Zhou Ruo knew that their views conflicted when he saw He Xianmo's expression.
So she ended the topic unilaterally, "Are there any other good Chinese restaurants in London? Can you recommend them? I'll give them a try next time."
He Xianmo could feel that Zhou Ruo was deliberately changing the topic, but it was difficult for him to recover from the shock and surprise immediately, and he answered casually.
After this brief conversation, Zhou Ruo felt more and more that he and He Xianmo were not the same kind of people. Fortunately, they were not in love, otherwise they would have parted ways in less than three days due to different values.
The relationship between people is so magical. Two people who are so physically compatible are completely opposite in concept.
No wonder so many people suffer from love.
Zhou Ruo has always been very tolerant, and she will not impose her views on others. If they work together, they will break up. There is no need to waste words and energy on convincing others.
He Xianmo and Zhou Ruo had the same attitude.
If she can't talk deeply, she can talk shallowly. She has always been comfortable in social situations. As long as she wants to, she can chat with anyone without interruption.
Halfway through the meal, He Xianmo's cell phone rang - his cell phone was placed on the dining table, buzzing and vibrating loudly. Zhou Ruo glanced subconsciously and saw that the call was from his mother.
"I'm going to take a call." He Xianmo said to Zhou Ruo, then picked up the phone and headed to the second floor.
Zhou Ruo didn't mind, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of rice cake on the plate.
The rich red sauce is glutinous and elastic, and quite delicious.
The dish He Xianmo ordered was pork ribs rice cake, which is a specialty of Haicheng area. Zhou Ruo had never eaten it before.
When she ate it today, she quite liked the texture of this flat rice cake, so she ate several pieces.
I don’t know if He Xianmo can cook this. I can let him cook next time——
"Dara?!" While Zhou Ruo was thinking, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked over, and then saw Zeng Xu and a mixed-race woman holding hands with him.
The woman looked to be in her mid-twenties. She was very beautiful, with brown hair, amber eyes, and a good figure. She seemed to be Zeng Xu's type at first glance.
Zhou Ruo didn't feel anything special when she saw another woman beside Zeng Xu. This was a tacit understanding between her and Zeng Xu.
"Hi, come for dinner." Zhou Ruo greeted Zeng Xu with a smile.
Zeng Xu glanced at the tableware opposite Zhou Ruo, "Are you coming on a date too?"
Zhou Ruo: "Invite someone to a meal."
Zeng Xu joked: "If Dara can invite him in person, he must be a capable and handsome guy. I'll have to take a good look later."
Zhou Ruo curled her lips, raised her eyelids and glanced in the direction of the second floor, "Okay."
Zeng Xu took his new romantic partner and sat at a table near Zhou Ruo. While ordering, he didn't forget to chat with Zhou Ruo.
Zhou Ruo replied nonchalantly and slowly put the food into his mouth.
…
Bai Qingru called because of Lou Xiaojiang's matter.
Bai Qingru was very satisfied with Lou Xiaojiang. Recently, a colleague had a grandson. She was worried, so she called Xianmo to congratulate her, hoping that he could settle down as soon as possible and have another child.
He Xianmo couldn't make a promise and just said that he didn't have much time to think about it recently. Bai Qingru was not very satisfied with the answer, but there was nothing he could do about it on the phone. The mother and son had a little talk and ended the call.
He Xianmo lowered his head and fiddled with his cell phone as he walked downstairs. When he went down to the corner, he suddenly saw Zeng Xu's figure.
He Xianmo's eyebrows skipped a beat, and when he was about to turn around and go back, it was already too late.
"Arthur!" Zeng Xu had spotted him sharply, called him at the top of his lungs, and waved to him.
He Xianmo: "..."
Zhou Ruo put down his chopsticks and looked towards the stairs, looking at He Xianmo with interest, waiting for his next move.
After all, in He Xianmo's world, being bumped into by Zeng Xu while eating with her should be rounded off as being caught having an affair.
As for He Xianmo's level of lying...that's so bad that even a dog would shake his head after seeing it.
Having been seen by Zeng Xu, He Xianmo had no way out. After hesitating on the spot for a few seconds, he could only make up his mind and go downstairs.
He Xianmo came to Zeng Xu's table and stopped. Before he could speak, Zeng Xu asked: "Are you coming to eat? With whom? Is it that-"
"A person." He Xianmo interrupted Zeng Xu first, strangling his words in the cradle.
In fact, he could completely guess what Zeng Xu was going to ask. If he didn't stop him, Zeng Xu would talk about the woman who seduced him. Maybe some shocking words would come out. At this time, there were only two people in the restaurant. Table, Zhou Ruo understood it as soon as he heard it.
"Okay, I thought -" Zeng Xu changed the subject, "Have you ordered, or would you like to join us?"
"We've finished eating." He Xianmo glanced at his watch calmly, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Zeng Xu nodded, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
He Xianmo said "Yeah" and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Zhou Ruo was at the table not far from Zeng Xu, and the conversation between the two of them just reached her ears word for word.
Seeing He Xianmo turning around and leaving as if he didn't recognize her, Zhou Ruo smiled again.
That is to say, he was used to being alone, so Zeng Xu would not be suspicious.
He Xianmo probably didn't have much confidence in his ability to lie, so he left quickly.
"Hey, Dara, why hasn't your friend come down yet?" Zeng Xu and his female companion finished ordering food. When he looked back, he found that Zhou Ruo was still alone.
Zhou Ruo smiled and said: "He has something to do, so he will leave first."
Zeng Xu subconsciously glanced outside and saw He Xianmo getting into the car. There was no one else there.
"I left five minutes ago." Zhou Ruo smiled and picked up the bag next to him and asked the waiter to pay the bill. "I'll leave first too. You guys eat slowly."
Zeng Xu watched Zhou Ruo finish paying and leaving, and touched his chin.
What a coincidence.
In the situation just now, he almost thought that the person Zhou Ruo was dating for dinner was He Xianmo.
However, this idea was so ridiculous that Zeng Xu rejected it within a second of coming up.
——
Zhou Ruo had just finished paying the bill and walked out of the restaurant when his phone vibrated.
I looked down and saw a WeChat message from He Xianmo, which was real-time location sharing.
He's on the street behind.
Zhou Ruo accepted the location sharing and followed the map prompts to bypass the street.
Within five minutes, she got into He Xianmo's car again.
Zhou Ruo closed the car door and pulled out the seat belt and fastened it. He glanced back at He Xianmo in the driver's seat and was amused by his serious and tense expression.
Zhou Ruo leaned forward, raised her hand and touched his face: "Are you so cowardly?"
He Xianmo hid for a moment.
Zhou Ruo: "Zeng Xu asked me just now who I was dating, and I said with you."
He Xianmo froze and stared at her intently.
Zhou Ruo slapped him on the face: "Are you scared?"
He Xianmo grabbed her wrist: "Why?"
