"I have." He was about to pick her up when she called. Could this be considered a telepathic connection?
The corners of his mouth raised, and his voice became more and more pleasant, "What? You speak hesitantly?"
"I... um, have you eaten?" From the voice and the question, she seemed to be worried about something?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said softly: "No." He was about to pick her up to eat with her.
"As for Jiang Zi, come quickly, I, I'll treat you to dinner today." The voice on the other end seemed to suddenly become happy.
Nan Muli felt uneasy and was slightly startled. His brows suddenly widened. Thinking about it, this was the first time she took the initiative to invite him. Her hesitation just now must be because she was nervous?
The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and his whole person completely changed into a manly charm that was fascinating. The bottom of his heart felt like it was filled with fine wine, sweet and warm, and even... there was some excitement that he couldn't control.
He had never felt happy or relaxed from this moment to the end, but suddenly he felt great joy because of her.
"Mr. Li? Are you listening to me?" Not hearing the response from the other end, Xia Baoer's heart was so nervous that she was about to burst out of her voice. She couldn't help but quivered her lips and called him in confusion.
Hearing her uneasiness, Nan Muli quickly came to his senses and responded slowly: "Well, where are you? I'll go pick you up first."
"Now, I'm here now, you just drive here." She said, and then gave an address.
Writing down the address carefully, his heart was like an arrow and he couldn't wait to go to his destination.
In about ten minutes, he arrived at the place she mentioned.
After parking the car, Nan Muli seemed a little surprised. This was a restaurant full of guests, and the environment was not very big. But looking around, there were all seats occupied, which showed that the business was not as prosperous as usual.
Searching around with a keen eye, he accurately searched for a petite person who stood up from the window on the left. When she saw him, her pretty and sweet little face raised a bright smile towards him, and gently gave him a smile.
Blinking and waving to him.
Looking at her like this in the bustling crowd, his heart felt calm. He raised the corner of his mouth and strode towards her without hesitation.
However, when he approached the seat, thinking that it was just the two of them, Nan Muli discovered that there were two other people sitting in the seat.
He was slightly stunned and realized that those were her parents.
"Hey, Mr. Li, why are you in such a daze?" She smiled sweetly, her shy look that was both resentful and angry made him feel sweet in his heart and he started to smile.
"Oh, come and sit down quickly. It's just in time. The dishes have just been served." Xia's mother on the side greeted him warmly and sat down. The kindness without any barriers made Nan Muli's expression change very slightly.
The life he longed for but could not reach was so far away from him.
His knees suddenly hurt under the table, and he turned his head to see the pretty and cute girl next to him glaring at him displeased.
As soon as he was happy, he reacted and twitched the corners of his mouth to greet them, trying not to let his accustomed indifferent expression be too cold. But strangely, he found that his facial lines were a little stiff.
For some reason, he was used to seeing big scenes and suddenly felt a little nervous. It was all because this bad girl didn't tell him that his parents were also there. How embarrassing.
Sorry? Nan Muli was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to touch his cheek. He was surprised at how he had such a reaction.
The last time he went there was too sudden and he didn't prepare anything. He was a little worried that his personality would make them dislike him.
This time, it was still so sudden.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but because he wasn't used to it, he didn't know what to say.
One of them seemed to have noticed something, and playfully pulled him to sit next to him, smiling cheerfully: "Hey, don't be so sullen. We were originally going out to eat, but these two guys said they haven't seen you properly in a long time.
Let me call you out, you won’t have any important banquet later, right?”
"Well, I'm fine. I'm happy too."
"That's good. We little people are used to being free, so don't worry about it." Mother Xia said with a smile.
She held his hand and sat with him opposite her parents. Xia Baoer was surprised to find that his body was tense and his expression was not natural.
Is he unhappy or something? Is he angry? Doesn’t he like eating with others?
A certain girl was puzzled in her mind and felt unhappy with this idea. She didn't like someone she liked rejecting her parents. However, she didn't show it when the two elders looked at her.
"This place is a bit smaller and cheaper than your usual place, Mr. Nan. But the food here is very authentic home-cooked food. I hope you don't dislike it." Seeing a little clue, Xia's mother smiled gently.
illustrate.
