Xiao Zichen suddenly stood up, walked over, and hugged Mo Yurou from behind, with a hint of apology in his voice.
"Yurou, I swear, I will spend the rest of my life making up for you."
Mo Yurou was startled for a moment, then smiled faintly, let go of Xiao Zichen's hand, and turned to look at him with an indifferent expression.
"What I want is never compensation."
"I understand, Yurou, I love you, I love you very much, and I hope to grow old together with you."
Xiao Zichen's sudden confession made Mo Yurou a little panicked. In the past, she always liked to tell Xiao Zichen how much she loved him in the most direct way.
But now, when she heard Xiao Zichen say these three words to herself, she couldn't open her mouth. Compared with the three pale words, Mo Yurou hoped to see these three words in every bit of life.
Finally, Mo Yurou leaned on Xiao Zichen and said softly.
"Then let's work hard in this direction!"
Although he didn't hear the three words he wanted to hear, Mo Yurou's words also made Xiao Zichen feel more at ease. At least Mo Yurou no longer felt alienated from him.
At six o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou arrived at Biluoxuan. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Luo Mingxuan getting out of a car not far away. Apparently, he had been waiting here for a long time.
"You two busy people, you are absolutely perfect."
Luo Mingxuan looked at his watch, said that, and walked towards Xiao Zichen and the others.
"I've never seen you so proactive, but you're so punctual today."
Xiao Zichen also looked at his watch and joked to Luo Mingxuan.
Luo Mingxuan smiled slightly and replied.
"Isn't this a treat for you, Mr. Xiao? Remember the last time you paid for it, it seemed like half a year ago! It's a rare opportunity!"
When Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou heard Luo Mingxuan's words, they looked at each other and smiled. Obviously, Luo Mingxuan didn't know who was inviting guests to dinner tonight.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
Seeing the strange expression on Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen's face, Luo Mingxuan's heart trembled slightly. He knew there was something wrong with today's dinner.
At this time, Xiao Zichen walked over, patted Luo Mingxuan's shoulder, then took Mo Yurou's hand and walked toward the hotel door, saying as he walked.
"You're not laughing. Let's go. Don't keep everyone waiting too long."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mingxuan hurriedly caught up and asked.
"You invited others?"
Mo Yurou nodded meaningfully and said mysteriously.
"You'll know when you get up there."
After saying that, the three of them walked into the lobby of Biluoxuan. Mo Yurou reported the name of the private room, and the waiter led the three of them to the elevator.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet. Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner for no reason?"
Luo Mingxuan was really curious. After all, he had known Xiao Zichen for so many years, but he had never invited him to dinner. Many times it was clearly Xiao Zichen's fault, but in the end it was someone else who paid the bill. In short, it was really a shame to have Xiao Zichen pay.
too difficult.
Xiao Zichen smiled faintly and said with a sly expression.
"What, you're not happy to treat you to dinner?"
"No, I'm just asking out of curiosity, but you really don't have any plot against me, do you?"
Luo Mingxuan looked at the evil smiling expressions on Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou's faces. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were perplexing. If he asked the truth, was it too late to leave now?
"Okay, it's just a meal. Why are you thinking so darkly? I won't go in later and will even chase you away."
Xiao Zichen glanced at Luo Mingxuan with disdain, seeing his suspicious look, thanks to his painstaking arrangements.
When Luo Mingxuan heard this, although his face was puzzled, his heart was also full of curiosity.
In the box, three people have come. Zhao Keer is sitting in the middle, Fu Yusheng is sitting on the left, and Zhuang Junze is sitting on the right. However, the atmosphere does not seem to be very lively. Zhuang Junze and Fu Yusheng are obviously not very familiar.
The box door opened and Mo Yurou was the first to walk in, followed by Xiao Zichen and Luo Mingxuan at the end.
"Let me see, you invited me today..."
Before the last word was uttered, Luo Mingxuan stood quietly at the door, looking at the woman in the box with a trace of surprise on his face.
Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen said nothing, looked at each other with a smile, and walked in. However, when Xiao Zichen saw Zhuang Junze, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he nodded politely.
Zhao Keer originally smiled when he saw Mo Yurou appear, but when he saw Luo Mingxuan appear at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of disgust.
"Why is he here?"
When Luo Mingxuan heard this, his expression changed and he replied.
"Miss Zhao, what you said is really interesting. Zi Chen is treating us, why can't I come?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Luo Mingxuan, while Xiao Zichen smiled awkwardly.
At this time, Zhao Keer looked at Xiao Zichen and asked.
"Mr. Xiao, did you tell Mr. Luo that this meal was your treat?"
Xiao Zichen immediately waved his hands and defended.
"I didn't. You all listened when I called last night. I just said I would have dinner at Biluoxuan tonight and asked him if he wanted to come with me."
Xiao Zichen didn't say a word nonsense, and Zhao Keer and Mo Yurou were indeed present when they called last night.
