"This is the Dix Restaurant, I don't want to continue this fight with you, please leave." It wasn't easy for her to summon the courage to order him to leave, and she was even more tenacious than before.
She didn't need to be afraid of him, but he was too troublesome and gave her a headache.
Looking at the straight and upright Zuo Zixian in front of him, a sliver of surprise flashed across the man's eyes. This was completely different from when he first saw him. It was as if Zuo Zixian had experienced a huge change in his family, and was no longer the same as before. He now had an overwhelming presence, and although it couldn't be said that he was shocked, but he had a whole new level of respect for him.
However, he already knew that she wasn't weak at all, so he wasn't too surprised. It was just that he was a little disappointed that she seemed to have used all of her sharpness on him.
He couldn't help but think that they were going to continue to fight like this and not be able to talk properly.
Or could it be that his way of dealing with her was truly wrong?
However, this thought only lasted for a few seconds before it was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Konnie, are you in there? I have something to talk to you about. " It was the voice of Tabolte, and Zuo Zixian remembered that he had asked her out to talk about hiring.
She nervously looked at Ling Yiheng, who was standing in front of her. His pair of beautiful black eyes revealed a hint of interest, as if he was waiting to see what she would do next.
Zuo Zixian knew that it was impossible for Ling Yiheng to be willing to hide, and if he actually made this request, he would seem like he was afraid of being a thief.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't think of a way to keep Tabolte from finding it. In the end, he could only graciously run over and open the door.
"Konnie, why did you take so long …" Before Tabolte could finish her sentence, she saw Ling Yiheng standing inside.
She was surprised, but her expression was also a little exaggerated. "Director Ling …" "Why are you here?"
It was already past 9 in the evening, and even if he wanted to talk about business matters, he wouldn't do it at this time. Furthermore, the door to Zuo Zixian's office was shut tight, which made people feel suspicious.
Luckily, Zuo Zixian reacted fast enough, he immediately smiled and said: "Tabolte, Boss Ling just got off the plane, he specially came to discuss business with me, his company wants to represent our new wine."
When she said this, even she felt guilty, afraid that Ling Yiheng would not give her face and expose her. When that happened, she wouldn't be able to hide anything from Tabolte.
The biggest problem was that if Tabolte knew anything, even his mother in Boston would know.
Fortunately, for her explanation, Ling Yiheng only smiled faintly, with his lips curled up into a smile that was as beautiful as a demon's. It attracted Tabolte's attention, but she didn't ask any further questions.
However, she did not ignore the blush on Zuo Zixian's cheeks and the faint red mark on his neck, causing her to have some doubts.
Seeing Ling Yiheng here, Tabolte naturally decided not to discuss the recruitment with her. She just placed the documents on Zuo Zixian's table and said goodbye to them and left.
After seeing Tabolte walk out of the door, Zuo Zizhen let out a sigh of relief, almost collapsing on the spot.
Ling Yiheng looked at this girl who seemed to have taken off a big rock. His expression became stiff, "You don't want others to know about your relationship with me?"
He was referring to the unmarried couple, but Zuo Zixian misunderstood him, and immediately sneered: "Know what? You know I sold myself to you to save the winery? Or do you know that you clearly have a fiancée, yet you want me to passively act as a third party? "
Ling Yiheng's face immediately darkened, "Do you really have to go against me like this?"
Although he was angry with her, he did not like her attitude, and especially he hated her aggressive attitude.
"I'm not going to go against you. You're asking for trouble. If you don't want to continue fighting, the door is there, so please leave as soon as possible. " Zuo Ziwen's face was as cold as ice, and his tone was merciless.
She was probably the only person in the world who could order people like Ling Yiheng to leave again and again.
She had thought he would be tired now that things had come to this point. At least he would leave today and let her rest for a while. But she didn't expect that not only was he not planning to leave, he was even preparing to continue wasting time with her.
"Come eat with me." It was as if he hadn't heard her words at all. His tone was commanding.
Zuo Zizhen suspected that he misheard, or something was wrong with his head. In their present state, did he really think she would go to dinner with him?
She went straight to the table to organize the documents that she had not yet processed. Without raising her head, she rejected them. "If you want to eat, go eat by yourself."
She did not want to eat face to face with him. If she did, she would not be able to resist cursing at him or else she would not be able to eat anything.
