After kicking out my ex-husband, his brother and I got back together.

Chapter 11 Is what your ex-husband said true?

Duan Xiaowu didn't want to eat at first, after all, it was too late now.

But as soon as Chang Rong invited her, her stomach made a loud noise.

There were too many things going on today, so she only took a few breaks before the wedding banquet started at noon.

As soon as the tender yellow beef is cooked, the aroma of the food immediately hits your nostrils.It's mouth-watering.

Duan Xiaowu suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh! The soup Aunt Zhang brought me is still in the car!"

Being so disturbed by Cheng Jiujia and her son, she completely forgot about it.

Chang Rong, who was leaning aside to watch her hot dishes, let out an almost inaudible sigh after hearing this.

"How on earth did you manage to secure the position of president of the Duan family?"

Duan Xiaowu was a little embarrassed, "I've been a little forgetful lately, but my brain is used for making decisions, and I don't need to remember unimportant things so clearly."

Hearing this, Chang Rong's pupils suddenly shrank.

He even wondered if Duan Xiaowu was hinting at something.The stinky face that had softened slightly immediately became clouded again.

The man turned around and exited the kitchen without saying a word.

Duan Xiaowu didn't know why and turned to look at his leaving figure.Feeling strange.

Why are you so angry all of a sudden?I probably didn’t say anything outrageous!

After being puzzled for a long time, Mr. Duan, who had always been slow to respond to emotions, finally had to attribute everything to Master Chang's own bad temper.

In the end, Duan Xiaowu went to the garage to retrieve the soup box.

The two of them sat down at the dining table in silence and started this awkward midnight snack.

Aunt Zhang filled it for her in a thermos bucket, and the soup was still warm when she opened it.Although the atmosphere was a bit weird, Duan Xiaowu politely served Chang Rong a bowl before starting to eat by himself.

Although Chang Rong always had a bad look on his face, Haolai did not refuse to enjoy the delicious food.

His chopstick gestures were really awkward, and he couldn't even pick up a matsutake mushroom in the soup bowl for a long time.

Not sure what she thought of, Duan Xiaowu burst out laughing.

"Why are you still like this? Those who don't know better would think that you have eaten too much Western food and have forgotten your roots and don't know how to use chopsticks!"

The man sitting opposite raised his head and glanced at her, with a rare reddish tint at the tip of his ears.

When he was a child, his parents were too busy working.He was cared for by different nannies almost from birth.

In order to save trouble, the nannies still chose to feed him when he was old enough to learn to use chopsticks.And faced with his repeated protests, he chose to ignore them.

The young Chang Rong had to work hard to imitate others and practice secretly, which also made his posture of holding chopsticks wrong from the beginning.

So it will be a little difficult for him to pick up some smooth food.

This wrong habit of his lasted until middle school, when the girl Duan Xiaowu discovered it.

In fact, Chang Rong has been trying to correct it since he knew there was something wrong with the way he holds chopsticks.Such an embarrassment rarely happened again.

But he has been staying in Europe for the past few years, and it is inevitable that he has neglected to practice.

Perhaps it was this shared memory that narrowed the distance between the two, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was finally no longer so stiff.

Duan Xiaowu steadily picked up a matsutake in her bowl and sent it to Chang Rong's chopsticks across the dining table.

"Eat it, Aunt Zhang's craftsmanship is pretty good."

Chang Rong put the matsutake into his mouth and after chewing and swallowing, he answered in a muffled voice.

"I know."

The two of them were relatively speechless, and most of the food on the table was quickly wiped out.

Duan Xiaowu regretted a little after eating, "I shouldn't have eaten so much. If I eat so full so late, I will not only gain weight easily but it will also be bad for my spleen and stomach."

Chang Rong finished the last bite of food in the bowl, and then laughed at her coolly.

"Is it because you want to stay in shape so you can look good in a wedding dress?"

Duan Xiaowu: "..."

You are a master of sarcasm.

After the meal, Duan Xiaowu chose to wash the dishes by herself out of respect for Party A's father.

Chang Rong was also happy to see her please herself.

He poured himself a glass of water and leaned against the kitchen counter, watching her unfamiliarly playing with the dishwasher in front of her.Suddenly, he spoke suddenly.

"Is what your ex-husband said true?"

Duan Xiaowu was trying hard to find the place to pour the dishwashing liquid. Hearing this, she turned her head and looked at him.

"what you mean?"

"You need a marriage to stabilize your position in the Duan family." Chang Rong leaned over and pressed a switch with his long finger, and the small box for detergent immediately popped out.

Duan Xiaowu raised his eyebrows and said suddenly: "Thank you! This is my first time using this thing."

After thinking about his previous question, she continued, "Yes, that's not right either!"

"I do need a marriage, but not for the position of president of the Duan family."

Duan Xiaowu stopped talking and didn't reveal more to him.

The topic has been brought here, and Duan Xiaowu suddenly became extremely alert due to his professional sensitivity.

But this time, she chose a smarter way to ask.

"I heard that you entered the GMT Research Institute after graduating with a master's degree. So when you return to China this time, is it a vacation or a business trip?"

The two people's eyes met, and there was an extra layer of otherness in their eyes.

Chang Rong knew her purpose very well, but this time, he answered her simply.

"take a vacation."

The unexpected answer inevitably made Duan Xiaowu a little disappointed.But she was never one to give up easily when it came to her career.

Duan Xiaowu continued to pursue, "What about your colleagues? They should be here to inspect the Chinese market."

"Ha!" The man sneered casually, not hiding his ridicule for her, "I believe now that you don't need marriage to stabilize your status."

After saying that, he put down the water glass, turned around and walked straight out of the restaurant.

"I'm sleepy! Mr. Duan, where should I sleep tonight?"

Duan Xiaowu was stunned for half a second, and then realized that she had been tricked by him again.

He was so angry that he immediately clenched his fist.

What nonsense!This time is dinner time in East District [-].He just returned to the East Eighth District today, and he is a ghost if he is sleepy!
Although this man was very cunning, he still gave her a very useful piece of information.

——He does work in the GMT laboratory.

Then, even if he is not Mr. X in the end, you can still contact GMT through him.

When things made new progress, Duan Xiaowu immediately called Anna.

Although it was close to 1 o'clock in the morning, Anna picked up the phone after it rang twice.

"BOSS, I'm here." It was obvious that he had become accustomed to it.

Duan Xiaowu immediately issued a new work order, "Notify Yuna from the Public Relations Department to secure an opportunity to meet with GMT's Chinese mission staff."

Before Anna could react, she heard Duan Xiaowu explain.

"They are the group of foreigners we met at the airport today. I have already sent the commercial license plate numbers for picking them up on your mobile phone. You don't need me to explain the rest, right?"

Ana pulled off the mask on her face and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Then she took her phone away, and sure enough she received a license plate number on WeChat.

Her admiration for her boss couldn't help but deepen, and she sincerely praised her.

"Boss, you are so awesome! I remembered the license plate number of that car with just one glance. Especially at that time, we were not sure that they were from GMT."

Duan Xiaowu accepted the assistant's rainbow fart and added a kind words at the end.

"Yeah. Oh, by the way, it's too late now. Let's call Yuna early tomorrow morning."

Anna: "Oh..." The filter that I just put on shattered all over the floor with a snap.

——You are so considerate of your colleagues in the public relations department, why can't you be considerate of me, your senior assistant.

Ana hung up the phone and clicked on a new gossip video with tears in her eyes.
