Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Mr. Shen parked his black Mercedes-Benz in the parking lot on the first floor of the Tanghai Group Plaza.

"I'm here. I still have two tickets for the weekend concert. Are you free?" Mr. Shen sent another WeChat message to "Qingqing".

"I'm free, I'll come down right away." The other party replied quickly.

He was wearing a neat dark blue suit, paired with a light blue shirt and sweater, and a black tie around his collar, showing his mature, steady and elegant temperament.

Mr. Shen opened the car window, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath. The white smoke quickly dissipated in the cold air.

Shen Jingyao's eyes were fixed on the exit of the group building, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he was looking forward to seeing Tang Xiaqing coming down the stairs.

Not long after, Tang Xiaqing and Wang Ziqing appeared at the door of the building.

Tang Xiaqing was wearing an off-white cashmere coat that just reached her calf. The soft material made her look even more gentle and charming.

A light brown scarf wrapped around the collar of her coat cleverly accentuated her fair skin. She wore a pair of black high boots. Next to her, Wang Ziqing wore a burgundy cashmere coat.

When Mr. Shen saw them, he immediately stretched out his hand, waved at them vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Tang!" The voice echoed in the empty parking lot.

Tang Xiaqing heard the shout, turned around and saw Mr. Shen.

She smiled faintly, raised her hand, and waved politely to Mr. Shen, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

At this time, Wang Ziqing followed Tang Xiaqing's gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "Mr. Shen is here to pick me up. Mr. Tang, I'll be leaving first. We'll talk next time."

Tang Xiaqing nodded, "Okay."

Wang Ziqing walked briskly towards Mr. Shen's car and opened the door. Mr. Shen's face, which was originally smiling, froze the moment he saw that it was Wang Ziqing who got in the car. He was completely stunned.

Wang Ziqing was puzzled when she saw Mr. Shen's expression. She asked, "Mr. Shen, what's wrong? What does your expression mean?"

Mr. Shen finally came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly and asked, "Are you Qingqing? Then were you the one who added me on WeChat this morning?" Mr. Shen frowned slightly, his tone inquiring, his eyes switching back and forth between Lu and Wang Ziqing.

"Yes, I'm Wang Ziqing, my WeChat name is Qingqing, and I asked our President Tang for your phone number." Wang Ziqing said bluntly, with a confident and playful smile on her face, looking at President Shen calmly. The warm yellow light from the car shone on her.

Mr. Shen suddenly understood that the misunderstanding was caused by the fact that both Wang Ziqing and Tang Xiaqing’s names contained the word “Qing”.

He patted his forehead lightly, sighing inwardly at what a ridiculous coincidence this was. He had always assumed the person was Tang Xiaqing, so he had happily rushed to pick her up, only to discover it was Wang Ziqing.

"Yes, you said on WeChat that you were looking forward to meeting me and wanted to treat me to a meal. Why have you changed your mind now?" Wang Ziqing's tone was a little disappointed. She pouted her lips slightly, sensing the subtle change in Mr. Shen's attitude.

She had been looking forward to this meeting. From Mr. Shen's previous WeChat reply, she could feel his enthusiasm. But Mr. Shen's unexpected and slightly cold reaction at this moment made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know what was going on.

Mr. Shen did not reveal who he was really expecting. It didn't seem appropriate to kick the person out of the car now, so he just responded indifferently: "No, since you are all out, let's have a meal together." His voice was as flat as water.

Wang Ziqing looked at Shen Jingyao's handsome profile and nodded quickly: "Okay." Although Mr. Shen's attitude was a little cold, she still felt a little more excited to have dinner with him.

Mr. Shen drove the car to a high-end restaurant that he had made a reservation in advance.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they were seated under the guidance of the waiter.

Mr. Shen opened the menu expressionlessly and ordered a few dishes at random without asking Wang Ziqing's opinion.

Mr. Shen rarely spoke and just ate mechanically.

Wang Ziqing felt a little uncomfortable watching Mr. Shen's absent-minded appearance, but she still tried to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere. She picked up a piece of delicate dessert, put it in her mouth, chewed it gently, and said, "The desserts in this restaurant are very delicious. Mr. Shen, you should try it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen only responded in a low voice: "Yeah."

After a while, Mr. Shen seemed to suddenly remember something. He put down the cutlery in his hands, looked at Wang Ziqing, and asked, "Is Mr. Tang busy with work?"

Wang Ziqing was slightly startled. She didn't expect President Shen to suddenly ask about Tang Xiaqing, but she quickly replied, "President Tang is very busy at work, but she has strong execution capabilities. In just over a month since taking office, she has managed the company in perfect order."

Mr. Shen then asked, "Does Mr. Tang usually have many social engagements?"

Wang Ziqing couldn't help but feel a little puzzled as to why Mr. Shen was so interested in Tang Xiaqing's affairs, but she still answered truthfully: "She hasn't had too many social engagements recently. She has only taken over our group for about a month."

Mr. Shen thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What is Mr. Tang's general style when dealing with work problems?"

Wang Ziqing couldn't help herself any longer. She put down her chopsticks, looked at Mr. Shen with a half-smile, and teased, "Mr. Shen, do you like our Ms. Tang? Why do you keep asking questions about her?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen quickly denied it, "No, it's just work-related. As a supplier to Tanghai Group, knowing more about the person in charge of our partners will help us better conduct business, so I'm asking these questions."

Wang Ziqing raised her eyebrows, a meaningful smile on her lips, and said, "Oh, so that's the case. I thought you had other thoughts, Mr. Shen. But then again, Ms. Tang is Mr. Huo's fiancée. Mr. Huo is very strong, and it is said that he controls her very strictly. But... I only heard it from others, so I don't know whether it is true or not."

When Shen Jingyao heard Wang Ziqing say "President Huo is very strong", he felt a little unhappy, so he wanted to ask: "Then does your President Tang feel happy? Is President Huo good to her?" However, just as Shen Jingyao was about to ask, he swallowed his words again. He felt that he was asking too many questions, and Wang Ziqing might not know all this.

After the meal, Mr. Shen did not stay for a moment and took Wang Ziqing out of the restaurant.

Out of courtesy, he drove Wang Ziqing home and remained silent all the way.

The car stopped downstairs of Wang Ziqing's house, and Mr. Shen said calmly, "We're here."

Wang Ziqing unbuckled her seatbelt, looked at Mr. Shen hesitantly, and said softly, "Thank you for treating me to dinner today. Would you like to come to my house?"

Mr. Shen shook his head: "No, I have something to do later."

"So what time is the weekend concert you mentioned?" Wang Ziqing asked, with anticipation glittering in her eyes. She thought this would be an opportunity to spend a good time with Mr. Shen.

He was silent for a moment, then took out the carefully prepared concert ticket from his pocket.

"You and your friends go and see it. I have suddenly decided to go on a business trip." Mr. Shen said coldly, his tone was flat without a trace of emotion.

Wang Ziqing was stunned for a moment.

"Well... okay, I hope Mr. Shen has a smooth business trip." Wang Ziqing tried hard to force a smile.

Mr. Shen nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Wang Ziqing opened the car door and got out. She stood beside the car and watched Mr. Shen's car quickly drive away and disappear into the night.
