Chapter 69: Give a Tie as a Gift
In the end, we chose a store that was not very popular, but even so, and we went half an hour earlier than the normal end time, it was already overcrowded.
Fortunately, Qiao Nancheng had already booked a seat on the way here, and we were about to have a place when we arrived.
"Look, it's really careful." Lin Yuan quietly pulled me and said this without giving up.
My face instantly pulled down, "Don't talk nonsense about you. β
Lin Yuan nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I know." β
Because the atmosphere was very good, I deliberately found some wine to drink. The three of them pushed the cups and changed the glasses, but they didn't drink too much, and I was very happy to keep them in a slightly drunk state.
"You know, Qiao Nancheng, I treat you as my good friend, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best friend of the opposite sex." I said this in my heart, except for Qiao Nancheng, there has never been a boy who has taken care of me so intimately.
Shen Yu took care of me because I was his half-sister, and Ye Yao took care of me just for Lu Yan's sake, and Lu Yan himself didn't take care of me at all. The emergence of Qiao Nancheng has made up for this lack to a large extent.
After saying this, I drank it all with my glass in hand, in order to express my emotions.
Qiao Nancheng was also very moved, and there was a rare humble smile on his usually serious face, "Ruolin, don't say that, after all, it was me who had a car accident, and I said that I would always take care of you." β
Lin Yuan and I glanced at each other.
"Okay, don't talk about those unhappy things, now for the friendship of the three of us, cheers." Lin Yuan raised his wine glass and said with great interest.
I saw something else flashing across Qiao Nancheng's face, but it was quickly concealed, and I knew that they were very good at hiding their emotions, and I was happy not to see them.
Although we had to call a substitute driver when we got home that night, I knew that the meal was worth it.
Strange to say, although I saw Ye Yao in the cafΓ© downstairs that day, I remember clearly expressing my attitude that I would not be with Lu Yan.
Who knew that in the past few days, Lu Yan seemed to be mistaken about what I meant, and asked me to go to the Lu Group at every turn under the pretext of work, saying that it was work, but let me stay there all day and couldn't come out.
I also let me eat delicious food and drink, and I just make all kinds of excuses to stay there every day.
It's either that the machine is broken or that there are doubts about the contract, but I don't bother to bother with those careful thoughts.
A week passed, but I didn't even see Lu Yan in person.
"You don't have that, do you?" I was indignant in my heart, "No matter, you guys have something to find Manager Bai, I'm going to go out to get some air." "Ignoring people's obstructions, I broke out of the Lu Group directly.
The air outside is really good, but through this incident, I know even more that Lu Yan is just a cowardly villain, he doesn't even dare to apologize when he is sober, and he can only use such a childish way to imprison me and control me.
"Don't you want to play a game like this with me?" I turned around and glanced at the Lu Group behind me, "Okay, then I'll help you fulfill this wish." β
Although I didn't think to forgive him at all, his apology was insincere, and I just dared to apologize to me through alcohol, and for this reason, I looked down on him from the bottom of my heart.
Taking out my mobile phone, I found Qiao Nancheng's phone and dialed it without hesitation.
"What's the matter, Ruolin, I can't find you for several days." Although the voice on the other side of the phone was still steady, I was a little happy to hear it, and my heart warmed, knowing that there were still people thinking about me.
"It's okay, I'm just busy with the company's business." I paused in response.
"That's good, I asked Lin Yuan, she said that you are in a meeting, it is inconvenient to answer the phone, now it is good to know that you are fine." Qiao Nancheng said incoherently, and only remembered after a while, "By the way, what are you looking for me?" β
"What are you doing now, do you have time?"
"Something?" Qiao Nancheng subconsciously replied, "What else can I do, it's in the company." β
"Then come out for dinner now?" I took a look, and it was already time for lunch.
After asking my address, Qiao Nancheng asked me to wait for him here, saying that he would arrive in ten minutes.
But watching Qiao Nancheng's car slowly drive towards me, I remembered that although he has now become an officer, after all, it is not good for official personnel to always ask for leave.
"Inside, are you okay with your work?" With guilt in my heart, I asked cautiously after getting in the car.
At first, Qiao Nancheng didn't understand what I meant, but when he understood, he laughed directly.
"Little fool, nothing is important to you." Seeing that my face was not quite right, he changed his words, "You know, I have been promoted now, and time is much freer than before, otherwise I wouldn't be stupid, if something happened, I wouldn't have come out so easily." β
Seeing that I still didn't speak, Qiao Nancheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's really okay, you can rest assured." β
"What do you want to eat?"
