Qiao Yiyang didn't seem to notice her stiffness. He pulled out the chair for her and asked her to sit down in a gentlemanly manner.
He sat down next to her. Although there was no other distance between the two of them, the distance was not too close and just right so that it would not cause embarrassment or random thoughts.
"Let's order first, let's chat while we eat." He gave her the menu, and Lin Xinlan was not polite. She ordered a few dishes and let him order.
Qiao Yiyang ordered a few delicious dishes and then asked the waiter to serve them.
Lin Xinlan put her arms on the table, lowered her eyes slightly, and didn't say a word. She didn't know what to say to him.
Qiao Yiyang was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed at himself: "Did I cause trouble for you? You obviously don't like me, but I told you my feelings regardless of your wishes, which made it difficult for you."
Lin Xinlan raised her eyes and looked at him, showing a faint smile: "No, you are overthinking it."
"Really?" His eyes were filled with knowledge, and he didn't know if he believed what she said.
"Xinlan, you should know that I'm bankrupt," he said suddenly.
Lin Xinlan was slightly startled and nodded to indicate that she already knew.
He smiled again, his smile was a little bitter, and there was unconcealable tiredness and loneliness in his dark eyes.
"Running a company is not easy and takes a long time. But destroying a company happens overnight, so quickly that people are caught off guard."
"..."
"I already knew that Rong Shaoze would not let me go and would deal with me. I didn't expect that he would act so quickly." He smiled slightly, without any hatred in his words.
"But I don't regret explaining my feelings to you in front of him. Even if I knew that the result would be that my hard work was ruined, I would have said that at the beginning."
Lin Xinlan blinked, and it turned out that it was really Rong Shaoze who did it.
She looked at him and asked tentatively: "Do you think he dealt with you because you like me?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Qiao Yiyang's eyes: "Isn't it? I never conflicted with him in the mall, and I never had any holidays in private. After thinking about it, it was only my confession to you that angered him."
Lin Xinlan touched her arm and asked calmly: "Mr. Qiao, you called me here today, do you want to find out why Rong Shaoze wants to deal with you?"
Qiao Yiyang grinned and admitted generously: "Well, I have this plan. After knowing the reason, I will try to avoid him in the future. After all, I still have to hang out in City B. It will be difficult to offend him, but
This is just one of the purposes. I also really want to treat you to dinner. I haven’t seen you for a long time and want to get together with you.”
Lin Xinlan saw his sincere smile, and the doubt in her heart disappeared immediately.
Maybe Qiao Yiyang didn't do anything to frame them.
"Mr. Qiao, can I..."
"Didn't I tell you to call me by my name? When you called me Mr. Qiao, did you deliberately want to distance yourself from me? It doesn't matter if you don't accept me, we can be friends." Qiao Yiyang said seriously.
After all that was said, it would be too pretentious for her to call him Mr. Qiao.
Lin Xinlan smiled slightly and changed her words: "Qiao Yiyang, can I ask you a question?"
At this time, the food was served, and he motioned to her to talk later.
After the waiter put all the dishes away and left, he smiled and said: "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after eating. By the way, do you want to drink wine or juice?" He couldn't even pretend.
