Chapter 156: I've Never Liked You
Xu Jiaman was unconsciously affected by his emotions, and also sighed.
"Don't be completely hopeless, when I retire, I'll go back to building our small breakdown division." He Hua patted his chest and raised his eyebrows.
Xu Jiaman was amused by his funny appearance, and she gave a thumbs up: "Aspiring." ”
On the other side, Han Chenmo and Xia Yuru were also sitting in the private restaurant, Xia Yuru flipped through the recipes and helped Han Chenmo order his favorite dishes.
Han Chenmo's mind was not on eating, he felt that there were some things that had to be made clear to Xia Yuru, he didn't like to drag mud and water.
"Xia Yuru, I didn't ask you to come here today just for dinner, you know?" Han Chenmo considered his words, he didn't want to hurt Xia Yuru as much as possible.
"I know, you said you had something important to say, but I don't think anything will matter more than me having dinner with you." Xia Yuru said with a light smile.
Han Chenmo looked at the smile on the corner of her mouth and sighed helplessly.
"That's all, remember less oil and less salt." Xia Yuru handed the recipe to the waiter, and looked at Han Chenmo with affection in her chin.
It's been a long time since they've come out to eat like this, and what's more important is that Han Chenmo hasn't taken the initiative to ask her out for a long time, and I don't know if Han Chenmo likes her dress today.
"Mo, why are you so serious? It seems to be very reluctant to eat with me. Xia Yuru asked deliberately.
Han Chenmo replied lightly: "No." His gaze glanced out of the door from time to time, avoiding making eye contact with Xia Yuru.
Xia Yuru got up and sat down next to him, and said coquettishly: "But you don't even look at me, I deliberately dressed up for today's date, take a look." ”
Han Chenmo had no choice but to glance at her, and nodded perfunctorily: "It's beautiful." ”
"You're very perfunctory." Xia Yuru puffed out her mouth and complained.
Han Chenmo could only bite the bullet and chat with Xia Yuru: "Is your mascara waterproof?" ”
"Of course, why do you ask?" Xia Yuru asked inexplicably.
"I'm just curious, if the makeup will cry." Han Chenmo said in a deep voice.
Xia Yuru replied funny: "Crying will definitely wear makeup, but why do you want me to cry?" You want to bully me? ”
This question carried an ambiguous aura in Xia Yuru's mouth, so that Han Chenmo could not answer, nor did he not answer.
Fortunately, the waiter served the food, and Han Chenmo said, "Didn't you just say that you were hungry?" It's time to eat. ”
Xia Yuru didn't rush to ask Han Chenmo, she knew his character very well, and it was enough to stop at the point.
Han Chenmo didn't even pick up the chopsticks, he took a deep breath and said to Xia Yuru: "Actually, I want to talk to you today about the matter between the two of us. ”
Xia Yuru smiled shyly, could it be that Han Chenmo finally figured it out and planned to talk about marriage with her?
"If there is anything to talk about between the two of us, it's up to you to arrange." Xia Yuru gave Han Chenmo a wink.
Han Chenmo twisted his thumb and said in a deep voice: "Actually, we have known each other for so many years, I am more accustomed to the identity of friends between us, and many of our ideas are different. ”
"Because our personalities are complementary, it's just right." Xia Yuru had already heard the signs that something was wrong as soon as Han Chenmo opened her mouth, but she couldn't let Han Chenmo continue to talk about this issue.
"It's not complementary, it's two attitudes that are completely incompatible, and you know I can't compromise with them." Han Chenmo said in a cold voice.
Xia Yuru lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice: "But they are your parents after all, of course you can fight against your parents, they will unconditionally tolerate your willfulness, but what should you let me do?" Is it on the same side as you to go against your parents? ”
She is an outsider, how can she choose?
Han Chenmo took a deep breath and said: "The key point of this matter is not here, the focus is on the two of us, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Xia Yuru clenched the tableware in her hand, and said with a smile so as not to be embarrassed: "I know, it's nothing more than that you don't like me, so everything I do is wrong, and it's useless in your eyes." ”
Han Chenmo looked at Xia Yuru, this sentence was indeed cruel to her, but it was a fact.
If he really loved her, felt sorry for her, and understood her, how could he let Ren Xin let Xia Yuru be caught between him and his parents?
Although Xia Yuru has done well enough in it, it not only satisfies the Han family's parents, but also allows Han Chenmo to freely complete his career and dreams.
"I'm grateful for what you've done for me, but I really can't give you love." Han Chenmo replied frankly.
Xia Yuru took a deep breath, this day still came after all, no matter how carefully she tried to protect the person in her heart, that person still did not hesitate to insert a knife in her heart.
A smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Han Chenmo and asked pretending to be relaxed: "You should have kept these words in your heart for a long time, why did you only remember to talk to me today?" Is it because you have a girl you like? ”
"Hmm." Han Chenmo replied frankly, he didn't want to hide this question, he wanted to like Xu Jiaman openly.
"Does she like you? Like you like me so much? Xia Yuru's eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips were hooked with a smile that seemed to be mocking.
"I don't know, but I'll make her fall in love with me, as much as I love her." Han Chenmo replied confidently.
Xia Yuru's fists clenched tighter, and her nails pierced deep into her palms, but this pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart at the moment.
