Rong Xuan suddenly laughed in embarrassment.
"Whatever." Chen Xi said indifferently.
"Go, investigate where did they go?" Tang Hongbo expressionlessly said to Secretary Wang who was beside him.
He knew that with Rong Xuan's personality, when he saw Chen Xi again, he would definitely find all sorts of reasons to get close to her.
He could endure anything, but he absolutely could not tolerate this.
In a high-class French restaurant, Chen Xi skillfully ordered a few dishes that she liked to eat. Rong Xuan saw the familiar way she spoke and ordered dishes, they were definitely not what Duan Wenzhuo had in the past.
"Mr. Rong, you've been staring at me the entire way. Could it be that you want to eat me?" Chen Xi said.
Rong Xuan lowered his head and smiled, but there was nothing he could do. His curiosity was too strong, he just wanted to find out who she really was.
He also admitted that with Chen Xi's current personality and appearance, she was indeed quite attractive to him, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
"Why did you agree to eat with me? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Rong Xuan replied with an irrelevant answer.
Chen Xi casually replied as she wiped the tableware.
"I think those that can attend the Duan Clan's anniversary shouldn't be bad people, right?"
"Miss Chen Xi, but you will think about it, but you still haven't told me, why did you agree to have dinner with me?" Rong Xuan asked.
Chen Xi said as he looked at him.
"Weren't you going to treat me to a meal?" She replied quickly.
Rong Xuan laughed.
Miss Chen Xi is right, that's right, can I call you Xi Xi?
Chen Xi was startled, and continued to ask.
"Mr. Rong, I don't think we're that familiar with each other yet?"
This time, Rong Xuan was startled. He did not expect that he would actually disagree.
He smiled awkwardly.
"I was rude."
"It's nothing, but you can call me by my name." Chen Xi said softly.
"Alright, then you don't need to call me Mister. Just call me by my name." Rong Xuan said.
Chen Xi vaguely felt that he seemed to have returned to three years ago. Back then, he also had this kind of expression, this kind of scene.
She and him, don't call him Boss Rong, just call him by his name outside. At that time, she really thought that he was helping her as a friend from the bottom of his heart.
Unexpectedly, not long after, he schemed against her.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing her in a daze, Rong Xuan could not help but ask.
"It's nothing, I just remembered a person."
"What kind of person is worth thinking about?" Rong Xuan laughed and asked.
"An unimportant person." Chen Xi looked at him and said indifferently.
Actually, to her, Rong Xuan was not an important person, at least for now.
Rong Xuan looked at him and suddenly asked.
"I hear you grew up in France?"
Chen Xi nodded and looked at him. Was he trying to probe her?
"Yeah." Chen Xi raised her guard.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you speak French. It's so good."
"You flatter me. I have also heard that Rong Xuan has a good relationship with our CEO. I wonder if that is true?" Chen Xi deliberately asked.
Rong Xuan lowered his head and laughed.
"Where did you hear this rumor?"
Chen Xi looked into his eyes and said seriously.
"Am I wrong? This is what Duan Wenyu told me. "
Seeing Rong Xuan startled, she immediately knew, he was definitely related to Duan Wenyu.
"So it's her, but what she said isn't wrong. Before I was ten years old, my relationship with your CEO was really pretty good." Rong Xuan said.
"Is that so? "What about now?" she asked casually.
"Right now, I won't tell you." Rong Xuan suddenly laughed sinisterly.
Chen Xi laughed and did not speak any further.
"Chen Xi, you have always been in France. Have you never come to China?" Rong Xuan asked again.
"I'm back now, aren't I?" Chen Xi cut a piece of beef and put it into her mouth.
"Actually, the more I look at you, the more you look like my friend. You truly resemble me too much." Rong Xuan seemed to be muttering to himself.
Chen Xi could not help but laugh bitterly in her heart.
If he really treated her as a friend, she wouldn't have become like this, right?
However, everything was just a guess. She still did not know what he was thinking.
"Is that so? If you're your friend, why do you look so guilty? " Chen Xi asked.
Rong Xuan was shocked.
"Yes, yes?"
"Yes, what did you do to let her down?" Chen Xi finally asked.
Rong Xuan, on the other hand, suddenly withdrew the smile on his face and returned to his original appearance.
he asked coldly.
"Who the hell are you?"
Chen Xi pretended to be shocked and asked.
"I, I am Chen Xi ah, you, why do you ask this?"
"Then why do you care so much about her?"
"I didn't. You were the one who kept saying it. Besides, I don't even know who your friend is." Chen Xi said with a cold voice.
Rong Xuan narrowed his eyes and sized her up, but indeed, he did not see anything from her body.
