"Why do you want to ask this? Did I refer to her, and does it matter to you? ”

Nalan Yanfeng's palms with ten fingers interlocked in front of him tightened slightly, his slightly drooping eyes then raised, but his tone was still very casual and asked.

Taking a deep breath of the slightly warm air in the elegant room, Tang Yating looked at Nalan Yanfeng, her eyebrows flowing, full of unquestionable determination: "Of course it matters, if there is Qingyi in the person you are referring to, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this." ”

"Why? Just because you know Liu Qingyi, you and she are friends? Nalan Yanfeng's thick eyebrows condensed lightly.

Tang Yating replied lightly: "This is just one of the reasons. ”

"And the other reason?"

Nalan Yanfeng didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic, but because of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, and then his heart sank, and he wanted to retract his words, but Tang Yating had already opened his mouth to answer.

"Although I haven't known your son and Qingyi for a long time, I can also see how deep the relationship between the two of them is. You asked me to prevent them from meeting, and even if I were willing to promise you, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”

Tang Yating's voice was unusually calm, and she deliberately accentuated the tone of her words, as if she was clearly reminding or suggesting Nalan Yanfeng not to break up the two of them again.

Nalan Yanfeng was stunned at first when he heard this, but soon his expression gradually recovered his relief. After a brief silence, he finally spoke again, and this time there was a touch of pertinence in his words—

"As long as you are willing to agree to my terms, I have a way for you to do it. And it will also tell you everything you want to know, and promise you that you will never come to harass your family again. ”

Tang Yating's jade hands on her knees in front of her were slightly clenched, and her gaze towards Nalan Yanfeng became quite complicated. But then her head slowly drooped.

However, just when Nalan Yanfeng's face lit up, thinking that the other party was going to nod and agree, Tang Yating suddenly stood up again, and the corners of her mouth began to set up an extremely mocking smile.

"You can't help but look down on me too much. Chairman Nalan, I would never do this kind of thing like this, in order to satisfy a little curiosity in my heart, I would never betray the feelings of my friends. So I'm sorry, I can't promise to do you this favor, goodbye! ”

After Tang Yating finished speaking, she stopped the unconcealed smile on her face, and quickly turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanfeng's expression, which had been indifferent, finally spread half a wave, and hurriedly replied in a deep voice: "If you don't agree, okay." Then I don't think there's any need to invite this meal, so let's pay for each of them, right? ”

Tang Yating's pretty face was slightly cold, her steps paused slightly, and after standing in place and hesitating for a moment, she slowly turned around and stared at Nalan Yanfeng with a rather disdainful gaze: "If you must use this method to blackmail me, I will only look down on you even more." Do you have to pay for each of them? Okay, waiter! ”

Tang Yating finished speaking and began to shout outside the store. Nalan Yanfeng sat quietly in his chair like this, watching this scene casually.

He has been in the shopping mall for decades, so naturally he can't be provoked by Tang Yating so easily, he just casually looked around the various dishes on the table, and quickly saw their approximate prices - about 3,500 yuan.

After a short wait, the door of the elegant room was opened, and a young waitress from this seaside restaurant walked in, her eyes glanced at Nalan Yanfeng, who was sitting upright, and Tang Yating, who was standing in front of the door, and then turned to the latter and asked very kindly: "Hello Miss, do you want the two of you to pay together?" ”

"No, he and I pay for it." Tang Yating replied casually, and slowly put her hand into the white shoulder bag she was carrying, obviously preparing to pay and leave.

"That's a total of 1,770 yuan, thank you."

The young waitress looked at the order menu in her hand, picked up the pen quite skillfully and calculated slightly, then raised her head and gave Tang Yating a soft smile back.

"So-"

Tang Yating's pretty eyes instantly widened when she heard this, and she blurted out the words "so expensive", but because of Nalan Yanfeng's presence, she had to be swallowed alive by herself.

However, this smile that seemed to be extremely friendly in Tang Yating's eyes instantly became awkward after she heard the price quoted by the latter. The corners of her cherry lips and eyes trembled and twitched slightly, and her eyes turned to look back at Nalan Yanfeng angrily, and it was estimated that she had already complained about the latter thousands of times in her heart.

"Uh, it's fine. No thanks, no thanks, just wait a minute. ”

Looking at Nalan Yanfeng's rather playful gaze at him, Tang Yating couldn't help but have the urge to kill him.

