Chapter 98 Dating
Gu Zhaodi immediately liked the man's post on WeChat Moments and commented, "This is a day in our lives."
After a few seconds of silence, the man's WeChat Moments exploded with activity, as all sorts of strange and unusual people appeared, wondering what this man, who had never posted on WeChat Moments before, had posted for the first time.
Shen Jiyang: Third brother, have you suddenly blossomed like an iron tree?
Only Dan Shu, an insider, noticed this reply; the others didn't seem to care much.
Dan Si: Uncle, are you alright?
Mother: Are you really my son? You haven't been possessed, have you?
It must be said that Danmu is also a university teacher who keeps up with the times.
When the company's senior management saw this once-in-a-century post on WeChat Moments, they were stunned for a long time. Liu Lei was the first to react.
Liu Lei: Boss is awesome.
After seeing this reply, some of the higher-ups, although they didn't know who the kid was, followed Liu Lei's lead and all wrote "Boss 666" in big letters.
Dan Anwen ignored the subsequent comments, but gazed gently at the girl's comment with a faint smile on her lips.
Even the two dogs playing on the ground could sense the man's good mood.
After the girl entered the house, the man made her drink two bowls of ginger soup before allowing her to go upstairs to study English.
......
Spring is still chilly, but the earth is gradually warming up, shedding its heavy winter coats and donning the vibrant colors of spring.
Before she knew it, Gu Zhaodi had been living in the Jinshan Villa for almost a year.
"Aunt Zhang, I won't be home for dinner tonight. A friend is having a birthday party," Gu Zhaodi said to Aunt Zhang, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen.
Aunt Zhang put down her work and turned to look at the girl. "Zhao Zhao, have you talked to Mr. Dan about this?"
"Uncle Dan knows."
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
After Aunt Zhang finished giving her instructions, the girl turned and walked towards the door.
A few days ago, Gu Fang contacted her and asked if she wanted to attend his birthday party. She happened to be free, so she agreed.
When they arrived at the Western restaurant Gu Fang had mentioned, they discovered that it was opposite the Night Bar.
After being led to a seat by the window, the girl realized that Gu Fang was the only one sitting at the table.
"Where are your other friends?" Gu Zhaodi was already wondering why the birthday party was being held in a Western restaurant; it didn't seem like a very lively event.
Gu Fang replied with a slightly awkward expression, "This is my lunar birthday, which I usually celebrate with my family. But since we're in Nan'an City, I thought I'd celebrate it with you, since you're from my hometown."
After saying this, Gu Fang's heart finally settled down a little. He had been thinking about this explanation for a long time, afraid that the girl would realize his intentions.
The girl didn't suspect anything. After listening, she simply thought he just wanted some comfort, since it was normal for him to miss home after being away for several months.
"Happy birthday to you." Gu Zhaodi handed him the gift.
A hint of amusement and shyness flashed in Gu Fang's eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened. "Thank you, please sit down."
"good."
After the two finished ordering, they started talking face to face, and there was no awkward silence.
A man with a refined demeanor stood not far from the window, his deep, dark eyes fixed on the two people inside the restaurant.
Half an hour ago, Shen Jiyang called him and asked him to come to Nightshade Bar to handle some things. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood at the entrance of the bar, he saw a boy and a girl sitting in the restaurant chatting and laughing.
This warm and cozy scene brought the man's memory back to the last photo, which also showed the two of them smiling at each other.
He had noticed the boy's fondness for other children last time, and this time the boy's expression was even more intense, which made the man feel very uncomfortable, as if something was pressing down on him and making it hard to breathe.
Today, the child told him that it was a friend's birthday celebration. He originally thought it was a female classmate's birthday celebration, but it turned out to be this boy again.
The boy's eyes were practically overflowing with affection, but the innocent child didn't notice. What if...?
Recalling Shen Jiyang's previous guess, the man's thick eyebrows furrowed, the darkness in his eyes deepened, and his aura became increasingly chaotic, even beginning to exude a chill.
After standing still for a moment, Dan Anwen did not walk towards the Western restaurant across the street, but instead strode towards the Night Bar.
He cannot interfere with a child's right to make friends, nor can he rashly approach and disturb a child just because the boy has designs on them.
Thinking of this, the man's already depressed mood worsened, and he took the elevator upstairs with a blank expression.
As soon as Shen Jiyang saw the man, he sensed that the man was in a bad mood. His face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip ink, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, giving off an unapproachable look.
"What's wrong, Third Brother?" Shen Jiyang asked.
