On the other end of the phone, she could not hear what the Aunt Wang was saying at all. Only when the Aunt Wang's voice increased by a few decibels did she regain her senses.
"Huh?"
"Miss, did you forget that today is the Winter Solstice? Dinner's already been prepared. When are you coming back? "
She wasn't sure if she would be able to return after seeing Fu Yi. "I …"
"Miss, it's snowing heavily outside again. Don't drive by yourself, I'll get Old Yellow to pick you up!" Aunt Wang said as she looked at the snow outside the window.
"Um, Aunt Wang," she decided, "I have an appointment tonight, you guys can eat. Don't wait for me, I'm sorry!"
She hung up and walked over to the man who had been waiting for her for three hours.
Her gaze never moved away as he watched her approach, but Chu Mengyao didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"I'm sorry!" Chu Mengyao realized that as long as she was in front of Fu Yi, her heartbeat would always accelerate, and even her breathing had become hurried.
Fu Yi looked at her, he was no longer as aloof and cold as he was in the past, instead there was an additional trace of gentleness in his voice, as he said, "You haven't eaten dinner, if you truly want to apologize, then let's eat!"
"En, alright!" Chu Mengyao nodded. She didn't know why, but the feeling Fu Yi gave her today was a little strange!
The two of them walked toward the car park side by side, but the atmosphere between them was just too awkward. Chu Mengyao sneaked a glance at him, and then asked: "You, what do you want to eat?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet!"
Chu Mengyao didn't say anything, waiting for him to think it over and tell him.
She followed him to his car. "Haven't you thought about it yet?" she asked.
"Yes!"
"Then let's go out and take a look!" Actually, she didn't know what to eat, but she still needed to eat. As for what to eat, she didn't care. It was fine as long as he was here!
"Are you sure you want to invite me?" Fu Yi looked at her and asked.
"Yes, I'm sure!" She nodded.
"Don't regret it!" Fu Yi looked at her, a smile flashing past his eyes, "Then, let's go to our most expensive restaurant!"
In an instant, the awkward atmosphere vanished without a trace. The two looked at each other and started laughing.
The Winter Solstice was the coldest day of the year. With the snow falling, the Winter Solstice became even colder!
They finally found a restaurant that was closer to them.
She looked at the menu in her hands and thought about how a certain person had just been discharged from the hospital and had already ordered a few relatively light dishes, as well as a light lamb soup pot! He then looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Do you want to take a look? What else do you need?"
"I'll take these!" He took a sip of tea and said.
Chu Mengyao handed the orders over to the waiter and the two of them drank their tea.
"Young Master Fu …" She played with the mosquito in her hand and asked, "Are you alright? Did the doctor agree that you had been discharged? "
She remembered that some alcoholic man had only woken up from his coma yesterday afternoon after she had entered the ward. Now that he was in front of her, was he alright?
"Tomorrow morning, early flight to Australia."
Chu Mengyao looked at him, lowered her head and drank a mouthful of water, then said indifferently: "Work is important, but the body is the real deal!"
KO Group's subsidiary companies all over the world, travel was a common occurrence for him, but with his current body, could he really travel abroad?
"Not work, but Christmas!" He looked at her.
Chu Mengyao quickly swept a glance at him, then lowered his head. She used the water to conceal the disappointment in her eyes.
"You? Accompany your girlfriend? " Although Chu Mengyao knew that it had nothing to do with who he was going to accompany, and nothing to do with whether he had a girlfriend or not, she still felt a little pain in her heart.
Fu Yi looked at Chu Mengyao, who had her head lowered, and the expression in her eyes became deeper.
At this time, the waiter brought the lamb pot over. Chu Mengyao looked up and said with a relaxed expression, "Young Master Fu, the dishes are here. Eat quickly!"
Fu Yi put down the cup in his hand, "Go and accompany my mother, she's in Australia."
Book Sword, Chu Mengyao's painful heart had been healed.
"I will be back on New Year's Day," Fu Yi continued.
Chu Mengyao drank the soup dressed as she did not respond to him. After the meal, although the two did not talk much, the atmosphere was very good.
After paying, Fu Yi consciously took out her card and handed it over, but was stopped by Chu Mengyao, and said: "You said it as I asked."
Fu Yi pulled down her hand that was holding his, and said: "When I return, please invite me again!"
She quickly retracted her hand due to the scorching heat of her palm. After paying, just as they were about to leave, Chu Mengyao's phone rang.
"Miss, where are you?" Just as he connected to the phone, Aunt Wang's anxious voice came out.
Chu Mengyao was startled for a moment, and then said: "I'm still outside. I think I'll have to wait a while before I can go back."
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the traffic on the road was beginning to be congested.
"That's good. Old Yellow just came back and said that there was a car accident on Xinhua Road. Now that it's blocked, I don't think we'll be able to get through in a few hours!" Aunt Wang's heart was finally at ease. She heard Old Yellow say that Xinhua Road was in a car accident, but she was scared.
Xinhua Road was the only way to get back to her villa.
"Miss!" It's cold outside now, so stop driving and find a place to rest first. Don't freeze.
