Inside a laid-back and quiet restaurant.

Zhou Yue and Zhou Lei sat together.

On the opposite side is Jiang Mingchen.

Zhou Lei was still a child, so Zhou Yue ordered him a cup of juice, and Jiang Mingchen had a cup of coffee in front of him.

It's just that he obviously doesn't care about enjoying the taste of the coffee now, but frequently looks at the child in front of him.

Zhou Yue looked at Jiang Mingchen's nervous appearance, as if it was the first time she knew this man.

She hadn't seen him so nervous, at least before.

Zhou Yue imagined what it would be like for them to meet, but she didn't expect it to be so silent and awkward.

She stood up, and the eyes of one big and one small noticed that this moment unexpectedly fell on her.

She touched the child's head and said to him softly, "Mom, go to the bathroom, you wait here for me, I'll be back soon." ”

Zhou Lei nodded obediently.

There are apple pies and other snacks that children love to eat on the table, Zhou Lei obediently ate the cake on the table after Zhou Yue left, this cake is sweet, and the most important thing is that it is not too sweet, it is a very good snack for him.

He ate the snack in front of him with a calm expression, as if the man in front of him did not exist.

Jiang Mingchen picked up the cup several times and put it down, but the coffee in the cup still didn't move.

There were even a few times when he was almost burned, but he didn't want to startle the child opposite, so he could only force himself to shake his hand.

An Xia glanced forward a few times, and suddenly someone behind her patted her on the shoulder.

She turned around, and Zhou Yue didn't know when she appeared behind her.

"Why are you so elusive?" Ansha grumbled.

Zhou Yue sighed: "The elusive person is you, when did you come here?" ”

"I said I was a coincidence, do you believe me?" An Xia immediately clarified her position, she didn't want to be regarded as a stalker by Zhou Yue, in fact, it was indeed because the people from the company were here for lunch, so An Xia appeared here.

Zhou Yue also glanced in other directions.

Ansha tugged at her sleeve: "What are you looking for?" ”

"I'll see if Yuchen is nearby." After all, these two people are notoriously inseparable, if An Xia is here, Yu Chen must be not far away.

An Xia rolled her eyes: "He is still working overtime in the company now, how can he appear here." Don't look at it. ”

Zhou Yue sighed and sat down a little disappointed.

An Xia glanced at Zhou Lei again: "What about you, why did you come over?" Is it okay to let them get along like this? ”

Zhou Yue's eyes drifted over there: "As long as I am here, they will definitely not be able to talk well, so I have to find an excuse, but it seems that even if I am not there, the father and son still don't get along well." ”

An Xia glanced at the two people who were speechless and nodded.

Jiang Mingchen was a little nervous, facing the child he met for the first time officially, it was inevitable that there would be nervous times, in fact, this was not the first time he had seen Zhou Lei, when he was in school or earlier, and he didn't know how many photos of Zhou Lei were on the table, what he did every day and even sometimes someone would report it.

But when it came time to meet him officially, he became nervous.

Because it was the first time he had spoken to his son.

He thought left and right, and could only rack his brains to find a topic.

"Do you like apple pie?"

Zhou Lei glanced at him: "I don't like it." ”

"Then why have you been eating since just now?" Jiang Mingchen was very suspicious, if you don't like it, why do you have to eat it all the time?

"Of course, because I don't want to waste it, and the food doesn't taste bad." Zhou Lei explained that in fact, apple pie is sweet and sour, and it is a good pastry for him.

After Jiang Mingchen took the initiative to speak, it seemed to break this silence and silence, and Zhou Lei looked at him with a little curiosity: "Are you my father?" ”

Jiang Mingchen forcibly concealed the excitement in his heart: "Yes, although we have never met before, but I am your father, you are my son, if you want, you can inherit all my property, as long as you go back with me, do you want to go back with me?" ”

Zhou Lei shook his head without thinking about it: "I don't want to." ”

"Why? Is there anything about my father that displeased you? ”

Jiang Mingchen couldn't believe it, but now he felt very normal, from the first time he saw his father, he was calm and terrifying, as if he was not seeing his father, just a stranger, just to satisfy his curiosity.

"No, you don't displease me." Before Jiang Mingchen could put his mind at ease, he said again, "Because we are just strangers, I only met you because you are my father, and I really want to see what my father is like." However, the person in front of him was clearly very disappointed in him.

At this moment, his thoughts turned out to be relieved, in this case, he thought that it would be better to let Uncle Xia be his father.

