Du Xiling only pulled her hand back when they were about to reach the parking lot.
Her little face was flushed.
She had played a little crazily today. After playing crazily, Du Xiling lost some of her pretentious fairy aura and had a little more of her natural lively and human nature. She was more down-to-earth.
They got into the car.
Shao Xuanlong raised the car door and handed her a bottle of energy drink.
Du Xiling took a sip.
Then, she tilted her head and looked at Shao Xuanlong's side profile."Brother!"
"Hmm?"
"I have a question. Can I ask?”Du Xiling whispered.
"Ask! What can't we say to each other?" Shao Xuanlong took a sip of mineral water and said.
"It's just…um, are you and Qiao…Sister Qiao a real couple?”Du Xiling stammered a little, but after she asked, her small eyes stared at Shao Xuanlong's expression.
"Why do you suddenly ask?" Shao Xuanlong was stunned. What do you know?"
Du Xiling shook her head."It's nothing. I just feel that you two don't look like a real couple. It's fake, right?"”
"..." Shao Xuanlong fell silent.
Du Xiling's eyes flashed. It was indeed fake.
When Du Xiling went to the safari park with Shao Xuanlong the day before yesterday, she had come back from the washroom and watched Shao Xuanlong make a call from afar. Because they were not familiar with each other, she did not go up to disturb him and only slowly approached him.
Then, she vaguely heard Shao Xuanlong say,"Got it. I won't keep talking about our fake relationship. I won't mention it in the future, okay? I won't tell anyone. Yes, I'm outside with my sister.”
Du Xiling was surprised at that time. She had guessed that it was Qiao Ruobing on the other side and guessed the content of the conversation.
Qiao Ruobing complained that Shao Xuanlong kept mentioning the fake couple, and Shao Xuanlong promised not to mention it again.
Fake couple?
Du Xiling roughly understood that in the circle of marriage alliances, many people were united on the surface for the sake of the family's interests. After marriage, they played their own games. Some people had no feelings, while others covered for each other. They said they were husband and wife, but they were actually good friends.
Of course, they slept together occasionally.
Du Xiling automatically tried to imagine the relationship between Shao Xuanlong and Qiao Ruobing.
Now, she couldn't help but ask.
Shao Xuanlong was silent for a few seconds before he shook his head and smiled."Don't think too much. My relationship with your sister-in-law is very stable.”
"Oh!" Du Xiling nodded and didn't ask further. However, she was even more certain that she had guessed correctly. They were a fake couple.
This sister, did she wait for two days before asking?
"Being born into a family like ours, there are some things that you can't decide for yourself. Just like your situation."
"Me? What about me?" Du Xiling looked at Shao Xuanlong in confusion. She didn't know if he was acting dumb or if he really hadn't reacted.
Shao Xuanlong raised his hand and rubbed her head. He said gently,""Auntie is too strict with you. I've heard about all this. If you want to come out and play in the future, just look for me. I'll cover for you!”
Du Xiling's eyes flashed.
She looked at Shao Xuanlong's gentle expression and intimate actions.
At this moment, her heart moved.
Was he moved, or was the wind moving?
No, the car was moving!
Du Xiling recalled the experiences of the past few days. Perhaps from the very beginning, he already knew what she wanted, but he never said it out loud. He just quietly took her around to play, as if he was making up for some of the things he had lost.
At this moment, Du Xiling's eyes were extremely docile.
After an unknown amount of time, Du Xiling asked softly.
"Where…are we going?”
They were not driving back to the Du family's house.
Shao Xuanlong said,"Let's go eat. Also, take care of your family's company. Auntie and Uncle are both in Beijing. I can't let them down, can I?"”
Play is play.
It was just a fuss!
Shao Xuanlong did not give up eating because of choking these few days.
He still had to do his business!
"Dealing with company matters? How should he deal with it? What exactly is your plan? What can I do to help?" Du Xiling said.
Shao Xuanlong and Du Changgeng had never told Du Xiling about their plan, and Du Xiling had not asked about it for the past few days.
It wasn't that she wasn't curious, but she couldn't ask based on her personality.
But now, Shao Xuanlong understood her.
She didn't want to pretend to be tired.
"You'll know when we get there. Keep it a secret for now.”
"Still keeping me in suspense? Humph!"
Du Xiling snorted.
Normally, Du Xiling wouldn't have such small emotions. Being obedient was her mask, and how could an obedient girl be curious?
Obedience meant obedience. If one was obedient, one naturally did not need to understand what others meant. One just needed to do as they were told.
Therefore, the current Du Xiling treated Shao Xuanlong differently from others. She was even more intimate with him than her parents. This was because she had many small emotions and thoughts that she could casually express in front of Shao Xuanlong.
He wasn't worried that outsiders would find out.
Very quickly.
The car arrived at a small restaurant along the river.
The restaurant wasn't big or luxurious, but it was very famous.
Anyone who came to an old restaurant that specialized in "Seafood Eight Treasures" had to make a reservation in advance unless there was a private room available.
Shao Xuanlong made an appointment yesterday.
Fish bones, sea cucumbers, shark's fin, abalone, fish maw, dried scallops, fish lips, and fish roe were considered top-notch delicacies at banquets."Sea Eight Treasures."
The taste was fresh.
Therefore, the name of the old shop was one word: Fresh!
"Young Master, she has been here for an hour and is still waiting inside. She just looks a little impatient. She came out a few times and wanted to leave a few times.
”After getting out of the car, Third Brother approached and whispered.
"Alright, let's go in then. The time is just right. We can let the kitchen serve the dishes.”Shao Xuanlong nodded.
"Brother, who's inside?" Du Xiling asked.”
"He's one of the major shareholders of your company!" Shao Xuanlong smiled.”
"Eh?"
"You'll know when you go in. Talk less, look more, and eat more later, understand?”
"I know!"
His tone was really obedient.
