My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

"Okay!" Zhou Qizhen interrupted Wang Tao again.

But compared with the previous time, anyone with eyes could see that he was not unhappy this time.

Zhou Qizhen wiped his hands with the wet towel on the dining table, looked Wang Tao up and down, and came to a conclusion in his mind: an old fox who could actually see what he liked to hear.

"Bring your business plan to Jiang Heng tomorrow to see my chief secretary."

Did it work? It really worked! Even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman. The ancients were right!

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhou." Wang Tao nodded happily and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Qizhen.

"I only gave you the opportunity to enter. The final result still depends on the evaluation." Zhou Qizhen reminded him.

Wang Tao grinned: "I understand, I understand, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, thank you very much." Even if the cooperation fails in the end, he has the experience of being initially selected for the inventory, and with Jiang Heng's endorsement, he can keep Hongfa for a while.

"Mr. Zhou, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I won't disturb you and your wife from having dinner."

"Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. This is my girlfriend and we are not married yet." Zhou Qizhen clarified by extending a gesture of introduction.

Although he wanted to give Lu Xiaoqiao the title of "Mrs. Zhou" as soon as possible, he couldn't acknowledge her casually and let others misunderstand him. He wanted to marry Lu Xiaoqiao in a grand and legitimate way and would not give others any chance to slander the girl in his heart.

Wang Tao pretended to understand and said, "Is that so? Then on the day Mr. Zhou and your girlfriend get married, I will definitely go and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

After Wang Tao and others left, Lu Xiaoqiao stared at Zhou Qizhen without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Qizhen asked.

Lu Xiaoqiao wrinkled her delicate nose: "Are you usually this fierce in the company?"

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Do you think I was very fierce just now?" From then on, he would try his best to prevent her from having the chance to see him working.

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded.

Zhou Qizheng raised the corner of his mouth and said to her: "Don't worry, I won't be like this to you."

Lu Xiaoqiao said with a smile: "I'm not afraid. I just saw that you clearly didn't agree just now, but you changed your mind after he said a few words you liked to hear. Mr. Zhou, you are not a tyrant, are you?"

Zhou Qi was staring at her with a sly smile. Looking at her cute and naughty appearance, his heart softened. He was afraid that his life was completely ruined by her.

He leaned forward slightly, a smile on his lips, his eyes full of doting, and gently scratched her nose with his slender fingers: "Naughty!"

After finishing their meal, the two returned to the underground parking lot.

After getting in the car, Zhou Qi fastened his seat belt, glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting in the passenger seat and said, "It's still early. Is there anywhere you want to go, or maybe go see a movie?"

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head. "It's past eight o'clock! It's not early anymore! I slept so late last night that I didn't wake up this morning. I need to go to bed early when I get home. You've been on the plane for such a long time, and you're here to celebrate my birthday with me today. You should go back and rest early too."

Zhou Qizheng held her hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, then said, "I'm not tired, I just want to stay with you for a while longer. If you feel tired, then we can go back early and make an appointment tomorrow night."

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little embarrassed: "I have already made an appointment with Lin Lin and the others tomorrow night!"

Seeing Zhou Qizheng didn't say anything, afraid that he would be angry, she shook his arm: "Are you angry? Don't be angry, I'll accompany you the day after tomorrow, okay? By the way, look at what delicious food I brought you. I brought you the most. The ones I gave to them were less than you."

As Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he picked up the bag that he had placed under the passenger seat.

Zhou Qizheng felt a little better after hearing this. He glanced at them and asked, "What's delicious?"

Lu Xiaoqiao handed him the bag with a smile: "Squid strips, and your favorite hazelnuts."

Hazelnuts? Ha! He raised his eyebrows, half jokingly saying, "You still dare to mention hazelnuts? I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it! You just reminded me!"

After he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned, and then she remembered what they had done before about Hazelnut. Her cheeks flushed and she felt embarrassed. Her eyes wandered around, trying to find excuses for herself.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I brought you some today. I know you like it, so I'll bring you more when I come back for the New Year."

Zhou Qizheng didn't want to move on, but continued to ask: "So where are the hazelnuts you snatched back from me last time? What did you do with them in the end?"

What can be done? It must be digested!

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and whispered, "I ate it!"

Zhou Qizheng tapped the steering wheel with his finger, thought for a moment, and said, "Is that so! Then I'll have to ask for something back!"

Seeing that he was clearly about to "settle the score," Lu Xiaoqiao asked nervously, "What do you want back?"

Zhou Qizhen didn't answer her, but unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, took her hand and invited her out.

Then, the two came to the back seat of the car, opened the door, and sat in together. Then Zhou Qizhen said, "Let me taste the mouth that eats my hazelnuts," and then he lowered his head and kissed her.

After someone had kissed her enough, he slightly reduced the strength of his embrace and said domineeringly against her forehead: "This is just the interest on a hazelnut."

Lu Xiaoqiao: "..." She pursed her lips and muttered, "You're a loan shark! How long will it take me to pay back the compounded interest?"

Zhou Qizheng kissed the corner of her mouth a few more times and said, "Then I will pay you back slowly, until the end of time."

Lu Xiaoqiao giggled and said, "If I had said just now that it was a gift for Zhao Zhizhi, would you have kissed him too?" After saying that, she quickly covered her lips with the back of her hand, fearing that Zhou Qizhen would 'retaliate' against her like he had just done to punish her.

Zhou Qizheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Lu Xiaoqiao, you really deserve to be punished."

Seeing her delicate lips covered by her hand, Zhou Qizhen raised a wicked smile, then lowered his head and gently kissed the palm of her hand, and then bit her finger with a hint of teasing.

Lu Xiaoqiao was startled by this sudden action. She dropped her hand with a swift "whoosh" and said coquettishly, "Why are you still biting me?"

Zhou Qizheng hugged him tightly: "I like you so much!"

This was the first time Zhou Qizhen expressed his love for her in words. There was no word of love, nor any vows of eternal love, but Lu Xiaoqiao could feel his seriousness towards her.

Zhou Qizheng suddenly picked her up and let her sit on his lap face to face. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke in a negotiating tone: "On New Year's Day, will you come back to the old house with me?"

"Zi Yang will also bring his girlfriend back that day. As his uncle, I must set an example."

A hint of uneasiness flashed across Lu Xiaoqiao's eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look into his eyes, but only staring at the collar of his shirt.

"Don't want to go back with me?" Zhou Qizhen spoke again.

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head and whispered, "No, I'm just worried that it would be embarrassing to see them."

Zhou Qizheng adjusted his sitting position, pinched her chin with his hand, then kissed her and said, "Don't think too much. If there's any embarrassment, it's me. After all, I'm much older than you. Leave everything to me, okay?"
