Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Suspicion of his clothes...
In just a few minutes, Qiao Wanshu's mind was in turmoil.
Originally, she was very sure that He Shengnian had no good feelings towards Xu Qinghu, but now she began to doubt her judgment.
Is beauty really such a sharp weapon? Even a rational man like He Shengnian would be affected?
Seeing Xu Qinghu pestering He Shengnian, Qiao Wanshu stopped being silent and said, "Mr. He, we've almost picked all the cherries. Let's go look somewhere else."
He Shengnian glanced at the bamboo basket, then his gaze fell on Xu Qinghu. He whispered, "Come down."
Xu Qinghu picked two more bunches of cherries after hearing this, then looked down at him. "Then hold the ladder tight and don't let me fall."
She walked down the folding ladder carefully. Her legs were smooth and beautiful, and her feet were as white as fresh snow. They flashed by in He Shengnian's view.
The man turned his head away and didn't pay much attention to her.
After landing on the ground, Xu Qinghu raised his head with a lingering feeling and sighed: "It's really nice here. I will come again in the future."
He Shengnian didn't respond. He put away the folding ladder, picked up the bamboo basket beside him, turned and walked towards Qiao Wanshu.
Seeing that he had a cold face and didn't intend to pay attention to Xu Qinghu, Qiao Wanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that He Shengnian's behavior just now was just out of politeness and upbringing, and he was not interested in Xu Qinghu.
"Let's go to the watermelon garden first," Qiao Wanshu said, walking over to He Shengnian and smiling. "Ruoxi and Zining both like watermelon. I want to pick a few more to take back."
He Shengnian placed the bamboo basket on the cart and nodded, "Okay."
Xu Qinghu had already put on his shoes and came up behind them. "It's getting dark soon, let's go quickly."
Seeing her expectant look, Qiao Wanshu wanted to ignore her, but facing the camera, she couldn't do it too obviously, so she could only nod.
Arriving at the watermelon farm, we were surprised by the variety of watermelons, including both seeded and seedless varieties, and different colored pulps. After a brief introduction, the staff picked a few popular varieties for them to sample.
"Let's choose seedless watermelon," Qiao Wanshu said to He Shengnian after eating it. "The taste and texture are good, and it's also easy to eat."
He Shengnian had no objection to the choice of melons. "Just as you said."
Xu Qinghu seemed oblivious to the exchange between the two. He walked around the watermelon garden and waved to He Shengnian from a distance. "Mr. He, I've chosen the watermelons. Can you come and help me?"
He Shengnian glanced at Qiao Wanshu and said, "I'll go over and help first."
The smile on Qiao Wanshu's face faded, but he couldn't stop it, so he said, "Since you've chosen the gourd, I'll go over and help."
Although she didn't know why Xu Qinghu was so obsessed with He Shengnian, she was also the protagonist of this date and couldn't give all the camera to Xu Qinghu.
After saying that, he walked over with He Shengnian.
"Look!" Xu Qinghu pointed at the watermelons on the ground, his eyes bright as he said, "These two watermelons have wide veins and small navels. They must be delicious."
He Shengnian leaned over and picked the watermelons. Each watermelon weighed more than ten pounds. Fortunately, watermelons had a long storage time, and there were many people in the cabin, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to finish them when he took them back.
"This is a red-fleshed watermelon," Qiao Wanshu suggested, "would you like to pick a few with yellow or orange flesh?"
"Sure." Xu Qinghu looked around and found the variety she mentioned.
The two of them went over to pick the melons, while He Shengnian worked hard as a porter.
The date, which should have been extremely awkward, turned out not to be as tense as the audience had imagined.
[I thought the two would fight over He Shengnian, but it turned out to be so peaceful. This shouldn't happen.]
[Xu Qinghu declined to comment, but Qiao Wanshu and He Shengnian were both respectable people, and such a situation would definitely not occur.]
[Although, I think Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian have a pretty good match, even better than him and Qiao Wanshu.]
[+1, Although He Shengnian's attitude towards Xu Qinghu is very cold, there's an inexplicable feeling that he's being honest but saying one thing and doing another.]
[Hilarious! Do I need you to remember how much He Shengnian hated Xu Qinghu? If it weren't for their date, he wouldn't have bothered with Xu Qinghu at all.]
[With Qiao Qiao around, President He won't be tempted by Xu Qinghu. A couple can be unpopular but not weird.]
After picking the watermelons, the three of them went to the vegetable garden and selected a few varieties to bring back to the cabin to cook.
At this time, the sky outside gradually darkened.
He Shengnian put the fruits and vegetables he had picked in the trunk. When he turned around, Xu Qinghu waved to him and said, "It's too late. Let's eat first and then go back."
There are many farmhouses near the picking garden. Xu Qinghu smiled and said, "I just searched the ratings online and there is a shop very close to us."
She stared at He Shengnian motionlessly, obviously wanting to go over and punch in.
"Go ahead," Qiao Wanshu said without waiting for He Shengnian to speak, "We won't be able to make it in time for dinner if we go back to the cabin now."
He Shengnian did not refuse, but drove to the farmhouse Xu Qinghu mentioned and had a relatively quiet dinner.
During the meal, apart from the conversation between Xu Qinghu and Qiao Wanshu, He Shengnian rarely spoke.
Only when Xu Qinghu specifically asked him a question would his eyes fall on her.
