It wasn't until he entered the box that Ning Chengxu let go of Mavis's wrist, made an invitation gesture to her, and motioned for her to sit down.
Mavis covered the place where Ning Chengxu had just grabbed her, feeling a little disappointed, and sat down on the dining chair next to her.
Ning Chengxu put Nian Nian on the seat next to him and started talking seriously, "Last time you said you wanted to go on a blind date, how was it going?"
Mavis shook her head, "Not yet, I refuse."
"Why refuse?" Ning Chengxu was puzzled.
She lowered her gloomy eyes, "Originally I wanted to go back to my hometown to settle down, but after calming down and thinking about it, I felt that no one in my hometown was waiting for me, or cared about whether I could go back or not. There was no point in going back. I stayed in China.
After more than four years here, I feel a little reluctant to leave this place and want to think about it for a few more days."
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ning and..." She paused, a little embarrassed, "If the blind date between you and Miss Yun is unpleasant because of me, I will feel very guilty. I want to express my sincere gratitude to you."
Apologize."
Ning Chengxu: "My blind date with her has ended. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel any burden. Even if you don't show up, I don't plan to stay there anymore. And I made it very clear to Yun Qing just now.
No more contact from now on."
"Then...what kind of girl does Mr. Ning want to find?"
Ning Chengxu was silent and did not answer the question, but said: "Since you are not considering returning to a foreign country for a short time, then finance, food and accommodation are all problems. If you want, you can always return to the aquarium and continue to work as a manager.
Staff, these days when you are not at work, I will treat it as annual leave for you, and your salary will be calculated as usual."
Mavis clenched her apron tightly with both hands, stirring the fabric around the apron again and again with her fingers.
"From a work perspective, Mr. Ning is a really good boss, approachable and rare." She paused, her eyes dim, "But, I don't need it."
Ning Chengxu originally took special care of Niannian because she saved her life a few years ago.
Unexpectedly, she would rather work as a temporary waiter in a high-end hotel than return to the aquarium to continue working as a manager.
why is that?
Ning Chengxu: "I remember you said before that you came to China to find someone. How was your search?"
Mavis laughed at herself, "I found him a long time ago, but he has long forgotten me, and his current height is no longer what I first saw him, let alone what I can covet."
She lowered her head, not looking at Ning Chengxu, and murmured to herself in a low voice:
"He has been on a blind date recently. Judging from his blind date's attitude towards him, he seems to like him quite a bit. He is good-looking and must have a good rapport with the opposite sex. I'm afraid..." No chance.
Wringing the waiter's apron with her fingers, she said gloomily: "I have thought it through clearly. After I get the last month's salary from the aquarium in a few days, I will leave China and go back to Tubao Port for a blind date and settle down."
Ning Chengxu's jawline was slightly stiff, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Port of Tuburg...
He couldn't remember whether he had seen Mavis before, but he was sure he had been to Tuborg Harbor before.
It was a country with a very backward culture, and riots and small-scale wars often broke out. He once worked as a teacher in a small mountainous area of that country for a period of time.
Ning Chengxu's brows tightened as memories came back to him.
Thinking back to Mavis' words just now, her expression every time she mentioned she was looking for someone, and the familiarity he felt towards her when he saw her for the first time...
Ning Chengxu had a guess.
Not only did he guess it, but Nian Nian also saw signs of something unusual.
Nian Nian: "Sister Mei, the person you are looking for could be my godfather, right?"
