Since he couldn't think of a way to reject Yuwen Jingxue, Jin Xiaomao had to find a way to bring Xu Dumin back. However, Jin Xiaomao spent the entire morning and did not think of anyone to bring Xu Dumin back.
At last, Jin Xiaomao thought of an idea." Since he couldn't bring Xu Dumin back today, he might as well let him stay at Wu Tong's place for another night. He would pick him up tomorrow when he had time.
Jin Xiaomao made up his mind and dialed Wu Tong's number,""Miss Wu? I want to tell you something."
"If you have something to say, say it!" Jin Xiao Mao didn't know that Wu Tong was so familiar with him that she could say all kinds of things.
Some people said that being familiar with someone was a treasure, and they didn't even hold back when scolding someone.
"I have something to do tonight. I'm afraid I can't go to your house to pick up Xu Dumin.”Jin Xiao Mao said in a low voice.
"Do you not want to bring him back? Let me tell you, he's your friend, not mine. I'm already taking good care of him by letting him stay for a night. Don't push your luck.”Wu Tong was obviously very unhappy about this." Besides, we're living alone in the same room. If word gets out, won't we be laughed at to death?”
Jin Xiaomao frowned and said in a serious tone,""What do you mean by a man and a woman living together? Isn't there still Li Zhengwan staying at your place?”
"Don't you know?" Wu Tong sighed. Li Zhengwan has already returned to her hometown."
Jin Xiaomao hadn't heard about Li Zhengwan. He was surprised and asked,""What's wrong with her? Why did she leave just like that?”
Wu Tong thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide it from him, so she told him everything about Li Zhengwan and Zhang Han.
"How could Zhang Han do this? Why didn't she cherish it after she got it?”Jin Xiaomao sighed, but he soon found a way to let Xu Dumin live in her house." Since Li Zhengwan doesn't live with you anymore, I think it's better for Xu Dumin to live with you." Think about it, you work at night most of the time. He won't affect you much if he stays at your place. He can even help you look after the house. More importantly, Xu Dumin and I are both good cooks. This way, you will have a good meal after work.”
Wu Tong listened and felt that it made sense, but she still said unforgivingly,"Don't think that I don't know what you want to do. You just want to arrange for Xu Dumin to stay at my house. When He Li comes back, the two of you can live together.”
? Jin Xiao Mao smiled awkwardly and said," Alright, alright. Think whatever you want. Just let us have it!"”
"Alright, alright! Let him stay at my house for now. But let's make this clear first. If he provokes me, he has to get lost immediately!”Although Wu Tong had agreed, she had no choice but to state her conditions.
As long as he didn't ask him to pick up Xu Dumin tonight, Jin Xiaomao felt that he could agree to any condition. Even if Xu Dumin annoyed Wu Tong tomorrow, it was not a big deal. He would bring him back to the office. He could just live in a small neighborhood.
Therefore, he agreed without hesitation.
When he got off work in the evening, Yuwen Jingxue was already waiting for Jin Xiaomao downstairs.
Yuwen Jingxue didn't think that Jin Xiaomao belonged to that He woman. As long as the two of them were not married, she would have a chance. Moreover, it was best to take advantage of this period of time. When that woman surnamed He was not around, she could be with him freely.
Therefore, when Jin Xiaomao told her this morning that he already had a girlfriend, she didn't mind at all.
Instead, she felt sad for those traditional concepts. What loyalty, three obedience, and four virtues were all outdated concepts from her previous life, or the life before that.
What era was it now? It was already very normal for two people to be together if they were doing well and break up if they were not doing well.
Of course, Yuwen Jingxue had always thought that Jin Xiaomao and He Li couldn't live anymore.
For example, He Li, that Xi guy, and their daughter, Tao Tao, were together now. The family of three was playing in Shanghai for a few days, and they were so happy that they forgot about home!
Wasn't this tormenting Jin Xiaomao's heart? There would definitely be a rift between him and He Li because of this. What Yuwen Jingxue needed to do now was to take advantage of this time to win Jin Xiaomao's heart into her arms.
Many people left the company after work, but Yuwen Jingxue did not see Jin Xiaomao.
She couldn't help but call him, but no one picked up.
Could it be that this kid was going to stand her up again? Yuwen Jingxue thought.
Probably not. She had reminded him again and again this morning that he could not break his promise and stand her up. Jin Xiaomao was not the kind of man who would go back on his word.
At least in her heart, he was not like that.。
After waiting for a long time, the people in the company seemed to have left. Jin Xiaomao rushed out from inside.
