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

"Haha, no need. If you still take care of me during my suspension period, it will undermine the company's system." Leng Ruofei smiled. She didn't want others to think that she was getting some special treatment because of her good relationship with Merlin. Although the money was not much, she was very grateful that Merlin said so. It was very warm.

"You always like to think about others." Merlin smiled. In the past few years with Elen, he watched her work hard on her own, using her spirit and perseverance to highlight her unique personal charm. He always wanted to make himself look like a friend, not a boss. But Elen didn't seem to think so. He was very happy when she called to seek a lawyer. Although his own affairs were in a mess, he was very happy that he could help.

"Elen, remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can come to me, anytime, anywhere." Merlin said seriously. Although his Chinese was poor, he spoke these few words fluently. Perhaps he had said them countless times in his mind.

"Thank you, Merlin."

Leng Ruofei put away his phone, he was too excited.

She is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She is easily moved. Maybe she is a person with rich emotions. People often have a lot of emotions when their circumstances are at a low point.

Just like towards Mu Liangsheng, Merlin, Qiao Liu, and...her nominal husband Xiao Yiyang.

She saw Xiao Yiyang's car as it drove to the door.

So, she saw that Xiao Yiyang did not call her, but got out of the car, lit a cigarette, leaned his tall figure against the side of the car, and smoked leisurely.

As the sky gradually darkened, Leng Ruofei looked at his figure shrouded in the night, and unexpectedly felt an indescribable warmth. It was just like when Mu Liangsheng appeared downstairs of her company, and it was also a waiting mode without interruption.

Dragging the suitcase out, Xiao Yiyang put the cigarette in his mouth, walked over quickly, took the suitcase, weighed it, and fortunately it was not heavy.

"that's it?"

"Yeah." Leng Ruofei smiled and followed him.

"What do you want to eat?" He opened the car door for her considerately, as if he was used to it.

Leng Ruofei felt a little uncomfortable, she was not used to being served like this. When she was with Mu Liangsheng, because he was older, she did things more often by herself, and sometimes she would take the initiative to take care of him.

Leng Ruofei smiled and said, "It's my treat today, you choose where to eat."

To Mo Cheng, she is both familiar and unfamiliar.

The place where she lived when she was a child, but the most memorable thing is the welfare home. Except for a few noodle shops where she worked in middle school, she is not familiar with the big business districts. She is not as familiar with Binhai and the cities where she studied and worked abroad.

"Let's go to Yihe City." Xiao Yiyang made his own decision. He thought there were more restaurants there and she could eat whatever she wanted.

In fact, Yihe City is a large commercial center developed by Hongsheng Asset Management Co., Ltd. commissioned by Tianjiao Group. He took her there, not only because it was close to Bandao Tingtao, but also because he wanted to hear her suggestions on clothing brands.

Yihe City completed the recruitment of anchor stores and flagship stores before the New Year. All business formats include brand clothing stores, fashion department stores, theme restaurants, leisure and entertainment, large supermarkets, etc. Residential and apartment buildings also began to be occupied at the beginning of the year. The reason why it is called "Yihe City" is actually to commemorate Yu Yiran. Yu Yiran once said that it would be great if there was such a commercial center at the doorstep, with a complete range of catering, entertainment, and brand clothing.

Therefore, Xiao Yiyang spared no expense in investing, but he did not expect that many internationally renowned brands such as Louis Vuitton (LV), Chanel (CHANEL), Dior (Dior/CD), Hermes (Hermes), GUCCI (GUCCI), Prada (PRADA) and so on have also settled in Yihe City, further highlighting its high-end grade.

The car drove into the underground parking lot. There were thousands of parking spaces, which was really too spacious.

Xiao Yiyang took Leng Rufei into the elevator with ease.

"Have you been here?" Although it was evening, the place was still very popular, with many people waiting for the elevator. Xiao Yiyang stood behind her and asked.

"Oh Nope."

The elevator ran down, opened, and walked in. Leng Ruofei's eyes lit up.

The elevator is built with a human touch. It looks like three mirrors, and the bronze metal is crystal clear. When you walk in, it doesn't feel like you are taking an elevator, but rather like you are entering a beautiful room. Even if more than a dozen people enter at once, it doesn't feel crowded.

She and Xiao Yiyang stood at the innermost part. She could see Xiao Yiyang's profile in the side photo. He was tall and handsome. Most of the people riding with him were young girls. She could see that some of them couldn't help blushing and would look at him a few more times.

Leng Ruofei couldn't help but smile, he was a very attractive man.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yiyang had actually been paying attention to her, but he just didn't look at her directly. He couldn't help asking when he saw the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

"Oh, nothing. We're here." She hurriedly followed the crowd and walked out. Xiao Yiyang smiled and followed her.

