Xia Ning was completely innocent. She did know it was a male model bar, but her purpose was to drink, nothing more.
Xu Lai washed the vegetables and prepared to cook them. Xia Ning, seeing this, also prepared to go back. She had only come to visit and hadn't intended to stay for dinner; her grandmother was still waiting for her at home.
Xu Lai asked her to stay twice, but Xia Ning still rode out on her electric scooter and sped away.
As Zhang Ye was passing the village committee, he was about to drive home when he saw Xia Ning. He closed the half-open car door and walked towards the roadside.
Xia Ning turned his face away, twisted the accelerator to the floor, and drove off.
Zhang Ye laughed in exasperation, "Let's see how long you can hide!"
That night, Song Han wanted to sleep with Xu Lai, saying, "Sister, I want to sleep with you. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I want to chat with you for a while."
Xu Lai moved the blanket to the side, patted the bed, and said, "Get on."
Song Han threw the blanket on the bed, took off her shoes and got into bed. She was a little reluctant to leave. "Sister, it's so relaxing here. I'll miss you, and Grandpa and Grandma too."
Xu Lai patted her hair and said, "Come visit me during your holidays."
Song Han asked the handsome guy next door, "Sis, are you and the guy next door a couple?"
Xu Lai hadn't intended to hide it anyway, so when she asked, she said, "We got together not long ago."
Song Han got excited, "I knew it, you two are a perfect match, I've really shipped you!"
Xu Lai was a little embarrassed. "Alright, alright, I'm getting shy if you keep talking about it."
The next day at noon, she asked Song Han to pack her luggage and then took her home. This time, she also met her cousin, who was about to enter his senior year of high school and was taking summer classes, so they hadn't run into each other before.
He was a little shy. He called out, "Cousin," and then sat down quietly.
Xu Lai dropped the person off, politely declined her aunt's offer to stay for dinner, and drove directly to the county.
She hadn't been here for a while, and this time she planned to go shopping and wait for Zhao Qingyun to get off work.
She borrowed Xu Shen's car again this time. Xu Lai felt it was too much trouble for him, since she didn't have a car at home and it was inconvenient for her to do anything.
She drove to the 4S store to look at cars. She had been making short videos for so long and had earned some money. With her previous savings, buying a car for under 200,000 yuan shouldn't be a problem.
The salespeople were exceptionally enthusiastic. Xu Lai spent a long time looking around and test-driving several cars. After considering everything, she decided to buy an Audi A3.
Xu Lai discussed the price with them and settled on a total price of 190,000 yuan. They gave her some free gifts, and she paid a deposit first before signing the contract.
Since she had to wait a few days to pick up the car, Xu Lai went to Zhao Qingyun's company. It was her first time there; she had only heard of the company before.
She gazed at the tall buildings in the distance, the most prosperous area of Heng County, where his company was located. Xu Lai suddenly felt that the two of them were never financially compatible.
As soon as she entered the company and went to the front desk, she said she was looking for General Manager Zhao. The front desk asked if she had an appointment. Xu Lai looked embarrassed and didn't answer him.
The receptionist smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you can make an appointment first. We can't let you in without an appointment."
Xu Lai had no choice but to send him a WeChat message: "I'm downstairs at your company, are you free now?"
Zhao Qingyun was waiting to get off work in her office when she received the message. She left her office, pressed the elevator button, and replied, "I'm coming down now."
Xu Lai sat down on the sofa and looked around somewhat boredly.
Three minutes later, Zhao Qingyun strode up to her, took her hand, and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Xu Lai took his hand and said, "I took Hanhan home today, and then I had nothing else to do, so I came here to hang out."
Zhao Qingyun told the receptionist, "When my girlfriend comes over in the future, she can come upstairs directly."
The receptionist nodded, but was inwardly shocked. Mr. Zhao actually had a girlfriend. Well, now the dreams of all the female employees in the company who wanted to be the boss's wife were shattered.
Xu Lai followed him all the way to his office. Zhao Qingyun asked her to sit down on the sofa. Xu Lai thought he was still busy, but Zhao Qingyun smiled and said, "There's nothing to do. I've wanted to leave work for a while, but the company has a time limit for leaving get off work, and the boss has to abide by it."
Zhao Qingyun didn't want to go home for dinner tonight. He squeezed her hand and said, "Can we eat out tonight? We haven't gone on a date since we got together."
Xu Lai leaned on his shoulder and said, "That's what I was thinking when I came here today."
So she had already told her grandparents that she wouldn't be coming home for dinner that night, and that she had already bought the groceries so they could eat by themselves.
Zhao Qingyun stayed with her for a while, then Xu Lai told him to go back to work. Even if he finished his work, he couldn't keep hanging around with her forever, could he?
When he got off work, the two went straight to the underground parking garage. Xu Lai pointed outside and said, "My car is still parked outside."
Zhao Qingyun was somewhat surprised: "You bought a car?"
Xu Lai realized he had misunderstood and explained, "I was driving Xu Shen's car, but I did go to the 4S store to look at cars today."
Zhao Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll come back to drive it later."
Then he asked, "How was your experience today? Which one did you like?"
Xu Lai told him about her car-hunting experience and the model she had chosen. Zhao Qingyun nodded and said, "Not bad, it suits you."
Zhao Qingyun drove the car out and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Xu Lai dislikes it when people say "whatever" or "it doesn't matter," because it makes her feel like the person asking the question is leaving everything to her.
So she thought about it seriously and said, "How about hot pot, or Japanese food?"
Zhao Qingyun smiled and said, "Let's have hot pot." He knew Xu Lai's habit; usually, the first thing she mentioned was what she wanted to eat, and the rest were just options.
Xu Lai knew there was a really good beef hot pot restaurant in the city center. When the two of them arrived, the restaurant was almost full, but fortunately there were still a few empty tables.
After ordering, Xu Lai went to the restroom, and coincidentally, she ran into Nie Yuxuan. The two exchanged a simple nod.
She glanced to the side and saw a girl she didn't recognize, but based on Xia Ning's description, she should be Nie Yuxuan's new wife.
Nie Yuxuan assumed that Xia Ning had come with her, since they used to eat at this restaurant often when they were in high school, and Xia Ning really liked the beef balls from this place.
He followed the direction Xu Lai had gone back in, stood up and saw a man who was quite good-looking. He and Xu Lai were behaving intimately, so he seemed to be Xu Lai's boyfriend.
In the short time she went to the restroom, a lot of meat had already piled up in the bowl. Zhao Qingyun rolled up her shirt sleeves and kept watching the meat in the pot. She would take it out as soon as the time was up, otherwise it would affect the taste.
Xu Lai took a few bites, but before he could even touch his chopsticks, she stretched out her arm and brought another piece of meat to his mouth.
