C282 Peanut allergy

Qin Xu immediately rushed from the bar to the company, and when he arrived at the company, it was already half an hour earlier than usual.

Although in the morning when he was facing Ye Anne, he seemed to be scheming, planning, and planning, everything was in plan. But in reality, he did not know what kind of attitude he should use to deal with Ye Anne.

Although he was lured to touch Ye Anne last night, he still took the initiative in the end. It was impossible for him to act as if nothing had really happened.

Furthermore, what was even worse was that he enjoyed last night's experience a lot. His good impression of Ye Anne seemed to have increased by another level …

Therefore, he said that Ye Anne should be her woman …

This was what it meant for him to be a man.

Only, he still had doubts about Ye Anne's intention to approach him.

He had a feeling that Ye Anne was hiding something from him — — He had already decided to try to accept Ye Anne, so he did not want to be deceived and used to express his feelings … … Because of this, his wariness never subsided.

He liked Ye Anne, but he had to be wary of her.

As the two emotions intertwined, Qin Xu momentarily couldn't decide how he should react.

Qin Xu sat on his seat and was conflicted for a while, but he was still unable to come up with a conclusion. In the end, he could only temporarily decide to let nature take its course first …

Very quickly, it was time for the Qin’s to start working. The employees that were part of the CEO's office on the top floor had basically all arrived. Everyone was a little surprised to see that Qin Xu had arrived earlier than usual, but no one dared to gossip about it with the CEO. When the time came, they all immersed themselves into their work.

Qin Xu did not have a trip out today. He first finished handling the urgent mail in his mailbox, and then began to look through the plans sent up by the secretary.

His subordinates all knew the character of their new CEO, so the plans they submitted were very simple and clear. Usually, Qin Xu could write a copy in 10 minutes, but today, Qin Xu's work efficiency had obviously slowed down, and he was constantly distracted.

While looking through the documents, every few minutes, Qin Xu would glance at his phone.

His cell phone was quiet all the time. There were no calls, not even a text message. On the other hand, his office phone rang several times during the time he was on the desk, but it was always his call for instructions.

Until noon, when the phone on the desk still did not ring. Qin Xu could not help but frown.

Before last night, Ye Anne would always tease him when he had nothing to do, but after last night, the relationship between the two of them could already be considered to be semi-confirmed this morning. She actually became well-behaved and reserved.

Was this what they meant by 'not cherishing once you get it'?

Although he knew that this possibility wasn't very high, Qin Xu still couldn't help but become agitated when he thought of all of this.

Thus, for the rest of the afternoon, all the employees on the first floor found their CEO suddenly low in pressure …

When he was close to getting off work, Qin Xu's private phone finally rang.

Qin Xu looked at the caller ID, and when he saw the words "Ye Anne" on the phone screen, he couldn't help but smile.

He waited for his cell phone to ring for a while before answering.

"Are you getting off work soon?" Ye Anne's voice sounded from the other side of the phone.

In his trance, Qin Xu actually felt that this voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Just as he was in a daze, Ye Anne spoke up again: "I just called your secretary, saying that you don't have any other itineraries today, so you can get off work on time …"

"Then can we have dinner together?" Ye Anne asked with anticipation.

For some reason, Qin Xu's words brought Qin Xu back to the second floor of the bar last night. At that time, Ye Anne had leaned close to him and whispered into his ear.

Qin Xu coughed dryly, getting rid of the untimely memories in his head, and replied: "Alright."

Anyway, he got off work early today, and he really didn't have any other plans...

Ye Anne, who was on the other side of the phone, immediately became excited upon hearing it. The two of them had a date with a restaurant and time, so they ended the call.

The two of them agreed to meet at the restaurant, which was a rare opportunity for Qin Xu to get off work on time. He went to the garage to retrieve his car, and then drove himself to the restaurant.

When Qin Xu arrived at the dining hall, he was already there.

The two of them chose a window seat in the hall and sat down. The well-mannered waiter came up to them in time to serve them a menu.

This was a newly opened restaurant. Recently, the wind comment and reputation were pretty good. In order to taste something new, the two decided to meet here.

But because it was the first time the two of them were visiting this restaurant, when they were ordering, Qin Xu got the waiter to recommend them a few specialties.

Under the recommendation of the waiter, the two of them finished ordering the dishes and the wine. Before the waiter left, he casually suggested, "Oh right, our dessert chef made peanut butter cakes today. The customers that ordered earlier commented that the taste is pretty good. Would the two of you like to try some as well?"

