Chapter 31 Getting into another man's car

Inside the bridal shop.

"Brother Yan, Sister Qingwu wouldn't complain to my sister-in-law, would she? I'm going to admit my mistake to my sister-in-law."

"Xu Qingwu is right. Where's your husband? He can't even come to the wedding dress fitting. What's the point of having him?"

Wen Jiajia lowered her head: "He is too busy..."

"Then I'll try it with you when I'm not busy!" Qi Yan shook off Wen Jiajia's hand and strode away.

Wen Jiajia looked at Qi Yan's back, gritted her teeth, took out her cell phone from her bag, and sent a text message to Cen Yue: Sister Yueyue, my brother accompanied me to try on wedding dresses and was seen by Sister Qingwu, please don't misunderstand.

After sending the text message, Wen Jiajia felt a little better and went to look at wedding dresses.

"Hey, let me see this one."

"I'm sorry Miss, this is a show piece and has already been reserved."

"Do you know who I am?"

"I'm sorry, miss. I'm really sorry." The shopping guide thought to herself, I don't care who you are. Can you be more powerful than Mrs. Cen?

Wen Jiajia didn't give up: "Who ordered it?"

"The one who just left."

She just left...wasn't that Xu Qingwu? This woman is really haunting!

It's almost dinner time.

After getting into the car in the underground garage, Cen Xihuai asked Xu Qingwu, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"

This is the problem that worries Xu Qingwu the most every day. She doesn’t know what to eat every day, so she lets Cen Xihuai decide.

Cen Xihuai took her to a restaurant halfway up the mountain.

It looks ordinary from the outside, but you will find a different world once you go in. You will pass through a bamboo forest, where there are rockery and a lake. In the lake, there is a beautiful woman in ancient costume playing the pipa. The second floor is a separate box for entertaining guests.

The menu here is different every day, all handwritten on the same day. There are samples of each dish. The bamboo tube in front serves as a bamboo slip with the name of the dish written on it, and guests can just take whichever dish they want.

Xu Qingwu ordered a few signs and handed the rest to Cen Xihuai.

The dishes came up one by one, all ordered by Cen Xihuai. The table was full, but the portion of each dish was pitifully small.

After the waiter left, the two of them dined alone.

There were only two people left in the private room, and Xu Qingwu finally couldn't help but complain: "This restaurant is so expensive and the portions are so small, the boss is too mean!"

Cen Xihuai scooped a bowl of yam and lily soup and placed it in front of her: "Drink the soup, black-hearted boss lady."

"Ah?" Xu Qingwu was dumbfounded. This store was his!

"Don't worry, the portions are usually larger than this. Since this is your first time here, I wanted you to try it all."

"oh."

Each dish only has about ten bites, which makes it convenient for her to taste the food without wasting it.

Xu Qingwu was very satisfied with the meal.

The dessert after the meal was a specially made mango pudding. Xu Qingwu ate it in small bites and asked him what his plans were for the afternoon.

"What do you think?"

Cen Xihuai threw the question over, but Xu Qingwu of course refused to answer: "I arranged it this morning, and it's your turn this afternoon."

Cen Xihuai didn't expose her cheating. He clicked on the link and the first thing he saw was watching the sunrise together.

He switched to the weather interface. The next few days would be sunny. If he set out now, climbed to the mountainside and checked into the hotel, he would be able to see the sunrise when he reached the top of the mountain the next day.

After thinking about the feasibility, Cen Xihuai thought of a problem. He seemed to have never seen Xu Qingwu get up early.

"If I watch the sunrise, can you get up?"

His questioning look was so hurtful.

Xu Qingwu said firmly: "Of course!"

"How about we do it in the order of the links? The first one is watching the sunrise."

"good."

The two hit it off immediately.

Xu Qingwu recalled the few dates she had with her ex He Xu. He Xu would ask her if she wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, or hot pot and barbecue. He would also ask her if she wanted to watch a movie, go for a drive, or go to the amusement park. Every time she had to make a choice, she would be nervous, worried that He Xu would not like her choice, and worried that He Xu would be unhappy because he indulged her.

