Chapter 205 Brother Doesn't Keep His Word

"How can I invite a client out for dinner and have him pay? How much do I transfer to you?"

As Tang Yutong spoke, he took out his cell phone, ready to transfer money to him.

Chu Ci was a little surprised to hear this, then said with a smile:

"I'm a grown man and I don't have the habit of asking women to pay for meals. Besides, the money is not much, and it will be troublesome to transfer it back and forth. Forget it."

As Chu Ci spoke, he walked towards the restaurant entrance. Tang Yutong looked at his back and couldn't describe her feelings. Shouldn't he have told her earlier that he wanted to pay? If she had known, she wouldn't have eaten so much. She was still feeling uncomfortable because she was too full.

On the way back to the company, Tang Yutong sat in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini, rubbing her bloated stomach while secretly looking at Chu Ci who was concentrating on driving.

The sunlight filtered through the car window, casting tiny shadows on his profile. This seemingly cynical man didn't seem as annoying as imagined.

After all, the ones who spend the money are the bosses, and Tang Yutong's previous dissatisfaction with him disappeared in an instant.

When the two returned to the company, lunch break had just passed.

The receptionist was sitting upright at her post. When she saw Tang Yutong coming back with that handsome man, her eyes suddenly lit up and her gossip spirit was burning. This was the second time today. What was their relationship?

Tang Yutong completely ignored the inquiring gaze of the receptionist and led Chu Ci straight through the office area.

When she opened the glass door of her office, she deliberately maintained a professional distance:

"Please come in, Mr. Chu."

Tang Yutong looked at Chu Ci, and then asked in a businesslike tone:

"Would you like coffee or tea?"

"Is there any wine?" Chu Ci leaned lazily on the sofa and collapsed directly on it.

"Um... isn't drinking during work hours appropriate? I'll treat you to a celebratory drink once we discuss our cooperation."

"That's what you said."

Chu Ci smiled meaningfully, and then continued:

"I don't like bitter drinks. Do you have milk tea? If not, plain water will do."

Tang Yutong rolled her eyes secretly. She had clearly seen him drinking coffee in the meeting room this morning, but now he was being picky.

She was too lazy to serve the old man, so she went straight to the tea room and poured a glass of boiled water.

When I came back with the cup of water, the familiar game sound effects hit me.

Chu Ci was seen slumped on the sofa, his fingers flying across the screen of his mobile phone, as comfortable as if he were at home.

Tang Yutong's temples were throbbing. What about the cooperation they had agreed on?

She put down the water cup heavily, and the glass made a crisp sound when it hit the coffee table:

"Boss Chu, when do you think we can start discussing cooperation?"

Chu Ci said without raising his head:

"What's the rush? Talking about work right after dinner isn't good for digestion. If you have something to do, go do it first. Wait until I finish this promotion match."

Tang Yutong took a deep breath and unconsciously dug her nails into her palms.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a client, she really wanted to ask this Buddha to leave. Suppressing her anger, she turned and walked towards the desk:

"Then please do as you please."

She returned to her desk and began processing the paperwork she hadn't had time to do that morning.

Once Tang Yutong gets down to work, he becomes like a different person.

The sound of keyboard tapping continued, the rustling sound of flipping through documents came one after another, and even Chu Ci's occasional "Double kill" became background noise.

When the clock struck four in the afternoon, Tang Yutong finally closed the last document. She stretched her stiff shoulders and was about to speak, but suddenly froze.

Chu Ci actually fell asleep on the sofa. Did he really treat this place like his own home? Did the sound of her typing and flipping through files actually help him sleep?

Tang Yutong sat on the chair, looking at his sleeping face. He tilted his head slightly, breathing evenly, with his hair hanging down in front of his forehead, showing a rare kind of well-behaved look.

He looked completely different from before, and she didn't know whether to wake him up or cover him with a blanket.

In the end, Tang Yutong compromised. It seemed that there was no way to talk about cooperation today.

She stood up, picked up the blanket on the other single sofa, tidied it up and gently covered him with it. Tang Yutong was worried that she would wake him up, but her worry was completely unnecessary. Chu Ci had no intention of waking up.

Mu Nanyan worked very efficiently today and had completed the day's work by four o'clock.

She glanced at the time. If she went home from get off work now, she would just be able to catch up with Chenchen getting out of school. She hadn't picked up Chenchen from school during this period of time, and she still felt very guilty about it.

Thinking of this, she quickly tidied up her desk, grabbed her car keys and walked out.

The sunset was just right, and the golden sunlight was shining on the sycamore tree at the school gate.

When Mu Nanyan parked the car, the school gate was already filled with waiting parents standing in groups of three or four. She straightened her hair that was messed up by the wind and walked quickly to the front row.

Before she could stand still, a small figure with a bow tied on her head came into view.

"Beautiful auntie!"

Su Xiaonuan was like a happy little bird, running towards her with her arms open.

When Mu Nanyan saw Su Xiaonuan, she subconsciously thought of Su Muyang. She had never seen Su Muyang since that night, and she didn't know how he was doing recently.

At the same time, Mu Nanyan was also afraid of meeting Su Muyang at the school gate. After all, when she came to pick up Chenchen from school before, it was basically him who came to pick up Su Xiaonuan from school. If she really met him, Mu Nanyan didn't know how to face him.

In the end, Mu Nanyan squatted down and caught the soft little ball.

"Auntie, give me a hug!"

Mu Nanyan was so adorable looking at her that she immediately picked her up.

Su Xiaonuan happily hugged Mu Nanyan's neck and said:

"Beautiful aunt, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Mu Nanyan gently pinched her chubby cheeks: "Auntie misses you too. Have you been good in school recently?"

"I'm such a good boy! The teacher even gave me a red flower!"

"Xiao Nuan is awesome."

When Su Xiaonuan heard Mu Nanyan praising her, she immediately puffed out her chest with pride, but the next second she suddenly pouted and said aggrievedly:

"It's just that my brother doesn't keep his word..."

"Hmm?" Mu Nanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her in confusion.

"My brother said he would bring me the breakfast you made today, but he completely forgot about it! My stomach is growling with hunger!"

Su Xiaonuan spoke while gesturing angrily, and her appearance made Mu Nanyan laugh.

"Pretty auntie, you're still smiling. Don't you like me anymore?"

Su Xiaonuan felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and Mu Nanyan immediately put away her smile and coaxed in a low voice:

"No, Auntie likes you the most."

Mu Nanyan then recalled what Su Xiaonuan had just said. It turned out that the thing Chenchen said he forgot to bring this morning was breakfast for Xiaonuan, but why didn't Chenchen tell her?
