In the evening, Yinuo had indeed made an appointment with Gu Yi to go to the newly opened private restaurant for dinner.
When it was time to get off work, Yi Nuo was waiting for Gu Yi at the door. Gu Yi had never been so late before. Under normal circumstances, Gu Yi would arrive after waiting for ten minutes downstairs. Sometimes, Gu Yi was the one who waited for Yi Yi. However, Gu Yi did not come today. He did not pick up his calls or reply to his messages.
When Jiang Cheng and Chen Xue came down, Yi Nuo still did not see Gu Yi.
"Nuonuo. Why are you still here?" Chen Xue was baffled. Every day, she and Jiang Cheng would leave relatively late, but Yi Nuo would happily let Gu Yi pick her up as soon as she got off work.
" It's too congested on the road." Yi Nuo smiled helplessly.
Jiang Cheng had a poker face. Once he was outside, his cold and murderous temperament could radiate to an immeasurable distance. Moreover, the sky was already so dark that he did not know what was going on. He saw that Chen Yinuo was still waiting for Gu Yi at the main entrance. His mood was extremely bad.
"We'll wait with you.”Chen Xue said.
"No need. He would be here soon. Hurry up and go to the dinner. Jiang City is never late." However, Yinuo did not dare to call in front of them because he was afraid that Gu Yi would not pick up. It was also because Gu Yi did not pick up after she called him more than ten times.
" Call me if you need anything," Jiang Cheng said coldly and walked towards the parking lot.
Chen Xue patted Yi Nuo's shoulder and said,""Call me. Hmm?"
"Alright."
……
After waiting for a long time, Yi Nuo did not see Gu Yi. However, she received a message from him-Sorry. Nono. Something came up at work and she couldn't leave. It wasn't convenient to use the phone just now. I'll call you when I'm done. Good boy. Hug ~ Mua ~ Although she was very disappointed, she still understood him after reading the rest. Work was never easy. When he was in S City, there were times when he had to work overtime or encounter emergencies. When she thought about it, her heart ached for him.
"Yes, I am. Don't tire yourself out. Remember to eat." After Yi Nuo replied to the message, she knew that Gu Yi would not reply again, so she put the phone in her bag in peace. He walked slowly and looked for good places to eat as he strolled. After walking for a long time, they had almost reached the west of the city from the east side of the city before turning into Zhongshan Street and arriving at the MC shop at the crossroad. He ordered a double-decker cheeseburger set meal and sat by the window on the second floor. As he ate, he looked at the scenery at the crossroads.
This was the Laocheng District, but it was very tasteful. When she was young, Yinuo liked to sit here and watch the traffic outside and the colorful billboard around her. Prosperous, yet unique.
Huang Siyuan treated them to a meal at a leisure manor in the suburbs. The manor was built against a mountain, and there was a huge artificial lake in front of the villas. It was built with the help of the natural geographical conditions. Each villa only received one group of guests. They could rest upstairs after eating. During the day, they also provided outdoor barbecue, fishing, and other leisure activities. Even if the cars parked in the parking lot were not branded cars, they would have very different license plates.
At the table, Chen Xue and the people from Sansheng were talking back and forth with the people from Siyuan, using the wine to negotiate conditions. Jiang Cheng was not in the mood at all. She was so upset that she got up and went outside. The scenery at night became mysterious and hazy. Jiang Cheng was not in the mood to appreciate it. He just smoked and walked around casually. However, Gu Yongcheng was surrounded by a large group of people. Gu Yongcheng saw Jiang City first.
"Mr. Barker, you're really in a good mood."
Jiang Cheng looked at the crowd when he heard the voice.
" Gu Shi isn't bad either." Jiang Cheng was nonchalant and didn't show any respect. When he saw Gu Yi from the corner of his eye, Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly became ruthless. Being looked at like this by Jiang City, Gu Yi had to be calm no matter how weak he was. His face was filled with an unyielding expression. Qiu Jie held Gu Yi's arm. Her big waves were soft and flirtatious. Her business attire did not make her look serious. Instead, she looked a little flirtatious. However, overall, she did look like a dignified little woman.
"Next month, my son and Secretary Qiu's daughter are getting married. Mr. Barker, you must do me the honor."
Jiang Cheng smoked his cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, but did not say whether it was good or bad. "What a perfect match." Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue in praise, but his cold tone sent chills down everyone's spine.
Gu Yongcheng and the others looked extremely embarrassed. In the end, Gu Yongcheng still politely asked Jiang City if they wanted to eat together.
Jiang Cheng pointed at a villa with a cigarette in his hand. He blew out smoke and refused silently.
"Then we'll make a move first, Mr. Barker. We'll meet again when we're free.”
A group of people left Jiang City. Seeing Jiang Cheng's warning gaze and the inexplicable cold smile at the corner of his mouth, Gu Yi felt extremely guilty. Following the large group of people, their footsteps quickened.
Gu Yongcheng left. Jiang Cheng called Yinuo.
"Nuonuo. Are you done with your date? Chen Xue misses you." Jiang Cheng said seriously, but his face was filled with heartache. Chen Xue didn't miss you, but I did. But I dare not say.
"Not yet." Jiang City could be indecent, so why couldn't she lie to him?
"That group of old men can't even talk things through properly. Chen Xue and I didn't eat much. How about we go eat after your date?”
"I'm full."
"What did you eat? I'll recommend you to eat there next time.”
"Double chests."
"What bad taste does Gu Yi have?"
"That's still better than you. Can you not disturb my date?" Yi Nuo defended. However, Yi Nuo had never noticed that Jiang Cheng would never call her if he knew that she was with Gu Yi. There was a fight because of business. As long as Gu Yi was present, Yi Nuo would definitely not have such a relaxed tone to argue with Jiang City. She would most likely use a business-like tone and never say anything unnecessary. A promise. Your acting skills have always been good and impeccable. Even now, I can't bear to expose you.
Jiang Cheng was not only disdainful, Gu Yi did not even have the right to be disdainful. "Let Gu Yi answer the phone."
Yi Nuo choked on Jiang Cheng's words. He held a mouthful of Coke in his mouth, but he could not swallow it. In an instant, all his emotions gushed out. Yes, he was very busy, and Yi Nuo could understand it. However, after waiting for a long time, he had to break his promise. No matter what the reason was, Yi Nuo would still be disappointed. I don't blame you, but I'll feel bad.
Jiang Cheng did not hear Yi Nuo's response for a long time, so he called out softly,"Nono?"
"Hmm?" Yinuo's voice was muffled. It was hard to tell if it was because she was crying or because her mouth was full of cola.
"What's wrong with you?"
It was not easy for Yi Nuo to swallow the coke." It's stuck in the coke."”
"Promise. Am I that easy to fool in your eyes? Or do you not trust me?"
Jiang Cheng's clear and pleasant voice was filled with anger, heartache, and reluctance to blame.
"I'm sorry." Yi Nuo was a little helpless. She felt that she had concealed it well enough. How would she know that she was indeed full of loopholes today, but Jiang Cheng was well aware of the truth, so he was able to expose her.
"Where are you?"
" McDonald's at the crossroads."
"There are so many crossroads, which one are you talking about?”
"Zhongshan Street."
"I'll go pick you up."
"Weren't you talking about Siyuan?”
"We're done." It was normal to not have enough to eat during social gatherings. Moreover, Jiang City was not in the mood at night at all. He did not even move his chopsticks and ran outside.
