"It's better to meet by chance than by invitation. Let's do it today! What do you think?" Yuan Mingheng said straightforwardly.
This time, it was Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao's turn to look at each other. They hadn't expected Yuan Mingheng to agree so readily, but where to eat became a problem. They couldn't afford expensive ones, and they were afraid that Yuan Mingheng wouldn't be satisfied with the average ones.
Yuan Mingheng looked at the two of them and smiled,"I know a good place. How about I take you there?”
Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao looked at each other. Since Yuan Mingheng had said so, how could they not agree?
Yuan Mingheng drove into an alley.
"I'm sorry to trouble the two of you to take a few more steps.”Yuan Mingheng opened the car door for them like a gentleman.
Standing in the crowded and dirty alley, Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Zinuo suspiciously. She thought that even if Yuan Mingheng didn't go to any high-end places, he would at least go to some elegant places. But this place was completely unrelated to Yuan Mingheng's identity!
When they reached the end of the alley, they finally saw a plaque hanging diagonally on the door,"Bian's Home Cooking".
Yuan Mingheng was the first to enter.
"Lang Zai! You're here. Come and sit in the house!" An old lady in her 60s greeted them warmly.
"Yo! What a pair of beautiful little girls! This was Lang Zai's first time bringing a girl here! Quickly enter the house! Hurry up and enter the house!"
Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao entered the house under the old lady's warm invitation.
The room was very clean and tidy. There were not many decorations in the room, just a few common long tables and benches. However, it gave off a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Old man, Lang Zai is here. Make a few of your best dishes. Oh! There are also two beautiful little girls. You must bring out all your unique skills! Give our Langzi some face." The old lady shouted loudly.
"Don't mind her. Aunt Yun likes to joke around.”Yuan Mingheng poured them tea with familiarity.
The tea leaves were very fragrant, and the room was instantly filled with the fragrance of tea.
"It's a supreme-grade Tie Guanyin." Jun Zinuo said in surprise.
Jun Zinuo couldn't be blamed for being surprised. Which restaurant would serve the best Tie Guanyin to their guests?
"Young lady, you know tea too. Lang Zai specially brought this for our old man. Our old man has always been reluctant to drink it. Today, he was willing to take it out because of you two young ladies.”Aunt Yun said with a smile.
"Are you very familiar with the boss here?" Xiaoxiao, who had been depressed for a long time, could not help but ask.
"That's right! We've known each other for decades."
"Aren't you from Shanghai?"
Jun Zinuo really wanted to shut Xiaoxiao's mouth. Everyone had their own secrets, and their relationship with Yuan Mingheng wasn't that deep, so what was the point of knowing so much?
Yuan Mingheng wasn't unhappy. He said gently,"My grandmother is from Nanjing. I stayed here with my grandmother for several years. Aunt Yun watched me grow up. Every year when I'm free, I'll come and try Uncle Xue's cooking.”
Jun Zinuo secretly sized up Yuan Mingheng again. From the first time they met, Jun Zinuo felt that he could not see through this person. Although Yuan Mingheng always had a kind smile on his face, he was not easy to get close to. But now, Yuan Mingheng's body carried a trace of smoke. Jun Zinuo felt that a person who was nostalgic must have a good heart.
The dishes were sumptuous and delicious. Jun Zinuo and Xiaoxiao were still eating.
When Xiaoxiao was paying, the two old men refused to accept anything. Xiaoxiao was so anxious that tears almost came out of her eyes. In the end, Yuan Mingheng took two hundred yuan from Xiaoxiao's hand and handed it to the old lady. Only then did the matter come to an end.
Xiaoxiao chattered non-stop along the way, probably because she had seen Yuan Mingheng's gentler side! Xiaoxiao did not seem as nervous as before.
Under Xiaoxiao's and Jun Zinuo's repeated protests, Yuan Mingheng still sent them to school. Xiaoxiao and Jun Zinuo felt very apologetic. They would be under a lot of pressure if Deputy Secretary Yuan were to be their chauffeur.