Dan Anwen completely ignored him, walked right past him, and said to the waiter in a cold voice, "Bring a few bottles of wine to the private room."
After saying that, he walked towards the private room with a sharp aura, leaving Shen Jiyang standing there in a daze behind him.
Seeing Dan Anwen's indifferent attitude, Shen Jiyang immediately realized that Dan Anwen's mood was not just bad, but about to explode.
Usually, when the third brother gets angry, he doesn't fly into a rage; instead, he just sullenly drinks alone.
Shen Jiyang sensed something was wrong and immediately chased after the man.
"Third brother, who offended you? I'll avenge you." Shen Jiyang glanced at the man leaning back on the leather sofa, who was not saying a word.
The only response he received was the man's cold attitude and icy gaze, as if he wanted to devour him, which made Shen Jiyang's heart tremble and he dared not ask any more questions.
After the wine was brought over, Dan Anwen picked up the wine glass on the table and poured himself a large glass, displaying a rather bold and unrestrained attitude as he drank it all in one gulp.
After downing several large glasses of wine, the man's previously depressed mood finally calmed down a bit.
As he rode the elevator up, he became increasingly out of control, even feeling an urge to grab the girl and leave without a second thought.
This feeling was very strange to him, and he felt unfamiliar with it. He didn't even dare to think about the source of this feeling in detail.
Seeing that the man's expression had softened somewhat, Shen Jiyang cautiously asked, "What happened to you?"
The last time I saw him drink like this was a few years ago when the third brother had just taken over the Dan Group.
At that time, he wanted to make sweeping changes to the entire group, but he was hampered by some senior members who relied on their age and seniority, which led him to drink heavily in frustration.
Dan Anwen pressed his thin lips together, lowered his eyes to conceal the inscrutable look in them, and said calmly, "Do you think children can fall in love?"
Shen Jiyang chuckled. What kind of question is this? So, after all this time, he's unhappy because he's worried about Zhao Zhao dating?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiyang blinked his alluring peach blossom eyes and said in a somewhat nonchalant tone, "Of course Zhao Zhao will fall in love; it's only a matter of time."
"But she's still a high school student. It's too early for her to be dating." Dan Anwen's tone was icy, and his eyes were filled with ice shards.
Clearly, Shen Jiyang's answer displeased him.
Shen Jiyang leaned back lazily on the sofa, but his expression became more serious. "Third brother, are you worried that Zhao Zhao is dating at such a young age? Or are you worried that she'll date other boys?"
Dan Anwen's arm, which was holding the wine glass, froze in mid-air, his posture stiff, his expression blank, but intense emotions were surging in his eyes.
After a long pause, the man's dark, deep eyes finally fixed on Shen Jiyang, his tone ambiguous, "What do you mean?"
Seeing this, Shen Jiyang just wanted to roll his eyes. Was he afraid to admit his own feelings, or did he think that he was an old cow eating young grass?
“It means what you think in your heart.” Shen Jiyang curled his thin lips into a smile.
Dan Anwen's thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his angular face was completely bloodless, and his deep eyes looked as if they had been splashed with ink.
"Think it over carefully yourself. I'm going out now." Shen Jiyang patted the man who had already closed his eyes.
After Shen Jiyang left the private room, the man slowly lifted his eyelids, his eyes filled with unreadable emotions.
Finally, the man sighed deeply, as if all his strength had been drained, and sank into the sofa.
With slender fingers, she removed the gold-rimmed glasses from her high-bridged nose, rubbed her aching temples, and tried to calm the turbulent emotions churning within her.
Meanwhile, when Gu Zhaodi and Gu Fang were halfway through their meal, Guan Xiang sent them a message.
Guan Xiang: Zhao Zhao, are you home? I want to come over for a meal.
Guan Xiang's parents have been away from home for the past few days, and Guan Xiang feels lonely eating alone at home. Despite her fear of Uncle Dan, she decides to come over for a meal.
Zhao Zhao: I'm not home, I'm already eating out.
Guan Xiang: And Uncle Dan?
Zhao Zhao: No, it's a male classmate of mine from junior high school. It's his birthday today.
The words "male classmate" immediately piqued Guan Xiang's curiosity. You see, apart from Dan Si and a few other guys, Zhao Zhao had almost no interaction with the male classmates.
And this boy is only in junior high school, so wouldn't that mean...?
She felt that this matter was definitely not simple.
P.S.: Please give this a five-star review, everyone! (≧≦)/
