He quickly stood up and walked towards Xia Mo with a smile: "Oh, Mrs. Ji, I'm so sorry, come on, come on, I'll push you over!"
After saying that, he took the handle of the wheelchair from Xie Yu with a diligent look on his face, pushed Xia Mo and walked towards Ji Xiuran's side.
Seeing Zhao Ningchu sitting next to Ji Xiuran, he thought that Zhao Ningchu was Ji Xiuran's assistant or secretary, coming to accompany him for drinks.
"Well, this lady, please move to the side, this is Mrs. Ji's place!"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly. Before she could speak, Xia Mo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where you sit. Xiaochu, you don't have to move your seat."
Zhao Ningchu chuckled, and Xia Mo said this as acquiescence, right?
What would happen if this man knew that flattery was on the horse's hooves?
For a moment, Zhao Ningchu had a nasty thought in his mind.
She glanced at Xia Mo silently, then glanced at Ji Xiuran, smiled and said, "Do you need me to make room for her?"
Ji Xiuran glanced at Xia Mo lightly, and then said: "She is not my wife!"
Following Ji Xiuran's words, Xia Mo's expression suddenly changed.
The man stood aside awkwardly, his eyes falling on Zhao Ningchu, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Who is this?"
Zhao Ningchu glanced at him, then looked at Ji Xiuran, and said half-jokingly: "Do I think you are so incompatible with me?"
Ji Xiuran smiled helplessly and reached out to help Zhao Ningchu set the tableware.
No matter how slow Mr. Zhang is, he still has some clues.
He should have noticed from just now that when Ji Xiuran looked at this girl, his eyes were different.
When Mr. Zhang thought about the mistake he had made just now, he suddenly felt uncertain.
"This must be Mrs. Ji!"
Zhao Ningchu looked at Mr. Zhang with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"
Mr. Zhang quickly bent down and stretched out his hand towards Zhao Ningchu: "Mrs. Ji, I'm so sorry. Mr. Ji hid you so well that I misjudged you just now."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Zhao Ningchu: "I, Zhang Hai, please forgive Mrs. Ji for causing such a thing when we first met!"
"Mr. Zhang, you are serious."
After saying that, he was about to reach out his hand to shake it politely, but before he could reach out, his hand was held by Ji Xiuran.
"Mr. Zhang, there's no need to shake hands. Let's sit down and eat!"
Zhang Hai retracted his hand in embarrassment and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes! I was negligent."
Sure enough, just like the rumors, Ji Xiuran doted on his wife very much.
When he thought that he had admitted the wrong person just now, Zhang Hai wanted to give himself a few big mouths.
If today's cooperation cannot be negotiated because of what happened just now, then his heart will be filled with regret.
Zhang Hai glanced at Xia Mo sitting beside him with his peripheral vision and snorted softly.
Then he pushed Xia Mo's wheelchair aside and sat in the empty seat on the other side of Zhao Ningchu.
Xia Mo's face became a little ugly. She didn't expect that the man who had been trying so hard to fawn over her just now would turn around and fawn over Zhao Ningchu.
She gritted her teeth with hatred, but since this was a public place, Xia Mo felt unhappy and could only smile on her face.
When Xie Yu saw this, he originally sympathized with Xia Mo at first, but Xia Mo didn't explain her identity just now and deliberately misunderstood others. He immediately felt that this woman was not a good person.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes. Zhao Ningchu looked at the table full of Western food and couldn't help but frown.
Since becoming pregnant, she has disliked eating Western food.
Zhao Ningchu looked at Ji Xiuran and whispered: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
Ji Xiuran heard this and stopped the waiter: "Give me the menu!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hai quickly spoke: "Mr. Ji, is the dish I ordered today not to your liking?"
"No, it's my wife. She doesn't like to eat Western food!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sorry, I was negligent. Waiter, bring the menu again!"
After the waiter brought the menu, Zhang Hai took it and handed it to Zhao Ningchu.
Ji Xiuran stretched out his hand and said calmly: "Give it to me!"
During the whole process, Zhao Ningchu didn't say anything, and Ji Xiuran was all helping her.
After ordering the dishes, Ji Xiuran said softly: "Eat some stuffing first. I ordered your favorite spicy shrimp for you."
“It’s so hard to peel off!”
'Wait a minute and I'll peel it for you!'
Zhao Ningchu chuckled: "Okay!"
"Would you like to try some steak?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded: "A little bit!"
Ji Xiuran smiled lovingly, picked up the knife and fork, cut the steak in front of him, and handed it to Zhao Ningchu.
When Zhao Ningchu saw this, he couldn't help but frown: "I said just a little bit, it's too much."
“You can eat as much as you can!”
"But it's such a waste."
