Chapter 230: Chapter 208 Meeting
Jingxian Building
At 6:50, Wen Mingcheng and Qiao Yuxian sat down at the dinner table.
"What do you want to eat?" Wen Mingcheng asked.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him without responding.
Ever since she asked him who he was going to fight tonight and he didn’t answer,
Qiao Yuxian has been silent as if she turned mute, not saying a word to him.
Every time he says something, she just looks at him but remains silent.
Wen Mingcheng: "......"
Qiao Yuxian sat at the table, playing with her phone.
Wen Mingcheng watched her for a while and then glanced at the person standing by the door.
The person standing by the door immediately came over and bent down to ask, "President Wen."
Wen Mingcheng spoke a few words in a low voice, and the person beside him went out.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at them whispering but ignored them.
Then five minutes later, the person who had just left came back in with a very fresh-looking paper bag and placed it beside Wen Mingcheng.
Qiao Yuxian looked down at her phone, glimpsed at him from the corner of her eye, but still didn’t speak, focusing on her phone.
Wen Mingcheng looked at her, paused, opened the bag, took out a box of ice cream, placed it on the table, pushed it in front of her, and said, "Truce, okay?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at him and then at the ice cream.
Her eyes were fixed on the ice cream, not moving.
What is this?!
What is this?!
Ever since Gu Yanjing had her switch to drinking hot water, she hadn’t seen this thing.
Qiao Yuxian stared at the ice cream. After a while, she put down her phone, glanced at Wen Mingcheng, and said haughtily, "Fine, temporarily truce with you."
"Temporarily," Wen Mingcheng said.
Qiao Yuxian ignored what he said, took the ice cream, opened it, and tasted a bite.
It was a long-lost flavor.
Wen Mingcheng smiled slightly at her cute expression and thought to himself: Little girl, still can’t handle you.
"Now tell me, what do you want to eat?" Wen Mingcheng asked again.
The tone was somewhat self-assured and smug.
Then Qiao Yuxian glanced at him and said two words: "Temporarily."
Wen Mingcheng’s confident and smug expression instantly collapsed and disappeared: "???????"
"Your ’temporarily’ is really too short," he said.
Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows at him and continued eating the ice cream.
Wen Mingcheng was helpless, so he silently ordered dishes on his own, picking out what she liked to eat.
After ordering, he said, "Still mad at Yan Ting?"
Qiao Yuxian paused her ice cream-eating, turned her head to look at him, her expression somewhat cold.
Wen Mingcheng paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "He said you still haven’t been answering his calls."
"Say one more word and I’ll leave," Qiao Yuxian said.
"I won’t, I won’t," Wen Mingcheng immediately said upon seeing that she was really angry, "I won’t say it anymore. Don’t be mad, don’t leave. I won’t say it."
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him again, didn’t say anything, and continued eating her ice cream.
Wen Mingcheng watched her and didn’t dare say anything further, only sighed silently inside.
7:05, five minutes past the agreed time.
Qiao Yuxian had eaten half of the ice cream.
Someone outside pushed the door open and whispered something in Wen Mingcheng’s ear.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him and asked, "Are they here?"
Wen Mingcheng nodded.
Qiao Yuxian said, "This person is really disrespectful to you, being late."
Wen Mingcheng looked at her and said, "That’s why I said he’s a bastard."
Hearing his teeth-gritting tone, as if hating the other party to the bone, Qiao Yuxian glanced at him. Just as she was about to speak, the private room door was pushed open again.
The sound of footsteps of five or six people.....
Qiao Yuxian looked up towards the door.
Just wanting to see what kind of person would make Wen Mingcheng go to such lengths to entertain, make him so mad yet not start a fight....
Then... Gu Yanjing appeared in front of her.
Qiao Yuxian’s calm and indifferent expression instantly froze and went blank.
Not only her, but Gu Yanjing and the people around him were also stunned.
Gu Yanjing, Chu Zhengran, Lin Huai Shu, Su Qi, along with Shang Chen, all five entered the private room together.
Gu Yanjing is usually cold, with a very strong aura.
Except when he is around Qiao Yuxian, his strong aura is neutralized by her, otherwise, he is always the same.
Intimidating, making others fearful.
Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu originally came in with serious and cold auras at full blast, but as soon as they entered and saw each other.
They were all dumbfounded.
The five of them, only Gu Yanjing seemed calm.
He looked at Qiao Yuxian, who was sitting at the table, separated by one seat from Wen Mingcheng.
He watched her face turn pale with bewilderment.
He noticed the half-eaten ice cream in front of her.
Mr. Gu looked at the ice cream, and only one thought came to mind.
Eating ice cream during her period.
Little girl...
Qiao Yuxian also looked at them, and for a moment, her ears buzzed with ringing, and the sound stretched endlessly.
Only two words remained in her mind.
Bastard.
Both sides looked at each other, and a few seconds felt like an eternity, completely ignoring Wen Mingcheng standing to the side.
Briefly, Lin Huai Shu moved his head slightly, looked at Gu Yanjing, and whispered, "Yanjing, didn’t you know they captured your little sister-in-law! What do we do now?"
As soon as he spoke, Chu Zhengran and Su Qi snapped back to reality.
Chu Zhengran glanced at him, thinking: Which eye of yours sees her sitting there looking like she’s been captured.
Qiao Yuxian heard a little noise, didn’t hear what was said, but came back to her senses.
The first thing she did upon regaining her senses was to look at Wen Mingcheng.
The fierce gaze demanded an explanation from him.
Wen Mingcheng also looked at her, giving her a warm smile.
The smile was mischievously provoking.
Qiao Yuxian clenched her hand tightly under the table.
Wen Mingcheng smiled again at her and then looked at Gu Yanjing and the others: "Mr. Gu, President Chu, Mr. Lin. Long time no see."
Gu Yanjing’s gaze moved from Qiao Yuxian’s face to Wen Mingcheng.
His expression was dark, showing no emotion, hard to read.
He walked into the private room and sat opposite Qiao Yuxian.
Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu sat on either side of him.
Shang Chen and Su Qi remained standing by the door.
The two exchanged a meaningless glance, then observed the layout of the private room.
They had come to protect Gu Yanjing if a fight broke out, but now, they were baffled by the situation.
They could only observe the environment, ready to act at any time.
"Mr. Gu, I just ordered a few dishes, take a look if you want to order anything else." Wen Mingcheng placed the menu tablet on the table and turned it toward Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing glanced over the menu, it was all Qiao Yuxian’s favorites.
Gu Yanjing looked over at Qiao Yuxian again.
Since he walked into the room, she has been covering her face with one hand, tilting her head down, as if hiding and hoping to be invisible.
And with her other hand, she was using one finger to slowly nudge the ice cream away.
Trying to move it out of sight, destroy the evidence, then... deny everything.
