Chapter 608: Date
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
To the workers, there was no such thing as getting off work on time.
However, almost as soon as it was seven o’clock, Zheng Yue stood up from her desk without thinking and went straight to the clock-out area.
“You’re off work so early again?” The front desk lady at the counter was no longer surprised to see Zheng Yue pa.s.sing by.
Although the treatment in CG was generous and they didn’t advocate for everyone to work overtime, many people were very enthusiastic about the three times overtime pay. Therefore, most of them would stay behind to work overtime. They would only leave first occasionally when they had something to do.
Therefore, among the group of workers who worked overtime, Zheng Yue, who got off work on time every day, could be said to be especially out of place.
“Yes, I have an appointment tonight.” Zheng Yue nodded and punched out.
After punching out, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she used the elevator to go to the washroom on another floor. After confirming that her outfit today was correct in the mirror, she nodded in satisfaction and walked out.
In fact, not only did she have a date today, but it was also a very important date.
At seven o’clock, it was already close to night outside. Only the west was almost drowned in darkness with the last bit of red.
The shops and street lamps on both sides of the street had already begun to light up, emitting a gentle yellow glow. It contrasted with the sharpness of the sports car at the entrance of CG company.
A slender person with black hair and casual clothes leaned against the side of the sports car. He glanced in the direction of CG company’s entrance, clearly waiting for someone.
The security officer looked at the man who looked like a rich second-generation heir and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, wondering whose boyfriend of the staff in the company he was.
Before the security officer could come up with an answer, he saw Zheng Yue walk out of the elevator. Her footsteps were a little hurried as she jogged towards the man.
“I’m sorry, actually, you don’t have to pick me up like this.” Zheng Yue stood beside the other party with a slightly red face. “Where are we going today, Xu Le?”
The man named Xu Le shook his head indifferently. He didn’t feel that there was anything difficult about waiting for Zheng Yue.
He reached out and opened the door of the pa.s.senger seat. “Get in first. I’ll bring you to a restaurant I like for dinner today.”
Zheng Yue pretended to be dignified and sat in the front pa.s.senger seat. Her posture was extremely obedient, making her look like a Young Miss of a big family.
She didn’t ignore the surprised gaze of the security officer behind her. In fact, she felt even more superior.
Xu Le was someone Zheng Yue had recently come into contact with. Not only was his family well-off, but he was also pure. In addition, his face was also good-looking, which happened to suit Zheng Yue’s preferences, so she took the opportunity to interact with him.
As for her recent attire, it was also to integrate into the other party’s circle.
As the car slowly started and its speed soared, Xu Le casually spoke to Zheng Yue.
“I remember that you’re best friends with the Murong Family? Why did she make you work in her company?” Xu Le asked casually.
Speaking of knowing Zheng Yue, it was because they had met by chance once. Then, the other party said that she was Murong Qiao’s best friend, so he treated her as one of the socialites he had played with a few times.
Zheng Yue smiled in embarra.s.sment. “I just want to experience life.”
She didn’t look guilty at all after lying. She used an excuse to fool Xu Le and was still thinking about whether they could develop further today.
Thinking of the other party’s family background and wealth that was enough for her to squander her entire life, Zheng Yue couldn’t help but be tempted. Coupled with the fact that Xu Le was innocent and gullible, she was immediately tempted.
However, the two of them had only known each other for a few days, and Zheng Yue didn’t want to be too anxious.
“Oh,” Xu Le replied vaguely. “When we eat later, I happen to have some friends around. I hope you won’t mind.”
“They’re all people whom I usually play with together,” he said.
When Zheng Yue heard this, she was overjoyed. How could she shake her head and refuse?
However, she still pretended to be a little embarra.s.sed. “I’m fine. I just hope that if I go, I won’t cause trouble for them.”
“It’s fine.” Xu Le waved his hand.
Zheng Yue was about to say something when she heard Xu Le speak again.
“By the way, take a look at the box in front of the pa.s.senger seat.” He pointed out the location.
Zheng Yue looked puzzled. “Huh?”
She looked puzzled, but it didn’t delay her movements. There was a box in front of the front pa.s.senger seat, so its presence couldn’t be more obvious. Zheng Yue reached out and took it.
She subconsciously weighed it with her hand twice. It seemed to be a little heavy.
Xu Le replied casually, “Didn’t you say that you liked this necklace very much previously?”
“I pa.s.sed by the shop today and thought of what you said, so I went to buy one.”
He said it casually, but Zheng Yue’s eyes curved as she smiled, feeling very happy.
The last time Zheng Yue went out to play with Xu Le, she couldn’t help but praise the beautiful necklace.
However, the money she had at that time was not enough to buy that necklace at all, so it was a pity.
However, Zheng Yue didn’t expect Xu Le to notice this and even buy it for her.
It was impossible not to be surprised, but Zheng Yue still held back the desire in her heart and shook her head to express her rejection.
“I just thought it was quite beautiful at the time, but—” She tried to refuse.
Xu Le casually reached out and pushed the box into Zheng Yue’s arms. “No need. It’s not much to me anyway. Just accept it.”
“Besides, didn’t you treat me to a meal before?”
Seeing this, Zheng Yue could only pretend to be embarra.s.sed and accept the gift. She even took it out and looked at it lovingly.
However, in Xu Le’s eyes, this necklace was naturally nothing to Zheng Yue. However, she was so surprised when she received it and even took a few more glances. In Xu Le’s eyes, the meaning immediately changed.
Perhaps it was because he was the one who gave it to her that Zheng Yue liked it so much?
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, he heard Zheng Yue thank him.
“Thank you. No one has ever cared about me so much. I like this necklace very much. I’ll definitely keep it well,” Zheng Yue replied very seriously.
These words followed his thoughts just now and confirmed his reasoning.
“Cough…” Xu Le coughed lightly. He didn’t know what to say after being thanked by Zheng Yue.
However, he was also happy, so much so that he drove faster and arrived at the restaurant earlier than scheduled.
The restaurant was a five-star restaurant, and the private room was also the most luxurious.
Before Zheng Yue and Xu Le went, there were already a few Young Masters and Ladies inside.
“Why isn’t Xu Le here yet? When we played together in the past, he was the first to arrive.” A young lady asked.
A boy beside her waved his hand with a gossipy expression. “d.a.m.n, you don’t know?”
“He’s met someone in the past few days. There’s probably something going on.” The lady raised her eyebrows. “Oh?”
“Her name is Zheng something… I can’t remember. In any case, I think Xu Le might be a little moved.”
Speaking of the devil, the protagonist of their conversation pushed the door open in the next second and entered everyone’s vision.
“Sorry, I’m late today. It’s my treat.” Xu Le was very generous.
Zheng Yue stood behind him and also stuck her head out to greet them. “h.e.l.lo, everyone. My name is Zheng Yue..”
