Chapter 41: I'm not interested in dating
Li Chenghao saw the smile on Yao Zhiyue's face paused, and then a faint panic appeared. He followed her gaze, but saw that Chen Yiming was opening the door of the passenger seat, and then a pair of beautiful legs wearing delicate and dazzling high heels stepped out of the car elegantly, it was Zhang Ruoyi.
Li Chenghao looked at them leisurely, not feeling too surprised, and smiled at Yao Zhiyue warmly: "It seems that this restaurant is quite popular." β
Before the words fell, Chen Yiming and Zhang Ruoyi walked over side by side. When they saw Li Chenghao and Yao Zhiyue, both of them were a little stunned.
Chen Yiming's gaze fell straight on Yao Zhiyue, and he nodded to her lightly, the expression on his face was so light that he couldn't see any clues, and even his gaze was unwavering.
Zhang Ruoyi's gaze quickly circled back and forth between Yao Zhiyue and Li Chenghao, as if he was meeting Yao Zhiyue for the first time, with a strong sense of inquiry in his eyes. Immediately, looking at Li Chenghao, Wan Er smiled, and said slowly: "Brother Chenghao, what a coincidence, you are also here." β
Listening to Zhang Ruoyi's imperceptible emphasis on the two of you, Li Chenghao disagreed, with a moist smile in his peach blossom eyes, and said lightly: "It's a bit unfortunate, we have to leave now." β
Chen Yiming didn't say a word from beginning to end, Yao Zhiyue sneered at him, only feeling very embarrassed. Immediately, I thought that I hadn't done anything unseemly, why should I be scared?
Her expression gradually became calmer, and she tried to make her voice as natural as possible, and said with a smile: "Then let's go first." β
Chen Yiming and Zhang Ruoyi stepped up the steps of the restaurant, Zhang Ruoyi suddenly grabbed Chen Yiming's arm, with a hint of shyness in his tone, and whispered playfully: "I don't want to fall on all fours in front of the public, this is not the red carpet in Cannes." β
Yao Zhiyue looked at Chen Yiming and Zhang Ruoyi's intimate behavior, and a faint sense of relief welled up in her heart. It's as if I was supposed to have a picnic today, but yesterday I knew that it would be a heavy rainy day, so I could predict the loss of the outcome of this small thing.
Li Chenghao glanced at their backs, his eyes fell on Yao Zhiyue again, his tone was considerate, and his voice was soft, "I'm sorry, did I cause you unnecessary trouble?" β
Yao Zhiyue shook her head, and when she looked at Li Chenghao's gentle and affectionate gaze, her heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and she responded in a panic: "No, I was supposed to have a treat, but I didn't expect you to break the bank again." β
"It's going to be a long time coming."
"Then I said that next time I have a treat, if you grab the order with me again, I will transfer it to you directly."
Li Chenghao smiled elegantly, "I'll send you back." β
Yao Zhiyue spread out the car key in her palm and responded generously: "No, I drove here by myself." β
Li Chenghao was not reluctant, and he didn't speak anymore, but looked at Yao Zhiyue silently with a warm smile in his peach blossom eyes. Yao Zhiyue lowered her head in shame, only feeling that this situation made her can't help but think of the old Korean drama "Paris Lovers".
Yao Zhiyue woke up and said in a little panic: "Then, I'll go first." You drive slower. β
Li Chenghao nodded and reminded: "Tell me when you get home." β
He stood where he was, watching Yao Zhiyue get into the car and then drive away before walking to his car.
Zhang Ruoyi sat by the window, took in all this, turned his eyes to look at Chen Yiming, smiled, and said softly: "Brother Chenghao is still such a gentleman, and he implements the British gentleman's demeanor meticulously." β
Chen Yiming disagreed, handed her the menu, looked calm, and said in a calm tone: "What do you want to eat?" β
"I just returned to China not long ago, and I'm not familiar with the restaurants around, so you can help me order."
Chen Yiming nodded, ordered a few dishes that should meet Zhang Ruoyi's taste from memory, handed the menu to the waiter, picked up the red wine that had been poured, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the press conference." β
Zhang Ruoyi raised the goblet and touched it gently, tilted his head slightly, squinted at Chen Yiming, and under the shroud of the restaurant lights, he became more and more coquettish, and said softly: "I'd rather listen to you, this is for me to catch the dust, than to invite me to dinner because of gratitude." β
Chen Yiming took a sip of red wine, a faint smile appeared on his calm face, and asked lazily, "Is there any difference?" β
Zhang Ruoyi's spirit was bright, and she said softly: "Of course." The difference is that the former shows that there is no change between us, and the latter is too distant. β
The gloom in Chen Yiming's eyes flashed, and there was no excessive expression on his face, just silently continued to sip, and his eyes slowly looked at the bustling street scene outside the window.
