"So, you have no objection to the marriage?" Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, leaned on the bar, and looked lazily at the woman opposite with his deep eyes.
"No." Mo Liangyan turned sideways and met his gaze. "Of course, if you have any objections, or if you have other women you want to marry, I can..."
"I didn't." Tang Yi seemed to dislike her remarks. Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her impatiently.
After putting down the coffee, the distant and indifferent look on Zhao Chuning's face when he greeted him in the morning came into his mind.
His expression became even colder, and he glanced at his watch. "It's about time. Let's have lunch together."
"Sure, I don't have anything to do lately."
"How about eating in our company cafeteria?"
"I have no objection." Mo Liangyan nodded and couldn't help but joked, "However, how could a picky young master like you be willing to condescend to go to the cafeteria?"
Tang Yi took a windbreaker from the hanger and put it on, explaining casually: "The company cafeteria just opened these two days, and I'm inspecting it."
That makes sense.
Mo Liangyan followed Tang Yi out of the office. Chen Li came up immediately, "Mr. Tang, do you need to arrange lunch in..."
"The company cafeteria."
Chen Li was surprised and said hurriedly: "Then I will call the cafeteria right away and tell the chef about your preferences."
"No need." Tang Yi stopped Chen Li, "It's just a simple meal, no need to mobilize so many people."
Chen Li didn't go to inform them. But, it's impossible for the CEO to go to the cafeteria in person without mobilizing a large number of people, right
As expected, when Tang Yi arrived at the cafeteria, everyone automatically saluted. The chef came out in a hurry and wanted to lead them to the VIP room, but Tang Yi refused. He just looked around, paused for a moment, and then chose the most eye-catching table to sit down - this was the only way to the cafeteria exit.
Mo Liangyan followed his line of sight and saw Zhao Chuning at another table. She was eating with her head down. Everyone around her was looking in their direction, but she seemed to be unaware and just continued to eat without moving.
Mo Liangyan raised her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but look at Tang Yi twice more, but Tang Yi had already turned his gaze away, with a cold and arrogant attitude.
Finally I know why his eldest master, contrary to his usual behavior, is willing to come to the company cafeteria to eat.
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Yi glanced at her.
"Nothing." Even though she saw through it, Mo Liangyan was still a little afraid of Tang Yi's temper and would not say anything. However, she was really looking forward to seeing what kind of person could control such a temper.
"Let's order. What do you want to eat?" Mo Liangyan took the menu and flipped through it.
"casual."
"Well. Anyway, your purpose of coming here is not to eat." Mo Liangyan said meaningfully.
Tang Yi raised his eyes to look at her. She smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You, the eldest master, are here to sympathize with the people. Did I say anything wrong?"
——
Here, even though Zhao Chuning was concentrating on eating with his head down, he was aware that two illustrious figures had come to the cafeteria.
Because the people around her kept reminding her.
"Is that Mr. Tang's fiancée, our future president's wife?"
"Yeah. I heard that they are going to get married soon! They must be rushing to date before the wedding."
"Pfft~ I almost thought that our president's wife was going to be replaced!"
"Come on, some people just have wild ideas, and you are really following their daydreaming!"
These words were suggestive, mocking, and sarcastic. As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Chuning. But Zhao Chuning was like nothing had happened, and just continued to slowly finish the last bite of his meal.
No one noticed her heartbroken and miserable look. Instead, everyone looked as if it had nothing to do with her, which made people feel embarrassed and bored.
I don’t know if it’s real or fake!
Zhao Chuning finished her meal, took her plate, and stood up to leave the cafeteria. When she left, she had to pass by the table where Tang Yi and Mo Liangyan were sitting.
She never looked away, her expression calm. When she was about to pass by them, a voice called her.
"Secretary Zhao."
It’s not Tang Yi, but Mo Liangyan.
Zhao Chuning's hand holding the plate froze for a moment. But it was only a brief moment. Soon, without anyone noticing, she smiled again and greeted politely, "Ms. Mo."
His gaze naturally turned to Tang Yi, "Mr. Tang."
Tang Yi had a gloomy expression and stared at her coldly.
Her gaze did not stay on Tang Yi for even a second, but she said to Mo Liangyan: "Sorry, I was just thinking about work and was a little distracted. I didn't notice you were here."
Mo Liangyan stood up with a smile.
Even though Zhao Chuning and Tang Yi were only addressing each other as "Mr. Tang", she could already sense the strong collision between the two. Moreover, it was obvious that the high-handed and cold-hearted Tang family's fifth master was clearly at a disadvantage at this moment.
"I heard before that you are no longer Tang Yi's secretary. I think it's a pity."
Before Zhao Chuning could speak, Tang Yi smiled and said, "What a pity! My current secretary is very competent."
The smile on Zhao Chuning's face did not fade at all, "That's good."
Tang Yi clenched his teeth and stared at Zhao Chuning coldly. He had an urge to tear off the disgusting smile on her face.
Zhao Chuning seemed to be completely unaware of his emotional changes and even added fuel to the fire: "By the way, I heard that you two are getting married soon. Congratulations."
She spoke to Mo Liangyan very sincerely.
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Liangyan could feel the violent aura burning in Tang Yi.
She shuddered and regretted that she should not have called Zhao Chuning just now. She originally wanted to give them a chance to talk so that Tang Yi could save face, but now it seemed that she had made things worse.
"Thank you. Then... I'll eat first and won't keep Miss Zhao." Mo Liangyan had no choice but to let her go first.
Zhao Chuning nodded, then walked away calmly in her high heels as if nothing had happened.
Only when she turned around and walked out of the cafeteria, making sure that no one could see her anymore, did her straight back slump down heavily, and the smile on her face froze, unable to smile anymore. She leaned against the window, took a few deep breaths of the cold air outside the window, and finally recovered.
However, the heaviness in my chest did not dissipate at all.
On the other side, as soon as Zhao Chuning left, Tang Yi threw down his chopsticks and left. The head chef came over and saw that the dishes on the table were still untouched. His face suddenly became as sad as if he had lost his parents. He asked timidly, "Boss Tang, how do you like the food for lunch today?"
"You failed every time! If you make something taste like this again tomorrow, you won't have any work to do."
"…" The chef almost cried when he heard this. He really used all his best skills!
