The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

Leng Ruofei immediately looked out the window warily, as if he might appear in front of her at any time, and she was a little nervous. She quickly stood up and pointed at her phone to Merlin in a hoarse voice, indicating that she was going to answer a call outside. Merlin bowed his hand to indicate "please go ahead".

Leng Ruofei walked out of the restaurant, stood in the corner of the door, and asked, "Oh, you're outside, what's up?"

Xiao Yiyang was a little impatient: "Outside? Do you think I was blind just now?"

Leng Ruofei blushed a little at what he said, and felt a little aggrieved about his accusation, so he quickly changed the subject: "Oh, no, you... aren't you very busy? Mr. Mo and I are planning to have lunch."

"Still in Yihe City?" he asked in a firm tone.

"Yeah." Leng Ruofei bit her lip. She could tell that he was unhappy. Maybe it was the interaction between her and Mr. Mo that bothered him. She couldn't help but frown. Was she that important to him? How could everything change in just one night?

"The fourth floor or the fifth floor? Where?" Xiao Yiyang's tone softened a little.

"Fifth floor, the western restaurant next to Yiheju." She reported truthfully. She had no idea what he meant. She felt as if he was going to appear in front of her immediately. Her brain was not very clear and she answered stupidly.

"..." Xiao Yiyang put away his phone and spat. She really knew how to choose a place! Could it be that Wen Zijian recommended it? Halfway down the escalator, he turned around and strode up the stairs in the opposite direction. Several girls exclaimed in surprise, but they were also delighted when they saw his appearance clearly.

Leng Ruofei secretly let out a sigh of relief. Why did she feel that it was difficult to face him now?

Walking back to his seat, he apologized: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Merlin looked nonchalant, and there was no menu in his hand, apparently he had already ordered. He smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to me. It's my honor to have lunch with a beautiful lady!"

Leng Ruofei smiled and was about to speak when he was startled by the man walking towards him. Although he knew he would come, his heart still beat faster when he saw him.

Seeing her silly and cute look, Xiao Yiyang felt better. He walked forward, looked at Merlin who looked surprised, and stretched out his hand with a fake smile: "Hello, Merlin, Xiao Yiyang, can I join you?"

Having said that, he actually sat next to Leng Ruofei and took off his suit jacket. A waiter recognized him with sharp eyes, trotted over to take his jacket, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, do you have any other instructions?"

Xiao Yiyang waved his hand to indicate no, then looked at Merlin.

"This is..." Merlin saw him sitting next to Leng Ruofei, so close, as if the two of them had a very close relationship, so he looked at Leng Ruofei, seeking an explanation.

Leng Ruofei cleared his throat: "Oh, Merlin, let me introduce you, this is the 'friend' I mentioned to you. I was at his house this morning."

Merlin immediately let out a long "Oh", stood up and shook Xiao Yiyang's hand again: "Hello, hello, I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday, thank you for your care."

Xiao Yiyang nodded in greeting, but frowned at Leng Ruofei's word "friend". She was unwilling to tell the truth even to her boss, so their relationship was just "friends"? It seemed that her soft-heartedness last night had caused her to have a distorted perception.

"You said you were..."

"Xiao Yiyang, the president of Tianjiao." Xiao Yiyang threw out this title and glanced at Leng Ruofei who was frowning. His provocative eyes seemed to say, what is there to hide?

“Oh——” Merlin’s mouth opened into an O shape. Wow, this Elen is really capable! The circle of friends is really powerful. “Nice to meet you!”

Leng Ruofei said awkwardly: "Isn't Mr. Xiao very busy at noon?"

Xiao Yiyang turned his head and glanced at her: "No matter how busy I am, I have to do my duty as a host when Mr. Merlin comes."

"No, no, sorry to bother you!" Merlin was flattered. He glanced between Xiao Yiyang and Leng Ruofei. The handsome man and beautiful woman were very pleasing to the eyes. But what he was thinking was that Elen actually lived in his house, so what was the relationship between the two of them? Friends, what kind of friends?

A woman in uniform walked over quickly and said respectfully, "Boss Xiao, this gentleman just ordered a steak. Our store manager asked him to add more dishes for you. He is on his way back. Do you have any other instructions?"

The woman was very excited. She had not expected that the store manager had told her to pay attention to the movements of Tianjiao CEO and to closely observe Yiheju. All the waiters in the restaurant should provide smiling service and not make any mistakes. However, she had not expected that the person who was supposed to have lunch at Yiheju would actually "come" to her. Her signature smile immediately appeared on her face, and she felt that her luck was about to change.

"Oh, tell your manager what to do. We are just having a quick meal and don't want to be disturbed." Xiao Yiyang's style was not fake. Leng Ruofei could only describe it in two words: "stylish".

