlene sat in her position and kept looking at the platinum watch on her wrist, hesitating to call him, just proud that it was impossible for her to do such a thing, but it was also impossible for her to get up and leave, she knew that women sometimes play small sex is indeed new for men, but that degree must be grasped well, not passing, nor not being hot, otherwise it will not hurt or itch to act in vain.
She has never waited for anyone like this, with her appearance and identity, most of them are men waiting for themselves, and now in such a scene, it is inevitable that she feels a little uncomfortable, but because the object is Qiao Mingyu, she can only endure it, and even have to smile.
Qiao Mingyu finally arrived late after 20 minutes, and his chic and wanton appearance made Xia Lin's grievances go half in an instant, and raised a gentle smile: "Is there a traffic jam on the road?" ”
Qiao Mingyu looked at her with a smile:
"Waiting a long time?"
"I've just arrived, too."
"Oh." Qiao Mingyu nodded understandingly: "I knew that you women had a problem with being late, so I deliberately delayed the time." ”
Xia Lin didn't expect Qiao Mingyu to say it so thoroughly, and the expression on her face stiffened instantly, but she quickly covered it up with a smile: "You may not know me yet, I am a person with a sense of time, I will not be late, next time you don't have to do this." ”
Qiao Mingyu smiled evilly and stopped continuing the topic:
"What to eat?"
"It's up to you."
Qiao Mingyu called the waiter, rejected the menu he handed over, and said without looking at it: "Let's have the most expensive ten dishes, perfect and good." ”
"Haode, Mr. Joe."
After the waiter left, Qiao Mingyu looked a little bored, leaning on the back of the chair casually, his fingers rhythmically lit on the table, his eyes fell on the window, and he didn't look at Charlene again.
Charlene ignored the feeling of being ignored, adjusted her expression, and spoke softly:
"Has the company been busy lately?"
"It's fine."
"My parents have been asking us about our marriage lately, did my uncle say when we were engaged?"
This sentence successfully made Qiao Mingyu's eyes fall on himself, the difference is that there is a thick ridicule and sarcasm in this gaze, and even the words are:
"Marriage? Do you think they care about our marriage, or do you want to ask me when Joe's will invest in their company? ”
"Mingyu, my parents ...... them"
Qiao Mingyu stretched out his index finger and shook it, stopping what she wanted to say:
"Charlene, you should have seen the news, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me out for dinner tonight, but your father's company now has X International involved, and you should know how big X International's strength and background are without me telling me, so your company, even if I want to help, I can't help now, I can't take the whole Qiao family because of your crumbling empty shell, I don't agree, and my father won't agree."
Charlene's smile froze on her face, looking a little embarrassed.
"Of course, you agreed to marry me because I could help your father's company at that time, and I am also helpless in this situation now, if you regret it now and want to cancel the marriage, I will not say anything, I fully respect your decision."
"No, no, no, I don't regret it." As soon as the words came out, Charlene realized that she was a little too unreserved, and secretly glanced at Qiao Mingyu nervously, and saw that his expression was normal, so she relaxed a little: "I have no regrets, even if you can't help my father's company, I will still marry you." ”
Qiao Mingyu chuckled:
"That's good."
