Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Inexplicable Invitation (Part II)
Sitting in the private car, looking at his good-looking side face, Le Yao mistakenly thought that he was still unhappy about the friction that happened in the company earlier, and had to take the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Bin, I'm sorry......"
"It's not your problem."
Hearing him say this, Le Yao looked up at him in surprise, because it didn't seem like Yan Bin in her impression would say it at all.
"But ......"
"Zeng Li is angry with you because he is in a bad mood. As a subordinate, it is inevitable that you will be scolded by your boss occasionally. He said as he steered the steering wheel.
Such gentle words made Le Yao feel like she was in a dream, and it was undeniable that his words did soothe her aggrieved heart.
"Thank you, Bin." She smiled and thanked her.
"I didn't help you much, so I don't have to thank you."
Le Yao is not a person who talks a lot, so he doesn't argue about this matter. It wasn't until they arrived at their destination that she looked at it and realized that he had taken him to the "Gree Hotel"!
"Bin, the two of us can actually go somewhere else to eat......
"Gree Hotel" is a famous high-consumption place in G City, in addition to its own splendid decoration, as well as the cooking skills comparable to the palace, as well as five-star rooms, and impeccable service, it can be said that people who have been here are absolutely at home!
"Who told you it's just the two of us?"
He looked at her with a strange gaze, and she was startled.
"Who else?" She asked hurriedly.
Before Yan Bin could speak, a coquettish voice interrupted the conversation between them.
"Bin, Xiao Yao!"
Le Yao had a bad premonition in her heart: This voice is ......
Sure enough, when she turned around, what she saw was Qiu Yaxuan wearing a gray fur coat and black high-heeled boots. She wondered: How did she come here? Don't......
Compared to her shock, Yan Bin's handsome smile was particularly charming, and he, who had been cold, finally had a little human temperature at this moment.
Qiu Yaxuan first nodded to Le Yao, then put her arms around Yan Bin's neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" She asked with a smile.
Yan Bin shook his head, reached out to wrap his arms around her slender waist, and said, "We also just arrived." ”
At this time, Le Yao really figured it out: it turned out that Yan Bin called her just to use her as a cover for their date, but in fact, the person he really wanted to date was only Qiu Yaxuan from beginning to end!
Seeing her lowered face, Qiu Yaxuan's face had a hint of apology.
"Bin, shouldn't I come?" She asked.
"How so?" His eyes swept to Le Yao and said, "I asked you to call back, did you do it?" ”
Le Yao gritted her teeth and nodded mechanically.
"It just so happens that there are a lot of delicious foods around here, so you can just go to any restaurant and sit down, right? When Xiaoxuan and I are leaving, I'll call you. He said.
"Bin, why don't you let Xiao Yao have dinner with us?" Qiu Yaxuan proposed.
"How's that going to work?" The big hand on her waist couldn't help but tighten a little, and the corners of Yan Bin's lips hooked up an evil smile, "I just want to be with you!" ”
Maybe it was because I couldn't see me and me who were like no one next to them, Le Yao took a deep breath, wiped away the sadness on her face, and raised her head with a smile.
"Bin, Senior Sister Xiaoxuan, are you going on a happy date? Don't worry about me. ”
"But ......" Qiu Yaxuan still looked at her a little uneasily, and finally her emotions prevailed. I saw her step forward and gently hugged Le Yao. "Thank you, Xiao Yao."
Le Yao didn't speak, just watched them walk into the hotel blankly......
Alas! How can it be so cold? It's not snowing yet......
It's hard to explain why even the steps under your feet have become heavy. Isn't her greatest wish just that Yan Bin can live happily according to his own wishes? But why is her heart as uncomfortable as someone strangled her neck?
She looked up, wondering where she was supposed to go. It was as if every place here was brightly lit, but none of the lights could shine into the gloom of her heart......
Le Yao didn't know how long she had been gone, and finally, she stopped in front of a shop that emitted the smell of braised pork. This shop is different from other shops, its decoration is extraordinarily simple, and even the location is chosen around the corner of the street.
