With Love and Time

Chapter 176: Sooner or later this day will come

Views:

This familiar voice made me straighten my back subconsciously, because I immediately heard Luo Xiangdong's voice again, and he said, "It may not be possible this afternoon. I have something to do at the company this afternoon."

Du Ting let out an irritated 'Ah', and Luo Xiangdong immediately said: "But I'm free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If you want to go shopping wherever you want, I'll accompany you."

Du Ting quickly laughed after hearing this.

I could hear their conversations and footsteps getting closer, and I thought, what a mess.

Night City is so big that you can find it in any restaurant you choose. This is God deliberately trying to cause trouble for me.

Ji Guanxin was sitting across from me. I wanted to pretend I didn't hear or see it and just get by, but I just forgot that the person opposite me was Ji Guanxin.

When Luo Xiangdong and Du Ting walked a few steps behind me, Ji Guanxin suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Hey, what a coincidence?"

There was a thump in my heart and a slight buzzing in my ears.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

When Luo Xiangdong sees Ji Guanxin, of course he will see me. At this time, I can't even look back.

So I pretended to be calm, turned around, and without exception saw Luo Xiangdong and Du Ting, with Du Ting holding Luo Xiangdong's arm.

After seeing me, a flash of surprise flashed in Du Ting's eyes, then she nodded and said with a smile: "What a coincidence."

I thought to myself, what a coincidence.

I tried my best to raise the corners of my lips, and nodded politely to Du Ting, and then said to Luo Xiangdong, who was expressionless but sullen in his eyes, "Mr. Luo."

Luo Xiangdong was still reasonable and did not scold me in front of Du Ting, but he ignored me and walked past me with Du Ting.

I felt really unspeakably uncomfortable in my heart. The obvious sourness, accompanied by the pain of being pinched, started from the tip of my heart and spread throughout my body.

After they beat me for two or three seconds, I slowly turned around and sat down in my original position.

Ji Guanxin looked at me, his big single-lidded eyes were obviously bright. He first said "Hey" to attract my attention. When I looked at him, he asked gossipingly: "Who is Luo Xiangdong's girlfriend?" When did you return home?”

My heart was in turmoil, but my face remained normal, and I casually replied, "I don't know, I just saw it today."

Ji Guanxin said with a half-smile: "He likes those with thin waists, long breasts and long thighs. He is either a young model or a supermodel, and he even gets into trouble with the model industry."

I subconsciously replied: "They are 179, 78, 58, 85. Aren't you men all good at this?"

Ji Guanwen said, seemingly surprised, and raised his eyebrows and said: "How come you remember Du Ting's measurements so clearly? Could it be that you..."

He raised his chin slightly, with a meaningful look on his face.

I regret that I have a bad mouth and why I am so bitter with Ji Guanxin.

Rolling my eyes, I decided not to quibble, but replied half-truthfully: "How can I not pay attention to our boss's girlfriend? What's more, Du Ting is also a supermodel. I also want to know who she is. It’s not like the photos in the magazines.”

Ji Guanxin asked: "What do you think after meeting me?"

I replied calmly: "Didn't you see it too... I didn't say anything."

I really have nothing to say to Du Ting.

Firstly, she is Luo Xiangdong’s girlfriend, not mine. It’s never my turn to say yes or no. Furthermore, as both women, Du Ting is really the kind of person who stands next to her. From her height, As someone who dominates others, I finally understand why Luo Xiangdong said he was not afraid of Du Ting misunderstanding me, because there is really no comparison between the two of us. What I have, others also have, but what others have, I don’t have.

We agreed not to compare, but in my heart I still couldn't help but want to compare with Du Ting.

I lowered my gaze slightly, while dealing with Ji Guanxin, I had to think about Xiao Jiujiu in my heart.

Not long after, my phone rang. I took it out of my bag and saw that it was a text message from Luo Xiangdong.

I felt mixed, so I opened it and saw that Luo Xiangdong said: Liang Zijin, is the leather tight

I can think of the ugly expression on Luo Xiangdong's face when he sent this text message, but isn't he with Du Ting now? Why do you still have time to care about me

I think he was stuffed before he was full.

I wanted to reply to him, but after thinking about it, I simply put the phone back in the bag and ignored him.

Not long after, the waiter pushed the dining cart over to serve the food. I picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak in front of me. Ji Guanxin poured me a small half glass of red wine and said, "Are you free tonight?"

I didn't raise my head and just cut the steak on the plate, using the knife quickly and hard, as if I was trying to get angry with someone.

Hearing this, I replied aloud: "I'm not sure yet."

Ji Guanxin said: "Are you very busy at work now? I asked you ten times, and you were unavailable nine times."

I said, "You came out to me today, what did I say?"

Ji Guanxin said: "I'm really surprised today. I thought you wouldn't come out, but when I saw Du Ting just now, I understood."

After hearing his meaningful words, I couldn't help but raise my eyes and stare at him, and asked aloud: "What do you mean?"

