not a decent stand-in

A sumptuous dinner for both guests and hosts.

After the end, Xiang Yindong sent Qin Jiaqi away in a gentlemanly manner, and just as he left the restaurant, he saw a familiar figure.

Qin Jiaqi reacted faster than him, and greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Calvin! What a coincidence?"

"It's a coincidence..." The corners of Zuo Tong's mouth raised slightly, with a slight smile.

Xiang Yindong couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart, that unreasonable feeling of guilt came back to his heart again.

It seems that he has been really unlucky recently. The incident at the farm has not passed yet, and he hit the gun again today.

He looked at Zuo Tong's expression indiscriminately, and seeing that the other party seemed to be in a good mood, he was silently relieved.

"You are in a good mood today! I have been here many times before, but I have never met you before!"

"It's boring. I wanted to have a drink with a friend, but he went to pick up girls and didn't even answer my calls, so I had to find entertainment by myself!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yindong silently took out his mobile phone to take a look, but he didn't find any missed calls.

Zuo Tong glanced at his movements and smiled playfully, as if he had just discovered his existence: "Yo, Mr. Xiang, are you there?"

On weekdays, his tone of voice was probably a precursor to losing his temper.

But he was smiling all over his face now, unable to judge his emotions.

Xiang Yindong's heart was agitated, but it was difficult to coax Qin Jiaqi in front of him, so he could only cough twice: "Yes, what a coincidence..."

Qin Jiaqi exchanged pleasantries with her boss, and found that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so she found an excuse to leave first.

Xiang Yindong sent her to the door of the club, and when he returned to the restaurant, he was told that Zuo Tong had already gone to his suite.

With a wry smile, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and chase after him.

The top floor of the VIP suite area of ​​"7thHeaven".

Xiang Yindong looked at the gilded number on the door plate - 707, and did not dare to reach out to ring the doorbell for a long time.

His mood at the moment is a bit complicated. More than two months ago, after this door was opened, the world suddenly changed.

Now, although the relationship between him and Zuo Tong has not changed substantially, it has also become a little subtle.

I have to admit that he has become more and more cautious in doing things recently.

I don't know which tendon is burnt out, but I started to deliberately observe Zuo Tong's reaction, being cautious about his emotions in everything, for fear of doing something that would hurt him.

Just like today, when I had a meal with a woman, I felt like I had done something wrong.

Xiang Yindong shook his head, stopped himself from thinking about it, reached out and rang the doorbell.

As soon as I put my hand on it, I realized that the door was not closed.

Zuo Tong is sitting on the terrace outside the house at the moment, watching the city with the first lights, slowly drinking red wine.

The turquoise swimming pool is sparkling, reflecting orange lights.

Xiang Yindong walked over, lay down on the chair beside him, and asked casually, "Why are you free today?"

Zuo Tong's tone was dull: "If I remember correctly, this seems to be my territory?"

Xiang Yindong made fun of himself, shrugged his shoulders, hesitated and said, "That...Qin Jiaqi, I just want to ask her for a favor..."

Zuo Tong looked at him sideways, with an expression of looking crazy: "...what does it have to do with me?"

Xiang Yindong was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a wry smile.

Duplicity guy!

It's been like this since I was a child, the more indifferent I look, the more unhappy I feel.

"Aren't you the boss? Of course I'll let you know!"

Xiang Yindong suddenly felt that he liked Zuo Tong's current appearance better than the shrewd and sharp Boss Zuo in front of outsiders.

Hard-spoken, and always like to be brave, like a child, moody, but inexplicably cute.

He couldn't help reaching out and ruffling the other person's hair.

Zuo Tong was caught off guard, and his hairstyle was ruined in an instant, and he couldn't help cursing: "Get out! What a nerve!"

Xiang Yindong laughed out loud, without any sense of guilt.

He grabbed the wine glass in Zuo Tong's hand, took a sip, and asked, "Did you eat?"

Zuo Tong's face was very dark, and there were a few large characters clearly written on his face - none of your business!

"That's why you didn't eat, why are you drinking while you're hungry?"

Xiang Yindong pretended not to see it, walked back to the house, and called the front desk on his own initiative to order food.

When the food was served, Zuo Tong found that it was all his favorite food, and his complexion improved a little.

He cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and asked nonchalantly, "I heard that your uncle and uncle have had a rough fight recently?"

"Yeah, but I can handle it, don't worry..." Xiang Yindong smiled and didn't explain much, "What about you, what have you been up to these days?"

"Collect some information and go to Hong Kong for a business trip in two days."

"Business trip? How long?"

"I don't know, it probably won't be too long..." Zuo Tong shrugged, "Hong Kong has hired a good production team, this time I will bring some people there for training."

"These things can be done by the people below. Why do you make yourself so tired?"

"got used to!"

Zuo Tong seldom mentioned company matters to Xiang Yindong, after all, they are separated like mountains.

After eating, Xiang Yindong ordered another bottle of wine, and the two of them sat on the terrace and chatted.

The night sky in the city is far less open and bright than that in the suburbs. It is gray and there are not even a single star.

