Chapter 217 Eating Hot Pot 2
Chapter 218 Eating Hot Pot 2
Although it is almost early summer, the nights in the north are still a bit cold.
The willow branches that had already sprouted tender buds swayed wildly in front of the glass window under the encouragement of the spring breeze, just like Fang Qing's mood at the moment, ups and downs.
"It's not easy to eat such fresh baby spinach at this time of year. The vegetables in your pot have been boiled for a long time. If you cook them any further, the taste will be bad. Try it quickly."
Wen Ning's pleasant voice floated past Fang Qing's ears, making her face and ears, which were already feeling hot, even redder. She avoided Wen Ning's help and quickly picked up the vegetables from the soup pot, then put some meat in, looking down at the bowl, ignoring the other person's gaze.
What a small world this is. She just came to eat hotpot and still met Wen Ning. If she hadn't seen that he looked surprised, Fang Qing would have suspected that Wen Ning was following her!
Through the reflection of the window, Fang Qing couldn't help but steal a glance at the man next to him. He was wearing a pullover hoodie, his hair was casually combed, his eyebrows were clear, and his posture was elegant. He didn't have the solemnity that he had at the banquet that day, but was more casual, very much like the way he used to dress when he was in school. This made Fang Qing a little dazed for a moment, as if the two of them had returned to their college days, taking advantage of the weekend to come out and taste delicious food together.
Alas! The past cannot be looked back upon. Fang Qing could not help but sigh in her heart. Who could have thought that she, who once trusted each other so much, would one day feel so lost...
Seeing that Wen Ning seemed to be about to look up, Fang Qing quickly retracted his gaze, quickly picked up the meat and meatballs from the pot, pretended to eat them seriously, but was scalded by the meatballs. He frowned and raised his hand to fan himself.
Seeing her like this, Wen Ning hurriedly patted her back and even took out a tissue and handed it to her mouth, "Spit it out quickly, it's so hot that it will burn your esophagus. Why are you so reckless..."
With Wen Ning's hand, Fang Qing quickly spat out the contents of his mouth, watched the man throw the paper ball into the trash can, and then ordered a bottle of soda, inserted a straw and placed it in front of him. Only then did Fang Qing realize what he had just done.
"Thanks……"
Wen Ning showed no expression. He glanced at her and then sat down to continue boiling the food. "You know I don't like you saying thank you."
Fang Qing knew that Wen Ning was unhappy, but she couldn't act like a spoiled child to him like she used to, right? After all, they broke up! Fang Qing poked at the sesame paste in the bowl and pouted, "It's not enough to say thank you..."
"What did you say?" Wen Ning tilted his head to look at her, and she was so scared that she quickly changed her words, "Nothing, eat quickly, your food is too hot..."
Wen Ning looked at Fang Qing's profile and shook his head helplessly. This girl must have said something bad about him. He knew this problem very well. In the past, when they were in love for so many years, every time she secretly muttered and cursed him behind his back, she would avoid the topic like this when he found out. Fang Qing herself didn't know, but he knew her habits very well.
Wen Ning sighed. No matter what, at least she was willing to talk to him, which was good news.
"After you went back that day, did those leaders contact you?" Wen Ning spoke slowly.
Fang Qing was stunned when he heard that, then he realized that he was talking about the people he met on the day of the banquet. He didn't want to respond, but when he thought that this matter might not be so easy to resolve without Wen Ning, he didn't want to continue playing dumb. He coughed and nodded.
"Yes, I have contacted them. They are all very easy to talk to. Our company has submitted the materials for joining the association. I think we will have the result next week."
Wen Ning took a bite of meat and nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, it seems those two cans of tea are still useful."
Tea? What kind of tea?
Fang Qing bit his chopsticks and tilted his head to look at him, "You... gave me a gift? Isn't that... a bribe?"
Wen Ning paused holding the slice of meat, and turned to look at her helplessly, "We were just sharing between friends. How come it tasted so different when it came to your mouth..."
Fang Qing felt that it was inappropriate to ask this question, but when she was with him, she felt that her brain was reduced to a state of intelligence, and she spoke without thinking. Fang Qing felt uneasy under his gaze, biting her chopsticks and turning her head back, "I'm afraid you will make a mistake... Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I shouldn't bother you..."
Wen Ning thought the piece of meat was delicious just now, but the next second it felt like chewing wax. He really was working so hard but it was not worth the effort!
Putting down his chopsticks, he stared at the hot pot in front of him for a long while, and finally sighed, "I know I have let you down before, but please don't always assume this of me. I just want to help you solve the problem as soon as possible. If you do it yourself, I don't know how many detours you will have to take. Ha! I am also a jerk. I like to put my warm face in front of the cold fart."
After saying that, he stood up suddenly. The chair behind him was dragged with a rustling sound, which made Fang Qing shudder.
Seeing that Wen Ning was really angry, Fang Qing felt uneasy for no reason, and was even more uncomfortable with Wen Ning's last few words. He couldn't eat anymore, quickly paid the bill, grabbed his clothes and chased after him.
"Wen Ning! Wait a minute, that's not what I meant, don't be angry..."
Fang Qing put on his coat while running, quickly chasing after Wen Ning who was striding forward in front of him. Seeing that Wen Ning had crossed the road and the green light was about to end, he rushed over with all his might, immediately causing the cars on the road to honk their horns.
Wen Ning was walking in front angrily when he suddenly heard the sound of someone chasing him from behind him stop. Then there was a burst of car horns. He was so scared that he turned around quickly and saw Fang Qing running across the road.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? You're so old and yet you ran a red light. You're not a child anymore. Why are you still making people so worried..."
Wen Ning watched Fang Qing chasing after him. The anger in his chest was slowly dissipating, but he didn't expect her to be so reckless. He suddenly became really angry.
Fang Qing was like a child who had made a mistake. She held her handbag and listened to the lecture obediently. It was not until Wen Ning finished speaking that she realized, "What's wrong?" How come in such a short time, she was the one who was wrong?
Thinking about how he had been missing for two years without any explanation, and now he had come back without any explanation, and even couldn't explain it clearly to many women, Fang Qing suddenly felt confident again, and looked up at Wen Ning with his hands on his hips and a haughty look.
"Why are you so fierce? I'm just afraid that you'll be caught by others because of this matter! I heard from others that you're not doing so well in your company. I just don't want to cause you any trouble. Why are you so fierce..."
Seeing Fang Qing arguing with him, Wen Ning felt that his heart, which had been dry for a long time, finally came alive. He looked at Fang Qing with a faint smile, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. Fang Qing was talking excitedly, and gradually found that his eyes were looking at him differently, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"You...what's that look? Did I say something wrong? It was your fault in the first place, why are you blaming me now?"
Wen Ning looked at her angry face and felt his heart warmer than when he was eating hot pot just now, and he smiled immediately.
"Okay, it's my fault. I apologize. Be good."
