Xi Wanlai helped her arrange the dishes enthusiastically. When the dessert was served, Pei Xiao took a bite casually, then suddenly pushed the plate away, covered his face and stood up: "I'm sorry, where is the bathroom?"
Xi Wanlai looked at her dumbfounded and pointed inward.
After a while, she returned to the dining table. There were obvious traces of cold water washing on her face, and there was a strange blush on her cheeks.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She lowered her head and sat down: "Sorry, I forgot that I am allergic to almonds..."
It turns out that there is an almond tofu dish in the dessert.
Xi Xiangdong glanced at her calmly and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard that someone is allergic to almonds."
Pei Xiao looked at him blankly. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip gracefully and freely. It was perfect no matter from any angle, which made her feel flustered.
Xi Wanlai was taking a napkin to wipe her hands for her, and suddenly he was stunned. He did remember a person who was also allergic to almonds...
Pei Xiao was thinking about how to apologize to Xi Xiangdong later, and his eyes secretly fell on the man who was eating.
Xi Xiangdong's senses were very keen. Almost immediately, he raised his head and met her distant gaze.
Pei Xiao was startled and lowered his head in panic, not wanting to knock the fork off the plate and drop it on the floor.
Pei Xiao knocked on his forehead in shame and annoyance. This casual and childish little move fell in Xi Xiangdong's eyes, and the corners of his usually cold lips also curved slightly.
Two things...
From this angle, you can just see her slender chin, and her side face is blocked by her slightly hanging hair. Her facial features are somewhat similar to Yang Yunguang's, but her face appears smaller and her temperament is completely different.
He inadvertently glanced at Xi Wanlai next to him, but found that he had not noticed what was happening here at all, as if he was in a trance, thinking about something.
After the meal, Pei Xiao refused Xi Wan's offer to see her off and followed Xi Xiangdong to the elevator.
"Mr. Xi, please listen to my explanation..."
He looked down at his watch and said very coldly: "I have a meeting in ten minutes."
Pei Xiao was startled, and immediately understood what he meant, and said straight to the point: "I'm really sorry for what happened before. It was my lack of consideration that caused inconvenience to your life... I hope that Mr. Xi, your Excellency, will have a lot of
Let us go this time..."
He put his hands in his pockets and leaned casually against the wall in the elevator. His voice was also casual: "Did anything happen before?"
He is deliberately making things difficult...
"I shouldn't have... signed a contract with another company without saying hello, and I didn't thank Mr. Xi properly when I moved out... Last time, I troubled Mr. Xi when I was drunk... Anyway, I'm sorry." Pei Xiao guessed at his
I mean, my head is lowered.
At this time, the elevator arrived, he strode past her, and his low voice came to her ears.
"It seems that you still don't know where you went wrong."
"..." Pei Xiao looked at his back, feeling speechless.
While preparing materials for the meeting, Lin Xiangyuan frequently moved his head to the window and opened the blinds.
Xi Xiangdong tapped the table with his fingers. Lin Xiangyuan hesitated and said, "Miss Pei has been downstairs and has not left."
Xi Xiangdong glanced in the direction of the window, and Lin Xiangyuan said: "It's raining outside, very hard."
He frowned slightly: "So what?"
Lin Xiangyuan had no choice but to keep silent. He stood up and walked past the window, saying indifferently: "Get ready for the meeting."