"This terrible weather..." Xiang Yindong couldn't help complaining.

"I don't know when I will be able to see the Milky Way again..." Zuo Tong also felt a little emotional.

"Looking at the Milky Way?" Xiang Yindong suddenly sat up from the recliner, and said excitedly, "How about we go to the beach? It's been a long time since I went to the sea!"

"What's wrong with you?" Zuo Tong glanced at him, seeing that he was serious, he couldn't help laughing, "You really think that every time you come out, I don't have time to accompany you!"

"Then wait until you come back from Hong Kong. By then, things on my side will probably make some progress..."

Xiang Yindong waded down again, looking at the deep purple sky above his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On Sunday night, Zuo Tong flew to Hong Kong, and Xiang Yindong picked Qin Jiaqi up to attend Xiang Chenyu's birthday party.

Xiang Chenyu's 24th birthday party was held at a resort hotel in the suburbs of Beijing.

The exquisite Qin beauty, wearing a long black dress, has an exquisite figure and gorgeous makeup. She has obviously been well-dressed and has a certain style.

Xiang Yindong couldn't help whistling.

Qin Jiaqi smiled and said, "Why, today's body finally attracted Mr. Xiang's attention?"

Xiang Yindong is personable: "Why do you say that, in my eyes, you have always been a very attractive woman!"

"Well, although there is no sincerity, I reluctantly accept it." Qin Jiaqi sat on the co-pilot seat, took out the makeup box, and straightened her hair. "Are you sure, I will be able to get out of here later?"

"Don't worry, you are so smart, my cousin can't beat you!"

"Look at you, you're making me look like a scourge!" Qin Jiaqi glanced at him dissatisfied.

"How come, I remember, you are the soft girl who is most afraid of cockroaches!"

"Remember this? You have a conscience!" Qin Jiaqi put the makeup box in her handbag and said with a smile, "Soft girl...but she never wears her seat belt!"

Xiang Yindong laughed, after all, he is the one who asks for others, so there is always a need for demeanor.

So he leaned over naturally and leaned over to help her fasten her seat belt.

Along the way, the two chatted happily.

For Xiang Yindong, chatting with a smart woman like Qin Jiaqi will not feel tiring, and it is also a good experience.

It's just that he used to be a little proud of his ability to deal with countless beauties.

But now, it's a little tasteless.

When approaching the entrance of the hotel, Qin Jiaqi suddenly asked: "I have a question, I wonder if I can ask it?"

Xiang Yindong drove the car without turning his head, and said nonchalantly, "Of course!"

"You..." Qin Jiaqi cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Are you in love?"

"Ah?" Xiang Yindong almost choked on his own saliva, and laughed dryly, "Why do you ask that?"

"On the way, you have checked the phone more than ten times. The person who asked you to wait must be very important?" Qin Jiaqi sighed, and said somewhat unwillingly, "Last time you invited me to dinner, I thought I had What a chance!"

Xiang Yindong was speechless, the behavior of looking at the mobile phone was completely subconscious, and he didn't realize it himself.

Zuo Tong said before leaving that he would call him when he arrived in Hong Kong.

After all, that guy should have landed long ago, but for some reason, he hasn't been called yet.

He coughed twice, his face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't bother to explain.

He could see that Qin Jiaqi really wanted to get back together with him.

After all, she was just a little girl back then, and she felt that she didn't pay enough attention to her, so she lost her temper and broke up easily.

But now, she has obviously matured a lot and knows better what she wants.

"Women are so smart, it's really scary!"

"It seems true?" Qin Jiaqi said regretfully, "I'm curious, what kind of person is the other party?"

what kind of person?

How could Xiang Yindong say something that didn't exist in the first place, but he just wanted to dispel the other party's idea.

He thought for a while, and said casually, "Hard mouthed and soft hearted, with a bad temper, but...very cute..."

Qin Jiaqi pursed her lips: "I'm really envious..."

Xiang Yindong didn't take it seriously: "There's nothing to envy, you know, I'm not a good lover..."

Qin Jiaqi nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, as a lover, you are already perfect, maybe because of this, it will make people feel very distant."

"Oh?" Xiang Yindong raised his eyebrows, with an attitude of listening attentively.

"When it comes to dating, sometimes I just want to enjoy the fun of being noisy, jealous and coquettish. But when I come to you, everything becomes responsive. After a long time, I feel boring! So, at that time, I always made trouble for no reason. But I just wanted to get your attention..."

There was a flash of sadness in Qin Jiaqi's eyes, and a smile soon replaced it.

Xiang Yindong sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm really not a good match..."

Zuo Tong is right, he seems to be affectionate, but in fact he is ruthless.

Even he himself did not deny that he had never really cared about any woman.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the resort, many luxury cars had already parked outside. All kinds of coquettish colors and modifications showed the taste of the participants.

Xiang Yindong sighed, it really was a gathering of the second generation ancestors.

"You go in. My cousin has nothing else to say, he just saves face. As long as you have enough aura and a high posture, he will never dare to mess around."

"I understand!" Qin Jiaqi smiled, straightened her clothes, opened the door and walked down, "Wait for my news!"
