Chapter 24 Date
Gu Huaizhou had his back to her, as if he was tidying up his appearance.
Shengxia frowned.
While he didn't turn his head, I quietly left from the other side.
After walking a few steps, I heard someone shouting over there: "Brother!"
Midsummer stopped.
Bai Yinyin was dressed very beautifully and fashionably, wearing big sunglasses. She took the flowers and took them up to her nose to sniff them.
“It smells really good.”
"As long as you like it."
"Then let's go to the movies."
Bai Yinyin took the initiative to put her hand on Gu Huaizhou's arm, just like an ordinary couple, and no one noticed Shengxia's presence.
Shengxia smiled self-deprecatingly. What was she thinking? Did she think that Gu Huaizhou knew he was wrong and would come to apologize to her with flowers?
When Shengxia arrived at the restaurant, Fu Beicheng had already arrived.
Sheng Xia was very embarrassed: "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry, I invited you to dinner, but I let you arrive first."
"I thought President Sheng was going to stand me up again today."
Fu Beicheng still looked very casual, but he always spoke boldly.
Shengxia put down her bag, took off her coat, and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"How could that be? Last time it was an accident. Even if there is an accident this time, I will find a way to tell Mr. Fu."
Fu Beicheng didn't seem to care at all.
"I saw the barbecue restaurant you chose, and it smells pretty good."
"Yes, they are one of the better barbecue restaurants in Beijing. They perfectly meet your requirements."
Fu Beicheng's mouth curled up: "You found many families for my request?"
"It's okay. I did some research and Mr. Fu's request isn't too excessive."
"So, is that still too much?"
"Boss Fu has saved me several times in a row. It's what I deserve."
Shengxia handed the list to Fu Beicheng: "Mr. Fu, order whatever you want to eat as soon as possible, and don't be polite to me."
"I won't be polite with you."
Fu Beicheng took the list and started counting on it carefully with a pen.
Shengxia took out the gift she had prepared from her pocket.
Fu Beicheng wore an overcoat today, with a high-necked base underneath. The clothes fit close to his body, but not tight. Combined with his upright posture, it showed off his good manners.
If he didn't know that he once lived among ordinary people, Shengxia might not believe it if he told her.
"Am I good-looking?"
Fu Beicheng raised his eyes and met her gaze.
Only then did Shengxia realize that she had been staring at him, which was indeed impolite.
"No, I'm just wondering when I can give you the gift in my hand."
After Fu Beicheng ordered the dishes, he handed her the menu and took the box from her.
"Gift?"
"Yes, I bought it a long time ago. I promised Mr. Fu, so I have to do it."
"Then I won't be polite."
He always has a subtle smile on his face when he speaks, and his peach blossom eyes make him very charming.
Fortunately, she met Gu Huaizhou first, otherwise she would have no resistance to a man like Fu Beicheng.
Fu Beicheng opened the box and saw a Vacheron Constantin watch inside. It was very valuable. Shengxia had almost spent all her savings on it.
With a sullen face, he pushed the watch back and said, "Take this gift back and return it."
Sheng Xia looked up, puzzled: "Mr. Fu doesn't like it?"
“I like it, but it doesn’t need to be so expensive.”
Shengxia was amused. "This is the first time I've seen someone receiving a gift worry about the giver going bankrupt. Don't worry, it's indeed quite expensive, but it's not my personal money. I should have used it to get my share of the family property in the divorce."
Fu Beicheng glanced at his watch: "Have you ever thought that if Gu Huaizhou saw it, he would misunderstand it?"
Shengxia lowered her head and ordered food again: "If he wants to misunderstand, then he can misunderstand. If he doesn't want to misunderstand, then that's fine. We're getting divorced anyway, so it doesn't matter what he thinks."
"Have you decided?"
Shengxia nodded.
Fu Beicheng's lips curled up slightly, but Shengxia didn't see it.
He took the watch back silently.
"Also, Mr. Fu, thank you for your scar removal cream. It works really well."
Fu Beicheng glanced at her forehead, which was no longer scarred, and said lightly, "There are a lot of them at home, so I'll just give you one."
Shengxia called the waiter over and handed him the order.
"Miss Sheng, it seems a bit too much for the two of you to eat."
Shengxia put her hand on the position of the number of people: "Not two, three."
"Okay, I'll go place the order then."
The waiter left, and someone happened to call Shengxia, so Shengxia didn't notice Fu Beicheng's increasingly ugly expression.
"Xiao'er, this way."
Shengxia stretched out her hand and greeted Fu Xiaoer.
Fu Xiaoer ran over and saw Fu Beicheng, looking surprised: "Xia Xia, when you said you wanted to have dinner with me, did you mean with my brother?"
"Yeah, since you're brother and sister, I thought you could just go together."
Fu Xiaoer glanced at Fu Beicheng and called out, "Brother."
Fu Beicheng hummed.
Fu Xiaoer put down her coat and bag. Shengxia said that she had ordered the dishes for her and that all her favorites would be served soon.
When the dishes arrived, Fu Xiaoer saw the plate of spicy beef snowflakes and immediately said, "Xia Xia, I knew you would order this. This is your favorite barbecue."
Shengxia explained: "I didn't order this dish, your brother did."
"My brother?"
Fu Xiaoer was stunned and looked at Fu Beicheng in disbelief.
Fu Beicheng used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of small Korean sausage for her, "This is cooked, you can eat it."
Fu Xiaoer liked eating small Korean sausages very much. She forgot what she was going to ask and started eating immediately.
Fu Beicheng went to the bathroom. Fu Xiaoer quickly put down her chopsticks and asked, "What's going on? Aren't you and my brother sworn enemies? Why are you inviting him to dinner?"
"He saved me several times before. Even though we are sworn enemies, he never really wanted to kill me."
"That's true, but my brother isn't someone who saves people easily. You know, in our family environment, my brother usually doesn't show that he cares about anyone easily. It's incredible that he would do so many things to you!"
"Is it possible that he helped you because you and I are good friends?"
Fu Xiaoer thought this was possible and nodded continuously, "You're right, my brother takes care of you because of me."
"So I called you over."
Fu Xiaoer picked up another small Korean sausage and said, "Well, you know what, theirs is really delicious."
After dinner, Shengxia had to go to work, so she said goodbye to the two of them and left.
Fu Beicheng naturally took on the responsibility of sending Fu Xiaoer away.
Fu Xiaoer sat in the passenger seat of Fu Beicheng's car and glanced at him. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Brother, I remember you are allergic to beef and can't eat beef. Could those two servings of Spicy Beef Snowflakes today be for Xia Xia?"
