Chapter 212 An unexpected reunion
Chapter 213 An unexpected reunion
Fang Qing looked down at the tea in his hand. His dazed eyes were reflected on the water and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
She had not expected to meet Wen Ning under such circumstances.
Before, she had only heard that he was missing, and Fang Qing was so anxious that she was distracted. Although she refused to admit it, she knew that even if she hated him in her heart, she still hoped that he was doing well.
But she had never expected that Wen Ning would suddenly appear in front of her in this way, which made Fang Qing not know how to react for a moment.
The long silence made people feel awkward. Fang Qing placed her hands under the table and kept rubbing the hem of her skirt. This was a new dress she had changed into to meet an important client today, but it had become wrinkled by her rubbing.
She secretly regretted her loss of composure when they just met. She lowered her head and took a sip of the cold tea. She was about to resolve the fight quickly in a businesslike manner, but the person opposite her spoke first.
"Qingqing... don't drink tea so late at night. Isa, help her change a cup of warm water." Wen Ning couldn't help but speak out to stop Fang Qing, and then asked the blonde beauty behind him to help change the water.
Fang Qing was so taken aback by Wen Ning's sudden concern that she forgot her previous thoughts for a moment. She bit her lip and looked at Wen Ning. When she came to her senses, the beautiful woman had already brought a cup of hot water and placed it in front of her.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you... surprised to see me?" Wen Ning looked at Fang Qing with a faint smile. His gentle eyes were filled with emotions that Fang Qing was familiar with but dared not see.
Fang Qing turned his face slightly, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and pretended to smile calmly.
But when she lowered her head to drink water to hide her panic, she was almost knocked over by the scalding temperature in the cup, "Hiss... Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."
Finally finding an excuse, she ran out quickly without even looking at the person opposite her.
Wen Ning saw that her face looked strange and thought that what he said made her uncomfortable, but he turned his eyes to the teacup opposite him, stood up and raised his hand to touch it, and his expression instantly became cold.
"Isa, what I want is warm water." Wen Ning turned his face coldly towards the exotic beauty beside him, but Isa was not afraid of his gaze at all. She changed her humble attitude just now, folded her arms, raised her chin and looked at him.
"Oh, really? Sorry, maybe I heard it wrong..."
Wen Ning stared at her coldly for a while, then retracted his gaze, took Fang Qing's glass of water, poured it a few times with a spare clean empty cup until his fingers felt the right temperature, and then put the cup back.
"I know you are not convinced, but since you were assigned to me by the higher-ups, I am your direct superior here. Even if you don't want to, you have to endure it. You have to do whatever I tell you to do! Otherwise, I will contact the headquarters and ask them to send me an obedient person." Wen Ning said in a calm voice as he slowly walked back to his seat.
Isa, who was behind him, was very unconvinced when he heard this, and was about to step forward to argue, but after hearing the last sentence, he gritted his teeth and endured it, "Okay, you're awesome." Then he strode out of the box.
As soon as he opened the door, Fang Qing was standing there. Isa glared at her hatefully, shook her hair, and strode away.
Fang Qing had just gone to the bathroom to calm down for a long time, and finally prepared himself mentally. When he came back, he saw the beautiful blonde glaring at him and walking away angrily.
Could it be that my behavior just now was inappropriate? Fang Qing walked in while thinking, and when he saw Wen Ning's face, he avoided his gaze and sat back in his seat.
"Mr. Wen, I am the specialist in charge of contacting your company this time. I heard from our CEO Qin that you need to renovate the interior of the office building. I don't know what your requirements are. You can tell me first. We will design it based on the specific conditions of the site and consider your opinions..."
Fang Qing avoided the other person's gaze and tried his best to look indifferent, but after he finished speaking, Wen Ning still didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, which made Fang Qing a little annoyed.
"Mr. Wen, are you listening to me?"
Wen Ning had been looking at Fang Qing gently, seeming to listen and yet not listen. When he saw Fang Qing looking over, he was even a little dazed, just like in the past, when Fang Qing sat opposite him with her lips pouted and played coquettishly with him. That coquettish look made him curl his lips unconsciously, "Well, go ahead, I'm listening."
Fang Qing felt helpless. Wen Ning's attitude was much harder to deal with than those clients who deliberately made things difficult for her. Fang Qing had no choice but to repeat it patiently. This time, Wen Ning understood and nodded to show that he understood. "I don't have any requirements. As long as you like it, that's fine."
These words, which carried a hint of ambiguity between lovers, instantly opened the floodgates of their memories.
When the two were in love, Wen Ning doted on Fang Qing in this way. She made the decisions on everything, and he was only responsible for satisfying her preferences and watching her smile.
But now the two of them no longer have the intimacy they once had. This is the first time they meet each other after a long separation, and it is no longer appropriate to say such things in such an occasion.
As soon as he said this, Wen Ning realized that something was wrong and immediately withdrew his thoughts. Seeing Fang Qing's face turn ugly, he knew that he was anxious, and immediately straightened his attitude and sat up straight, "Sorry, I understand what you said. I will have someone send the relevant requirements tomorrow."
This attitude made Fang Qing feel relieved. She was really afraid that if Wen Ning continued with that ambiguous attitude, she would not know how to distinguish between work and life, the past and the present.
"Okay, then... that's it for today. I have already sent our previous decoration samples to your company. If you have any questions, you can contact us by phone."
As he spoke, Fang Qing no longer dared to look at Wen Ning, as if there was a ghost behind him, and quickly fled from the coffee shop. He did not stop until he was a long way gone, holding onto a tree trunk by the roadside.
Thinking of Wen Ning's betrayal more than a year ago, Fang Qing felt annoyed at herself for being useless. She was abandoned by him at that time, and she had vowed to slap him hard when she saw him again. How come when she really saw him in person, she forgot everything and even felt a little bit of anticipation and excitement in her heart. She was really useless! She should have looked at him straight in the face without any regrets, so why did she lose her composure like that?
Fang Qing worried about the tree for a long time, and finally decided to take a taxi to Qin Xue's place. On such a bad night, she needed the company of friends and alcohol.
Wen Ning knew that Fang Qing didn't want to see him, so he quietly followed her all the way until he saw her enter a villa and then left.
Looking at the figure on the window of the villa, Wen Ning's eyes were gloomy. He turned his head to look at Isa in front of the car and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Check her whereabouts for the past year. I want to see it tomorrow morning."
Isa sneered, "I didn't expect that Mr. Wen is actually such an amorous person. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Jennifer?"
After hearing these three words, Wen Ning's face finally darkened.
"Whatever! I don't mind having a different assistant."
