Reborn 1990, the husband is actually a boss

Chapter 71
He wanted to say something.

But Ning Meng is not a person who easily indulges in the emotional world and needs to be relieved by others.

But in the blink of an eye, she had left behind the little bit of lost emotion in her heart.

Before Qi Rui opened his mouth, he smiled generously and said to him: "Thank you, Brother Qi, is the food enough? If not, add more."

A good treat, of course, is to please the host and guest.

How can you be disturbed by those who don't matter?
Lost the best opportunity to explain.

Qi Rui was a little bit uninterested, his brows were half down, and he said softly: "No need, that's enough."

Before Su Zhenfang came, they were almost done eating.

Now simply check out and leave.

When paying the bill, it was the money from Ning Meng.

Facing Mrs. Wu's eyes of condemnation and anger, Qi Rui turned his head away pretending not to notice.

The thick and deep eyelashes concealed all the emotions in his eyes.

He went outside to wait for Ning Meng on his own.

Shame?
For sensitive and vulnerable people, it may feel humiliating.

However, Qi Rui is not the kind of person who can't bear the strange eyes of others.

Even if he really can't invite her to eat such a table of delicious food in the restaurant now.

He is equally at ease.

Ning Meng's mind is delicate, but she has long been accustomed to the equality of men and women in later generations, and for a moment forgot that it is still a relatively backward era.

Who would have known that her treat on the spur of the moment would make Qi Rui accept the strange eyes of some guests in the small restaurant.

Pointing at him:

"Looking at the clothes, I thought he was a decent person, but I didn't think so, he was a little boy."

"Isn't it? When we go to a restaurant to eat and rely on women to pay the bill, we men lose face."

"It's really shameless to order so many dishes."

"Hey, who said that people are shameless, don't people rely on their faces for food?"

Others booed and laughed loudly.

Qi Rui acted as if he had never heard of it, and stood aside calmly, waiting for Ning Meng to finish paying and come out.

The boss doesn't care about these gossips, Ning Meng, who came over after paying the bill, can't tolerate them slandering the boss like this.

"Husband, I've paid the bill, please keep your wallet."

She walked over from behind, took Qi Rui's hand pretending to be intimate, and looked at him with a smile.

And handed him the purse containing the money.

Qi Rui's heart skipped a beat, astonishment and disbelief flashed across his dark and deep eyes.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he moved his body sideways with difficulty, trying to get rid of the relationship.

Ning Meng laughed and pulled Qi Rui's hand, and hugged her tightly: "Why are you looking at me stupidly, you want to give all the money to me for safekeeping?"

"Great! Thank you husband!"

Ning Meng put on a happy expression and put the wallet back into her arms.

He also took a special look at the group of people who were gossiping just now.

What's wrong with the young couple eating together and asking the daughter-in-law to pay the bill?
Is it jealous of the beautiful daughter-in-law?

Or do you hate yourself for not being as handsome as other men?

Ning Meng looked away embarrassedly at the person, and then proudly took Qi Rui's hand and walked out.

"Come on, husband, let's go home."

When Ning Meng pulled Qi Rui to the avenue outside, he still let her walk forward holding hands in a daze.

The whole person is floating in mid-air.

Ning Meng's sweet voice calling him "husband" still echoed in her ears.

That voice, falling in his ears, was sweet and waxy, like candy wrapped in sugar.

Qi Rui never thought that there would be a woman standing in front of him to protect him.

Moreover, she called him husband just now!

This is different from her saying that he is her object in front of Lin Jiarong, Su Zhenfang and others.

He knew that it was just an expedient measure for her to get rid of those people's entanglement.

Things are different now.

Those who gossip do not know them.

He never paid attention to such innocuous gossip.

She didn't need to gamble her reputation to rescue him.

Could it be...

Did she like him a little bit?

Qi Rui closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly, an unconcealable joy flashed in his deep pupils.

However, this joyful light only had time to bloom for a moment, and it was instantly annihilated.

He stopped and shuddered.

"What? Stupid?"

Ning Meng stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Qi Rui, smiling like a flower.

Qi Rui tore her hand off his arm, sighed, and said bitterly:

"For your own good and my own good, don't say such things in the future."

"Also, next time you go to Yangcheng, I will ask Chen Xubing to accompany you."

Ning Meng didn't expect that he would help the boss out of the siege, but he tried his best to clear up his relationship with him.

Also keep your distance from him.

Suddenly stunned.

How happy I was just now, how disappointed I am now.

Fortunately, Ning Meng's psychological endurance is strong enough, so she won't be devastated by the blow.

She was just stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly and replied, "Okay, I will contact him before I leave."

When parting, Ning Meng took out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to him.

When paying the bill in a small restaurant, she asked Mrs. Wu to give her a piece of kraft paper and folded an envelope.

This took a little longer than usual.

"Agreed to pay you, it's yours, accept it."

"I can't let you follow me for a few days in vain."

Qi Rui took the envelope, felt the thickness inside with his fingertips, and frowned with his bushy eyebrows.

"That's too much!"

The corners of Ning Meng's lips curved slightly: "Even if Brother Xu Bing goes out with me in the future, he will be treated the same."

"Don't you think it's not worth the money for your hard work?"

Now that it's all said and done, Qi Rui is too embarrassed to evade it.

It's fine if it's just his own remuneration, but it's also related to Chen Xubing's future income.

I can't refuse on his behalf.

This is getting better.

"Okay, it's okay, then I'll go first."

Ning Meng smiled, then turned and left freely.

Qi Rui looked at the back of Ning Meng who left without looking back, and felt that his heart was pulled hard by something.

It hurts.

He wanted to call out to her.

The moment he opened his mouth, he closed his eyes and smiled wryly. What capacity did he have to stop her?

Opening his eyes again, the figure of the woman had disappeared at the end of the road.

He silently touched his left hand. Just now she was holding it here, but now it is empty.

Feeling lost in my heart.

But her breath still seemed to remain on his arm.

Through the thin sleeves, it penetrated into his skin.

Qi Rui pursed his lips and left quickly.

She is not someone he can miss just yet.

He has to work harder!
……

When Ning Meng returned home, Zhang Rongfen was having dinner with Ning Shuisheng.

Ning Chao is not at home.

I don't know where to go.

"I'm back, have you eaten yet?"

Seeing her coming back, Zhang Rongfen quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, poured water and took towels for her.

Ning Meng took the towel, scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and poured it into the basin, washed her hands and wiped her face.

"I've eaten, you guys eat first."
