deep white secret

Chapter 42: You Like It

When Ningxia was still in bed the next day, she actually received a call from Lin Chengtian:

"Ningxia, I heard that you came back from Lin County and came out to have fun?"

Ning Xia doesn't think she has anything to do with Lin Chengtian:
"Manager Lin, thank you for sending the flowers to the criminal investigation team, but it is really a waste to leave them in the conference room."

Lin Chengtian was stunned on the phone for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Don't waste it, it won't cost you much, as long as you like Ningxia."

"I do not like."

Lin Chengtian laughed loudly on the phone:
"Really? Then I'll say goodbye tomorrow."

Ning Xia frowned.

"Okay, Ningxia, we are now acquainted. I would like to treat you to dinner at noon."

"No, I don't have time."

"You have time. I know you don't have a boyfriend, and there are no cases in the police force. Come out."

Ningxia feels very annoyed:

"We don't know each other well, I won't go out."

Lin Chengtian laughed even more:
"What? Are you afraid that I'll eat you? What are you afraid of? Otherwise, if I go to the bureau to find you tomorrow, I still won't believe you won't come out."

Ningxia was so angry that she clenched her fists.

Lin Chengtian couldn't hear Ning Xia's voice on the other side of the phone, so he knew he had a chance to win. Sure enough, there was no woman that Lin Chengtian couldn't handle.

"How about it? Let's make an appointment at Fu Hai Hotel, No. 50 Kui Ying Street, at 11:30. See you there or not. It's settled."

After Lin Chengtian hung up the phone, Ning Xia listened to the beeping busy tone speechlessly and fell on the bed again.

What does Lin Chengtian mean?
Ning Xia was lying on her back, completely sleepless. She didn't think she was so charming that Lin Chengtian could fall in love at first sight.

So what is Lin Chengtian doing over and over again?Shi Yihang also hinted to himself that there is no shortage of girls around Lin Chengtian, so...

Ning Xia frowned, what was Lin Chengtian's motive and purpose for approaching him?
Thinking of the subtle feeling between Lin Chengtian and Xu Jie when they had their first meal, was it because of Xu Jie?

Ning Xia turned around and overturned this idea again, how could it be possible?

Xu Jie is the captain and has nothing to do with him. Lin Chengtian deliberately approaches him because of Xu Jie?

It doesn't make sense at all.

Ningxia thought for a long time and finally decided to give up. Rather than guessing here and there, it was better to face the truth.

So Ningxia decided to meet Lin Chengtian. No matter what he thinks, you will know if you get close.

So at the appointed time at noon, Ningxia made some preparations and arrived at Fuhai Hotel at 25:[-].

At the end of June, the sun scorched the ground with heat.

Fuhai Hotel is located in the center of Kuiying Street. It looks like a two-story building from the outside. The entire floor is inlaid with colorful pearlescent lights and is surrounded by various street shops.

Ningxia stood at the door of the hotel, boredly observing the guests coming in and out.

Business people, family gatherings, and friends gathering for dinner, everyone had smiles on their faces. Ningxia liked this bustling feeling, and she was waiting for Lin Chengtian with a relaxed expression.

Ningxia waited for three minutes before a silver BMW drove in, turned around and stopped right in front of Ningxia.

In front of the door, a waiter wearing a white uniform and a little red hat walked over and greeted warmly:

"Brother Lin, you are here."

Said opening the car door.

The person who got out of the car was Lin Chengtian. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, beige trousers, and gold-rimmed glasses.

Lin Chengtian stepped out of the car and saw Ning Xia waving hello:
"Ningxia, you are so punctual."

Ning Xia said nothing, but the waiter gave Ning Xia a meaningful look and quickly explained:

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry, it turns out she was waiting for Brother Lin. I didn't know this lady was Brother Lin's friend."

Lin Chengtian smiled and handed the key to the waiter:
"Why don't you take us in quickly?"

