With Anqi easing the tension, Jiang Xile didn't feel awkward at all. Liu Ziming sat to the side, watching Jiang Xile, Xu Qian, and Anqi chat and laugh, his eyes full of tenderness.
The first step in pursuing your crush is to gradually introduce her into your social circle! (Achieved)
Jiang Xile had a very good first impression of Xu Qian and An Qi. No wonder her father praised them; both of them had great personalities.
Xu Qian is gentle and generous, cheerful, understanding, elegant, and eloquent. An Qi comes from a family with a strong academic background, is lively and playful, cute and charming, and delicate but not spoiled.
Jiang Xile accepted her two new friends well. Thinking about the job her father had mentioned before, Jiang Xile subtly inquired about the steel rolling mill from Xu Qian.
"Our factory is huge, it can be called a factory with 10,000 employees, but it is a bit far from here."
The factory also provides dormitories, and we usually eat in the canteen. I work in the administration department, so I rarely go to the workshop...
Xu Qian told Jiang Xile about what she knew, as long as it didn't involve factory secrets.
After listening to Xu Qian's description, Jiang Xile became more interested in the job. Putting the work aside for the moment, the wall clock in the living room struck again.
Liu Ziming stood up, holding his coat in his hand, and said:
"It's noon. Let me take you out to eat. What would you three young ladies like to eat? It's on me today!"
Xu Qian rolled her eyes at Liu Ziming. She didn't need to ask to know what her cousin was up to. Ever since he came in, his eyes had been glued to the young girl.
That stickiness was unbearable to look at. He even used her and Anqi as bait in his pursuit of that girl. If he didn't take advantage of her today, wouldn't he be wasting a great opportunity?
"Since Zimo has put it that way, let's go to Donglaishun for hot pot, what do you say? Does Xile like it?"
"I'm fine with anything! I'm not picky, whatever you like is fine!"
When it came to eating hot pot, Angie was overjoyed, as it was her favorite food!
"Since Xile has no objections, let's go eat hot pot. It's been more than half a month since I last had it, and I'm really craving it right now!"
"Alright, let's do as Sister Qian says, let's go to Donglaishun, I'll drive!"
"Okay, my dad's car is home today, you can drive it from the backyard and wait for us at the gate!"
"good!"
Liu Ziming drove out of the compound and headed straight for Donglaishun. After driving for more than half an hour, he arrived at the entrance of Donglaishun at exactly 12:30 pm.
Many people come to eat hot pot in winter. As soon as you enter the hall, you can see that it is filled with smoke and boiling heat.
The four of them ordered a square table and had just sat down when, before the pot had even been served, Qin Mingxuan and Wang Xuesong, along with Chu Yawen, Sheng Wanru, and Qin Mingyue, walked in together.
The handsome man and beautiful woman were an eye-catching pair wherever they went. Liu Ziming and his group saw Qin Mingxuan, and Qin Mingxuan and his group naturally saw Liu Ziming and his group as well.
Upon seeing Jiang Xile, Qin Mingxuan immediately put on a very obsequious smile and trotted over to her.
"Zimo, that's not fair of you! You secretly brought Jiang out to eat, and Sister Qian, you didn't even say a word when you came back. Xiao Anqi, have you finished your winter vacation homework?"
Liu Ziming sighed inwardly. He had just wanted to have a quiet meal, but he hadn't expected to run into these two cronies again. They couldn't stand Qin Mingxuan constantly getting close to Jiang Xile.
Liu Ziming easily lifted the person to the side with one hand.
"Just talk, why are you getting so close? Since we've run into each other, let's eat together. Tell the waiter to add another table next to us!"
"Alright! We've been waiting for you to say that, Mr. Mo. I'll go get the waiters, you guys wait a bit!"
These people are all regulars here, so adding a table was a piece of cake and it was done in no time.
Nine people sat at two square tables connected together, with two copper pots steaming hot, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.
This is Jiang Xile's first time eating hot pot since coming into this world. Thinking back, the last time she ate hot pot was more than ten years ago.
With Qin Mingxuan joining them, and Chu Yawen who always bickered with him, the meal was incredibly lively.
After dinner, at Qin Mingyue and An Qi's urging, the nine of them went to the movie theater together.
When choosing seats, Liu Ziming secretly used a little trick, and when he sat down, he was able to sit next to Jiang Xile without any problems.
Jiang Xile might not have noticed Liu Ziming's deliberate approach once or twice, but after a whole day, her actions naturally made her realize something was amiss.
However, since the other party didn't make it clear, she didn't say much. But she doesn't plan to find a partner for the time being.
After watching the movie, Liu Ziming immediately noticed Jiang Xile's deliberate distancing and his heart skipped a beat.
It wasn't until Jiang Xile refused Liu Ziming's offer to take her home that Liu Ziming finally broke down.
"Uncle Jiang knows that I brought you out, so naturally I have to send you home safely. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, wouldn't I become a sinner!"
With Jiang Yanshu brought up, Jiang Xile couldn't refuse Liu Ziming any longer. Anyway, it was just a few steps away, so she might as well give him a ride!
After saying goodbye to Xu Qian and An Qi, Jiang Xile and Liu Ziming walked towards the Jiang family home. Halfway there, Liu Ziming stopped.
Jiang Xile glanced at him inexplicably, feeling a little uneasy. What was this person up to?
Seeing Jiang Xile's wariness, Liu Ziming felt even more distressed, but he knew that if he didn't speak up, he might never have the chance again.
