Lan Yanxi stood there blankly, not knowing whether she should sit down or not. Cheng Yuan, on the other hand, was secretly happy for her;
In the end, Lan Yanxi still sat in her seat. Immediately, someone shot her a look of sympathy.
Being asked a few questions by the Vice President later, he wondered if she would have the courage to answer.
In this group of people, Qiao Zhuo"s gaze seemed to be downcast, but he was thinking about something else.
He wanted to see if Ling Mofeng would have any interactions with Lan Yanxi when they arrived. He wanted to see how they would act.
Cheng Yuan saw Lan Yanxi smile from time to time. She quickly turned around and whispered in her ear, "Yanxi, Qiao Zhuo has been keeping an eye on us. You have to be careful not to let him find out about your relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Ye!"
The smile on Lan Yanxi"s face stiffened when she heard Cheng Yuan"s words. She glanced at Qiao Zhuo from the corner of her eyes. Sure enough, Qiao Zhuo was staring at her without blinking. She instantly felt disgusted.
Qiao Zhuo was not done yet, wasn"t her rejection obvious enough? Why did he always feel that he still had a chance?
Ten minutes later, the door of the private room opened to the sides and Ling Mofeng and his team entered. Qiao Zhuo suddenly saw a familiar figure: it was Zhang Lu. He also came along with them, which made Qiao Zhuo feel more confident.
Ling Mofeng only brought three people with him today. Two of them were his aides, and the other one was Zhang Lu. He was the envoy that accompanied them this time, so naturally, they would have di
er together.
On the surface, Zhang Lu was extremely respectful to Ling Mofeng, making it hard for others to tell that he had a different personality.
The moment Zhang Lu entered, he glanced at Qiao Zhuo. Qiao Zhuo"s dejected mood seemed to have been saved and became full of fighting power.
When Ling Mofeng came in, his gaze was not directed at anyone. He was accompanied by two aides and sat on the absolute main seat. Zhang Lu smiled as he sat beside him.
"Don"t be nervous, it"s just a simple meal. To be able to eat with one"s own compatriots in a foreign land is truly a joyous and enjoyable thing!" After Ling Mofeng sat down, he casually spoke with a smile.
Everyone knew that Mr. Vice President was a modest and amiable person, his temper was also as warm as jade. Furthermore, he was around the same age as some of the people present, so it was inevitable that there was a lack of pressure.
Lan Yanxi was anxiously waiting for Ling Mofeng to come meet her. However, Cheng Yuan"s reminder made her tense up. She sat motionlessly in her seat and didn"t even glance at Ling Mofeng.
"Mr. Vice President is a very easy-going person. Everyone can speak freely and freely, no need to be restrained. If you have any work matters, you can talk to Mr. Vice President."
Ling Mofeng"s thin lips slightly pursed, and his eyes finally couldn"t help but look at Lan Yanxi who was a spot away from him. Why did this little woman sit like a statue and didn"t move at all, she didn"t even take a sip of water, her eyes were lowered as she looked at the dishes on the table, very focused.
Although Ling Mofeng was extremely patient, at this moment, the woman he loved did not even give him a single glance. The man was still worried.
"Cough ??" Ling Mofeng intentionally coughed softly to hint at Lan Yanxi.
As expected, Lan Yanxi understood what he meant and turned her head to look at him. Unfortunately, there was no trace of emotion in her large, s.h.i.+ny black eyes. She only faintly swept her gaze over his face before retracting it.
Ling Mofeng"s mind instantly became chaotic. This little girl had performed very well today, she could even pretend better than him.
Ling Mofeng could tell that Lan Yanxi really didn"t want to show any intimacy with him. It was really a
oying. At this moment, Ling Mofeng wanted to get rid of all the people that stopped them from falling in love.
Lan Yanxi glanced at him and saw his concern for her from the man"s eyes. She couldn"t stop laughing in her heart. She didn"t know how Ling Mofeng felt from how cold she acted.
