"No." Ouyang Ruize said, trying his best to persuade Cheng Nuo, "They are my friends and good brothers. The gatherings between us are different from those dinner parties. We all show our true selves, and chatting is not the same."
There are no requirements or taboos, I just speak from my heart, so tonight’s party is just for good friends to have a meal and chat together, you don’t have to think too much.”
Ouyang Ruize knew what Cheng Nuo was thinking, and he could guess it at a glance from her innocent expression.
"Oh." Cheng Nuo responded. After hearing what Ouyang Ruize said, the worries about the situation were gone, but...
"Your two friends, are they bringing their own girlfriends?" Cheng Nuo still asked the doubts in his heart. If Ouyang Ruize's friends brought their girlfriends, then he couldn't accompany them.
Ouyang Ruize went because he and he only had a superior-subordinate relationship and had no other relationship.
"Not one of them." Ouyang Ruize said, remembering that Jing Ye said at a party before that the relationship between Zi Kai and Ou Xuhan was not boyfriend and girlfriend. Although Ou Xuhan had been with Zi Kai for a long time, he heard Jing Ye say
Zi Kaike never planned to marry Ou Xuhan.
After hearing what Ouyang Ruize said, Cheng Nuo was no longer worried. Since his friend was not bringing a girlfriend, there was nothing wrong with him going as an ordinary friend of Ouyang Ruize. If the time came,
His two friends misunderstood and a simple explanation would be enough.
"Hmm..." Cheng Nuo responded, thinking that if he went to a party, he would definitely come home late. Gong Yi and Xiaomei...
"So, you agreed?" Ouyang Ruize confirmed again with excitement.
Cheng Nuo thought about it and decided to let Gong Yi pick up Xiaomei from school, and then the two of them go out to eat, or Gong Yi could simply cook dinner for them at home. Everything was arranged. Cheng Nuo then answered Ouyang Ruize If you say, "Well, let's go there after get off work...or?"
"Well, I'll go there after get off work." Ouyang Ruize said, already feeling very happy.
Cheng Nuo nodded, indicating that he understood.
After leaving Ouyang Ruize's office, before returning to the planning department, Cheng Nuo stood in the corridor and called Gong Yi, saying that he would go back later tonight because he had something to do and asked him to pick up Xiaomei and then take Xiaomei there.
Eat at a restaurant or cook at home.
When Gong Yi heard that Nono said it was just a simple party, he felt a little worried, but knowing that Nono had agreed to go, he didn't say anything against it. He just said that he would go to the kindergarten to pick up Xiaomei and take good care of her.
.
Cheng Nuo hung up the phone with relief and then returned to the planning department.
…
In the central square of the city, He Zikai and Ou Xuhan had just come out from watching a movie and were about to go to the parking lot of the square.
"Zi Kai, should we go directly to the place for dinner now?" Ou Xuhan happily held He Zikai's arm and asked.
"Well, let's go to the drugstore first." He Zikai answered, turned to look at Ou Xuhan, only looking into her eyes, and then looked forward again.
"Pharmacy? Are you sick?" The smile on Ou Xuhan's face disappeared immediately, and he asked with a worried look.
"No, buy sleeping pills." He Zikai said it directly, because he didn't care whether Ou Xuhan would be worried, so there was no need to hide anything from her.
Ou Xuhan was speechless. He knew that he had a habit of taking sleeping pills for a long time, and he had tried to persuade him, but it had no effect. Later, he comforted himself, thinking that maybe because of his status, he was under a lot of pressure.
So you need a small amount of sleeping pills to help you sleep at night.
"Zi Kai, will you take less sleeping pills from now on?" Ou Xuhan said with concern, "If you feel stressed, you can tell me and I will help you share the burden. I will always be by your side."
After listening to Ou Xuhan's words, He Zikai's face did not change at all, and he did not look at Ou Xuhan.
There is only one woman who can demand herself and control herself.
At this time, on the other side, in the lounge on the top floor of Crown Casino, Song Jingye held Gu Yao in his arms and applied an ice pack to her face.
Looking at her bloated face, Song Jingye felt very painful. In the past five years, sometimes he couldn't control his emotions. Even if he hated her for being cold, he never hit her. But today, his mother's slap made his heart pierce.
It hurts just as much.
Gu Yao stayed in Song Jingye's arms, her face cold and her eyes still looking blankly ahead.
"Does it still hurt?" Song Jingye put down the ice pack and asked.
"It doesn't hurt." Gu Yao moved her lips and said two words without any emotion.
Song Jingye knew her indifference and didn't pay much attention to it. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's almost time. Let's go meet Zikai and the others and have dinner together."
Gu Yao didn't answer. She stood up, straightened her clothes, then took the bag next to her and went to wait for Song Jingye outside the lounge.
Looking at her back, Song Jingye's heart kept bleeding.
…
In the luxurious private room of the Sifang Hotel in Xigang City, four people, He Zikai, Ou Xuhan, Song Jingye and Gu Yao, were sitting in the private room, chatting and waiting for Ouyang Ruize.
At this time, Ouyang Ruize got out of the car at the door of the hotel, then walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, put one hand on the top of the door, and watched Cheng Nuo get out of the car, gently reminding him, "Be careful."
"Well, thank you." Cheng Nuo responded, giving Ouyang Ruize a smile and got out of the car.
After Ouyang Ruize gave the car keys to the security guard next to him, he walked into the hotel side by side with Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo has always been a little nervous. Surprisingly, when he was sitting in the car just now, his right eyelid kept twitching. He didn't know what was going on.
Ouyang Ruize noticed Cheng Nuo's nervousness and looked in front of him, but moved his face closer to Cheng Nuo's face and whispered, "Don't be nervous, my two friends are very easy to get along with."
"Hmm..." Cheng Nuo responded, feeling no less nervous because of Ouyang Ruize's words.
The two took the elevator and arrived at the luxury private room area. Ouyang Ruize looked for the house number.
"We're here." Ouyang Ruize saw the house number and said to Cheng Nuo, then opened the door and walked in first.
Cheng Nuo followed Ouyang Ruize and walked in.
"Hello, we're here." Ouyang Ruize greeted the four people in the private room with a smile.
The four people in the private room initially focused on Ouyang Ruize. When they heard his greeting, they wanted to respond or make a joke, but when they saw the person behind Ouyang Ruize, the four of them looked at him in surprise at the same time.
.
Cheng Nuo also walked into the private room. He just stood up and looked up. When he saw the four people in front of him, he was stunned, especially when he looked at He Zikai.
"Nono, how could you..." Gu Yao was the first to react. When she spoke, she had already stood up and walked towards Cheng Nuo. (To be continued)
