C308 Appointment
Snowflakes covered the entire house, and the silver world was dazzling.
This was already the second snowfall in Zhonghai, as if he was an important player that had been specially coordinated for Christmas.
On the way to work, many shops had already lit up with neon lights and Christmas dolls and accessories. The Christmas trees popped up out of nowhere like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
It was Yang Chen's first time inside the China for a Christmas. He did not expect the atmosphere to be so rich, comparable to the European and American nations. He couldn't help but sigh that the world had really shrunk.
There was an extra white leather bag beside the car seat. It was the one Cai Yan said last night that she would get it for her. Yang Chen didn't forget that. He took it out in the morning after seeing the bag beside the tea table.
When they arrived at the parking lot under Yu Lei Entertainment's office building, Lin Ruoxi had just arrived with Hui Lin.
Hui Lin got out of the car and said goodbye to Lin Ruoxi. Lin Ruoxi lowered the window and waved goodbye to Hui Lin. She looked tired, but there was also a gentle smile on her face.
Seeing Yang Chen get off from the other side of the car, Lin Ruoxi acted as if she didn't see him at all and ignored him like a stranger. She naturally raised the car window and drove away.
Yang Chen watched the car drive away with a faint smile on his face. It seemed that what he said last night had made Lin Ruoxi completely give up on him. This kind of disregard was even more estranged than cold words.
When Hui Lin noticed this, her face showed worry, but she didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the office, many of the staff were wearing scarves and more clothes than usual. It was obvious that once the snow fell, the temperature would plummet.
Yang Chen suddenly remembered that the last time it snowed, it was climbing a mountain with Mo Qianni. Then they had that unforgettable night.
Thinking about Mo Qianni's old legs, Yang Chen was a little worried. After all, the weather was cold, so her legs might have a relapse.
After entering his office, Yang Chen closed the door and dialed Mo Qianni's number.
Within a few seconds, Mo Qianni picked up the phone. Her voice was still full of energy, but there was a hint of joy in it.
"How rare, to be able to call a small grudge like me when I'm free." Mo Qianni joked in self-pity.
Yang Chen asked straightforwardly, "How's your leg? Does it hurt?"
Mo Qianni remained silent for a while, before she smiled and said, "Hearing you ask that question, even if it hurts, I'll just say it doesn't hurt."
"Does it hurt?" Yang Chen was anxious when he heard it. He still clearly remembered Mo Qianni's pain that night.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry!" Mo Qianni said in a soft voice, "You treated me last time and I feel much better. It's snowing today and I'm wearing a pair of extra pants. I don't feel any pain or discomfort anymore."
Only then did Yang Chen calm down, "If it hurts, just tell me. Don't hold it in, I'll show you or take you to the hospital. It's fine."
Mo Qianni acknowledged, "I suddenly thought of you. It's all your fault. I called you early in the morning. How am I working today? I'm so annoyed. There's so much I have to do."
"Busy?"
"Of course, I am now the Minister of Finance. Don't you know that the company has various accounts to settle at the end of the year? And it's almost the new year, so many of our staff have gone home on vacation. As for us in Zhong Hai, of course we can only do a little more. " Mo Qianni said in grief.
Yang Chen thought about it and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight. I haven't been with you for a long time and you're so tired, so you should be rewarded."
Mo Qianni began to giggle. "You know how to love others, not bad, not bad." "But, I don't want to eat outside. Come to my house tonight, alright? I'll cook for you."
"Can I sleep at your place?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
"You're courting death!" Mo Qianni pouted coquettishly. "Anyway, it's a deal. I'm busy now. Come to my house tonight. Bye bye first!"
She hung up immediately.
Yang Chen was depressed. This death was too direct, she actually didn't want to give him a kiss before he left.
Just as he was about to turn on the computer to play the game, his phone vibrated.
Yang Chen took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. It was probably Cai Yan.
As expected, it was Cai Yan's voice.
"Did you take it?" Cai Yan seemed to be in a good mood as she asked briskly.
"My memory isn't bad. Are you in the police station? I'll give it to you."
"Are you going to come out anytime?" Cai Yan asked.
Yang Chen smiled, "I'm just a lackey. Everyone else does everything."
