After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Waiter took them to a place by the window, near the hotel landscape elevator, it was a corner, relatively quiet.After taking his seat, Tan Man discovered that after taking off his overcoat, Qiao Sen was wearing a black suit today. Against the backdrop of a white shirt, he looked radiant. He was used to his white coat, so he felt uncomfortable wearing such a formal dress.

"It turns out that you came prepared. You dressed so handsomely. You were so scheming. You didn't say anything in advance. It's rare for me to come to such a high-end place. Let me dress up." Tan Man pretended to complain appearance.

Qiao Sen smiled: "You are already very eye-catching without dressing up. If you dress up again, you will not give other girls a chance to survive."

Just about to answer, the phone on the table rang, and it was Qiao Ning who called.

"Manman, have you seen my brother?" Qiao Ning's voice today was not as usual, and the volume was several notches lower.

"Well, we're here, where are you?"

"You tell my brother, I can't go."

"Why?" Manman frowned.

"There was a car accident!"

"What?!" Manman was shocked.

"Shhh, don't get excited, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just rear-ending, but I can't come."

"Didn't you hit it?"

Qiao Ning's voice was a little guilty: "Yes, the driver who drove me suffered a small injury. Although it's nothing serious, I think we should accompany him to the hospital, but don't tell my brother so that he won't worry. I'll take care of you later. Mom is making a fuss again, it's annoying."

Tan Man hesitated to speak.

"Tell him that my colleague has a temporary job and I have to take over. That's it. I won't tell you now. The traffic police are here, bye!"

"Hello..." The phone has been hung up.

Qiao Sen asked, "What happened to Qiao Ning?"

"She, she said she can't come, she has to take over!" Tan Man perfunctory, Qiao Sen didn't ask any more.

"This girl is always like this, let people go, forget it, then let's order."

Without Qiao Ning, the atmosphere of the meal became less natural.

After ordering the meal, she took out the gift from her bag, put it on the table and pushed it in front of him: "Happy birthday! It's not something particularly expensive, I hope you like it."

Qiao Sen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Tan Man to bring him a gift.

"I'll love whatever you give me."

Hearing this, Tan Man was a little embarrassed, and instinctively looked away, but just as her gaze passed the entrance of the western restaurant, she couldn't help being startled by that slender and tall figure.

It was Gu Mochen who walked in from the entrance with long legs without haste!

Isn't it, can you meet by chance in this kind of place?
Tan Man was inexplicably guilty, subconsciously lowered her head, not wanting to be discovered.

"Can I open it and have a look?" Qiao Sen asked without noticing her strangeness.

"Of course." She lowered her head and replied.

"Very delicate pen, thank you, Manman!" Qiao Sen's tone was full of surprise.

Tan Man raised her head again, but she was keenly aware of a sharp gaze. When she was thinking about whether to nod to him or get up to say hello, the other party looked away and said to one of the men beside her. After ordering something, he turned around and walked straight towards him.

Gu Mochen stood one meter away from her, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, looking straight at her.

Looking at each other, Tan Man's heart trembled.

"What a coincidence, you're here to eat too?!"

Gu Mochen's tone was very flat, and nothing unusual could be seen, but Tan Man still held his heart, stood up and looked at him with a restrained expression.

Qiao Sen frowned, and looked suspiciously at the man who called Manman intimately. He put down the pen in his hand, and slowly got up.

Gu Mochen glanced at the movements of his hands from the corner of his eye.

It turned out that last night she sat by the coffee table, studying her pen,
It turned out that the reason she asked for leave was to have dinner with this man.

After Gu Mochen suddenly realized, his expression darkened a little unconsciously.

"Manman, who is this?" Qiao Sen asked.

Tan Man came back to her senses: "This is Gu Mochen, lawyer Gu."

After finishing speaking, she met Gu Mochen's eyes, and felt a little uneasy: "Um, this is a doctor from the city doctor, named Qiao Sen."

Gu Mochen turned his head to look at Qiao Sen, with a subtle expression, but politely extended his hand first: "Hello, Doctor Qiao."

When Qiao Sen stretched out his hand to shake it back, there was a trace of defense in his eyes: "Hello, Lawyer Gu."

The style of painting was a bit unharmonious, Tan Man found a topic: "Lawyer Gu, I didn't expect you to be here today."

Gu Mochen turned his eyes back to her: "Have a meal with a client, I saw you here, so I came to take a look, did I bother you?"

Her head shook like a rattle: "How could that be!"

Gu Mochen smiled lightly: "That's good, you take it slowly, I won't bother you, Doctor Qiao, see you soon!"

Just when Tan Man thought that Gu Mochen was finally leaving and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, that deep magnetic voice sounded again.

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Qiao, this pen is really good!"

The corners of Tan Man's eyes twitched.

On the other side, Qiao Sen, relying on a man's intuition, instantly put up a defensive shield against this man named Gu Mochen.

After Gu Mochen left, Qiao Sen's face was a little solemn, and he was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Manman, when did you meet a lawyer?"

