Chapter 9
Xu Ruoning leaned on the sofa and stared at the foreigner for a long time. She could barely understand some of the technical terms he used, but she didn't quite understand them. She only understood a few words, such as "death timeline" and "report record."
When Xie Yicheng came out of the conference room, she noticed him. Xie Yicheng had a very attractive face. He was wearing a gray suit. The high-end suit was straight and ironed, which made him tall and slender.
When he wasn't talking, he always had a calm and gentlemanly attitude. This attitude, along with his slightly dull face, gave off an aura of abstinence.
But when he talks, the sense of alienation is broken; he will laugh, his expression will become vivid, and the temperament around him will become very gentle.
Xu Ruoning had only seen this tenderness ten years ago.
She didn't know what Peng Hui whispered in his ears. The man came over, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Xu Ruoning raised her heels and followed him into the elevator. She didn't follow him when the elevator door opened; Xu Ruoning turned her head to look at him and asked: "You were talking to me just now?"
Xie Yicheng did not deny, "Yes."
"Please have a meal with me; I'm leaving tomorrow." After getting out of the elevator, she picked up the camera and took a picture of his back.
Xie Yicheng came to a halt and looked back at her, his mood light. "Have you played enough?"
He seemed to feel that she had been teasing him.
At that moment, Xu Ruoning really wanted to tell him that she was serious about marrying him, and of course, she was serious about wanting to sleep with him.
But she didn't say anything; she raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "Yeah, I've had enough fun."
The two had a simple and quiet western meal. After the meal, Xu Ruoning went to pay and found out that when Xie Yicheng went to the bathroom, he had already paid in advance.
She took her bag and camera and only raised her eyebrows at him, saying, "See you by fate."
Xie Yicheng stood at the door of the restaurant for a while before receiving a call from Peng Hui: "Don't forget your trial at 3 p.m.."
"I haven't forgotten."
"I'm going back," Xie Yicheng said as he looked back at Xu Ruoning, who was walking away.
"You can take a vacation for yourself after you're done this time and go on a date with peace of mind." Peng Hui smiled over there.
Xie Yicheng didn't speak. After hanging up the phone, he stood still on the street. When he turned around, Xu Ruoning could no longer be seen.
When the trial was over, he went back.
This house was found for him by Peng Hui. He had returned to China two years ago for development. This year, he was temporarily called by Peng Hui to help with Chinese criminal cases in the United States. He is very familiar with the laws of the United States. Peng Hui was worried about others, so he invited him here.
When Xie Yicheng was sitting on the sofa, he touched a lady's cigarette.
It belonged to Xu Ruoning, nothing of hers was left in the guest room, but a cigarette of hers was left on the sofa.
He pinched his fingertips and looked at them, then put them on the coffee table.
The moment he closed his eyes, Xu Ruoning's voice echoed in his ears, "Hey, do you want to marry me?"
He choked up because what he saw in her eyes was seriousness, not a joke.
He had only seen such a serious expression ten years ago.
After the reunion, Xu Ruoning wore a thick camouflage; she did not have the innocence and ignorance of a girl in her eyes, and there were endless stories hidden in her eyes, and she was comfortable with interpersonal communication.
When it comes to s*x, she is even more straightforward.
In fact, she has not changed; Xie Yicheng knows and sees her; she has always been like this.
It's just that he couldn't accept that Xu Ruoning appeared in front of him with such a relaxed attitude, which made him feel like himself ten years ago.
Like a joke.