How could there be two strangers who looked the same in this world?
"I'm sorry, I must have scared you." Rong Xuan said apologetically as he changed to his previous gentle body.
"No, I just think that your friend should be pretty good. Seeing that you care so much about her, I can't help but laugh." Chen Xi said.
"Maybe. I don't know how she's doing now." Rong Xuan said indifferently.
"With you thinking so much about her, I think she must be living a good life." Chen Xi said lightly.
"Hopefully." Rong Xuan laughed.
"Oh right, I gave you flowers today, do you like them?" Rong Xuan suddenly asked.
"Flower? What flower? " Chen Xi looked at him strangely.
"Didn't you get it? "Rose, I picked it out myself. How is it? Do you like it?" Rong Xuan said in a flaunting tone.
Chen Xi finally reacted.
"So, the other one was from you?" She had even wrongly blamed Tang Hongbo, thinking that he had intentionally sent her two bundles, in order to mock her.
"Is there anyone else who would like to give you flowers?" Rong Xuan asked.
"No, you're thinking too much. Flower, I really like to thank you." Chen Xi said.
"That's good."
The first time they tested each other, they could not get any useful information from each other.
Chen Xi felt that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so she didn't believe that he wouldn't show her tail.
Rong Xuan also thought the same.
He ate like an expert in battle. When Rong Xuan sent her back, he also made an appointment to meet her again. Chen Xi happily agreed.
Chen Xi thought that this chaotic day had finally ended. However, things were obviously not that simple.
The pitch black night, the biting cold wind, and a familiar figure with a license plate suddenly entered his vision.
She sent Rong Xuan away and walked towards the figure.
"Why are you here?" Chen Xi walked in front of Tang Hongbo and asked in a questioning tone.
Tang Hongbo looked at her, then looked at the direction of the sportscar that had long since left.
"Why are you eating with him?" Tang Hongbo asked with the same questioning tone.
Chen Xi looked at him bored.
"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Xi turned and left, but Tang Hongbo grabbed his wrist and pulled her back.
Chen Xi looked at him with abnormal calmness, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Is there anything else the CEO can say?"
Tang Hongbo couldn't stand her calmness and even spoke to him in such a flat tone.
Her distant and indifferent attitude made him feel that he had no place in her heart at all.
"Don't call me CEO." Tang Hongbo suddenly said with a cold voice.
Chen Xi ignored him, as if she wanted to challenge his bottom line on purpose.
"CEO, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Tang Hongbo took a deep breath, as if he was trying very hard to calm his angry heart.
But in the end, it was to no avail. He forcefully turned her around, pressing her against the door, forcing her to ask.
"Why did you go out to dinner with him?" Tang Hongbo's voice was thick with jealousy.
Chen asked as he watched him push himself against the door.
"What is it? CEO, do you still want to use force against me? "
When Tang Hongbo heard it, he immediately thought of the scene that happened today in the office.
He froze, then let go of her.
Although he was jealous, he didn't want to hurt her. He told himself that he should slowly come over.
But when he saw her out eating with another man, he couldn't help but feel angry.
He wished with all his heart that she would belong to him alone and that he could put her in a good place …
"I …" Tang Hongbo suddenly didn't know how to explain so she could understand that she didn't want her to get too close to Rong Xuan.
She knew that he had seen Rong Xuan bringing her back, and in the end, she was not willing to hurt him too much.
"Who I'm eating with doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, but it's just a meal." Chen Xi explained in a euphemistic manner.
It would have been fine if she had gone to eat with someone else, but the other party was Rong Xuan, which he couldn't afford to do.
"There won't be a next time." Tang Hongbo deeply sighed, and said with a domineering tone.
"On what basis?" Chen Xi said.
"Based on..." Tang Hongbo originally wanted to say that she was his wife, but the words that came out of his mouth were unable to come out.
He knew that the current Chen Xi was different from him. He could not use force, nor could he use softness.
But he loved her, no doubt about it.
"Forget it, don't interact with him anymore. He's not a good person." Tang Hongbo could only helplessly explain in the end.
Chen Xi snorted.
"If he isn't a good person, then CEO, are you a good person?"
"At the very least, I won't lie to you."
Chen Xi's expression became cold, and she thought about the things she had done to her that she had concealed from her previously.
"Is that so? You wouldn't lie to me, that's not necessarily true. "
"I've never lied to you." Tang Hongbo said firmly.
"Are you lying to me? God only knows. Alright, it's already so late. I'm going back to rest." Chen Xi turned around.
"Did I tell you that before my wife disappeared, she signed a consent form for abortion? On the list with the family members signing, it was Rong Xuan." Tang Hongbo said calmly from behind her.
