Xu Yanyi looked directly at Wang Yi with cold eyes, without saying a word, but his attitude said it all.
Yang Zhiheng smiled casually and said jokingly, "He must be here to meet someone he knows, just to have a meal with them."
His dark eyes looked at Qiao Qing who was pretending to look at the menu carefully, and asked with concern: "Have you read it well? If you are confused, I will serve all the special dishes here."
Without waiting for Qiao Qing to answer, he raised his slender and beautiful hand and waved to the waiter.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
The waiter came over quickly and asked politely.
Yang Zhiheng took another menu, pointed at it, and said with a smile: "Serve all your special dishes."
"OK."
The waiter wrote down the order and walked away.
Several people were silent.
Yang Zhiheng heated the cutlery, then stretched out his slender hands and picked up the cutlery in front of Qiao Qing, wanting to help her heat it.
Wang Yi grabbed Yang Zhiheng's wrist, his narrow eyes slightly raised, and said with a smile: "It's better for me, your boyfriend, to do this."
Yang Zhiheng shrugged, glanced at Qiao Qing, and said teasingly: "I didn't expect that Young Master Wang would be jealous of this? I don't know if every girlfriend is so jealous, then you can't handle it."
Xu Yanyi narrowed his eyes slightly, holding the cup with his bony fingers, tapping slowly on the wall of the cup, and he ignored the conversation between the two people in front of him.
When Qiao Qing heard this, he glanced at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi leaned forward, crossed his index fingers, and said with a smile on his face, "Being jealous depends on the person."
After a pause, he continued, "I just don't know when Mr. Yang became so enthusiastic."
Yang Zhiheng smiled, "Doesn't enthusiasm also depend on the person?"
Although his handsome face was full of smiles, there was no trace of smile in his dark eyes.
Wang Yi didn't respond, but helped Qiao Qing heat the tableware.
Qiao Qing looked at the atmosphere between the three people. There was a hint of sparks. They were engaged in a verbal battle, going back and forth, which was quite lively.
If you don’t know her, you might think she is a light bulb.
She stretched out her soft, white hand and pulled Wang Yi's big hand. She pursed her pink lips slightly and asked with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, "Wang Yi, why don't we go back and eat?"
Wang Yi wanted to take care of Qiao Qing's emotions and didn't want her to feel embarrassed. "Go wait by the car first. I'll be there soon."
Qiao Qing nodded, "Okay, then hurry up."
After waiting for Qiao Qing to leave his sight, Wang Yi turned to the two of them and said seriously, "She is not a casual person. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't mind, but not Qiao Qing."
Yang Zhiheng smiled and said, "Hey, the prodigal son has returned?"
Xu Yanyi looked straight at Wang Yi with cold eyes and asked, "How do you know I'm just being casual?"
Wang Yi's dark eyebrows slightly frowned, "Xu Yanyi, I can forgive you for being interested in Qiao Qing. After all, she has her own personal charm, which is beyond my control. But if you go beyond the limit, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood."
Xu Yanyi didn't say much about Wang Yi's words, but just said calmly: "Will your old man let you marry her?"
His dark eyes fell on Wang Yi's face, with a hint of oppression, "Given your current financial situation restricted by your family, are you sure you can make Qiao Qing happy?"
"Do you think that if you accompany her to eat and chat, and the relationship is good, you can continue to be together?"
"Life is not a fairy tale. It requires not only love, but also daily necessities. Do you understand what Qiao Qing really wants?"
"You only know what you want now, and you just keep asking for it."
Every word weighed heavily on Wang Yi's heart.
Xu Yanyi stood up with an indifferent expression.
"Wang Yi, it's time for you to grow up."
There was some disappointment in his tone.
After leaving a word, he left.
Yang Zhiheng sat down, looking at Wang Yi's thoughtful expression, supporting his chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, Yan Zi is just like that, he speaks his mind directly."
After thinking about it, he added: "But if you really have the capital to protect that person, we will not interfere."
Because they saw through it so clearly, they all thought that Wang Yi was just playing around. But now seeing his attitude, they never thought that he actually took it seriously.
He stood up and put his hands in his pockets. Yang Zhiheng also left, leaving Wang Yi sitting alone with a heavy expression on his face.
Yang Zhiheng walked out of the door and saw Xu Yanyi standing quietly there.
Following his gaze, I saw Qiao Qing.
He immediately laughed and said teasingly, "Why? You all have such deep feelings for her, which makes me look like an immoral person."
Xu Yanyi didn't respond, but just asked: "Do you have cigarettes?"
"Don't you smoke?"
Although he felt strange, Yang Zhiheng still took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Xu Yanyi, and lit it for him.
Then I lit one for myself.
He puffed out some smoke.
"It's strange. We've only known each other for a short time and I don't even know her name, but I just feel safe when she's around me."
Xu Yanyi's bony hands were holding a cigarette, and for some reason they were shaking a little.
