On Friday night, Duan Shutong and Pei Ruowei came to the restaurant reserved by the company.
During this period of time, the turnover of Chunqiu Hall has increased sharply. Zhai Jun is rich and powerful this time, and the restaurant he ordered is one of the best in Shanquan County.
The employees of the company have worked in Chunqiutang for so long, and it is rare for them to be so excited, and they all behave super positively.
When Duan Shutong and Pei Ruowei arrived, they were almost all there.
As soon as the two entered the box, Zhai Jun toasted and shouted: "Come, come, everyone respect the two great heroes!"
The others obeyed the orders, cheered and stood up, the formation was very grand, Duan Shutong was not used to seeing it, but Pei Ruowei was a little uncomfortable, smiled shyly, picked up the boiled water that others helped pour, and raised a glass with Duan Shutong in return past.
The two men are handsome and beautiful, and they look quite right.
Some female employees who were far away gathered together and whispered.
"Director Duan is so handsome, he seems even more handsome today."
"Yeah, yeah, it's hard to see him when he's in the lab every day when he's at work, and I finally got to see him enough today!"
"Pei She is so pretty, too. I've only seen her photos before, but I didn't expect her to be prettier in real life."
"I heard that she is pregnant, but I don't know if it belongs to Director Duan, hehehe."
"Don't talk nonsense. I see people very accurately. There is no ambiguous atmosphere between them. They should be just friends."
Duan Shutong didn't intend to drink too much at first, but he was hiding something in his heart, and he didn't want to refuse someone toast him, so he drank one cup after another.
Although there was a smile on his face, Pei Ruowei could tell that he was not happy.
Taking advantage of the time when everyone was entertaining themselves, she approached Duan Shutong and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Duan Shutong was a little drunk, and looked over with hazy eyes, "What's wrong with me?"
The young man has a handsome appearance, and his slightly flushed cheeks do not show embarrassment, but unexpectedly make people feel cute. The gentleman who usually looks like a gentleman, now squints his eyes slightly, like a lazy cat hiding his thoughts.
Amused by her own imagination, Pei Ruowei shook her head, "It's nothing."
Having been with this person for so long, she has long seen that Duan Shao doesn't have the slightest affection for her now, so this concern must not be because of her.
She doesn't have a penchant for inquiring into other people's privacy, and since Duan Shutong doesn't want to talk about it, she won't keep asking.
Although Zhai Jun's mind is not as delicate as Pei Ruowei's, he has been holding Duan Shutong carefully all the time, seeing him leaning on a chair drinking a dull drink, he sneaks up to him and clinks a glass with him, "Could it be that this celebration banquet is not in line with Duan Shao's wishes? "
Duan Shutong smiled and shook his head, "The celebration banquet is very good."
Maybe it was because of his drunkenness, or maybe it was the first time he had a strange feeling towards someone. He urgently needed to find someone to talk to, so he half-opened his eyes, squeezed the wine glass in his hand, and sighed: "If I want to do a project, But reason tells me that I shouldn’t do this project, it’s not good for anyone, so should I do it?”
Zhai Jun's head got dizzy when he heard it. Does the Duan Crown Prince still have such troubles
"Is it a lack of funds or a lack of talent?"
Duan Shutong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at himself suddenly, waved his hands and didn't speak again.
Why did he tell people this? Can't just can't, how can there be so many ifs? Is it bad to have a career or to be friends
But thinking of the flutter and hug in the kitchen that night, Duan Shutong still took a sip of wine depressed.
Move out tomorrow!
When the celebration banquet was over, Duan Shutong was already dizzy, lying on the table with sleepy eyes.
If Pei Ruowei hadn't stopped him, he would have passed out from drinking.
Zhai Jun was about to call a car to take the two of them back when the phone on the table rang. He took a closer look and found that the caller was "Uncle Xi".
He couldn't help picking it up, so he motioned for Pei Ruowei.
Duan Shutong was obviously incapable of answering the phone, so she had no choice but to press to connect: "Mr. Xi."
The other end of the phone was obviously stunned, "Miss Pei? Where is Shutong?"
