"Come, Mr. Meng, let me pour you a cup of tea."

Tao Xixi gritted her teeth and tried to end the topic.

Meng Yan: "You haven't answered me yet. If Xu Jingran has this idea, what would you do?"

"No! Jing Ran wouldn't think that way."

Meng Yan: "Are you so sure? Do you know his heart very well? Do you know the type of person he likes?"

Tao Xixi: “Uh…”

"Although sister-brother relationships are popular nowadays, he and Gan Qi are family. And, to be honest, even if they really fall in love, they can't get past their families, and it's doomed to fail!"

Meng Yan's face was gloomy.

Tao Xixi thought to herself: Mr. Meng, he has such a handsome face, but why does he always make people feel so pressured when he speaks... This meal is so uncomfortable.

"Oh, I'm just kidding, Mr. Meng, let's not talk about this, okay? Gan Qi will be angry when he hears about this when he comes back."

There was no trace of a smile on Meng Yan's face. "I just want to find out what Xu Jingran thinks."

"Ms. Tao, after all, you are not a worm in his stomach. How much can you pry into such a private matter as love? It is inappropriate for an adult man and a woman who are not related to each other to be so close."

"It was fine before Gan Qi was unmarried, but now that she's married, shouldn't I avoid her?"

Tao Xixi is not a fool. She feels that the more she listens to these words, the more they sound like a warning.

Could it be that Mr. Meng noticed something?

"That's right... When a man and a woman who are not related get too close, it can easily lead to misunderstandings."

"Since Mr. Meng minds, I will find an opportunity to remind my cousin later."

As the two were chatting, Gan Qi came back with a large fruit platter.

"Hey!!!"

There were at least five or six kinds of fruits on her plate, stacked up like layers, as exquisite as a castle.

"Look at the plate I arranged myself. Isn't it beautiful and practical?"

Gan Qi had a smile on her face all the time.

She didn't know that her husband and her best friend were discussing a very serious topic.

"There's some freshly made lemon juice and grapefruit juice over there. I'll get them for you later," said Gan Qi.

Tao Xixi quickly grabbed her best friend.

"Stop working now, sit down and have some snacks before dinner."

She wanted her best friend to stay in her seat to avoid being "tortured and forced to confess" by Mr. Meng again.

Gan Qi: "Just now I saw you two chatting happily over there, what were you talking about?"

Tao Xixi: "...Nothing, just talk about your life before you got married. Your husband likes to hear it, right, Mr. Meng?"

Meng Yan said "hmm" coldly.

The topic just now was a bit sensitive, and they didn't want Gan Qi to know about it.

Just as the waiter brought all the dishes, Meng Yan received a phone call.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave now. I have something urgent to do and I have to go back to the company. I've already paid, so you guys can enjoy your meal."

Meng Yan bid them farewell in a gentlemanly manner.

Gan Qi was slightly disappointed: "I finally invited my bestie to dinner, but she left right after the food was served."

Tao Xixi tugged at Gan Qi: "It's okay! Work is more important!"

After the conversation just now, Tao Xixi felt a little depressed towards Meng Yan, and she didn't know why.

Gan Qi certainly knew that work should be her priority, but she felt a little sorry for her husband who couldn't even have a good meal.

After Meng Yan left, Gan Qi realized that her best friend seemed to be worried about something.

"Xixi, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Xixi looked at the direction where Meng Yan left, "Gan Qi, does he usually speak so seriously?"

Gan Qi smiled: "Are you talking about Mr. Meng? He appears to be cold on the surface, but he is actually soft-hearted. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

"Do not."

Tao Xixi turned her head:

"I'm the best at judging people. I feel like Mr. Meng has a strange aura... He doesn't look like a clerk at all. Instead, his every move is like that of a company manager."

Gan Qi didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all.

"That means he has a good face. I hope he can soar to the top one day and no longer be bullied by his director."

Tao Xixi: "No... He really seems to have been a big boss for a long time... Just now, for a moment, I felt like I was being lectured, and I got goose bumps all over my body."

Gan Qi: "When he's in a bad mood, he'll look like this, with a tense face, right?"

Tao Xixi nodded.

Gan Qi: "Same, I guess he's still mad about what happened last night!"

"What happened last night?"

"It's just... before dinner, he went to the company to pick me up, and he saw Jing Ran helping me. He got jealous and was sulking!"

"what?"

Tao Xixi was shocked.

"Did Jingran go to our office yesterday?"

"Yes."

"What is he doing here?"

Gan Qi: "He came to have dinner with us yesterday... Didn't Jing Ran get his salary? He came specially to treat us, but you weren't here yesterday, what a coincidence!"

what? !

Tao Xixi was shocked again.

She remembered that a few days ago, Jing Ran had sent her a message asking her, and Tao Xixi had clearly told him her itinerary.

——So, Jingran knew from the beginning that she was not in the office yesterday.

Tao Xixi is usually a carefree person, but at this moment, thinking back to the hidden meaning in Mr. Meng's words just now, Tao Xixi sensed something unusual.
