Chapter 80: Goodbye Gu Xiaoru (II)
"What's wrong?" Seeing his father's smile in his face, Yan Bin asked.
"What else? Your mother and Xiao Yao won't be going home for dinner tonight. Yan Shaolin sighed and said.
"Not going home? Why? ”
This is something that rarely happens, so Yan Bin's eyes are also suspicious.
"I said that I met an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time, and the two of them went with me."
Yan Shaolin stood up and put the folder in his hand back into the filing cabinet. Now, the two of them haven't gotten off work yet, and they originally thought that they would be accompanied by their wives and daughters when they went home later, so it seems that it is better to stay here and work for a while.
"Mom and Xiao Yao have their own social circles, what kind of friends do you have to accompany them?"
"It's not like you don't know, they signed up for gym classes, and it's normal to meet some like-minded people in it." Yan Shaolin thought for a while and said.
"Xiao Yao and my mother are so old apart, in case the other party is a young person again, I really doubt that they will be able to talk together." Yan Bin lifted the corners of his lips and said.
"Son, do you think there is a generation gap in communication between your mother and Xiao Yao?"
Yan Bin was stunned for a moment and shook his head. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that compared to him, Le Yao was more like Yan Gui Yalan's biological child.
"That's the end of it! Okay, let's not worry about this, let's talk about the cooperation you discussed with Haotian before, right? ”
"That's right, what Haotian and I mean is that there is now a piece of land in City G that is worth investing in, it was originally a factory, and then the government took it back, and it will be ready for auction in two days, and we can ......"
Yan Shaolin's eyes were cold and he listened to Yan Bin's report. In the company, they are only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, so he demands his son according to the standards of other subordinates.
"Have you gone on a field trip?" He asked.
"Yes, Haotian and I have already been there, and that place is a bit remote at the moment, but the government has also decided to build a viaduct and a subway there, and in three or five years, the prospects there are limitless." Yan Bin replied.
Yan Shaolin didn't say anything immediately, his slender index finger tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
"President?"
"There's no rush in advance, let's wait until the auction is over to discuss the specifics!"
Yan Bin bowed his head slightly, he was about to go out, but was stopped by Yan Shaolin.
"Let's go out to eat together tonight, right?"
Hearing this, Yan Bin looked at him suspiciously, since his parents remarried, except for special circumstances, Yan Shaolin is basically a good husband who goes home to eat on time, even if Yan Gui Yalan is not at home occasionally, he has never gone out to eat.
"Are you sure?"
Yan Shaolin grinned the corners of his lips and nodded. It's just that, to Yan Bin's surprise, Yan Shaolin didn't go to a luxury hotel with him, but went to a food stall on the side of the road!
"Let's order!"
The father and son each had a menu, Yan Shaolin ordered a few kinds of seafood, and Yan Bin ordered most of the vegetables.
"How did I not know you became a vegetarian?" He asked jokingly.
Yan Bin didn't speak, in fact, he rarely eats roadside stalls. Even if he is dating Le Yao, he is looking for a place with a mood.
Maybe it was because they had come at an unfortunate time, there were already a lot of guests sitting here, and the noisy sound made Yan Bin frown unhappily.
"Don't you think it's noisy?" Yan Shaolin asked funny.
"Dad, why do you suddenly want to come here to eat?"
Even if they don't go to a big hotel, they can go to a small restaurant, but he really doesn't dare to compliment this food stall.
"I haven't been here for a long time. The most recent one, it was a few years ago......"
Yan Shaolin's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was recalling something.
"Dad......"
Yan Bin looked at his father, a light smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were soft, and the years had left a few traces on this handsome face.
"When I was in love with your mother. Your mother's favorite food is the food stalls. He laughs.
Hearing his father's words, a flash of surprise flashed in Yan Bin's eyes, he didn't expect that his noble and beautiful mother would actually like to eat roadside stalls?!
"Huh! Isn't it hard to believe? ”
Yan Bin bowed his head slightly.
"The first time I was brought here by her, it was the same look you have now. However, seeing your mother so happy, I feel that my patience is worth it. ”
Finally, when the two men chatted here, the first dish they ordered, fried flower nails, was served.
