Loving couple?

When these words came out of Huo Qinian's mouth, it was like a farce.

Su Yunbai looked at Huo Qinian with a sarcastic expression: "Mr. Huo is really strict, he plays the whole show, one ring after another."

Huo Qinian's expression did not change.

Just take it as a compliment.

But he was still unwilling in his heart: "I'm really a little curious, my character is not that bad, right? Why are you so anxious?"

Su Yunbai looked at him: "I'm not anxious, I just don't want to guess anymore."

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were somehow a little desolate, as if she was extremely tired.

Huo Qinian felt a little uncomfortable, and the joke that was originally on his lips could not be said.

Why do you "don't want to guess anymore"?

She said it as if she had guessed many times.

He didn't feel that he was guessed.

Su Yunbai was fragile for only a moment, and soon cheered up again: "Mr. Huo, just tell me, what's the matter?" Huo

Qinian just wanted to speak, Su Yunbai emphasized: "Don't tell me that you want to return an umbrella... If it's really just for an umbrella, then you have already got it."

Huo Qinian's words were choked back.

But he quickly thought of an alternative: "Next Wednesday, City B will hold a commendation meeting, you know?"

Su Yunbai knew about this. The project at Linghang Technology won a heavyweight award this year, and they are still discussing who should represent them to receive the award.

Su Yunbai is more inclined to let Minister Gong go. After all, she is now in a semi-retired state, and the next person in charge should be Minister Gong.

But Huo Qinian obviously doesn't think so.

Huo Qinian pretended to be busy with official business, and the uneasiness in Su Yunbai's heart dissipated.

Although it was a bit unkind of a dignified Mr. Huo to find someone to discuss official business after work. But who makes him a leader?

Besides, it is better to talk about official business than personal matters.

In the short term, Su Yunbai no longer wants to talk about personal matters with Huo Qinian. At least, it shouldn't be about personal matters like "You only know how to bully me."

Since it's official business...

Su Yunbai opened the door, "Come in and talk."

This time, there was no need for Su Yunbai to entertain him. Huo Qinian bent down on his own and chose a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet - he couldn't guarantee the others, but this pair was what Su Yunbai often wore when she was in Lianshan.

He barely didn't dislike her for once.

Su Yunbai looked at the "condescending" look of Young Master Huo, and his heart choked.

Did she beg him to come in?

Forget it, it's better not to see it.

Ten minutes later, Su Yunbai regretted it.

Huo Qinian was simply too arrogant.

He didn't even consider himself a guest.

Su Yunbai was discussing with him who should receive the award when the doorbell rang.

Huo Qinian acted more like a master than she, and directly held her down: "You sit down, I'll go open the door."

The door opened and closed, and Huo Qinian had a lunch box in his hand.

He called Su Yunbai: "Come and eat, and talk while eating." He seemed to be in a good mood, "Don't worry, the company will provide meals during overtime."

Without waiting for Su Yunbai's approval, Huo Qinian went to the dining table and opened the lunch box to take the food.

It was obvious that he rarely did such things. He looked clumsy and a little unnecessary cautious, so he looked a little funny.

But good-looking people are so blessed. Even if what he is doing now has nothing to do with his temperament, the more so, the more people can't take their eyes away.

The lunch box came with disposable bowls and chopsticks. Huo Qinian took them out and looked at them. He was disgusted and put them aside. He looked around and went into the kitchen to find tableware.

Su Yunbai sat there without moving, but her heart seemed to be immersed in an ocean of emotions, with all kinds of feelings.

Busy couples eat together after work. The food doesn't need to be good. The couple sits together at the table, sharing food and feelings...

What a life full of fireworks.

This was a humble wish she made on one of her birthdays.

She wanted Huo Qinian to stop being so high and out of reach. She wanted him to eat home-cooked meals with her, talk about homely things, and discuss the ups and downs of life with her husband and wife...

This was something she had never gotten and didn't even dare to ask for. But it turns out... the difficulty is never the thing itself, it just depends on whether the person has the willingness.

Many things are so difficult, but also so simple. So simple that... she no longer expects it, but it is achieved so easily.

But in fact... it's just that.

But why do I feel a lump in my throat and hot eyes?

Is the time wrong?

No, it's because people have changed.

It's too late.

Even if it's not late, it's meaningless.

Su Yunbai, don't force certain things to have special meaning, don't always feel that you are being cared for...

Don't be self-touched!

Don't be silly.

Su Yunbai lowered his eyes, sorted out the surging emotions in his heart, and came to the dining table with a normal expression.

Putting aside the self-admiration, this is just a working meal.

Where does all the tenderness come from? Divorced couples, what else do you want?

The dining table in Su Yunbai's house is not big. If two people sit opposite each other, if one of them lifts his feet up, he can easily touch the other's knees. Such a close distance brings a different kind of intimacy.

Huo Qinian immediately liked this small dining table.

——Teacher Su has a good eye.