Jiang Mingchen frowned: "Why, you haven't had a father for so many years, and now that you see me, that is, your father is stumped, don't you feel a little moved?" Feelings can be cultivated, you are my son, you should be with me. ”

"I'm just your son, but I've never been your property." Zhou Lei calmly didn't want to have a child at all, but looked a little calmer than Jiang Mingchen on the other side, in such a comparison, in the eyes of others, it seemed that Jiang Mingchen had fallen behind.

An Xia watched from a distance and frowned: "Why does Jiang Mingchen look so excited, he won't do it." ”

Zhou Yue said coldly: "He doesn't dare to do anything in public, if he really dares to do it, don't think about seeing Zhou Lei in the future, I won't let him have any chance to see Zhou Lei again, and will make him pay the price he deserves." ”

Just looking at it from a distance, Jiang Mingchen's emotions became more and more excited, and Zhou Yue couldn't help but step forward.

"What do you want to do?"

When he was about to lose his mind, Zhou Yue stood in front of Zhou Lei, looking at Jiang Mingchen vigilantly, Jiang Mingchen's body stiffened, and he immediately understood that he had completely fallen behind from just now, and he had now lost Zhou Yue's trust, which meant that the idea he had thought of slowly cultivating a relationship with his child had died so abruptly.

Zhou Yue is angry and vigilant, protecting her children in all directions.

And Zhou Lei, who was behind Zhou Yue, slowly finished eating the last bit of cake and stood up, and took the initiative to hold Zhou Yue's hand: "Mom, why did you go to the bathroom for so long, the juice here is so unpleasant, let's go back." ”

Zhou Yue looked at Zhou Lei holding his hand in a little surprise, and after he finished speaking, his stunned thoughts were pulled back, and he could only nod.

Then he glanced at Jiang Mingchen warningly.

An Xia retracted his gaze, continued to drink his milk tea with a straw, and sighed, no wonder Jiang Mingchen couldn't see Zhou Lei for so long, he was not even as good as a child, and he didn't even know what he should do, and he directly touched the bottom line of a child from the beginning.

In other words, no one would want this kind of father.

There is no self in front of him, he just treats himself as a tool, these should have been thought of when Zhou Lei met him, after all, the child's mind is the most sensitive.

When it was time to get off work, An Xia sneaked to Yuchen's office.

Yu Chen had already looked up in the direction of the door before she could open it.

As soon as Anxia pushed the door in, she found that her eyes fell on her body and she couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.

"How do you know it's me every time?" And every time she looks at herself with this kind of gentle gaze, what if she changes to someone else, she feels a little unhappy when she thinks that Yu Chen will also look at others with such gentle eyes.

Yu Chen chuckled: "Your footsteps are very special, so I can hear them every time, and of course I won't pay more attention to other people." ”

An Xia was satisfied, and came to Yu Chen's side with a smile.

"Is everything done? Don't forget that we made an appointment with Professor Gu today, and you also know that it is difficult for him to make an appointment, and if it is not a very important matter, it will not be possible. She walked over with her hands behind her back.

Yu Chen nodded, and as he spoke, he pulled his folder: "It's almost all dealt with, now pack up your things." ”

During this time, they didn't have much time to meet Gu Yiqing, and the number of times they were able to see him was even less, mainly because Gu Yiqing was afraid of outsiders.

This time it was because the previous data needed to be shown to him, and by the way, he wanted to see Yu Chen's state with his own eyes.

That's why there is this meeting.

Of course, the place of meeting remains the same, it is still a secluded and quiet place, but in addition, it is necessary to have a very quiet environment, not too noisy.

It was already difficult for Gu Yiqing to come out of the snail shell, so basically as long as he didn't ask too much, Yu Chen could meet it.

Yuchen and An Xia are in the elevator.

An Xia Yuguang saw that there seemed to be something on Yuchen's neckline, and after looking carefully, Yuchen's height was a little high, so she had to let Yuchen's head lower a little.

Yu Chen: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's something on your neckline."

She grabbed his neckline with both hands, and Yuchen lowered her head, An Xia carefully checked the stains on it, it looked like a small black insect, but it wouldn't move if she looked closely, she rubbed it with her thumb, and wanted to see it more clearly, who knew that at this time, the elevator door suddenly opened.

The person who pressed the elevator was dumbfounded.

Looking at it from the outside angle, it was An Xia who pulled Yuchen's collar strongly, and the two bowed their heads to kiss.

An Xia and Yu Chen turned their heads to look over, and the man closed the elevator door again: "Excuse me." ”

Anxia: "......"

"Was it Jack from the design department who opened the elevator door just now?"

Yu Chen didn't remember very clearly: "It should be, what's wrong?" ”
