From being shy at the beginning, to gradually becoming serious, Ning Xi almost forgot to sleep and eat after entering the state.

When she finished sketching and put down the brush, a ray of sunset shone on her face, looking sparkling and moving.

"It's finally done." Ning Xi raised his head and said to Gu Tingjun, who had been maintaining the same posture, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Gu Tingjun didn't complain at all, he walked to the side and picked up his clothes and put them on.

walked to Ning Xi's side, looked at the painting, bowed slightly, and his expression seemed to say, it's not bad, it has lived up to my efforts this afternoon.

"Clean up, let's go eat."

Gu Tingjun, who hadn't eaten lunch, was already hungry, but seeing that Ning Xi's painting was serious, he didn't make a sound to disturb.

When Gu Tingjun said this, Ning Xi also suddenly felt uncomfortable with an empty stomach.

"To thank you for being my model, I invited you tonight."

Ning Xi said proudly.

As Gu Tingjun, he actually stripped naked to paint for her, which really moved Ning Xi a little.

Gu Tingjun did not shirk and took Ning Xi to a nearby Western restaurant.

Soft lighting, soothing music, couples grinding their ears and temples, the tenderness and honey in the air cannot be dissolved.

Such a romantic atmosphere made Ning Xi stop at the door.

This is a couple's restaurant, is it appropriate for the two of them to go in?

Just when Ning Xi hesitated, Gu Tingjun had already stepped into the door, and Ning Xi had to follow.

They picked a seat near the corner and sat down, and a waiter brought water and a menu in front of them.

Looking at the silent man opposite, even looking through the menu with elegance, Ning Xi looked around, always feeling a little uncomfortable.

Leaning forward, she could deliberately lower her voice: "Boss, do you feel ......?"

"Nope."

Gu Tingjun looked at the menu intently and choked Ning Xi's words back.

Speechlessly, Ning Xi didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing: "Do you feel ......?"

"Yes."

Ning Xi hated itchy: "Can you be more perfunctory with this?" Forget it, I think we're at the wrong restaurant. ”

"Is it written here that we can't come?" Gu Tingjun raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, his eyes flashed with a color that no one could understand, and he retorted lightly, and then looked at the waiter: "This, this, and this." ”

Seeing that Gu Tingjun not only didn't take care of himself, but also started ordering food directly, Ning Xi had no choice but to accept his fate.

Anyway, it's just a meal, and no one knows her here, besides, Gu Tingjun is not afraid of being misunderstood, she is afraid of a ghost!

Flipping through the recipe, Ning Xi randomly picked two favorite dishes: "Another cup of coffee." ”

"No way!" Gu Tingjun frowned: "I still drink coffee at this time, and I don't want to sleep at night?" ”

Reprimanded the ignorant little things, Gu Tingjun ordered a glass of champagne and a glass of mango milk.

Needless to say, the champagne was for him, and the mango milk was naturally for Ning Xi.

Ning Xi looked at the ambiguous smile that the waiter was holding back when he was leaving.

Soon, the dishes were ready, and Ning Xi, who had been hungry for a day, was about to start when she saw someone walking in this direction.

The person who came was a man and a woman, the two of them held arms, very intimate, and looked like a couple or husband and wife.

Walking in front of them, the man smiled at Ning Xi, and then looked at Gu Tingjun.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

"It turned out to be Noah, long time no see."

Gu Tingjun was a little surprised, but he still got up and shook his hand.

"My dear, this Gu is always a very important partner for me. Mr. Gu, this is my lover Linda. ”

Gu Tingjun bowed slightly: "Mrs. Linda, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Oh, Mr. Gu, this young man should be your younger brother." Noah greeted Ning Xi very warmly: "Mr. Gu, I just knew that you were rich and elegant, but I didn't expect my brother to be fresh and handsome." ”

These adjectives, whether Noah uses Chinese or idioms, seem to have a study of Chinese culture, which surprised Ning Xi.

Being mistaken for Gu Tingjun's younger brother and complimenting himself, Ning Xi was a little awkward, and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Gu Tingjun.

"Xiaoxi, come next to me. Noah, if you don't mind, let's sit together. ”

Gu Tingjun knew that this Noah liked Chinese culture very much on weekdays, and there was no surprise.

However, the wording of his praise for Ning Xi still made him very useful.

Noah also wished he could eat with Gu Tingjun, and said repeatedly: "This is my honor." ”

Gu Tingjun moved Ning Xi's dinner plates into himself, and thoughtfully helped her arrange all the napkins, such a considerate gesture made Noah realize something.

If he can make this little boy happy today, there should be no problem with him renewing his contract with Gu Tingjun.

After taking a seat, Noah's topic began to revolve around Ning Xi, and when he learned that Ning Xi was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, all kinds of praises began to gush endlessly.

Ning Xi's face turned red when she heard this, and she was even a little embarrassed.

Noah had been observing Gu Tingjun's expression, and seeing that he had been looking at Ning Xi with a smile in his eyes, he knew that he had made the right move.

Under Noah's dedication to flatter, the atmosphere of this meal was very good, and at the end of the day, Noah took out a small box from his bag and pushed it down in front of Ning Xi.

"Mr. Ning, this new business watch launched by our company is a gift for you."

Ning Xi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, this is too precious and inappropriate." ”

Just now they had a direct conversation, and she listened to it, and this watch has to be more than 100,000 at worst.

No merit!

How could anyone give such an expensive gift when they met for the first time, Ning Xi really had no reason to accept it.

"It's just my own company's stuff, and it's not valuable. Mr. Gu also knows that this watch will be promoted in the Chinese market after a while. Noah insisted on letting Ning Xi accept it.

Ning Xi, who couldn't refuse, could only look at Gu Tingjun, hoping that Gu Tingjun could help her refuse.

Gu Tingjun received Ning Xi's signal for help, picked up the box and put it in her hand: "Take it." Thank you, Mr. Noah, and welcome to Haicheng with your wife, I am always waiting for you. ”

Noah instantly became elated, although Gu Tingjun did not give him a clear answer, but the meaning of this sentence was to agree to continue to cooperate with him.

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Gu really loves you very much, I have never seen him take care of other people so considerately, it is really a blessing to have this brother."

After a sigh, Noah left with his wife.

Ning Xi was still holding the watch box stupidly, with a somewhat dreamlike unreality.

This watch, worth more than 100,000 yuan, is the most expensive gift she has ever received.