However, after complaining helplessly for a while, she could only turn back with an embarrassed face, look at the waiter in front of her, and bend over with a respectful smile, then she reached out and took out her wallet with a slight trembling.

"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred......"

Opening the wallet, Tang Yating checked the cash inside, and silently counted it in her heart. But when she counted to the last one, her already depressed mood was lifted again.

"Nine hundred, only nine hundred...... It's over, what to do? I definitely can't agree to his conditions, I can't be sorry for Qingyi. But ...... for this meal."

Holding the wallet tightly in the palm of her hand, Tang Yating could even feel that the fine hot sweat slowly seeped out of it.

In her heart, Tang Yating could only helplessly feel anxious again, so she immediately put the wallet in her hand back into her satchel.

Glancing at Nalan Yanfeng, who was still sitting still, Tang Yating raised her head slightly, looked at the waitress in front of her, and asked with a very obedient smile: "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry to go out and didn't bring enough cash." Well, can you be accommodating and let me go to a nearby bank to withdraw some money? ”

"It's-"

The waitress looked back at Tang Yating with some embarrassment, obviously hesitant.

But then when she happened to aim at Nalan Yanfeng on the side, she saw the latter nodding lightly at her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Tang Yating again with the same smile: "Okay, but you have to press your personal documents here, and you must come back within an hour." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Tang Yating smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, quickly took out her ID card and handed it to the waitress in front of her, and quickly rushed out of the depressing dining room. When Tang Yating's figure ran out, she could even hear a lyrical soft cry between her mouths.

After Tang Yating ran out of this high-end dining room, she waited for a moment until her footsteps disappeared, and then the young waitress turned around and looked at Nalan Yanfeng, who was still seated, with great respect, and then asked with some curiosity.

"Chairman, since you have the heart to embarrass her, why did you ask me to agree to her request to withdraw money?"

"That's more interesting, isn't it? I want to see if she is real, willing to spend more than 1,000 yuan in vain. ”

Nalan Yanfeng's face was filled with an interested smile, and the reason why he didn't have the slightest disgust with Tang Yating's stern rejection of him was because the latter's personality was too similar to the stubbornness he had when he was young.

"Oh yes, show me that girl's ID."

After Nalan Yanfeng finished speaking with a smile, his gaze swept casually over the young waiter in front of him, and when he saw the white card in the latter's hand, he froze slightly, and then gestured casually.

The waitress nodded in response, and then handed over the ID card that Tang Yating handed her to Nalan Yanfeng.

The latter picked it up and looked at it carefully, but when his eyes fell on the name column, his brow furrowed slightly: "Huh? I always thought that the second character in her name was taken from the 'Ya' in her mother's name. I didn't expect it to be this 'Ya'. ”

"It turns out that her real name is Tang Yating......"

Nalan Yanfeng slowly put down the ID card in his hand, but he looked a little puzzled between his eyebrows, but he didn't think too much about it for a while, so he could only casually put this doubt out of his mind.

What he is thinking about now should be how to make Tang Yating willingly agree to his conditions. After all, if the latter is forced to agree, I am afraid that the final effect will be counterproductive.

While Nalan Yanfeng was quietly waiting for dinner in the elegant room, in the rest area under an industrial and commercial bank located in the corner of the square on Haibin Road, Tang Yating, who had promised the waiter to withdraw money, was pacing back and forth between the corridors.

A pair of eyebrows frowned tightly, and the girl seemed to be entangled in something. It was clear that she had no intention of withdrawing money at all, as there was no money in her bank card at the moment.

"We can't delay any longer, it's important to save lives, and I can't care so much about face or something."

Looking up at the clock hanging in the bank, Tang Yating, who had been thinking for a long time, seemed to have finally made up her mind, took out her mobile phone from her shoulder bag, closed her red lips, bit her silver teeth slightly, and after looking for a moment in the phone book, she finally dialed one of the numbers.

It was less than half an hour before the bank counter closed, so she had to race against the clock and not miss a moment!

On the south side of the street square, the Mingfu Snack Street, surrounded by large and small restaurants, barbecues, snack bars and noodle restaurants, are busy before the start of the night market, preparing for a variety of sumptuous and diverse supper for people passing by or getting off work.

In a well-known grilled fish restaurant in the center of the street, there are two young figures, a man and a woman, sitting at a small independent square table by the window on the second floor.

From time to time, the two looked out of the window, and their vision was full of the twilight scene of the sea and sky. The setting sun shone on the handsome and beautiful faces of the two men, reflecting a dazzling golden light.