This time, it was Luo Mingxuan's turn to look confused, looked at Xiao Zichen, and asked.
"Isn't it the dinner party organized by you?"
"Of course not. Today, Cole invited us to dinner to celebrate her becoming a doctor at Heng Seng Hospital."
At this time, Mo Yurou stood up and explained for Xiao Zichen.
At this time, an awkward smile flashed across Luo Mingxuan's face, and then he glared at Xiao Zichen with a look of resentment, then smiled coquettishly and looked at Zhao Ke'er.
Zhao Keer curled his lips in disdain, and then said with a look of disgust.
"Mr. Luo, today's dinner has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao, so you'd better invite us back!"
When Zhao Keer said this, Luo Mingxuan originally planned to leave, but now he was determined to stay for this meal.
No, Luo Mingxuan directly passed Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou, walked to the empty seat next to Fu Yusheng and sat down, then crossed his legs and said.
"I don't."
This was simply a rogue act, and everyone present was shocked, especially Xiao Zichen and Fu Yusheng, who were very familiar with Luo Mingxuan. They had never seen anything like this.
Zhao Keer was even more shocked, wondering why this guy has become so shameless after a new year.
Zhao Keer walked over directly and said with a look of disgust.
"Mr. Zhao, this is my private banquet today. You, an outsider, came uninvited. Aren't you afraid of losing face if you tell me?"
Luo Mingxuan frowned slightly when he heard the word outsider, and then asked with a provocative look.
"Outsiders? Miss Zhao, do you need me to remind you?"
There is definitely too much information in this statement. No, everyone present showed the curiosity of a melon-eating crowd and looked at Luo Mingxuan.
Zhao Keer was stunned, a trace of nervousness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said hurriedly.
"Forget it, why don't you just open your mouth more? It's not like you can't afford to ask."
With that said, Zhao Keer sat down, thinking that the matter was over, but Fu Yusheng on the side asked with a gossipy face.
"Mingxuan, what did you mean just now? Is it possible that you and Cole knew each other before?"
Obviously, Fu Yusheng did not understand anything, but wanted to find out.
As soon as Luo Mingxuan heard this, he immediately showed a full expression and said.
"It's easy to talk, Miss Zhao and I..."
"Brother Yusheng, Luo City is so big, of course Mr. Luo and I know each other."
Zhao Ke'er was flustered for a moment, interrupted Luo Mingxuan's words, and then said to the waiter in a hurry.
"Waiter, it's time to serve."
After saying that, he breathed secretly, unable to hide the guilty expression on his face. Everyone present suddenly understood, but they were all full of curiosity about the relationship between Luo Mingxuan and Zhao Keer.
At this time, Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen also sat down. As soon as they sat down, they heard Fu Yusheng say something.
"Yurou, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
In fact, Fu Yusheng just wanted to find something to talk about. Looking at Mo Yurou's cheerful look now, and looking at Xiao Zichen's meticulous care at the side, the answer is self-evident.
Mo Yurou smiled slightly at Fu Yusheng. For some reason, there seemed to be an extra layer of estrangement between her and Fu Yusheng during this meeting.
"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."
After saying that, Mo Yurou raised her head and nodded to Zhuang Junze beside her as a greeting.
"Mr. Zhuang, we meet again. When did you return to Luo City?"
Xiao Zichen has always had reservations about Zhuang Junze. He always felt that this man was not as gentle and easy-going as he seemed on the surface. He always felt that there was something hidden behind that smiling face that he could not see through.
Zhuang Junze did not expect that Xiao Zichen was the first to greet him, raised his glass, and replied lightly.
"Mr. Xiao seems to be very interested in my itinerary?"
The other party's attitude was not very friendly and full of defensiveness, and the conversation between the two people also attracted everyone's attention, and everyone could feel the dark fire.
Xiao Zichen also raised his wine glass at this time, smiled lightly, and said in a relaxed tone.
"Of course, after all, it seems that Sifu Real Estate is the biggest competitor in whether Sino-Ocean can successfully win the Yucheng tourism project. Is it true that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger?"
"How is this going?"
Luo Mingxuan heard some sparks and asked Mo Yurou softly.
However, Mo Yurou did not answer, but looked at Zhuang Junze and Xiao Zichen and said.
"It's a private gathering, no official business will be discussed. It's rare that Cole invites us to dinner. We are not allowed to talk about work today."
One was her boyfriend and the other could be considered a friend. Mo Yurou didn't want the two of them to ruin Zhao Keer's dinner.
After that, Xiao Zichen and Zhuang Junze were very cooperative. No one mentioned the Yucheng tourism project again, but the atmosphere in the box was really weird.
Xiao Zichen spent the entire dinner helping Mo Yurou pick up the dishes, while Mo Yurou only focused on chatting with Zhao Keer, and occasionally had a few words with other people.
