Lorraine and Pan Ting took a sip of the red wine in their hands.
Putting them down together, the two looked at each other again.
In fact, although neither of them spoke just now, none of their thoughts were idle.
Both of them were observing each other secretly. Although Pan Ting admired Lorraine in her heart, but... her admiration was still at the stage of love at first sight. It's very interesting to say that when Pan Ting was talking to Lorraine just now, and when she was silent before, she was quietly looking for Lorraine's shortcomings.
Look for some flaws that are clearly annoying to her.
But unfortunately... she didn't find it. For more than ten or twenty minutes, she couldn't find any obvious shortcomings in Lorraine. This made her feel very complicated, a little helpless and a little happy.
She likes Lorraine, but... why should she look for flaws in Lorraine
Mainly because from the bottom of her heart, she still doesn't want others to control her. And her inner admiration for Lorraine puts her at a disadvantage all the time. At least, when it comes to getting along with Lorraine, she never has much initiative. There is a saying that is very good, at this time It's quite suitable to use on Pantene. That is - winning or losing in love depends on who is sincere and serious first, you lose.
To use the most intuitive analogy, if Pantene and Lorraine both hold a knife in their hands.
Under certain circumstances, they are required to stab each other to death, otherwise, they will die. Although Pan Ting's love for Lorraine is not enough to sacrifice herself for each other, but... Pan Ting, who obviously has personal feelings for Lorraine, will definitely show a trace of hesitation when going under the knife. .
However, that moment of hesitation was absolutely fatal.
Lorraine has no feelings for her, so Lorraine will definitely stab her with the knife without mercy.
Fortunately... Now that the Pan family has taken the initiative to make friends with the Luo family, Pan Ting no longer needs to worry about those close encounters, at least for the time being.
Panting wanted to find shortcomings in Lorraine so that she could dislike Lorraine more or less. This would make her love for Lorraine less. Unfortunately, this contradictory plan failed.
From the time the two people sat together to now, the actions and expressions Lorraine showed, to put it bluntly, in Pan Ting's eyes, there was no discomfort at all. On the contrary, there were many actions that Pan Ting could see. My heart couldn't help but move.
It seems that the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder is absolutely true. From the moment Pan Ting fell in love with Lorraine, it was destined that Pan Ting's thoughts were often beyond her own control. This kind of unrequited love is really ironic when placed in a very rational and noble woman like Pantene.
"I heard that Miss Pan once studied in the United States?" After Lorraine put down the wine glass, he squinted his eyes and slightly raised the corners of his mouth to watch the performance of the restaurant band. Suddenly, he remembered something, then turned to Pan Ting and asked with a smile.
In fact, just now, it was not only Pan Ting who continued to observe Lorraine, but Lorraine was also looking at and observing Pan Ting carefully.
Of course, Lorraine's purpose and excellence in observing Pantene are completely different from Pantene's observation of herself.
After all, in Lorraine's heart, the Pan family has always been her future enemy, and Pan Ting is the daughter of the Pan family. It is said that every member of the Pan family is a very powerful person. Apart from the most powerful King Pan, there is also Pan Jiajun, the eldest young man in the capital. Pan Ting is the third person in the Pan family.
Yes, it is no exaggeration at all, at least in terms of reputation, Pantene is in third place.
For such a woman, Lorraine has always been puzzled. What kind of abilities and potential does she possess to occupy such an important position in the talented Pan family? After some observations just now, Lorraine came to a preliminary conclusion: this Pantene is a talent, and she is definitely the best among women.
Vision is a very subtle thing. Lorraine has had a very unique vision since his rebirth. To put it bluntly, from the time Lorraine started to become a well-known young man and business wizard in the capital, his vision has never been the same. Missed it, years of experience and intuition told Lorraine that this Pan Ting was also a woman with a hint of courage in her bones. If she were a man, her achievements would not necessarily be inferior to Pan Jiajun.
For extremely talented women, Lorraine had seen two of the most incredible talents so far.
One is Han Xuan, and the other is Pan Ting in front of him at this time.
"Yes, I once studied in the United States." Pan Ting pursed her lips and smiled enchantingly. Suddenly a subtle look flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Mr. Luo, why did you suddenly ask me this question? Did you hear that? Have you heard any strange rumors?"
