Zhou Peng's inquiry made Nie Jingrou very unhappy. However, since he asked and she didn't answer, it seemed rude, so she nodded.
"Really?" Zhou Peng looked disappointed for a moment: "I know him?"
Nie Jingrou shook his head: "You may not know him."
"How is it possible that there are people in our circle that I don't know?" Zhou Peng said angrily.
"He is not from our circle." That elegant and handsome face flashed through Nie Jingrou's mind, and the corners of her mouth raised involuntarily.
"Is that from the business district?" Zhou Peng casually guessed.
Nie Jingrou rolled her eyes at him: "Okay, don't guess. We have been friends for more than 20 years after all. If we really liked each other, we would have known each other a long time ago. In order not to embarrass each other, we should continue to be friends.
.”
After Nie Jingrou finished speaking, he immediately stood up: "I won't eat here anymore. Let's go first."
"Hey, Jing Rou, who said I only want to be friends with you?" Zhou Peng stood up anxiously and blocked her way.
"Zhou Peng, what if you don't even want to be friends?" Nie Jingrou was also anxious.
Zhou Peng's hand that blocked her instantly dropped, and he watched Nie Jingrou's figure disappear with some helplessness.
"Zhou Peng." A young man and woman suddenly walked over next to him.
"Xiao Cheng." Zhou Peng recognized him immediately, then raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl next to him: "Your new wife?"
Xiao Cheng immediately smiled and said: "Yes, her name is Zhou Lu, you may have been from this family five hundred years ago."
Zhou Lu smiled unnaturally.
"Are you eating here? Have you made an appointment with friends?" Xiao Cheng asked him curiously.
"My mother arranged for me to come over and have a blind date with Jingrou, but this girl can run faster than a rabbit." Zhou Peng is a few years older than Nie Jingrou, so the title is a bit like Nie.
"Blind date?" Zhou Lu's eyes lit up, and a hint of bad thoughts came to the end of his eyes.
Xiao Cheng huffed and stopped talking.
Because he knew that Nie Jingrou had a boyfriend in the business world, Zhou Peng would definitely have no chance of singing.
"She may be shy. Girls are thin-skinned." Zhou Peng laughed twice.
At this moment, two beautiful women came towards this side. When Xiao Cheng saw the two powerful women, he quickly led his wife to leave: "Zhou Peng, next time we meet again, let's go first."
Zhou Ying returned to the box and saw Zhou Peng sitting alone. She quickly asked: "Where is Jingrou?"
"She said she had something to do and left first." Zhou Peng replied, feeling depressed in his heart and not daring to show it in front of Zhou Ying.
"This kid is really ignorant." Zhou Ying immediately scolded him lightly.
Aunt Haili next to her quickly smiled and persuaded: "It's okay, we can make another appointment."
"Aunt Ying, Mom, forget it." Zhou Peng took a sip of water: "Jingrou and I are more suitable to be friends than to get married."
"You damn boy, what are you talking about? A girl like Jingrou is so outstanding..." Haili almost lost her temper.
Zhou Ying was startled and immediately asked: "Zhou Peng, did my family Jing Rou say something randomly?"
"No, I just feel that we are too familiar with each other to be friends." Zhou Peng was a little disappointed, but he still figured it out. Don't force things about feelings.
Zhou Ying glanced at Hai Li, who had a look of hatred on her face. Zhou Ying quickly sighed: "I originally thought that we were distantly related, and if we could become in-laws, we could get closer and closer."
Zhou Peng wanted to say something, but finally held back. Nie Jingrou had someone he liked. Maybe Zhou Ying didn't know about it yet. Forget it, he was a grown man and didn't like to meddle in other people's business. In fact, Zhou Peng really liked Nie Jingrou.
Yes, but this love also has a little more tolerance and care from his brother, so it is very complicated. Now that he heard that Nie Jingrou had someone he liked, Zhou Peng was actually relieved.
Nie Jingrou went straight back to her apartment, feeling that the blind date was too scary.
As night falls, the chill suddenly subsides.
In the square garden, Xia Yuanqiao was sitting in the study, handling official duties.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He glanced at it and saw a text message from an unknown number.
Xia Yuanqiao opened it casually and saw a message that read: Your Nie Jingrou went on a blind date with another man tonight.
Xia Yuanqiao's eyes froze, he quickly picked up his phone and replied: "Who are you and why are you telling me this?"
The other party only laughed twice: "I'm going to be cheated again, Mr. Xia."
When Xia Yuanqiao heard the word "green", he was so excited that he immediately dialed the number. However, the other party didn't answer the phone at all. Xia Yuanqiao became angry and quickly replied: "My business has nothing to do with you, don't bother me again."
.”
"It's green, are you used to it?" The other party seemed to be teasing him deliberately.
