Chapter 4: Friday's Appointment
Xu is because Tang Zhongkai agreed to the family's blind date request, so Tang Xinqiang and Ning Xiaowan are no longer as restrained to him as usual in the past few days. Originally, because of the strict family style, Tang Zhongkai even had to report clearly if he didn't eat at home occasionally, but he didn't expect that today he just said that he would not come back for dinner in the evening, Ning Xiaowan said that he knew, and then hung up the phone.
Tang Zhongkai only felt a little funny when he looked at the phone that was hung up in such a hurry, but listening to the conversation on the other end, he also knew that his mother must be a guest at his little sister's house at this time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to himself. Still, that's fine. Tang Zhongkai no longer has to think of any reason to prevaricate the people in the family.
After seeing that the time was almost four o'clock, I thought that Lin Manla should get off work at five o'clock, right? It would take me at most forty minutes to drive from here to Lin Manla's place of work, and it would be too late to pick her up from work. Tang Zhongkai looked at his watch, calculated the time and walked into the elevator.
After a while, I saw a blue sports car driving out of the underground garage.
Sure enough, as he expected, this time has not yet reached the time of traffic jam, so before half past four, Tang Zhongkai has already parked under Lin Manla's company. Seeing that there seemed to be no other place to park around, Tang Zhongkai had no choice but to wait on the spot.
Taking advantage of this free time, Tang Zhongkai only hummed a song in the car, then adjusted the position of the rearview mirror on the car, carefully studied his hairstyle today, opened the roof of the car, took out a small bottle of perfume from the dark compartment next to him, and sprayed it in the air as if at will.
Time passed minute by minute, Tang Zhongkai seemed to be a little impatient to wait, holding the watch in his left hand, and tapping on the steering wheel with his right hand. After a while, he couldn't help but pick up his phone and send a message to Lin Manla, for fear that she would forget about the appointment with him today.
It's just that after waiting for a long time, until five o'clock, Lin Manla still didn't reply to his message. Tang Zhongkai was already a little angry in his heart, but he still told himself that maybe people were working overtime, and he didn't have time to reply to himself?
Tang Zhongkai went to see the door of the company again, but this time he saw Lin Manla standing at the door, and it seemed that there was a strange man standing next to him. Lin Manla had his back to him, so Tang Zhongkai couldn't see her expression clearly, but the man had a smile on his face, which made Tang Zhongkai upset and irritable.
It's just that after a while, Tang Zhongkai found that it seemed that Lin Manla wanted to leave, but the man suddenly grabbed her arm, and Tang Zhongkai was angry. He pulled his tie and immediately got out of the car, slammed the door shut and walked towards Lin Manla.
"I'm sorry, I really made an appointment today."
"Manla, you're too hard to date, aren't you? I've been dating you for so many days and you ignore me, why do you suddenly have an appointment now? You can't deliberately make up lies to deceive me just to avoid me, right? ”
"I ......" Just as Lin Manla looked embarrassed and wanted to argue, he suddenly heard a cough from behind him.
Tang Zhongkai clenched his fist with one hand to his mouth, "Ahem...... I said, why are you so rubbing, are you a tortoise? I've been waiting for you in the car for a long time, and you can't come yet. ”
As soon as Lin Manla turned around, what he saw was Tang Zhongkai with an impatient face, but after letting go of his impatience, Tang Zhongkai's tone was so gentle, "If I hadn't seen you, I would have thought you were deceived and sold!" As he spoke, Tang Zhongkai deliberately looked at the man's face again, and it was as black as the bottom of the pot.
It was only soon that the man put away the anger on his face, and soon looked at Lin Manla with a smile on his face, "Manla, who is this person?" Why don't you tell me about it? ”
"Oh, it's ......"
Before Lin Manla finished speaking, Tang Zhongkai took the lead in pulling Lin Manla into his arms, "I'm her boyfriend, my surname is Tang." Who is your Excellency? ”
"What?" The man's face became even more exciting, and he kept his mouth open for a while before he muttered, "Manla, didn't you say you had a boyfriend?" ”
"Oh, I've only been together with Manla for a short time, so I haven't had time to invite everyone to dinner yet." Tang Zhongkai didn't care about pulling Lin Man tighter, and even gently dropped a kiss on her hair.
Lin Manla naturally noticed this, and immediately stiffened his body.
originally wanted to deny it, but Tang Zhongkai's move was obviously to help him get rid of the other party's harassment, so in the end, Lin Manla still didn't deny it, just nodded silently, and agreed with what Tang Zhongkai said.
"This is a colleague from my company, Wang Binyuan." Lin Manla was a little embarrassed and gave Tang Zhongkai a brief introduction.
Wang Binyuan also felt that he was embarrassed at this time, so he just took the initiative to reach out and want to shake hands with Tang Zhongkai, but he didn't expect Tang Zhongkai to turn around to look at Lin Manla, and scraped the bridge of her nose quite affectionately, "You little villain, next time you have to tell everyone my identity earlier." ”
Lin Manla was speechless for a while, could the man in front of him be too involved in the play? However, in the end, she nodded very cooperatively, and Wang Binyuan's face on the other side was even more ugly, and the hand hanging in the air didn't know when it had been put down.
"Uh...... I still have something to do, so I won't bother you both. In the end, Wang Binyuan smiled wryly, and then turned around and left quickly without even saying "goodbye".
It's just that Tang Zhongkai watched him go all the way, and still didn't let Lin Manla go out of his arms, or Lin Manla felt a little out of breath first, so he broke free from his arms.
"Huh......" Lin Manla finally relieved his spirits, and quickly took a long breath to calm his mood.
Tang Zhongkai just looked at her with some amusement, "What's the matter, is this person pursuing you?" ”
"What's the matter with you?" Lin Manla didn't have a good airway.
"Hey, you woman! I just helped you get rid of a noisy bee, why don't you know how to do it? Tang Zhongkai said half jokingly, half seriously, "Next time you meet this kind of person again, will you scold him fiercely?" ”
Lin Man tugged at his coat, and just glanced at Tang Zhongkai lightly, "He is the nephew of the director of our department, how dare I offend someone casually as a small staff." ”
Tang Zhongkai stopped talking, but he thought in his heart that it was good that he didn't beat anyone just now. Although he was not afraid that the other party would retaliate against him, it was possible that Lin Manla would lose his job because of this incident.
Thankfully, fortunately......
