"Uh, well, I'm... married."

She smiled dryly, stretched out her hand, and showed off the exquisite but also very low-key wedding ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

Unexpectedly, his disappointed expression subsided in an instant, and the next second he changed into a relaxed smile, "I knew it earlier, when you got out of the car and were about to take me to the hospital, I saw the ring on your hand." gone."

"Huh? Then you..." What do you mean?Knowing that I am married, let me treat you to dinner?Act like you want to strike up a conversation?

He pursed his lips and chuckled, "I just want to know if the catch in your hand is for playing."

"Huh?" Qu Zhenzhen frowned in confusion.

"I feel that your appearance is easy to be approached, or you just don't want to cause so much trouble for yourself, so you deliberately wear a fake wedding ring. I think so."

Qu Zhenzhen was stunned and shook her head at the same time, "No, I'm indeed married."

"Well, I know now." He closed his lips, paused for a few seconds, and said lightly, "You didn't lie."

"..."

baffling.

Why does he say such strange things?
As if he would know even if she lied?Didn't they just know each other?less than 10 minutes...

"You two, let's go ahead and talk about what you want to say." The waiter said at this time, and stretched out his hand to guide the empty seat by the window.

"Okay, thank you." The man then withdrew his gaze from looking at Qu Zhenzhen, and walked towards the window.

Looking at his back, Qu Zhenzhen's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she didn't like this feeling...

It's like being led by the nose every step of the way.

The two sat face to face at the table by the window, and the waiter handed over the menu.The man lowered his head, clicked on the menu with his slender fingertips, and said something to the waiter.Qu Zhenzhen didn't hear clearly, looking at the night scene outside the window, feeling a little restless in her heart.

"Mid-rare steak, can you accept it?" He put down the menu suddenly and looked up at her opposite.

Qu Zhenzhen was slightly stunned, looked away from the window, and looked at him with some surprise, "I'm not hungry, just order yours."

The man frowned, and then let go quickly, "You don't plan to pay the bill and leave after I finish ordering, do you?"

"..."

Qu Zhenzhen's face paused, she didn't know how to speak, she really had this idea.

"You don't even want to stay with me during a meal. You probably haven't eaten dinner yet, so...hate me?" He said flatly.

Qu Zhenzhen suddenly raised her head and waved at him, "No no no, I didn't mean to hate you!"

"Then you think it's ungentlemanlike for me to invite you to treat me? Actually, I can treat you too." He continued, looking at her deeply, as if she was making trouble out of no reason.

"Why? You misunderstood, I really didn't mean that, I was just a little anxious..." After meeting his eyes like that, Qu Zhenzhen wanted to explain clearly for no reason.

But strangely enough, he wasn't going to listen to her explanation, which didn't seem to matter at all.Because his next sentence immediately said: "Well, since this is the case, beautiful lady, you should be able to spend a dinner time with me."

"..."

He finished all the words, Qu Zhenzhen didn't know what to say, looked at him, nodded with a helpless smile.

The smile in the man's eyes suddenly became wider, as if he expected her to agree, and then he returned to the original question, "I ordered the steak medium rare, can you accept it?"

"...Yeah." Qu Zhenzhen nodded in astonishment, almost suspecting that what he just said was a trick for her.What this person said and did was really natural, right?
The melodious cello strings sounded in the western restaurant, and under the bright yellow light, the two people sitting opposite each other hadn't spoken to each other since the main course was served.

It was because Qu Zhenzhen didn't want to talk, and the man opposite seemed to have good dining etiquette, the action of cutting the steak was marked and elegant, his back was straight, and his face was indifferent, obviously he wouldn't talk while eating.

Even though he was wearing black casual clothes that didn't fit in, he didn't look awkward in such an environment.

'click. '

It's finally over.

Qu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, watched him put away the knife and fork and put it aside, took off the cloth towel and wiped his mouth lightly, and then stopped his movements.

"Well... since you've finished your meal, I'll—"

"I always forgot to ask." He raised his head and interrupted Qu Zhenzhen's words.

"What?" Qu Zhenzhen looked towards him and met his calm eyes.

"Beautiful lady, what should I call you?" He curled his lips and smiled slightly.

Qu Zhenzhen froze for a moment, then looked away in a trance, lamenting that his eyes seemed to have magical powers, and it seemed that he could seduce people's hearts if he was not careful.

"I'm Qu Zhenzhen, you can call me Miss Qu."

She said this deliberately, hoping to distance herself from him.Normal people should be able to hear it immediately.

