When Dong Yaqing saw it, she was startled, and quickly grabbed a fan, fanned him, and said to Lilac: "Go and bring a cup of cold sour plum soup, and then take a wet towel to wipe Mr. Xiao's sweat." ”

Lilac said yes and ran out as fast as she could. Dong Yaqing looked at Xiao Mufan worriedly, thinking that he had been signed on the way here.

Xiao Mufan became even more nervous at this time, and waved his hand vigorously, indicating that he was fine, but the sweat on his body became more and more.

Lilac quickly ran in with a sour plum soup in one hand and a wet hand towel in the other.

Dong Yaqing took the towel and handed it to Xiao Mufan: "Wipe your sweat quickly, it's too hot, don't get hit." ”

After wiping it with a wet towel and the wind that Dong Yaqing fanned out with a fan, Xiao Mufan immediately felt a lot more comfortable, and took the sour plum soup handed over by the cloves, and took two bites, feeling cool from the inside out.

This toss has made Xiao Mufan's nervousness gone. He tilted his neck and poured the rest of the sour plum soup into his mouth, and said happily: "Comfortable, so comfortable!" Dog days have such a thirst-quenching thing to drink, it's too enjoyable. ”

Dong Yaqing was relieved and told Ding Xiang to bring another cup of sour plum soup.

Lilac quickly brought two cups of sour plum soup, and after putting one cup in front of Xiao Dong and the others, she withdrew with the tea tray.

Dong Yaqing picked up the cup and took a sip of the cold sour plum soup, relieving the heat caused by the busyness, and gently fanning the wind with a fan in her hand.

It was inconvenient for her to ask the other party the reason for her visit, so she had to wait patiently for Xiao Mufan to open her mouth.

Xiao Mufan also picked up the cup and took a sip slowly. He was wondering how to speak. I used to think of the opening sentence at home, but I can't remember a word now.

There was a brief silence in the room.

As the master, Dong Yaqing certainly can't let them have such a cold scene. She raised her head and was about to speak, but when she met Xiao Mufan who also raised his head with determination, Dong Yaqing immediately smiled slightly, stopped the polite words that were about to be spoken, and quietly looked at him and waited.

As soon as Xiao Mufan looked up, he saw Dong Yaqing's clear eyes looking at him intently, and suddenly felt a little dry again, he subconsciously raised his cup and drank a big sip of sour plum soup.

Xiao Mufan's performance in all this and the first meeting made Dong Yaqing feel very surprised in his heart, seeing that he seemed to have a hard time talking, probably because he was asking for himself, but Dong Yaqing really couldn't think of any place where he could help a businessman like Xiao Mufan.

Xiao Mufan swallowed the sour plum soup with a grunt, and opened his mouth to say, "I'll tell you directly." I'm here today to ......, so let's just say that I want to introduce myself to you. ”

He paused and continued, "My name is Xiao Mufan, and I am a businessman. Our ancestors of the Xiao family originally ran a tea house, and by the time my father's generation had opened several branches, and when I took over from my father, there were more than these tea houses, and there were also two silk houses and two dry loan houses. Today, in addition to the eight Hengxing Ji stores that deal in tea, the Hengxing Company of the Xiao family also has eight shops in other industries, and also has branches in Tianjin, Baoding and Tangshan. ”

Xiao Mufan said so many words in one breath, and seeing that Dong Yaqing had been staring at him inexplicably with big eyes, he shook his head with some annoyance and said: "Actually, I say this mainly to let you know more about me, in fact, I don't mainly want to say this, I mainly want you to understand what kind of person I am." ”

Then he was like a train that couldn't stop the brakes, from the first lady to the third aunt Tai Liu Xinru, two sons and a daughter, and everything around him, he was cleaned up.

Dong Yaqing couldn't have imagined that Xiao Mufan came to propose to her anyway.

At first she was a little puzzled by what he said, but as she listened, she gradually realized what he meant.

Her expression became more and more serious, and her face became more and more ugly. Until Xiao Mufan finished saying all the words, she never said a word.

There was a sudden silence in the room, neither of them spoke again, only the wall clock on the wall was still ticking.

Dong Yaqing was so surprised that she couldn't say a word of surprise, she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in at the moment.

She is a Chinese woman, and her deep-rooted education since childhood makes her unable to accept Xiao Mufan's straightforward approach. For some reason, she felt a little sad in her heart, so that she didn't fully understand what he was saying behind the scenes. But after all, she has lived in the West for a period of time, and the open social interaction in the West has also influenced her to some extent, so she does not have too much disgust with Xiao Mufan himself. She just couldn't accept the topic emotionally.

Since she returned to Beiping, she has encountered similar things a few times, but they are all in the circle of acquaintances, and they are all asked by friends to interview and probe on the side, even if they want to pursue it face-to-face, they are also very tactful, so they quickly gave up when they understood that she had no such intentions. Like Xiao Mufan, who only has a one-sided acquaintance and unabashedly situation, Dong Yaqing has never encountered it, which really surprised her.

Xiao Mufan saw that Dong Yaqing was silent, mistakenly thinking that she was thinking about it, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and continued: "You know my situation. I'm here today to ...... you."

"Mr. Xiao." Dong Yaqing suddenly intercepted Xiao Mufan's words.

"You don't have to say it, I think I already see what you mean. Since Mr. Xiao likes to go straight, then I won't beat around the bush. Although my husband has passed away, I have no intention of remarrying. No matter who it is or what kind of situation, I, Dong Yaqing, don't consider it. Thank you Mr. Xiao for your kindness, but I can only say I'm sorry. ”

Xiao Mufan sat there calmly, not embarrassed or surprised. Dong Yaqing's reaction was what he expected. He was just a little unwilling, but he quickly regained his original mentality, and at this time, he was no longer as restrained and nervous as before.

He smiled freely, then looked at Dong Yaqing's eyes and said seriously: "Don't say I'm sorry!" It was I who hurt your feelings, and I was the one who should say I'm sorry. But I have no regrets about what happened today and never will regret it! I will take my leave today, hoping that you will treat me as an ordinary friend and allow me to visit you again. ”

After saying that, he stood up and strode out.

Dong Yaqing looked at his back dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

The man was like a high-speed bomber, and after completing his scheduled mission, it flew away like a gust of wind. The intensity and speed made Dong Yaqing dumbfounded.

A long time later, Dong Yaqing said when talking about Xiao Mufan with her daughter: "If there is any man in this world who has left a deep impression on me in a short period of time, it is only Xiao Mufan." ”
