He didn't think about anything just now, he just said something casually, and he didn't expect that his words would hit Tang Nuanhua's pain point.
Helpless, Xu Mo had no choice but to apologize to Tang Nuanhua immediately, "I'm sorry, young lady, I didn't mean it just now."
"It's okay." Tang Nuanhua shook his head and did not blame Xu Mo.
She just took a deep breath, then forced herself not to think about the unhappy things, and said in a relaxed tone, "Keep driving, I'm hungry."
"OK!"
Xu Mo didn't say much, and then concentrated on driving.
Ten minutes later, Times Square.
Several people finally landed in Times Square, and then several people got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Tang Nuanhua asked casually, "Chu Chen, do you know any delicious restaurants nearby?"
"Of course, I've eaten almost all the restaurants around here. I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Chu Chen replied with a smile.
After that, he led the way, taking Tang Nuan, Lin Nanxiang, Xiaoxiang and Xu Mo to find a more authentic Hunan restaurant.
"Should we eat Hunan food? I heard that Hunan food is very spicy. Chu Chen, can you eat spicy food?"
After a while, Chu Chen and a few people found a Hunan restaurant. When they entered, Lin Nanxiang was still doubting Chu Chen's ability to eat spicy food.
Chu Chen nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course, Nan Xiang, you may not have seen my ability to eat spicy food, but you will know in a while."
"Really? You'd better not turn into a sausage mouth at that moment, otherwise I will laugh at you mercilessly!" Lin Nanxiang said with a smile.
Hearing this, several people around laughed.
After that, Tang Nuanhua directly opened a private room, and then several people went in and sat down to eat.
The only person who didn't sit down was Xu Mo.
He stood upright from the moment he entered the door, his slender figure standing there motionless like a chopstick.
It seemed that he did not intend to sit down and eat with Tang Nuanhua and others.
Tang Nuanhua thought Xu Mo was seeing someone else, so he smiled and said, "Xu Mo, come here and sit down with us to eat, otherwise the food will be served soon."
"No, I don't have this habit." Xu Mo shook his head subconsciously.
Every time Li Jingyi ate, Xu Mo would stand next to him. This had become his habit, so he was not used to eating with everyone.
He was still used to standing silently next to him, as invisible as a robot.
However, Tang Nuanhua didn't think so. She asked, "Have you already eaten?"
"No, I just don't have such a habit." Xu Mo explained calmly.
As a result, Tang Nuanhua was not happy when she heard this. She pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Xu Mo, are you trying to see us?"
"That's right, Mr. Xu, you see we are all sitting down, why don't you sit down with us and have something to eat, you haven't eaten anyway, right?" Chu Chen said next to him.
In fact, Chu Chen was very open to outsiders. After all, it was better not to overstep the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
However, as Tang Nuanhua acted informally again and again, Chu Chen now felt accustomed to eating at the same table with Tang Nuanhua.
Seeing that Xu Mo was unwilling to sit down, he couldn't help but follow the instigation, "Come on, come on, why are you so polite?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu, even I have sat down. If you don't sit down, it will be so embarrassing standing there."
At this time, a weak voice spoke.
The people around him were slightly startled when they heard this voice, and then looked at Dong Xiaoxiang in unison, as if they didn't expect that Dong Xiaoxiang would actually say this.
However, Dong Xiaoxiang just looked at the only empty seat next to her, thinking that it would be great if someone could sit here.
If this person is Xu Mo, then it would be better.
"But I... okay."
Xu Mo originally wanted to refuse, but when he opened his mouth, he saw four people around him looking straight at him.
It was as if he had become a sinner if he did not sit down to eat.
Helpless, Xu Mo couldn't bear the glare in his eyes, so he walked over willingly and prepared to find a seat to sit down.
However, there was only one vacant seat left at the scene, and that was the vacant seat next to Dong Xiaoxiang, and on the other side of this vacant seat was Lin Nanxiang.
Ahem...
Xu Mo thought to himself that as a man, it would not look good if he sat between two women.
So Xu Mo simply said to Lin Nanxiang, "Miss Lin, I want to sit with Mr. Chu. Can I trouble you?"
"Oh, okay no problem!"
Lin Nanxiang immediately understood what Xu Mo meant when he heard this, and then immediately gave up his seat and sat next to Dong Xiaoxiang.
Little did they know that the moment Lin Nanxiang came closer, Dong Xiaoxiang's heart, which was still cheering, suddenly dropped.
Damn it!
She originally thought that if Xu Mo was willing to sit down, he would definitely sit next to her!
If this is the case, how happy it would be!
Alas, what a pity.
But Dong Xiaoxiang is not the protagonist of this dinner after all, so even if she is dissatisfied in her heart, she still has to show a bright smile on the surface.
As the protagonist of this dinner, Tang Nuanhua's smile seemed to be somewhat melancholy.
Yes, she really couldn't be happy, but she still tried her best to smile and said to everyone, "Hurry up and order. Eat whatever you want. I'll treat you."
"OK!"
With Tang Nuanhua's words, Chu Chen was naturally very happy.
So everyone happily ordered the dishes next, and everyone seemed to be quite happy.
But in fact, each of them has their own thoughts in their hearts.
Tang Nuanhua still couldn't completely stop thinking about unhappy things, although he could temporarily avoid his emotions and pretend to smile.
But in her heart, she was still a little depressed.
Although Lin Nanxiang looked happy on the surface, her eyes were constantly paying attention to Tang Nuan's paintings, as if she was afraid of what would happen to Tang Nuan's paintings.
Chu Chen was the same. On the surface he was happy, but deep down he felt something was wrong.
The eldest lady was in a very low mood today. Although Lin Nanxiang was very happy, there was always a little bit of perfunctoriness in this happiness.
However, Chu Chen didn't know what happened and didn't dare to ask. He could only try his best to act as a happy nut among the crowd.
As for Xu Mo, needless to say, this was his first time sitting down to eat with a group of unfamiliar people, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
