Compared with Lou Minglang's gaffe, Jiang Rui and Lou Wenyuan seemed much calmer.
Jiang Rui glanced at him and turned her head, admiring her newly-made nails in front of the light, looking like she didn't care.
Lou Wenyuan nodded at him, just like an elder seeing an ordinary junior, "Minglang also came to eat?"
Lou Minglang didn't speak, whether he didn't hear or what, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Rui.
Lou Wenyuan didn't take it seriously. Externally, he has always been gentle and tolerant.
On the other hand, Jiang Rui finally gave Lou Minglang a right eye, and said a word with red lips fluttering, "Is it polite for you, your third uncle is talking to you."
Those who don't know this, think she is also Lou Minglang's elder.
Lou Minglang's face twisted for a moment.
When he saw the scene of the two of them sitting opposite each other from a distance just now, he thought he had seen it wrong.
In his impression, Zhou Qiaoqiao had always been afraid of Lou Wenyuan, and even hated him a little for his own reasons. Not to mention Lou Wenyuan, when have you seen him eat alone with a woman
These two people, one is his third uncle and rival, and the other is his childhood sweetheart's ex-fiancee, but with their backs to him, in this romantic restaurant, they chat happily under the ambiguous lights, but whenever he is impulsive The temperament, I am afraid that he will immediately rush forward to question.
However, he and Lou Wenyuan were worthy of being uncles and nephews. Even if the hands hanging down beside him trembled with emotion, even if the blood all over their heads poured into their heads, they would not be able to tear off the epidermis covering their faces.
He quickly recovered his gaffe expression, only the corners of his mouth were still a little stiff, and greeted the two again, "Uncle Third, Qiao Qiao, it's such a coincidence."
Lou Wenyuan nodded, "Are you alone or with friends? Would you like to sit together?"
Lou Minglang's forbearance was good, but he actually sat down, "Then I'll disturb you."
"If you know that you are disturbed, you have to rely on it." Jiang Rui said rudely.
Lou Wenyuan glanced at her, "Don't be rude."
It's just that although the words are teaching people, the tone is softer and more like asking her if she wants to drink water. Anyone who comes here can hear that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
Jiang Rui stuck out her tongue at him playfully.
Lou Minglang's temples were throbbing, and the corners of his mouth were twitching unnaturally. He looked at Jiang Rui, his tone was gentle, and he seemed to ask casually, "Why is Qiao Qiao having dinner with the third uncle today, is it just a coincidence? superior?"
"How can there be so many coincidences, of course it was an appointment, and not only today, we have been eating together before." Jiang Rui raised her eyes to look at him, her words a bit provocative.
Lou Minglang smiled stiffly, "When did you and the third uncle get to know each other so well?"
"It won't be long." Jiang Rui rubbed her chin and thought for a while, "Probably less than a month?"
Lou Minglang took a deep breath and asked again, "Have you been busy lately? I don't have time for appointments with you."
"I'm not very busy, I just don't want to see you." Jiang Rui didn't save face for him at all.
"Jojo," Lou Ming frowned, "We—"
Jiang Rui interrupted him, "You and I have broken off our engagement, so don't keep your mouth shut and let us be misunderstood."
"I didn't want to break up the engagement with you, you know the reason." Lou Minglang said eagerly.
"What's the reason, I forgot, or you can tell me again?" Jiang Rui took a sip of water indifferently.
"I-"
Lou Minglang was speechless because he and Jiang Rui both knew that the reason he said was Lou Wenyuan. In his description, Lou Wenyuan is a big villain, a big devil, and at this time, the villain devil is sitting on the side, looking at them with a smile, how can he tell
Jiang Rui smiled: "Look, you forgot, right? Forget it, forget it, it's already in the past anyway, so why bother."
"Jojo, don't do this to me." Lou Minglang looked at her painfully.
"You are really annoying." Jiang Rui suddenly put down the water glass, frowned, and said impatiently, "Is it still possible to let people have a good meal?"
Lou Minglang was suffocated.
This was the first time that Zhou Qiaoqiao had spoken to him in such an indifferent and impatient tone.
In memory, he had said this to her during a few quarrels. How did she react at that time? As if crying and running away.
At that time, he still felt that she was squeamish and ignorant. But when the same thing happened to him, he realized how hurtful the indifferent tone and impatient words were.
At that moment, he almost felt that his heart was blocked, even more sad than seeing her and his third uncle sitting and eating together.
It was not until this moment that he realized what position Zhou Qiaoqiao was in his heart.
He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and raised his face with a smile, "It's my fault, I shouldn't say those unhappy. Would you like to go to sea together on the weekend and give me a chance to apologize?"