"Let's eat!"
Yan Shaolin picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a flower nail and put it in his mouth, although the taste was not quite the same as in his memory, it could still make people feel a trace of warmth.
On the contrary, it was Yan Bin, who stared at this plate of fried flower nails for a long time, but refused to stretch out his chopsticks.
Yan Shaolin looked at his son's slightly cramped appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"Son, this is a delicacy, not a poison, you really don't have to show such a cautious expression."
Yan Bin's face stiffened, of course he knew that these things were edible, but he couldn't hold the chopsticks......
"When you were dating Xiao Yao, didn't she take you to eat this?" Yan Shaolin asked.
Yan Bin shook his head, in fact, most of the dates were proposed by him, and Le Yao rarely expressed his opinion.
Yan Shaolin looked at his son's cold face, and suddenly understood why his wife was worried about Le Yao's emotional problems.
"Bin, it's not me talking about you, it's right for a man to stand up to the sky. However, if you want to be macho to support the scene, it is too unacceptable! ”
My previous self was a bit like him, and I rarely considered things from his wife's point of view. It is also because after the divorce that he reviewed what he had done in the past, so that he could better understand his wife's intentions.
"I'm not machismo." He said lightly.
"Are you sure?" Yan Shaolin raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yan Bin nodded and said, "I also consulted Le Yao about dating, and she always said that it was up to me to decide." ”
In fact, he doesn't like girls like her at all, which will only make him miss the appearance of being with Qiu Yaxuan and arguing with him before......
Thinking of Qiu Yaxuan, Yan Bin's face unexpectedly became a little gentle.
"I bet it's not Xiao Yao in your mind right now." Yan Shaolin observed for a while and said decisively.
Yan Bin was stunned for a moment and did not refute his words.
"Bin, you should learn to let go of what you have lost, otherwise, it will be unfair to Xiao Yao."
If he really can't let go of Qiu Yaxuan, then he shouldn't hold Le Yao tightly by his side, wouldn't this make each other miserable?
Yan Bin twisted his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about his father's words.
Should he really let go of Le Yao? Why was he full of displeasure and even a little uncomfortable when he thought that Le Yao would leave his side? However, if he wanted him to say that he liked Le Yao, he felt that his feelings for her had not reached that level......
"Okay, let's not talk about those things, the dishes are all served, let's eat first!" Yan Shaolin greeted with a smile.
Compared with the dialogue between their father and son, Le Yao, Yan Gui Yalan and Gu Xiaoru really talked about each other. They don't have a specific topic, they just talk about everything, but they find that they have more in common with each other, and even their views on certain things are highly consistent!
"We must have been sisters in our last life!" Yan Gui Yalan guessed.
"How so?"
Gu Xiaoru gracefully picked up her wine glass, took a sip of delicious red wine, and secretly congratulated herself that she had the foresight to reserve a seat first, otherwise, they would have to wait for the flip like the people sitting outside the door.
"Godmother means that we have a very tacit understanding on many things." Le Yao explained with a smile.
Thinking of what they had just chatted about, Gu Xiaoru also agreed with her.
"Even if we weren't sisters, we would definitely be a family in our last life!" She laughed.
The three of them talked and laughed for a while, and then exchanged each other's usual contact information.
"If we have time in the future, let's get together more, shall we?" Yan Gui Yalan said with a smile.
"That's a good idea, I'm idle anyway." Gu Xiaoru shrugged her shoulders and said.
"Well, Sister Xiaoru, you can talk more to my godmother! I'll be back on vacation......"
There was a hint of loneliness and reluctance in her tone, and her delicate face lost the light of talking and laughing before.
"Huh! Fool! Aren't there still computers? We can video it! Gu Xiaoru proposed.
"Yes, Xiao Yao, in this way, even if you don't go back to G City, you can see each other often." Yan Gui Yalan nodded.
"There's one of the stupidest ways: if you really miss me, you can send me a message, and as long as I'm free, I'll go to T City to see you." Gu Xiaoru said with a smile.
"That's a lot of trouble! If it interferes with your work, it's mine. Le Yao frowned and said, the last thing she wanted was to cause trouble to others.
