Chapter 202: Is Saturday Free?
Seeing Tang Lan away, Qiao Ruoqing paced back and forth in the office.
She wasn't used to sitting down immediately after eating, and would stand or walk for a while.
As you walk, think about something.
I always feel that Tang Lan's behavior today is a little weird! It's not like her usual appearance at all, and it's very easy to panic.
There must be some reason behind this.
So, what is it exactly?
Qiao Ruoqing thought about it for a while but didn't come up with it.
But fortunately, she knew that no matter what Tang Lan did, she wouldn't hurt her, so she didn't take this matter too seriously, so she continued to be busy with work.
In the afternoon, in addition to receiving various work messages, she also received the restaurant address from Tang Lan - after seeing Tang Lan using WeChat last time in the mall, Qiao Ruoqing added Tang Lan's WeChat, and it was indeed much easier to connect.
After getting off work, Qiao Ruoqing went to the restaurant according to the address sent by Tang Lan, but the person she saw in the restaurant was not Tang Lan at all.
It's Huo Jingyuan.
Although it was already the end of the New Year, the days were still short and the nights were long, so even though it was not yet seven o'clock, it was already dark.
The lights in the restaurant are not particularly bright, but rather warm and not dazzling.
Huo Jingyuan was sitting by the window in a black shirt, as if he was reading a book, his eyelids were slightly drooping, his hairstyle was as meticulous as ever, and the warm light hit his body, blurring a soft halo around him.
Qiao Ruoqing curled her lips when she saw it.
I thought it would be a few days before I saw him, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
Walking over and sitting down on the chair that the waiter had pulled out for her, Qiao Ruoqing asked directly, "Brother Huo, didn't you go with Uncle Huo to visit your friends?" Why are you here? β
Huo Jingyuan was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw the girl's familiar eyebrows.
It's her......
It's strange, didn't Tang Lan ask him over? also mysteriously said that he should dress better, go out to eat with her, and don't lose her face.
At that time, he still felt strange, when did he let Tang Lan lose face? Now see Qiao Ruoqing again......
Knowing his mother Mo Ruozi, Huo Jingyuan's mind turned slightly, and he quickly understood.
Didn't Tang Lan just say this morning that she was going to chase Qiao Ruoqing back? It seems that this meal was also deliberately created for them.
What else did he say about him and Huo Jiang going to visit friends...... Tsk, this excuse...... Are you afraid that Qiao Ruoqing won't want to come after knowing that he is here?
Huo Jingyuan was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it, he calmly closed the book and put it aside, and said serious nonsense: "My dad asked my mom to go with me, so I don't have to go." β
Qiao Ruoqing nodded, and felt that something was wrong, "Didn't Aunt Tang say that she couldn't get along with that friend?" β
"......, "So what did Tang Lan say to Qiao Ruoqing?"
Seeing Huo Jingyuan's slightly confused expression, Qiao Ruoqing also understood.
It seems that Tang Lan deliberately made an appointment for today's dinner because she left suddenly that day, right?
At this time, Qiao Ruoqing felt even more unhappy.
Just because of her momentary willfulness, Tang Lan took such a lot of effort, which was too undeserved.
Qiao Ruoqing reviewed it in her heart, Huo Jingyuan had already taken advantage of this time to order the food, the waiter walked away, and the two were relatively speechless.
Huo Jingyuan actually had a lot of things to ask Qiao Ruoqing, such as how she left suddenly that day, whether her previous worries had been resolved, and what kind of thoughts she had about him.
But after struggling for a long time, I didn't ask a single question after all.
After leaving that day, Qiao Ruoqing didn't even want to answer his phone, he Huo Jingyuan had lived so long, when had he ever suffered such treatment?
So he didn't speak at all, and just sat sullenly.
Qiao Ruoqing, who was sitting opposite, looked at him so fixedly.
Looking at Huo Jingyuan, who is used to strategizing in the company, she found that in fact, such a little awkward man is quite cute.
Qiao Ruoqing couldn't help but sigh her bad taste in her heart.
How can I say that my mental age is almost thirty years old, why is he still so naΓ―ve?
With a dry cough, Qiao Ruoqing took a sip of water, and then said, "Brother Huo, I didn't say a word to you when I left that day, I'm sorry......"
Huo Jingyuan didn't say anything.
Qiao Ruoqing herself also felt that she was quite excessive, so she didn't care, and continued: "That day, it was because I was in a hurry to determine something, so I left first, and I didn't have time to say hello to you. β
"What's the matter?" Huo Jingyuan finally had a reaction.
Qiao Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again, "It's a very important thing. β
Her eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled sweetly.
yes, that's a really important thing for her, and it's ......
This time, without waiting for Huo Jingyuan to ask her, she said, "But I've already confirmed." β
Huo Jingyuan let out a faint "oh", as if he didn't intend to ask what it was all about. Reading the Library
Qiao Ruoqing also knew that Huo Jingyuan was not a gossip, so she didn't care about his reaction, and asked, "Brother Huo, are you free on Saturday?" β
Huo Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the girl sitting opposite.