"Going to sea?" Jiang Rui seemed a little interested, and turned to ask Lou Wenyuan, "Do you want to go?"
"No," Lou Wenyuan said with a mild expression, "We have plans for the weekend."
Jiang Rui pouted in disappointment, "It's boring, I won't go if you don't go."
"Then go see Rhett, do you remember that puppy we sent to the rescue station together." Lou Minglang said again.
Hearing him talk about dogs, Jiang Rui remembered something and asked Lou Wenyuan, "Where's the cat you kept? Where did it go?"
Lou Wenyuan's expression didn't change: "I'm getting old."
"Oh... yes, it's been ten or twenty years."
Seeing her ignoring him, Lou Minglang's expression was a little sad, and what else should he say, it happened that dinner was on the table, so he had to stop for the time being.
The three of them dined separately, and no one spoke. Halfway through, Jiang Rui got up and went to the bathroom.
Lou Minglang also put down his knife and fork and said sorry.
Lou Wenyuan was the only one left at the dinner table. He slowly raised his head and watched the figures of the two turn around the corner one after the other, and their traces were hidden. The curvature of the lips has not changed, and the light gray pupils are hidden behind the lenses.
"Jojo, Jojo..." Lou Minglang quickly caught up with Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui ignored him, and finally turned around until her arm was pulled, "What are you doing?"
"Qiao Qiao, what is the relationship between you and the third uncle?" Lou Minglang asked with pursed lips.
"Do you have to break the casserole and ask to the end? Or is it that you can't see such an obvious thing?"
"How is this possible? I don't believe it!" Lou Wenyuan said excitedly, "Qiao Qiao, are you mad at me, right?"
"Who do you think you are, it's worth betting on myself to be angry with you?" Jiang Rui asked coldly.
"Then why did you do that?!"
"Because I'm happy, is this reason enough? I'm happy, I can do whatever I like. I suddenly found Lou Wenyuan to be a good person, so I like him."
Lou Minglang's eyes were red, and his palms were clenched into fists, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Do you know who the third uncle is? He is scarier than the devil, even his own mother. How could someone like that be someone? Like him? Jojo, you must still love me, you still love me, right?"
"Who gave you confidence and thought I had to like you? Hurry up and look at yourself in a mirror. Also, it's best not to speak ill of Lou Wenyuan in front of me in the future, or I'll tell him one by one. Think about it, what would happen to him if he knew what you said to me?"
Jiang Rui took a step closer and whispered softly: "Do you remember what you said? You said that he stole the property belonging to your father, that he was not filial, that he was so angry with Mr. Lou, and that he treated his biological mother to death. You can be ruthless, I can remember all these words, if he finds out, do you still have such a cool and happy life now?"
Lou Minglang stood still.
Jiang Rui chuckled, "So, why don't you force people to tear their skins. Please leave consciously for a while, and don't disturb the world of the two of us."
The words "two-person world" were almost like a needle, stabbed into Lou Minglang's heart, causing him to shiver. He finally didn't even dare to look at Jiang Rui again, turned around, walked in a hurry, and left in despair.
Jiang Rui washed her hands and returned to her seat humming a song.
"In a good mood?" Lou Wenyuan looked at her for a long time and suddenly asked.
Jiang Rui nodded, her eyebrows soaring, "I received a gift from you today, and a happy thing happened. Of course I'm in a good mood."
Happy things.
Lou Wenyuan savored these words in his heart.
Is it something that makes people happy, or is it… people who make people happy
"Why are you ignoring me when I'm talking to you?"
He returned to his senses, "What?"
"It's a matter of courtesy. Originally, it was you who helped me buy things, but you didn't charge me, so I can't take advantage of you in vain. When are you free, can you go out to play?"
Lou Wenyuan shook his head, "No need."
Jiang Rui pouted and said, "What you tell me the most is no, no, no, when can you say yes, yes."
Lou Wenyuan did not speak.
Jiang Rui was bored for a while, and seemed to remember something happy again. She hummed a little tune again, and the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy.
Lou Wenyuan glanced at her again, lowered his eyelids, and took away the coldness in his gray pupils.
After dinner, Jiang Rui took Lou Wenyuan's car back to the apartment. When she got downstairs, she turned to invite him: "Would you like to go up and have a seat?"
Lou Wenyuan looked at the front, and there was no emotion in his words, "No need."
Jiang Rui no longer insisted, and waved at him, "Be careful on that road."
She stood where she was, watching the black car pull away, suddenly raised her lips and chuckled, "You're not young, you don't have a big heart."
However, this is not enough.