When it comes to eating, all I have in mind is gone, I just think about what to eat.
Look at the road ahead: "Let's barbecue." β
"Okay, I know there's a barbecue that's pretty good, and the one in the south of the city ......."
"Forget it, it's still Japanese food, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Qiao Nancheng was still introducing the barbecue in Chengnan, I glanced down at my phone and changed my mind directly.
Qiao Nancheng sighed helplessly, "Okay, anyway, you are also the biggest, everything will listen to you." β
At my command, we stopped at a Japanese restaurant not far from the Lu's Group.
"Why is there a Japanese restaurant here?" I thought to myself, glancing at my phone, "yes, this is it." β
I quietly walked in with Qiao Nancheng and found a place by the window and sat down.
"What's going on, don't you like the corner position inside?" Although he said this, Qiao Nancheng still sat down with me, and when I glanced at him, he immediately knew what was going on, and laughed knowingly.
Sure enough, after a while, the door of the Japanese restaurant was opened again, and the clerk greeted him warmly.
"γγ―γγγγγγΎγ" is pure Japanese, just like when we first came in.
I looked up, and a gaze fell squarely at my side.
It just so happened that at this time, Qiao Nancheng picked up a piece of salmon and put it in my mouth: "Come, try this, the ingredients are indeed fresh." β
I smiled slightly, ignored the gaze, and ate with joy.
"Well, it's really good, it's about the same as what I ate in Japan before." The two of us commented on each other's tastes and nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, I knew that Lu Yan was back, or rather, I deliberately let people find out Lu Yan's whereabouts, and knew that he would come here for dinner with his customers at noon today, so I waited here with Qiao Nancheng in advance.
Lu Yan's face changed, and it wasn't until the clerk asked them again what they wanted to come to their senses, turned around and took the customer to the private room booked in advance.
"Why are you doing this?" Qiao Nancheng looked at Lu Yan's figure walking away, smiled and said.
I straightened my face, "Doesn't he just want me to see you, or he won't let me see other boys, I want to see you." β
Looking at Qiao Nancheng's expression, I thought about it, and it seemed that something was wrong, "No, I mean, even if you don't want to be with him, you can't get used to his style." β
What Qiao Nancheng was going to say was directly blocked by my joke. He didn't insist anymore.
Then I began to concentrate on the food in front of me, this Japanese restaurant is really good, if I have the opportunity, I must bring Lin Yuan over to try it.
Now I'm not afraid of danger. If I had done this before, I wouldn't have been able to eat it, but now I understand that it's better to fill my stomach than to do anything.
After eating, Qiao Nancheng went to check out very consciously, I burped comfortably, and pulled him to go to the mall.
Looking at Qiao Nancheng's nervous face, I couldn't help laughing, "Haha, you can't be shy, right?" I tapped him on the shoulder, "I know you boys don't like shopping for things like that, but you're going to be with me today." β
Without waiting for Qiao Nancheng to react, I stuffed him into the car.
"Could it be, it's not good for you." The car had already driven for most of the time, and Qiao Nancheng finally held back such a sentence.
I looked at Qiao Nancheng, whose face was flushed, and was almost suffocated from internal injuries, and finally relieved after laughing for a long time.
"That's right, if this spreads, you are still in the army, and the punishment of your boss will definitely not indulge you." I said it seriously.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Qiao Nancheng hurriedly shook his head and explained: "You know, I'm worried about you, I was concerned about the matter of Lu Yan Company before, but I'm fine, it's you now." β
"Whatever." I braked hard, unbuckled my seatbelt, and was already at my destination.
I naturally pulled Qiao Nancheng's arm, "Let's go, you have helped me so many times, why should I give you a gift." β
I have already thought about it on the way here, although Qiao Nancheng does not lack anything, but after all, he has helped me so much, so how can it be interesting. We went straight to the men's department and gestured with the sales lady.
"How's this tie?" I took a plaid tie and gestured at the neck of Qiao Nancheng.
"I'm helping you either because of this, or because I want to take care of you." Qiao Nancheng subconsciously stepped back and explained with a blushing face.
I nodded knowingly, "I don't mean anything else, I just want you to help me so much, how can I express it, don't worry, our pure friendship will not be affected because of this." β
I saw a flash of disappointment on Qiao Nancheng's face, but it quickly returned to normal.
