After a brief lunch with Ning Guoen, Ning Ronghao sent him to the provincial party committee building before driving back to the municipal government office building.

Parking the car in his exclusive parking space, he didn't rush to get out of the car, but opened the notepad, looked at the note with the address, and the girl sleeping in the yard came to mind.

Could it be her? He felt that his assumption was reasonable, but he was not sure. Especially when he was aware of the slight expectation in his heart, he suspected that he had come to this conclusion because there were too many irrational elements involved.

As soon as Ning Ronghao walked into the office, he heard a knock on the door behind him, and he looked at the door while saying "Please come in".

A seductively dressed woman pushed open the door, still holding a folder in her hand.

As soon as Sun Jiaqian saw Ning Ronghao, she had an urge to rush over, she came to work in the mayor's office completely for him, otherwise, as the daughter of her deputy mayor, why would she live such a hard life from 9 to 5.

"What's the matter?" With a simple question and a cold tone, Ning Ronghao walked quickly to the desk and sat down, not giving Sun Jiaqian a chance to stick up.

Sun Jiaqian pretended not to see that Ning Ronghao ignored her love, twisted her slender waist and walked to Ning Ronghao's desk, in other words, others might not have such a thick skin as her.

"Rong Hao, let me confirm with you the documents to be used for today's meeting." Sun Jiaqian's voice was loud, and when the novel took advantage of the release of the document, she deliberately leaned over 45 degrees and showed her snow-white **** to Ning Ronghao.

Ning Ronghao looked at Sun Jiaqian's eyes unmoved, and said coldly: "First, although we are neighbors, please call me 'Vice Mayor Ning' in the unit; ”

"Ah......h

After reading the file directory, Ning Ronghao held the folder high and handed it to Sun Jiaqian, which was also to prevent her from having a chance to go out again: "There is no problem with the directory, you can confirm the file before the meeting, I hope you don't miss important information this time." ”

"I see." After saying that, Sun Jiaqian didn't leave immediately, she stroked her big wavy curls that showed femininity, smiled charmingly, and asked coquettishly: "Vice Mayor Ning, I don't know if you are free tomorrow night, we ......"

"I'm sorry, but I have a party tomorrow night." Without waiting for Sun Jiaqian's words to finish, Ning Ronghao refused her invitation and didn't give her a chance to speak again, he looked at the door and said, "If there is nothing else, you can go out, I still have something to do."

Sun Jiaqian was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she bit her red lip and walked out of Ning Ronghao's office.

This man ignores her every day, and every time he shows concern for him, he drags it like 2580,000, which makes her lose face.

But, she just likes Ning Ronghao like this, the more he is cold to her, the more she wants to get him.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Ning Ronghao breathed a sigh of relief, he had been in officialdom for a few years, he was still not good at lying, but fortunately, the blind date tomorrow night gave him a reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, Ning Ronghao sighed with emotion and said to himself: "In this way, it seems that a blind date once in a while is not entirely a bad thing. ”

Although it was not voluntary, out of politeness, coupled with the fact that there was no traffic jam, Ning Ronghao arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than the appointment time. As soon as I entered the Mantrin West Restaurant, I saw a familiar figure.

Different from yesterday's laziness, she is now wearing a light green sleeveless dress with a white handbag and high heels, giving people a fresh and feminine feeling of "standing up after the rain at the beginning of summer".

It's really her! A flash of joy flashed in Ning Ronghao's eyes and walked over to Chu Xinyi.

"May I ask ......" The words only began, and Ning Ronghao couldn't continue, because Ning Guoen didn't say the girl's name.

"Are you Uncle Ning's son?" Chu Xinyi, who was reading a book, raised her head, and she suddenly felt that her eyes lit up when she was 100% in control. The man in front of him was dressed in a black tone, which made him upright, resolute and extraordinary.

Ning Ronghao nodded, and was about to introduce himself, but he was stunned for the moment he saw her appearance clearly.

The eyes are cut water, innocent and innocent, like the girl in her heart. It's a pity that the only thing that is the same is the eyes. Although the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, no matter how much it changes, there will not even be a shadow of childhood.

"Please sit down, I am Chu Xinyi who came to go on a blind date with you. First time meeting, nice to meet you. Chu Xinyi stretched out her hand generously, and when she shook hands, she saw that two mother-of-pearl cufflinks were used on the cuffs of the blind date men's shirt, which shone against the background of the black shirt, which was particularly eye-catching, showing the owner's taste.

