Ye Chen did not expect to meet Shen Xie at the Twin Towers restaurant on Christmas.

Since he separated from Omega that day, he kept the agreement and never came to disturb him again, but the monthly event reminder on his phone was not deleted, and when the reminder sounded again, he ordered his assistant to buy an inhibitor and send it over.

When Xiao Chen came back and heard that Omega seemed to be fine, he just nodded.

But after thinking about it later, I feel that I should still feel a little uncomfortable.

It seems that Shen Xie lived well after leaving him, and it was also a one-way provocation to Alpha on a certain level.

Speaking of it, today is actually not a good day to go out for dinner. Ye Chen runs his own business and deals with people from all over the world, but his family traditions tend to be old-fashioned, and he doesn't have much enthusiasm for foreign festivals.

Of course, when a person reaches his position, he can have a hundred ways to pass the time every minute, but since Shen Xie left, he has always lost interest in hanging out with those cronies in sensual places.

This year's Christmas just happened to be the weekend, and he casually gave his aunt a holiday, and when the day came, he habitually wanted to go to Lian Shui Wan to live in, and halfway through he remembered that the Omega who would cook for him was no longer there.

The cars were all out, and Ye Chen didn't plan to turn back, so he just walked into a shopping mall along the street.It's hard to believe that an identity like him will also encounter such a period of time when he is at a loss, as if the destination he was originally scheduled to go to is no longer open, and the new direction is temporarily unclear.

But after entering the mall, he regretted it.

Although the CBD business center with high-end luxury as its signature, it is not very lively on weekdays, but "normal times" certainly does not include Christmas.

Couples are the majority among the bustling passers-by.Perhaps there has been no shortage of people who are willing to spend a lot of money for their lovers. There are even queues at the entrance of several restaurants that are not cheap.

Ye Chen just casually walked around the inside twice, and decided to turn back and drive after checking the situation.It's not too late. A few years ago, he and a few friends jointly opened a private estate in the suburbs, saying that it was to enter the tourism and resort industry, but in the end it was just a place for a few dudes to have fun for themselves.

Ever since the manor opened, Ye Chen hadn't asked much about it, it was right to spend money as a favor, but he had obtained a private VIP card from the very beginning, and an exclusive suite had been kept in the manor all year round.

Right now the urban area is occupied by lively couples, so it's deserted to go home like this, so I might as well go to sleep outside for a night.

When Ye Chen made this decision, he didn't have many emotional fluctuations. He made the best choice under the framework of objective conditions. This was not contrary to his long-standing style of doing things, and it was not a big deal.

As a result, when he was planning to go back to the underground garage against the crowd, he turned his gaze slightly, and saw an acquaintance behind the glass floor-to-ceiling windows of a restaurant.

The consumption of Twin Towers Restaurant is not low.

Shen Xie noticed it from the moment she entered the door. Although it was a restaurant in a shopping mall, a small partition was made at the door. The metal-colored decorative frame was embedded with a mirror. The atmosphere is separated.

The wallets handed over by the waiters after ordering are placed in exquisite silver trays, and the knives and forks on the table are elegant enough.

Although there are large floor-to-ceiling windows on the side close to the shopping mall, the sound insulation of the restaurant is very good. Apart from the music flowing in the room, it is actually difficult to hear the sounds of the bustling crowd outside.

Because it is Christmas, the inside and outside of the floor-to-ceiling windows are decorated with snowflakes and holly branches, and the reindeer pulling the carriage ran over from knee height, creating a very low-key festive atmosphere.

Ye Chen passed by the floor-to-ceiling window.

When she caught a glimpse of that figure, Shen Xie was stunned for a while, she was in a daze for a while, she had only been separated from Alpha for more than a month, and when she saw a similar silhouette again, she already felt a sense of inversion in her heart.

But he didn't see it clearly, and a figure in the corner of his eye didn't distract him too much.At this time, the topic on the other side had progressed to chattering about dish recommendations, and after a while, I asked him if he had contributed to other Party A recently.