"If you can't eat it, give it to me!"
The interaction between the two was very sweet, and they were very close to each other, making them look particularly intimate.
Zhang Hai's eyes widened when he saw this scene.
Ji Xiuran is notoriously difficult to approach. No matter what he does or speaks, he gives people a harsh feeling.
Unexpectedly, he would become a completely different person in front of his wife.
The more he thought like this, the more regretful Zhang Hai felt.
"If I knew Mrs. Ji was coming, I should have known her taste first. I was negligent."
Ji Xiuran ignored him and concentrated on feeding his little wife.
Ji Xiuran frowned slightly as he watched Zhao Ningchu take two bites and then stop eating.
"Just two bites?"
"Didn't the doctor tell me to eat smaller meals more often? Otherwise it would be bad to gain weight."
Zhang Hai said: "Mrs. Ji is so thin, she should eat more."
Ji Xiuran said calmly: "My wife is pregnant, and the doctor said she needs to control her diet."
Ji Xiuran's words stunned everyone present.
Especially Xia Mo was extremely shocked.
No wonder Ji Xiuran always avoided her. Zhao Ningchu must have threatened her with the child in her belly, so he didn't dare to come to her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Xia Mo became.
Zhang Hai was the first to react and said quickly: "Congratulations to Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji on the birth of their son."
When Ji Xiuran heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.
Zhao Ningchu couldn't hold back his laughter.
She didn't know why Ji Xiuran suddenly changed his face. It seemed that he really wanted his daughter and wanted to go crazy.
Zhang Hai saw Ji Xiuran's expression change and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
Could it be that what I said was wrong?
At this time, Ji Xiuran brought Zhao Ningchu's order again. Zhao Ningchu started drooling when he looked at the plate of spicy shrimps.
Seeing this, Zhang Hai suddenly thought of something, and then said: "They say sour children and spicy girls. Mrs. Ji likes spicy food, so she must be pregnant with a daughter."
Hearing this, Ji Xiuran raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Hai: "Is there any other way to say this?"
Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "My wife also liked spicy food when she was pregnant, and she was indeed a girl when she was born."
Following Zhang Hai's words, the expression on Ji Xiuran's face became less cold.
Zhang Hai has been working in the shopping mall for more than 20 years, and he is naturally very good at reading people's faces and speaking their words.
Looking at the change in Ji Xiuran's expression, he knew that his words pleased Ji Xiuran.
He continued: "Mrs. Ji can eat more grapes. I heard that children who eat more grapes during pregnancy will have big eyes. The bigger the eyes of girls, the cuter they are. They will be soft and fleshy."
Zhao Ningchu's mouth twitched slightly and she smiled awkwardly.
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Anything else? Mr. Zhang, if you have experience in this area, tell me about it."
So, Zhao Ningchu sat in the middle, listening to two old men in their thirties and forties discussing their experiences in raising children.
Zhang Hai didn't expect that his unintentional words would turn things around immediately.
After eating, Zhang Hai took out a longevity lock from nowhere and gave it to Zhao Ningchu.
When Zhao Ning first saw this, she saw that it was very expensive, and she also knew the purpose of this meal.
It is said that cannibalism is short of mouth and short of hand when taking advantage of others. You cannot owe others favors, which made it difficult for Ji Xiuran.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. There is no need to send gifts."
"Mrs. Ji, this gift should be considered as a meeting gift for the young lady."
Ji Xiuran sat in his seat with an expressionless face.
Although Zhang Hai didn't mention a word about cooperation during this meal, he was still very smart and knew how to please Zhao Ningchu and the child in his belly.
He reached out to take the longevity lock, put it in his hand and glanced at it. The pattern on it was a chubby female doll wearing Jifu. Ji Xiuran was indeed very satisfied with it.
Zhao Ningchu saw this, leaned over and whispered: "What are you doing?"
Ji Xiuran said alone: "Since it belongs to the child, let's take the place of the child's subordinate."
Zhao Ningchu:......
How could this person prove to be easy to bribe, and a longevity lock was bought?
Hearing this, Zhang Hai immediately felt relieved.
Even if today's cooperation is not successful, as long as Ji Xiuran accepts this gift, there will be many opportunities to cooperate with Ji in the future.
"Mrs. Ji, this is not a valuable thing, just think of it as my best wishes to the little lady."
Zhao Ningchu hesitated for a while, then reached out and took the longevity lock from Ji Xiuran's hand.
"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"You're welcome, it's mainly for the children."
Zhao Ningchu smiled and nodded.
Ji Xiuran held Zhao Ningchu's hand and whispered: "Come back to the company with me now?"
"good!"
"Go back and rest for a while. I will go shopping with you after get off work."
"Um!"