"What are you doing? Why did you only come out now?”Yuwen Jingxue asked him.
?" I have a few documents that I haven't finished, so I took a while to sort them out."?”
At this time, Du Lingling suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Seeing the two of them together, she couldn't help but say,""What a coincidence. We meet again. Assistant Jin, you're so lucky.”
Why did Du Lingling look like a ghost? Everywhere!
Jin Xiaomao knew that she was He Li's confidant. He hid in the company for so long just to hide from others and avoid causing trouble.
But now, with Du Lingling around, nothing could be hidden.
To make matters worse, Yuwen Jingxue, who didn't understand the situation, added fuel to the fire,""Are you Jin Xiaomao's colleague? I picked him up because I wanted to have a meal with him. Why don't you come with us?"
"No, no, I won't disturb your romantic date." Du Lingling hurriedly waved her hand.”。
After Du Lingling finished speaking, she looked at Jin Xiaomao with a strange look. This look made Jin Xiaomao's heart tremble.
After sending Du Lingling off, Yuwen Jingxue drove Jin Xiaomao straight to the Natural Residence Hotel.
They chose a window seat on the second floor of the hotel because they could see the scenery outside the window and not feel too depressed.
After the dishes were served, the waiter asked,"Would you like white wine or red wine?”
Yuwen Jingxue thought for a moment and said,"I'll have a bottle of 1982 Lafite first!" Hurry up!"
Although Jin Xiaomao had been living in the countryside, he knew that the 1982 Lafite was expensive.
The biggest difference between He Li and Yuwen Jingxue was that He Li didn't like to be ostentatious. She liked to eat in small restaurants, eat ordinary home-cooked dishes, and drink ordinary hometown wine. But Yuwen Jingxue was completely different. She liked to eat in bigger hotels and drink some famous red wine to set off the atmosphere.
Not long after, the waiter came over and opened a bottle of 1982 Lafite and poured each of them a shallow glass.
Yuwen Jingxue picked up the wine glass and slowly swirled it around.""When drinking red wine, you can't be in a hurry. Usually, you should wake up with a wine cooler first before it tastes better. If we drink it like this and shake it slowly, it's equivalent to sobering up. This way, the fragrance of the red wine can also be emitted.”
? Jin Xiaomao curled his lips and said," I don't know this. I haven't drunk red wine many times. I think it's all the same."”
Yuwen Jingxue laughed." Let's not talk about this. Let's eat first. Then, we can talk about our relationship."”
"What can we talk about? Didn't you say that this meal was to thank me for giving you the tickets? Why are you talking about this again?"? Jin Xiaomao seemed to have sensed something and wanted to avoid it.
"Jin Xiao Mao, ever since you invited me to watch that movie, I feel that we are too fated.”Yuwen Jingxue was still shaking the glass of wine as she said," I'm already 28 years old. I think it's time for me to find someone to marry. To be honest, I quite like you. You're sincere, caring, and responsible. I want to be with you.”
Jin Xiao Mao was a bit scared when he heard that. He quickly made a stop gesture to Yuwen Jingxue and said,""Can you not scare me? You know I have a girlfriend.”
Yuwen Jingxue snorted and said,""Your girlfriend is unreliable. She's with your ex-husband now! Do you understand what it means to be with your ex-husband? An ex-husband was the person they loved in the past. Any spark would ignite the flames of their past love.”
"Don't talk nonsense. She's not that kind of person. She said that she would come back as soon as possible.”Jin Xiao Mao hated the way Yuwen Jingxue talked about He Li.
"Alright, alright, I was just talking nonsense, alright? Let's not talk about this and drink properly, okay?”Yuwen Jingxue saw that he was a little unhappy, so she quickly moved to another location.
She raised her cup high to invite him. Jin Xiaomao had no choice but to follow suit and raise his cup. With a clang, they clinked their glasses and drank.
Yuwen Jingxue drank it happily.
Because tonight, she was drinking with the person she liked.
Jin Xiaomao drank it with depression and disappointment.
Because Yuwen Jingxue's words had hurt his heart.
The waiter hurriedly poured more wine. This time, Jin Xiaomao raised his glass first. Perhaps, a man in a bad mood needed wine to heal himself!
Yuwen Jingxue didn't say anything about the wine needing to be sobered up, because she felt that it was already a happy thing for Jin Xiao Mao to raise his glass to invite her.
So, they drank cup after cup until Jin Xiaomao could no longer recognize Yuwen Jingxue!
