World Five. Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(19)
After two hours of confirmation of details, Gao Changze and Xi Lang signed the final contract.
Both of them were very interested in this cooperation, and Xi Lang put a lot of effort into suppressing the voice of the opposition within the company.
What surprised Xue Xue was that Gao Changze finally asked to make changes to the lease, and Xi Lang agreed without any objection.
"No problem." The man lowered his eyebrows. "I accept."
On their way here, Xue Xue and Gao Changze were discussing how to convince Xi Lang on this point. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed without saying a word.
However, the result was always in both of their favor.
After Gao Changze and Xi Lang spoke a few more polite words, Xi Lang suddenly said, "I've already booked a restaurant, why don't we have a meal later to celebrate?"
Gao Changze's smile froze on his face. He frowned but didn't say much.
After all, the other party has just given up the advantage, although the invitation suddenly gives people a sense of rudeness, this face should still be given.
But, Xue Xue reacted immediately.
"It just so happened that Mr. Gao does not have a schedule for the evening." She had a formulaic smile on her face. "I can send the two of you directly to the restaurant."
"Oh? Then thank Ms. Xue for your help."
Xi Lang suddenly raised his eyes, and stared at Xue Xue's peach blossom eyes. It seemed that there was a bright flame in his eyes, which gave the woman a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Xi Lang said in the next sentence: "It just so happened that I booked an extra seat this time, so Ms. Xue can have dinner with us."
This was an unexpectedly dull dinner.
Gao Changze and Xi Lang talked mostly about business matters. Occasionally, Xue Xue interjected a sentence or two and the meal was peaceful and uneventful.
But Xue Xue felt that it would not be so simple.
Gao Changze's friend had an appointment at the last moment, and the time was right when the dessert was delivered.
When Gao Changze left first, only Xue Xue and Xi Lang were left.
They looked at each other without saying anything.
They slowly walked out of the restaurant.
She doesn't know if it was her own imagination, Xue Xue always felt that Xi Lang seemed to slow down his pace deliberately, walking leisurely with his hands in his trouser pockets.
The road was only 100 meters long, but they walked for several minutes, during which no words were exchanged, nor did they make eye contact, they just walked side by side.
A tall man and a petite woman, whoever sees it, will say they were right for each other.
It was not that Xue Xue didn't notice Xi Lang's hot gaze. He restrained himself during the meal because there were other people present, but now that the two were alone, the man's gaze was completely straightforward, as if he was afraid that no one would notice.
Fortunately, no matter how long the road is, it will end one day.
"You didn't drive." Xue Xue turned her head to meet Xi Lang's gaze. "I'll call a car for you directly."
"Won't you send me?"
Xi Lang approached and caught her off guard.
Even if Xue Xue dodged in time, her cheek was still brushed by the man's lips.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"President Xi, please respect yourself."
"Self-respect?" The two words were repeated by Xi Lang, as if he had savored them in his mouth. "Xue Xue, when you slept with me, did you ever think about self-respect?"
This sentence was not Xi Lang's original intention.
However, seeing that Xue Xue's face was calm and did not fluctuate a bit because of his presence, Xi Lang could not resist the fierce anger that rose in his heart and his sharp words came out.
Just seeing the woman's face suddenly turned pale, Xi Lang's heart was filled with regret.
"I'm not"
Xue Xue ignored him and stepped forward.
Xi Lang immediately followed.
"Xue Xue, I didn't mean it just now." Xi Lang was a little anxious, this was abnormal, and he knew it himself, but Xue Xue just glanced at him lightly, which made the man's heart agitated and he couldn't care about anything else. "I just"
Xue Xue ignored his desire to talk and stop, took out the sensor key, opened the door and got in the car.
She was stopped by Xi Lang.
Xue Xue glanced at him indifferently.
"Didn't you want me to give you a ride?" The woman's voice was low, blowing into Xi Lang's ears along with the cool breeze of the night. "Go to the passenger seat."
Xi Lang was stunned.
Xue Xue took the opportunity to push the man away and slammed the door shut with a bang!
Xi Lang, who was shocked for a while, finally came to his senses. Before he could savor his ecstatic emotions, he saw from the rolled down car window that the woman was already starting the engine.
"Wait!"
When Xi Lang got into the car, he was still panting. He never thought that his reflexes would be so good, just like he was filming an action movie.
Just to get into a woman's car.
After shifting the gear neatly, turning the steering wheel, and driving the car out of the parking space, Xue Xue ignored the restless man beside her, turned on the air conditioner and radio, and focused on the road ahead.
Even if the air-conditioning was sufficient, the interior was still stuffy and uncomfortable.
Xi Lang knew that he couldn't continue like this, he had to be more proactive.
"I really didn't mean that just now." After clearing his throat, the man said. "I apologize to you, I'm sorry, I hope you don't take it to heart."
"Hmm."
Seeing Xue Xue's response, although it was only a faint sound, it still gave Xi Lang a boost of confidence.
"I've been thinking a lot these daysWhat you said, and What I said" After starting smoothly, Xi Lang's voice became clogged. "I used to be really immature and willful, I think, I should say sorry to you."
Sorry?
Xue Ning, who had sacrificed so much for Xi Lang in her last life, even lost her life, didn't seem to have heard these words with her own ears.
But just today, Xi Lang said to her twice in succession.
Is human nature really cheap? Although love can never be measured by common sense, it is not that the more you give, the more you will get, nor that you will be influenced if you spend a long time together. Xue Xue still felt the sorry was unworthy for Xue Ning.
At the same time, however, her heart was clear.
She knew how to conquer this greedy man.
The thoughts in Xue Xue's mind were running at full speed, but her silence in Xi Lang's eyes meant something else.
"I know it was my fault before But Xue Xue, I really hope we can give each other another chance"