Xia Yuanqiao calmed down, and after careful guessing, he guessed the identity of the other party: "Zhou Lu, do you think this is fun?"
The other party seemed to be frightened and did not reply to him again.
Xia Yuanqiao could no longer calm down. He looked at his phone and suddenly thought of the apartment where Nie Jingrou lived not far from here. He took a deep breath, got up and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Tang Shi is watching TV. Recently, she is obsessed with family dramas. Especially when she sees her angry wife, she can empathize with her. At this moment, she is holding a ball of tissues and crying out of breath.
It’s not worth it to feel heartbroken for the misery of the heroine in the TV series.
"Mom..." Xia Yuanqiao suddenly appeared, startling Tang Shi, and immediately glared at him with red and swollen eyes: "What are you doing down here?"
Xia Yuanqiao glanced at the sad drama on TV, then looked at his mother's red and swollen eyes. He pointed to the two large bags of fruit on the table: "Can I take this away?"
Tang Shi frowned: "You can eat it if you want. How old are you? You want to ask me when you eat some fruit?"
"No, I just wanted to give it away." Xia Yuanqiao said. Without waiting for his mother to speak again, he directly picked up the two large bags of fruit and walked out.
"Hey, Xia Yuanqiao, Momo bought this for me, who are you giving it to?" Tang Shi held two wads of paper and asked while wiping her tears.
Xia Yuanqiao looked back at her: "Just give it to a friend."
After saying that, he got directly into the car, kicked the accelerator and drove away.
Tang Shi turned around and sat on the sofa again, continuing to be immersed in the miserable life of his miserable wife.
Xia Yuanqiao drove the car and parked it in the parking lot below Nie Jingrou's apartment.
I played with my phone repeatedly, but couldn't muster the courage to send her a text message.
Finally, Xia Yuanqiao lit a cigarette, took two strong puffs, put out the cigarette, and called Nie Jingrou directly.
Nie Jingrou was waiting for her takeout when she suddenly heard her phone ringing. She quickly picked it up and said without looking at it: "Wait a minute, you put the takeout at the doorman's desk, I'll come down and get it..."
"Jingrou, it's me..." Xia Yuanqiao said with a confused look on his face, a little aggrieved.
Nie Jingrou was startled and immediately looked at the caller ID on her phone. Sure enough, it was Xia Yuanqiao calling.
"Why did you call me suddenly?" Nie Jingrou immediately asked happily.
Xia Yuanqiao replied: "I passed by your house downstairs and bought some fruit. I wanted to come and see you."
"Really? Where are you?" Nie Jingrou couldn't hide her joy.
"Just downstairs from you."
"Wait for me, I'll go downstairs to pick you up. The security here is too tight, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in." Nie Jingrou said, hung up the phone, held the phone and went downstairs.
Xia Yuanqiao picked up the fruit and walked not far outside the door. Suddenly she thought that Nie Jingrou seemed to have said the word "takeout" just now. Wasn't she having a blind date with a man for dinner? Why did she still order takeout?
Xia Yuanqiao was instantly annoyed as he was tricked once again by Zhou Lu, a scheming girl.
Nie Jingrou went downstairs in a pair of slippers. She had just taken a shower. She was wearing a long, wide dress and her long hair was hanging down casually. Xia Yuanqiao's heart moved as he watched her walking towards her.
Taking off her strict professional uniform, she looked as innocent as the girl next door, with an aura of youth all over her body. The wind blew her hair and disturbed Xia Yuanqiao's heart.
Nie Jingrou looked a little shy. She walked over with a shy smile and looked at the two large bags of fruit in Xia Yuanqiao's hands. They were really generous. They were two large bags, and even he, a grown man, could carry them.
It's all a bit strenuous.
"Why...buy so much?" Nie Jingrou looked at Xia Yuanqiao with a smile.
Xia Yuanqiao didn't expect these two big bags to be so heavy, but since Nie Jingrou asked him, he naturally had to answer: "Eat more fruit, it will taste better."
Nie Jingrou was instantly amused by his stupidity: "Then come up with me first."
"Didn't you also order takeout? Has it arrived?" Xia Yuanqiao asked immediately.
Nie Jingrou quickly took out her mobile phone and looked at the delivery man's location: "He'll be there soon. Why don't you wait a little longer? I won't be too lazy to go downstairs for a while."
"Okay!" Xia Yuanqiao was naturally willing to wait with her.
So, the two of them stood under the streetlight, with no one passing by around them. For a moment, their breath felt hot.
"Don't you have a canteen? Why are you ordering takeout?" Xia Yuanqiao had nothing to say to talk.
Nie Jingrou nodded and explained: "I originally wanted to eat in the cafeteria, but because of something else, I didn't go."
Xia Yuanqiao's heart skipped a beat. There was something she said. She wasn't really going on a blind date.
