233 The Lonely Big Boss Mo
Gu Qin was so angry that he kept snatching food from Su Yuan that day and ate up her favorite tripe and potatoes, leaving nothing for her!
Thinking of this, Su Yuan finally realized that she had been out for so long and had yet to tell Gu Qin. She quickly sent a message to Gu Qin.
When Qu Lin saw Chen Yi leave the hotpot restaurant, she nudged Su Yuan’s arm and asked with a smile, “Hey! Little Yuan, you’re not being nice. Tell me honestly, what’s the situation between you and Chen Yi?”
“What’s the situation?”
“He’s interested in you! I’m very good at this,” Qu Lin said seriously. “I can’t be wrong!”
Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, then she immediately denied, “That’s impossible. I just have some interactions with him at work. You’re overthinking it.”
Seeing how calm Su Yuan was, Qu Lin suddenly began to doubt herself. “That can’t be. But the way he looked at you…”
Qu Lin’s words were interrupted by an urgent message prompt.
Mo Ting replied: [Congratulations!]
[Are you coming back tonight? Let’s celebrate.]
Su Yuan’s fingers paused for a moment before she replied: [Maybe in a few days. I’m celebrating with my friends.]
She really couldn’t leave today. After a long time, Mo Ting did not reply.
Su Yuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Mo Ting lived alone in such a big mansion and did everything by himself. He didn’t even have anyone to talk to, so he looked a little lonely…but she wasn’t the one who wanted the Cold War. He was the one who forced a kiss on her! She hadn’t said anything, but he was already ignoring her.
Su Yuan shook her head and suppressed her soft-hearted emotions.
At this moment, Chen Yi finished his call and returned. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Chen Yi’s expression seemed a little gloomier than before he went out. Could it be that something happened at his company?
Su Yuan asked, “President Chen, do you have something to do? I’ve always kept my promise to treat you to a meal. If you’re busy, you can make it up to me next time.”
“I’m fine,” Chen Yi said.
The dishes were served very quickly. Su Yuan had ordered the double hotpot. Chen Yi had gone out just now and didn’t have the time to ask him if he could eat spicy food, so she could only order the double hotpot.
After the pot was opened, Su Yuan realized that Chen Yi really couldn’t eat spicy food. Not only did he not eat spicy food, but he also had a strong aversion to spicy food. The steam from the spicy pot would even make him choke and cough.
“President Chen, why don’t you switch seats with me? I don’t have any steam here.” Su Yuan stood up after she finished speaking.
They were sitting at an eight-seater table against the wall, which only had three seats available. Originally, it was just enough for each of them to take a seat. In this situation, Su Yuan and Chen Yi could either switch seats, or…
Chen Yi said, “I can’t. The temperature of the steam is quite high. It’s a little hot when I spray it on my face. Otherwise, do you mind if I sit with you?”
This hot pot restaurant used long stools and each stool could seat two people. Therefore, what Chen Yi said sounded reasonable.
Su Yuan didn’t think much of it and nodded in agreement. Then, Su Yuan and Chen Yi sat on a stool, while Qu Lin sat by herself.
The three of them continued to eat hotpot happily.
As Qu Lin stuffed the meat into her mouth, she glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye. No matter how she looked at them, she felt strange.
Chen Yi did not have a big appetite and stopped eating after a while. In the beginning, he just watched Su Yuan eat. Seeing that she was too busy, he called the waiter to get a pair of male chopsticks and served Su Yuan.
With someone helping to boil the meat and vegetables, Su Yuan was happy to relax and directly gave Chen Yi instructions. This was how she used to direct Gu Qin when they were eating hotpot.
Qu Lin could not help but snicker. They were already so intimate, yet he said it was just a work encounter. Only a ghost would believe him!
She suddenly felt that they might really be the champion of this talent show. Even if he wasn’t the champion, he would definitely be able to take two spots among the last seven people.
After eating hotpot, Chen Yi had to return to the company, so he couldn’t send Su Yuan and Qu Lin home. The three of them separated at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.
Su Yuan called for a taxi and set the destination at the villa at the Golden Water Bay. As she had already informed aunt du in advance, aunt du came out to welcome her the moment she returned to the villa. “Madam, you’re back!”
Aunt Du chuckled and took her backpack. “Aiyo, this bag is quite heavy.”
“Aunt Du, I’ll carry it myself,” Su Yuan smiled.
Aunt Du said, “That won’t do. Madam got the promotion card today. She’s a big hero. We can’t let her carry such things.”
“Aunt Du, how did you know?” Su Yuan asked in surprise.
“Sir told me. He has been waiting for you for a long time,” Aunt Du said.
“Mo Ting’s back?”
“Yes, sir has just arrived home. Madam, please go in. Sir has also brought the Old Madam over. Then, Aunt Du pulled Su Yuan toward the villa.”