However, she believed that he would definitely understand her. Otherwise, he wouldn"t be so indifferent to her.
Zhang Lu began to initiate some conversations. Several departments put forward some useful suggestions. Zhang Lu asked the people around him to help record down the information and expressed his approval of them.
As the delicious dishes started to arrive on the table, Lan Yanxi"s beautiful eyes immediately widened. She was a little hungry, how could she bear to see so much delicious food?
Ling Mofeng couldn"t help but curl his lips when he saw her unrelenting expression. The essence of being a glutton could be reflected anywhere. This little girl was hopeless.
Actually, Lan Yanxi and Ling Mofeng had the same thought and didn"t look into each other"s eyes. Cheng Yuan, on the other hand, couldn"t stay silent.
To her, the delicacies in front of her had no power of attraction at all. From start to finish, her gaze would inadvertently fall upon the Lieutenant Chu.
It was unknown if Cheng Yuan"s gaze was too pa.s.sionate as she looked over at him, but Chu Mu suddenly turned his head and met her gaze.
Cheng Yuan"s heart instantly exploded. Her mind was completely blank. She was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe. She quickly lowered her head. There was nowhere for her to hide her gaze.
His hands, which were placed on his knees, were tightly clenched. His healthy and fair face was also flushed red with embarra.s.sment.
When Chu Yu saw Cheng Yuan"s reaction, he was slightly stu
ed. A red cloud rose up on her face. It was difficult for him to not see it even if he wanted to. He suddenly felt that Cheng Yuan was a little cute.
After a table full of delicacies, everyone forgot their worries and the atmosphere at the scene. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started to eat.
Ling Mofeng also moved his chopsticks. However, he ate in an indifferent ma
er. His pair of dark eyes would occasionally look at Lan Yanxi beside him.
Lan Yanxi"s expression became more natural. When Ling Mofeng looked at her, her peripheral vision had already received the signal. However, she couldn"t look him in the eye. She was afraid that her pa.s.sion would spill out.
Qiao Zhuo and Zhang Lu were secretly observing the expressions and eyes of Ling Mofeng and Lan Yanxi. Until now, they hadn"t seen anything wrong, they only saw Lan Yanxi"s every move and expressed interest in Ling Mofeng, while Ling Mofeng was even more calm and collected, and didn"t go and say anything to Lan Yanxi very eagerly. The two of them were clearly very close to each other, but it gave people a strange feeling.
As it was di
er time, there was naturally a lot of wine on the table. When Lan Yanxi brought out a gla.s.s of red wine and was about to drink it, Qiao Zhuo"s voice suddenly sounded, "Yanxi, you have a cold. It"s better if you don"t drink it.
Lan Yanxi"s hand that was holding the wine cup stiffened slightly. She raised her head and looked at Qiao Zhuo. Qiao Zhuo quickly carried a cup of hot tea to her side, acting very gentle and considerate.
"Qiao Zhuo, don"t be like this!" Lan Yanxi frowned and whispered.
Qiao Zhuo, on the other hand, wanted to be nice to Lan Yanxi in front of everyone. Only by doing this could they misunderstand that he and Lan Yanxi were close, and that there would be a bit of a scandal in the future.
The handsome face of the man in the host"s seat instantly darkened as a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
Qiao Zhuo, on the other hand, seemed unafraid of death. He carried away the red wine beside Lan Yanxi"s hand and returned to his seat.
Lan Yanxi didn"t expect Qiao Zhuo to take her seriously. Before she could react, he s.n.a.t.c.hed away her red wine and gave her a cup of hot tea.
Everyone around them had strange expressions on their faces. They could tell that Qiao Zhuo was courting Lan Yanxi, and Lan Yanxi didn"t seem to reject him. They wondered if there was any chance of that happening.
Zhang Lu watched the scene with satisfaction. Qiao Zhuo was quite quick-witted, knowing that he had to fawn on Lan Yanxi in front of everyone, but ?? Ling Mofeng"s expression was a bit ugly.