Because they decided on the spur of the moment, Xu Qingwu didn't have any climbing equipment, so the two of them went directly to the mall to buy some.

Unexpectedly, just after putting the things in the trunk, Xu Qingwu received a call from Yang Yu and had to go back to work overtime. The acquisition contract was to be officially signed next week, but now he found that there was a problem with a legal document.

"Sorry, I can't go for the time being. I have something urgent to do and need to go back to the law firm."

"I send you."

"No, I'll take a taxi..."

"Get in the car."

Cen Xihuai's tone did not allow for argument. He closed the trunk and sat in the driver's seat. Xu Qingwu, who originally did not want to trouble him, had to follow him and get in the passenger seat.

Xu Qingwu was a little nervous. There had been a similar situation when she was dating He Xu before. On the way to send her back to the law firm, He Xu kept complaining, blaming her leader for not knowing how to choose the right time, blaming her for not making good arrangements, and blaming her for considering work more important than him.

Xu Qingwu asked Cen Xihuai: "You are not angry, are you?"

"Why are you angry?" Cen Xihuai asked back, not understanding why she thought so.

Xu Qingwu inexplicably felt no psychological pressure. She almost forgot that Cen Xihuai always put work first and could naturally understand her.

After returning to the law firm, Yang Yu had already arrived. Seeing her expression of looking at her in distress, Xu Qingwu patted her shoulder, and the two of them worked together to find information to solve the problem.

It was already five in the afternoon when Xu Qingwu finished work. She was thinking about contacting Cen Xihuai when she suddenly received a call from her childhood friend Zhou Zhou.

"Zhizhi, your brother Xiaozhou is back, come and greet him!"

Xu Qingwu asked with a smile: "Where are you?"

"I came to have dinner with you!" Before Xu Qingwu could reply, Zhou Zhou said, "A workaholic like you, you're not working at a law firm, are you?"

"You guessed right."

"Wait! I'll be there in half an hour."

Just as Zhou Zhou hung up the phone, Cen Xihuai sent a message on WeChat: "How long will the work take? Can we continue after dinner?"

Xu Qingwu quickly replied: "I'm sorry, my friend suddenly returned to China and asked me to have dinner with him."

"Cen Yue and the others?"

"No, his name is Zhou Zhou, you probably don't know him."

Zhou Zhou? Cen Xihuai didn't know which two characters they were, but he knew they both started with the letter Z, and two of them!

His voice dropped: "Male or female?"

"A man."

"Mind if I come along?"

Xu Qingwu obviously didn't expect him to suggest going together, but then she thought about it and realized that today was still a date, Sunday.

Xu Qingwu asked him to wait for a moment and called Zhou Zhou for his opinion. Zhou Zhou readily agreed. After Xu Qingwu replied to Cen Xihuai, he waited at the law firm.

Cen Xihuai and Zhou Zhou's cars arrived almost at the same time. Zhou Zhou called and Xu Qingwu went downstairs while answering the phone.

Zhou Zhou drove a very flashy red Mercedes, which was parked right downstairs of the law firm. He leaned against the car door, his height and long legs attracting a lot of attention.

“Zhizhi!”

Zhou Zhou ran over and wanted to put his arm around Xu Qingwu's shoulders, but she bent down to avoid him.

Xu Qingwu walked around to the passenger seat and sat down, urging him, "Hurry up and leave! You're being so exaggerated! It's really embarrassing!"

Zhou Zhou returned to the driver's seat and Xu Qingwu received Cen Xihuai's message. She clicked it and saw three simple words.

I have arrived.

As the car drove out, Xu Qingwu looked across the road in surprise and met Cen Xihuai's eyes.

Across the street, Xu Qingwu couldn't see Cen Xihuai's expression, but seeing another man's car in front of her husband, she inexplicably felt like she was being caught cheating...
