Qiao Ruoqing put her elbows on the table and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Well, take this opportunity to see the old man, and some things happen to be on the agenda.

When leaving the company in the afternoon, Qiao Ruoqing saw Huo Jingyuan's car parked in front of the company.

Out of politeness, she walked over to say hello, but just as she reached the door, the co-pilot's door was opened.

She didn't quite understand what this meant, so she bent over and asked, "Brother Huo, are you here to find someone?"

Huo Jingyuan turned his head sideways and took a look at her.

I don't know why, but Qiao Ruoqing is very smart, but he always feels that she doesn't have a high IQ.

"Get in the car." He said in a low voice.

Qiao Ruoqing was stunned, and got into the car, "You didn't come to look for me, did you?"

"En." Huo Jingyuan's answer was very concise, and then he started the car.

Qiao Ruoqing bulged her cheeks in the rearview mirror.

Huo Jingyuan actually came here specifically to find her?Why?
After waiting for a while, seeing that Huo Jingyuan had no intention of speaking, Qiao Ruoqing finally couldn't help it, and spoke first: "Brother Huo, what do you want from me?"

"Have a meal."

"..."

It's really concise!

Huo Jingyuan booked a private room with private dishes. There were obviously only two people, but he booked a middle room. After they were seated, there were still several seats vacant, which seemed a bit empty.

Originally, Qiao Ruoqing was still wondering if someone else hadn't come yet, but when she saw the only two sets of tableware on the dining table, she knew she was thinking too much.

"Brother Huo..."

"This is my work plan for Huatian for the next six months, take a look." Before Qiao Ruoqing finished speaking, Huo Jingyuan put a document in front of Qiao Ruoqing.

Looking at the black folder in front of her, Qiao Ruoqing felt a little strange.

What kind of fairy speed is this?Huo Jingyuan only read the company's report on Saturday, and today is only Monday...

"Brother Huo, you have to worry." Qiao Ruoqing smiled and spoke very sincerely.

Huo Jingyuan took a sip of tea, rested his left hand on the back of the chair, and sat sideways looking at her with winding lines.

Being stared at unnaturally, Qiao Ruoqing rolled her eyes, picked up the document and read it.

As if afraid that she wouldn't understand, Huo Jingyuan gave a guidepost beside him: "Ask me if you don't understand."

"..." Qiao Ruoqing felt as if she was being despised.

But after thinking about the conversation between the two of them in the Huo family's study that day, and Huo Jingyuan's prestige in the industry, Qiao Ruoqing felt that it was not a shame to be despised by him, so she honestly said "oh".

While Qiao Ruoqing was looking at the work plan, Huo Jingyuan ordered food.

The food is served here relatively quickly, Qiao Ruoqing hadn't even finished reading the documents, so they had all the food served.

Because of the rush of time at noon, she didn't have time to eat lunch, and she was busy in the afternoon, her stomach was empty, and there was nothing but two cups of coffee. At this moment, she smelled the aroma of the food, and she immediately closed the file and picked up the chopsticks, "Let's go first Let's eat, talk while eating..."

Unexpectedly, before the chopsticks reached into the dish, they were caught by Huo Jingyuan's chopsticks.

She thought it was an accident, so she wanted to pull out her chopsticks, but found that no matter how she pulled out, the chopsticks were firmly held by Huo Jingyuan.

Not moving.

Looking at the indifferent man beside her, Qiao Ruoqing's eyes were full of doubts, "Brother Huo, what's wrong?"

Huo Jingyuan's expression was still indifferent, and he glanced at the document she had just put aside, "Read it first, and finish talking about work before eating."

Qiao Ruoqing blinked, feeling a little dazed.

How do you feel like you are in school?

She graduated five or six years ago, okay?She is now 28 mentally, okay?Why do you have to be controlled even when you eat?

Unconvinced, she straightened her back and wanted to resist, but when she saw the glacier-like expression on Huo Jingyuan's face, her aura weakened by three points, like a young tiger that hadn't learned how to prey, her voice was soft: "But I'm hungry..."

"Then you have to read the documents first." Putting down his chopsticks, Huo Jingyuan asked, "You don't want to take revenge?"

Qiao Ruoqing let out a long breath, and honestly put the chopsticks back on the chopstick rest.

Who told her to take revenge?Who made her suffer all the persecution in her previous life?
If you don't eat, don't eat, if you are hungry, be hungry...

Seeing Qiao Ruoqing reopen the file, Huo Jingyuan curled his lips in satisfaction, and slowly poured a bowl of soup in front of her.

Qiao Ruoqing, who was originally very focused, wrinkled her nose when she smelled the soup, raised her head and gave Huo Jingyuan a dissatisfied look, "You did it on purpose!"

Hearing that she was a little angry, Huo Jingyuan felt in a good mood, nodded and admitted, and gave a very grand reason: "Test your concentration."

"..." Who are these people!

The grandma gave him a fierce gouging look, and Qiao Ruoqing pushed the steaming bowl of soup away with her hands, and went back to work with difficulty.

After finally reading the information, I asked Huo Jingyuan about everything I didn't understand, and Huo Jingyuan answered them patiently.

