Chapter 149 What kind of meal can't be eaten by three people together?
She was still a little apprehensive as she went downstairs.
As a result, there was no one in the main living room.
“They’ve all gone out. Grandma went back to the mountain village this morning. She told you to visit them there when you have time, otherwise you can only come back when we get married.”
Bo Wei: "Whenever you have time, let's go see Great-Grandpa and Grandpa and Grandma."
Last night, Grandma took her to her room and opened the safe for her to choose from.
That safe was something even ten children wouldn't dare buy in a game of house; it was so glittering and dazzling!
Bo Wei couldn't refuse her grandmother's enthusiasm and picked out a necklace, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings.
Grandma is wonderful; she was the first person to warmly accept me.
Li He nodded, "Okay, we'll take you into the mountains. Mom and I will take care of the wedding arrangements; you just need to cooperate throughout."
"Um."
When Bo Wei returned to her office, it was already afternoon work hours.
Upon arrival, he was met with teasing glances from his colleagues.
She genuinely felt that it was wrong for her to skip work and make exceptions, as it affected everyone's work mood.
But she really couldn't get up this morning; she was like she had fainted in bed.
I must make things clear with Li He in the future, and he absolutely cannot do this again.
Just before leaving get off work, Bo Wei received a WeChat message from Ji Mingxiu.
Ji Mingxiu: Weiwei, can we have dinner together tonight? We might not see each other for a long time.
Bo Wei's heart was racing, and she quickly replied: You resigned? Is it because of me? Where are you going?
Ji Mingxiu: Let's talk about it when we have dinner tonight. I've booked a barbecue restaurant; I've been wanting to take you there for a while.
But it wasn't too late.
Bo Wei: Okay.
Ji Mingxiu: Around seven o'clock. There might be traffic after get off work. It's better if you go out later and avoid the crowds.
Bo Wei felt a pang of sadness upon seeing those words. He was a good person, but she couldn't reciprocate.
Bo Wei: Okay.
Ji Mingxiu sent her the address and then didn't reply further.
When it was time to leave work, there was a commotion in the office as everyone quickly left.
In the past, Xu Xiangying would call out to her when she left, but starting yesterday, she stopped calling out to her and happily left with Zhou Yang.
Bo Wei: ...
She packed her bag and went upstairs, where Li He was still sitting in front of his computer.
Seeing her come in, he closed the file, smoothly saved the computer using a shortcut key, and shut it down.
“I’ve booked a restaurant. We’ll eat out today. After we eat, I’ll take you shopping. We’ll buy a few sets of pajamas and stockings, and a few sets of cosmetics and skincare products. We’ll keep one set at each home so you don’t have to carry them around.” He stood up and casually grabbed his coat.
Bo Wei: ...
"Ji Mingxiu invited me to dinner, and I accepted."
Li He's nonchalant demeanor froze for a moment when Bo Wei finished speaking.
"What did you say?" He approached her with a dark expression, looking at her.
Bo Wei looked at him, not feeling guilty at all, "I'll have a meal with him, and then I'll go back."
Li He looked at her coldly and nodded. "Alright, let's go."
Bo Wei: "...Don't go."
Li He: "What kind of meal can't be shared by three people? He said I wasn't allowed to go?"
Bo Wei felt powerless.
She slowly stepped forward, hugged his waist, and buried her face in his chest.
She murmured in a low, muffled voice, "Husband~"
Li He felt a surge of heat rising in his lower abdomen and pinned her tightly against the edge of the table. "Go to hell!"
He removed her arms from his waist and placed them on his shoulders, then lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely. His hands moved down, lifting the hem of her skirt...
His hands were large and warm.
Bo Wei was somewhat at a loss; she hadn't expected him to react this way.
He turned her around, pressed her against the table with one hand on the back of her neck, and pressed her face against the cold surface.
The sound of the zipper made Bo Wei's heart tighten, but he easily restrained her and she couldn't get rid of him.
Half an hour later.
Bo Wei leaned absently on Li He's shoulder, while Li He casually leaned back in his swivel chair, his eyes closed, his cheeks and neck flushed.
He swallowed hard, his large Adam's apple bobbing as he gently stroked her long, smooth hair.
