Jealousy was soaring!
In his line of sight, Xu Mingzhi finished speaking and took away the few tissues in his hand that he had already sweated from. He released the force in his other hand and w.a.n.g Yi fell back into his chair. The heat was coming out of his shirt collar.
Just as he was about to ask Su Ji what was going on, he turned around and saw Du Meilan sitting back in her chair. Her hand holding the tissue was slightly clenched.
A thread suddenly connected in his mind.
Looking at Su Ji’s meaningful smile, he understood.
The panic disappeared instantly. He sat upright and nodded at Xu Mingzhi. “You’re welcome, Ms…” He paused for a moment and changed his address. “Mingzhi.”
Du Meilan and Su Cunyi’s expressions changed at the same time.
Later, when the New Year’s bell rang at midnight, everyone else went to the balcony to watch the fireworks, but these middle-aged CEOs were still drinking.
Su Cunyi and w.a.n.g Yi drank a bottle of Maotai.
Su Cunyi was full of hostility. w.a.n.g Yi risked his life to drink with him.
However, the two of them were unexpectedly good drinkers. There was no way to determine the winner.
Du Meilan asked the housekeeper to serve a few more dishes with wine.
Other than the few reactions that surprised her at the beginning, she did not have any other reactions. She was completely different from Su Cunyi.
She spoke elegantly as usual and chatted with Xu Mingzhi about all kinds of topics with ease.
Just like that, the New Year’s Eve dinner finally came to an end. The servants had prepared the masters’ rooms.
Xu Mingzhi still insisted on returning to the Xu family. Although they had already become in-laws, it was not very polite to spend the night at her daughter’s in-laws’ house.
She was a person with a strong sense of boundaries.
Su Cunyi finally remembered the ancestors in the trunk. No matter what, he had to return to the Su family.
In the courtyard, the two of them were drunk as they waited for their secretaries to pick them up.
The wind on New Year’s Eve was particularly cold, and the smell of gunpowder lingered in the air.
It didn’t smell bad.
Su Cunyi was wearing a gray woolen coat. His short hair was neat and tidy, and his beard was neatly trimmed.
The collar of his shirt was clean, his shoes were clean, and his nails were equally clean.
Back then, Xu Mingzhi had taken a fancy to him because of this.
He was not a person who would pay special attention to these things, but the cleanliness and tidiness of his clothes were the same as his compliance with the rules and his self-restraint. It was a upbringing that had long been engraved into his bones.
People were always attracted to people who were the complete opposite of themselves. Just like how the obedient girls in the same school would like bad boys, Xu Mingzhi, who was rebellious, was attracted by Su Cunyi, who was very patient.
Although Su Cunyi was old-fashioned and had a poor ability to identify pretentious women, he did have his strengths. He had a temperament similar to a medieval aristocrat. He was emotionally stable, not anxious, and gave people a sense of security. No matter how big the company’s problems were, he could always handle them calmly. Even if the Su family faced the same tragic situation as the Jiang family one day, they would never see any embarra.s.sment from him.
Xu Mingzhi always liked to tease him, saying that even if he had to beg on the streets one day, he would still be well-dressed and be the most gentlemanly beggar.
However, it was also what Xu Mingzhi liked about him.
The cold wind blew, and the collar of Su Cunyi’s coat was lifted.
He turned his head and glanced at Xu Mingzhi. After a while, he looked at her again.
Xu Mingzhi was still wearing an autumn suit, which did not seem to have any ability to keep out the cold. However, she did not show any signs of cold. She stood stretched and had a lot of energy.
Su Cunyi pinched the coat on his body and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself a few times. He thought of Dr. w.a.n.g tonight and finally swallowed his words.
What replaced it was an arrogant question. “When will Wei Wei arrive? Your a.s.sistant is not efficient.”
Xu Mingzhi glanced at him and replied, “it’s none of your business.”
Su Cunyi:
He thought about it and asked unwillingly, “Dr. w.a.n.g, isn’t going to send you off?”
Xu Mingzhi hissed. “Su Cunyi, are you looking for a beating?!”
Su Cunyi:
His mouth was still the same. He deserved not having a wife.
A few minutes later, Su Cunyi’s car arrived first. When he got into the car, Xu Mingzhi’s phone rang.
It was Wei Wei.
As if to prove that her a.s.sistant was quite efficient, she deliberately picked up the phone before Su Cunyi’s car left and even turned on the speaker.
