Chapter 400 What's the relationship?
While Xu Yeqing was ordering food, Jiang Yuxu kept staring over there.
Gui Qing had her back to him, and the man was facing him. Even from a distance, Jiang Yuxu could basically see his appearance clearly.
He was wearing a black suit and had a distinguished demeanor. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person—but he looked much older than Gui Qing.
Judging from her temperament, she is at least thirty-five years old.
Bigger than him.
What is the relationship between the two of them?
Jiang Yuxu really didn't want to make any malicious assumptions, but when he thought of the smile Gui Qing gave him, he couldn't help but think of other things.
Although he only saw her briefly just now, he could clearly tell that when she smiled at this man, her smile was different from usual.
It was completely different from the smile she had shown in front of him before.
However, apart from this smile, I didn't see any intimate behavior between the two of them just now——
"Senior, senior?" Xu Yeqing, who was ordering food, asked Jiang Yuxu the same question several times, but didn't hear his answer. He could only call him repeatedly to try to get him back to his senses.
This time the shout was successful, Jiang Yuxu looked away, "What's wrong?"
"I remember you don't eat spicy food, right?" Xu Yeqing confirmed with him.
Jiang Yuxu nodded, "Why do you remember?"
In his impression, their relationship was not close enough to talk about eating habits.
Xu Yeqing: "We've eaten in the school cafeteria a few times, and I noticed you always chose tacos without chili."
Jiang Yuxu really had no recollection of it, but he had to admire Xu Yeqing's memory: "You have a good memory."
Xu Yeqing: "Not really, I just try to remember things that are important to me."
She kept looking at him while she spoke, and with that look and those words, even if Jiang Yuxu was slow-witted, he could understand what she meant.
Jiang Yuxu remained silent and did not respond, thinking in his mind how to make things clear to Xu Yeqing.
Xu Yeqing didn't feel embarrassed by his silence. He smiled and smoothed over the matter, then asked the waiter to place his order.

This table in the corner.
Xie Yu'an watched Gui Qing turn her head to look back from time to time, and couldn't help but look over there as well.
However, there were several tables where Gui Qing was looking.
Xie Yuan was curious: "Er Er, did you run into someone you know?"
Gui Qing frowned when she heard this name: "Don't call me that."
Xie Yuan: "I'm used to it. I'm your elder."
Gui Qing: "How dare you say that."
Perhaps because of her irritable mood, Gui Qing's tone of voice became a little harsh.
Xie Yuan sensed her difference from usual and laughed, "Why are you so angry all of a sudden? What did you see that made you angry?"
Gui Qing: "I'm heartbroken."
Her casual three words made Xie Yu'an laugh even harder. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There is someone who is capable of making us break up. He must be quite something."
Gui Qing: "If you call me that name again, do you believe I'll scream and call you daddy?"
Xie Yu'an spread his hands: "If you're willing, it's not impossible."
Gui Qing rolled her eyes.
Xie Yuan glanced in the direction she had just looked. Among those tables, the only one that looked like a couple was the one in the middle.
Xie Yuan's gaze fell on the man. It was not very clear from a distance, but he could tell that he was a handsome man with a pair of glasses on his nose and a somewhat cold temperament.
"Is it that one?" Xie Yuan asked Gui Qing.
Gui Qing: "Do you really think of yourself as my dad?"
Xie Yuan: "I'm just concerned about you. It's rare to see someone put you in a difficult position—Is the girl who came with him his girlfriend?"
Gui Qing shrugged.
Xie Yuan: "There are still men you can't get, they are rare."
Gui Qing curled the corners of her mouth casually, "There are many wonders in this world."
Xie Yuan: "So, it's him?"
He glanced in the man's direction again. "How did you know him? Where is he from? What's his background?"
"Chairman Xie, you're just doing background checks here." Gui Qing glanced at him and said, "Leave me alone."
Xie Yuan: "I'm your father, it's my duty to check for you."
Gui Qing: “…”
Seeing Gui Qing's speechless expression, Xie Yu'an waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. As an elder, I respect your privacy."
Gui Qing: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've become more and more arrogant like an elder. It seems like you two are getting along well lately."
Talking about this, Xie Yuan immediately smiled and said, "We have always had a good relationship."
Gui Qing waved her hands: "Stop it, don't show off to me, I can't stand you."
"Zhici brought you something. I left it at the hotel because I had to go out for a meeting with a partner today." Xie Yuan looked at his watch. "Come with me after dinner to get it."
Gui Qing nodded and asked curiously: "What is it?"
Xie Yuan: "I bought a jade bracelet at an auction some time ago. Jade nourishes people."
Gui Qing: "Next time, just give me the money directly."
Xie Yuan smiled: "That's fine. Are you short of money recently? I'll transfer it to you."

Jiang Yuxu was absent-minded during the meal.
He woke up this morning feeling upset and had no appetite. He skipped breakfast and had a quick lunch. He had no interest in the delicious food on the table in the evening.
No matter how enthusiastic Xu Yeqing was, he was still a little flustered by his lack of interest.
"Senior, is it not to your liking?" Xu Yeqing asked.
"No." Jiang Yuxu shook his head.
Xu Yeqing: "Then...are you in a bad mood?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Well, there were some problems at work. Sorry."
Xu Yeqing: "It's okay."
She comforted Jiang Yuxu, "You are so capable, you will definitely be able to solve the problems at work. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
Jiang Yuxu nodded.
Xu Yeqing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to say to him, "Actually... life isn't just about work, right?"
"Senior, have you ever thought that some unexpected events and emotions are easier to digest with someone by your side?" She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. "Actually, for all these years, I've always..."
"Sorry, I don't have that idea." Jiang Yuxu was rarely so rude and interrupted her directly: "I don't know what Cheng Mi said, but those are his personal speculations. I don't fall in love simply because I don't have that idea."
Jiang Yuxu's words were meant to save Xu Yeqing's face, and he didn't directly say "I don't remember you at all."
After all, the other party is a girl and has never offended him, so there is no need to say such harsh words.
But Jiang Yuxu didn't know that sometimes speaking not harshly enough is equivalent to giving the other person hope.
Xu Yeqing didn't think Jiang Yuxu's words were a rejection. "It's okay. Maybe you'll change your mind in the future. I just hope you give me a chance to pursue you."
Jiang Yuxu moved his lips and was about to say "Don't waste your time on me" when he caught a glimpse of Gui Qing passing by.
Jiang Yuxu's attention was drawn to her.
However, Gui Qing was really just passing by.
She went in the direction of the bathroom, which was the only way.
Not to mention saying hello, she just ignored him as usual.
Jiang Yuxu gripped the cup at hand and gritted his teeth unconsciously.
