In a dream

Chapter 37

If Xie Jingwan knew that this dinner tonight was to introduce someone to herself, she swore that she would never attend, not to mention that the blind date was still Li Guosen.

The four of us sat at a dining table near the window. It was too early in the winter night, and the neon lights were hung up outside. Xie Jingwan felt her eyelids twitch since she was pulled by Chen Liran to sit near Li Guosen. Although she is not superstitious, this feeling still makes her very uncomfortable. She glanced out of the window unconsciously, but found that she couldn't see the JW building from the angle of the restaurant. Besides, after six o'clock For a moment, Mu Elegy was probably already on his way home.Before she got off work, she sent a text message to Mu Elegy saying that she would have dinner with Chen Liran tonight.

"Quiet night?"

"Quiet night?!"

"Ah?" Hearing Chen Liran calling her, Xie Jingwan turned her head and looked at Chen Liran blankly, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Liran asked with concern, "I don't see you answering Xiao Li's words."

"No," Xie Jingwan forced a smile, and asked Li Guosen, "Guosen, what did you say?"

"Oh, I just said that I haven't seen you for a while, and you are more beautiful." Li Guosen's words are true. After Mu Elegy came back, it may be due to his mood. Xie Jingwan's life has become very regular, and she has gained a little flesh. It looks more plump than before but not fat at all. Although they are very familiar people, Li Guosen was still amazed from the bottom of his heart when he first met.

"Really? Thank you." If Xie Jingwan had a slight intimacy with Li Guosen before, then the last time he said those words to Mu Elegy in the restaurant, the only sliver of intimacy was completely destroyed by himself. Well, now he can only be polite to Li Guosen.

Chen Liran naturally knew that Xie Jingwan was somewhat disgusted in her heart. She was also afraid that Xie Jingwan would refuse directly, so she agreed to Li Guosen's invitation to have a meal without telling her her original intention in advance.

"Auntie, you and Uncle Chen, please order." Li Guosen smiled and handed the menu to Chen Liran and Chen Jingrong, and then turned to look at Xie Jingwan. Of course he knew why Xie Jingwan faced him so coldly. , but now that Chen Jingrong is helping to set things up, Chen Liran doesn't seem to hate herself, so he has nothing to worry about, he just needs to please Xie Jingwan, "Jingwan, what do you want?"

Xie Jingwan glanced at her mother and uncle who were discussing what to eat with their heads down, and felt angry, what is this? "I'm not hungry, just order your own, don't worry about me."

"...Aren't you hungry?" Li Guosen didn't want to give up just like that, and continued, "Order some."

Xie Jingwan saw the pious expression on his face, so she couldn't say anything more. No matter what, Chen Liran and Chen Jingrong were still sitting here. She reached out to take the menu, flipped through it casually, and saw a veal steak. Waking up to the veal steak that Mu Elegy gave himself, a faint smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "I want a veal steak like this."

Li Guosen didn't know the situation, and thought it was Xie Jingwan who had figured something out before he laughed, and took the menu with a smile and said yes.

Li Aimo chose a table near the entrance of the restaurant. Mu Elegy came a bit late, she flipped through the menu boredly, and looked in the direction of a table in the distance from time to time.

Under her command, the high heels of the black boots tapped on the restaurant floor one after another. Li Guosen had already started ordering food, and Li Aimo finally couldn't sit still and took her LV bag and turned it out. Mobile phone, lowered head and was about to call Mu Elegy. At this moment, a pair of feet wearing high-heeled short boots appeared. There was a circle of gray-brown fluff on the edge of the boots. Li Aimo slowly raised her head. Take a good look at the person in front of you from top to bottom.Mu Elegy stood in front of her. On the short leather boots were a pair of straight and long legs wearing black slim slacks. The dark blue turtleneck sweater was tightly wrapped around her slender body, with the hem meeting the waist of the trousers. The place where she pressed it into the trousers and pulled it straight, making her waist even more slender. The light gray woolen coat was just the right size to fit her body, and there was a round iron buckle hanging from her waist. The belt was not tied.

"Are you here?" Li Aimo stood up. If the Mu Elegy she saw in the past had a fresh air, then the Mu Elegy standing in front of her was full of enchanting aura.She found that no matter what Mu Elegy was, she could easily make her heart beat wildly, so she pulled the seat next to her and "sit quickly."

"What do you want to eat?" As soon as Mu Elegy sat down, she called the waiter to hand over the menu, and Li Aimo smiled attentively.