"Zinuo, wait a moment." Yuan Mingheng called out to Jun Zinuo, who had gotten off the car with Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao tactfully left alone.
Without Xiaoxiao's banter, the car seemed a little dull.
Jun Zinuo was a little nervous, and his palms were covered in sweat. She wondered why Deputy Secretary Yuan, who was busy with work, would have time to accompany them.
"Has Mingche contacted you recently?”Yuan Mingheng asked cautiously.
"No, I haven't." Yuan Mingche did call her a few days ago, but she hung up without picking up.
"I don't mean anything else. It's just that Mingche's relationship with his family has been very tense recently. If he contacts you, I hope you can persuade him more.”Yuan Mingheng carefully observed Jun Zinuo's expression. Ever since his family had set the date of his engagement with Jun Ziqing, Mingche had gone on a hunger strike for three days in protest. However, everyone knew that the old man at home had a stubborn temper. As a result, the two of them had become more and more awkward.
"Deputy Director Yuan is a smart person. He should know better than anyone what to do.”Jun Zinuo clearly understood that Yuan Mingche's rejection of the marriage wasn't because of her. However, he was now pinning the blame on her. It really made him very unhappy.
"I'm not the person Deputy Secretary Yuan really loves. I think Deputy Secretary Yuan might have found the wrong person.”Jun Zinuo didn't give Yuan Mingheng a chance to speak and left the car. What a joke. I have a temper too. Why should I take the blame for someone for no reason?
Yuan Mingheng looked at Jun Zinuo's back in disbelief. He could feel that Jun Zinuo was telling the truth. But the problem was that Jun Zinuo was the only person who could make Mingche talk about marriage! How could he not know that there was another woman in Mingche's heart?
"Nuonuo, did you miss me?" Jun Zinuo had just arrived at work when he was blocked by Yuan Mingche, who had a roguish look on his face.
Jun Zinuo ignored him. No matter what the situation was, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
"Deputy Director Yuan, please behave yourself." Jun Zinuo said with a dark face.
"Nuonuo, my heart hurts! How could you do this to me!" Yuan Mingche clutched his chest and called out mischievously.
Jun Zinuo couldn't be bothered with Yuan Mingche. She walked around him and walked forward.
"Nuonuo, there will be a good show in two days. It's about Jun Ziqing. Do you want to watch it?”Yuan Mingche said leisurely.
Jun Zinuo was shocked and felt that something bad was about to happen. Although she and Jun Ziqing were not close, she was Jun Ziheng's sister. If something happened to her, it would definitely affect Jun Ziheng.
"Yuan Mingche, what do you want?" Jun Zinuo asked angrily.
"You're still protecting her. She's stealing your marriage!”
"I've never agreed to this marriage, so why would I snatch it? Besides, Sister Ziqing did it because she loves you!”Jun Zinuo tried his best to speak in a gentle tone.
"Love me! What a huge joke. She loved the Yuan family! She first fawned over our old man to get this marriage! Then what am I? An ornament, a puppet? She's underestimating me too much. As long as I don't want to marry her, she won't be able to enter the Yuan family. Since she's trying to pull the rug out from under me, don't blame me for playing dirty.”Yuan Mingche's expression was a little sinister.
Jun Zinuo's heart skipped a beat. She could feel that Yuan Mingche wasn't joking.
Jun Zinuo spent the entire day feeling uneasy. She didn't know what Yuan Mingche was talking about, but it definitely wasn't anything good. Should she tell Jun Ziqing? How could she tell Jun Ziqing without any evidence? Jun Ziqing might not believe her! Jun Zinuo's head was spinning.
The next morning, Jun Zinuo came to school early. She wanted to discuss with Xiaoxiao and see if she had any good ideas. What surprised her even more was that Xiaoxiao had gotten off from a luxurious car. That car was very familiar. Jun Zinuo remembered that it was Yuan Mingheng's private car.
Jun Zinuo could no longer describe his feelings with shock.