After closing the document and putting it aside, Qiao Ruoqing stretched, feeling extremely comfortable, and whispered softly, "Great, I can finally eat!"

As he spoke, he already had chopsticks in his hands.

However, Huo Jingyuan took off the chopsticks she had just held in his hand, and handed the bowl of soup that was originally served to her into her hand, "Drink the soup first."

Qiao Ruoqing pouted.

Control so much.

He muttered something in his heart, but he still did it, and drank the soup first.

She was really hungry, and the soup was lukewarm, just in time for her mouth. She tilted her neck and poured the whole bowl of soup into her stomach, feeling extremely happy.

After eating, the two just came out of the private room when they bumped into someone head-on.

When Wu Shan saw Huo Jingyuan and Qiao Ruoqing, she was stunned for two seconds, and a smile appeared on her face immediately. She looked very cute and lovable, "Jingyuan, Miss Qiao, are you eating here too?"

Huo Jingyuan ignored him. Seeing that he was so indifferent, Qiao Ruoqing was afraid that Wu Shan would feel embarrassed, so she replied with a smile: "Yes, you are here too? What a coincidence!"

"Yes." Wu Shan replied, and asked again, "It's just the two of you?"

This time Huo Jingyuan wanted to speak, but Qiao Ruoqing didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and decisively denied it: "No!"

Huo Jingyuan looked at the girl beside him, but saw Qiao Ruoqing pointing to the private room behind with a calm expression, "How could the two of you order a medium one? Isn't that a lack of heart?"

Huo Jingyuan raised his eyebrows.

Without noticing his expression, Qiao Ruoqing continued to make up nonsense: "It was a group game with friends, Brother Huo and I met here..."

As he said that, he turned his head and winked at Huo Jingyuan, "Brother Huo, right?"

Huo Jingyuan twitched the corners of his lips, but said nothing.

Qiao Ruoqing was a little embarrassed, and looked at Wu Shan, "Brother Huo is so cold! Sure enough, you can't laugh in front of everyone! The relationship between Miss Wu and Brother Huo is better!"

Between the lines, every sentence seems to be saying: I am not familiar with him, I have no personal contact with him at all, we just met by chance!
Huo Jingyuan felt awkward, and pulled Qiao Ruoqing's wrist, "Let's go."

Then, he dragged the person out of the restaurant as if no one else was there.

Seeing the backs of the two getting further and further away, the smile on Wu Shan's face gradually faded.

Qiao Ruoqing was still puzzled until she got in the car, "Brother Huo, why are you so indifferent to Miss Wu? Haven't you guys known each other for a long time?"

Huo Jingyuan didn't make a sound, and started the car on his own.

"Didn't Aunt Tang say last time that Ms. Wu would visit her and her uncle every time she returned to China? Then what you did just now was too embarrassing for others. You didn't say a word to them, and..."

Looking down at the red mark on her white wrist, she felt a little wronged.

What if Wu Shan misunderstood her?She doesn't want to be a third party in other people's emotional world.

In that case, what's the difference with Qiao Ruolan?
Along the way, Huo Jingyuan was surprisingly quiet. Although usually he didn't talk much, but tonight, he seemed to talk very little.

Even at the gate of Qiao's villa, he just stopped the car without saying a word.

Qiao Ruoqing opened the car door, and a wave of heat rushed towards her face, she frowned.

"It's so hot!" She said, just got off the car, and wanted to say "goodbye" to Huo Jingyuan, and thank him for inviting her to dinner tonight, sending her back, and making plans for the company.

But before she even had time to open her mouth or raise her hand, Huo Jingyuan reversed the car quickly and left.

Qiao Ruoqing stood where she was, looking at the tail lights of the car that gradually disappeared, feeling a little dazed.

what happened?Isn't it good when you eat?Why are you so unhappy now?
Could it be that the legendary uncle came?
But she didn't have time to think so much, she was exhausted today, and now she just wanted to go back and take a shower, and then have a good sleep.

After taking a shower, while she was drying her hair, the mobile phone on the dressing table kept vibrating, making a series of "buzzing" sounds.

Seeing that it was a video call from Shi Shi, Qiao Ruoqing turned off the hair dryer and picked up the video call.

Shi Shi was wearing a mask, her face was covered by a thin silk mask, but she could clearly see her facial features.

Glancing towards the camera, Shi Shi didn't dare to speak too much, so her voice was a bit vague: "Ruoqing, what are you doing? I forgot to ask you at the company today. What is Song Mingyuan looking for from you?"

"You're just asking this?" Qiao Ruoqing straightened her hair.

Her hair is relatively long, almost reaching her waist, so it is not very convenient to manage it with one hand, so she simply put the phone in front of the vanity mirror to free up her hand.

Shi Shi rolled her eyes, "Isn't it because of this? I've been feeling uneasy today, and I always feel that Song Mingyuan has nothing good to do with you..."

Qiao Ruoqing smiled, "It's a good thing, he let me go to his grandpa's birthday party."

After a pause, he added: "The old man is very kind to me."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shi immediately noticed something, and her eyes widened instantly, "Isn't it? Ruoqing, I heard what you said, are you going? It's the Song family's birthday party, so you don't have to be afraid of them bully you?"
