Chapter 65: It’s only been a short while and you miss me already?

Lin Ziqiu gave the sweet potato in his hand to Du Wenhui and stood up to greet him, "Why did you take so long?"

Zhong Heyang raised his hand and pinched her face. "It's only been a short while, and you miss me already?"

Being teased by him, Lin Ziqiu couldn't help but blushing.

"Well... I'll go outside to help, you guys chat..."

Du Wenhui felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she quickly got up and left.

When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned to Tian Xiaobo and said, "You are the one who prepared the separate table tonight. They have already started the feast. Don't you want to go and take a look?"

"Okay." He looked at Lin Ziqiu with complicated eyes, "I'll go over first."

Lin Ziqiu nodded.

Zhong Heyang blocked her view and slowly tightened his hand around her waist, "Are you hungry?"

"One thing, you haven't eaten yet, right? How about I make a bowl of noodles and we eat together?"

Zhong Heyang looked at her red lips and swallowed, "Okay."

Du Wenhui and Tian Xiaobo stood outside waiting for news.

"You like Sister Lin, right?"

Du Wenhui broke the silence of the moment.

Tian Xiaobo froze, and he subconsciously retorted, "No."

"The look in your eyes when you like someone can't lie."

"Perhaps it's inappropriate for me, an outsider, to say this. Even if you try your best, can you still be better than Captain Zhong?"

Her words seemed like poison, piercing his heart mercilessly.

Tian Xiaobo thought he had hidden his feelings for Lin Ziqiu very well, but today they were easily seen through by an outsider.

He turned away with a sullen face and without saying a word.

The fact that Du Wenhui took the initiative to tell him all this showed that she would not gossip in front of Lin Ziqiu. She was a clear-headed person.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to wait for news?"

···

There is always a way out.

Ruan Qing was just passing by, but ended up hearing their conversation.

She followed Tian Xiaobo to the shade of the trees outside the cafeteria and called out to him, "If Lin Ziqiu really wanted to spend her whole life with him, she wouldn't have shown up in public."

Tian Xiaobo suddenly turned around, frowning, "What did you say?"

Ruan Qing crossed his arms over his chest and kept a certain distance from him. "You don't have to be so hostile to me. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I think in a sense, we are in the same boat."

Tian Xiaobo refused to admit it, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Ruan Qing smiled faintly, "Aren't you tired of pretending for so long? Think about it, Lin Ziqiu and Zhong Heyang are not from the same world, can she really be happy?"

Her words sobered Tian Xiaobo up instantly, "You can't get Zhong Heyang yourself, so you want to drag me down with you, how disgusting!"

"nausea?"

Ruan Qing seemed to have heard a huge joke: "If you weren't disgusting, you wouldn't have had such inappropriate thoughts about a married woman."

"Besides, I have known Zhong Heyang for more than 20 years. If it were you, would you be willing?"

Tian Xiaobo was stumped by her words.

If he could have grown up with Lin Ziqiu, he would never give Lin Ziqiu the chance to marry someone else.

What a pity!

It’s all that damn Lin Dahai’s fault!

Not only did he harm Aunt Yan, he also ruined Lin Ziqiu's life!

"what do you want to do?"

Ruan Qing's eyes flashed with determination, "I want you to give up the chance tonight."

···

When Jiang Lin broke the news, he sent people to look for Tian Xiaobo for a long time.

Seeing him slowly coming in from outside, she scolded him, "Where have you been? It's so easy to find you!"

"What's wrong?" Tian Xiaobo responded indifferently.

Lin Ziqiu and Zhong Heyang also came over at this time, "I heard from Uncle Jiang that your dishes are very popular, and they want you to join the kitchen team."

"Xiao Bo, congratulations!" The onlookers cast envious glances at him.

But at this moment, Tian Xiaobo shook his head and said, "I don't want to go."

Jiang Lin asked angrily: "What did you say? Say it to me again!"

"Manager Jiang, I'm really sorry for disappointing you and Sister Xiaoqiu... I don't want to go to the kitchen."

Jiang Lin's face was filled with disappointment. His voice was shaking with anger. "You...what's wrong with you? Why don't you want to go all of a sudden? Do you know how rare this opportunity is?"

Lin Ziqiu was also confused by this situation.

Wasn’t this agreed upon long ago? If you get the appreciation of your superiors, you can fill the vacancy in the kitchen team.

Isn’t this the opportunity Tian Xiaobo has always wanted?

"Xiao Bo, you have to think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have such an opportunity again in your life."

Tian Xiaobo lowered his head, not daring to look at her, "I am responsible for my own actions, I will go and talk to them myself."

"Tian Xiaobo!"

An anxious voice came from the crowd. Looking for the source of the voice, it was Tian Xiaofeng!

He pushed the crowd aside, rushed forward and punched Tian Xiaobo, "I think you are really crazy!"

This punch directly broke the corner of Tian Xiaobo's mouth.

"Are you worthy of all of us?" His eyes were red. "I won't allow you to ruin your own future!"

Tian Xiaobo was knocked to the ground, supporting himself with one hand.

Tian Xiaofeng wanted to take action but was stopped by Lin Ziqiu.

"Xiaofeng, calm down."

"How can I calm down..." Tian Xiaobo grabbed Lin Ziqiu's arm, his voice choked with sobs, "Sister Xiaoqiu, please help me persuade him!"

Lin Ziqiu felt bad, so she turned around and pulled Jiang Lin aside: "Uncle Jiang, why don't you go and discuss it with them? We should agree to it first, and then persuade Xiao Bo when we get back?"

"Such an opportunity is rare. We can't give it up just because he was confused for a moment."

Jiang Lin knew this truth very well.

"But he asked to see him in person!"

What do you think of Tian Xiaobo in this state?

This also stumped Lin Ziqiu.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Tian Xiaofeng seemed to have thought of something, and immediately rushed to his brother and whispered a few words. Tian Xiaobo's pupils suddenly contracted, and he nervously grabbed Tian Xiaofeng's hand and shook his head.

"I'm not trying to scare you. If you dare to give up, I'll let everyone know about it!"

The two brothers were playing charades and confused everyone.

It is true that there is always someone who can defeat you. Tian Xiaobo finally compromised.

If he really told so many people that he liked Lin Ziqiu, he would completely lose Lin Ziqiu.

Given her personality, she might resign.

She had finally found this job, and he couldn't destroy her future.

Ruan Qing wanted him to give up the opportunity tonight simply because he hoped that he could stay in the state-owned hotel and continue to spend every day with Lin Ziqiu.

Love grows over time, not to mention that his existence is a thorn in Zhong Heyang's heart.

As long as he hides his feelings for Lin Ziqiu, if Lin Ziqiu doesn't notice, she will think that Zhong Heyang is being unreasonable, and a rift will arise between the two of them.

Once this happens, he and Ruan Qing will have a chance.

"Okay, I promise."

Tian Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the farce coming to an end, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Jiang Lin was worried about Tian Xiaobo, so he followed him in.

Lin Ziqiu walked up to Zhong Heyang and said, "Why don't you go and take a look too? If anything happens, you can help by saying a few words."

Zhong Heyang frowned. Seeing his wife worrying so much about her "love rival", he became jealous again.

But if Tian Xiaobo continued to work for Lin Ziqiu, it would make him even more upset.

Captain Zhong, who usually didn't like attending such occasions, went to accompany the guests for drinks with great effort before the matter was settled.

But Tian Xiaobo changed his mind.

Isn't this just nonsense?

"Okay, then wait for me to go home together."

Since his wife had spoken, Zhong Heyang had no reason to refuse and could only agree.