The waiter looked at Ning Xia calmly and pretended to be embarrassed to lead the way.

Ningxia came to the box and looked around at first glance. The box was very spacious, with a square table leaning against the wall. The tabletop was covered with checkered cloth and a bottle of red wine was placed on the table.

The waiter took out the menu and said politely:

"Brother Lin, please order."

Lin Chengtian handed the menu to Ningxia:

"Ningxia, what do you want to eat?"

Ningxia did not take the menu, but said calmly:
"Manager Lin, please order it for me. Anything except carrots is fine."

"We don't have carrots in the hotel."

The waiter laughed and joked while pretending to be enthusiastic:
"If you have any taboos, ma'am, just tell me."

Ningxia shook her head:
"The simpler the better."

Lin Chengtian raised his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were still shrewd. Ning Xia looked directly at him. Finally, Lin Chengtian took the menu and smiled like a spring breeze.

"Then I'll make the decision. One roast goose and two pastas, just right with this bottle of red wine."

As he said this, Lin Chengtian made a move to ask the waiter to open the wine.

Ningxia immediately stopped him:
"Manager Lin, I agreed to come out. On the one hand, I can't refuse you, and on the other hand, I also want to know your purpose, so I won't drink wine."

"Hey, don't mind. Drink less. We'll find a driver to take us back later."

"No, if Manager Lin insists on doing this, just go to the police station next time."

When the waiter heard this, he quickly glanced at Ningxia in surprise. Lin Chengtian smiled and compromised:
"Okay, then I'll be obedient and not drink. Go ahead and serve the food quickly."

Lin Chengtian waved his hand and the waiter left quickly.

At this time, low music sounded in the room. After the 30-second prelude, Ningxia asked coldly:

"Manager Lin, why do you want to invite me to dinner?"

"Ningxia, are you always so direct? You do look like a criminal policeman. I heard that you represented the bureau in the competition and won No. 1 in the province."

Ning Xia narrowed her eyes slightly and looked directly at Lin Chengtian:
"Ordinarily we met for the first time in the police force last time. I don't think I will leave a deep impression on Manager Lin, so I don't understand Manager Lin's various behaviors very well."

Lin Chengtian kept smiling and suddenly asked:
"Do you like Xu Jie?"

Ningxia's heart skipped a beat.

With a smile on his face, Lin Chengtian put one hand on the edge of the table to reveal the valuable watch on his wrist, and gently raised the gold-rimmed glasses frame with his other hand.

His eyes were shrewd and scrutinizing.

Ningxia suddenly thought of Lin Chengtian as a criminal policeman. His eyes were full of inquiry, which made Ningxia very disgusted.

Instinctively sitting upright, Ningxia stopped all body movements. What information did Lin Chengtian want to get from her?
Ning Xia slowed down her tone without any ups and downs, and stared at Lin Chengtian:
"Captain Xu is the captain and is respected, but it's Manager Lin. Do you hate Captain Xu?"

This question was just like Lin Chengtian's sudden attack on Ningxia. Ningxia clearly saw a flash of surprise in Lin Chengtian's eyes, but he quickly lowered his eyes:
"Look at you, Ningxia, what are you saying? How could you have such thoughts? What made you misunderstand us? Captain Xu and I are good buddies."

Lin Chengtian said several words in quick succession, and Ningxia smiled slightly:
"I guess it has something to do with Manager Lin leaving the criminal investigation team."

Ning Xia leaned forward slightly and saw Lin Chengtian's left hand gently holding the edge of the table:
"Oh my god, Ningxia, I invited you to dinner. Why did the topic turn to Xu Jie? Why blame me? Let's not mention it. Since you are not interested in Xu Jie, then I will continue to send you flowers."

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and brought food in. Ningxia stood up and said:

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying that, Ning Xia stood up, but when she walked out of the door, she didn't see Lin Chengtian take away the smile that had been hanging on her face.