Ji Guanxin looked calm and replied: "As soon as Du Ting comes back, Luo Xiangdong will naturally spend most of his time with her, and you will have more free time."

After saying that, he deliberately asked: "What do you think I mean?"

Ji Guanxin has always been a thief. If I get angry, it will play into his hands, so I lowered my gaze calmly, and after a few seconds I replied: "I told you the truth last time, Luo Xiangdong didn't want me to I'm playing with you, and I saw us having dinner together today. Maybe you will scold me when you get back."

I'm just trying to change the subject.

Sure enough, Ji Guanxin followed my words and said: "Why do you have to suffer the injustice at Luo's? Come to my company, I promise to provide for you and let you come out to play every day."

I raised my eyes and looked at Ji Guanxin, then replied with a slight smile: "Forget it, I didn't believe in pie-in-the-sky stuff until I was ten years old."

Ji Guanxin raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, no, you are always guarding me against thieves. Tell me, what do I want from you?"

Ji Guanxin's sudden words stopped me.

I thought about it carefully, yes, what did Ji Guanxin want me to do

Seeing that I was silent, Ji Guanxin said again: "We have known each other for a long time, right? Have you suffered any losses from me in this long time?"

I looked up at him and asked, "Tell me, if you don't want anything from me, why are you always pestering me?"

Ji Guanxin replied calmly: "The more you avoid me, the more I will chase you. If you don't avoid me one day, I will tell you to come out and you will come out. Maybe after ten days and a half, I will get tired of it and won't bother you anymore." I’m waiting for you to come out and play.”

He looked naturally shameless and looked like a bad boy who grabbed money in elementary school. When asked why he grabbed money, he said he wanted to grab money because others had money.

I was too lazy to quarrel with Ji Guanxin, lest I would be so angry that I wouldn't be able to eat anymore.

The restaurants here are some of the most expensive in Night City. You get what you pay for, and the food they make is exquisite and delicious. I thought to myself that the treat should not be wasted and I should eat more.

A bottle of red wine was also opened. If you don’t drink it, it’s useless. When Ji Guanxin saw me taking a small sip from the glass, he couldn't help but said loudly: "That's not how you drink red wine. Do you think it's beer?"

I said: "Children from poor families have never drunk red wine. They drink it as plain water."

Ji Guanxin smiled and said: "Then you, a child from a poor family, are quite capable."

I said, "I'm not afraid that you will drink faster than me. I'm not suitable."

Ji Guanxin raised the corners of his lips, with a big smile on his handsome face.

To be honest, when I was with Ji Guanxin, apart from having to be wary of him making any mischief, everything else was very comfortable.

In front of him, I had almost no disguise. I could say whatever I wanted without any cover-up, let alone pretense.

After the main meal is finished, the waiter takes all the plates down and waits for the desserts.

I stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Ji Guanxin smiled and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

I glared at him hard and didn't answer.

On the way to the bathroom, I saw Luo Xiangdong and Du Ting sitting at the table by the window. They had just finished their meal, and the waiter was clearing away the plates and cutlery.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, I stepped aside and walked to the bathroom without saying hello to them.

When I came out of the bathroom after using the toilet, I looked up and saw Luo Xiangdong standing not far away. Luo Xiangdong turned his head to look at me. Our eyes met, and I knew he must have come to block me.

My eyes dodge for a moment, but soon I stepped forward and called out, "Mr. Luo."

Luo Xiangdong stared at me expressionlessly and asked without answering, "What did you promise me last time?"

I knew he was talking about my promise not to play with Ji Guanxin again, so I pursed my lower lip and replied, "Mr. Luo, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time."

Luo Xiangdong said nothing and stood in front of me with his beautiful lips pursed, as if he was waiting for me to give him an explanation.

My mood was quite complicated. First of all, I felt that what I said was not true and I was going back on my word. But then I thought about it, and I realized that sooner or later, this matter must come to an end.

So I secretly adjusted my breathing and said what was in my heart: "You don't let me play with Ji Guanxin because you are worried that he is not a good person and will lie to me. I know you do it for my own good. But I know him well." It's been a long time. Apart from being a bit talkative, he doesn't have any bad intentions, and... he really hasn't done anything bad to me, so... "

So I think Luo Xiangdong can understand what happens next even if I don’t say it.

Luo Xiangdong had no expression on his face, put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at me and said, "So you are going to continue playing with him, right?"

Sometimes a man's expressionless face is the most terrifying, at least Luo Xiangdong's.

I was trembling in my heart. It wasn't that I wasn't scared. Besides, he hadn't turned against me for a long time, so I was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Just as I was hesitating to say something to lighten the atmosphere, Ji Guanxin's voice came from behind me. He said, "Luo Xiangdong, I have always thought that you have nothing wrong with you other than being a bit of a loser. I didn't expect that you would still be here now." I started a fight behind my back and did some things that women do. If you have any questions, just say it in front of me. Why bother Zijin?"
