Xia Xi was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head to look at her son. She saw Ziheng stuffing French fries into her mouth with an innocent look on his face, as if she had no idea what was going on.
But how could he not know?
The last time the mother and son talked in the bathroom, Ziheng knew at that time that Xu Yanfeng was his father.
So he did this... on purpose?
This child is smart, observant and quick-witted. He looks mature on a daily basis and understands many things without adults telling him anything.
Zhou Du, on the other hand, was dazed because he hadn't reacted. Xia Xi got anxious and kicked him under the table. This time, she had a good grasp of the direction and didn't make the same mistake as before.
Zhou Du looked at her and Xia Xi narrowed her eyes.
After receiving her hint, Zhou Du coughed and accepted it: "Okay... Daddy will get you another one."
He waved to the waiter and asked for a plate of ketchup.
Xia Xi didn't dare to look at Xu Yanfeng's expression at the moment, for fear of revealing her emotions. She only dared to glance at him secretly with the corner of her eyes. She saw him put down the cutlery, picked up the napkin to wipe his mouth, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.
The doubts should be dispelled.
Xia Xi picked up the cup and took a sip of orange juice to calm herself down.
Xu Yanfeng is more difficult to deal with than he was six years ago, no matter from which aspect.
"What kind of renovations does Mr. Lu's design company mainly undertake? I have a project here, and I wonder if there's any chance for us to work together."
Xu Yanfeng's voice suddenly rang in my ears. His tone was calm and he was talking about work, as if the previous incident had been resolved.
Xia Xi finally dared to look up at him. He was sitting with his legs crossed, one hand on his knee and the other on the edge of the dining table. He was facing her sideways, his expression calm. Xia Xi's tense nerves slowly relaxed. It seemed that he really didn't intend to delve into Ziheng's allergy any further.
Lu Mingji was completely bewildered throughout his meal, as if he were watching a pantomime. When Xu Yanfeng called on him, he paused for a moment before reacting, "Ah, our company accepts both home renovations and industrial installations. Is this a personal project, Mr. Xu, or a company project?"
If it is a company project, being able to board the Xu Group will naturally be of great benefit to Boya's future development.
Xu Yanfeng said: "Private project."
Lu Mingji paused, feeling a sense of disappointment as if his hopes had been dashed. He smiled faintly and said, "Sure. I'll probably need you to discuss the specific renovation ideas with your account manager or designer at another time..."
Having said that, he suddenly thought of something and glanced at Xia Xi. She was the designer. Could it be that Xu Yanfeng was coming for her?
"Of course I understand that." Xu Yanfeng lowered his crossed legs, his demeanor businesslike, revealing no selfish motives. "We'll talk later."
What else could Lu Mingji say but to nod.
If he were given another chance, he would definitely make excuses to get away with it, always feeling that he hadn't performed well enough and had let Xia Xi down. What if Xu Yanfeng really came over and specifically asked Xia Xi to be in charge of this project, would she accept it or not?
The adults were full, but the children were slow eaters. They didn't rush to leave until they had finished, so they just sat there chatting idly. Zhou Du didn't listen to what they were saying at all. He didn't interrupt from beginning to end. As if the stool had thorns on it, he became increasingly restless and wanted to leave.
After another 20 minutes of waiting, the two little ones finally finished eating. Youyou patted her bulging belly and said, "Mom, let's go home."
Lu Mingji: "I'll go pay the bill."
Zhou Du finally got the chance to leave, so how could he miss it? He stood up first, almost knocking over the chair behind him: "I'll go get it!"
Xu Yanfeng sat there motionless, and spoke slowly: "The waiter has been charged to my account."
Zhou Du thought for a moment and changed his words: "I'm going to the bathroom!"
He ran as fast as he could. In short, he didn't want to stay in the same space with Xu Yanfeng anymore, otherwise he would suffocate to death.
He shouldn't have come to join in the fun tonight. He ate so much that his stomach hurt.
This is not eating, it's clearly swallowing a knife.
If he hadn't come, he would be taking a comfortable bath in the luxurious suite of a five-star hotel, sipping red wine and enjoying the night view of South City. He would be asking for trouble.
Zhou Du complained all the way and went to the bathroom. He came out and stood in front of the sink to wash his hands. Suddenly, a figure approached him. It was black and slender. Zhou Du glanced at it casually and his pupils trembled.
Why is it Xu Yanfeng, that living devil? !
Zhou Du closed his eyes in despair, repeating "He didn't see me" twice in his mind, then held his breath, turned around quietly, and took a step forward while praying for a safe escape.
Xu Yanfeng put his hands under the sensor faucet, and warm water flowed out. He rubbed his hands slowly and saw from the mirror that Zhou Du looked like a big idiot, thinking that he could avoid other people's sight and disappear from here.
He spoke slowly, his voice like jade tapping ice: "You seem guilty."
As his words rang out, Zhou Du was like a thief caught stealing. His back suddenly stiffened, his expression became panicked, his eyes flickered frequently, and he groaned in his heart.
What is this?
Xu Yanfeng took his hand away from the faucet, the water stopped flowing, and there was silence all around.
He pulled out a few tissues from the tissue box on the white marble countertop, folded them together, and wiped the water droplets from his hands. He frowned and said to himself, "You stole my girlfriend, so you feel guilty when you see me?"
Zhou Du admired Xu Yanfeng's psychological quality from the bottom of his heart. He was too strong. If it were another man, who could say so calmly that he had been betrayed?
He turned around woodenly. This was the first time he had looked directly into Xu Yanfeng's eyes tonight. He was not shorter than him, but his aura was much weaker. "What happened back then is not what you think..."
