Chapter 335 Chapter 335 Promise
After thinking about it, an idea immediately came to his mind, "Sister, how about this, this..." Tao Jin leaned close to Shen Qinghuan's ear and whispered his idea to her.
Shen Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed, "That's it! Let's go out first and talk about it later."
After she finished speaking, she quickly stood up and strode towards the living room.
When Shen Qinghuan appeared in the living room, only Tao Dayong and Jiang Yu were left there. No one knew what they were talking about. Jiang Yu's mouth corners were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
She secretly exhaled and said angrily, "Uncle Tao, I have something urgent to do, so I won't stay for dinner."
After saying that, Shen Qinghuan left without looking back.
Before Tao Dayong and Jiang Yu could come to their senses, another figure ran out, shouting loudly: "Sister! Sister! Wait for me, I really know I was wrong, sister..."
"A Jin, stop right there! Tell me what's going on?" Tao Dayong shouted, his face looking a little ugly.
Worried that Jiang Yu had misunderstood him, Tao Dayong quickly turned around and comforted Jiang Yu: "Mr. Jiang, maybe my son and Huanhuan had a conflict. Don't worry too much..."
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, his tone slightly cold: "I'm not worried."
No worries?
Tao Dayong was stunned for a moment. Was he mistaken? Or... was he really interested in Nana?
If this is true, then it doesn't matter whether Shen Qinghuan is willing to come to the Tao family in the future. What he really wants is the relationship with Jiang Yu, not that dispensable stepdaughter.
Tao Jin ignored his father, changed his shoes, and immediately ran out to chase Shen Qinghuan.
As for Ms. Xiang and Tao Na in the kitchen, they didn't care about the incident just now.
When Shen Qinghuan returned to the car, she felt the air was fresher.
She waited for a while and saw Tao Jin running out.
Tao Jin skillfully opened the car door, got in the passenger seat, and said with a smile: "Sister, how about we go to Wansheng for a buffet? The seafood there is very fresh and tastes good."
"I can do anything!"
Shen Qinghuan didn't have much desire for food. He always ate whatever was available and wasn't picky about food.
More than half an hour later.
The two walked into the most upscale buffet restaurant in South City one after the other.
As soon as he walked in, Shen Qinghuan saw the two siblings of the Xu family sitting by the window.
She and Xu Jiaxin have never gotten along well, but she has had private meetings with Xu Dongyao a few times. He is one of the top lawyers in the political and legal circles and is said to have never lost a case.
Just as Shen Qinghuan was hesitating whether to go over and say hello, Xu Dongyao had already strode towards her under Xu Jiaxin's dissatisfied gaze, with a warm smile on his lips.
"What a coincidence?!"
Shen Qinghuan smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence!"
Xu Dongyao hesitated for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xu Dongyao was probably asking about what happened last night. She asked Jiang Yu to take him there, but after Lawyer Xu arrived, she didn't say a few words to him. At that time, he only asked her about the specific details of the matter.
Shen Qinghuan raised the corners of her lips slightly, shook her head and said, "It's all fine now!"
In fact, she wasn't the one in trouble.
She used all her strength when she stabbed the man's arm, and blood and flesh almost flew off.
After a pause, Shen Qinghuan added with a smile: "I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last night."
Xu Dongyao lowered his eyes, his gaze landing on that bright and delicate little face, the watery almond eyes, the soft red lips, the white neck… His heart couldn't help but tighten, his voice low and unconsciously revealed a bit of hoarseness, "How do you want to thank me?"
Shen Qinghuan: “???”
How to thank him? She just said this in a hurry, and she really didn't think carefully about how to thank him.
For a moment, Shen Qinghuan was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Xu Dongyao didn't rush her. He just lowered his eyes and stared at her, his eyes dim. "I'm not in a hurry. Take your time to think about it. Call me when you've made up your mind."
"Actually, I don't know either."
Shen Qinghuan curled her lips and smiled helplessly.
This was not the first time Xu Dongyao helped her, but she had never formally thanked him.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Then tell me, how do you want me to thank you?"
Xu Dongyao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "Are you going to thank me the way I want you to? Shen Qinghuan, if you nod, then I'm really going to make a request."
Shen Qinghuan opened her mouth slightly and opened her eyes wide, as if she had not expected Xu Dongyao to be so rude.
She hesitated, hesitated, and regretted, fearing that Xu Dongyao would make some inappropriate requests.
But the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't just pretend that she hadn't said them.
After calming himself down, Shen Qinghuan pretended to be calm and smiled, "Lawyer Xu, I've already said this, so it must be true. However, you are not allowed to ask me to do anything illegal."
At the end, she pretended to be cheerful and joked with Xu Dongyao.
Xu Dongyao couldn't help but curl his lips, his voice inexplicably becoming hoarse: "Are you worried that I'll ask you to marry me?"
Shen Qinghuan: “!!”
Shen Qinghuan choked on his own saliva, his throat felt itchy, and he couldn't help coughing twice.
"Are you scared?" Xu Dongyao asked calmly.
Shen Qinghuan shook her head like a rattle, but her heart felt empty. She said, "No! I haven't thought about it that way! A young talent like Lawyer Xu should definitely be paired with a lady from a wealthy family."
Xu Dongyao narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were deep.
He just wanted to tell her that this was what he wanted in his heart, he only wanted her, not some lady from a noble family.
"Do you really think so?"
Shen Qinghuan raised her head, her eyes shining, as if the stars in the Milky Way were crushed and scattered among them. "Of course I think so! Could it be that Lawyer Xu doesn't have this confidence?"
She deliberately joked, trying to break the ambiguous atmosphere between them.
"Then I'll keep this opportunity. When I think it over, I'll ask you for it again."
Although he was obviously very anxious, his face did not show any sign of it.
Xu Dongyao still smiled gently, but the eagerness in his eyes disappeared quietly without a trace.
Shen Qinghuan returned to the dining chair and when she looked up, she was met with Tao Jin's gossipy smile.
"Sister, who was that person who just spoke to you?"
"A friend, a lawyer." Shen Qinghuan introduced briefly.
A friend? A lawyer? Tao Jin remained calm, yet smiled meaningfully. "Sister, as a man myself, I can tell you very clearly that the way that man looked at you just now was very wrong. He definitely likes you."
"Even if I don't like you, I still admire you."
