Chapter 991: Suspicion
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Ming saw the awkwardness of the lobby manager, so he smiled at her. “I will call Guo Jianchao in a while. You don’t have to worry about it. Just simply arrange a private room for us.”
Yang Ming had a fixed private room on the top floor of Tavern Heaven on Earth. However, at the moment when Yang Ming said this, the lobby manager knew that Yang Ming definitely didn’t want to bring people to the four-person private room on the top floor. Therefore, she nodded and led them to a private room on the second floor.
“Di di …” A sound from the mobile phone text message rang. Luan Xiaoru quickly took her phone out of her handbag, pressed the reader, and saw the message on it. Suddenly her face changed, and she glanced strangely at Yang Ming. Then, her expression returned to normal in an instant, and she pressed the delete b.u.t.ton to clear the message.
“What’s wrong, Xiaoru?” Jing Xiaolu watched Luan Xiaoru play with her phone, so she asked casually.
“It’s nothing…” Luan Xiaoru shook her head and smiled. “My husband sent me a text message and asked me what I am doing!”
” Hehe , then why don’t you hurry and reply to him?” Jing Xiaolu smiled and said: “Right, I have never seen your boyfriend yet. If we have the opportunity, let’s go out and play together!”
Jing Xiaolu patted Yang Ming’s shoulder and spoke very intimately. Yang Ming was secretly helpless for a moment. Is this Jing Xiaolu not finished?
“Don’t care about him. He is busy all day!” Luan Xiaoru smiled. “Let’s talk about it later when we have a chance.”
Jing Xiaolu nodded and didn’t ask anymore. In her opinion, Luan Xiaoru’s relations.h.i.+p with her boyfriend was probably not very good. When asked, Luan Xiaoru didn’t say much. Jing Xiaolu just knew that her boyfriend was working as sales in a company. He was busy every month, and he had very few holidays, but his salary was quite high. It was more than two hundred thousand a month.
“Do you want to ask him to eat together with us?” Yang Ming said with a smile.
“Him?” Luan Xiaoru shook her head and said, “Forget it. I want to break up with him anyway.”
Break up? Yang Ming was stunned. He looked at Luan Xiaoru inexplicably. However, this was other people’s business. Although it was strange, it had nothing to do with Yang Ming.
Yang Ming called Guo Jianchao and told him that he was eating at Tavern Heaven on Earth. He also said that he didn’t have to come over. It was just a few friends who were having some lunch together, nothing special.
Guo Jianchao noticed that Yang Ming did not want to look for him, so he let him be.
During the meal, Yang Ming intentionally observed and found that Luan Xiaoru had a good self-cultivation, both her dining posture and the speed of eating were very elegant. But in comparison, Jing Xiaolu was worse. She ate whatever she found delicious, and she ate with enjoyment. However, in contrast, Yang Ming still thought that Jing Xiaolu was cute because Yang Ming was an informal person.
“Yang Ming, your family must be very rich, right?” asked Luan Xiaoru.
“Why do you say that?” Yang Ming asked faintly.
“The manager of a small jewelry company would not receive such a high-standard reception in Tavern Heaven on Earth, right?” Luan Xiaoru smiled. “Although I am not a high-ranking person, I’ve seen it on TV. Your ident.i.ty must not be simple!”
Yang Ming shook his head and suddenly smiled. “I am just familiar with the owner of this hotel. It is no big deal. However, Miss Luan, looking at your dining posture, you should have received a good education, right? Is your family environment not very simple too?”
Luan Xiaoru was surprised and immediately said, ” Hehe , you said this, hehe . I recently fell in love with a Korean drama, and I saw that the lady inside is like this. So, I learned it, hehe …”
“Yes, Xiaoru often secretly watches Korean dramas in the office!” Jing Xiaolu teased.
Who knew that Luan Xiaoru would not show weakness, so she sarcastically said, “I don’t know who it is who played QQ games during working hours and was caught by President Hou several times?”
“You play games at work?” Yang Ming turned his head and glanced at Jing Xiaolu.
Jing Xiaolu very embarra.s.singly lowered her head. “I only play occasionally. I only play after the company’s task is finished.”
“Don’t play anymore. Although I introduced you to Hou Zhenhan… in general, don’t think he would not dare to fire you.” Yang Ming didn’t want Jing Xiaolu to feel special.
“Okay, I got it.” Jing Xiaolu nodded.
In fact, playing games and watching movies in the office was often done by many white-collar workers when they went to work. The company’s CEOs would turn a blind eye to it as long as it did not delay normal business affairs. After all, their daily work pressure was very high. There was not much time to relax, so it was reasonable to relax occasionally.
Yang Ming naturally knew this, but some things should be explained to Jing Xiaolu, lest other colleagues use her as an example. If so, the company could be finished.
