Chapter 231: I'm Sorry
This is a relatively prosperous area of Xingfeng City.
Dozens of office buildings are built here, and many companies are moving in.
Xu Shi learned from Xia Yao that she was working here a long time ago, but for various reasons, he had never been here to see her, and he had no contact with Xia Yao......
The crowd came and went, every face was expressionless, and even the speed of walking was a few points faster than the average person.
"I guess I'm tired."
Xu Shi looked up.
The working atmosphere in the private sector is completely different from that in the system.
After waiting downstairs for about half an hour, Xia Yao's figure appeared in Xu Shi's eyes.
Just as Xu Shi was about to walk over, he found that there was a man following Xia Yao's side.
Suit and leather shoes, the air is magnificent.
The two of them were chatting, talking and laughing.
Xu Shi didn't have any ideas, he just regarded him as Xia Yao's colleague.
However, Xu Shi himself came without telling him, and he didn't know Xia Yao's specific situation, so he didn't want to appear in front of them at this time.
However, just as Xu Shi was about to retreat into the corner, Xia Yao discovered him first.
"Xu Shi?"
Xia Yao's eyes were full of surprise, she didn't care about anything else, and the next moment she rushed towards Xu Shi and threw herself into Xu Shi's arms: "Why are you here?" β
"I happened to be free today, so I'm going to come and see you."
Xu Shi felt the nephrite in his arms, sniffed the familiar fragrance lightly on the tip of his nose, and unconsciously hugged Xia Yao tightly.
"Don't say a word, I'm going to prepare in advance." Xia Yao also misses Xu Shi very much.
"I ......" Xu Shi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to surprise you." β
In fact, it was Xu Shi who didn't know how to talk to Xia Yao.
I don't know how to face her.
"What a surprise, it's a fright."
Xia Yao complained to Xu Shi, broke free from his arms, and looked serious: "Don't do this next time, if you tell me in advance, I will be happy all day, but now, I can only be happy for one night." β
"And that's the way it goes." Xu Shi was dumbfounded.
"Of course."
Xia Yao nodded proudly, and naturally held Xu Shi.
At the same time, the man who was with Xia Yao also walked over.
"Manager Xia, won't you introduce me?" He looked at Xu Shi with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry Yang Dong."
Xia Yao reacted at this time, with an apologetic face: "His name is Xu Shi, it's mine...... Husband. β
"You're married?"
The person known as Yang Dong looked stunned, and then frowned: "Why haven't I heard you talk about it, for so long, I always thought you were single." β
"We've been together for a long time, and we just got engaged some time ago."
This time, it was Xu Shi who stood up to speak, he looked at Yang Dong and smiled slightly: "I like to be pure, so I don't invite outsiders much." β
"Yes, yes?"
Yang Dong's face was a little stiff, but he quickly concealed it: "Since this is the case, then I won't bother you, as for the work matter, I'll talk about it when I go to work tomorrow." β
"Okay Yang Dong, see you tomorrow." Xia Yao also said goodbye.
When he left, Xu Shi asked, "Who is he?" β
"The chairman of Party A's company is called Yang Tuo."
Xia Yao took Xu Shi's hand and said as she walked: "They just happened to be our company's upstream supply, and this time they came over just for ordinary business cooperation, what?" Are you jealous? β
"What kind of jealousy do I have for work?" Xu Shi shook his head.
"Really?"
"Really."
Xu Shi nodded one after another, and then pretended to be careless: "But I think he seems to have something to think of you, you should pay a little attention." β
"Didn't you say you weren't jealous?"
Xia Yao made a naughty expression with a happy expression: "Don't worry, I'm not a little girl, besides, aren't we all engaged?" What are you afraid of? β
"What am I afraid of?"
Xu Shi still stiffened: "It's just an ordinary reminder to you." β
"Then I won't accept your reminder."
The two of them are like ignorant young people who have just fallen in love, and their naΓ―ve and simple mouths are full of happiness.
The estrangement that has not been seen for a long time has also disappeared without a trace at this time.
Although Xu Shi didn't set a location in advance, now he no longer worries about money, so he naturally took Xia Yao to a nearby high-end restaurant and asked for the best location.
"Actually, we can sit in the hall, and the food here is a bit expensive." Xia Yao fiddled with the menu.
"Isn't the scenery here?"
Xu Shi looked out the window, and from here he could see the night view of Xingfeng City: "It's rare to come out for a meal today, I invite you, don't care about the price, just order it." β
Xia Yao glanced at him: "Sao Bao, what kind of scenery do you want for dinner?" β
Xu Shi didn't say anything, but a warmth rose in his heart.
This is among all the women around him, and it belongs to Xia Yao's concern for Xu Shi.
She can not care about the taste, or she can not care about the view...... But she cares about Xu Shi very much, even if she knows that she has money, her past experience makes her unconsciously want to save money for Xu Shi.
After ordering, Xia Yao's eyes fell on the window, looking at the night scene, stunned.
And Xu Shi just looked at Xia Yao like this.
The delicate jawline, the beautiful side face enough, and the hair fluttering gently, made Xu Shi obsessed.
Suddenly, a sense of guilt surged in Xu Shi's heart.
When he was in the company before, he was ashamed to say that he was engaged to Xia Yao, but after this meal, Xu Shi had to confess everything about himself to her.
"What's wrong? Got something on your mind? Xia Yao noticed Xu Shi's strangeness.
"Nope." Xu Shi shook his head, he hadn't figured out how to talk to Xia Yao yet.
Xia Yao smiled: "Xu Shi, you have something to hide from me, although you have changed a little now, you are still you, when I saw you in the company, I knew that you must have something." β
"I ......"
Xu Shi smiled bitterly.
At this time, the waiter also brought the dishes up.
Looking at these valuable dishes in front of him, Xu Shi couldn't raise his appetite.
Or Xia Yao took the initiative to put the dishes in Xu Shi's bowl and said softly: "We have come all the way, what else can't we say?" β
Xu Shi lowered his head, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth: "I may be going to marry someone else." β
Bang Dang!
The chopsticks fell to the center of the plate with a crisp and piercing sound.
Xu Shi didn't dare to look up at Xia Yao.
"You ......"
Xia Yao trembled all over, and even her voice could not be avoided: "What did you say?" β
"It's a bit complicated, and so am I...... In spite of oneself. β
Xu Shi took a deep breath and raised his head: "I encountered some things in the officialdom, and it was difficult for me to solve them on my own, and my options were limited, so I ......"
Halfway through the words, Xu Shi couldn't go on.
Because he saw the tear stains on Xia Yao's cheeks.
"I'm sorry." Xu Shi sighed.
If he really had a choice, how could he do this to Xia Yao?
But this is the safest and most suitable path in front of Xu Shi.
I don't know how long it has been, Xia Yao picked up the chopsticks again, and the tears on her face were wiped away at some point, except for the red and swollen eyes, she couldn't see anything unusual.
"Let's eat first, order so many dishes, don't waste it." Xia Yao tried her best to control her emotions.
This sentence made Xu Shi almost unable to hold back.