The man's voice was very low, Pei Ruowei could only feel a faint chill behind her back, and said honestly: "The company held a celebration banquet, Duan Shao was drunk."
"address."
Pei Ruowei quickly reported the name of the restaurant and ended the call.
Knowing that someone was coming to pick them up, Zhai Jun arranged for others to leave first. After a while, all the people in the box were gone, leaving only Pei Ruowei and Duan Shutong.
The young man was lying on the table, frowning slightly, his face was full of unhappiness.
Just as she was thinking wildly, she heard footsteps behind her, and she looked back.
A tall man came striding forward. Although he was only wearing low-key casual clothes, he was more stylish than those in suits and leather shoes. The warm light of the dining room shone on his expressionless face, which set off his aloofness and aloofness.
But the moment he saw the young man, his eyes softened.
Pei Ruowei: ... It feels weird.
She was as quiet as a chicken, and watched as Xi Duan picked up Duan Shutong's mobile phone, put it in his pocket, and stretched out his hand to help Duan Shutong stand up, then glanced at her, "Follow me."
Pei Ruowei quickly picked up her bag, and followed behind in disorder.
She didn't expect Xi Duan to drive over by himself, standing outside the restaurant, silently looking at the menacing man, almost gently helped Duan Shutong into the co-pilot, and put on the seat belt considerately.
Then he turned his head indifferently, "Get in the car."
Pei Ruowei: ...
He got into the car without any hesitation.
The freshener in the car made people sober up, Pei Ruowei shrank behind the co-pilot, treating herself as air as much as possible.
Duan Shutong opened his eyes, and found himself in the car in a daze, subconsciously looked at the driver's seat, first froze for a moment, then laughed, looking a little silly.
"How did you come?"
Xi Duan: "Take..."
"I know!" The young man interrupted him. Because of his excitement, he jumped on the seat and poked his forehead with his index finger. "You come to pick up Miss Pei."
Xi Duan: "..."
Pei Ruowei: "..." Injustice, too much injustice.
Before he had time to refute, the drunk young man asked again in doubt: "Where's Miss Pei? Why didn't you see her?" He looked around while asking.
Xi Duan frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel subconsciously.
Drunk and still thinking about Pei Ruowei, did he really give up
Pei Ruowei raised her hand weakly, "Young Master Duan, I'm behind you."
Duan Shutong: "... Oh, no, we need to change seats!"
According to his logic, Pei Ruowei should be in the co-pilot, and he should be in the back. Annoyed by his mistake, the young man stretched out his hand to open the car door.
"Duan Shutong!" Xi Duan said suddenly, his voice was deep and forceful, with hints of warning.
The young man seemed to be frightened, and quickly withdrew his hand, looking at him in a daze.
Xi Duan took a deep breath and calmed down, "Sit down obediently."
"oh."
The car drove into the villa area in a strange atmosphere and stopped in front of Duan Shutong's villa.
Pei Ruowei thanked her and got out of the car very consciously.
The sleepy young man on the co-pilot suddenly opened his eyes. Before Xi Duan could stop him, he unbuckled his seat belt and walked towards the courtyard door in a daze.
Pei Ruowei: "... Young Master Duan, where are you going?"
Duan Shutong looked innocent, "Go home."
Pei Ruowei: "..."
This sentence contains a lot of information, so she has to take it slowly. So, this villa is actually Duan Shao's, but he rented it to himself at a low price under the guise of a friend
Before she could figure it out, Xi Duan got out of the car and walked over, holding the young man's wrist, "Wrong way, your home is over there."
Duan Shutong showed aggrieved face, "Oh."
He felt that he was right.
Xi Duan got out of the car and led Duan Shutong to go home.
Pei Ruowei stood where she was, looking at the two figures hugging each other tightly under the street lamp, for a moment, she felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
After returning home, Liu Zhifei and Cen Ning came over to express their concern, Xi Duan asked Liu Zhifei to drive the car back, and then helped the young man upstairs.
After finally putting him on the bed, the young man blushed again, "Thirsty."
He poured a glass of water, lightly squeezed the bend of the straw, stared at the young man's prodding eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still like her?"
"who?"
Xi Duan bent down, his eyes darkened.
"Pei Ruowei."