After working all day, she was already tired enough to not want to deal with this troublesome man.
But Ling Yiheng didn't fly all the way to France to hear her say these words of rejection.
"I want you to come to dinner with me today." His tone was impassive, and he stood in front of her again.
Hearing the sound coming from above his head, Zuo Zixian felt a headache coming on, not knowing why he kept pestering her. If they kept pestering him like this, there would be no end to it, it would only make her hate him more and more.
She bit her lip, raised her head again, and looked at him firmly. "You're not leaving? Then I'll go, if you'll excuse me. If you get caught by the security guards, don't blame me for not reminding you. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at the items on her table to confirm that she had not missed anything. Then, she picked up the handbag that was placed beside her and prepared to leave.
But how could Ling Yiheng let her escape so easily?
As soon as she took the bag, he grabbed her free hand with such force that it made her frown in pain.
"Let go."
"You go eat with me, I'll let you go."
His domineering look infuriated Zuo Zixian half to death, and he wished he could curse him to disappear on the spot.
However, the disparity in power between a man and a woman was too great. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from his grasp. Instead, her wrist felt more and more painful from the grip.
"I don't want to go, don't you understand? Must you force them to do as you please? " She really regretted her decision to go crazy and ask for his help. Now, it was simply a huge problem.
Seeing her pained expression, the man's heart softened and his hands relaxed.
While he was still stunned, Zuo Zixian took the opportunity to pull out his hand, and wanted to rush out of the door.
However, Ling Yi Heng was even faster. He rushed to the door and pressed his body against it, standing in front of her like a door god.
Zuo Zixian tried his best to suppress his anger, and his gaze turned frighteningly cold, "Move aside, let me go home."
However, he did not move at all. It was as if his entire body was fixed on the door, and he was clearly acting like a scoundrel.
Zuo Ziwen's patience and temper were almost completely worn out by him, but right now, he didn't want to compromise with this bastard's evil force.
She turned her head to look at the closed window and hesitated.
However, her thoughts were immediately seen through by the man in front of her. She lightly pursed her lips and said with a gloomy tone, "You'd better not think of going out through the window. Otherwise others will definitely see the embarrassed young miss Zuo."
The meaning behind his words was that he would not let her go so easily.
Zuo Zixian was angered by his words, but he also knew that arguing with him now wouldn't do any good, and he wouldn't take advantage of it either.
She held back her anger and had no other choice. She gritted her teeth and decided to delay the attack.
"Let me out first, and I'll go have dinner with you. But first, we'll say that we'll only go to the place near my home, and not far away."
The offer wasn't too excessive, but she was thinking that there weren't many restaurants around her house right now. The most famous Italian restaurant had already been booked up and was packed to the brim, making it impossible to enter.
As for the other restaurants around him, they would be closed before 10 o'clock. Moreover, it was not something that a person like him would like. In the end, it would be as she had thought, she would be unable to eat anything and would have to let her go home.
The man looked at her meaningfully. That gaze made Zuo Zixian slightly shocked, as if he wanted to see through all of her little thoughts and tricks.
He agreed to her request and allowed her to get into his car.
He had told Zhou Heng to stop the car so that he could travel in Strasbourg.
Zuo Zizhen didn't expect him to be so well-prepared, even she couldn't drive her own car, but since he had already promised her, she could only endure for now.
As they drove, the atmosphere was very quiet. It was as if the two of them had a tacit understanding, neither of them spoke a word.
Zuo Zixian had worked all day and was drowsy in the silence of the car. However, before she could fall asleep, the car had already stopped.
"We're here, get off." The man's voice, as enchanting as heavenly music, came from beside her. She then opened her tired eyes in a daze.
It was a restaurant on the corner of the street, more like a small restaurant than a restaurant. The front of the restaurant was only 50 square meters, including the kitchen.
Zuo Zixian suddenly remembered that this restaurant was opened only last year. It used to be a watchmaker's shop, but because the owner was sick, it was sold out. In the end, it went to the owner of this small restaurant and sold real French snacks.
She didn't expect that …
He looked at Ling Yiheng with some surprise, as he had never expected that he would come to this kind of restaurant to eat.
However, facing her gaze, he calmly walked out of the car and strode over to the window to look at the menu.