I don't know if the man on the opposite side understood what she meant. He lowered his eyes and said her name in a low voice, "Qu Zhenzhen... Zhenzhen, this name sounds very nice, and it suits you very well."

"...uh, thanks."

Qu Zhenzhen smiled and nodded, as if he didn't hear the Zhenzhen calling him.

Logically speaking, at this time, she should follow along and ask his name.But Qu Zhenzhen didn't want to, she felt that she and the man in front of her should not have any more contact with each other. It was just a dewy friend who had a meal, why bother to ask so clearly, so she didn't open her mouth.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would speak on his own initiative.

"Zhu Ziqian, my name."

He looked at her, his eyes were not blinking for a moment, and there was a feeling she couldn't understand hidden in it.

Obviously just getting to know each other.

"Hello, your name suits you very well." Qu Zhenzhen smiled and replied to him in a habitual manner.Unexpectedly, his complexion suddenly sank, "No, I don't like this name, I prefer everyone to call me Zhu Er."

"..."

Qu Zhenzhen was slightly stunned, not understanding why his expression suddenly changed, only knowing that he had said the wrong thing.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, actually, actually..."

I was anxious for a while and couldn't find the words in my head. She can't say that your name is actually very ugly. I was just flattering me just now, so you don't have to take it to heart.

But she didn't say that after all, because she was afraid that he would get more angry and hit her.After all, with his current expression, it is really possible for a stranger he just met to do this.

Her face was tense and anxious, when she suddenly heard him laughing lowly.

As if he could know what she was thinking, he whispered:

"Don't be nervous, I won't hit you."

Qu Zhenzhen looked up almost in astonishment, and stared at him.

He was still smiling, and pointed at her cheek with his fingertips. She immediately leaned back, and he withdrew his hand, saying, "Don't be surprised, your thoughts are all written on your face. I don't have a special function."

"..."

Qu Zhenzhen didn't speak, but still stared at him intently.

He pursed his lips and let out a low laugh, clenched his slender hands into fists and put them next to his mouth, "You don't have to talk to me in your heart to test me, I really don't have any special abilities."

It wasn't until he said this that Qu Zhenzhen's astonished complexion calmed down a little, and her staring eyes gradually narrowed.

She lifted the bag next to her with her hand, looked at him, and said in a distant and polite manner: "Mr. Take the meal as my apology to you, I hope you don't mind. Besides, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

She stood up and looked at him quietly, trying not to show her inner emotions on her face.

Didn't he say that he could see what she was thinking from her face?Then she has to keep her face blank.

Zhu Ziqian stood up, leaned forward slightly, and reached out to Qu Zhenzhen, "Okay, I had a good dinner tonight, and I look forward to meeting you next time."

Qu Zhenzhen was stunned for a short second, and then generously stretched out her hand, covering it up and shaking it.After a while, he quickly pulled away quietly.

"I'm going to pay the bill. If you want to sit a little longer, you can." Qu Zhenzhen smiled, turned around and walked towards the front desk.

The stilettos hit the marble floor, making a crisp sound.Qu Zhenzhen stepped on a pace that was neither fast nor slow, and gradually disappeared in front of his eyes.

Zhu Ziqian stood there without moving, with a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, staring at the direction where she disappeared, and narrowed them suddenly after she left.

"Mr. Zhu, I have your emergency call, should I answer it now or..."

A tall man in formal attire came out from some corner, stopped in front of Zhu Ziqian, and asked respectfully in a low voice.

"bring here."

Zhu Ziqian withdrew his gaze from the front, and when he turned his head to look at the man in formal attire, a thick layer of frost instantly appeared on Junyi's face.

-

There was a small episode on the road, and Qu Zhenzhen's mood was slightly affected.

After driving all the way back to Xie's residence in a daze, and walking into the hall, seeing the daughter in the cradle, Qu Zhenzhen suddenly remembered why she went out this time.

She hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her bag, opened the address book to find the number, and called Xie Yaotian.

"Dududu-"

As before, boring electronic sounds sounded one after another.

Qu Zhenzhen frowned, and slightly tightened her fingertips holding the phone.

"Answer the phone, but answer the phone!"

There was a burst of anxiety in her heart, the two of them were still talking on the phone at noon, Xie Yaotian told her on the phone to let her eat on time, pay attention to rest, and not to make her body sick because of work.

He also said that after he came back from a business trip for a week, he would take her and the baby on a trip together, and take a family portrait by the way. Although the baby is still young, the place they are going to travel is not far away, and it is okay if the plan is proper.

But now, no one answered her several phone calls, which is really worrying.
