Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

Chapter 210 Nothing Lost

Guan Wenyue stood up and called out respectfully, "Brother Xixiang, why are you here?"

Zhou Xixiang's sudden appearance caused Tong Xiao, who was sipping champagne, to choke.

He stretched out his rough hand, took a tissue from the table, and handed it to Tong Xiao who was still coughing: "I have something to ask Miss Tong."

Guan Wenyue corrected with a smile: "Her surname is Gu now. Brother Xixiang, did you know each other before?"

Zhou Xixiang's eyes swept over Tong Xiao's face, which was a little red from coughing, and he didn't say anything.

Tong Xiao raised his eyes and explained, "We are business partners and have met several times before. Mr. Zhou, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Xixiang stood tall in front of the table with a calm look. He looked at Guan Wenyue and said, "I'll borrow her from you for a few minutes."

Guan Wenyue smiled and said, "We are just going on a blind date today, not the kind of relationship you think, so it can't be called borrowing. Brother Xixiang, please sit down. I just remembered that I have something to do. Miss Gu, let's talk next time."

Guan Wenyue left the scene quickly.

Tong Xiao couldn't help sighing inwardly when he saw him walking away so quickly. He didn't even have time to add him on WeChat, so how could he chat with him next time?

Zhou Xixiang had already taken his seat. He did not speak immediately. Instead, he stared at Tong Xiao with his bright eyes, studying him carefully.

Tong Xiao was a little impatient under his blatant stare, and asked him: "Mr. Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Xixiang is like a quiet mountain, solid and heavy. Even when he sits there without saying anything, he makes people feel pressured.

There was no expression on his face, no emotion visible.

After staring at Tong Xiao for a while, Zhou Xixiang slowly said, "A few days ago in Shanghai, you were the one who sent me back to my room."

Tong Xiao swallowed unconsciously after hearing this, wondering whether Zhou Xixiang was making a statement or a question.

She admitted, "Yes, I took you back to your room. What's wrong?"

The champagne has a delicate taste, fresh fruit flavor, and aromas of yeast and toast.

Zhou Xixiang continued to look into her eyes and asked, "Have I ever done anything to disrespect you?"

"Disrespectful behavior...for example?" Tong Xiao asked back.

Zhou Xixiang's eyes were heavy: "Look at me, were you drunk that day too?"

His words made Tong Xiao uncomfortable. She looked at him and said, "I'm not drunk, but I don't know if you are drunk or not."

Zhou Xixiang's eyes darkened when he heard this. He tried to speak as gently as possible so as not to make Tong Xiao feel that he was interrogating a criminal: "When did you leave my room?"

"What's the matter? Did you lose any valuables? I just dropped you off and left. Even if you lost something, it definitely wasn't me."

Hearing her nervous tone, Zhou Xixiang immediately explained: "Nothing is lost."

"Oh." Tong Xiao seemed to have nothing to say and picked up his chopsticks to eat to avoid embarrassment.

Zhou Xixiang was silent for a moment. Maybe because he was absent-minded, he subconsciously picked up the cup that Guan Wenyue had used on the table.

Tong Xiao stopped him and said, "If you want to drink, ask the waiter to change the cup for you."

He put down his wine glass and watched her call the waiter over, clear the dishes in front of him, and serve him a new portion.

Tong Xiao saw him pick up the chopsticks and take a bite, then he joked, "These are the dishes ordered by Guan Wenyue. I should have split the bill with him, but now he's running away, so you have to split the bill."

Zhou Xixiang: "I'll treat you."

"No, I don't want to owe you a favor." Tong Xiao said, "You invited me today, so I have to invite you another day, and I can't make an appointment with you."

Zhou Xixiang exposed her lightly: "Sales, what you sell is favors, don't you want to have anything to do with me?"

His words were very direct, so direct that if Tong Xiao didn't answer well, the whole situation would become extremely awkward.

Tong Xiao picked up the wine glass and said, "Then it should be me who treats Mr. Zhou. How can I let you treat me? You have always taken care of our Chifeng business. I toast to you."

Zhou Xixiang didn't offer the wine. He reached out and took the wine glass from her hand: "You can relax here with me. Drinking too much is not good for your stomach."

The sudden tender words were hard to resist, and Tong Xiao grinned: "Same here."

Zhou Xixiang casually mentioned what happened just now: "Why are you on a blind date? You don't look very old."

Who says it isn't true? If she doesn't have someone she likes at her age, or if the person she likes is already married, it is unlikely that she will get married right away.

"My mother said that when she was my age, she had already given birth to a second child." How could she compare with the life of someone who had already found his destiny?

She felt that either she could meet someone she liked through blind dates in the next two years, or she would live alone for the rest of her life.

"Do you have any requirements for your significant other?" Zhou Xixiang suddenly asked.

Tong Xiao looked at him quietly and said nothing.

She picked up the glass of wine she hadn't finished drinking and took a sip: "Do you want to help me find it?"

Before Zhou Xixiang spoke, Tong Xiao said: "I like mature and steady people who can talk to me, who care about me and can take good care of themselves."

"There should be a lot of people like this on the street, why do they still need blind dates?"

"It's a little bit missing, but I still want eight-pack abs."

Zhou Xixiang leaned back on the sofa, his eyes darkened gradually, the hand holding the wine glass fell on the table, and the other hand remained in his trouser pocket.

He opened his mouth and said to Tong Xiao: "I seem to meet all the requirements you mentioned."

After saying that, Tong Xiao quickly waved his hand: "How can mortals like us dare to approach a deity like Mr. Zhou?"

"Everyone likes to climb higher than others, but you make yourself seem less like an ordinary person." Zhou Xixiang followed her thoughts and argued with her.

Tong Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Anyway, no mortal who falls in love with a fairy will have a good ending. Mr. Zhou, please stop teasing me."

"The Gu family is a wealthy family, and Weiye Group and Huayu are companies that developed at the same time. You don't have to think too lowly of yourself, and you don't have to think too highly of me. If you are a mortal, I am also a mortal."

What is he saying and why is he saying this?

If she was really the daughter of the Gu family, Tong Xiao would not have so many concerns, but she was still a fake.

She has a lot of self-awareness.

If she desperately tries to pull Zhou Xixiang off the altar, Mimi's fate will be her future fate.

Tong Xiao smiled faintly: "Has Mr. Zhou ever been in love?"

This question has been asked to Zhou Xixiang from time to time since he was in his twenties. At first, he responded honestly, but later he responded with a faint smile and silence.

"No."

No?

He is thirty years old, right? A man who has never been in a relationship at the age of thirty either has a physical defect or is introverted, shy and afraid of women. If it were Zhou Xixiang, it would only be the first of these two situations.

"Is there no one you like?"

Zhou Xixiang paused for a moment: "Where is Miss Tong?"

Tong Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I've been reading novels about overbearing CEOs since middle school. After reading so many, I felt that everyone around me was a loser. I didn't like any of them, so I've been single ever since."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Xixiang gossipingly: "So do you like the girl you are dating now?"
