When it was time to get off work, the entire New Age Building seemed to be in an uproar. Xiamang had never liked to watch a show. She would only notice a lot of gossip later or even unknowingly.
After work, she packed her things and went downstairs. As usual, she left a step later than her colleagues. When she left the building and saw the sports car parked downstairs of the New Age Building, Xia Mang finally understood why the company had been in such a strange atmosphere. The Ferrari sports car was already eye-catching enough. What was even more eye-catching was that the sports car was covered in roses. It was hard to estimate the number of roses at the moment. Anyway, if Xiamang sat in the car, she would definitely look like a " bouquet of flowers."
"What do you mean?" Even though Xia Mang was used to getting off work a little later than everyone else to avoid the high traffic in the elevator, there were still many colleagues coming and going. Now that Cheng Mo saw her getting out of the car and walking towards her, Xia Mang could foresee how many rumors would surround her in the entire building tomorrow. Ever since she started working at The New Age, she had taken the CEO's car to report to the HR department personally. Later on, Xu Wenhao gave her a bouquet of flowers every day. Then, there was the matter of Chu Ning and her breakup with Xu Wenhao. In the two years that Xiamang had been in The New Age, she had become a gossip figure several times. This time, she had gotten involved with Chairman Cheng of Henglong Real Estate. Xiamang felt that even though she had never liked to join in the fun, meddle in other people's business, and did not have a professional gossiping spirit, she was still a little curious. However, there were always times when life was ridiculous. He would always inadvertently become the topic of conversation after dinner.
"I'll pick you up from work and treat you to a meal." Cheng Mo was calm. He looked at Xia Mang and smiled gently and politely, making Xia Mang choke. Actually, Xia Mang knew that Cheng Mo was only showing off this time to make a declaration. She didn't know if she had asked him to park his car further away in the morning to avoid his colleagues from seeing it and provoking him, or if he was just like that. Although dating wasn't something to be sneaky about, Xia Mang still couldn't get used to being so ostentatious. Moreover, she was also planning to try to accept him, wasn't she?
"Don't do this in the future. I don't like it.”Xia Mang glanced at Cheng Mo from the corner of her eyes and felt a little discouraged. Instead of being calculative, she might as well be honest and not let it happen again.
The atmosphere of the date was a little strange. Xia Mang felt that this feeling should be comparable to the ancient people getting married first before talking about feelings. The first time they met, they had sex. Later on, when they talked about feelings, when they sat face to face, their eyes met, and they kept getting goosebumps. Some things had happened, and it was impossible to pretend that they had never happened. Therefore, Xia Mang always felt uncomfortable facing Cheng Mo, especially in such a romantic and elegant occasion where they should hold hands and look at each other affectionately.
"You don't like the things here?" Cheng Mo asked considerately when he saw Xia Mang's lack of appetite.
"No, it's fine." To be honest, if the person sitting opposite her was Xiao Linghui, Xiamang would definitely slap the table, grab Xiao Linghui's collar, and shout at him,"I hate western food the most. I hate western food the most!" However, it seemed that the place where they went on dates was always Western food. It was the same for her and Xu Wenhao's dates in the past because the environment of the Western restaurant was better. After dinner, they could sit and chat, so they didn't have to change places. At that time, she went to Shangdao the most. Now, the place Cheng Mo brought her to was a club-level place, which was much more luxurious than Shangdao.
"Sammy doesn't seem to have a good appetite when we're out for dinner. It doesn't seem like she's at home.”Uncle Cheng spoke so naturally that Xiamang thought they were family. Thinking back to the few times she had eaten with Cheng Mo, she had mostly chosen western food. Putting aside her personal issues, it would be strange if she had an appetite. However, she had eaten at his house twice. She did not know if it was because she was hungry or because Cheng Mo's cooking was really good, but she did not stand on ceremony at all and ate to her heart's content.
She suddenly missed Cheng Mo's cooking. Xia Mang shook his head in his heart when he realized what was going on. It was a fatal advantage for a man to be able to cook, especially for someone like Xia Mang, who had never done anything before. Xu Wenhao would never have cooked before.
"Sammy doesn't like it. Let's go to another restaurant.”Rich people were indeed different.
Xia Mang shook his head and pouted in his heart. It's the same no matter where you are. The main point is the person who is eating with you. Sigh, rich people would never understand this.
