From Fu Yan's perspective, it looked like the two were kissing.
He slammed the water glass on the table with a bang, then got up and headed for the door.
Just then, my wrist was encircled by a cold hand.
Fu Yan turned around in surprise, and Jiang Yuqing looked at him with a smile: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, I'm late."
Fu Yan shook off his hand and looked out the window again.
Xiao Xin and Mo Xuan had long since disappeared.
Fu Yan was about to leave when Jiang Yuqing stopped him: "Xiao Yan, don't we still have a contract to sign?"
Using business as a pretext to invite someone to dinner—this is one of Jiang Yuqing's tactics.
But Fu Yan couldn't refuse this excuse, because Yu Muqing asked him to win over the Jiang family, since only the Jiang family could save the Fu family from their predicament.
Only by saving the Fu family can he embrace his own rose garden.
Fu Yan stopped in his tracks, pulled his thoughts back from the window, and turned back to his seat.
Jiang Yuqing sat down opposite him, her long legs casually crossed.
The waiter asked from the side, "Sir, would you like the food served now?"
Jiang Yuqing nodded slightly to him.
The dishes were served shortly afterward.
Jiang Yuqing picked up a few dishes for Fu Yan with her chopsticks, then put them down and said, "Xiao Yan, these are all your favorite dishes. I specially asked the private chef to make them for you. Please try them."
Fu Yan looked at the delicious food on the table, but lost all appetite.
He looked up at Jiang Yuqing and said, "I won't eat. Did you bring the contract you mentioned, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Yuqing rested his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together, and used the backs of his hands to support his chin: "Xiao Yan, you used to call me Brother Yuqing, how come now..."
Fu Yan's expression was indifferent: "The past is the past. I've forgotten about it now. I'm sorry."
Fu Yan learned from his assistant that he used to like Jiang Yuqing, but the two were never together. So he wanted to distance himself as soon as possible, as he didn't want to have any ambiguous relationship with anyone other than Xiao Xin.
“Heh,” Jiang Yuqing chuckled, her tone sarcastic, “Young Master Fu is truly heartless.”
"No matter how heartless Young Master Fu is, how could he be as heartless as Young Master Jiang? He pursued you for five years, and you always ignored him, didn't you?"
Mo Xuan's voice came from behind him. Jiang Yuqing turned his head and saw Mo Xuan walking up behind him.
Following closely behind Mo Xuan was Xiao Xin.
Fu Yan raised his eyes slightly and met Xiao Xin's cold gaze, his breath catching in his throat.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment; beneath the calm surface, undercurrents surged.
Xiao Xin met his gaze, then slowly looked away and landed on Jiang Yuqing's face, only to find that Jiang Yuqing was also looking at him, still wearing that extremely hypocritical smile.
Beneath that beautiful exterior lies a vile devil.
Jiang Yuqing glanced at him, then asked Mo Xuan, "What are you doing here?"
Mo Xuan took the water glass in front of him, tilted his head back and took a sip, chuckling, "What, you own this shop, so I can't patronize it?"
Jiang Yuqing looked at Xiao Xin behind him: "What about him?"
Mo Xuan realized what was happening and then noticed that Xiao Xin was clenching his fists tightly at his sides, staring intently at Jiang Yuqing, trembling with anger.
He walked over, grabbed Xiao Xin's hand, and whispered in his ear, "There are too many people around, and they have bodyguards. We can't beat them."
Xiao Xin suppressed the urge to punch him, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you still planning to eat here?"
Mo Xuan chuckled softly in his ear: "Where do you want to go? I'll go with you."
The two clasped hands and their intimate whispers in each other's ears were all seen by Fu Yan, piercing his heart.
My heart felt like it was being gripped by something, a sharp, intermittent pain.
The veins on his hand, which was gripping the water glass tightly, stood out, his eyes were sore, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Xiao Xin stopped looking at Fu Yan and Jiang Yuqing and turned to walk out the door before losing control of her emotions.
Mo Xuan quickly grabbed his hand, turned around and looked at Jiang Yuqing and Fu Yan with a smug smile: "Sorry, my boyfriend said that eating here is disgusting, so we're going to find another place. You guys keep eating."
The two held hands tightly. Before Xiao Xin could correct Mo Xuan's words, she felt her hand being gripped tightly.
He struggled slightly for a moment, but the hand gripped him even tighter.
Mo Xuan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't move, I'm just helping you."
"..." Xiao Xin thought about it and agreed. It was good to make Fu Yan give up all thoughts about him.
Fu Yan's eyes were red. Seeing that Xiao Xin was about to disappear from his sight, he hurriedly stood up from his chair and called out to Xiao Xin's back, "Brother!"
Xiao Xin had her back to him, paused for a second as she opened the door, then opened it as if she hadn't heard him and resolutely walked out.
Fu Yan panicked, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
My vision blurred, and all the images gradually became distorted.
He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and was about to walk out the door.
The two bodyguards behind him immediately pulled him back and handed him tissues: "Young Master Fu, calm down."
Fu Yan broke free from the hands of the two bodyguards and looked down to see Jiang Yuqing looking at him with a strange gaze, which temporarily restored his composure.
Yes, he still wants to discuss cooperation, and he also wants to protect the Fu family.
He can't be willful, at least not before Fu Qingting wakes up.
Fu Yan wiped away her tears with a tissue, her eyes red as she looked at Jiang Yuqing. "Mr. Jiang, did you bring the contract with you?"
Jiang Yuqing withdrew her surprised expression and put on a smile.
He glanced at the dishes on the table and said to Fu Yan, "Let's eat first, then talk about the contract, okay?"
Fu Yan is currently suffering from amnesia, so he doesn't have an absolute chance of winning and doesn't want to push Fu Yan too hard.
Since Xiao Xin intends to neglect Fu Yan, he will give him enough warmth.
He refused to believe that the fish wouldn't bite even with his efforts.
Fu Yan was unaware of Jiang Yuqing's intentions. He glanced at the departing figures of the two outside the window, withdrew his dejected gaze, and then picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
Bitter, salty, and unpalatable.
Fu Yan couldn't hold it in and vomited directly into the plate next to him.
He tried several other dishes, but they were still just as unpalatable.
Seeing his pained expression while eating, Jiang Yuqing said calmly, "Stop eating, let's sign the contract."
Fu Yan glanced at him, then lowered her eyes and put down her chopsticks.
"good."
＊
Inside the car, Xiao Xin, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly said, "My phone is broken."
"Huh?" Mo Xuan glanced at him while driving: "Should we go change now?"
Xiao Xin shook her head. "No need, let's go eat first."
Mo Xuan responded with an "Oh," and said, "That works too."
Xiao Xin glanced at Mo Xuan's calm profile and asked, "Are you alright after saying those things to Jiang Yuqing just now?"
Mo Xuan: "What did you say?"
Xiao Xin sat up straight, leaning back in his seat, looking ahead at the car, and said, "Say I'm you..."
"Boyfriend?" Mo Xuan continued.
Xiao Xin: "Mm."
Mo Xuan smiled and said, "I don't care about myself, the key is you..."
Xiao Xin didn't speak, so Mo Xuan continued, "I'll say it again: don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Xiao Xin glanced at him sideways: "Mo Xuan, why are you so nice to me?"
