not your best friend

The nature that a good person will always retain.

Passers-by saw a beautiful girl with an inexplicable smile standing at the gate of the hospital, and couldn't help but look sideways.What are you doing girl?How come out of the hospital so happy?

After picking up the car from the hospital's parking lot, Huo Wan went straight to the International Trade Center.On the way, I also called Lin Dang to ask where the other party was, but I couldn't get through, and the phone was always in a state of no one answering.

Although Huo Wan felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't think too much about it. Maybe something was delayed?Just go directly to the restaurant and wait. Anyway, the seats are reserved, so people can't stop coming, right?

After arriving at the place, I reported Lin Dang's name, and the waiter led her to the reserved box.A bottle of slightly aged red wine was placed on the wine rack on the table, and the dark red liquid inside could be seen through the emerald green glass.

The tableware was also neatly arranged, and the only thing that surprised Huo Wan was that Lin Dang, who was the inviter, was late.Although the relationship between the two of them doesn't need to pay too much attention to these things, but judging from Huo Wan's knowledge of Lin Dang, it doesn't seem like something the other party can do.

The appointment time between the two is 06:30.

However, more than ten minutes have passed since the agreed time, and no one has answered the phone calls.

Was it really a temporary accident?

Huo Wan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he took out the phone from his pocket and called, but no one answered.She could not help but frown as she watched the golden light reflected from the tableware on the table under the warm light of the box.

The red number on the electronic clock on the wall jumped to 19:00, the whole office was quiet, the office equipment was turned off, and there was no trace of busy overtime.However, the owner of the office was sitting upright in front of the computer, holding a ring box in his hand, staring blankly at the front in a daze.

A huge glass curtain wall, through which you can see the most beautiful night view of the city.

Looking at the past, you can still see the top floor of the International Trade Center.

Huo Wan should have been waiting for her in that building by now, right?

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the night lights of buildings, large and small, began to light up.But the bright lights in the office make the people in it feel like night is coming.

Only then did Lin Dang remember that the two secretaries in the office outside were still sitting with him.They did not dare to leave work without their own permission, which was equivalent to being forced to work overtime.

While cursing herself inwardly for being confused and distracted, she hurried out to inform the two people.

"Get off work, I will stay in the company for a while before leaving."

After conveying the order to get off work and returning to the desk, the phone on the desk started to vibrate again.

The sound of 'buzzing' was particularly abrupt and piercing in this quiet space. One sound after another penetrated into Lin Dang's ears, and each sound reminded her that the caller was waiting for her at this moment.

But so what?

Lin Dang stood like this and watched the phone vibrate until the call was automatically hung up, and then the phone rang again.This cycle goes on and on, again and again, and the caller seems to be tireless.

Resisting the urge to pick it up abruptly, he muted the phone on the table, turned it over and covered it on the table.

In fact, if you think carefully about what Grandpa Huo said to her, it's not unreasonable. No one wants their family members to leave an easy road behind and let her go on a road full of thorns.

When I found out that my sister had something to do with Bai Yi, didn't I still struggle with it for a long time?But how many people are as open-minded as yourself?

Even though Mother Bai used such extreme methods, Lin Dang knew that Huo Wan's character was definitely not a weak person to be bullied. As long as he let go, Huo Wan would never back down because of his family's opposition.

However, if their being together would break each other and their relatives... Lin Dang didn't want to think about it any further.She is a businessman. After weighing the pros and cons, she still chose the best way for herself and Huo Wan.

Anyway... I have been straight in Huo Wan's eyes for so many years..

Lin Dang turned around, and walked slowly to the huge glass curtain wall with his hands on his shoulders, looking at the China World Trade Center in the distance, as if he wanted to see someone through the tall buildings.There are complex and tangled emotions in the eyes.

Then keep going straight and don't let her see hope.

Just stop at the friend level, don't go any further.

...

"Miss, are you still eating? If the pre-ordered ingredients are not put into the pot, they will lose their freshness."

The manager looked at the lady in front of him who seemed to be a pigeon, with some embarrassment.This is the third time he has asked this question. From six o'clock to nine o'clock, this lady has been sitting here for a long time.

However, the waiting person never came.