Seeing that Xia Mang didn't say anything, Cheng Mo was quite straightforward. He paid the bill and stood up like a gentleman. He walked to Xia Mang, held his hand, and left together. Of course, Xiao Bai Mang didn't resist. However, she thought that it would be too shameful if Cheng Mo really changed places to eat. Although she didn't have a financial mind and didn't have a deep sense of thrift, she wouldn't do such a wasteful thing. Of course, Xia Mang wouldn't specially communicate with Cheng Mo about this.
The car drove all the way to the suburbs. Xiamang was initially oblivious to the situation and had casually picked a few roses to pluck the petals for fun. However, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, she could not help but feel a little flustered.
"Where to?" Cheng Mo couldn't be a Moonlit Werewolf, right?
"Wind."
"Wind? It's winter now, it's more like a convulsion!”Forgive Whitey's unfriendly tone. She did not know why she was like this. Was she too nervous? Or did Cheng Mo not seem like a good person?
"Sammy..."
"I want to go home. I have to go to work tomorrow.”Xiamang brought up the terms of the agreement and was a little proud of his foresight. Xia Mang felt that it was a little wise of him to use the same trick to defend against Cheng Mo.
"I'm here. Be careful on the road." Xia Mang 'ordered' Cheng Mo to park the car outside the gate of the neighborhood and turned around to open the car door.
“GOODBYEKISS。”This was the first time Cheng Mo 'asked' for a KISS ever since he agreed to date him.
" Uh…" Xia Mang's hand that was opening the car door froze. She turned around and glared at him. He actually showed his tail in her little white light's territory. This big-tailed wolf!
"It's just a good kiss.”Cheng Mo smiled innocently.
Xiamang's eyes lost focus and she blinked a few times before she regained her focus. She bit her lower lip with her canine teeth and closed her eyes, quickly moving forward.
Xia Mang only wanted to give Cheng Mo a peck on his face. It was a good kiss. In the end, after a passionate and long kiss, Little White felt dizzy and heard someone say,"I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Xia Mang got out of the car with a red face and a heartbeat. The cold wind of the winter night blew and she instantly woke up. She stomped her feet, turned around, and said goodbye to Cheng Mo before striding into the neighborhood. She was extremely frustrated. That damned Cheng Mo had suddenly become so easy to talk to when he came back, causing her to lose her guard. In the end, she was taken advantage of for nothing. This big bad wolf!
It was still early, not even ten o'clock yet.
Xia Mang lowered her head and walked home. Thinking about Cheng Mo's kiss just now, she decided to ignore all of Cheng Mo's seemingly harmless requests in the future.
"Ugh!" A shadow flashed in front of her eyes, giving Xia Mang a big fright. When she saw who it was, Xia Mang immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest to calm herself down and kicked Xiao Linghui.”
Sometimes, Xia Mang was very fierce and barbaric in front of Xiao Linghui.
"What is Sammy thinking so intently about?”In fact, Xiao Linghui had been waiting outside Xiamang's house since early in the morning. He had also waited very late yesterday, but Xiamang didn't come home. When he went to work in the morning, he was surprised to see Xiamang sitting in Cheng Mo's car home.
"Nothing, I was too focused on walking, hehe.”Xiamang scratched her head and smiled awkwardly." Ah Hui, you're looking for me?”
"Can't you find him for no reason?" Xiao Linghui couldn't help but feel a little bitter when he heard this, but the warm smile on his face remained.
"Eh? What are you saying! Hui, you can come to me anytime and anywhere.”Xiamang found it strange that Xiao Linghui was so sensitive and narrow-minded.
"Alright, Sammy, why don't you come with me to the riverside?”When he said this, Xiao Linghui's eyes were obviously a little evasive.
"Sure," Xiamang didn't suspect anything. He nodded and led the way to the usual place.
"Shall we go pick strawberries this weekend, Sammy?”Xiao Linghui sat on the long wooden bench that he had sat on countless times and asked casually.
"Sure, I like strawberries the most.”Xiamang was leaning against the back of the chair. When she heard that they were going to pick strawberries, she sat up excitedly. She grabbed Xiao Linghui's arm and said with shining eyes,"Just the two of us?" Or should we call Ye and the others?"
"They should have a date this weekend, right?”Xiao Linghui's words had a double meaning.
