With Love and Time

Chapter 184: Hongmen Banquet

Views:

I went to work at the company the next day. At around ten o'clock, Luo Xiangdong called me to go to his office. I asked aloud: "Mr. Luo, is the coffee made according to the customer's taste?"

Luo Xiangdong said: "Make it according to your taste."

As soon as I heard this, I knew there was no one else in his office.

After carrying two cups of coffee and walking in, Luo Xiangdong sat on the sofa and waited for me. I looked at the various breakfasts and side dishes on the coffee table and couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked, "Did you buy them?"

Luo Xiangdong said: "Otherwise? Did you buy it?"

I pouted, and after sitting down, I said, "Don't you always like to buy cakes for breakfast? Why did you change it to lunch?"

Luo Xiangdong said: "I'm asking you to eat and you're talking nonsense. I won't go out without eating."

I said: "Who says I don't eat? If I don't eat, I won't eat." As I said that, I picked up the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in my mouth.

Now that I have become familiar with Luo Xiangdong, my words and actions are naturally not as reserved as before, and I tend to do whatever I want.

Luo Xiangdong also picked up his chopsticks, and we ate and chatted face to face.

With food in my mouth, I said vaguely: "My mother called me and said that she would send me some pickles made from my milk in the mail recently. I will bring them to you when the time comes. Pickles made from my milk, then It’s really amazing, you haven’t tasted it for so many years.”

Luo Xiangdong said: "Thank you for your milk for me."

I said, "It's okay. Just give her a few ginseng roots as a return gift later."

When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he couldn't help but glare at me, and then said: "You are really getting thicker and thicker now."

I smiled and replied: "Make the best use of everything."

Luo Xiangdong said: "Zeyu and the others are still planning to go to Wang Laowu for dinner. You can invite them later. Aren't you getting a lot of salary now?"

I raised my eyebrows and replied: "What, you want to exploit me so soon? Who among you is not richer than me? You still have the nerve to exploit the working people."

Luo Xiangdong said: "It's true that the more money you make, the more stingy you get. I used to pretend to be the same, but now it's been exposed as time goes by. If I ask you to invite me back, I'll kill you if I catch up."

I said, "It's not that I don't want to invite, but I'm with you guys. If I pay for a treat, it will make you lose face. I'm doing this for your sake."

Luo Xiangdong immediately replied: "No, we are thick-skinned and don't care what others say. You can invite us as long as we want. We can afford it."

I knew that Luo Xiangdong didn't really want me to treat him, and it wasn't that I really didn't want to treat him. It was just that as soon as the two of us got together, he started to be stubborn. It seemed that he couldn't show his language skills without leaving anyone speechless. talents.

While we were chatting, most of the food on the table was already gone. I felt so full that my stomach ached. I leaned back on the sofa and said with satisfaction, "You shouldn't buy so much. It's a waste if you can't finish it."

Luo Xiangdong didn't eat as much as I did. Hearing this, he teased: "Your food intake is equivalent to the normal amount of three women. If I don't buy more, you won't be full and you will accuse me of being stingy." ”

Hearing this, I looked unhappy, frowned and said, "Who can eat enough for three women? I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it and it will be wasted!"

Luo Xiangdong said: "When Du Ting eats with me, she won't use her chopsticks more than twenty times."

He suddenly mentioned Du Ting, and I felt unhappy subconsciously. I suppressed the strange emotions and deliberately said something to him: "You like models. Models eat so little, like rabbits. How can I compare with them?" ?”

Luo Xiangdong suddenly raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and then said: "It is indeed like a rabbit. He basically doesn't eat meat, and the vegetables don't need to be dipped in oil."

I said, "Don't you feel sick to your stomach when eating with them?" I asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Luo Xiangdong replied casually: "So I will have dinner with you when I have time."

I looked at the sarcastic smile on his face and thought that he was here to indulge me.

I rolled my eyes at him and admitted that I lost a round this time due to a moment of negligence.

When I was thinking about how to get back, my phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw the caller on the screen: Du Ting.

I glanced at Luo Xiangdong in front of me out of the corner of my eye, and felt terrified that Du Ting had discovered him.

Standing up, I said to Luo Xiangdong, "I'm going out first."

Luo Xiangdong was very keen. He said: "Whose phone number?"

I said oh, and then said: "It's a call from a friend."

Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes and asked with displeasure, "Isn't it Ji Guanxin?"

I said, "No. I'm going out first."

After leaving Luo Xiangdong's office, I answered Du Ting's phone and said as usual: "Miss Du."

I felt a little uneasy because I didn't know why Du Ting called me suddenly.

Soon Du Ting's voice came from the phone. She said, "Ms. Liang, I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

I smiled lightly and replied, "No, is there anything wrong with Miss Du?"

Du Ting said: "Oh, if Miss Liang doesn't have an appointment at noon today, I would like to ask you out for a meal."