The group of people walked out of the private room and ignored Xia Mo, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Xia Mo looked at Zhao Ningchu's back, tightened her hands on her knees, and then said: "Xiu Ran..."
Ji Xiuran glanced at him and then said: "Xie Yu, please send Miss Xia back first."
Xie Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded: "I understand."
How could Xia Mo be so willing to leave like this without even saying a few words to Ji Xiuran.
"Xiu Ran, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to have a good chat with you."
"I don't have time in the afternoon, let's do it another day."
After saying that, he led Zhao Ningchu towards the elevator.
Zhang Hai and his secretary sent the two of them out of the hotel.
"Mr. Ji, if you and your wife don't mind if Special Assistant Xie is not here, I will see you off."
"No need, Mr. Zhang will have time to come to the company to see Xie Yu tomorrow."
Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he quickly came to his senses.
He said excitedly: "Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Ji for giving me this opportunity!"
Ji Xiuran didn't say anything, but just led Zhao Ningchu towards the road.
Zhao Ningchu looked at the man holding her hand and turned to look behind him, only to see Xia Mo looking at her with a resentful look on his face.
Zhao Ningchu quickly looked away.
"Ji Xiuran."
"What's wrong?"
"Has Mr. Zhang investigated you and prepared this longevity lock?"
"No!"
"What about him?"
"Remember his secretary left midway?"
After Ji Xiuran said this, Zhao Ningchu really remembered it.
Zhang Hai’s secretary got up and left for a while.
"So the secretary went to buy this longevity lock?"
"Um!"
"This secretary is quite clever."
Ji Xiuran smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Ningchu continued: "But why do you want to accept it? Isn't this because you owe others a favor?"
“I like it that money can’t buy.”
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at him: "I think you are flattered by the fact that you have one daughter at a time."
Ji Xiurenmei retorted, and Zhao Ningchu knew what he thought.
It seems that she really wants a daughter.
Zhao Ningchu followed Ji Xiuran and walked slowly. Seeing that Ji Xiuran had no intention of taking a taxi, he asked.
"How do we go back?"
"Walk back!"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he immediately stopped.
"What did you say?"
Ji Xiuran turned to look at her and smiled helplessly: "Let's go back, it's not very far from the company."
"Wherever it's not far away, it's obviously far away."
Zhao Ningchu looked at her angrily.
I am pregnant now and still have to walk such a long way.
"Just because you are pregnant, you need to move around more."
After saying that, he stepped back to Zhao Ningchu's side and reached out to her again: "Come, I will hold your hand."
Zhao Ningchu looked at the big hand in front of her and stretched out her hand without thinking.
The two walked for a while, but Ji Xiuran had no intention of taking a taxi back.
"Ji Xiuran, how long do we have to walk? I'm tired."
"Are you tired after walking for so long?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded: "Yes!"
"Did you see that?"
Ji Xiuran pointed behind Zhao Ningchu. Zhao Ningchu turned his head and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
"We just came out of that hotel. How long do you think we have been gone?"
Zhao Ning was a little embarrassed when she first saw this.
Well, it seems they didn't get very far.
"Why do I feel like I've been here for a long time?"
Zhao Ningchu looked at Ji Xiuran with aggrieved expression: "I'm so tired, my feet are sore."
"If you keep walking, your physical strength is too low."
'But I'm really tired with the cargo in my stomach and can't walk.'
Ji Xiuran looked at her less obvious pregnancy belly and sighed helplessly.
I also thought that letting her move properly would be good for her body.
"Really tired?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded aggrievedly: "I'm tired."
"Your physical strength is not good. You need to train your physical fitness well when you go back."
Zhao Ningchu:......
"Ji Xiuran, you must be a devil, I am a pregnant woman!"
'Don't worry, it's the right sport for you.'
'What?'
Ji Xiuran leaned close to Zhao Ningchu's ear and whispered.
Suddenly, Zhao Ningchu's cheeks turned red.
She took a step back and looked at Ji Xiuran in a panic: "I, I suddenly discovered that walking is actually a good training. Why don't we just walk to your company?"
When Ji Xiuran saw this, he raised his lips and smiled.
"Are you sure you didn't just say you couldn't walk?"
'Just now was just now, now is now, and now I can do it again.'
Ji Xiuran smiled helplessly when he saw his little daughter-in-law still holding on.
"Are you that scared?"
Zhao Ningchu's eyes turned red: "I'm really tired, you always..."
'Who said it was fast before?'
Ji Xiuran teased her about this incident, and Zhao Ningchu's cheeks turned even redder.
"Secretary Chen is here to pick us up. Let's go."
Zhao Ningchu followed his shix and looked at the car on the roadside in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I didn't say you were in the car, it's because you can't walk by yourself."