[Mr. He is so cold. If I were Xu Qinghu, I would definitely ignore him.]
[It seems that Mr. He was not very satisfied with this date, and his attitude towards Qiao Wanshu has also changed.]
[It's all Xu Qinghu's fault. If He Shengnian and Qiao Qiao were on a date alone, they would definitely have a lot to talk about, but Xu Qinghu ruined it.]
[He Shengnian probably doesn't like this kind of three-way date. He has a calm personality and is more suited to a gradual approach.]
[No, I still want to see him and Qiao Qiao continue to develop.]
After dinner, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
The three of them didn't delay any longer and drove towards the cabin.
Xu Qinghu and Qiao Wanshu sat in the back seat, and neither of them spoke.
Xu Qinghu closed her eyes, a look of weariness on her face. Qiao Wanshu glanced at her, unsure whether she was asleep or not.
She looked at He Shengnian who was driving and said softly, "Mr. He, thank you for writing my name on the date card. Although there were some minor incidents on this date, I am still very happy."
"Well," He Shengnian said, looking at the road ahead, his voice low and full of magnetism, "That's good."
Qiao Wanshu noticed that his hand was on the steering wheel. He was wearing a valuable haute couture watch, and his knuckles were slender and distinct. His low-key expression revealed an elegance and dignity that was difficult to conceal, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.
Qiao Wanshu's eyes changed slightly. She had always felt that He Shengnian's temperament was different from ordinary people, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, He Shengnian was a first-generation entrepreneur, so it was normal for him to have an extraordinary temperament.
But after this date, when she looked at He Shengnian again, she felt that there was something different about him.
His clothes may seem simple, but they are actually very exquisite, and both his clothes and shoes are of great origin.
That is not a value aesthetic that can be developed overnight, nor is it a brand customization that can be bought with money. Instead, it is a low-key and restrained attitude that can only be cultivated by a family with sufficient background.
Is He Shengnian's information incomplete?
Qiao Wanshu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't initiate the conversation, Qiao Wanshu continued, "Why did you arrange the date at the picking garden? Is there any special reason?"
He Shengnian stopped the car at the traffic light and explained in a low voice: "The atmosphere in the picking garden is relatively relaxed, and communication is not too obscure."
"That makes sense," Qiao Wanshu said, looking at his profile. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known there was such a beautiful picking garden in the suburbs."
He Shengnian said: "If you are interested, you can go again in the future."
"Well," Qiao Wanshu smiled and said, "This will probably become an unforgettable memory for me."
Hearing this, He Shengnian glanced at her sideways. Noticing his gaze, Qiao Wanshu smiled at him, and her beautiful face softened.
"I haven't asked you what you usually do for work," Qiao Wanshu said, opening the conversation. "Your off-get off work hours don't seem to be regular."
"I handle cases related to our partners," He Shengnian said without explaining his job in detail. "When I have social engagements, I leave work late. Otherwise, I leave work normally."
"Will you be very busy at work? I've seen you working overtime in the living room several times."
"Occasionally," He Shengnian said, "When I get a bigger collaboration, I have to work all the time."
Qiao Wanshu was silent for a few seconds, "Then it must have been very hard for you." His tone revealed admiration and heartache for He Shengnian.
[Wow, Qiao Qiao is so caring. If I were He Shengnian, I would definitely be touched.]
[Mr. He is usually very busy, so he needs someone like Qiao Qiao who understands his feelings. He must be locked up for me.]
[As expected, Qiao Qiao is a perfect match with everyone.]
[The fight has already begun, Mr. He, give us some strength and try to take down Qiao Qiao!]
"It's okay," He Shengnian said calmly, "This is my job."
Qiao Wanshu was about to say something else when Xu Qinghu slowly opened his eyes and asked with a hint of weariness in his voice, "What are you talking about?"
She yawned and leaned lazily back in her chair. "Is this a work-related topic? I seem to hear these two words in my dreams, struggling to get up and go to work."
Hearing this, Qiao Wanshu's face changed. She thought that Xu Qinghu woke up at a very bad time. She could have had a more in-depth conversation with He Shengnian, but now she could only find another opportunity.
[Hahaha, is this the mental state of a corporate slave? Even when asleep, work dominates them.]
[Although I don't like Xu Qinghu, as a fellow office worker, I still feel sorry for her for a second.]
[Is Xu Qinghu really asleep? Is he just pretending?]
[She must have fallen asleep, her eyes are dazed.]
[What a shame! With her around, Qiao Qiao and Mr. He can't have a good chat.]
"We're talking about Mr. He's work," Qiao Wanshu said, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Xu Qinghu shook his head, his voice a little hazy, "I'll bear it, go back to sleep."
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were tinged with tears, making her look pitiful.
No matter how much Qiao Wanshu disliked her, he still felt terrified when facing such a magical work of the Creator.
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room.
[When will I see Xu Qinghu's face and stop screaming?]
[This is why everyone dislikes Xu Qinghu, but I still like her. Beauty is justice!]
[She's so cute when she yawns and rubs her eyes. If no one wants to hold her hand, could you consider me?]
[Go upstairs and dream your dreams.]
Xu Qinghu was like a soft and quiet kitten. He clearly wanted to sleep, but he was forcing himself not to. Even though he didn't speak, he was already very present.
Qiao Wanshu could only suppress his suspicion of He Shengnian and change the subject: "It's so late, everyone should be asleep."