Huo Qinian was happy for a short time, and soon found that Su Yunbai was different.

Although she tried her best to hide it, she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Huo Qinian did something that he once thought was a bit stupid - he pushed the plate of steamed fish in front of him towards Su Yunbai, and said casually: "Don't you like this? If you like it, eat more."

Su Yunbai looked up, looked at the densely packed garlic on the fish meat for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

The smile was a bit strange, and Huo Qinian's mind almost immediately froze: "What's wrong?"

Su Yunbai said: "Nothing, thank you."

She did as Huo Qinian wanted, picked up a chopstick of fish meat and put it in her mouth, tasting it slowly, as if she wanted to experience the taste.

The fish meat with garlic flavor was delicious, without any fishy smell, melted in the mouth, and tasted very good.

But, she didn't like steamed fish.

In particular, she didn't like garlic.

But liking it or not is not that important.

Su Yunbai's face showed no change.

She thought that in the short term, she would never want to eat fish again.

Huo Qinian said: "This steamed fish is said to be their signature dish. What do you think?"

Su Yunbai smiled: "It's very good."

Huo Qinian became interested and introduced the dishes on the table one by one.

He really put some thought into the dishes this time - he personally asked Assistant Zhang to order the dishes that Su Yunbai liked. It seems that Assistant Zhang did put in a lot of effort.

I'll give him a raise when I go back.

Huo Qinian's happiness only lasted for a few minutes.

- Only picked up two chopsticks of food... Who calls this liking?

Su Yunbai still ate with his eyes half closed, and seemed to be very involved.

Huo Qinian thought of what she had said since she sat down: "Very good", "Very nice", "Thoughtful"...

Didn't they have a perfunctory tone?

Huo Qinian put down his chopsticks, his expression gloomy.

He looked at Su Yunbai who was counting the rice grains with his head down, and said softly: "If you don't like it, don't eat it."

Su Yunbai looked up at him.

Huo Qinian's expression was calm, his eyes were dark and deep, like obsidian, fixed on her.

Obviously, he saw it.

Su Yunbai didn't explain or deny it, and put down his chopsticks.

Silence was spreading at the table.

Huo Qinian's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and his expression became more and more serious.

Su Yunbai finally spoke, but those words were still not what Huo Qinian wanted to hear.

She said, "I will go to the meeting in City B next Wednesday with Minister Gong."

Huo Qinian raised the corner of his lips and showed a mocking smile.

His patience ran out, he just nodded casually and stood up, took his suit jacket: "In that case, I'll leave first."

Su Yunbai sat there without moving, his expression even seemed very peaceful: "Remember to bring your umbrella."

Huo Qinian snorted and strode away.

Before leaving the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Su Yunbai, you are really arrogant!"

The door was closed.

Su Yunbai still sat there for a long time, and sighed softly.

The group from Linghang Technology booked a flight for Tuesday afternoon. There were four people in total. In addition to Su Yunbai, Minister Gong and a colleague, there was also Minister Gong's wife - she came to play privately.

The tickets assigned by the company were business class tickets. The only two connected seats were given to Minister Gong and his wife, while Su Yunbai and another colleague each sat in a separate seat.

Su Yunbai started to feel a dull pain in her stomach at noon today, but she couldn't find the exact location of the pain, which made her feel listless. This had happened before, so she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just irregular eating.

Su Yunbai's seat was by the window, and there was an empty seat on the left. Even if someone came to this seat, it would not hinder the other party from entering or leaving, so she closed her eyes and rested without any worries.

After a while, Su Yunbai felt someone coming to the seat next to her.

After a moment, someone whispered in her ear, "Teacher Su, fasten your seat belt."

Su Yunbai almost suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

This voice... why does it sound so much like Huo Qinian's?

Su Yunbai opened her eyes and turned her head.

The person sitting next to her was looking at her indifferently. Seeing that she didn't respond, he emphasized again: "Teacher Su, seat belt."

If not Huo Qinian, who else could it be?

Why is he here?

Su Yunbai paused for a moment, and just when she was about to ask something, she turned her head and found that Minister Gong's wife, who was sitting in the same row on the right, was looking at them intently.

She swallowed her words and said cooperatively, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for reminding me."

Huo Qinian showed a fake smile on his face, "Teacher Su, you're too polite."

He crossed his hands on his knees and stretched out his long legs, almost occupying the space in front of his seat. "If Teacher Su wants to go out later, remember to tell me and I'll make way for you."

Su Yunbai didn't quite understand why Huo Qinian emphasized this point.

If she wanted to go out and he really blocked her way, she would of course tell him.

This is a natural thing, what's there to emphasize?

Could it be that he wants to make trouble again?

Su Yunbai looked at him and said seriously and cautiously, "Okay."

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai's guarded look again and sneered in his heart.

She looked like a mouse seeing a cat...

He wanted to see if she could sleep on the rest of the trip.