"Go, look at what you said, mother. Isn't it true that he is not a human being? He has no emotions and desires, and he is not really made of gold. How can he come from so many caress?" Seeing that he didn't often deal with situations like this, Xia Baoer quickly answered for him.
.
Last time, her parents said that he didn't like to talk and had a cold personality. She was afraid that if he stayed around, he would behave badly and make them have problems with him.
Nan Muli raised his lips, but before he could make a sound, he was overtaken by someone. The little hand that was placed under the table tightened suggestively.
He couldn't help but glance at her sideways, feeling a little bitter. Was she even worried about a cold and taciturn person like him?
Pulling the corner of his mouth, he said calmly: "Uncle and aunt don't have to be like this. She is right. I am also a human being. How can I be so disgusted with it?"
"Why are you so polite?" Father Xia broke happily.
"Come to our house another day when you are free and try my aunt's cooking."
"Okay." Although he said little, his expression became much gentler.
"Did you meet abroad?"
"Well, yes."
Meeting in a foreign country is so romantic. Mother Xia smiles like a flower.
Unknowingly, they thought things were too wonderful and had no idea what happened to their daughters abroad.
"What are your plans next?" Mother Xia rolled her eyes and asked tentatively.
"Mom, it's time to eat. I'm so hungry." As soon as he heard his mother's words, Xia Baoer knew what she wanted to ask.
She is not an old girl, so why are you so anxious to get her married?
"I hope to marry her." Xia Baoer turned to look at him blankly, a little frightened. Why did he say it so directly? Did he forget that he still had a marriage contract?
Compared to their daughter's astonishment, the two elders were so happy that they couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
"Getting married is a major event in life and requires careful planning. When will you invite your family to come out and have a good discussion?"
Nan Muli's expression suddenly froze and he did not respond for a moment.
Xia Baoer, who was sitting next to him, felt his stiffness and the temperature of her palms dropped. She didn't expect that her mother asked about people's taboos. Just when she wanted to say something to change the subject, the man next to her spoke, "I am the only one
.”
Father Xia and Mother Xia were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously regretted: "Mr. Nan, you are an orphan..."
"Shut up!" Some dissatisfied parents asked. It would be better if you just know this kind of thing in your heart. Why do you have to say it to hurt others? She could feel his hands getting colder and colder, and his face getting darker and colder.
The blackness hidden in the depths of his eyes also settled down little by little.
She suddenly felt sorry for this man, who was in such a bad situation. Perhaps only by being deliberately indifferent and cruel to herself and others could she not suffocate herself.
Sensing the suggestive look in his daughter's eyes, the second elder hurriedly said apologetically: "Mr. Nan, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Nan Muli's tone was a little stiff.
"I heard that Mr. Nan works in a big company?" Xia's mother asked in a low voice.
It doesn't matter if you don't have family, the most important thing is to find out the other person's attitude and a stable job. This must be checked well to ensure that your daughter won't have to suffer after she gets married.
As a parent, this may be selfish, but it must not be negligent.
"That's my own company."
"Where did you come from to start your own business?" Not bad, good and hardworking.
"Yanri Group."
Now the second elder stared at him in surprise. "Are you the CEO of Yanri?"
"yes."
Xia's father likes to read the Economic Times, and he has seen Yanri Group on TV and in newspapers. He heard that this is a listed company, but he didn't expect that the president is so young. What's more, what shocked them even more was the young and wealthy president.
Still their daughter's...boyfriend!
They weren't dreaming, were they? Or did they hear wrongly?
Looking at her parents' reaction, Xia Baoer was a little confused. She was already several decades old and had experienced everything she had to go through. Why did she look so surprised?
"Stop asking questions. Why are you asking these questions when you go out to eat?"
"Haha, no need to ask, we are just surprised that Mr. Nan became the president at such a young age."
Pulling his lips and smiling, Nan Muli remained restrained and modest, with no trace of pride or complacency on his face.
Rich people are all superior, and his humble attitude made the two elders even more satisfied.
"That……"
"If you don't eat it, the food will be cold." She interrupted her parents' questions angrily, and she felt embarrassed as they kept going on and on.