On the fifth floor, there were many restaurants with beautiful designs and exquisite decorations. Leng Ruofei and Xiao Yiyang walked one after the other, looking around.

Perhaps because there were so many people, Xiao Yiyang took bigger steps, walked side by side with her, pointed to a coffee shop across the street and said, "Why don't we go there? It's quieter there."

Leng Ruofei nodded. In fact, she preferred simple and distinctive food, but she thought that since she was inviting someone to dinner, she had to follow the guests' wishes.

Perhaps sensing that Leng Ruofei didn't seem very enthusiastic, Xiao Yiyang changed his words: "Forget it, let's not go. The environment is too dark. You should choose."

Suddenly, two middle school students ran over from behind and bumped into Leng Ruofei. Her body swayed and was quickly supported by Xiao Yiyang.

Leng Ruofei didn't complain, but Xiao Yiyang frowned. The two boys' faces turned red and they kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, uncle, sister, we didn't mean it!"

The other one was still blaming him: "It's all your fault, chasing me!"

Leng Ruofei pulled Xiao Yiyang's sleeve and responded with a smile: "It's okay, be careful next time."

"Thank you, sister! Thank you, uncle!" The two boys left quickly.

Xiao Yiyang was still staring at their leaving figures with a gloomy face. One boy turned back and saw Xiao Yiyang's eyes and was so scared that he almost tripped over himself.

Leng Ruofei was also shocked by his sinister look. She had never seen such an expression on his face before.

"Okay, they were just careless. I'm fine." Leng Ruofei spoke very carefully.

Xiao Yiyang retracted his gaze and looked at Leng Ruofei, who was a head shorter than him. He raised a bent arm and said, "It's better to walk this way."

Walk arm in arm?

Leng Ruofei blushed and said quickly, "No, no, I'll just be more careful." Then, she raised her hand and pointed randomly, "How about that, Impression Curry."

Watching her jogging towards the store, Xiao Yiyang's mouth curled up. He glanced at the store and raised his eyebrows. Was this the one she chose?

Leng Ruofei regretted it the moment she walked in. She was treating people to a meal, and this place... to be honest, it was a good choice if they were bringing their children here to eat, or if it was a place for young people to date.

Sitting on the sofa with a red face, Leng Ruofei looked at the menu for a long time without moving.

Xiao Yiyang washed his hands, walked over, and saw her struggling with the menu. He smiled and said, "What? Nothing to your taste?"

The waiter quickly explained: "Our specialty here is curry. We have three-color curry and various types of curry rice..."

"Xiao Lin, here I come!" A man in a suit and tie came over and took the ordering box from the waiter.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." The man nodded respectfully at Xiao Yiyang with a humble attitude.

Leng Ruofei looked at Xiao Yiyang in surprise, which made Xiao Yiyang a little embarrassed: "Oh, I brought my... friend here for a quick meal, you go and get busy."

"No, no, no, it's my honor to serve you. We are honored to have you come to our store..."

Leng Ruofei got goose bumps all over his body when listening to this. Who is this Xiao Yiyang? How could he make such a humble man so proud just by having a meal with him?

How could Xiao Yiyang not understand Leng Ruofei's eyes? He immediately stood up and pulled the man towards the corridor.

Leng Ruofei looked around and found that the place she found was quite secluded and no one noticed her. By the way, it seemed that when she was with Xiao Yiyang, she didn't worry about being exposed by the media at all. Was she too careless?

Thinking about the dark coffee shop that Xiao Yiyang had just chosen, was it something she had not thought of, but he had already thought of it for her?

Moving his body to the corner, Leng Ruofei covered his face with one hand.

When Xiao Yiyang came back, he looked apologetic and said, "Sorry, I met someone I know. Please continue ordering."

Leng Ruofei looked over with a pair of dark eyes and asked seriously: "Xiao Yiyang, who are you?"

Xiao Yiyang was stunned by her question, and looked down at his body: "Don't you look like a man?"

He was actually joking with her! Leng Ruofei's face changed, and he picked up the tissue box on the table and was about to throw it over, but Xiao Yiyang instinctively stopped him with his arm.

Realizing his actions, Leng Ruofei quickly put down the tissue box. How could she be so casual with him... He secretly glanced at a couple sitting not far away, and the boy couldn't help laughing, obviously he had misunderstood them.

Leng Ruofei glared and scolded in a low voice: "Speak seriously! Who are you? You told the Mu family to withdraw the lawsuit and they did it. You told them to have a meal with you and they treated you with respect. You told the media to say whatever you wanted and they did it according to your wishes..."

Xiao Yiyang smiled and raised his eyebrows at her: "Ruofei, you have found a treasure."

Go to hell! Leng Ruofei really wanted to smash his cynical face with the tissue box.

Seeing Leng Ruofei was silent and looked angry, he coughed lightly and said seriously: "I am just like what you see, a man, a normal man..."