Now that she had a home to herself that she couldn't go back to, this made her depressed!
"What happened?" Fu Yi saw that her expression was not very good and asked.
"Mmm, it's fine!" She put the phone back in her bag.
"I'll send you back!"
"Alright, thank you!" Chu Mengyao could only state Ai Ting's home address.
Fu Yi had sent it to her before, so he knew where her house was. The current address was not the same as the last time, hence he asked: "Did you change the house?"
Chu Mengyao followed her into the car. After fastening his seat belt, she said, "No, it's a friend's home."
Fu Yi's face instantly darkened, "Why aren't you returning to your own home?"
She was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at him. Seeing the man's face darken, she quickly explained, "She's my best friend. Her family …"
Because of the heavy snow, the cars travelled very slowly. Furthermore, there was a traffic jam, so by the time he arrived at Ai Ting's house, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Chu Mengyao bade farewell to him, straightened out her coat, got off the car, and went to Ai Ting's door. After pressing the doorbell for a long time, no one came to open the door. Chu Mengyao could only call Ai Ting.
"Tingting, where are you?"
"Mengyao?" Ai Ting's voice sounded strange.
"That's me. When are you coming back?"
"Me? I... Not tonight. "
When Ai Ting spoke, she seemed to be suppressing something, and then she hurriedly hung up.
That... What should I do? Chu Mengyao looked at his phone and kept on looking at it speechlessly. Finally, she could only choose to stay in a hotel!
She hurried downstairs. The snow outside seemed to be getting heavier, and the cold wind made her shiver. As she walked out of the neighborhood, she suddenly realized that the cool Ferrari was still parked there.
This...
Tonight, due to the weather and time, it would be an aerial disaster if she wanted to take a taxi. She was so cold that she directly ran to the front of the car and knocked on the window.
When Fu Yi looked over, he was already self-consciously sitting on the passenger seat. With an embarrassed expression, he said, "Young Master Fu, you can do it well. Take me to a nearby hotel!"
Fu Yi looked at her blankly. Was she seducing him?
Chu Mengyao looked at him, then suddenly remembered that the first person she took care of was Yue Yang, who seduced him to get a room. Seeing his reaction, she guessed that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Um, my best friend is not coming back tonight! There was a car accident on my road, and I still can't go back. "
The smile that was on Fu Yi's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression revealed traces of awkwardness. Starting the car, the interior of the carriage became quiet on the way. When the car stopped, Chu Mengyao got off the car and saw the name of the inn.
He was stunned speechless! This —
The first time she'd seduced him, this was the hotel she'd come to. Why did he bring her to this hotel again?
"What is it? Won't you go in? " Fu Yi parked the car, and when he got down, he saw that she was still standing there, with his face completely red from the cold. He walked over and pulled her hand, and led her in.
Chu Mengyao looked at Fu Yi, and without leaving a trace, she pulled her hand out, and shouted, "Young Master Fu!" Did he misunderstand something?
She looked at him worriedly, "I-I can just go in by myself. It's getting late, you should go back quickly!" "Bye bye!"
Then, he rushed into the hotel.
The corner of Fu Yi's mouth raised into a wry smile, was he that terrifying? Or did she hate him so much?
The entrance to the hotel was empty, there was not even a place to block the wind, and Fu Yi quickly returned to the car. The phone rang, Chu Mengyao?
"Young Master Fu …" Can you be a good person for once? "I …"
Fu Yi once again walked into the hotel. Just as he walked in, he saw her small body standing at the front desk with a helpless look on his face. Whenhe saw him enter, she immediately waved his hand, saying, "Here, here!"
When the staff at the front desk saw Fu Yi, they immediately bent down respectfully and smiled: "President Fu, hello!"
Chu Mengyao looked at him in shock. Could he be a regular customer here? But a man like him was rich and powerful and handsome, and they knew he was normal.
Chu Mengyao looked at him with an embarrassed expression, then lowered her head and stammered, "I-I lost my identity card, about that …"
Without my identification, the staff didn't open a room for me. That means I don't have a place to sleep tonight!
"Can I borrow your ID?" After saying that, his face turned completely red.
He thought that the employee had only realized what had happened after looking at the two of them, and quickly apologized, "President Fu, I'm really sorry. We didn't know that this young lady was your friend, I'll get a room for her right now."
"No need!" The aloof Fu Yi directly rejected him without even looking. He was very narrow-minded. He still remembered the way he fled just now after using up his beautiful eyes.
Ah? Chu Mengyao was puzzled. What did he mean?
"Let's go!" Fu Yi did not speak anymore, and directly ignored her questioning gaze, and took the lead to walk towards the elevator.
Woo woo!" God, what do you mean?
Chu Mengyao had no choice but to follow along, and ask as she chased: "But if I don't get a room, what do I do tonight?"
Fu Yi's long legs were very fast, and when Chu Mengyao twisted her ankle at noon, her bare feet began to ache, and with the addition of the fact that she was still dressed in the Heaven's Abyss robe, she quickly lost a certain distance to Fu Yi.
