"Shut up!" Zhuo Shaoting suddenly turned off his mobile phone, his face slightly gloomy.

Zhuo Xingyu touched his nose and said nothing! Obediently, dad doesn't like this topic!

Knock knock!

Just as Zhuo Shaoting wanted to say something more, there was a sudden knock on the door of the tea house.

The father and son looked at each other, and saw Xia Qing standing outside the door, with an embarrassed smile of 'sorry to disturb'.

"Hey, Manager Xia, you're here again!" Zhuo Xingyu walked over and opened the door to let Xia Qing in.

"Uh, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I bought you some dinner, I hope you don't dislike it! ”

Xia Qing handed the large bag that was still hot in his hand to Zhuo Xingyu, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Zhuo Shaoting.

Zhuo Shaoting frowned, walked over and said, "Manager Xia, don't come again in the future, and don't buy anything for us!" ”

"Uh...... I don't mean anything else, just by the way, by the way! Mr. Zhuo, if you don't like it, I won't buy it next time! ”

Xia Qing was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly explained carefully. But I've been used to being rejected for more than a year, and I'm almost numb from the embarrassment at the beginning, so it's okay to be cheeky!

"Wow! It's a steamed fish head! Dad, your favorite food! Manager Xia, how do you know that my dad loves fish heads? ”

For Xia Qing to come to the door, Zhuo Xingyu was no longer surprised. It has been a year since the demolition of this community began. In the past year, this summer manager has been rain or shine, and he has come to his house every three or five times to 'hang out', and he is a mature guest!

Of course, in order to avoid embarrassment, Xia Qing will always find various reasons to come to the door every time, either to buy tea for some reason, or to go by the way, of course, every time he comes, he will always bring something to their father and son from time to time. Breakfast, snacks, supper, anyway, never come empty-handed every time.

Zhuo Xingyu never refuses what is delivered to the door, because he feels that refusal is equivalent to waste. But my father was very unapologetic to Xia Qing, because he knew that Xia Qing's only purpose in coming to Lingxin Tea House was to get him to agree to the demolition, and demolishing Lingxin Tea House was equivalent to cutting off his heart, and he would never agree!

"Uh, does Mr. Zhuo like to eat fish heads? That's really a coincidence, just had dinner with friends, and I think this taste of the fish head is really good, so I packed a copy, I wanted to send it to my dad, but my dad had an appointment with a chess friend again, and happened to pass by your tea house, so I brought it to you! ”

Xia Qing didn't care about Zhuo Shaoting's coldness, and while helping Zhuo Xingyu put things on the coffee table, he raised his head and smiled lightly at Zhuo Shaoting.

Zhuo Shaoting's eyes froze, his throat tightened unconsciously, and his gaze staring at Xia Qing became slightly hot.

Xia Qing tucked the hair on her cheeks behind her ears and lowered her head uncomfortably.

Why? She always felt that Zhuo Shaoting's gaze at her was a little strange?

"Dad! Time to eat! Since Manager Xia is so polite, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat? ”

Zhuo Xingyu was not polite, put things on the table, and found that there were not only fish heads, but also chicken soup and a box of sushi, and ate them one by one with saliva.

"Uh, that, you eat slowly! I won't bother, I'll go first! ”

Xia Qing was really embarrassed by Zhuo Shaoting, and turned around in a panic to leave.

"Manager Xia, go slowly! See you tomorrow! Zhuo Xingyu waved his hand, picked up the chicken soup and drank it casually.

Zhuo Shaoting is really ashamed that he gave birth to such a shameless son.

He stroked his forehead and said, "Manager Xia, wait a minute!" ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Xia Qing didn't expect Zhuo Shaoting to stop her, and turned back to ask in some surprise.

"Please come to my study, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Zhuo Shaoting glanced at his son, who was eating a lot, and turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly followed, but maybe he was in too much of a hurry, and when he stepped up the last step, he suddenly tripped over, and Xia Qing fell forward!

"Ahh

With a scream, Xia Qing closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the expected pain to come.

But no!

A pair of strong arms held her up, so that she did not have a miserable intimate contact with the floor.

Xia Qing raised his head violently, and saw an enlarged handsome face appear in front of him. It was Zhuo Shaoting who turned around in time to support her, and his resolute facial features were even more masculine under close contact.

"Are you alright?" The magnetic male voice rang in her ears at close range, making her blush as if it were burning with fire.

"Right...... I'm sorry! ”

Xia Qing hurriedly pushed Zhuo Shaoting away, and he was really a little reluctant to withdraw from his warm embrace. As soon as this thought came to mind, Xia Qing secretly scolded himself for being a nymphomaniac!

What do you think Xia Qing? This kind of man won't take a fancy to an older leftover girl like you!

"I ...... I'm fine...... Yes! Xia Qing waved his hand and took a step back, and then retreated, just about to say something, one accidentally stepped on the edge of the steps, and the other was about to roll down the stairs!

Zhuo Shaoting frowned slightly, and when he was about to make a move, he quickly stretched out his hand and hugged her waist directly.

Xia Qing's face turned pale, this time he was really frightened! Although the stairs are not high, it is possible to break your arms and legs if you fall down! didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore, closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Zhuo Shaoting's neck without hesitation.

Zhuo Shaoting's brows furrowed even tighter, straightened Xia Qing's body, and said while pulling down her hand: "Manager Xia, you're fine!" ”

Xia Qing opened his eyes in shock and stammered, "I'...... I just ...... It's true...... Freak out! ”

"I know, come in with me!"

Zhuo Shaoting tilted his head slightly, gave Zhuo Xingyu, who was watching a good show at the staircase, a warning look, and then turned around and walked to the study.

Xia Qing stroked his chest, forced himself to calm down, and slowly suppressed the crazy heartbeat, and then walked into Zhuo Shaoting's study.

To the west of the study is a wall-large bookshelf filled with books, and to the east is a large desk with two mahogany chairs in front of it. On the south side are floor-to-ceiling windows, hung with beige curtains, and the whole study exudes a strong bookish atmosphere, not dull, but it looks extraordinarily warm.

Xia Qing didn't know why she felt this way, when she saw Zhuo Shaoting before, she always thought that he would not be a family man, but now, she didn't think so.

"You may be seated." Zhuo Shaoting raised his hand and motioned for Xia Qing to sit down.

"Mr. Zhuo, I don't know what you're going to tell me?" Xia Qing sat down on a mahogany chair far away from Zhuo Shaoting, raised his hand to tuck his hair behind his ear, and then raised his head and asked.

Zhuo Shaoting glanced at her and said, "Manager Xia has been coming to my tea house many times for more than a year, I know you want to convince me to agree to the demolition, but I have my difficulties, I hope you can understand." ”