Before the meal was finished, Luan Xiaoru received a text message. After reading it, she apologized, “I’m sorry. I have important matters to deal with.”
“You, dead chick. Is your husband looking for you?” Jing Xiaolu asked with a smile.
” Hehe , I am leaving first!” Luan Xiaoru stood up. She did not admit nor deny it. When she left, she did not forget to glance at Yang Ming and say, “Thank you for your hospitality. Next time, I will treat both of you.”
Although she said both of you, Luan Xiaoru’s eyes were directed at Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s face still had an indifferent expression and not the slightest change.
After Luan Xiaoru left, Jing Xiaolu was displeased, “This dead chick. Originally, I wanted to treat her for a meal, but she left first.”
“Xiaolu, how did you and she meet?” Yang Ming did not care about the displeasure of Jing Xiaolu, but asked.
“Xiaoru had been in the company. When I first came to the company, I sat with her. She helped me a lot with some things that I didn’t understand!” Jing Xiaolu said, “What about it?”
“It’s nothing.” Yang Ming shook his head, maybe he was too nervous. However, Yang Ming also regretted that he did not see the contents of Luan Xiaoru’s first text message. Otherwise, he would not be so skeptical.
“What’s wrong with you? Why do I feel that your mood is not good?” Jing Xiaolu didn’t know what Yang Ming was thinking, so she asked disgruntled, “Do you think it is boring to eat with me?”
” Hehe , no.” Yang Ming regained his usual expression. Recently, he was indeed a bit suspicious. A little bit of change would trouble him to investigate it. Although this kind of consciousness was good, it also brought a lot of inconvenience to himself. “I just think that this Luan Xiaoru is somewhat inexplicable. How do you eat half-way and then leave? What else is there that needs to be done even if you don’t eat?”
“She is like this. Sometimes, when she is at the company, she runs nervously to the bathroom after she receives a text message. Hehe, I am used to it.” Jing Xiaolu smiled. “I think, on the surface, you see that she does not care about her boyfriend, but she really cares very much. This kind of person is a hypocrite. Unlike me, I say whatever there is to say! Hey, I say, Yang Ming, how far am I from being your lover?”
“A hundred and eight thousand miles!” Yang Ming said with a bad tone. He did not know what messy things were in Jing Xiaolu’s mind. She could not live life normally, so she just had to be someone else’s lover. Wasn’t this a mental illness? Moreover, she was now a small white-collar worker in a company that everyone admired, and her income was not low. There was no need to rely on anyone else to live.
” Hehe , a hundred and eight thousand miles, that is also a chance!” Jing Xiaolu smiled. “Progressing a little each day would be getting closer to the goal. People can travel around the world in eighty days. I, Jing Xiaolu, also can! ”
Yang Ming was so angry that his nose almost snorted after he heard Jing Xiaolu’s words. What is the logic of this? I don’t know if she really can’t understand what I say, or she understands it but acts as if she doesn’t know. In short, it’s really speechless.
“You want to be my lover so much?” Yang Ming stared at Jing Xiaolu with a squint and said helplessly, “Do we have an emotional foundation?”
“Is it impossible without an emotional foundation? Can’t emotions be cultivated?” Jing Xiaolu said without fear.
“How do you cultivate it?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “And I think that you are doing well, and there is no need to choose this path.”
“That’s fine. This is what you say. If I find out that you got together with a girlfriend without any emotional foundation, then you have to… have me!” After Jing Xiaolu heard it, she did not show weakness and spoke.
“Why should I promise?” Yang Ming momentarily had a headache.
“It’s what you said. It is impossible when there is no emotional basis. However, if you have precedents, you can’t use this reason again, and you must let me be your lover!” Jing Xiaolu said.
“Okay, as you wish.” Yang Ming was a little impatient and had to wave his hand. However, he thought in his heart, Even if there is such a precedent, you may not know.
Chen Mengyan was a casual affair, and it had nothing to do with Jing Xiaolu.
Although Lin Zhiyun was first pushed down, it was only a misunderstanding. Later, feelings were established, and then they were together. Moreover, for Lan Ling, it seemed that this was the case. However, Lan Ling was in Yunnan in the Miao Village. Even if you were exhausted, you probably could not find her. I could not find her, let alone you.
As for Xiao Qing, that love had also developed from a brother and sister relations.h.i.+p, so it didn’t count. Sun Jie was even more so; he sent flowers every day to chase after her. It seemed that he had not successfully pursued her.
And for w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, although she was his lover, she was also his partner. It was obviously different. Yang Ming also did not believe that Jing Xiaolu and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan could have an intersection.
Then there was Huang Lele, far away in Macau. Now she already went to Singapore. Where would Jing Xiaolu find out about it?
Therefore, after Yang Ming felt that there was no mistake, he agreed to Jing Xiaolu’s request.