When Ye Anne heard the three words "peanut butter", his heart felt a sharp pain as though it was a conditioned reflex. She quickly glanced at Qin Xu and said before he could open his mouth, "Then I'll add a peanut cake."

"Alright, please wait a moment." The waiter added another peanut butter cake to the menu before leaving with a smile.

Qin Xu frowned, he watched the waiter's back as he left, he slightly opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.

After Ye Anne heard about Peanut Cake from the waiter, she had been secretly observing Qin Xu's expression. She wanted to know if Qin Xu remembered that five years ago, a girl at his birthday banquet had also given him a piece of Peanut Cake, but he had casually gifted it to others.

But after Ye Anne observed him for a long time, other than seeing him frown a little, she did not see any other expression on his face.

Maybe, Qin Xu had already forgotten about this matter.

In his eyes, the peanut butter cake he gave him was the same as his feelings for him. It was exceptionally cheap and not worth mentioning …

"What are you thinking?" Qin Xu who was at the opposite side could not help but ask when he noticed her absent-mindedness.

Ye Anne came back to her senses very quickly, smiling as she replied: "Of course I'm thinking of you, I finally got to meet you officially, I'm a little excited."

After hearing Ye Anne's confession, this time, Qin Xu actually started to feel that it was somewhat enjoyable.

The two chatted nonchalantly again. As they spoke, the waiter had already brought their ordered dishes to the table.

When the waiter picked up the peanut cake on the dining car, wanting to place it in the middle of the table, Qin Xu unconsciously leaned his body backwards, hiding a little, and said: "Just put the peanut cake in front of this lady."

"Alright." The waiter respectfully replied, and then the plate of soft, soft, white and tender peanut butter cake was placed in front of Ye Anne.

After the waiter left, Ye Anne first tasted a small piece of peanut cake.

Ye Anne deliberately said to Qin Xu who was standing opposite of him: "The taste of this peanut cake is really not bad, don't you want to taste it?"

Qin Xu shook his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "If you think the taste is good, then eat more. I'm allergic to peanuts, so I can't eat this."

Luckily, there weren't many peanuts in the restaurant, and the smell was not strong enough. Otherwise, Qin Xu would definitely not be able to endure it, but even so, his throat was starting to feel uncomfortable, and even his wrist was starting to show red spots.

He didn't want to ruin Ye Anne's mood and thus didn't stop her from ordering this peanut butter cake.

"You said you were allergic to peanuts?" Hearing that, Ye Anne was startled, then asked in a daze: "When did this happen?"

"I've been very allergic to peanuts since I was young. One time, I even nearly got shocked when I was eating by mistake." As Qin Xu explained, he took out two white pills from his inside pocket of his suit and swallowed them down with the warm water.

It was the antiallergic drug he had brought with him.

Since he had become the CEO of Qin’s, a lot of meals and socialising had become essential. Just in case, he had brought along anti-allergic pills with him and took two before the meal to prevent himself from accidentally eating peanuts during the meal.

And when Ye Anne heard Qin Xu's explanation, he was completely stunned.

Qin Xu's current expression was definitely not a joke, moreover, he simply did not recognize that he was the Ye ming Xin from five years ago, so there was no need for him to lie to him at all …

However, if Qin Xu was allergic to peanuts since he was young, then why would his cousin Chu Xiaoxiao tell her five years ago that Qin Xu liked to eat peanut butter the most?

had never doubted Chu Xiaoxiao five years ago, but why would she lie to him?

Chu Xiaoxiao was well aware that she was allergic to peanuts, but she would still be shocked even when it was severe, so why did she specially suggest her to make a peanut cake for Qin Xu's birthday?

Could it be that Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to borrow her hands to poison Qin Xu?

Wrong...

Ye Anne quickly overturned this thought in her mind.

The peanut cake that she gave to Qin Xu had a very heavy aroma. Qin Xu could definitely smell it, but he definitely wouldn't eat it accidentally.

On the night of Qin Xu's birthday banquet, Chu Xiaoxiao had specially called herself into the resting area, so as to let her see the half-eaten peanut butter cake … Then, she thought that Qin Xu didn't like her present, so he underestimated her feelings …

After that, Chu Xiaoxiao used the name of reminding her again, and told her that there had been another person whom Qin Xu secretly liked. His words and actions were all hinting to her that Qin Xu had merely been using her as a substitute …

So it turns out that she would have broken all ties with Qin Xu that day, and her good cousin had even contributed quite a bit!