"No! I promise! Gu Xiaoru raised her hand and made an oath, "I had a very happy dinner today, I hope we have a chance to have dinner next time!" ”
"Definitely, Xiaoru, send me a text message when you get home and let me know you're safe!" Yan Gui Yalan admonished.
Suddenly, a strange feeling surged into Gu Xiaoru's heart, and her expression became a little uncomfortable.
"Sister Xiaoru, what's wrong?"
Seeing that her face was suddenly not good, Le Yao hurriedly walked over to help her.
"I'm fine, let's go first!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and hailed a taxi, and left the restaurant under the eyes of Yan Gui Yalan and Le Yao......
As soon as she returned home, Gu Xiaoru first rested for a while, and then took a quick shower, she recalled the conversation when they met just now, and she couldn't help but make a call.
"Hello?"
A deep male voice sounded from the other end of the phone, and Gu Xiaoru slowly hooked the corners of her lips.
"It's me."
The man was silent for two seconds before speaking.
"I know."
The answer is very simple, and you can't even judge the joys and sorrows of the other party.
"Who do you think I'm talking about today?"
The tone of this question could be heard with a little excitement, and obviously, Gu Xiaoru was satisfied with what she had gained when she went out today.
"Who?"
She briefly told what had happened, but until she finished speaking, she didn't hear the other party answer him, which made her wonder if the other party was still listening to her?
"Hey! You're not going to fall asleep, are you? She asked.
"Nope."
It was still as brief, which made Gu Xiaoru pout in displeasure.
"I didn't speak for a long time, I thought you were asleep!" She grumbled.
"How dare I fall asleep when you speak?"
Finally, the man, who had been in an indifferent tone, asked with a slight smile. It was this kind of smile that made Gu Xiaoru feel bored talking to him.
"Hey, you're not cute at all!" She pouted and grumbled.
When the man on the other end of the phone heard her words, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"I don't think there is a man who is praised for being 'cute' and says 'thank you' to each other gratefully." He replied lightly.
"Anyway, our relationship is so close, can't it be an exception?" She asked.
Exception?
The man raised an eyebrow, he was already an exception if he sat in front of her so patiently and listened to her story.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The man's eyes moved back to the computer screen, and he already had the urge to hang up the phone.
Perhaps because they knew each other very well, Gu Xiaoru quickly guessed his thoughts.
"Don't hang up the phone!" She yelled furiously.
Fortunately, the man on the other end of the phone was mentally prepared in advance and took the receiver to the side, so that his ears were protected from the noise.
"If you don't get straight to the point, I can't rule out that you will!" The man grinned and threatened.
When Gu Xiaoru heard his laughing voice, she really didn't want to play tricks on him anymore.
"Alright! Got you covered! It's Shen Mantong. ”
Shen Mantong?
A flash of surprise flashed in the man's obsidian eyes, and he didn't hear her mention the name.
"What's wrong with her?"
The voice was as steady as ever, and now, Gu Xiaoru couldn't guess his thoughts.
"She's fine, it's just that I met her roommate, the new friend I made at the gym, and it's a lot of coincidence in this world!" She laughs.
Roommate?
The man lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and a name suddenly crossed his mind. He almost forgot that this woman who had a lot of relationship with him was also in G City......
"You know each other well?" He asked.
"Hmm...... It should be more talkative, right? That girl is very simple. ”
Don't look at her Gu Xiaoru's appearance of being very innocent and ignorant of the world, in fact, she is more shrewd than ordinary people.
"Oh, is there anything else?"
The man's face returned to its usual calmness, and the surprise that had just appeared on his face disappeared in an instant.
"The girl of the Shen family is so good with that little girl, do you need me to help you?" She asked with a wicked smile.
"Don't do anything, I have my own measure in this matter!"
Barely waiting for her words to fall, the man said directly, for fear that she would help and mess up his plan.
"Huh! If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know! ”
Gu Xiaoru blinked, but unfortunately the other party couldn't see it. The man was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.
"Take care of yourself."
The girl who was still laughing suddenly stopped breathing, her heart trembled fiercely, and a trace of strange emotions crossed her eyes.
"Hmm."
The almost inaudible sound wafted through the large apartment, contrasting with the warmth of the interior......