The warm light hit her face, and she looked ruddy and lovely, and she looked at him with big eyes open.
Are you available on Saturdays? Is this what he means?
But when I think about it, I don't think it's right, this woman is very elusive, maybe she wants to go wrong, and the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
So, he asked, "Is there any project to talk about that day?" β
The smile on Qiao Ruoqing's face disappeared most of the time.
Doesn't she usually look for Huo Jingyuan for some personal matters? Is it all about work?
"Not a project!" Qiao Ruoqing was upright, "I have something very important to tell you!" But if you don't have time that day, we can make another appointment. β
According to the agreed time, it can be done on Friday, and on Saturday, she can give the things to Huo Jingyuan.
Although Huo Jingyuan's personality may not like it very much, but after all, it is her mind, so she won't hate it, right? Qiao Ruoqing thought to herself.
However, Huo Jingyuan was not on the same channel with her at all, but his heart was raised.
It's a very important thing, not a project thing.
Could it be that she thought of what method to use to deal with the Song family again?
However, if she talks about the Song family, anyway, according to what Qiao Ruoqing said before, the Song family will be settled as soon as possible, then she will be able to think about being with him as soon as possible.
Qiao Ruoqing saw that Huo Jingyuan hadn't spoken for a long time, and his expression was a little indescribable, and she frowned slightly, "What's the matter, Brother Huo, do you really have no time?" β
"It's not." Huo Jingyuan replied in seconds, "I didn't have any arrangements that day. β
Qiao Ruoqing was relieved, her eyes were bent, "Then we'll make an appointment, and we'll see you at the playground in the West District then!" β
Looking at her, she seemed to be very happy.
But, the playground?
Huo Jingyuan didn't quite understand what this operation was.
Although he also knew that revenge made Qiao Ruoqing very happy, it was not ...... Going to the amusement park, right? Isn't that a place for kids?
β¦β¦
On Friday afternoon, Qiao Ruoqing really received what she customized, and she specially checked it, and it was the same as what she ordered, there was no problem, and she was very satisfied.
Before she had time to put the things in the box, Shi Shi suddenly came in, and just saw the small thing on Qiao Ruoqing's table, her eyes instantly lit up, "Ruoqing, where did you buy this?" It's so cute! β
Seeing that Shi Shi was about to rush over, Qiao Ruoqing hurriedly put the things into the box and hugged them in her arms, "I won't tell you." β
Shi Shi rolled her eyes at her and threw a document in front of her.
Qiao Ruoqing was in a good mood and covered the box and hummed a little song to read the documents.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Qiao Ruoqing called a car and went to the playground in the West District.
In fact, she made an appointment to meet at eleven o'clock, but she couldn't wait and wanted to meet Huo Jingyuan as soon as possible.
It seems like I've never felt like that, so eager to meet someone.
Even if he was for Song Mingyuan in his previous life, he didn't have such eagerness at all.
It was 10:40 when she arrived at the playground, and as soon as she arrived, she saw Huo Jingyuan leaning against the station, his elbows propped up on the body, and a wisp of white smoke came out of his mouth.
Looking down, he saw that Huo Jingyuan had a lit cigarette between his fingertips, which was already half burned.
In fact, the scarlet spark is not very obvious during the day, but the smoke curling on the gray soot can be seen that it is ignited.
She thought she had come early, but she didn't expect Huo Jingyuan to come earlier than her.
Picking up the exquisite paper bag that she had carefully prepared, Qiao Ruoqing exhaled a long breath, and finally made up her mind, opened the car door and walked down.
Almost the moment she got out of the car, Huo Jingyuan looked over here.
The girl was wearing a slim trench coat, with the scarf given to her by Tang Lan around her neck, and a small bag in her hand, walking towards her side step by step.
Huo Jingyuan rarely smokes cigarettes, but today he just felt irritable, so he lit one.
I don't know why, I always feel as if something is going to happen, but he doesn't know what it is, a heart hangs in his throat, and he can't settle down.
He remembered that Qiao Ruoqing didn't like the smell of smoke, so when he saw Qiao Ruoqing coming, even if there was still some distance, he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt, raised his hand and fanned it, and then walked towards her.
"Brother Huo, you came so early." Qiao Ruoqing had a smile on her face, her cheekbones were stained with a touch of unexplained redness, she only glanced at Huo Jingyuan, and quickly lowered her head.
"Just arrived." Huo Jingyuan responded and asked, "Where are we going?" β
"Would you like to ride the Ferris wheel?" Qiao Ruoqing didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Huo Jingyuan was not interested in these things, in his opinion, they were things that only little girls and children would like.
But since it was Qiao Ruoqing who said it, he didn't say anything, nodded, and said "um".
When the two of them walked inside, Huo Jingyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at Qiao Ruoqing's hand, stretched out his hand to take the bag from her, and said, "I'll help you?" β
However, Qiao Ruoqing quickly changed the bag to the other hand as if she was frightened, and waved her hand in a hurry: "No need, Brother Huo, I'll just come by myself." β
