After watching Han Jun's car drive away, Rong Jingchen said to Lin Ximan: "Let's go too." But he had not let go of her hand since he had been holding her.
The two of them walked hand in hand on the main street of the palace. Lin Ximan didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just said something meaningless: "Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"
Rong Jingchen said the most mischievous words in a gentle tone, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, almost three years. I haven't been doing well recently. I have been looking for my little girl. She moved away without leaving me a single word. If I hadn't seen the report about her in the newspaper, I wouldn't know where to find her."
It was a little funny to Lin Ximan when she heard Rong Jingchen speak in this tone for the first time. She glanced at Rong Jingchen and said, "So pitiful! Then why didn't she contact you? Think about whether you are the reason."
Seeing his partner being naughty, Rong Jingchen smiled lovingly and answered her, "Alas, I have pledged my life to my country, and there are some things I cannot control."
"..." Lin Ximan was silent. She understood that military orders were as heavy as mountains. She also knew that some things were beyond their control.
The two men walked into the parking lot while talking nonsense, because they both knew that now was not the time to talk about things, and now was just a chance to warm up the atmosphere.
"Beep, beep." The car door was opened by the remote control car key, and Lin Ximan gave Rong Jingchen a wink to let him get in the car.
At that time, there was no such thing as remote control car keys. Rong Jingchen had been to many places in China and abroad, but had never seen such a thing.
"What's the new high-tech from your factory?"
"Yes, this model is a new model, it has not been launched yet, and there is only one of it."
Rong Jingchen sat in the front seat. He watched as Lin Ximan didn't use any keys. She just pressed a button and the car started and drove away without even having to shift gears.
Of course, that was what Rong Jingchen thought. In fact, Lin Ximan was in D gear. This was an automatic transmission car. When she was in D gear, he thought she was releasing the handbrake.
The various decorations in the car are also very high-end, and you can tell at a glance that this car is worth a lot of money. There are also many buttons in the car that he doesn't know the function of.
Of course he didn't know that this car was the next model of the car factory, and it would be launched next year. With a little bit of black technology, it would push her car factory into the trend again, and this model could reach the level of a D-class car.
Because he knew that it was normal to improve modern vehicles bit by bit, so that her car would always be of the highest end and her money would continue to flow into her pocket.
The department store in the palace is very close to the Imperial Kitchen, and it only takes about five minutes to drive there. Rong Jingchen had to get off the car before he even started to study its functions.
Men, no matter what era they are from, have different feelings towards cars, and Rong Jingchen is no exception.
Han Jun arrived a few minutes earlier than them and was waiting in the lobby. When he saw them come in, they went up to the box on the second floor together.
There were about ten people sitting inside, both men and women. It seemed that they were the last to arrive. As soon as Rong Jingchen entered, everyone stood up and greeted him, "Brother Chen" and "Brother Chen".
"Xiao Man is here too? Hey Brother Jun, where did you meet Xiao Man?" Zhou Dalei was standing at the lower right hand side of Zhongbin.
Lin Ximan politely greeted him, "Brother Lei, are you surprised?"
"It's quite unexpected. Come and sit here." He called to the people around him and let them move down, leaving a seat for Lin Ximan.
What he didn't expect was that his original arrangement was to let Xiaoman sit below him, so that everyone present could see clearly the position of Xiaoman in his heart. However, he didn't expect that his seat was taken by Rong Jingchen, and he pulled Xiaoman to sit in the seat where Zhou Lei was originally going to sit.
Brother Chen actually let Xiao Man sit next to him! This is illogical! And Brother Chen actually pulled the little girl's arm!
Rong Jingchen did not correct Zhou Shilei for calling her Xiaoman. After all, he and Lin Ximan were just a couple at best, and it was inappropriate for someone to call her sister-in-law, and it would not be good for her reputation.
People who didn't know Lin Ximan were very curious about her identity, but no one dared to ask. It seemed that she was familiar with Han Jun and Zhou Shilei, but she was not from the compound.
Because Lin Ximan was so beautiful, they speculated that one of them had taken a fancy to her, but judging from their behavior, it didn't seem like it. Moreover, the two of them treated her equally, so they thought her family background was not low.
In fact, most of the guests invited today are children from the first-tier families in the compound and those who have a good relationship with them. Usually, these people have their own jobs, so Han Jun and Zhou Shilei, the two unemployed vagrants, will play with their younger brothers.
Now only Han Jun knew about her relationship with Rong Jingchen. Zhou Shilei also had doubts about Rong Jingchen's overly ambiguous attitude towards her, so he was thinking about asking him in detail later.
At this time, a lot of dishes had been served one after another. Since Zhou Shilei was the initiator, he invited Rong Jingchen to eat.
"Brother Chen, come and try this dish. It's said to be a signature dish, just right for you to replenish your body. Besides, this restaurant has just opened not long ago, and the chef is said to be the heir of the imperial chef. Xiao Man, why don't you try it too?"
Lin Ximan, who was holding a soda, turned her head to look at Rong Jingchen and asked, "What's for you? Do you want some supplements?" After asking, she glanced at Rong Jingchen from head to toe, which made Rong Jingchen feel particularly embarrassed. The topic of men's supplements would make people have bad associations.
Rong Jingchen raised his left hand to block Lin Ximan's eyes, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "What are you looking at? I was injured a while ago, but I've recovered a long time ago. Don't listen to their nonsense."
"Are you hurt?" Lin Ximan pulled down Rong Jingchen's hand and asked softly.
"Well, it's not a big deal. I'll tell you in detail later. There are a few people at this table that I don't know so I can't tell you."
"Okay, I understand." After saying that, he glanced at the wine glass in front of him and asked in a low voice, "The doctor didn't tell you to avoid certain foods when you were discharged from the hospital, right?"
"No, don't worry, I'm fine now." He was very touched by the little girl's concern. Under the table, he touched the little girl's soft little hand again, and he was willing to put down the pair of jade hands only when someone talked to him.
Half of the wine had been drunk while everyone was chatting and laughing. The few people who were brought into the circle were also desperately flattering the people at the top, including Lin Ximan.
Originally the atmosphere at the table was quite good, but no one expected that the man sitting at the very bottom and his female companion disliked Lin Ximan.
They are all flatterers, but the man around her keeps praising that vixen, which makes her feel a sense of crisis. She is afraid that after this time her man will look for that vixen.
"Sister Lin is so beautiful! I, a girl, was staring at her in amazement. I didn't dare to talk to you just now!" Although the woman was not very old, she was older than Lin Ximan and was pretty. From her accent, it seemed that she was from Kyoto.
"Ah! Really? I feel a little embarrassed when my sister praises me like that." Lin Ximan took a sip of the slightly cold tea.