Go early and come back early.
Bo Wei didn't even open her eyes before biting his shoulder.
He gently rubbed her head with his other hand. "Don't bite me, it will only irritate me. This is never going to end."
Bo Wei: ...
"Want to wipe yourself down, or go take a shower? Hmm?" His voice, with its nasal tone, was sexy and languid, but what he said...
"Take a shower!" she gritted her teeth.
By the time I finished tidying up, it was already past six o'clock.
I rushed to the restaurant before seven o'clock.
The store was quite large and crowded. Bo Wei stood at the entrance, completely disoriented.
Just as she was about to call Ji Mingxiu, she saw him squeeze through the crowd and walk towards her.
Ji Mingxiu approached, his gaze falling on Bo Wei's face, his smile gentle and calm.
"You're here, let's go."
Seeing his demeanor, Bo Wei felt a slight sense of relief and smiled, "Okay."
The two sat down in a semi-open private room, facing each other. He placed the QR code sign in front of her and said, "I've already ordered some things. Take a look at what I ordered. Add anything else you want to eat."
Bo Wei shook her head and looked at him with concern, asking, "Did you really resign?"
Ji Mingxiu saw anxiety and concern in her eyes, and nodded with a faint smile, "Mm."
"Why?" she asked anxiously. "This is your first job, with a high salary and you're being valued. You haven't been working here long enough. If you quit now, it will definitely affect your job search later."
Ji Mingxiu watched her silently.
Bo Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she said with a heavy heart, "It's because of me, right? You feel uncomfortable working at the Li Group."
"It seems President Li didn't tell you," he said slowly.
Bo Wei looked at him, "What do you mean?"
He lowered his eyelids, and his smile was somewhat forced. "President Li gave me an opportunity to study abroad. If I am ambitious enough, this opportunity can help me reach the highest heights I can achieve in my life."
Bo Wei was stunned; Li He hadn't told her anything.
"Congratulations, Weiwei, on marrying the person you love." Ji Mingxiu's eyes were filled with sincerity and reluctance.
Bo Wei's eyes reddened as she looked at him with guilt.
"President Li showed me your marriage certificate. Sure enough, you'll only be willing to do anything when you're with someone you love. Just like you, given your personality, you would never agree to a whirlwind marriage."
“Weiwei, look at me, there’s guilt in my eyes.” He forced a sad smile. “That’s the last thing I need.”
Tears welled up in Bo Wei's eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
Ji Mingxiu handed her a tissue. "We are destined to be apart. I took the things that President Li gave me. He said it was to pay you back on your behalf, so you don't need to feel guilty towards me anymore."
“I took what he gave me, not out of consideration for you so you wouldn’t feel indebted to me, but because I needed to be greedy. Because you didn’t owe me anything in the first place. When we were dating, we took care of each other, and it’s only natural that we broke up for some reason. It’s only natural that we broke up.”
Bo Wei felt a tightness and pain in her chest, and tears streamed down her face.
Ji Mingxiu is a very important person to her.
During that difficult time, he was there for her, even more important than her family.
He was a gentle and sunny person from beginning to end, even after the breakup.
She truly hoped that he would find someone he liked who also genuinely liked him in the future.
"Don't cry, I don't want to make you cry. I asked you out for dinner today because I feel that even if we're not lovers, we're closer than family. I don't want to lose contact with you and become strangers."
Bo Wei shook her head, "No, you will always be my most important friend and family."
The thought of the two of them becoming strangers made her feel incredibly sad.
"Okay, then stop crying. The food is served. Wipe your tears." He smiled gently and handed her a few tissues.
Bo Wei nodded and turned her head away to wipe her tears.
The dishes were served, and Ji Mingxiu gentlemanly grilled the meat.
Bo Wei's mood has improved a lot.
The two chatted while eating.
She discovered that when she wasn't interacting with Ji Mingxiu as a couple, they had more to talk about and the atmosphere was more harmonious.
She wasn't the only one who discovered it.
Ji Mingxiu was also surprised to find that in the short time after the breakup, she seemed like a completely different person, with her eyes and brows becoming much brighter.
So, she can be like this too?
A faint, bittersweet smile appeared on his lips.
