Qiao Liang entered the a la carte restaurant. Ye Xinyi had already ordered four dishes and they were all served.
Qiao Liang sat down and looked at the dishes and praised: "Well, it's not bad. The dishes ordered by Minister Ye are very suitable to my taste. We can have a good meal."
Ye Xinyi chuckled: "Have you finished watching The Bride?"
"Yeah." Qiao Liang said while eating.
"Isn't the bride beautiful?"
"She is as beautiful as a flower." Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi and paused, then said, "But not as beautiful as you."
"Poor mouth." Ye Xinyi snorted again, feeling very satisfied, and then started to eat.
"Minister Ye, to be honest, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life." Qiao Liang said again.
"Glib tongue, isn't the one in your family beautiful?"
"Beautiful, but what I'm talking about is beauty. It's not just about appearance, but more importantly, what's inside." Qiao Liang said seriously.
Ye Xinyi was slightly startled. Qiao Liang seemed to have something in his words, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhang Mei.
At this time, Ye Xinyi's cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and saw the call, then she frowned, hesitated, stood up, took her cell phone and went out to answer the call.
Qiao Liang blinked, why should Ye Xinyi avoid calling him?
I couldn't think of anything at the moment, so I continued eating.
Ye Xinyi came back after a long time, looking sleepy but relieved, and then sat down to continue eating.
After eating, the two of them got in the car and continued on their way.
On the way, Ye Xinyi continued to meditate with a confused but relaxed expression.
"Minister Ye, did you encounter something unexpected but happy at the same time?" Qiao Liang asked as he drove.
Ye Xinyi nodded subconsciously.
"Do you want to tell me and share it?" Qiao Liang said with a smile.
Ye Xinyi hesitated for a moment.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, it's not interesting enough." Qiao Liang was a little bored.
Ye Xinyi hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip: "It was Ning Hailong who called me just now. He agreed to divorce me and said he would go through the formalities tomorrow."
Qiao Liang was suddenly surprised. He had heard from Zhang Lin before that Ye Xinyi wanted to divorce Ning Hailong. He refused to agree to it, so why did he suddenly agree so readily?
No wonder Ye Xinyi looked like this. Although she was relieved, she still felt strange.
Qiao Liang thought for a while: "Mr. Ye, in fact, the process is not important, what is important is the result. Since you can finally be freed, why bother yourself and find out the reason? As long as you are happy, I really should be there for you.
Congratulations.”
When she said this, Qiao Liang thought that she and Zhang Mei had also divorced and were relieved, but she could not say it out or accept congratulations from others.
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ye Xinyi nodded, yes, no matter why, as long as she can get rid of this painful marriage, she would be thankful. As for why Ning Hailong suddenly agreed to divorce so happily, that doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, Ye Xinyi felt relieved physically and mentally, and breathed out happily.
Seeing Ye Xinyi's look, Qiao Liang was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
When they arrived in Jiangzhou, Qiao Liang drove Ye Xinyi to the door of her community.
"Minister Ye, our trip to Beijing has ended successfully and we are home."
Ye Xinyi did not get out of the car immediately, but looked straight at Qiao Liang, which made Qiao Liang feel a little scared.
"Minister Ye, is there anything else?"
Ye Xinyi pursed her lips slightly: "Qiao Liang, I want to tell you..."
"say what?"
"First, thank you for going out of your way to help me; second, I think we can do, do..."
"do what?"
Ye Xinyi bit her lip again: "Be friends."
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then became happy. This woman was finally willing to be friends with him. She finally regarded him as a friend.
Since the newspaper days when Li Youwei and Wen Yuanming were fighting secretly, the relationship between the two has been estranged and neglected. After Li Youwei's accident, the two came to the ministry. Although they were not as opposite as before, they have always maintained a close distance.
, even if she saves her, she only regards herself as a colleague. At most, she is a good colleague who owes a favor, but it is difficult for her to regard herself as a friend.
Now that Ye Xinyi is saying this, it obviously shows that the distance between her and herself has become closer in her heart, and the tightening of the distance should be related to what happened during her trip to Beijing.
Qiao Liang was happy and touched at the same time: "Thank you, Minister Ye, thank you for treating me as a friend."
Ye Xinyi smiled slightly and reached out her hand: "Since we are friends, let's shake hands."
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment, then held Ye Xinyi's hand. Her hand was slightly cold, but it was so delicate and tender.
Seeing Ye Xinyi's elegant smile, Qiao Liang's heart surged, and she was a little crazy for a moment. She held Ye Xinyi's hand and refused to let go.
Seeing Qiao Liang's appearance, Ye Xinyi blushed slightly, and then showed a reproachful look. As soon as he regarded this guy as a friend, he became crazy. It seemed that he should not be too nice to him in the future, otherwise he would get carried away.
Seeing Ye Xinyi's expression, Qiao Liang came back to his senses, quickly let go of his hand, smiled sheepishly, and then put his hand to his nostrils and smelled vigorously.
Seeing Qiao Liang's actions, Ye Xinyi sighed, this guy is really hopeless, but since she decided to treat him as a friend, she didn't have to worry about his little actions.
Then Ye Xinyi got out of the car and left. Qiao Liang drove to Chint Group to return the car. He continued to be happy while driving. Hey, he became friends with the beautiful woman and got closer.
Thinking of the women around him, Qiao Liang nodded, "Well, Zhang Lin, Fang Xiaoya, Jiang Xiuxiu, Lu Qian, Ye Xinyi are all on good terms with him, only Liu Yiping is drifting away."
As for Zhang Mei, Qiao Liang didn't want to think about it at all. He even felt that she was not considered the woman around him at all. Although they lived in the same house, the distance was extremely far away. At most, she was a familiar stranger.
After returning the car, Qiao Liang called Chu Heng: "Brother Chu, I'm back. Are you back from fishing?"
"I just came back. Didn't you come back quickly from the wedding banquet?"
"Haha, a classmate had an emergency at home, so we hurriedly finished drinking and came back. I will give you the inkstone now. Where are you now?"
"I'm in the office."
"Okay, I'll go find you right now."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang went to a nearby supermarket and bought a small bottle of Erguotou. He drank a few sips, then threw the bottle into the trash can and went directly to Chu Heng's office in the ministry.
Opening the door, Chu Heng was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Qiao Liang went in, handed him the inkstone, then sat across from Chu Heng and blew out a breath of alcohol.
"It seems you drank a lot." Chu Heng said with a smile.
"It's not bad, the classmates are happy to get together." Qiao Liang grinned, and then said, "Brother Chu, it's a big weekend. If you don't go home, why are you in the office?"
"We have guests from Ji Hong's family. It's noisy. The office is clean. I'm just thinking about next week's work."
"Hey, as soon as Minister Xu went to Beijing to study, you will be much busier than before, but you should pay more attention to your health." Qiao Liang showed concern.
"Yes, I am indeed very busy and tired, but I can't help it. Who asked me to take charge of the work of the department." Chu Heng smiled.
"Is there any new news about Minister Ye?"
"Not yet, we will wait until work tomorrow."
"I think we need to take good care of her, otherwise she won't be able to position herself properly and will become even more aggressive." Qiao Liang said angrily.
