C31 (1/2)

On the other end of the phone, she could not hear what the Aunt Wang was saying at all. Only when the Aunt Wang's voice increased by a few decibels did she regain her senses.

”Huh?”

”Miss, did you forget that today is the Winter Solstice? Dinner's already been prepared. When are you coming back? ”

She wasn't sure if she would be able to return after seeing Fu Yi. ”I …”

”Miss, it's snowing heavily outside again. Don't drive by yourself, I'll get Old Yellow to pick you up!” Aunt Wang said as she looked at the snow outside the window.

”Um, Aunt Wang,” she decided, ”I have an appointment tonight, you guys can eat. Don't wait for me, I'm sorry!”

She hung up and walked over to the man who had been waiting for her for three hours.

Her gaze never moved away as he watched her approach, but Chu Mengyao didn't dare to look him in the eye.

”I'm sorry!” Chu Mengyao realized that as long as she was in front of Fu Yi, her heartbeat would always accelerate, and even her breathing had become hurried.

Fu Yi looked at her, he was no longer as aloof and cold as he was in the past, instead there was an additional trace of gentleness in his voice, as he said, ”You haven't eaten dinner, if you truly want to apologize, then let's eat!”

”En, alright!” Chu Mengyao nodded. She didn't know why, but the feeling Fu Yi gave her today was a little strange!

The two of them walked toward the car park side by side, but the atmosphere between them was just too awkward. Chu Mengyao sneaked a glance at him, and then asked: ”You, what do you want to eat?”

”I haven't made up my mind yet!”

Chu Mengyao didn't say anything, waiting for him to think it over and tell him.

She followed him to his car. ”Haven't you thought about it yet?” she asked.

”Yes!”

”Then let's go out and take a look!” Actually, she didn't know what to eat, but she still needed to eat. As for what to eat, she didn't care. It was fine as long as he was here!

”Are you sure you want to invite me?” Fu Yi looked at her and asked.

”Yes, I'm sure!” She nodded.

”Don't regret it!” Fu Yi looked at her, a smile flashing past his eyes, ”Then, let's go to our most expensive restaurant!”

In an instant, the awkward atmosphere vanished without a trace. The two looked at each other and started laughing.

The Winter Solstice was the coldest day of the year. With the snow falling, the Winter Solstice became even colder!

They finally found a restaurant that was closer to them.

She looked at the menu in her hands and thought about how a certain person had just been discharged from the hospital and had already ordered a few relatively light dishes, as well as a light lamb soup pot! He then looked at the man in front of him and asked, ”Do you want to take a look? What else do you need?”

”I'll take these!” He took a sip of tea and said.

Chu Mengyao handed the orders over to the waiter and the two of them drank their tea.

”Young Master Fu …” She played with the mosquito in her hand and asked, ”Are you alright? Did the doctor agree that you had been discharged? ”

She remembered that some alcoholic man had only woken up from his coma yesterday afternoon after she had entered the ward. Now that he was in front of her, was he alright?

”Tomorrow morning, early flight to Australia.”

Chu Mengyao looked at him, lowered her head and drank a mouthful of water, then said indifferently: ”Work is important, but the body is the real deal!”

KO Group's subsidiary companies all over the world, travel was a common occurrence for him, but with his current body, could he really travel abroad?

”Not work, but Christmas!” He looked at her.

Chu Mengyao quickly swept a glance at him, then lowered his head. She used the water to conceal the disappointment in her eyes.

”You? Accompany your girlfriend? ” Although Chu Mengyao knew that it had nothing to do with who he was going to accompany, and nothing to do with whether he had a girlfriend or not, she still felt a little pain in her heart.

Fu Yi looked at Chu Mengyao, who had her head lowered, and the expression in her eyes became deeper.

At this time, the waiter brought the lamb pot over. Chu Mengyao looked up and said with a relaxed expression, ”Young Master Fu, the dishes are here. Eat quickly!”

Fu Yi put down the cup in his hand, ”Go and accompany my mother, she's in Australia.”

Book Sword, Chu Mengyao's painful heart had been healed.

”I will be back on New Year's Day,” Fu Yi continued.

Chu Mengyao drank the soup dressed as she did not respond to him. After the meal, although the two did not talk much, the atmosphere was very good.

After paying, Fu Yi consciously took out her card and handed it over, but was stopped by Chu Mengyao, and said: ”You said it as I asked.”

Fu Yi pulled down her hand that was holding his, and said: ”When I return, please invite me again!”

She quickly retracted her hand due to the scorching heat of her palm. After paying, just as they were about to leave, Chu Mengyao's phone rang.

”Miss, where are you?” Just as he connected to the phone, Aunt Wang's anxious voice came out.

Chu Mengyao was startled for a moment, and then said: ”I'm still outside. I think I'll have to wait a while before I can go back.”

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the traffic on the road was beginning to be congested.

”That's good. Old Yellow just came back and said that there was a car accident on Xinhua Road. Now that it's blocked, I don't think we'll be able to get through in a few hours!” Aunt Wang's heart was finally at ease. She heard Old Yellow say that Xinhua Road was in a car accident, but she was scared.

Xinhua Road was the only way to get back to her villa.
