163 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 6, Stepmother and Son (15)

“I thought you were asleep.” Xue Xue joked.”By the way, last time you said that the capital injection should be discussed with other people. What was the result of the discussion?”

“The result of the discussion? I thought the information had been sent?”

In fact, it was okay not to discuss it at that time. The company’s funds were on the verge of being cut off, but the experiments and assembly processes that were still going on could not be stopped. Every day was a huge expense. Jiang Pingyang said that just because after all, he was a person who joined the team as a consultant later, so he had to be more cautious about this kind of thing.

But when Jiang Pingyang mentioned it, everyone passed it without objection.

When you are forced to run by money, you have to put all your backbone aside.

“Oh, that’s it.” Xue Xue, who had known about this for a long time, just asked casually, in order to make what he said next logical.”Brother Pingyang, I want to tell you something.”

“Huh?”

“My dad wants to meet you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Pingyang was startled.

Meeting Xue Wangui, his mother’s remarried husband, was something Jiang Pingyang had never thought about. He knew that Ding Rou didn’t want him to disturb her new life.

Xue Xue felt the rising and falling breathing of the man on the other end of the phone even though he was trying his best to keep it steady. His mind turned and he probably guessed the reason.

Although Ding Rou didn’t care about Jiang Pingyang, it was obvious that Jiang Pingyang cared about his mother.

This can be a bit troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Xue had a new plan.

“Brother Pingyang, before that I want to invite you to have lunch together.”

Xue Xue’s voice was slow and gentle, and it was like a breeze blowing into his ears through the microphone, bringing a refreshing chill to his heart and calming Jiang Pingyang’s chaotic thoughts.

“Lunch?”

“Yes, lunch.” Although Jiang Pingyang didn’t see Xue Xue, he could tell from the other person’s tone that she was smiling when she spoke.”Speaking of which, you can be considered my brother, but we have never said hello or had dinner in a serious manner. Isn’t this strange?”

Strange?Jiang Pingyang felt that Xue Xue seemed a little weirder when he said this.

He should refuse, Jiang Pingyang thought.

Just like he should refuse Xue Wangui to meet him.

However, when the words came to his mouth, they seemed to be stuck, and it was difficult to make a sound in his throat, so Xue Xue was allowed to speak first again.

“Time and place can decide for you.” Xue Xue’s voice was brisk, and every word he spoke was like a jumping note.”But let’s make it clear first, I won’t accept no for an answer.”

In the end, the time was decided by Jiang Pingyang, but the location was chosen by Xue Xuelai.

Jiang Pingyang originally thought that based on Xue Xue’s upbringing, the two would meet in a hotel or a high-end restaurant. Since it was just a meal, Jiang Pingyang didn’t care much.

Unexpectedly, Xue Xue chose a Chinese restaurant located in an alley in the city.

The bright red lanterns hang high, and although the area is small, the antique buildings still make passersby stop.

When Jiang Pingyang arrived, Xue Xue was already waiting.

The lighting in the restaurant is goose-yellow, and the soft halo seems to be coated with a layer of matte on the woman’s face, making her look like a character in a landscape painting, amidst the misty clouds and mist, isolated from the world.

It was difficult for Jiang Pingyang to explain what the emotion that surged in his heart meant. He only knew that he stopped involuntarily, for fear of destroying the still picture in front of him.

“Sir?”

Hearing the noise, Xue Xue, who was studying the menu, raised her head. When she saw Jiang Pingyang, the smile on her face was as bright as a sunflower.

The beautiful smile is beautiful, the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and the eyes are shining with hope.

Jiang Pingyang felt as if his heart had been hit by something, and there was an unfamiliar numbness all over his body.

Xue Xue thought Jiang Pingyang didn’t see him, so he waved to him.

This wave also wiped away the sudden nostalgia in the man’s heart. After regrouping his emotions, he walked to the corner seat where Xue Xue was.

“I ordered shrimp and egg custard, sweet and sour braised cabbage, crispy fried meat rolls, and a pot of health soup.” Xue Xue said, handing the menu to Jiang Pingyang.”Look at what you want to eat.”

Jiang Pingyang took the menu and flipped it over meaningfully.”This should be enough for us?”

He is not a person who attaches great importance to food. When he was busy as a researcher, he would often order takeout or prepare his own instant noodles to finish a meal in ten minutes.

This is one of the reasons why Jiang Pingyang’s relationships always end in vain. Usually the woman’s reason for breaking up is simply that he is not interested, or she feels that he doesn’t care about feelings enough, just like a cold experimental robot.

Jiang Pingyang has heard this kind of thing many times but always feels that it is not a big deal. After all, everyone chooses to live in a different way. If they cooperate, they will come together, and if they do not, they will break up.

However, in front of Xue Xue, he rarely felt a little uncomfortable.

What Jiang Pingyang didn’t realize was that he didn’t want Xue Xue to think that he was a boring person.

It is self-evident what it means when a man has such thoughts in front of a woman.

“Then let’s order some green onion rolls?” Xue Xue felt hungry and didn’t notice the change in Jiang Pingyang’s face.“The scallion rolls here are very salty and fragrant. I can eat three of them at one time.”

When Xue Xue talked about eating, Jiang Pingyang felt very cute with the way he beamed.

The hard lines on his face softened, and honey gradually flowed out of his dark pupils.

Afterwards, he realized that he had made a long speech, but Jiang Pingyang didn’t say a word. Xue Xue blushed in embarrassment.”I’m sorry, I’m so excited…”

“Nothing, I think it’s interesting.”

“Really?”

Jiang Pingyang nodded.

Xue Xue, who was affirmed, immediately smiled and rolled his eyes.

“Actually, I’m not usually so noisy.”

“I feel very happy just to have a meal with Brother Pingyang.”

Xue Xue said these two sentences very seriously. When Jiang Pingyang heard it, he felt that his heartbeat also missed two beats.

He felt that he should say something in response. However, his mind, which was usually full of mathematical formulas and calculation logic, seemed to have suddenly lost its function and was completely empty.

“I…”

“I feel like I’m a little in love with Brother Pingyang.”
