Chapter 24: I Can't?
Ji Xingchen took Gu Yao to a hot spring first, then went shopping and had a spa treatment.
By the end of the day, Gu Yao had become Ji Xingchen's crush. She was carrying large and small bags in her hands and listening carefully to Ji Xingchen's analysis of the origins of some high-end jewelry designs, just like Ji Xingchen's bag-carrying girl.
When it was time for dinner, Ji Xingchen booked a Chinese restaurant with a grand layout and elegant environment.
This Chinese restaurant has a semi-private room system. Two tables can be seated in one hall, but there is a screen in the middle, which indirectly protects the privacy of the guests.
Gu Yao was so tired that she slumped down on the chair and lost her attention to the ladylike image she had maintained before. "Quick, Yueyue, give me a glass of water."
Qi Yue poured a glass of water and handed it to her, then asked, "What has Lu Yanbei been busy with recently? Why haven't I seen him for a long time?"
Ji Xingchen answered the question calmly: "I'm busy with the Nanwan case. I'm in the company all day long. I can't even see him, let alone you."
Hearing Nanwan, Gu Yao sat up straight: "Isn't this the project that my dad recently approved? Mr. Lu also participated in the election?"
Ji Xingchen said "hmm" casually.
Gu Yao said: "This project is quite popular. I see that several companies in Beicheng are competing, but Lu's foundation is strong, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Qi Yue said from the side: "There is also a Tang family."
Gu Yao narrowed her eyes and leaned back, "Tsk, I'm just telling you why you called me out today. This is the purpose of love."
Although Gu Yao doesn't understand the business world, she has grown up next to Mrs. Gu, so she can always see this clearly.
Ji Xingchen tilted his head and chuckled, "Just tell me whether I can help you or not."
Gu Yao slapped the table: "Help! Of course I will help."
In this circle, all the young masters and daughters are very hypocritical, but there is only one Ji Xingchen, who shows all his happiness and anger on his face, is straightforward and frank, and will never pretend to be a snake.
She had wanted to make friends with Ji Xingchen before, but this woman was not only arrogant, but also had a bad temper. She had been rejected a lot, and Gu Yao no longer took the initiative to be shy.
Instead, he had the intention of destroying it if he couldn't get it, and he was always against Ji Xingchen.
Now that the two of them have settled their differences, although Gu Yao doesn't want to admit it, she still really wants to have Ji Xingchen as a friend.
Ji Xingchen naturally wouldn't let Gu Yaobai do this, so she took out the gift she had already prepared from her bag.
"Well, this ribbon is the same as the one on my head." Ji Xingchen pushed the gift box and coughed: "It's a sister style, Qi Yue also has one."
Gu Yao happily accepted the gift.
The waiter served the food, Gu Yao ordered a few more bottles of wine, and the three of them ate and drank.
By the second half, I was completely drunk.
Gu Yao pulled Ji Xingchen into tears: "Ugh... Do you know how much I envy you? In the whole circle of celebrities in Beicheng, you live the most free and easy life. I dream of becoming just like you.
"
After saying that, she started to pull Qi Yue's sleeve again: "Yueyue, do you know how much I envy you? You can be friends with Ji Xingchen! Every time I see you following Ji Xingchen, I will think, why is that
This person is not me! Wuwu..."
Qi Yue smiled stupidly: "That... that's right! My star is the brightest and most unique one in the sky. Do you think... think... hiccup~ Whoever wants to be her little brother can be her little brother!"
Ji Xingchen patted the two of them on the shoulders and shouted, "It doesn't matter, you two will be my right-hand man, Chen Haonan, from now on! As for that bastard Lu Yanbei, let him die!"
-
"Pfft." Fu Jinbai pursed his lips to suppress a smile, and couldn't help teasing: "I didn't expect Mr. Lu's nickname to be so...unique."
Ji Xingchen is probably the only person in the world who dares to call Lu Yanbei a bastard and tell him to die.
There were five or six people sitting in their group, all of whom were well-known figures in Beicheng. There was only a screen separating them from the table next to them.
Mr. Chen, CEO of Asia Pacific, laughed and said: "Others say that Miss Ji, a wealthy and noble girl, has a arrogant temper. From my perspective, she is much more interesting than those pretentious ladies."
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful, she should be a little too delicate. Mr. Lu is lucky." Mr. Zhang followed suit.
Mr. Lu himself, who was being discussed by them, did not even raise his eyelids, " Mr. Lu is more interested in new energy now, Mr. Chen..."
"How was that night abroad? Ah Yue, Yaoyao, you don't know, Lu Yanbei..."
Mr. Chen cleared his throat, suppressed a smile and said, "Mr. Lu, please continue."
Lu Yanbei pondered for a moment, then cooled his voice: "Asia-Pacific is now interested in new energy..."
"He has a hidden illness!"
Lu Yanbei: "..."
"Do you know? Lu Yanbei... hiccup~ he can't do it!"
The girl's sworn voice came through the screen.
"..."
There was a moment of weirdness in the air.
Fu Jinbai stood up first: "What about that? I have a meeting in the afternoon. Let's get together another day."
Mr. Xiao Chen: "Yes, my wife asked me to go home for dinner, so I will leave first. Mr. Lu, I will go to Lu's to discuss the new energy project with you in person some other time."
Lu Yanbei sat on the chair, and he was the only one left at the huge round table.
He narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly and tapped his knuckles on the table.
The person on the other side is still crying.
Ji Xingchen is an actor, and the more he talks, the more sincere he is: "Why don't I worry at all when he goes out and messes around every day? It's because he can't do it! We've been married for two years and we don't have children yet. Why? Of course it's because he can't do it."
Got it!"
Gu Yao opened her eyes wide and felt distressed: "Xingchen, your life is too miserable!"
Ji Xingchen pretended to take out a tissue and wiped his face: "He is my legal husband. Even if it doesn't work, I can only accept it."
Just when she was still trying to spread some rumors to heighten the atmosphere, the screen in front of her was slowly opened.
Ji Xingchen was stunned on the spot.
Lu Yanbei's voice sounded faintly: "I can't do it?"