He has always had insomnia and goes to the gym every day. His mind is blank only when he is exercising.
After exhausting all my energy, I can go home and fall asleep as soon as I lie down.
But after meeting Qiao Qing, her sweet smile is all that fills my mind every day.
Obviously so innocent, so shy.
Afraid of scaring her, he didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.
Yang Zhiheng didn't expect Xu Yanyi to speak so suddenly. He smiled when he heard it, "You didn't fall in love with her at first sight, did you?"
"no."
Xu Yanyi shook his head, his cold gaze fell on Qiao Qing and then softened a little, with some complicated emotions in his eyes.
“She loves to laugh.”
His gaze turned to Yang Zhiheng, and he emphasized in a cold voice: "She loves to laugh."
"Do you like to laugh?"
Yang Zhiheng had never seen Qiao Qing smile before. She was like a hedgehog to him, all defensive.
"How hard do you think it is to meet someone you like?"
This was the first time Xu Yanyi talked to him about relationship issues.
Yang Zhiheng was really flattered. He thought about it carefully and said slowly, "It will probably take a long time. After all, more than 20 years have passed and I still haven't met him."
Xu Yanyi curled his lips and said nothing.
It seemed that Qiao Qing had taught him how to laugh last time, and now he felt that laughing was becoming easier and easier.
"So you're serious too?"
Yang Zhiheng put away his playful smile. Seeing that Xu Yanyi didn't answer, he looked at Xu Yanyi and asked again: "So you are serious too?"
Xu Yanyi glanced at Yang Zhiheng calmly and asked, "So what?"
Yang Zhiheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, when he heard Xu Yanyi's cold voice: "I have the capital to be willful."
There was great confidence and composure in his words.
Too.
Perhaps others can only see the honor brought by Xu Yanyi's identity as the young master of the Xu family, but they don't know how much effort he has put in behind the scenes.
Since they met in high school, Xu Yanyi has returned to class only a few times. Only by completing the tasks assigned by Xu's father and doing well can he stand out.
Xu Yanyi's mother passed away early, and Xu's father was a romantic man with many illegitimate children outside, some of whom were better than Xu Yanyi. Each of them was eyeing this huge family business, but in the tasks assigned by Xu's father, they were defeated by Xu Yanyi one by one.
There were also people who tried to plot against Xu Yanyi, but in the end, they were framed by Xu Yanyi and thrown into jail.
Xu Yanyi, who has known competition since childhood, does not know what humility means.
He only knows that if he wants to get something, he has to fight for it!
It has never been his character to sit back and wait for death.
Xu Yanyi grew up in such an environment, which shaped his current personality.
He turned to look at Yang Zhiheng and said coldly, "If you are just playing around, don't set your sights on her."
In Xu Yanyi's impression, Qiao Qing is a shy and simple girl.
Yang Zhiheng refused to give in, "Yo~ You are allowed to be serious, but I can't be serious?"
Everyone has a rebellious mentality. He really wanted to get involved in this mess because Chief Qiao agreed with his taste.
But these two people said that he was just joking, and they really wanted to make a fuss about it.
Xu Yanyi stared at Yang Zhiheng for two seconds and said nonchalantly, "It's no use for you to be serious."
His tone was full of determination.
Looking at the two people leaning against each other in the distance, he withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Yang Zhiheng quickened his pace to keep up with Xu Yanyi.
He teased provocatively: "If you are serious, the girl will be attracted to you."
Xu Yanyi didn't say anything, but he quickened his pace.
Here, Wang Yi drove Qiao Qing home. He did not tell Qiao Qing anything about what Xu Yanyi had said to him or the questions he had been pondering.
He just smiled at her as before, gently and dotingly.
"What do you want to eat today?"
Qiao Qing pretended to think about it seriously, and seeing that Wang Yi was waiting for her answer, she suddenly smiled, brightly and sweetly.
"Anything is fine. I like everything you do."
Wang Yi gently touched Qiao Qing's head and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He pretended to ask casually: "Qiao Qiao, what do you hope for the future?"
Qiao Qing was a little confused. He tilted his head and looked at Wang Yi, asking curiously, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Wang Yi said gently: "It's okay, I just want to know if I am included in your future plans."
Qiao Qing was amused.
"Of course I do. I hope that in the future, I can have a warm home and live happily with you. And I have to bring my mother over."
"What a sweet home!"
Wang Yi nodded, and what Xu Yanyi said came to his mind. He was a little dazed for a moment.
Qiao Qing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Wang Yi's eyes, pouting and saying with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you? You seem a little absent-minded since you just came back. Did something happen?"
She hugged Wang Yi's arm, her expression very serious, "If there is something, you must not bear it alone. I hope we can face it together, understand?"
Wang Yi didn't know whether he took it seriously or not, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
A gleam of light gradually appeared in Qiao Qing's eyes, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