The more proactive Li Aimo was, the more unfamiliar Mu Elegy became. She felt a faint resistance from the bottom of her heart. She still politely took the menu in her hand and smiled reluctantly at Li Aimo. For the best friends other than Xie Jingwan, time has passed, even if she rationally tells herself that the past has passed, it was just Li Aimo's temporary mistake, but the scar in her heart will never come back. before hurting.

Seeing Mu Elegy's forced smile, Li Aimo didn't pay much attention to it, and glanced at the dining table with Mu Elegy's back. It seemed that the tension over there was not particularly bad.

Mu Elegy quickly flipped through the dishes on the thick menu. She is still interested in trying many of the dishes here, but not now, nor with Li Aimo. She is planning to bring Xie Jingwan here one day While eating, the smooth and long fingers with manicured nails pointed to a picture and said to the waiter, "I want this, veal steak." After thinking about it, I asked, "Do you have milk? I want a cup of hot water. of milk."

Li Aimo glanced at Mu Elegy. During the time in the United States, she was happy without alcohol, but now she even asks for pure milk for steak, "Is your stomach still like that?"

Mu Elegy nodded, "It's still the same, so take good care of it." After speaking, he handed the menu to Li Aimo, "What do you want?"

—————————————————————————————

"Xiao Li's company is doing okay right now. I heard Jing Rong say some time ago that you signed a long-term contract with the Wei family?" It made Chen Liran feel that this was a bit of a deliberate way to take Joe. Although she herself didn't like Li Guosen very much, after all, even if the Xie family has gathered a lot now, but with the foundation of the Xie family and the Chen family in the business world for many years, if Xie Jingwan is really Marrying him is really loving him, that is marrying down.But since he agreed to his invitation, doesn't Xie Jingwan have to make a statement whether he likes it or not?But since she came here, she had always kept a cold face. Chen Liran reckoned that it would be too difficult for her to speak nicely. She walked away without turning around to save face for herself and Chen Jingrong, so she had to talk to Li Guosen occasionally.

Li Guosen nodded, a little triumphantly, "Yes, I signed a long-term contract with Wei's Group. From now on, most of the building materials used by Wei's real estate will be purchased from our Li's."

"That's really a big deal." Chen Liran thought in her heart that if what Li Guosen said was true, then the future development of Li's family would be limitless, at least in the next few years, they could use Wei's to develop well.

"It can be considered that you have some ability." Chen Jingrong sipped the red wine and cut a piece of beef in his mouth, holding a fork and said while chewing, "Wei can let you sign such an order. Right? late." While speaking, he asked Xie Jingwan again, and the meaning of matchmaking couldn't be more obvious.

Xie Jingwan raised her eyes to look at Chen Jingrong, then looked at Chen Liran and Li Guosen, and felt that the food she just ate was as uncomfortable as if she swallowed it without chewing it and then got stuck in her stomach. "Yes, uncle." The square towel wiped his hands, and said softly, "I'm done eating, you guys take it easy."

The three of Chen Liran persuaded Xie Jingwan for a while, but she was still unwilling to move the fork again, and sat there quietly, watching the three continue to talk about the business in their own minds. Chen Liran listened too carefully to Li Guosen's career. It made Xie Jingwan feel very bad, as if Li Guosen was Chen Liran's prospective son-in-law.Feeling more and more stuffy in her stomach, she stood up and signaled to go to the bathroom, then left the seat.

Finally, Xie Jingwan found an empty table near the restroom. She looked around to make sure that no one was seated before she chose a seat. This is a newly opened restaurant, and most of the customers are from the high society. People, so there are not many people and very quiet. She gently poked a bright and dripping rose in the transparent flask placed in the center of the dining table with her fingertips. The rose petals were still stained with water drops. Wetting her fingertips, Xie Jingwan suddenly missed Mu Elegy very much, wondering what she was doing now, did she have a good dinner?

With the mobile phone attached to her ear, Xie Jingwan stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, only to realize that from this angle she could see JW's logo shining with golden light, and the ringtone from the mobile phone was a song she liked very much. A little thing made her feel better.

"Hello, Mu Mu" The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and the smile on Xie Jingwan's face gradually enlarged when he heard Mu Elegy's familiar voice, "What are you doing?"

"It's dinner, how about you? Have you eaten yet?"

"En." After hesitating for a while, Xie Jingwan lowered her voice and said softly into the microphone, "I miss you."

"So are you coming to my place tonight?"

Xie Jingwan glanced at Chen Liran, who was still eating, and sighed, "I'm afraid I can't do it tonight. I still have some things to do. You should rest early after eating, and I'll go to your place tomorrow."

Mu Elegy responded softly and gently, "Okay, then I'll eat first."

"Ah."