The blind date man's conditions in all aspects exceeded Chu Xinyi's expectations, which can be called the best. Tasting the nostalgic coffee and looking at the handsome guy with eye-catching eyes, if it wasn't a blind date, it would have been a perfect meeting.

"Hello, I'm Ning Ronghao." Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi with a smile, and did not mention that it was not the first time she had met her.

Chu Xinyi closed the book, pushed it aside, took the recipe, and asked for advice with a smile: "Let's order first, I'm hungry." ”

Ning Ronghao has never been on a blind date, but a girl like Chu Xinyi who took the initiative to eat on a blind date should be regarded as a strange existence, right? However, he liked her unpretentious character.

"When you say that, I'm hungry too, so you can order a double portion." Ning Ronghao agreed, I don't know if it was because he subconsciously regarded Chu Xinyi as the child in his memory, and his tone seemed extremely doting.

Ten seconds later, listening to Chu Xinyi babbling about the name of the food in front of the waiter, Ning Ronghao gradually regretted giving her the power to order.

For one, the variety and quantity were not what his stomach could hold; Second, he didn't expect that all she ordered were desserts, so what should he do if he doesn't like sweets?

After the waiter left dumbfounded, Ning Ronghao followed Chu Xinyi's unfinished gaze to the book on the table and asked, "Do you also like to read mystery novels?" This "Hunt for Scapetta" is the 16th installment in Convier's "Chief Female Forensic Doctor" series, and it should have been published yesterday, right? It's a pity that I haven't had time to go to the bookstore to buy it yet. ”

It was rare to meet a bosom friend, Chu Xinyi clapped her hands in surprise and asked, "Uncle, do you also like to read mystery novels?" ”

Big...... Uncle? Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi with tears and laughter, it was really the first time in history to be called like this by an adult, he didn't know whether he should affirm her question first, or deny her title first.

After a moment of silence, Ning Ronghao replied with a rhetorical question: "I...... Does it look as mature as an uncle? ”

Chu Xinyi looked at it carefully for a while, and nodded vigorously: "Uncle is indeed very mature, but you are not too worried, you have not exceeded the maturity level of uncle, that is to say, you do not look old." ”

"Then how old do you think I am this year, uncle?" Ning Ronghao's face was helpless, and he was called by an uncle one by one, especially if he was still the object of a blind date, this mood was really complicated.

"Don't think about it, I heard my grandmother say that my uncle is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today." Chu Xinyi mischievously deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "uncle", she thought about it all night before she thought of this way to destroy the blind date, which was to make the blind date man feel that he was eating tender grass from the old cow and took the initiative to flash people.

Ning Ronghao hesitated for a moment and asked, "So...... Although it is very rude, but with all due respect, may I ask Miss Chu how old she is this year? ”

"Twenty-two." Chu Xinyi made a triumphant gesture.

Is there a ten-year age difference? Although Ning Ronghao thinks that he is in the golden age of a man, he can't deny that he is an uncle in front of her. It's just that he never thought that his father's favorite daughter-in-law would be so young, and he kept it a complete secret from beginning to end.

Ning Ronghao called the waiter, saying that he wanted to change the order, and before Chu Xinyi objected, he put the recipe in front of her again, and said with a smile: "The Wellington roast beef and French pan-fried scallops here taste good, I suggest you try it, how can you only eat dessert." Moreover, you have fully proved my seniority, so there is no need to grieve your stomach anymore. Come, uncle has a treat today. ”

It's good to deal with smart people, and Chu Xinyi has added a few points of favorability to Ning Ronghao. Since his little trick has been seen through by him, she simply let this uncle break the bank.

For the next twenty minutes, Chu Xinyi and Ning Ronghao chatted happily, and the topic changed from Arthur? Conan? Doyle to Agatha? Christie, from Morris? LeBron to Ellery? Quinn, from Edogawa Ranbu to Keigo Higashino...... There is a feeling of seeing each other late in each other's hearts, and it is rare to meet mystery novel lovers who have the same preferences and views.

Suddenly, a woman's arm was on Ning Ronghao's shoulder, and she leaned over and said with a smile in his ear: "Rong Hao, the two of us really have a good heart, we actually met here." ”

Chu Xinyi looked at the bewitching woman wrapped around Ning Ronghao's body, and at the same time saw him frown in disgust.

I don't know why, Chu Xinyi suddenly lost her appetite, and even had a feeling of nausea, she put down the knife and fork in her hand, and bluntly advised: "If you have anything to say, don't do anything to my man, and don't deliberately rub your chest on his shoulder." ”

"Your man? What is the relationship between you and Rong Hao? Looking at the girl who was younger, more beautiful, and more aggressive than herself, she actually called Ning Ronghao "my man", these four words made Sun Jiaqian so jealous that she was about to go crazy.

