It wasn't until the next morning that Qiao Xiangrong sobered up and rushed to the clothing store.
Seeing Sheng Ting sitting inside, he quickly went in and said, "Tingting, I'm sorry."
“Brother Qiao,” Sheng Ting quickly stood up.
Upon hearing Qiao Xiangrong's apology, Liu Hongfang and the others all looked over, thinking that Qiao Xiangrong had done something to wrong Sheng Ting, and their expressions changed.
"I drank too much yesterday, and I didn't even notice you left, leaving you to come back alone, and..."
Qiao Xiangrong anxiously explained to Sheng Ting.
Sheng Ting shook her head and smiled, "Under those circumstances, you couldn't consider so many things, I understand!"
"Tingting, do you really understand?" Qiao Xiangrong felt relieved when he saw that Sheng Ting didn't seem angry.
“You’re discussing business, how could I not understand?” Sheng Ting said with a smile. “Brother Qiao, you’ve sweated so much, why don’t you come in and have a cup of tea?”
“Okay,” Qiao Xiangrong followed Sheng Ting into the back.
The two spoke in front of everyone, and since it wasn't Qiao Xiangrong who wronged Sheng Ting, no one paid any more attention.
"To make up for it, let's get together again today, Tingting. Are you willing to give us a chance to make it up?" Qiao Xiangrong asked, holding Sheng Ting's hand tightly.
Sheng Ting was taken aback, "Today?"
“Yes,” Qiao Xiangrong said, “After sobering up, we kept regretting going to that restaurant. Today we’ve learned our lesson and are going to a more ordinary restaurant. You don’t mind, do you?”
"No," Sheng Ting felt much better. "I still have some things to do at the shop, so I might be there later."
"It's alright, I'll come pick you up at six o'clock," Qiao Xiangrong said happily after receiving a definite answer.
*
Qiao Xiangrong arrived to pick him up at six o'clock as expected. He had changed his clothes, and the suit made him look even taller and more energetic.
"Tingting!"
“Brother Qiao,” Sheng Ting was still wearing that extremely elegant long dress. Her skin was fair, her face was delicate and beautiful, and she had a very charming air about her when she stood in the sunlight.
Seeing Sheng Ting like this, my heart started beating faster.
"Tingting, you look so beautiful today!"
Sheng Ting blushed when she met Qiao Xiangrong's affectionate gaze. "Let's go quickly, don't keep everyone waiting."
"good!"
Qiao Xiangrong quickly opened the car door and let Sheng Ting get in.
They had just left when Sheng Qian returned from outside.
Upon entering, not seeing Sheng Ting, they asked Yang Ping and the others, "Aunt Yang, where is Sister Sheng Ting?"
"Boss Qiao is here to pick Xiaoting up for dinner again," Yang Ping and the others started packing up to go home after get off work.
“I just went there yesterday,” Sheng Qian frowned slightly.
"We're not entirely sure either. Maybe we didn't get to meet the parents yesterday, and then we went out for dinner today. Xiaoqian, once you've packed your things, we'll be going now."
Sheng Qian nodded: "I'll close the door."
Zhou Ran didn't come home from get off work either, probably because he ate out, so Sheng Qian just cooked her own meals.
The restaurant we chose this time was a bit ordinary, but it was still in the upper-middle range.
Sheng Ting thought she would be with the Qiao family, but when they arrived, Zhao Rong and Qiao Xuejing were not there at all.
Surprisingly, Professor Pan was also there yesterday.
Qiao Xiangrong was also visibly taken aback when he saw Pan Xianyun, and then froze.
“Professor Pan just happened to be here for dinner. We ran into each other outside and invited him to join us for a meal. Sheng Ting, you don’t mind, do you?” Qiao Weiyu said.
Sheng Ting recalled the way Professor Pan looked at her and his little gesture, and her smile froze a bit. "Of course I don't mind."
“Dad,” Qiao Xiangrong sat down, looking at Qiao Weiyu with some displeasure.
Qiao Weiyu gave him a knowing look.
Qiao Xiangrong understood the signal in his eyes, and his expression changed instantly.
"Professor Pan, please don't mind the poor hospitality today," Qiao Weiyu said, seemingly oblivious to his son's expression, and continued chatting with Pan Xianyun.
However, Pan Xianyun's real intention was not what he was looking for; he stared intently at Sheng Ting, who was standing next to Qiao Xiangrong.
here we go again.
Sheng Ting could feel the disgusting gaze.
But given her circumstances, she had no choice but to endure it.
"Since we've met and are having dinner together, I can't just let the Qiao family pay. So, I'll have someone bring over a bottle of wine."
As he spoke, Pan Xianyun gestured to the person next to him to fetch a bottle of wine.
Hearing the word "alcohol," Sheng Ting felt a little strange.
The last bottle of red wine was delivered. Red wine wasn't cheap at this time of year. Seeing how generous Pan Xianyun was, Qiao Weiyu knew that he had to take Sheng Ting away today.
Moreover, he was prepared to hand Sheng Ting over to Pan Xianyun.
When pouring the wine, a glass was also prepared for Sheng Ting.
Seeing that everyone else had drunk without any problems, Sheng Ting had also trained her alcohol tolerance with Zhou Ran, so drinking a glass or two was fine for her.
I didn't think much of it at the time.
Qiao Xiangrong noticed that Pan Xianyun was drinking from the same bottle of wine, but didn't find anything else wrong.
After Sheng Ting drank a glass of wine, she fell asleep on the table. Qiao Xiangrong was startled: "Tingting."
“It seems this Miss Sheng can’t hold her liquor. Find two people to take her downstairs to rest,” Pan Xianyun said, making no attempt to hide his primal nature.
"Professor Pan, let me take care of my girlfriend," Qiao Xiangrong emphasized the word "girlfriend."
Pan Xianyun immediately showed his displeasure.
Qiao Weiyu quickly pulled him down, "Professor Pan just had someone take him away to take care of him first, and was worried that he might run away."
As she spoke, she winked at her son, then whispered something. Qiao Xiangrong's face turned pale, and he sat back down stiffly.