She thought of the last time at Impression Curry... It seemed that she should come to Yihe City less often in the future. She was not used to being treated with such courtesy even for a meal.

"Mr. Morin, how long do you plan to stay in Mocheng?" After the steak came, the two men started chatting naturally.

Leng Ruofei sat aside, listening quietly, without saying a word, and cutting the steak carefully.

"Oh, there was a business deal to discuss, but..." He glanced at Elen who was cutting steak, wondering if she had told her friend about what happened last night, "but it didn't work out."

Merlin wanted to say, "I wonder if Tianjiao is interested in working with him," but when he thought about the strength of his own company, it seemed like such a request was a bit unrealistic.

"Oh? Really? Mr. Merlin runs a clothing company, right?" Xiao Yiyang looked at Merlin, who had a lonely face, with a very sincere expression.

"Oh, yes, I think Elen should have mentioned it to you. Our company is headquartered in the UK, but we also have some business dealings with China. Recently, I have plans to move into Mocheng. I can't say how awesome our company is, and President Xiao also knows that compared to Tianjiao, we have nothing to brag about. But I can say that its future is immeasurable." Merlin used a lot of body language. He gestured while speaking. He politely put down his knife and fork, gestured, and then picked up the knife and fork to continue cutting the steak.

"I believe it. I wonder if Mr. Merlin is interested in cooperating with Tianjiao?" Xiao Yiyang casually handed the steak in front of him to Leng Ruofei, and replaced it with the plate she had worked so hard to cut.

Leng Ruofei stood there in a daze, watching the fruits of his hard work being snatched away. He actually wanted to laugh. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

Merlin was here, so she didn't want to explode. She held back her temper because he had just said that he wanted to work with Merlin. She looked up at Merlin with a smile, "Mr. Mo, you guys focus on the conversation. Come on, I'll serve the steak."

She stood up and was about to take the steak that Merlin had just cut a third of.

"She's a real British, why should you be so attentive to her?" Xiao Yiyang's harsh words rang in her ears, making her stop there awkwardly. She turned her head and glared at him, silently saying "Can you please not be so harsh?"

He also communicated with her through his eyes, "What? You can't stand this?"

Eye contact continued. "Isn't it just cutting a steak?"

He coughed lightly and tried to glare back, "Do you like to be attentive to men so much?"

Leng Ruofei was speechless and his lungs were about to explode!

Merlin noticed that there seemed to be some "electric sparks" in the eyes of the two people, and fearing that there would be an accidental discharge of the weapon, he quickly said, "I can do it myself, Elen, thank you."

It only took a short while to cut it.

Leng Ruofei sat down unhappily, lowered his head and cut the steak, and stepped hard on Xiao Yiyang's foot under the table.

Xiao Yiyang suddenly wanted to laugh. Was she angry with him?

He felt a little pain in his feet, but he was in such a good mood that he didn't feel any pain at all.

"Fei'er, do you have something to say to me?" Xiao Yiyang turned around and looked at Leng Ruofei seriously.

Leng Ruofei was stunned and turned to him blankly, her beautiful eyes blinking on her fair face.

Xiao Yiyang's heart was hit several times, and he quickly distanced himself: "Otherwise, why did you step on me?"

Oh my god! Leng Ruofei quickly retracted her foot, feeling very embarrassed. This man clearly did it on purpose! He actually brought up her secret actions and talked about them in public.

"Oh? Really? Sorry, I really didn't notice it." Leng Ruofei smiled calmly, and when he closed his mouth, he was almost gritting his teeth.

Xiao Yiyang was in a good mood during this meal, especially when he saw Leng Ruofei seeming to want to say something but hesitated several times, he ate all the steak for the first time ever.

What Merlin didn't expect was that the company's brand entry was solved with just one meal. Sure enough, the CEO is overbearing and willful!

Merlin was very excited and held Xiao Yiyang's hand: "Mr. Xiao, I'm so lucky today! I didn't expect you to be such a straightforward person! It's amazing!"

Xiao Yiyang said in a gentle and elegant manner: "I am a businessman, I believe you will not let me down! However, I do not deny that my decision is related to Elen."

Merlin drew out an "oh", which made Leng Ruofei's face flush.

"Aren't you going to get busy?" Leng Ruofei suddenly asked.

Xiao Yiyang glared at her exaggeratedly: "Are you destroying the bridge after crossing it?"

"No..." Leng Ruofei stroked the hair behind his ears and decided not to say anything, so that his kindness would not be taken as an insult.

How could Merlin not see the clues? He said tactfully, "Well, I have to go back to the hotel. The company will work out our cooperation plan as soon as possible. I hope to cooperate with Tianjiao and President Xiao as soon as possible! Elen, I'll go back first, you guys continue chatting."

Leng Ruofei quickly stood up and said anxiously: "Boss Mo, how can this be possible..."
