20 Dinner
When Xie Jingchen interrogated Liu Kuo, he asked a lot. One of them is "What is the relationship between An Ruqiao and RL?" ”
Liu Kuo doesn't know much about RL, and he is not as willing to reveal it as he is to share his "good deeds", except for those about An Ruqiao.
Liu Kuo told Xie Jingchen that An Ruqiao was the next prophet of the RL organization, that is, the heir to the leader. And that this was said by their great prophet himself, and that there is no falsehood at all.
But Liu Kuo said again that he didn't know that An Ruqiao was An Ruqiao.
This seems to be a very winding statement.
It was only after everything happened that Liu Kuo learned that his favorite prey was the legendary heir of the prophet. But after knowing it, there is no fear or fear.
The heir is the heir, not the present great prophet.
And Liu Kuo was still a little proud, feeling that he had a good eye for people.
Liu Kuo's confession was also a surprise to Xie Jingchen. After being identified by a lie detector, Xie Jingchen believed that he was telling the truth.
What followed was the psychology of exploration of An Ruqiao.
It is said that curiosity is the beginning of a man's heart, and Xie Jingchen is also very conflicted now. On the one hand, he does not cheat on An Ruqiao's favor, and on the other hand, he is hostile to the RL organization.
Therefore, after struggling for several days, Xie Jingchen decided to take the initiative, drove to the hospital to pick up An Ruqiao at the gate of the hospital after work, and took her to eat home-cooked food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that suited her taste as he said last time.
But today...... I obviously felt that An Ruqiao was a little cold.
In the previous contacts, An Ruqiao was the more active one, and even said "I like him" in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gentle, considerate, and a little cunning and seductive to him.
Now that he suddenly became cold, it made Xie Jingchen a little uncomfortable.
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Jingchen asked her, "...... work?" Tired? "After asking, I felt as if I was asking nonsense, and I must be tired from working in a big hospital. Just look at her tired appearance.
An Ruqiao was originally recuperating with his eyes closed, but when he heard this question, he raised his eyes to look at him, but it didn't make him too embarrassed, but he still answered.
"I've had a few surgeries and I'm a little sleepy now." This sleepiness is the result of nervous tension and relaxation after excitement
After realizing this, An Ruqiao suddenly realized that it was very strange that it was easy for him to settle down and relax his nerves by Xie Jingchen's side.
Shifting, sitting up straight, she pulled herself together.
"What about you? How's your case going? ”
Hearing her ask about the case, Xie Jingchen suddenly tensed.
Did you ask casually, or did you ask on purpose?
"That's pretty much it. In the past few days, I have been busy with related things, sorting out records, keeping archives and the like, and waiting for the verdict later. ”
The countdown to the red light ended, and the car behind honked its horn, and Xie Jingchen drove forward again.
Even he was in the mood to complain in his heart: It is useless to press the horn, and it will not go much faster if he presses it.
After listening to this, An Ruqiao nodded, "That's it, okay." Then he closed his eyes again.
Xie Jingchen's car should be sent for maintenance frequently, and the car aromatherapy is also very light and fresh agarwood. Now the windows were opened again, and the pleasant smell made her drowsy.
In a daze, she even thought that if all taxis and express buses could keep the smell so fresh, then she would not be so uncomfortable when she usually sat in the car.
Gone? That's gone?
While waiting for An Ruqiao to ask further questions, Xie Jingchen only waited for silence.
Didn't she ask?
Isn't it time to find out the news?
An Ruqiao's unexpected way of coping caught him off guard.
At a crossroads again, when waiting for the green light, Xie Jingchen turned his head, and wanted to say a few more words to An Ruqiao, but saw An Ruqiao leaning on the seat, his thin lips slightly open, and his breathing was steady.
Asleep?
The thousands of doubts and vigilance in my heart disappeared at this moment, and only the little good feeling in my heart was constantly fermenting.
A quiet, obedient beautiful woman is always born with a layer of filters, which makes people love it. What's more, An Ruqiao really knows how to grasp the balance, which makes it really difficult for people to feel bad.
It's very tiring to go to work, it's still the work of the chief surgeon of a tertiary hospital, and it is normal to be tired because of the double consumption of physical strength and spirit.
It's still a twenty-minute drive from that private restaurant, so let her sleep a little longer.
When An Ruqiao woke up, the car was parked in a small parking lot in front of the private restaurant. Xie Jingchen was looking at her, and when he saw her wake up and look at each other, he looked away again.
An Ruqiao sat up, her eyes were a little dry, and she just wanted to rub her eyes, but she held back.
"Arrived? How long did you wait? ”
"It won't be long, let's go, the one on the other side is."
Then the two got out of the car and went to dinner.
An Ruqiao picked up her phone and looked at it, 8:40. More than two hours have passed since she got off work.
Why didn't Xie Jingchen wake her up?
An Ruqiao suddenly became a little angry.
I was a little angry that I believed this man so much, and actually fell asleep next to him.
I'm a little angry at this man who indulges himself, waiting for so long in vain, and I don't know if it's looking at her all the time, which makes her a little ...... It's kind of weird, I'm sorry.
She never thought that she would have the feeling of "embarrassed" at times.
She glanced back at the passenger seat.
The chair was so comfortable that she felt a sense of security similar to that of her own couch.
The private restaurant has two floors, the first floor is a hall and the second floor is a private room. Xie Jingchen booked a small private room on the second floor in advance.
The tables and chairs in the small private room are for four people, similar to those in the hall, but more elaborate. The main reason is that the private special dishes provided in the box are different from those in the hall, and the relatively closed environment is suitable for talking.
It is not easy to book a private room here, Xie Jingchen booked this private room, and asked it to reserve two hours, using some family resources.
Xie Jingchen ordered the dishes when he made the reservation, three dishes and one soup, namely crab roe lion's head, steamed sea bass, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and Pingqiao tofu soup.
Not long after they were seated, the dishes were served, all at once.
Huaiyang cuisine pursues the true flavor and true color, and the ingredients are mostly fresh from rivers and lakes, and strive to give full play to the fresh and fragrant taste of the ingredients themselves in cooking, and the taste is relatively light, with the concept of "harmony, refinement, clarity and newness".
Three dishes and one soup come up, the color and flavor are complete, and the umami is tempting.
didn't be polite, and moved the chopsticks directly.
Scoop a spoonful of Pingqiao tofu first, and after entering the mouth, taste the smooth and fresh fragrance of the tofu, and An Ruqiao is immersed in the food.
Xie Jingchen was on the other side, and he glanced at An Ruqiao from time to time, feeling troubled in his heart.
If she asks later, how will she answer? Do you want to tell her everything?
Then she thought about it, she waited a while, if she didn't ask, what would she do? Do you want to be tempted?