This is not easy to talk about, Shen Xie lowered his eyes slightly and did not speak, but fortunately, the appetizers had already started to serve, some delicate samples, he inserted a small piece of avocado with a fork, and continued to listen to the lecture while sipping it slowly.

It doesn't matter if it's just while waiting for food.

However, the person who asked him out this time seems to have been having a lively conversation. Although the content of the conversation is all about irrelevant things, the atmosphere is very lively just by looking at it.

Shen Xie blocked the second time when the editor-in-chief reached out to refill him with water, but felt that the meal was several times more difficult than expected.

I wanted to turn the topic back to work a few times in the middle, but I was distracted by ramblings.After all, Shen Xie is not like the kind of person who has been in the society before, so she still feels pressured when faced with this kind of scene.

He finally put down his knife and fork when the other party turned a corner and asked about his partner and emotional experience.

"Teacher Fang." Shen Xie called the other party with a suppressed voice, "I think we can stop caring about irrelevant issues."

Of course he now understands that this person asked him out for dinner today, it is obviously more like a ulterior motive than a work contact.

Although he has cooperated with this studio before, the new media industry is changing rapidly, and he is actually not very familiar with the current editor-in-chief.

It’s just that some time ago, the other party took the initiative to send an email to ask for a manuscript, and mentioned the works he had submitted in the past. At that time, the set of illustrations he made for the other party received a good response. Want to keep inviting him.

It is not uncommon for Party A to pay more attention to the response and data than to the work itself. If Shen Xie wanted to eat in this industry, he did not follow the high-ranking route. It is not uncommon to paint batches of works on the assembly line for [-] hours just to have money for dinner tomorrow.

But it's another matter if the other party pays too much attention to the illustrator himself like this.

Shen Xie doesn't really want to continue talking with the person in front of her anymore, anyway, the final contract has not been finalized yet, judging by the situation tonight, it is bound to be impossible to talk about anything, but fortunately there is still room for change.

He had already started to think about how much he would have to pay if he paid the bill for the meal. Before he separated from Ye Chen, he had the habit of keeping accounts. Now that he is living alone, he is of course aware of this aspect.

A bit pricey, but not unaffordable.

He is actually not short of money now, and on the other hand, he has followed Ye Chen for a long time, so he will no longer hesitate to face such a necessary large-scale consumption.

But at this time, the other party changed the subject instead: "Actually, we all know that Mr. Shen, you have separated from your Alpha."

Shen Xie was slightly taken aback.

He has never deliberately concealed his gender, and although there are not many people in the circle who know that he has an Alpha partner, there are not a few of them.

Then I heard the editor-in-chief Fang on the opposite side continue to say: "But you don't know, he is still looking for you."

...?

Now Shen Xie was really confused, the fact that Ye Chen was looking for him did exist, and now he was convinced that the other party had indeed done a lot of homework for meeting him today.

But Alpha had already met him a month ago, so what does this have to do with their meeting today.

The editor-in-chief Fang continued: "As soon as I saw you today, I knew why Mr. Ye couldn't forget you.

"An Omega like you, anyone would want to monopolize it."

The gesture of this sentence is very subtle. It is better to say that the other party has been talking to him in this kind of tone that seems to be caring, but in fact everything is under control.

Shen Xie couldn't stop listening, she pushed the chair away and wanted to stand up: "I'm sorry, I don't think we need to talk anymore."

Whether Ye Chen wants to possess him or not, he knows many times better than the person in front of him.

But so what, Alpha's possessive desire for him is different from possessive desire for a car, a watch, or a piece of clothing.

Of course, there is no need to say such things to unrelated people, but he really felt offended.

"Wait a minute."

Just when Shen Xie was about to turn around and leave the table, the person opposite quickly continued: "I also know that you didn't break up peacefully. Are you outside alone, aren't you afraid that Alpha will retaliate after finding you?"

It's nothing.Shen Xie found it funny, and couldn't help but turned around and asked him, "So?"

Seeing him turn around, the person on the opposite side showed a certain smile: "It shouldn't be easy for an Omega living outside and avoiding the search of an Alpha like Ye Chen.

"I asked you out today because someone found me and was willing to provide you with a new asylum."