Yao Zhiyue returned to the villa and sat alone on the sofa in the living room, Li Chenghao's words always echoed in her ears. She shook her head vigorously, and said to herself a little impetuously: "Yao Zhiyue, you think too much, it's impossible." β
She picked up her bag and walked back to her room, turned on the light, and was greeted by the exquisite and luxurious dΓ©cor. However, one guest room has a separate bathroom, a small balcony of three or four square meters, and a handle wardrobe embedded in the wall, which can throw off the single apartment she rented ten streets away.
Yao Zhiyue sat on the bed in frustration. , it's all illusory. She's just a picture that was deducted and forcibly pasted under the background board of the drunken gold fan.
After she made up her mind to complete Chen Yiming's commission and moved out, Yao Zhiyue's heaviness and depression finally eased. She got up and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower.
When she finished washing up and was about to go to bed, the sound of the car coming from far and near, she knew that it was Chen Yiming who had returned.
Yao Zhiyue hurriedly turned off the light and lay on the bed. Holding his breath.
Chen Yiming parked the car in the garage, saw the lights in Yao Zhiyue's room suddenly go out, his heart was slightly stunned, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he strode towards the living room.
He walked into the living room, his eyes fell on the closed door, he took off his blazer, threw it on the sofa, and sat down. He unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, leaned back in the sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Yiming stood up from the sofa like a spring, strode to the door of Yao Zhiyue's room, and knocked on the door twice.
Yao Zhiyue's whole body tensed, hesitating to open the door. At this time, Chen Yiming's deep and mellow voice said indifferently: "I know you haven't slept yet." β
Yao Zhiyue sighed softly as if defeated, got up and opened the door, but saw Chen Yiming's gloomy handsome face in her eyes, and a faint aroma of wine entered her nose.
Yao Zhiyue was a little frightened, frowned slightly, lowered her head and whispered, "Is there something wrong?" β
Chen Yiming leaned against the wall, hugged his shoulders and looked at Yao Zhiyue, with a restrained edge in his eyes, which made Yao Zhiyue feel like a mang on his back. But seeing a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he asked tepidly, "How about a date at night?" β
Yao Zhiyue raised her eyes to look at Chen Yiming, his expression contained a hint of banter and provocation, she was angry in her heart, suppressed her unhappiness, and quickly responded: "You misunderstood, Mr. Li and I are not dating." β
Chen Yiming sneered, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his tone, "I'm not interested in dating, just don't delay my business." β
Yao Zhiyue frowned, looked directly at Chen Yiming's gaze, and spoke clearly and powerfully, "I've been to that neighborhood today, I'm not sure if Kang Rou lives there, but it's indeed a woman who lives in that house." Also, she has been gone for a few days, but her phone is left in the apartment. β
Chen Yiming was a little stunned, speechless for a while, and embarrassment rose to his eyebrows. When he saw Yao Zhiyue and Li Chenghao walking out of the restaurant talking and laughing, I don't know why he felt unhappy.
Yao Zhiyue took a deep breath, her face was not very good-looking, and she said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing." Anything else? If it's okay, I'll go to bed first. β
The door was slammed shut, Chen Yiming's brows were furrowed, and a cloud of anger loomed in his eyes. Yao Zhiyue's meaning embarrassed him, as if she was a capitalist exploiter, demanding that she must revolve around his needs.
He clenched his fists, quickly extinguished the anger in his heart, returned to his normal color, and turned to walk towards the second floor.
Hearing Chen Yiming's footsteps disappear in the corridor, Yao Zhiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her chest rose and fell violently, and her hands trembled slightly, not knowing whether she was afraid or angry.
What does he mean? Do you think she is bent on hooking up with Li Chenghao and wants to cheat on his commission and deny it? In his eyes, is she so fond of vain money worshippers? It's true that she loves money, but she at least knows what it means to be a gentleman who loves money in a good way!
Yao Zhiyue was lying on the bed, and Chen Yiming's restrained and angry face kept coming to mind. She draped the pillow over her face, kicked her legs the bed, and let out a low scream of breath.
She decided to look for the house tomorrow when she had time and move out of here as soon as possible. Thinking like this, my emotions gradually calmed down, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
And Chen Yiming, who was upstairs, tossed and turned, recalling Yao Zhiyue's smile at Li Chenghao, as if she had never smiled at him that much.
If it weren't for seeing her smile at Li Chenghao, he would only think that Yao Zhiyue was just a little more restrained when she got along with him, or maybe because they weren't so familiar with each other, so she was a little afraid of him.
However, that woman has clearly spent more time with him than Li Chenghao, and she has only met Li Chenghao once, so she can talk and laugh so unscrupulously, it's just ...... Outrageous!
Yao Zhiyue was already asleep, but Chen Yiming couldn't sleep all night, he was a little surprised, why was he so excited? It can't be him.
