Chapter 205 - 1 Dinner (1/2)
At six o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Luobing turned off her computer and was about to call Yunqi Huo when the phone on the desk started,
“Ding ding ding dong” sounds very pleasant.
“Yes, I just got off work.” Charlotte walked out with her coat while talking on the phone. “Well, it’s safe for you to drive.”
Huo Yunqi called. He was going back to the old mansion today, so he might not be going home for dinner tonight.
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte, who had just been full of interest, suddenly lost her spirits. She didn’t know when she should have gotten used to him.
“It’s useless.” Xia Luobing muttered to herself. She took out the car keys from her bag and prepared to drive away. Suddenly, a light shone in. She instinctively used her hand to block it. She took her hand away and saw the person standing in front of her. She was unconsciously stunned. “Feng Shuo, why are you here?”
“Bing Bing, let’s have dinner together.” Feng Shuo smiled, his face seemingly exhausted, as if he had traveled a long way.
There was a hotpot restaurant near the Public Security Bureau. When the two entered, there weren’t many people. They chose a seat by the window and sat down. They could see the traffic outside while eating.
“Are you and Yunqi Huo going to have a wedding?” Feng Shuo said, his eyes burning as he looked at the person opposite him, “Have you thought it through?”
He hurriedly rushed over when he heard the news when he came back from a business trip. He did not believe that he had failed again.
Why had he done so much, but she had never seen him?
“Of course.” Xia Luobing poured himself a glass of water and smiled. “If you wish me well, be happy. If it’s anything else, don’t say it.”
From intimacy to indifference, she and the person in front of her felt as if time was a finger of sand, and they could not turn back in a hurry.
Feng Shuo chuckled, “Alright, I wish you well.”
The smile on his face was incomparably sincere, but in his heart, there was a voice desperately shouting unwillingness.
He clearly loved her more than Yunqi.
“Bing Bing, I’m going to leave for a while.” Feng Shuo put the dishes on the plate in front of Xia Luobing and smiled, “I’m really sorry for doing so many things that hurt you.”
Xia Luobing held the chopsticks in his hand and slowly picked up the dishes and put them into his mouth. After a while, she said, “Where are you going?”
She could not really treat him as a passer-by.
“The company has started a new project elsewhere.” Feng Shuo explained, “I’ll take a look.”
Xia Luobing let out a “Oh” and fell silent. She didn’t know what to say, but the hot pot’s chili base boiled like an uneasy mood.
“Bing Bing, if you feel unhappy, you can come to me at any time.” Feng Shuo pressed down on Xia Luobing and said seriously, “I have always had your place by my side.”
“I will be very happy.” Xia Luobing’s voice wasn’t loud, but her attitude was resolute.
She and Huo Yunqi had experienced such separation, and they already understood each other’s intentions. How could they not be happy?
“Bing Bing, there is not only black and white in this world, but also emotions.” Feng Shuo put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked, “QC Group is in a financial crisis, did you know?”
Xia Luobing was stunned. “When did it happen?”
Why didn’t Yunqi tell her at all?
QC Group was a joint venture between Huo Yunqi and Ye Shaochen. The two of them had invested a lot of effort in it. How could a financial crisis suddenly occur?
“In recent days, it is said that the European regional representative leaked the company’s top-level trade secrets, causing a large portion of the unlisted products to be imitated and put on the market.” Feng Shuo explained very “patiently”, “because the chain of funds is broken, the operation of the Asia-Pacific region has also been affected.”
Every word Feng Shuo said smashed into Fu Ran’s mind like a nail. She had just spoken to Huo Yunqi on the phone. How could he not tell her about such a big thing?
No wonder she had called Yunxi recently. She was always listless and depressed. She always wanted to say something but didn’t dare to say it.
Thinking about it now, she must have known about this matter a long time ago, and Huo Yunqi had warned her to hide it from her.
How long was Yunqi trying to hide it from her? Why was he still in the mood to help her prepare for the grand wedding?
“Ice?” Feng Shuo pulled Xia Luobing’s attention back and said with concern, “Are you alright?”
Xia Luobing, who was “well” dressed, picked up her bag and stood up to leave, “You eat it yourself.”
Right now, all she cared about was that Huo Yunqi’s career was so difficult, so how could she still have the mood to eat with Feng Shuo?
“Ice!” Feng Shuo threw the money on the table and hurriedly chased after him, “Bing Bing, listen to me!”
Xia Luobing suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Feng Shuo, “No matter if QC can survive this financial crisis, I will not leave Huo Yunqi.”
No wonder Feng Shuo suddenly invited her to dinner. So it was because of this.
“Bing Bing, I can give you Duo Duo a better life. I will treat her like my own daughter.” Feng Shuo said seriously, “Why don’t you think about it?”
Charlotte laughed coldly, “Is there anything else?”
Feng Shuo took a step forward and frowned, “I know it would be a bit of a robbery to say this, but you have to consider it for Huo Yunqi. If he and Ai Wei weren’t together, QC would definitely be able to safely survive this crisis.”