"What's the relationship?" Chu Xinyi sneered, as if she was laughing at how ridiculous this question was. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table and said unhurriedly, "Just together...... relationship. ”

Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi calmly, and from her movements and pauses in her words, it was actually clear that the relationship between the two of them was just eating together. However, presumably Sun Jiaqian would never understand it this way.

"Rong Hao, why didn't I know you were with another woman?" Sun Jiaqian angrily accused Ning Ronghao, she secretly saw a note in his notepad with an address during the meeting yesterday, so she wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect to see him and a woman talking and laughing here as soon as she entered the restaurant.

"We are just colleagues in the unit, so I don't need to report my private life to you for the record." Ning Ronghao's cold tone caused the room temperature to plummet, and he didn't look at Sun Jiaqian from beginning to end. Putting the napkin on his lap on the table, he suggested to Chu Xinyi: "Are you the same as I thought now, feeling that you have been spoiled by unrelated people?" Why don't we change places, didn't you just say you want to eat creamy lobster pasta? I'll take you to an authentic Italian restaurant right now. ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Chu Xinyi stood up in response, took Ning Ronghao's arm, and walked out of the restaurant intimately with him.

Sun Jiaqian froze in place, watching the two people disappear for a while before suddenly coming back to her senses, grabbing the water glass on the table and throwing it at the door, scolding regardless of the image.

After walking a long way, Chu Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she withdrew her hand from the crook of Ning Ronghao's arm, only to see that the sleeves of his shirt had already been soaked with sweat from her palm.

"You were so imposing just now, you really can't see that you are nervous like this." Ning Ronghao couldn't help but joke, the two of them had just cooperated too tacitly.

"Uncle, how are you going to thank me this time? Seriously, I feel like I'm risking my life to save you. Chu Xinyi took out a tissue from her bag and did not forget to take credit while wiping her hands.

"Merit and demerit are offset, no reward or punishment." Ning Ronghao found out for the first time that he would also be a scoundrel, he had always thought that this was a patent that only belonged to the second son of the Ning family, and the blood relationship really couldn't deceive people.

"Huh? How can the merits be offset by the demerits? Chu Xinyi didn't expect that she was busy in vain, she glared at Ning Ronghao angrily, waiting for him to explain.

Ning Ronghao resisted the urge to poke the bulging cheeks, and argued unreasonably: "Needless to say, I am very grateful to you for helping me get rid of that person's entanglement; But at the same time, you also made an irreparable mistake, you made her misunderstand our relationship, which is equivalent to letting all my colleagues in the unit know that I have a girlfriend, of course, it does not rule out the possibility of being upgraded to a fiancée, how do you let me explain it one by one? This is still developing in a good direction, if it is said to be an improper relationship between men and women, it will affect my work, maybe I will be called to the office by the leader as soon as I go to work tomorrow, and more seriously, it will be announced that I will be placed on leave in the afternoon...... You have good intentions, but the consequences are serious. Although she is the one who spreads the false news, you are the one who started it. ”

"Huh? Is that so? Chu Xinyi also sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she was inexplicably bypassed.

"Hmm. That is true. Ning Ronghao couldn't hold back a smile, Chu Xinyi's current appearance is really cute.

"That'...... What to do? Chu Xinyi raised her head and looked at Ning Ronghao pitifully.

"Well...... I think the easiest way is to skip falling in love and just get married. As soon as the words fell, the emotion flashing in Ning Ronghao's eyes disappeared in an instant, he put away his smile and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my joke seems to have gone too far." ”

Suddenly hearing the marriage proposal, Chu Xinyi was taken aback, and finally although she was relieved, she still asked a little worriedly: "Joke? Where did this joke start? ”

"Start with 'offsetting the merits and demerits.'" Ning Ronghao reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth, because a joke he would not make under any circumstances made him feel that the will he had been insisting on in his heart was shaken.

"Then I'll be relieved." Chu Xinyi nodded reassuringly, ran away a few steps with a smile, and then turned around and waved her hand to Ning Ronghao: "Uncle, I'm going back, please find a reason to declare our blind date a failure." After speaking, without waiting for Ning Ronghao to express her position, she got into the taxi.

The taxi drove a long way before Chu Xinyi covered her chest and cautiously looked back at the place where she had left Ning Ronghao. The reason why she went in such a hurry was completely evasion. Although I don't know what the reason is, his expression just now is very distressing.
