"I didn't realize you were so serious." Nantian blinked and chuckled, with the ending tone rising slightly, which made people feel itchy.

Sang Tianen didn't really want to talk about love with Nantian. Firstly, they were not familiar with each other, and secondly, she felt a little uncomfortable with the handsome guy in front of her, and she couldn't explain why.

But she didn't want to change the subject at this time, as that would be too deliberate. After thinking about it, she decided to remain calm and ate the skewers in silence, hoping that the other party would be more discerning and stop talking about these things.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. He put on disposable gloves and picked up a braised duck head and started to eat it.

The waiter brought the dishes one after another. Various grilled skewers, oysters, mantis shrimps, and lobsters were placed on the table one by one. The three of them began to feast on the food.

Halfway through the meal, Sang Tianen felt like going to the bathroom, so he said, "I'm going to the bathroom." He took a step with his long legs and walked away.

When the people walked away, Nantian immediately nudged Yan Zheng's elbow with his elbow: "Xiao Zheng, your female colleague is pretty good!"

Yan Zheng wiped his hands and looked at him amusedly: "Why, do you have any ideas?"

Nantian nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I am already thirty years old. Although I look young, my age is there. I really want to get married."

"Don't judge a person by their appearance." Yan Zheng threw the tissue he had used to wipe his fingers into the trash can. "It doesn't matter if you want to marry anyone, but don't marry her."

"Why? Do you like her?" Nantian asked puzzledly.

Yan Zheng's expression froze, and Nantian immediately pointed at him excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent: "Ah, your old tree has blossomed."

Yan Zheng coughed twice in embarrassment. He and Nan Tian had been classmates for many years and had been friends for more than ten years. Although they were not related by blood, they were like family and understood each other very well.

"Forget it, since you like me, I won't flirt with you." Nantian became listless like a deflated ball.

"I admit that I have some feelings for her, but it's really impossible for us to be together." Yan Zheng's eyes fell on the salt and pepper shrimp in front of him, and his tone was light, "She likes rich men."

"I also like rich women." Nantian sighed, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widened. "By the way, didn't your dad just introduce you to a blind date?"

"It's over." Yan Zheng poked the shrimp shell with his chopsticks, "We have a conflict of ideas."

"It's better to break up. That woman doesn't look good." Nan Tian consoled her and then asked, "How rich is your colleague looking for? Is my wealth enough?"

"You need to ask her about this." Yan Zheng stared at him with a half-smile, picked up an oyster and handed it to him, "I advise you to stop thinking about her."

Nantian picked up the oyster meat and was about to eat it when he paused and put his chopsticks down. He turned to Yan Zheng with confusion in his eyes: "But, Xiao Zheng, I think she seems to be interested in you."

"What a joke." Yan Zheng also picked up an oyster and sneered at Nantian's guess, but his mind couldn't help but recall that stormy night.

He clearly saw the undisguised desire in Sang Tianen's eyes, and he thought she was interested in him, but her attitude later made him...

Thinking of this, the smile on Yan Zheng's face disappeared. Falling in love at first sight with a woman who was five years younger than him was already funny enough, but what was even funnier was that he developed some unrealistic fantasies just because of a few casual words of concern from the other party. This was the most embarrassing thing.

He is over thirty years old and should be more down-to-earth and pragmatic instead of yearning for love like a young man.

Nantian didn't take it seriously. He just casually told Sang Tianen that Yan Zheng didn't eat spicy food, but it turned out that Yan Zheng didn't order any spicy food at all.

The mantis shrimps and oysters served were larger than usual, obviously they were increased in quantity. These foods were deliberately placed around Yan Zheng.

Even if he is your boss, you don't need to please him to this extent. Unless you are interested in this man, you will not be so attentive.

"I don't think you should be so self-deprecating. You are not bad looking and you have a gentle personality. It's normal for me to like you." Nantian still believed in his intuition as a man.

Yan Zheng picked up a lobster and stuffed it into his mouth: "Can we not mention her?"

Nantian took out the lobster, glanced in the direction of the toilet, and asked curiously: "Why hasn't Sang Tianen come back yet? Could he have fallen into the toilet?"

Yan Zheng also glanced at the corridor and frowned: "It has indeed been a long time."

"Why don't you go to the bathroom and shout?" Nantian joked when he saw his concerned look.

"No." Yan Zheng started twisting the shrimp head again, "What if I'm constipated?"

Nantian showed a disgusted expression: "Brother, can you please not talk about things that make me feel disgusted while eating?"

"Then don't eat." Yan Zheng began to push the plate of food away.

Nantian got anxious and stood up and moved the lobster closer to him: "That won't do. It's rare to meet a woman who is willing to treat me to a free meal. I must eat more."

"Your previous partners were so stingy with you? They didn't even treat you to a meal?"

"I'm not stingy, but they're after my body, so the food I eat isn't free." Nan Tian curled his lips, looking disdainful. "Now when I go out to eat with women, I split the bill. That way, we don't end up in a relationship and people accuse me of eating and drinking for free."

Yan Zheng opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know where to start, so he just concentrated on eating.

When Sang Tianen came out of the restroom, Yan Zheng was the only one left at the table. She placed her phone on the table, looked around, and asked, "Where are your friends?"

"I have something to do, so I'll go back first." Yan Zheng replied calmly.

In fact, he also wanted to go with them, but it was too rude to just pat his butt and leave after eating. He couldn't do it, so he had to stay.

Sang Tianen looked Yan Zheng up and down: "Are you satisfied with the food?"

"Yeah." Yan Zheng replied nonchalantly, planning to exchange a few more pleasantries and then find a random excuse to go home.

"Are you still angry now?"

Yan Zheng was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly said such a thing, and looked at her with confusion.

Sang Tianen pursed his lips and said, "Minister Yan, I know I have a bad personality and sometimes I speak without restraint. I often offend people without even realizing it. If there was anything that made you feel uncomfortable before, I hope you can forgive me."

Yan Zheng looked at Sang Tianen deeply, was silent for a while and said: "No, you didn't do anything wrong."