"I am his brother's counselor, and he is my employer."

At this time, the waiter interrupted her when she was serving the food.

After all the dishes were served, Qiao Sen asked again, "Psychological counselor? Are you looking for a part-time job?"

She nodded: "It's a coincidence. He is a friend of my university professor. The professor asked me to help. Lawyer Gu's younger brother has autism, so let me try to communicate with him. He is a six-year-old child. Fortunately, the symptoms were not too serious, and it is much better now."

"So, you go to his house every day?"

Tan Man glanced at him, lowered her eyes, and nodded slightly.

Qiao Sen's face darkened a bit, and he couldn't tell if he was angry or helpless: "Manman, are you short of money?"

"Of course not!" She explained, "It's just that the professor's kindness is hard to resist. After all, she took good care of me when I was in college."

In fact, it is okay to refuse, but at the beginning, she was defeated by the temptation of a monthly salary of [-] yuan, but now, it is not money that tempts her, but Xiaobei's sense of accomplishment slowly recovering, and... ... Gu Mochen.

The meal was affected a lot by this episode. Tan Man didn't know what to eat in the western restaurant of this luxurious hotel. Finally, when the meal was over, Qiao Sen drove her back.

Sitting in Qiao Sen's co-pilot, the car drove the same road, surrounded by the same bustling night scene, but she was inexplicably tired and lost.

She nestled on the seat, like a dying kitten, not wanting to say a word.

If it wasn't dinner with Qiao Sen tonight, at this time, she should be sitting in Gu Mochen's co-pilot, talking to him about Xiaobei's progress along the way, or chatting with him happily Just like in the past two months, when he sent himself home regardless of the weather, the instinctive joy and desire to stay by Gu Mochen's side came from Qiao Sen who had known him for so many years, and he could never force it out Emotions.

Since when did the short half hour spent alone with Gu Mochen turn out to be the most exciting expectation for her every day.

At this moment, she finally understood, probably this was the reason why she could never agree to Qiao Sen.

……

Back home, Tan Man took a shower and sat on the bed, holding the phone and clicking on Gu Mochen's contact screen. Tonight, his sharp eyes and polite tone lingered in her mind, and she almost couldn't help it. After dialing, but after connecting, what do you want to say, explain, explain the pen or Qiao Sen, but in case people don't take it to heart at all.

After thinking about it, she finally held back and let out a long sigh.

Perhaps to Gu Mochen, she is just Xiaobei's psychological counselor, don't take yourself too seriously, maybe she will forget to meet tonight when she turns around.

At this time, the phone rang suddenly, and she subconsciously expected it, and it turned out that it was Qiao Ning.

"Manman!"

"Xiao Ning, how are you doing?"

"It's all settled. I just returned to my parents' house. Manman, my brother doesn't look happy as expected. What's wrong with you?"

"We're fine. Tonight your brother invited you to Four Seasons for dinner. It's a big loss that you didn't come." Manman pretended to be relaxed and wanted to change the topic.

"Don't lie to me, he is hiding on the balcony and smoking now, he looks very lonely."

Manman didn't want to make any more excuses. She and Qiao Ning had always been very frank and close friends.

"Qiao Ning, I can't compromise, and I can't convince myself, do you still remember that I asked you how it feels to meet the right person."

Qiao Ning had already guessed that Manman probably rejected his poor brother ruthlessly again, and it was still on his birthday.

"You say, you will be frustrated and sad because of the other party's words, and you will also be happy because of his actions. I seem to feel this feeling, but that person is not Qiao Sen."

Qiao Ning froze for a moment on the other end of the phone, and asked quietly, "Manman, have you met someone you like?!"

When Qiao Ning blatantly asked this sentence that she didn't even dare to admit, Tan Man suddenly had a flash of panic. This was an area she had never been involved in, and she was panicked but eagerly awaiting it.

She wasn't sure if she liked Gu Mochen,
But she was sure that she didn't like Qiao Sen.

"I don't want Qiao Sen to torment himself for me anymore."

"...Are you sure, this is not an excuse you made up to prevaricate Qiao Sen?"

Manman chuckled, Qiao Ning could always imagine the plot exaggeratedly: "No!"

"Who is he?" Qiao Ning asked curiously, "Who is that man who can make you sad and happy? Do I know him?"

Tan Man shook her head: "I don't know, even I can't fully know and understand him, but the blindness and impulsiveness you mentioned can be found in him, and I want to see him and stay with him. I am afraid that he will misunderstand, and I hope he is happy."

"The teacher in your school?!" Qiao Ning kept grasping the identity of the other party.

"No, don't ask, okay?"

"No, tell me!"

Manman hesitated for a moment, but still confessed: "It's the lawyer who invited me to work part-time."

"What?" Qiao Ning suddenly exclaimed, and said seriously, "Tan Man, how can you like a married man?! You are destroying other people's families by doing this!"

Tan Man froze for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, so she briefly described Gu Mochen's situation, and Qiao Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