Xiamang did not catch the implication and nodded repeatedly in agreement.""That's right, that's right. Then the two of us will go and pluck it. Strawberries, oh, hehehe."
"I'll pick you up on Saturday morning.”Xiao Linghui was in a good mood. He added this sentence at the end. It seemed to be a question, but in fact, it reminded Xiamang not to forget that he had already asked him out.
Xiamang shook her head. She was looking forward to the strawberry picking trip on Saturday. Tomorrow was December 1st. Xia Mang counted on her fingers and realized that Saturday was December 5th. December 5th? December 5th? Isn't this Ah Hui's birthday?
"Ah Hui?" Xiamang looked at Xiao Linghui's smiling eyes. Ever since Ah Hui went to university, it had been nearly ten years since she had spent her birthday with him. Although she remembered his birthday every year and sent him blessings and gifts, before Ah Hui went to university, Xiamang would always go to his house for free food every year on Xiao Linghui's birthday. She even forced him to buy her a cake. Now, Xiao Linghui, who hadn't celebrated his birthday with her for many years, asked her to pick strawberries on his birthday. Did that mean she had to pay and bring a birthday present?
Apart from that, Xia Mang did not think of anything else.
In the next few days, Cheng Mo really came to pick Xiamang up every morning. When he got off work, he would wait downstairs at the Ji Yuan Building. Cheng Mo's performance was very good. Other than being a little too enthusiastic about picking people up from work and giving flowers and chocolates every day, everything else was good. For example, the restaurant he chose, the arrangements for the meal, and most importantly, Cheng Mo didn't force Xia Mang anymore. All physical contact disappeared without a trace. Cheng Mo suddenly turned from a werewolf into a polite gentleman.
He took a leave of absence from Cheng Mo on Saturday and went to pick strawberries with Xiao Linghui. Xiamang only said that she had something to do and did not tell the truth. One of the bad things about being in a relationship was that she had to report something, unlike the freedom of being single.
"Do you mind if we take the bus ourselves?”Xiao Linghui smiled brightly. His smile was always very pure, and it gave people a clean feeling. This might be the secondary effect of his profession.
"Of course I don't mind. It's good that Ah Hui knows the way.”Xiamang treated every trip as a spring outing when she was young. She wore a hooded grayish-white checkered jacket, jeans, sneakers, and a backpack full of snacks.
Xiamang followed behind Xiao Linghui. Just like when she was young, she queued up to buy tickets. When she was fighting to pay, she was pushed away by a certain someone. Xia Mang shamelessly got into the car and snatched a seat by the window. He rolled down the window and took out his MP4 to play. The journey would take nearly an hour, and Xia Mang was used to playing music to pass the time.
Xiao Linghui got an earplug and leaned back in the chair with Xiamang, listening to the music with his eyes closed. The car was not too quiet. Just like Xiao Linghui's mood at the moment, the urge to confess rippled in his heart.
"What is love?" A certain someone suddenly sighed. His mind was not on the music at all.
"Accompany me for a lifetime, protect me for a lifetime."
Xiamang smiled, but she didn't agree. She had once thought that love was eternal, but reality proved that love was very shallow, wasn't it?
"Then, what about marriage?"
"A match of equal status." Xiao Linghui did not hesitate at all.
Xiamang turned around and continued to listen to the music with her eyes closed. The wind blew in through the window, and with the sunlight, it felt a little cold. Xia Mang remembered the summer vacation when she was in her fourth year of university. Xu Wenhao had brought her there to play. They had sat in the same minibus. She had also sat by the window. The minibus did not seem to have air-conditioning. Xia Mang had opened the window wide, and the wind blew in from outside, giving her a sense of coolness. However, the summer sun was very hot. When he lowered the curtains, the wind blew the curtains straight at Xia Mang's face. Within a few minutes, Xu Wenhao, who was beside him, took the initiative to swap seats with the person in the back seat of Xia Mang. Under Xia Mang's surprised gaze, he sat behind her. Along the way, he used his hand to fix the curtains for Xia Mang so that she could enjoy the wind and not be exposed to the sun.
When Xiamang got out of the car, she saw Xu Wenhao's left arm that was red from the sun. She was very touched and felt that this was the happiest thing in the world. This time, because it was winter, the curtains on the minibus had been removed. Xiamang knew that no one would cover her carriage like this again.
