    ?

    He came, alone.

    Xiao Shi stood up from his seat when he was nervous, but then he felt that he was exaggerating too much, as if he was welcoming the leader, so he sat back gently.

    Zhou Shaoting didn't care about her tossing, he went straight to the main seat, sat down on the chair opened by the waiter, and then nodded slightly to the woman beside him, "Hello."

    Hello¡ª¡ª

    Long time greetings.  This is by no means the first time this man has said these two words to her, but today, it sounds very unfamiliar.

    Xiaoshi held the teacup in both hands, and heard herself say politely, "Hello."

    Zhou Shaoting's eyes swept across her face, and then he took the exquisite menu brought by the waiter, flipped through it casually, and asked, "Is your boyfriend not here?"

    "He has something to do, he said he will be here later."

    Zhou Shaoting nodded, keeping his eyes on the menu, ordered a few dishes neatly, and then handed the menu to Xiaoshi.  Xiao Shi shook his head and waved his hand to decline, Zhou Shaoting then handed over the menu to the waiter.

    The waiter took it with both hands, bowed and asked: "Mr. Zhou, let's serve now, or wait?"

    Zhou Shaoting looked at the girl next to him, seeing her bored and thin appearance, and said to the waiter, "Now."

    The waiter nodded and retreated, leaving only the two of them in the huge private room.

    No one spoke, only soothing light music fell from the dome, and the whole space seemed more empty and lonely than when Xiaoshi was alone just now.

    Sometimes, silence is not nothing to say, but too much to say, but don't know where to start.

    The man sat upright, and pressed his fingers on the table; the girl held the cup in both hands, drinking tea slowly in small sips, although the water temperature had already cooled down.

    This awkward silence was interrupted by the waiter's serving and introduction from time to time: one dish, two dishes, three dishes The hot dishes were also served one after another, but the other customer hadn't arrived yet.

    Zhou Shaoting looked at his watch, it was already half past six.

    "What would you like to drink?" he asked.

    "Tea is fine."

    "Then let's eat first."

    Xiao Shi was indeed hungry, so he stopped being polite, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating some light cold dishes.  She buried her head very low and chewed slowly to relieve the depression and anxiety brought about by the powerful aura beside her.

    Zhou Shaoting watched the girl eating carefully, not letting himself make a sound. For some reason, he felt a little sore in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help falling on her fair cheeks that were sometimes drooping and sometimes covered by hair.

    Xiaoshi raised her eyes inadvertently, and found that Zhou Shaoting hadn't moved his chopsticks, but was looking at her, his eyes were calm but accurately fixed on her face.

    She suddenly felt awkward, and her face started to get hot. She forced a calm look, continued to put a piece of lettuce on the plate in front of her, and asked casually, "How are you doing in America?"

    She originally wanted to say something to relieve the awkward atmosphere.  However, before the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became weirder.

    A half-smile appeared on the man's cold face.

    very good.  Mina asked him that, and now, she actually asked him that!

    This seems to be the question he has been asked the most since returning to China.  Indeed, when he went abroad, he was a young man on the verge of ruin. Four years later, he returned home in full glory, transformed into the holding president of a multinational group, and a young talent that never appeared in the world of venture capital.  Surely everyone will feel that he has flourished in the United States, taking advantage of the right time, place and people.  However, is he really doing well?  The father who passed away suddenly, the strong and indifferent mother, the marriage that tortured each other, the seemingly incompatible partners, the intriguing business war everything made him physically and mentally exhausted.  Behind every success is the growing loneliness, confusion, and sinking.  Also, miss¡ªregretful, desperate miss.  But the person he misses so much is heartlessly flirting with others.

    Therefore, anyone can ask him this question.  But, what right does she have to ask him here nonchalantly and calmly?

    Xiao Shi looked at the side of the man's face, and for some reason, she clearly felt that there was hostility escaping from his stern brows.

    Her heart tightened, and she felt the air around her instantly drop to freezing point. She unconsciously put down her chopsticks and put her hands between her legs.

    For this man, she has always been a little scared in her heart, ever since she was his girlfriend.  He was seven years older than her, and so strong, and more importantly, she was a little accommodating in her fear.  In love, whoever is deeply involved is in a passive position.?, turned and said doubtfully: "It's strange, when Lao Han and I were parking the car, we saw that man! He should arrive at about the same time as us."

    He turned around while talking, and saw Zhou Shaoting looking at him with a serious face, with doubts in his cold eyes.

    Jin Xin immediately defended himself: "I'm not talking nonsense! Is it a suit and a silver-gray tie?"

    Really good!

    Zhou Shaoting's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the black shadow that flashed by the edge of the window, could it bethat man was peeping at his and Xiaoshi's actions?  If this is the case, then this man is not only a problem of not being aboveboard, but also has a dark psychology.  Even if he didn't peep, but he arrived early, but lied that he was late due to something, it is definitely not an act of a gentleman.

    Zhou Shaoting's eyes gradually turned cold.  Looking at it, Jin Xin felt that the temperature inside the car had dropped, so she quickly turned around and sat upright without saying a word.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
