Chapter 2210 The Strange Atmosphere at the Dinner Table
Yipinxuan.
Elegantly decorated private room.
At a medium-sized square table, Zhang Minghui and Tan Qingqing sat opposite Mo Ziyi and Shi Xi respectively.
Shi Xi flipped through the menu in front of him and said to Tan Qingqing, "Miss Tan, just order whatever you like. I'm treating you to lunch today, and so is Special Assistant Zhang. Don't be polite to me."
At this point, she paused slightly and turned to look at Mo Ziyi, who had a cold expression beside her, with a smile, "Even if I don't have the money to pay, there is still Ziyi, right?"
"……Um."
Mo Ziyi's eyes lightly scanned the menu in Tan Qingqing's hand, and the list of dish names that he almost blurted out turned into an indifferent 'hmm' on his lips.
"Qingqing, since Zi Yi has spoken, don't save money for them, just order whatever you want."
Zhang Minghui said with a smile, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange.
He stretched out his long finger, pointed at the menu and said to the service, "This, this... and this..."
What he ordered was what Tan Qingqing liked to eat.
"Zi Yi, let's take this...you like to eat..."
"It's up to you to decide."
Mo Ziyi reached out and took out a cigarette and casually asked Shi Xi, "You don't mind if we smoke, do you?"
"I don't mind, men's smoking tastes better."
Shi Xi smiled charmingly, ordered a few more dishes, and saw Mo Ziyi giving Zhang Minghui a cigarette.
When she was about to light a fire, she said with a smile, "Zi Yi, I'll light a fire for you."
"cough……"
Across the way, Tan Qingqing suddenly coughed, and the hand that was holding the corner of the menu hurriedly covered her mouth.
Mo Ziyi frowned, and the expression on his face changed slightly. Zhang Minghui had already reached out to Tan Qingqing's back and patted her back.
"Are you catching a cold? There's a big temperature difference between morning and night these days."
"fine."
Tan Qingqing shook her head, and Zhang Minghui took back his hand.
"Do you still have a fever?"
A cold voice sounded from the opposite side.
Tan Qingqing stopped coughing and raised her eyes to look at the man's handsome and picturesque features, which were as cold as if they were covered with a thin layer of frost.
She smiled and said, "I no longer have a fever. Sister Momo went to give me a half-hour massage last night."
"Ms. Qin, don't be careless about having a fever. Let's go to the hospital to see a doctor after lunch later."
Shi Xi smiled with concern on his face and said to Mo Ziyi, "Miss Tan is sick. Ziyi, you just have to be patient and stop smoking. After dinner, you can smoke again when you go back."
"Um."
Mo Ziyi seemed to particularly listen to Si Xi's words.
She just said that he would pay if she had no money, and he agreed.
She asked him what to order and he let her decide.
When he wanted to smoke, he asked her for advice. When he heard her say not to smoke, he actually put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.
"Qingqing, it will be better if you drink some water. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a cold? I will accompany you to the hospital later."
"No, I'm fine."
Because of Tan Qingqing's sudden cough, Mo Ziyi stopped smoking.
After the food was served, Shi Xi thoughtfully put food on the plate in front of Mo Ziyi. He said lightly, "You can eat it yourself and don't worry about me."
"Tees Assistant Zhang doesn't have a girlfriend yet, does he?"
Seeing Zhang Minghui opposite Tan Qingqing picking up food, Shi Xi asked with a smile.
Zhang Minghui was startled by her question.
His eyes flickered before he answered, "No."
"I have several good friends who are very good. No matter their background, character, appearance or education, I have no choice. I will introduce you to them later."
Shi Xi came from City A, which is also the imperial capital, and her father was close to the president.
She was able to get close to Mo Ziyi not just because of her status as a popular movie star, but more because of her father.
Zhang Minghui politely refused, "Thank you, Miss Shi, for your kindness, but I still like to meet you by myself."
"I didn't realize that Special Assistant Zhang is such a romantic person. You don't have someone you like, right?"
When saying this, Shi Xi deliberately glanced at Tan Qingqing beside him.
Tan Qingqing did not ignore her ambiguous and suggestive words.
A flash of ridicule flashed through his mind, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the food.
As soon as the chopsticks touched the dish, another pair of chopsticks hit her, directly holding her chopsticks down. The man's deep voice was slightly overbearing, "You can't eat spicy food now."
"..."
Shi Xi's expression changed slightly.
His eyes fell on the chopsticks that Mo Ziyi pressed against Tan Qingqing's chopsticks. Their chopsticks had all been eaten.
It's equal to, indirect kiss.
This made her feel jealous, but she was indeed a popular actress. No matter how jealous or angry she felt, she still smiled gently and considerately, without any hint of jealousy.
"Miss Qin, Zi Yi is right. You should not eat spicy food when you are sick. It is better to eat something lighter. Zi Yi, don't be angry. Miss Qin is no longer the little kid who followed you around. She’s grown up now…”
"Brother Ziyi, I just don't want to eat."
Tan Qingqing's eyes swept across Si Xi's face and looked at Mo Ziyi, who had a stern expression.
His chopsticks were still pressed against hers and he didn't let go.
"..."
Mo Ziyi didn't look at Si Xi, but looked at Tan Qingqing with deep eyes.
Hearing her words of concession, he took away the chopsticks.
Picking up the dishes from another plate and putting them into her bowl, "Did Tongtong tell me whether I will give you a massage tonight?"
"Sister Tongtong will go tonight if she has time."
Tan Qingqing hesitated for a moment before answering.
In fact, Gu Zhitong has to work the late shift tonight and has no time to go to her house.
She was going last night, and it was Mo Ziyi who asked her to go.
An hour later, Mo Ziyi asked Zhang Minghui to accompany Tan Qingqing to the hospital, and then asked Gu Zhitong to measure her fever.
After explaining, he got into the car with Shi Xi.
"Brother Xiaohui, please take me home. My cold is gone."
"Do you really don't need to go to the hospital?"
Zhang Minghui asked worriedly.
Tan Qingqing shook her head, "It's really not necessary."
"Well, if you don't go to the hospital, will you have anything to do when you go home?"
"ah?"
Tan Qingqing's clear apricot eyes blinked, thinking about his intention in asking this question.
Zhang Minghui smiled softly, "If you have nothing to do this afternoon, can you do me a favor?"
"Brother Xiaohui, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Choose a birthday gift for my aunt. Her birthday is coming soon, and Zi Yang and Qing Huan will be back on that day."
Wen Ziyang and Wen Qinghuan are the twins of his aunts Jing Xiaocha and Wen Jin. Wen Ziyang is the elder brother and Wen Qinghuan is the younger sister.
Hearing that they were coming back to celebrate Jing Xiaocha's birthday, Tan Qingqing showed a bright smile and said with emotion, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ziyang and Qinghuan in four years."
"Yes, you have all grown up in four years."
Zhang Minghui's mouth curled up with warmth, and his eyes also glowed with warmth. He raised his eyebrows and said to her, "Accompany me to buy gifts first, and then we will go to my aunt's house later. Last night, my aunt asked you and Uncle Qin to go back." I’ve been to city A. When will I come back? I’ll invite you to my house for dinner.”