"That's right, come on, let's eat first and chat while eating."
Finally breathing a sigh of relief, Xia Baoer secretly glanced at the man next to her. Seeing that his serious and cautious expression was slightly relaxed, she couldn't help but feel funny.
Doesn't the man who is always calm and composed doesn't care about anything? Why is he so nervous now, as if he was facing an examiner?
Fortunately, after a while, I heard Mother Xia ask again. "When do you plan to decide?"
"We have only been dating for a short time, so it is too early to say this." Someone rudely killed the mother's idea.
"With a stable relationship, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later." Xia's mother said quickly, completely disdainful of her daughter's thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Nan Muli nodded.
He had already made this plan, but she had been finding various reasons to shirk it and avoid talking about it. Now that her parents were backing her, it was even more urgent.
"At our age, we are all enjoying having grandchildren."
"Mommy! I'm not even 19 years old, what nonsense are you talking about..." Thinking about having a grandchild before even writing her horoscope is too fast. She doesn't want it.
"What's wrong with having children after marriage? Isn't it popular now to have hot moms and handsome dads? Didn't you see where the father who was as popular as a steamer some time ago is going? How happy is he?" The two elders simply ignored their daughter and started talking.
.
"I don't mind having a child after marriage." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but Nan Muli dealt with it calmly.
Xia Baoer almost wants to flip the table. Let’s not talk about marriage. She and he are not even close to each other, right? Are they talking about marriage? Speechless——
Nan Muli was not good at talking about such topics, so his tone gradually became a little unnatural. But it came from the heart.
She values her family very much and he doesn't want to make her unhappy.
A smile broke out on the second elder's face, and he was very satisfied with his future son-in-law.
Staring at them, Xia Baoer felt really powerless.
Is there any mistake, she is also a party involved!
Why did they end up on the same side, ignore her opinions and protests, and directly discuss life after marriage?
Doesn’t he know how to speak? How did he gain favor so quickly?
It seemed that her worries were unnecessary, and she was also unnecessary. She was unbalanced and immersed herself in eating, completely ignored.
The dinner was a pleasant one, and Nan Muli seemed to be gradually getting used to it, and his conversations with them were smooth.
This made someone who was left out of the matter feel fermented and sour somewhere in his heart. He resented and loved her at the same time. It was really contradictory.
After eating, they were not in a hurry to go home. It was rare for a family to come out, so they accompanied the two elders for a walk in the central square.
"Actually, you can go back first." Sitting next to the flower garden, she looked sideways at him and spoke softly.
Without thinking, he frowned and said in a cold tone: "You don't need me so much?"
What an injustice! She was very innocent: "Don't you still have to work?"
"It doesn't matter." He said nonchalantly.
Since he has said so, let him go. This sensitive and suspicious man really can't do anything to him. Hold his hand and pull him to sit next to you.
His eyes turned to the people swaying to the melody of the music. This was completely different from the pictures he saw in the world, but it was very reassuring and peaceful.
Xia Baoer curled her lips and rested her head on his shoulder: "They seem to like you very much."
He was silent and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Will we really get married?"
Nan Muli frowned, looked at her in a low voice and asked, "Don't you want to?"
"You should find someone who is a good match." She said calmly, half-truthfully.
He licked his lips and didn't speak for a while, and silence spread between the two of them.
Xia Baoer felt strange and raised her head to look at him. What she didn't expect was the shocking indifference on his expression. His eyes were looking at her with deep anger, which was a silent accusation and accusation.
She was stunned, and suddenly remembered his engagement with Lan Xinrou, and her heart felt like it was being stabbed, with sharp and painful stabs.
Her silence, his reticence and anger.
The tall body stood up abruptly. He pursed his lips and turned away with a cold face.
He is angry -
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Xia Baoer felt very uneasy. She hurriedly got up and followed him, timidly holding his arm, but he still did not stop.
"Are you angry?" she asked as she followed his footsteps.
silence……
"I was just talking casually." She smiled flatteringly. How could the man have such a bad temper? He just said something casually. Do you deserve to be angry?
She didn't even care about why he was angry.
Seeing him so silent, her heart felt sour.
