Chapter Ninety-Six: Suppressing the News
After eating, Old Man Feng called Ding Xiaotian over, "I'll suppress that unreliable news for you, you be careful of the people around you, don't trust everyone wholeheartedly." β
Old Man Feng still didn't want his naΓ―ve granddaughter to know about these sinister things, so he said vaguely.
"Uh-huh." Ding Xiaotian didn't think much about it, and nodded at Old Man Feng.
Old Man Feng looked at Ding Xiaotian's beautiful appearance, and he didn't know whether to be helpless or relieved.
"Ding Shaoqi!"
Old Man Feng was not as gentle as he was to Ding Shaoqi, "Give me a snack and take good care of your sister." β
Ding Shaoqi glanced at his sister who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and felt a sense of powerlessness, "I know, grandpa." β
After talking to her grandfather for a while, Ding Xiaotian and Ding Shaoqi went home.
In the morning, Ding Xiaotian originally wanted to take a taxi to the company by herself, but was stopped by Ding Shaoqi.
"Wait, I'll send you." Thinking of his grandfather's advice yesterday, Ding Shaoqi offered to pick up Ding Xiaotian.
"Okay then." Ding Xiaotian looked at the time, "Don't send me downstairs to the company, the traffic light in front of the company stops, and I walk over by myself." β
Ding Shaoqi nodded dispensably and sent Ding Xiaotian to work.
After Ding Xiaotian got out of the car, she walked slowly towards the company, the autumn breeze was bleak, blowing through Ding Xiaotian's thin body, Ding Xiaotian rubbed her arm, sneezed, and gathered her collar, at this time Ding Xiaotian saw a Bentley driving slowly in front of her eyes, and from the half-open window, Ding Xiaotian saw Nie Yuanchen's handsome cheeks.
Before Ding Xiaotian could say hello, Ding Xiaotian inadvertently saw another face that has appeared quite frequently recently, it was Tao Xi'er.
Tao Xi'er was sitting next to Nie Yuanchen, talking and smiling sideways, not knowing what to talk about, Nie Yuanchen's expressionless face was slightly soft.
The vinegar jar in my heart was overturned in an instant.
Ding Xiaotian withdrew her stupid hand that wanted to say hello, and silently watched the car drive to the parking lot next to the company.
Early in the morning, why did Tao Xier and Nie Yuanchen come to work in the same car?
Their homes don't live together.
Knowing that she shouldn't suspect anything, Ding Xiaotian still had some bad feelings in her heart.
After returning to the company, Ding Xiaotian's head was messy all morning, and she couldn't control her thoughts.
Soon it was noon, and Nie Yuanchen called Ding Xiaotian in before getting off work.
"Let's go out to eat at noon."
Ding Xiaotian was also tired of eating takeout at noon every day, so she nodded approvingly.
"Then when you get off work, president, you can wait for me at the bottom of the building first, and I will stay with you." Because of the last scandal, Ding Xiaotian decided to keep a certain distance from Nie Yuanchen in public, or in the company.
Nie Yuanchen didn't know Ding Xiaotian's careful thoughts, and when he heard her say this, he nodded lightly, and there was some blue and black under his eyes, which was really a short time of more than an hour at noon, which was not enough for Nie Yuanchen to catch up on sleep.
Therefore, when Nie Yuanchen sleeps at night, he still habitually takes sleeping pills, but the amount is slightly reduced.
Only Nie Yuanchen and his sister Nie Qianqian knew all this, and Nie Qianqian still felt a little distressed about her insomnia brother while Nie Yuanchen's dosage was reduced.
Coming out of Nie Yuanchen's office, Ding Xiaotian sighed lightly, when facing Nie Yuanchen, she still didn't show that she cared about the morning, and she didn't know in what capacity she was asking about such a private thing.
When he saw Ding Xiaotian come out, he sighed, and the colleagues next to him thought that Ding Xiaotian was called by the president to blame him again, so he came to chat with him sympathetically, but he didn't take it to heart.
Although Ding Xiaotian didn't want to be alone with Nie Yuanchen now, he had already agreed.
After getting off work, Ding Xiaotian was grinding in his seat, and waited until Nie Yuanchen sent a text message to urge, and then took his bag to meet Nie Yuanchen.
"You can't do things faster, you have to procrastinate."
"Oh." Ding Xiaotian replied perfunctorily.
Nie Yuanchen took a deep breath, if he didn't sleep well, it would easily lead to irritability, God knows how Nie Yuanchen was struggling to suppress his temper.
On the next road, neither of them spoke again, and in the end, Ding Xiaotian couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and spoke first to break the silence.
"What are we going to eat?" β
Nie Yuanchen glanced at Ding Xiaotian lightly, his thin lips moved slightly, "I'll take you to eat the pot chicken." β
"Ground pot chicken?" Ding Xiaotian didn't hear this dish, so she came to check it out at home, it turned out to be a local specialty, and Mrs. Ding Xiao suddenly had more points to look forward to.
Seeing Ding Xiaotian unabashedly revealing his appearance as a foodie in front of him, Nie Yuanchen's face softened, and it was not in vain that he went to ask Xu Rui.
When he arrived at the predetermined location, after Nie Yuanchen ordered the special pot chicken, he handed the menu to Ding Xiaotian, and Ding Xiaotian unceremoniously ordered a lot of things he liked to eat.
Nie Yuanchen returned the menu to Ding Xiaotian and stared at Ding Xiaotian, "What's going on today?" β
It turned out that Nie Yuanchen had already noticed Ding Xiaotian's strangeness today, but he didn't say it.
"......" Ding Xiaotian was entangled in her heart, and squirmed her lips a few times.
Nie Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyelashes, "I hope that if there is a problem between us, you can tell me directly, instead of letting me guess, I am not a god, I can guess anything, I am just an ordinary person." If there is something that must be communicated, if you don't say it, who knows what you're thinking, where I'm wrong you tell me. The voice was flat and slightly undulating.
Ding Xiaotian's heart was touched, "I saw you and Tao Xi'er coming over together this morning." β
"Oh." Nie Yuanchen paused, "I just saw her car broken down on the road, so I brought it over for her by the way." β
I see, it's all my own thoughts.
Ding Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Nie Yuanchen with some guilt, he had misunderstood him all morning because of this trivial matter.
In order to make up for Nie Yuanchen, Ding Xiaotian swept away the previous decadence and became active to find topics, most of them were Ding Xiaotian, and Nie Yuanchen on the other side looked at Ding Xiaotian with gentle eyes and listened patiently.
"That's right." Ding Xiaotian suddenly remembered something, "I went to my grandfather's house yesterday and heard from them, do they have any cooperation cases with you?" β
"Cooperation?" Nie Yuanchen asked.
"That's right." Although Ding Xiaotian didn't hear the specifics clearly, Ding Xiaotian was sure that she didn't hear these words correctly.
"What's your grandfather's last name?"
Recently, Nie's family has a cooperation case, but something went wrong halfway, and the partner Nie Yuanchen has also seen it, it is a boss surnamed Liu, his parents have passed away, and there is no old man in the family, so what happened to Ding Xiaotian's grandfather?
