Bow to tempt the peach

Chapter 33 I’m afraid you’ll let me go again

The white car was speeding through the dark night, the street lights on both sides of the road flashed rapidly from the window, and the light inside the car was vaguely visible.

After getting in the car, Xu Youtao didn't take the initiative to communicate with Cheng Qi. She only chatted with Lu Chenyan on her mobile phone, sometimes curling her lips and smiling, sometimes frowning, her expression much more lively than when she was eating at Cheng's house.

She didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and all her reactions were seen by Cheng Qi who was driving.

"Xiao Tao." Cheng Qi was the first to break the silence.

The man said with a smile and a joking tone, "Are you in love?"

in love?

Xu Youtao quickly broke away from her relaxed state. She was confused for a moment, then shook her head in denial, "No."

Cheng Qi shook his head, thinking that Xu Youtao was embarrassed to admit it because of his face, and said very openly: "It's normal to fall in love, as long as the other person has a good outlook on life and treats you well."

"Of course, if you are willing, you can let me check it for you."

After a pause, he laughed again, "Could it be the one I saw yesterday?"

"He doesn't seem like a good-natured person."

Xu Youtao:? ? ?

What is this all about?

And...she clenched her phone unnaturally, why did Lu Chenyan suddenly get tired of it?

There was clearly only a purely monetary employment relationship between her and him.

"I'm not in love." She said with a serious face, "I'm too busy with work and don't have time."

"I was chatting with Zhou Yao just now." She lied without changing her face.

Cheng Qi smiled, and the gentle laughter echoed in the carriage.

"You can't put all your focus on work."

"Maybe it would be good to fall in love."

"What type of boys do you like? I can see if any of my friends are suitable."

He sincerely regarded Xu Youtao as his sister. If possible, he would of course want to check the boyfriend for her to prevent her from meeting someone unkind.

However, Xu Youtao refused, "I really have no thoughts of falling in love recently."

To be able to be friends with Cheng Qi, his family background must be similar to his, which is beyond her reach.

If she really wanted to fall in love... At this moment, Lu Chenyan's face appeared in front of Xu Youtao's eyes for no apparent reason.

She shook her head quickly to dispel the unrealistic thoughts in her mind. Forget it, making money was the most important thing.

She had the idea of ​​​​leading Lu Chenyan to the right path, but she was absolutely unwilling to involve herself in it.

Just because of the other person's face and his unstable personality, she didn't deserve it.

The car moved forward, passing by the neon lights of the city.

Cheng Qi noticed the resistance in Xu Youtao's words, and immediately changed the topic considerately and talked about her work.

Xu Youtao's answer was much more positive.

On the other side, Lu Chenyan, who was having a good chat but was suddenly left out, was unhappy.

He fiddled with his phone expressionlessly, with a sneer appearing on his handsome face from time to time.

Very good, Xu Youtao didn't reply to messages again.

He had already arrived at the mall where he ate hot pot, and the black Mercedes-Benz he had specially changed into was parked quietly in the garage of the mall.

There were only two people in the carriage, Lu Chenyan and the driver, and his sinister and sneering look at the moment was indeed a big challenge for the driver.

The driver wished he could disappear into this space immediately.

Fortunately, Lu Chenyan's appearance did not last long, because Xu Youtao sent another message.

Xu Youtao: [I'm almost there. 】

He replied coldly with a hmm, then raised his head and glanced at the driver, "You go first, I'll drive back by myself."

The driver felt that he was not far from losing his job, so he said tremblingly: "Boss..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, he was interrupted by a cold look from Lu Chenyan.

The driver got out of the car neatly and left.
-
At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Youtao took the mall elevator to the floor where the hot pot restaurant was located.The lights in the mall are brightly lit, and the flow of people is still considerable. It seems that everyone's nightlife has just begun.

About ten meters away from the hot pot restaurant, Xu Youtao saw Lu Chenyan sitting alone in the waiting area.

He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. He had a cold face and exuded an aura that was not easy to mess with. He didn't look like he was here for dinner, but rather like he was here to cause trouble.

Xu Youtao walked this way briskly, thinking slanderously that if his face hadn't been so handsome and noble, the waiters at the hot pot restaurant would have been forced to chase him away.

"Why don't you go in and wait?" When Lu Chenyan raised his eyes to look at her, Xu Youtao spoke first.

He was tall, and he felt a bit suffocated while sitting on a round plastic chair for customers to rest in line.

She subconsciously wanted to laugh and looked away.

Lu Chenyan stood up, his indifference faded, and his whole body was filled with a sense of undisciplined laziness, "I'm afraid you'll let me go again."

"Then I'm not allowed to spend my own money?"

Xu Youtao:......

He is a good person, but he has a mouth that deserves a beating.

She glared at him, "Let's go."

Lu Chenyan raised the corners of his lips and followed her.

The business of this hot pot restaurant is very good. Even though it's past meal time, there are still other customers queuing up in the waiting area, waiting to be called.

As early as Lu Chenyan appeared alone, he attracted the attention of others.

After Xu Youtao came over, she and Lu Chenyan stood together, and the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was even more eye-catching.

There were many people peeking at them, including the waiter at the door of the hotpot restaurant who called the number.

"Hello." Xu Youtao handed the phone screen to the waiter, "I made an appointment online in advance."

The waiter with a surprised look on his face came back to his senses and glanced at the screen, "Are you two?"

Xu Youtao nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, please come inside."

Xu Youtao and Lu Chenyan followed the waiter into the hot pot restaurant, only to remember the whispers outside.

"Sure enough, all the handsome guys belong to beautiful women."

"Oh, oh, I'm in love, and I'm out of love again."

"I really cried to death. Nuwa was too partial when pinching her face."

……

There is a completely opposite lively atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant, and even the air is filled with an alluring aroma of hot pot.

The boiling sound of hot pot, the chatter of customers, and the sound of music in the store are intertwined to form a picture full of fireworks.

Xu Youtao and Lu Chenyan walked through most of the store and sat down at a small table for two.

There is a partition decorated with vine branches in the middle of each dining table, forming semi-hidden spaces.

Lu Chenyan looked around, barely satisfied.

Xu Youtao was ordering food on her mobile phone. She ordered what she wanted to eat first, then looked up at Lu Chenyan, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Lu Chenyan raised his eyebrows, "No, I won't."

"Oh, can you eat spicy food?"

"can."

Five minutes later, Lu Chenyan fell silent while looking at the red peppers that almost filled half of the mandarin duck pot.

Ten minutes later, he pointed to the plates in front of Xu Youtao.

"What are those?"

Xu Youtao said in a cheerful tone, "Duck intestines, duck blood, pig brains, and chicken hearts."

"Don't you have taboos?" she asked, with a sly look in her eyes.