He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.
Nie Jingrou had her hands behind her back, her long hair was as flowing as steel, and her simple face was as bright as spring. She turned to look at Xia Yuanqiao, who instantly blushed at her sight.
"By the way, let me tell you something." Nie Jingrou suddenly blinked: "I was arranged by my mother to go on a blind date with a friend I know today."
"Ah?" Xia Yuanqiao was startled. His face didn't know what to say for a moment. He just lowered his eyes and said, "How does it look? Are you attracted to him, or is he attracted to you?"
"Are you jealous?" Nie Jingrou suddenly came closer to him.
Xia Yuanqiao was a little embarrassed by her question, and immediately replied: "I'm not qualified to be jealous now, right?"
Nie Jingrou immediately turned her back to him as if she was angry: "We have confirmed our relationship and you are still not jealous. Then do you not care about me?"
Xia Yuanqiao was startled and hurriedly explained: "Jingrou, of course I care, otherwise, I wouldn't come here to find you at night."
"What?" Nie Jingrou immediately turned around and stared at him: "Did you know that I went on a blind date?"
Xia Yuanqiao decided not to hide it from her anymore and nodded: "Yes, someone anonymously sent me a text message to tell me."
"Who is so boring?" Nie Jingrou asked angrily.
"I suspect it's Zhou Lu, she is the only one so boring." Xia Yuanqiao said.
Nie Jingrou narrowed her beautiful eyes: "She doesn't want to see us well."
Just then, a takeaway boy riding a donkey came over and was about to make a call on his mobile phone.
Nie Jingrou hurriedly walked over and reported her mobile phone number, and the other party quickly gave her the takeaway.
Xia Yuanqiao quickly stretched out his hand to carry the takeout for her, but Nie Jingrou did not give it to him: "The fruit in your hand looks quite heavy, so I'll carry it."
Xia Yuanqiao didn't insist anymore, but felt relieved.
The two of them entered the community, and Xia Yuanqiao followed Nie Jingrou towards the elevator entrance.
"Jingrou, can you please stop going on blind dates in the future?" Xia Yuanqiao was confused. Although he said he had no right to be jealous, in fact, he felt quite uncomfortable.
Nie Jingrou nodded immediately: "Okay, this was arranged by my mother. I didn't know it beforehand. He has been my friend since childhood. I really never thought about having anything to do with him."
Xia Yuanqiao felt relieved, and then he smiled: "I believe you."
Nie Jingrou turned to look at him and smiled: "What about you? Will you go on a blind date?"
Xia Yuanqiao shook his head: "I won't go there again, blind dates are too embarrassing."
Nie Jingrou thought about the last time she accompanied him on a blind date, but the woman didn't come for some unknown reason, causing her and Xia Yuanqiao to have a meal together.
"Then it's agreed, you're not allowed to date anyone casually." Nie Jingrou also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them arrived on the floor. Nie Jingrou opened the door, and a burst of fragrance that belonged to a girl came. Xia Yuanqiao saw a very clean, bright and feminine house, with some cute objects placed in the living room.
, the white gauze curtains were fluttering in the wind, and there were many small green plants on the large balcony. As soon as they came in, a kitten ran towards Nie Jingrou.
When Xia Yuanqiao saw the little kitten, his eyes softened instantly. He knelt down and wanted to hug him. Unfortunately, the kitten didn't care about him at all. He just circled around Nie Jingrou's feet, stimulating the little kitten.
The skin on the girl's feet was itchy. Nie Jingrou couldn't stand it, so she bent over and picked it up in her arms: "Little Douding, eat grandma."
Nie Jingrou said, quickly getting a small bowl of milk for Little Douding and placing it next to his little home. The little guy immediately started eating happily.
"Doudin?" Xia Yuanqiao then remembered that he forgot to name it last time.
"Yes, my brother gave a puppy to my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law named it Xiao Dou Ya. It suddenly occurred to me that our kitten should be called Xiao Dou Ding, so that they can play together in the future." Nie Jingrou smiled.
said.
"It... sounds good." Xia Yuanqiao said against his conscience.
"What do you mean it's okay? It's obviously very suitable for it." After Nie Jingrou said that, he opened the fruits sent by Xia Yuanqiao. There were seven or eight kinds in total, no duplicates, and they were all imported and very expensive.
That kind of fruit: “You bought so much, and it’s so expensive.”
Xia Yuanqiao immediately touched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "These are more suitable for girls to eat."
Xia Yuanqiao was embarrassed to say that it was his sister who was filial to her mother, and then he brought them all to give away to his girlfriend.
"Just buy one or two items from now on, otherwise you won't be able to finish them all and they will get spoiled easily." Nie Jingrou said this, but she felt very sweet in her heart.