Du Ting invited me out for dinner... I rolled my eyes, and many thoughts quickly flashed through my mind.

For example, why did Du Ting ask me to have dinner? Is it because Luo Xiangdong saved me first before saving her the day before yesterday, so she suspected that I had an affair with Luo Xiangdong

The silence lasted only two seconds, and I quickly replied: "I have time at noon, where can we meet?"

Du Ting said: "Qingfengzhai, upstairs in the Yage."

I said, "Okay, I'll go there after get off work at noon."

Du Ting said again: "Miss Liang, please don't tell Xiangdong about my appointment with you, okay?"

As soon as she said this, I became even more suspicious. What on earth did she want to do

Sure enough, there is some telepathy between women, so when I just received a call from Du Ting in Luo Xiangdong's office, I instinctively chose to hide it from him.

After responding, I said, "Okay, I didn't tell Mr. Luo."

After making an appointment with Du Ting, I hung up the phone and became anxious. The most fundamental reason for being anxious is because I have a ghost in my heart. They say that when a woman looks at a woman, she will be right at first glance. I thought it was a good idea to hide my love for Luo Xiangdong, but what if Du Ting finds out

She invited me over today, wasn't she going to talk to me about Luo Xiangdong

With an uneasy heart, I immediately took a taxi to Qingfengzhai as soon as I got off work at noon.

Qingfengzhai is the most famous vegetarian restaurant in Night City. The vegetarian dishes here are more delicious than meat, and they are also many times more expensive than meat.

People like Du Ting are like a living golden rabbit.

When I came to the door of the Accord upstairs, I knocked on the door and then pushed it open and went in.

Du Ting wore a beige cashmere senior dress that covered her ankles. The tight-fitting design outlined her tall and perfect figure even more fiercely.

She stood up and greeted me, with a smile on her face with exquisite makeup.

I carefully observed her expression and movements, thinking that this was not a prelude to a fight.

"Ms. Liang, I'm sorry that you have to come here all the way when you are so busy." Du Ting said very politely.

I said, "Where? It's not far from Luo's. It's easy to call a taxi when you go out."

Du Ting said: "I just came out of the studio. I only have an hour at noon. I would like to treat you to a meal. Fortunately, you are free."

I smiled and replied: "Miss Du is too polite."

Du Ting said: "Last time in the holiday villa, thanks to Miss Liang risking her life to save me, my company suddenly had something urgent to call me back the next day, so I didn't thank you in person. Thinking that it was just the two of us today, I I really need to say thank you, and I also need to say sorry to you. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I will never forgive myself in this life. "

Du Ting spoke so seriously that I felt goosebumps all over my body.

After she finished speaking, I quickly replied with a smile: "It's okay. You have already thanked me before. Besides, I can't help you with anything. You don't have to blame yourself so much, otherwise I will be embarrassed too. "

Du Ting was still saying words of thanks, and she picked up several brand-name shopping bags from the chair next to her and handed them to me, saying: "Ms. Liang, I have been busy with work recently, and I don't have time to go out to the street to help you choose. Gifts. These are the brands I am currently endorsing. I think they are quite good, so I asked someone to get a set in your size. Don’t dislike it.”

From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the logos on the bags. They were all luxury brands, and each item cost at least tens of thousands.

I refused repeatedly: "No, no, Miss Du, you are really too polite, and you don't treat me as a friend."

Du Ting said: "Ms. Liang, I really regard you as a good friend, so I say whatever I want. I don't have many friends, and I can't even think of someone who can save my life like you. I I know that you have a good personal relationship with Xiangdong. If you call him brother, he will also treat you as sister. Unless you think I am not worthy of being your friend, you will accept it. "

I went, I only said one sentence, and Du Ting was waiting for me with the next ten sentences.

Now I was riding a tiger, and after a few seconds of embarrassment, I replied: "Miss Du, I accept your kindness, it's just a gift..."

Du Ting simply handed me the largest shopping bag, and then said: "You won't accept the perfume bracelet or anything, so I can give you some clothes, right? If you don't take this, it will really make me unable to get off the stage." "

I sighed secretly in my heart, thinking that this was the Hongmen Banquet. If you have short hands, you may not know what you will do for her in the future.

I reached out and took the shopping bag, smiled and said, "Thank you."

Du Ting finally smiled and said aloud: "The vegetarian dishes here are quite delicious. We always have to lose weight and cannot eat high-calorie foods, so we basically come here."

After that, she asked again: "You don't mind being a vegetarian, do you?"

I shook my head and replied, "No, it's good to be a vegetarian. It cleanses the intestines."

The two of us chatted together, and after a while the food came and we started eating again.

During the dinner, Du Ting pretended to be unintentional and said to me: "Miss Liang, can I ask you a favor?"

My first reaction was: It's here, it's here, I'm afraid of what happened, I just received her gift, and I have to do things for her before I even leave the house.

Thinking about this, I looked calm and asked tentatively: "What's the matter with Miss Du?"
