Without waiting for Sophie to answer, Zhao Dong said solemnly: "Listen carefully, from today on, from now on, if I miss you in the future, I will not bear it for a minute."
"I want to tell you, no matter what you have encountered in the past, it is in the past. Now that you have me by your side, I will bear everything with you!"
"I want you to know that no matter what happens in the future, I will always protect you. Even if I risk my life, I will never let you be harmed again!"
Sophie didn't know how to respond, so she muttered unconvincedly, "I'm talking like a child..."
When Zhao Dong heard the words, his tone suddenly became softer, "In my eyes, you are just a child now."
Sophie's heart had nowhere to rest, and she urged: "Okay, drive quickly, don't let Oriole wait in a hurry."
Zhao Dong asked back, "Then you're not angry anymore?"
Sophie said perfunctorily: "Well, I'm not angry anymore."
Zhao Dong added, "Then you prove it to me."
Sophie was dumbfounded, "How do you prove this?"
Zhao Dong brought his face closer, "Kiss me!"
Sophie was silent at first, and then said with a dark face: "Zhao Dong, are you trying to show your shame?"
Zhao Dong laughed and said, "Let's go!"
It was time to get off work and there was a lot of traffic.
Sophie didn't say anything and turned to look out the car window.
It wasn't that she didn't know what to say, but the relationship with Zhao Dong had heated up too quickly, and she felt a little flustered. The emotion of regaining what was lost made her feel that everything was like a dream.
She wanted to return to her past, but she was also afraid of losing it, and there were some nightmare emotions that she couldn't explain that were preventing her from taking the initiative to approach Zhao Dong.
Of course, she was still happy to see Zhao Dong's transformation, especially the feeling of being protected by Zhao Dong, which made Sophie's already collapsed sense of security gradually show signs of recovery.
Zhao Dong was the first to break the calm, "By the way, what happened to that girl you said just now? What's wrong?"
After being reminded by Zhao Dong, Sophie finally remembered the business and said seriously: "If I tell you, don't be angry."
Zhao Dong said without hesitation: "I can't bear to be angry with you."
Sophie rolled her eyes, then thought about her words and said, "I think the relationship between this girl and her eldest brother is a little unusual."
Zhao Dong pretended to be calm, "Why is it unusual?"
Sophie thought for a while, "I can't tell, it's not like an ordinary colleague relationship. Zhao Dong, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Zhao Dong asked: "How can you tell? Is that girl acting wrong?"
Sophie explained, "How can a woman's mind be so easy to guess? I just felt that the elder brother's behavior just now was a bit abnormal."
"Of course, it's also possible that I'm too sensitive and have random thoughts, so if I say something wrong, just treat it as if I didn't say it."
Zhao Dong was silent. There was indeed something wrong with the eldest brother's behavior just now. However, the eldest brother's character had always been rigid and serious, and he did not think about other aspects at the time.
Now after Sophie's reminder, Zhao Dong suddenly realized that his elder brother's behavior just now was indeed a bit too deliberate!
Sophie tentatively said: "Zhao Dong, I'm not saying there must be something between the eldest brother and that girl, and I don't mean anything else."
"I admire my eldest brother very much and respect him as a person, but..."
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "No need to explain, I know what you mean. This matter ends here. Don't tell anyone else, let alone my sister-in-law. I will handle the rest."
After the words fell, Zhao Dong dialed a phone number, "Xiaowu, help me check a person, and I will send you the information I know later!"
After passing a traffic light, the car drove very quickly the rest of the way to the destination.
The place to eat was chosen by Oriole. It was in a Western restaurant near the institute and the environment was very quiet.
When Zhao Dong took Sophie into the house, Oriole had already arrived early.
She was sitting in the elegant seat by the window, wearing a goose-yellow dress and light makeup on her face. She was extremely calm, and her outstanding temperament almost became the focus of the restaurant.
In just a short time, no less than three men came over and asked for Oriole's contact information, but they were all rejected mercilessly by Oriole.
When she saw Zhao Dong entering the room, she stood up first and waved.
Zhao Dong nodded and pulled Sophie over.
Sophie also looked over, counting this as the second meeting between the two.
It's just that when they first met, Huang Li was the surgeon who performed the surgery on his father, and the occasion was wrong, so the two didn't have much communication.
Moreover, Oriole was wearing a white coat at that time and looked completely different from Tranquility now, so much so that Sophie did not dare to recognize him immediately.
On the contrary, Oriole took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaofei, I have wanted to get together with you for a long time, but I have been very busy with work recently and have not taken time. Don't be angry."
Sophie didn't know why, but she was very fond of this girl. When she let go of Zhao Dong, she held hands with her and said, "Little Oriole, can I call you that?"
Oriole pulled Sophie to sit down, "Of course, you don't know. I have always wanted to have a sister since I was a child, as long as you don't think it's troublesome for me."
There is a natural compatibility between women, and they become familiar with each other in the blink of an eye.
After some small talk, Zhao Dong became a redundant one.
Watching Oriole pull Sophie to sit beside him, Zhao Dong said depressedly: "You kidnapped my wife and ran away just after we met. Oriole, isn't it appropriate for you to do this?"
Oriole and Sophie looked at each other and smiled.
As the food is served, time passes quietly.
Zhao Dong was not used to Western food, so he filled his stomach in just a few bites, and spent the rest of the time watching the two beauties chatting.
Halfway through the dinner, Oriole gave Zhao Dong a signal, and then whispered a few words in Sophie's ear.
Zhao Dong was curious, and before he could get closer, he saw Sophie's eyes glancing over, "You go out for a walk, I have something to say with Xiaoli."
Zhao Dong was depressed, "What are you saying that even I can't listen to?"
Seeing Sophie raising her eyebrows, hinting at losing her temper, Zhao Dong reluctantly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, you guys chat, I'm going to smoke, is that okay now?"
When Zhao Dong left, Huang Oriole smiled sweetly, "How's it going, Sister Xiaofei, Zhao Dong's performance just now was pretty good, wasn't it?"
Sophie was surprised, "Little Oriole, you mean..."
Oriole blinked, "Yes, Zhao Dong came to see me at noon, and I gave him a trick to let him take the initiative."
"Otherwise, with his dull personality, you would have to wait until the end of the year to get him to figure it out?"
Sophie smiled bitterly. Just now she was curious about how Zhao Dong suddenly became enlightened. There is a think tank like Oriole behind his feelings.
Oriole went straight to the point, "Sister Xiaofei, you are a smart person, and I will not follow you in circles."
"Zhao Dong has already told me about your affairs. You also know what I do. Now that Zhao Dong is not here, if you have anything you want to ask, just tell me!"