This is asking knowingly.
When Pan Ting asked this question at this time, she looked at Lorraine's expression specifically, but found that Lorraine was not moved at all, and still had that indifferent smile.
Lorraine shook her head gently, waved her hands and said: "Haha, I know what Miss Pan meant. It would be too hypocritical if I said that I haven't heard some strange rumors. I have heard some It’s not a good rumor, but that doesn’t mean it’s my opinion. In my opinion, there are always various rumors in this world, and even for one person, there will be more than a dozen versions. These They are just chatting topics for those who like to gossip. I never pay attention to baseless rumors. Therefore, the first impression of Miss Pan is mainly about this meeting and the relationship between us. Communication should start from scratch. Whether I make friends or contact people, I will only judge the person based on my subjective judgment. After all, this is a one-sided matter. The evaluation of a third party will not be included. It is very foolish to let it influence your own opinions. From the simple conversation I just had with Ms. Pan, I can see that Ms. Pan is a very good lady."
"Oh? Mr. Luo seems to be a very generous person, and his perspective on things is indeed different from other people. No wonder, Mr. Luo is extraordinary. No wonder the achievements you have made cannot be imitated by others." Pan Ting's There was no change on her face, but her heart suddenly surged again.
A voice in her heart sighed helplessly: Hey~~~ Lorraine, Lorraine, can you stop saying that? So what if you just say you care? At least it will make me discover the flaws in your character - the way you look at my reputation now, aren't you the kind of good man I told my father that doesn't care what other people say
"Haha, Miss Pan deserves the award. These things are just a way of showing off to me from the outside world. It seems to me that what I have done is far from enough." Regarding my own affairs, as well as my own attitude towards my career. , Lorraine just said it casually and stopped there. After all, Pan Ting is a member of the Pan family, and Lorraine must keep a hand for the other party at all times.
"Well, Mr. Luo, I see that you are also a straightforward person, so... let's talk openly. This time my father sent me to meet you. Do you know in what name?" Pan Ting said again. With the red wine in the glass in his hand, he looked at Lorraine with a charming look.
Lorraine smiled lightly and said: "I know, blind date? Marriage?"
"Yes, what do you think?"
"I feel that many things begin with communication. I feel that our Luo family and your Gui family have always been in different positions with no overlap, but this time, the two of us can sit at the same table, eat, drink and chat. , it’s already a big improvement. Personally, for now, it’s pretty good.”
"Same feeling." Pan Ting's beautiful and charming face smiled slightly and her shoulders shrugged slightly, looking very free and easy.
"So... let's talk about something else?" Lorraine continued the topic.
"Okay, what to talk about?"
"Like, soul music?"
"Well, or jazz."
"What a coincidence? Soul and jazz are my favorites."
"In this way, Mr. Luo is a man with elegant taste and unique style."
"Haha, he's just a vulgar person who enjoys himself."
… …
In this way, Lorraine and Pantene's first contact, which truly represented the Luo family and the Pan family, went on under this seemingly boring topic.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
They know very well that it is useless to say anything else. First of all, they are not here with the attitude of blind date and marriage. Lorraine is not, and Pantene is not for the time being. They are all doing things for their family's position and the current situation. It's a symbolic act, so it's much better to talk about some common interests and hobbies than to talk about their careers. After all, both parties are very aware of the uncertainty in this strange relationship. Talking about career may accidentally step on landmines.
What's very interesting is that Lorraine and Pantene actually have many similar interests, especially in literature and art.
In this way, time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was late at night.
Originally, the two of them planned to leave at nine or ten o'clock and then go home separately, but...
Unfortunately, a resident singer from the United States suddenly appeared in the band of this stylish restaurant.
To be precise, a pianist and singer.
It's a black man.
With a pure and authentic gospel voice, he sat in front of the piano and played lazy and charming jazz music with just a few casual strokes. Coupled with his solid singing skills, he directly caught the ears of Lorraine and Pantene. .
Therefore, the two of them tacitly made no proposal to leave. Instead, they sat silently in their seats and looked in the direction of the singer. Their minds were already immersed in the beautiful music.
ps: Due to extra updates during this time, life is also very busy, and the time difference is reversed. Today is an early update again, sorry. This is the first update. ~