"Girl, do you want to come in for dinner?" A chubby, amiable-looking middle-aged woman walked out with a smile and asked.
Le Yao nodded involuntarily, remembering that when she was a child, her favorite food was the braised pork made by her mother, which was fatty but not greasy, soft and delicious......
Stepping into the small shop, there are only 10 tables in total, and it is estimated that it can accommodate up to 40 people, and it is the peak time for diners, although the store is not large, even if it is full, it will not give people a crowded feeling, and even a little warm.
"Want something to eat?" The hostess asked.
"A bowl of braised pork noodles is fine, thank you." After a quick glance at the menu, Le Yao smiled.
"Do you want a drink?" The hostess asked again.
"No thanks."
The hostess didn't give her much recommendation, just made a note of the food she wanted, and then went to the kitchen to place an order.
The light of the shop is very soft, and it is easy to relax, and the walls are not covered with expensive paintings, but some random graffiti works, each of which is full of childlike fun.
Le Yao guessed: This should be painted by the proprietress's child, right?
Just as she was thinking, the proprietress walked up to her with hot braised pork noodles and put the bowl on the table with a smile.
"Thank you." Le Yao nodded in thanks.
The proprietress said to her, "Girl, eat slowly", and then walked away to greet the other guests. In the following time, Le Yao dined alone in silence, but kept fantasizing about the scene of Yan Bin and Qiu Yaxuan's date in her mind.
She knew that she was looking for abuse, if she had a little backbone, she should have yelled in front of them just now: "The old lady is not accompanied", and then turned around and left, but she didn't.
In fact, from the beginning, she should have been able to guess that it was impossible for Yan Bin to date her alone, and they had just not quarreled for a few days, and she had such a serious illusion, thinking that he really had the heart to live in harmony with her...... To put it bluntly, it's just to be able to help Qiu Yaxuan willingly.
Thinking about it, one tear, two tears, and even more tears dripped into the bowl......
The proprietress who was originally greeting guests saw Le Yao crying and hurriedly walked over.
"Girl, are you alright?" The hostess asked.
Le Yao hurriedly wiped away her tears and shook her head.
At this time, the proprietress simply sat down, as if she was ready to chat with her.
"Are you really okay? Could it be that the noodles I cooked were so unpalatable that they scared you to tears? ”
Hearing the funny laughter of the proprietress, Le Yao burst into tears and laughed.
"On the contrary, the noodles you cook are delicious."
The smell even made her feel like her mother was still alive.
"Huh! It's a pleasure to hear your compliments. The proprietress laughed.
"Auntie, has your shop just opened?"
If her memory is correct, when she came here 10 days ago, there was no such shop......
The proprietress looked around the shop when a boy in his teens approached them.
"Mom, look at the picture I just painted!"
The little boy happily raised the painting in his hand to show the proprietress to the proprietress who looked at it seriously, then praised her son for his good drawing, and said that he would buy another frame to frame it and hang it in the store.
Le Yao watched the simple interaction between them, and the corners of her mouth twitched, until she realized that the little boy was not quite right in the way she looked at people......
"My son is cute, isn't he?"
The gentle voice of the proprietress interrupted her thoughts, and she came back to her senses and nodded.
"Presumably, you've noticed something different from everyone else, right?"
"Huh?"
Le Yao didn't know how to answer for a while, and always felt that telling the truth was a very hurtful thing.
Seeing the entanglement in her eyes, the proprietress smiled softly.
"Huh! Girl, are you in a hurry? The hostess asked.
Le Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, she guessed: Without 2 hours, it is impossible for Yan Bin and Qiu Yaxuan to be able to get out of the "Geli Hotel", in this case, why should she sit here for a while longer?
"I have a lot of time now!" She smiled absentmindedly.
"That'...... Would you like to hear a story? ”
Tale? There was doubt in Le Yao's eyes, and at the same time, she also noticed a trace of sadness in the boss's beautiful eyes......
