Busy time always flies by so fast. Near noon, Zhou Ting called to remind him that the appointment time with Xia Xiaowan was coming soon. Gu Nianbin put down his pen, took the coat from the hanger, and walked out while putting it on.
He is a punctual person, always timed just right, neither early nor late, and arrived on time, and Xia Xiaowan was already waiting there just like last time. Seeing him, he waved lightly.
"Have you waited long?" Gu Nianbin asked her.
"No, it looks like you've only been here for two minutes." Xia Xiaowan answered him with a smile.
The waiter delivered the menu, and the two ordered quietly. Seeing that Xia Xiaowan ordered pork chop, Gu Nianbin couldn't help being a little surprised. There are very few girls who don't order beef steak and pork chop.
Xia Xiaowan saw his doubts and explained: "I have loved pork since I was a child, especially pork belly, which is very delicious."
"Don't you feel fat?"
"No way," Xia Xiaowan stretched out her hand to show him, "I've never been happy since I was a child, but God prefers it, and I'm not fat at all."
She moves casually and speaks naturally, just like talking to an old friend for many years.
Gu Nianbin smiled slightly, "A girl I know is just the opposite of you. She doesn't like pork but beef, and she won't gain weight."
Xia Xiaowan is a smart person, she didn't answer, she just looked at him with her chin on her cheek, as if she was waiting to hear a story.
Gu Nianbin never liked to go around in circles, he came here with the intention of getting straight to the point. Seeing Xia Xiaowan looking at herself while holding her chin, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "You are very smart, you know what I want to say!"
Xia Xiaowan switched hands, tilted her head, and avoided his penetrating gaze, "Yes, I know what you're going to say." She lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Actually, I've heard of you a long time ago, I have also heard the story between you and Miss Xia. I am very moved by Mr. Gu's persistence. It is a very happy thing to have a man who is so infatuated with himself. After hesitating, I agreed. And I have the same name as Miss Xia, so it must be a kind of fate."
She picked up the cup and took a sip of water, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "It's a pity, what you mean by taking care of Mr. Gu is that you don't intend to give me a chance, right?"
"I just don't want to delay you," Gu Nianbin said, "Your conditions are very good. I really can't find a reason to object, so I asked you to meet for a second time. If you refuse, I think it should be better."
Xia Xiaowan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, half serious and half joking, "What if I don't refuse?"
"You are joking?"
"No, Mr. Gu," Xia Xiaowan straightened her face, "I'm serious. In fact, I know that you have a five-year agreement with that Miss Xia, and there is not much time left. To be honest, I don't mind being Spare tire!"
"This is unfair to you." Gu Nianbin said seriously. "And it will delay you."
"It's okay," Xia Xiaowan said, "I'm twenty-six years old. Even if it takes a year, I can still get married. You don't have to worry about me." She paused, and then said, "Now, I want to invite you, Give me a chance, let's be friends first, get to know each other better, maybe, you will find that I am not bad, if that Miss Xia really doesn't come back, then at least there will be me, Miss Xia, what do you think? Mr. Gu !"
Gu Nianbin laughed, he really didn't expect Xia Xiaowan to say such a thing, he was at a loss for words for a while, the girl's eyes were full of sincerity, which made him unable to refuse: "Well, if it's just to be friends, I will I think it should be fine."
