Xu Zhengwen was quite supportive. He didn't mind Ling Ju praising his beauty at all. Instead, he found her very interesting.
Normally, he hated those women who showed off their beauty just because they knew they were a little bit pretty.
But Ling Ju made him feel that this girl was very interesting and smart.
Who among those present didn't know how they got married? But Ling Ju's answer immediately resolved the awkwardness.
Xu Zhengwen looked at Song Qi's broad arms beside Ling Ju. It felt a bit of a waste to pair this beautiful woman with a strong man like him, like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.
Song Lingchen was very well-behaved in Song Qi's arms, playing with Jingada.
Xu Zhengwen looked at the little guy and a thought suddenly came to his mind: if Ling Ju had a son with him, he would definitely be cuter than Song Lingchen.
While a few people were chatting, the dishes were served one by one.
Ling Ju is a foodie after all, and is very good at ordering dishes. He has a combination of meat and vegetables, northern and southern flavors, and seasonal specialties.
"Excuse me, Brother Xu. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I usually eat alone when I eat with others. Do you mind if I serve a separate portion?"
Xu Zhengwen quickly said, "No problem, no problem. You serve first."
Song Qi took two plates, filled them up for Ling Ju, and then asked everyone else to start eating.
Song Wei, who had not spoken much during the meal, filled everyone's glasses with the wine he brought.
"Brother Xu, would you like to drink some of this pure grain wine that I brewed at home?"
Xu Zhengwen took a sniff and it was indeed fragrant. "This wine is good. I'll have a small amount. You can't drink too much while driving!"
"good."
Song Wei filled his and Ling Yong's glasses, and poured himself another.
Song Qi refused, "You guys drink it, I still have to look after the child."
"good."
After a few drinks, the atmosphere at the table may have become a little better.
Xu Zhengwen also took the initiative to ask about the health of Song Qiangjun and Song Xiulan.
Song Wei answered them one by one.
After talking about family and work, Song Wei finally turned the topic directly to the work of the logistics department.
Ling Ju listened carefully to their conversation. This high-ranking official's son was always beating around the bush. Xu Zhengwen was trying to get a word in, and so was Song Wei. These two, combined, had a thousand tricks up their sleeves.
interesting.
"Brother Xu, although your job in the logistics department is a civilian one, I heard it's quite demanding. I feel like you've lost a lot of weight compared to last year. I heard that the higher-ups are very strict about logistics now?"
Xu Zhengwen nodded. "It's indeed very strict, but it's not that hard. Compared to you guys, this is just an easy job."
"Is that so? So, what are Brother Xu's hobbies? Reading books or playing with birds?"
Xu Zhengwen shook his head. "I don't have any hobbies. When I'm not working, I just stay at home, chatting with my wife and cooking. My life is pretty ordinary. We don't have a big family like yours, so it's not very lively. There's really nothing interesting to do here. I just pass the time."
While Xu Zhengwen was speaking, he inadvertently observed Ling Ju's expression.
Sure enough, after he finished talking about cooking, he noticed a hint of surprise on Ling Ju's face. It seemed that he was right.
A woman who likes to cook will definitely like a man who can cook.
"Oh, you can cook?"
Xu Zhengwen nodded, "Occasionally. The dishes here are really good! It seems Yan Jintang has put a lot of effort into it. Someone from our unit invited me to join them before, but I refused. I didn't expect that I would miss out!"
As soon as Xu Zhengwen finished speaking, Ling Ju heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the corridor, followed by voices.
"Mr. Yan, Miss Ling and Mr. Song are coming today. Do you want to go and see them?"