"Congratulations, it's rare to meet a girl who can make you feel tempted, she must be very special." Xia Yuru still looks gentle.
"Thank you." Han Chenmo thought that Xia Yuru would cry or simply turn his face and run to his parents to accuse him, but he didn't expect Xia Yuru to be thorough at all, and he didn't plan to continue to entangle with him.
That's right, everyone's youth is limited, Xia Yuru shouldn't have much patience to spend on him, and if he throws away the aura of the Han family, he is just an ordinary company boss.
Xia Yuru smiled and said, "I will find a chance to talk to Uncle Han about the marriage contract, at least we will still be friends in the future, right?" ”
"Of course." Han Chenmo replied with great certainty, although he had already prepared for Xia Yuru to break off with him, it was better to continue to be friends.
Xia Yuru felt that she had never been so humble in her twenty-seven years of life, she was bluntly disgusted by Han Chenmo, and the first thing she worried about was not her face, but whether she could continue to be by his side as a friend.
She didn't even have the courage to test who Han Chenmo liked now.
"It seems that you are going to invite you to this meal today, but I am very sad now, and I have to eat a lot of delicious food to make up for it." Xia Yuru said her true words in a joking tone.
Han Chenmo nodded: "No problem, you can order whatever you want." ”
Xia Yuru took a mouthful of roasted beef and stuffed it into her mouth, trying to keep herself calm, she didn't want Han Chenmo to think that she was a girl who liked to cry.
"Mo, after all these years, haven't you been a little tempted by me?" Xia Yuru asked unwillingly.
Twenty-seven years, they have known each other for so long, hasn't she moved Han Chenmo for a second? Xia Yuru unconsciously began to worry about such unimportant things.
"I've tried, but I really can't work hard if I like this kind of thing, I really never liked you." Although he was sorry for his rudeness, Han Chenmo still told Xia Yuru the true and cruel truth.
He knew Xia Yuru too well, her careful thoughts couldn't be hidden in front of him at all, since he chose to refuse, he should let her die completely.
Xia Yuru raised her head and stretched out her hand to fan the wind: "Why is this pepper so spicy?" ”
There were tears in her eyes, but she could only blame the pepper for being too spicy.
"You should find a man who is good to you and doesn't make you cry." As an elder brother, Han Chenmo sincerely suggested.
"Come on, you didn't choose to be good to you with your heart and lungs, it's not convincing at all." Xia Yuru joked bitterly.
Han Chenmo was speechless for a moment, and only said after a while: "I hope you meet the right person as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, I will." Xia Yuru knew that she was speechless, raised her glass to him, and then continued to eat the dish in front of her.
Han Chenmo looked at her quietly, this should be the last time they would eat alone, so he shouldn't have left early.
"If you don't eat, just sitting here and looking at me will make me misunderstand that you are reluctant to give up on me." Xia Yuru said with a smile.
She looked at Han Chenmo and said in a brisk tone, "I know your mind is not here now, if you want to go to her, go to her." ”
Xia Yuru just wanted to be polite briefly, but she didn't expect Han Chenmo to really get up.
"I know I'm here, and I'm going to make you uncomfortable, so I'll go first." Han Chenmo patted Xia Yuru on the shoulder and walked out of the box directly.
Xia Yuru felt like a bucket of ice water poured from head to toe, and even her internal organs were cold.
Her tears poured out like they were out of control, and today's humiliation was all due to that woman.
"What's so great about Han Chenmo liking you? There is absolutely no way he can be with you, even if he doesn't love me, I want him. Xia Yuru's eyes suddenly became fierce.
With the Han family and the Xia family as backers, Han Chenmo's wife can only be her, and it will never be someone else!
Han Chenmo drove back to the restaurant where Xu Jiaman was just now, the place where she and He Hua were sitting just now was empty, and the two of them were obviously no longer in the restaurant.
He sighed lightly, originally he was just coming back to try his luck, and it was reasonable that he didn't meet him.
"Knock knock." There was a crisp knock on the window.
Han Chenmo lowered the window of the car and looked at the people standing next to the car, and was a little surprised.
"What a coincidence, are you here to eat too?" Xu Jiaman asked.
"Just passing by." Han Chenmo pretended to be calm and replied.
Xu Jiaman glanced unnaturally at the trees in the green belt, she and He Hua were about to go out to eat, but they didn't expect to see Han Chenmo's car going and returning.
He Hua immediately encouraged her to come and talk to Han Chenmo, but what should she say?
"What are you looking at?" Han Chenmo frowned and asked, and was about to follow her gaze, but he didn't expect Xu Jiaman to directly block his sight with an arrow step.
"Nothing." Xu Jiaman replied with a smile on his face.
Han Chenmo glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Get in the car if you're fine, I'll send you back." ”
"Uh, what's this......" Xu Jiaman turned his head and glanced at He Hua worriedly, it wasn't good to leave him like this.
Unexpectedly, He Hua waved his hand directly at her, urging her to get into the car quickly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, Xu Jiaman obviously liked Han Chenmo so much, why did he look like he was retreating.
If he sees someone he likes, he has to rush up and get rid of the other party without saying a word.
Xu Jiaman seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and said, "Okay, you can send me back." ”
