The look in Qiao Mingye's eyes was so genuine that if Xia Wan'er hadn't listened to him completely, she would have been fooled by him.
"Your trick of getting rid of the donkey after it has done its work is really not new." Yuan Qingzhou chuckled.
Qiao Mingye spread his hands disapprovingly and said, "I think you look a lot like a donkey."
Xia Wan'er held her forehead with her hand, unable to bear to complain about these two men who were obviously very charming and handsome, but seemed very childish at this moment.
She herself was also very upset. What she didn't expect was that Yuan Qingzhou was actually invited by Qiao Mingye. When she woke up, the two of them had no communication at all.
Looking at these two people now, they seem like playmates who have grown up together and they like to bicker with each other when they see each other.
She had no way to deal with Qiao Mingye and didn't know how to respond to him or reject him.
When she was distracted, Qiao Mingye put his arm around her shoulders and said to Yuan Qingzhou.
"Let's go and eat."
"I have to pick someone up. You guys go first. Just send me the address later." Yuan Qingzhou said, looking at the time.
Qiao Mingye nodded and took Xia Wan'er away first: "Then let's meet at the old place."
"Shouldn't we go with him to pick them up?" After getting off the underground garage, Xia Wan'er realized that she hadn't formally thanked Yuan Qingzhou yet. When she turned around, Yuan Qingzhou was nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Mingye placed her bag on the back seat, protected her head, and waited until she sat in the passenger seat before he gently closed the door and went around to sit in the driver's seat.
"No, we'll see each other soon anyway."
"Why, do you know the person he is going to pick up?" It was the first time that Xia Wan'er saw a look of fear in Qiao Mingye's eyes. After putting her coat away, she asked casually.
Qiao Mingye suddenly came closer to her and smiled, "Come closer."
Xia Wan'er, who was leaning against the car window, was stunned for a moment, then moved stiffly towards him: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Mingye smiled, reached out to pull the passenger seat belt, and said calmly: "Of course I know the person he is going to pick up. She is a troublesome person, so it is better for you to have less contact with her."
"oh."
After he said that, Xia Wan'er became curious.
But seeing that Qiao Mingye didn't seem to want to mention it, she didn't ask any more questions. She would see him soon anyway: "Where are Ran Qin and the others? Aren't they going to eat together?"
"Isn't it enough for you to have me protecting you?" After fastening her seat belt, Qiao Mingye's eyes fell on her chest. His eyes dimmed and his voice was hoarse: "It's pretty."
Xia Wan'er looked down and realized that she had not buttoned her clothes just now. She thought he was praising her pendant and nodded, "Yes, this little wooden sign is simple, but the shape is very special. I like it very much."
This small pendant is a small ornament that the original owner never took off. It doesn’t look like a valuable thing, but since the original owner treasured it so much, it must be of great commemorative value.
Xia Wan'er tried to recall the origin of the small wooden sign, but she couldn't think of anything and felt a bit of a headache.
After buttoning her clothes, Xia Wan'er looked up and saw Qiao Mingye staring at her with burning eyes.
Her heart tightened and she subconsciously stepped back.
"Remember, you can only wear high-necked clothes outside in the future." Qiao Mingye gently rubbed her swollen lips and said kindly, "We still have to go to dinner later, so I'll let you go this time."
Xia Wan'er couldn't help but argue: "Isn't my dress high enough? If you hadn't torn it open, would it have been like this?"
"That makes sense." Qiao Mingye started the car and said thoughtfully.
It was rare for Qiao Mingye to agree with Xia Wan'er's words, which greatly boosted her morale.
Before she finished cheering, she saw Qiao Mingye calling Nanfeng and asking the top 200 female clothing stylists under Qiao to match a set of the most popular, conservative and good-looking clothes according to Mrs. Qiao's size and send it to her.
"What else can you do?" Xia Wan'er was very surprised.
Qiao Mingye hung up the phone, with a charming smile on his lips: "I'm afraid that I might tear it up sometimes, so I put a few more sets in the car and room, just in case."