In fact, such things are not uncommon, and he is already familiar with them.At this moment, the door of the private room was knocked again, Huo Wan and the manager were stunned for a moment, and then the door was slowly pushed open.Huo Wan's pupils shrank slightly, and the person she hoped would be the one she wanted to see.

However, things don't always go your way.

"Excuse me, which one is Ms. Lin? The flowers stored at the front desk have exceeded the time agreed at that time..."

Lin Dang had agreed with the front desk of the restaurant to leave the flowers at the front desk first, and then sent the waiter to take them into the box, but after so long there was no signal, the front desk had no choice but to knock on the door without authorization.

Huo Wan suddenly stood up from the seat at this time, looking at the large bouquet of white roses in the arms of the front desk lady, the faint floral fragrance began to permeate the box gradually, the pure and noble white roses were very In line with Lin Dang's temperament.

Why are there flowers?

No need to ask, it's an obvious thing. In such an environment, Red Wine Rose and the violinist, no matter how you look at it, are the prelude to confessing.So the question is, why hasn't the protagonist of this scene appeared for a long time?

Huo Wan almost began to wonder if Lin Dang had encountered something difficult, or had an accident on the way here, but at this moment the manager's cell phone rang.

The other party glanced at the incoming call, then quickly picked it up.

"Eh? Ah...Okay, I see..."

The manager carefully glanced at Huo Wan standing in front of him, with a little helplessness in his eyes.Because Lin left a phone number here when he made the reservation, but because the person was late, the manager couldn't help calling to ask, but unfortunately, no one answered after several calls.

It is precisely because of this that he came over again and again to ask Huo Wan what he meant.

Now Lin Dang called him back, saying that all the arrangements for tonight were cancelled.

The price is still paid, and if the guests who come by appointment have consumption or have any other needs, they should also be satisfied, and the account will be charged to her.

Although there was no sound leakage from the phone, because the two of them were standing relatively close to each other, Huo Wan could still vaguely hear a sound.Coupled with the helpless and embarrassed expression on the manager's face, Huo Wan immediately guessed who the person on the other end of the phone was.

Call the restaurant manager when you have time but no time to return her calls. She has called so many times and didn't answer any of them?What is it that wasn't intentional?

After sorting out the clues, he became angry, and immediately snatched the phone from the other party's hand, and asked directly without any politeness.Please add, ⑧②④⑤②[-]⑨

"Lin Dang, what do you mean?"

Huo Wan forcibly suppressed her anger, but the expression on her face still looked a little scary at the moment.After asking this sentence, there was no voice on the other end of the phone.

When Huo Wan put down the phone again, he saw that the call interface had been hung up.

Well, you released her pigeons for no reason, and now you don't even want to say a word to her, do you?

very good.

The box suddenly fell into a weird atmosphere, anyone could tell that Huo Wan had been released as a pigeon and he was not in a good mood right now.No one wanted to touch her brow, but the manager remembered what the customer had just conveyed on the phone, so he had to bite the bullet and ask Huo Wan again.

"Do you still want to eat, miss? Miss Lin told us to meet your request."

Be sure to accommodate her requests.

It's nice to say, but the things that are done are not done by people.Huo Wan was so annoyed that she laughed back, and she opened the chair with one hand and sat on it.

"Eat, why don't you eat? Since she won't come, I'll eat alone. The arrangement she made before you all follow the original plan."

Huo Wan felt uncomfortable. Isn't there a saying that turns grief and anger into appetite?She has been waiting here dryly for so long, why not eat if she has something to eat?She estimated that even if she ran out to find Lin Dang now, she would not be able to find him.

The other party was determined to avoid her.

When the manager heard that the set was "as planned", he had a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

Lin Dang's arrangements were indeed communicated with the restaurant in advance, and they were indeed implemented and arranged by the restaurant.But if there is only one protagonist present, this planning process will be really embarrassing..

It was a good confession session, but the protagonist was temporarily absent.

"Miss Huo, this..."

"Didn't you say that my request must be met? Why can't the first request be met now? Or is she giving too little money? Then I will give it!"

Huo Wan interrupted what the manager was going to say, and didn't want to hear any weird reasons.It was pigeonholed for no reason