"I think you too …" Cai Yan didn't mock him like she used to. "Forget it now. I'll see you at 11: 00 in the afternoon at the intersection north of Central South Street."
Yang Chen was stunned. He didn't understand why Cai Yan chose a place that wasn't too close to the police station or the company, but he didn't care too much about it and agreed.
After playing the game for two hours, the snow that had fallen for most of the day had stopped. Yang Chen then drove to the appointed location with Cai Yan.
Central South Street was a pedestrian street with restaurants and snacks on both sides. Yang Chen walked to the intersection and looked around for a woman in police uniform.
At that moment, Cai Yan's voice sounded from behind him.
"What are you looking for, am I not here!"
Yang Chen turned around and saw Cai Yan behind him. She was wearing a close-fitting, beige shirt, which made her chest particularly proud. She was wearing a purple scarf, revealing her charms, and her lower body was in light-colored jeans.
It had to be said that Cai Yan, with her originally heroic and beautiful face and a foundation of powder, had attracted the attention of many men and women as she walked along the road in this kind of outfit.
Seeing Yang Chen look at her in surprise, Cai Yan felt slightly pleased with herself, but she did not express it. Instead, she pretended not to know as she asked, "Am I weird?"
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly, "I can't really recognize you since you didn't wear a police uniform all of a sudden, but it's very suitable for you to wear it like this."
"It's not like I'm trying to arrest a criminal. Do you think I'm addicted to wearing police uniform?" Cai Yan rolled her eyes at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shrugged indifferently and handed the white bag in his hand to Cai Yan, "This is yours, I brought it for you."
"Thank you." After Cai Yan received it, she didn't even look at the things in her bag, but smiled and said, "Go have something to eat?"
Yang Chen hesitated, "Lunch?"
"Then why do you think?" Cai Yan asked snappily.
Yang Chen really didn't think that Cai Yan would treat him to lunch. However, when he thought about the promise he made to be her friend, he had no reason to refuse, not to mention that he was already hungry.
"I'm fine with anything. I'm fine with anything." Yang Chen said.
Cai Yan did not want to be such a naughty girl, "Then let's go to that Lu Restaurant. I've eaten there before, and the taste is pretty good."
Yang Chen didn't object and followed Cai Yan into the nearest restaurant. They found a small table for the two and sat at the window.
Cai Yan skillfully ordered dishes from the waiter and asked Yang Chen, "What would you like to eat? How many dishes would you like?"
"No need, I think you can order as much as you want. I have no appetite at night after lunch." Yang Chen was thinking that Mo Qianni had to cook dinner at night. If she was full and didn't perform well at night, he would be embarrassed.
Cai Yan didn't think too much about it and changed the topic. However, Yang Chen didn't have anything to talk about with Cai Yan. There were a lot of things Yang Chen didn't think he could tell Cai Yan.
Cai Yan also noticed Yang Chen's caution and said in a displeased tone, "Do you really need to be like this? I am just curious about what you have done in the past, and why you are so skilled.
Yang Chen sighed, "Cai Yan, you said last time, I hope we are friends. If that's what you really think, then I hope you won't ask these questions. If I don't say it, then I have my reasons. Your sister should know a bit, but since she doesn't tell you, you should know that those things can't be said as you please. "
Cai Yanjiao snorted and stopped asking.
Not long after, several dishes were served. Cai Yan thought of something and asked, "What would you like to drink? White or wine?" There's good sorghum here. "
Yang Chen directly said, "No need, two bowls of rice, just filling your stomach up."
Cai Yan felt bitter but had nothing to say. Seeing that Yang Chen was about to serve two big bowls of rice, she started wolfing down her food. She had no choice but to start eating as well.
Yang Chen basically didn't mention all the questions and topics that he had prepared beforehand. In less than five minutes after the meal, he patted his belly and belched.
"I'm done eating. Take your time." Yang Chen didn't leave immediately. After all, it wouldn't be polite. So he took a toothpick and waited for Cai Yan.
Cai Yan suddenly stopped eating and swallowed the food in her mouth. She raised her bright face and stared coldly at Yang Chen. It was actually a bit gloomy.
