Chapter 61 - Conversation

Tao Chu Liang flipped through the documents in his hands with a headache, feeling very annoyed in his heart.

In the past few days, Tao Yi Fei had been causing trouble for their Department of Logistics. Rather than saying this, it was more like looking for trouble for her.

Her figure was good, her looks beautiful, and even a man's heart would feel itchy looking at her. Xiang Chen Xi should be thinking the same thing.

Tao Chu Liang was shocked.

What was she thinking? The pain in his heart surged upward. Was he looking like a resentful woman now?

Someone knocked on the door to Department of Logistics's office.

"Come in."

"Minister! Minister, quickly take a look! The upper management has set aside the funds! " The person who came was one of her Department of Logistics's aunts, the moment she entered the door, she received great news.

When Tao Chu Liang took a look at the documents in her hands, he could not help but be stunned.

There was a slight smile on his lips.

The one who was willing to pay was not Tao Yi Fei, but Xiang Chen Xi, right? Why was he playing another game in the open and in the dark? Was he not afraid that Tao Yi Fei would come and cause trouble for him again?

"Alright, I understand. Go back and busy yourself." Tao Chu Liang smiled and nodded to the person who came, but in his heart, he was already thinking of how he should face the cold war Xiang Chen Xi when he returns home tonight.

"Ah, yes, Minister." The person paused for a moment, "Chief Qi said that you should give him a call when you have time. He has something to talk to you about, so I'll be leaving first. You're busy."

After saying that, he lightly closed the door and walked out.

Qi Qing Hao?

Tao Chu Liang frowned.

Why is he looking for me? Could it be that Xiang Chen Xi was making things difficult for him? I wonder what is going on...

Thinking about it, Tao Chu Liang picked up the phone and called Qi Qing Hao.

"Qing Hao, are you looking for me?"

"Chu Liang, are you free at noon? Can I have a meal as a gift? "

Tao Chu Liang was a little hesitant.

"Are you thinking about how to reject me?" Qiao Qing Hao laughed, "It's almost time to get off work, how about I come to pick you up later?"

"Eh? "No need, no need. Just tell me where it is and I'll go by myself."

"Chu Liang, why is it that even you look so foreign to me …"

"I'll see you later then."

After hanging up, Tao Chu Liang hesitated, considering whether he should tell Xiang Chen Xi or not.

But she put down the phone.

I won't talk to Xiang Chen Xi anymore, I don't want him to think too much into it. Furthermore, why should I tell him everything?

Tao Chu Liang shook his head, he was once again fully immersed in his work.

In the spacious and bright western dining room, a violinist played a melodious tune. The deep sound of the cello was very comfortable.

Qi Qing Hao had already been waiting inside for a while, when he saw Tao Chu Liang walking over, he hurriedly helped her pull out a chair and smiled gently.

"Thank you." Tao Chu Liang thanked him politely.

didn't know if he was being a little too sensitive, but he had a nagging feeling that the atmosphere today was a little strange.

Qi Qing Hao wasn't usually so bored, but today he kept on laughing, to the point that she felt uncomfortable.

The waiter came over and handed over the menu. Tao Chu Liang smiled and nodded at Qi Qing Hao, indicating him to head over.

Qi Qing Hao stopped trying to shirk responsibility and buried his head in choosing a few dishes, and gave them to the waiter.

"Qi Qing Hao, why are you looking for me today? Is there anything I can do for you? Or … Did Xiang Chen Xi create any trouble for you? "

"No, it's just that it's been a long time since I've had a meal alone with you. Seeing that you're busy with your work, I can't bear to see you, so I asked you to come out and relax."

"Is that really the case?" Tao Chu Liang was still a little skeptical.

"Yes!"

Tao Chu Liang was surprised to discover that the majority of the dishes were her favorite. He could not help but smile as he praised Qi Qing Hao carelessly, "Qing Hao, with how meticulous you are, your wife will definitely be blessed in the future!"

"Actually... Chu Liang, I really came out this time to find you for a reason … "

Upon hearing this, Tao Chu Liang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. So what if he said it, this time, he definitely had a request from her.

"Mm, go ahead."

After waiting for a while longer, when Tao Chu Liang was almost done eating, Qi Qing Hao seemed to have made up his mind. He clasped his hands together and leaned on the table, staring at Tao Chu Liang nervously.

"Chu Liang, it's actually like this …"

Seeing that, Tao Chu Liang put down his chopsticks and listened intently.

"Mm, go ahead."

Qi Qing Hao, who had always been straightforward, was now hesitating and hesitating. Seeing that, Tao Chu Liang could not help but smile.

"Just say what you want to say. It's okay."

"..." Be my girlfriend! " Seemingly having made a great decision, when Qi Qing Hao said this, he did not control his voice, which led a few customers to all look in his direction.

So suddenly?

Tao Chu Liang did not panic, and only felt that the situation was too sudden.

She went silent for a while, pursed her lips, and cleared her throat, "Qi Qing Hao, I … From the beginning to the end, I have always regarded you as my friend and didn't have any other thoughts. "

Qi Qing Hao was silent for a long while, then raised his head: "Is it because of him?"

"Who is he?"

"Xiang Chen Xi."

"..." "How is that possible?" The moment the words left his mouth, as if it was a conditioned reflex, Tao Chu Liang blurted out the words of rejection.

Xiang Chen Xi...

She and Xiang Chen Xi were merely entangled with each other because of some matters. She wouldn't like that type. He was dark, petty and overbearing … Sometimes a little childish...

For some reason, when she thought of this, her heart actually felt a bit of warmth, making her want to laugh.

Tao Chu Liang was a little distracted, and the atmosphere between the two became more and more awkward.

In the end, it was Qi Qing Hao who spoke first.

"Chu Liang, listen to me, maybe you do not understand me well enough right now, so you do not feel it... It doesn't matter. I can wait, and I'll use the rest of the time to prove myself. Could you please not refuse me first? Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance. "

Tao Chu Liang was a little embarrassed.

Seeing the excitement on Qiao Qing Hao's face, she didn't want to make his words too extreme.

In the end, he could only lower his head and remain silent. He did not reply.

After eating dinner, Qi Qing Hao insisted on driving her home, but was rejected by Tao Chu Liang in the end.

Gazing at Tao Chu Liang's leaving figure, Qi Qing Hao stood downstairs for a very long time as the fog in his heart grew thicker.

What exactly was the relationship between her and Xiang Chen Xi? She kept saying that this matter was between a guardian and a ward, but when Tao Chu Liang said Xiang Chen Xi, the subtle changes in the expression on her face did not escape his eyes.

The relationship between her and Xiang Chen Xi was definitely not that simple.

He had to figure out the complicated relationship between these people first and then find a chance to make a move.

It was rare to meet someone he liked, so he didn't want to give up so easily.

After making up his mind, Qi Qing Hao went home happily.
