Turns out my boss likes me too

Chapter 8

"Boss, what you said about eating, do you mean it's just the two of us eating?" Luo Xing followed Xing Ke and looked around the private room. The two sets of utensils on the table didn't look like anyone was coming.

"if not?"

Seeing Luo Xing calmly pull away the chair, Xing Ke felt uncomfortable after sitting down, who else would Luo Xing want to have dinner with when he asked this question?

"It's nothing, I just thought... it was a dinner at work." Luo Xing felt the affirmation in Xing Ke's rhetorical question, and felt that he had misunderstood him, feeling inexplicably guilty and depressed.

Of course he was happy to eat alone with Xing Ke, but such kindness would make him misunderstand, and the more he misunderstood, the more he couldn't extricate himself.

But when it comes to two people being alone, Luo Xing inexplicably thought of Xing Ke and Qi Lin'an, logically, it should be Qi Lin'an who is sitting opposite Xing Ke now.

But the last time in Qi Lin'an's studio, Luo Xing felt very strange, why Xing Ke and Qi Lin'an looked so cold, they didn't talk much.

Qi Lin'an can understand, he has always been the flower of Gaoling during Xing Ke's pursuit, and he is very calm towards everyone.

But Xing Ke didn't take the initiative to say anything to Qi Lin'an.You know, when he pursued Qi Lin'an in high school, he also trained dozens of pigeons to fly.

Luo Xing served Xing Ke the dishes as he did when he was eating with clients in the past, and absently put a bunch of things into Xing Ke's bowl.

Xing Ke didn't even have time to eat, so he propped his chin helplessly with one hand, and immediately held Luo Xing's hand that was about to pick up a plate of food with the other, and said helplessly, "You eat it yourself, don't give it to me."

"Ah, good." Luo Xing paused on his wrist, and retracted his chopsticks.

It's really careless, now it's just the two of them, and I don't use serving chopsticks, so how can I pick up so many dishes for Xing Ke.

Luo Xing picked up a few dishes he liked, lowered his head and swiped his phone to force himself not to think about it.

Opening the chat box, Luo Xing found that Qi Lin'an had sent him a message, and he didn't notice it on the road just now.

Qi Lin'an: This weekend we have to shoot at 08:30 in the morning. Remember to pay attention to the time. If it is inconvenient, I can discuss another time.

Luo Xing searched the work schedule in his mind. If there is no accident this weekend, he will go on a business trip to the next city.

Luo Xing took a peek at Xing Ke.

Xing Ke, who pretended to concentrate on eating but kept observing Luo Xing, immediately met his gaze, smiled lightly, "What are you looking at me for?"

"This weekend, that's... Didn't I say last time that I would help Qi Lin'an shoot the cover of the magazine? He asked me to shoot at 08:30 on the weekend, but I thought about it. The time is not right. I'm going on a business trip this weekend. I told Qi Lin'an Change the time or go on a business trip and change the person?”

Xing Ke thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Let's go on a business trip with someone else."

Luo Xing froze for a moment, "Okay."

Sure enough, is Qi Lin'an's appeal a priority?

Luo Xing suddenly felt that his favorite cola chicken wings didn't taste good in his mouth anymore, and it tasted slightly bitter for no reason.

"Okay, put your phone down, let's have a good meal first."

Xing Ke actually didn't think much about it, he just felt that Luo Xing hadn't had a good rest recently, and that business trip wasn't a big client, so it would be nice to run errands instead, Luo Xing could just save some energy.

Luo Xing pulled away from the sadness, and nodded obediently. He knew his current identity and status, so it was useless to waste too much emotion thinking about it.

Any silence is worse than active attack.

"I heard from my aunt that you pursued Qi Lin'an in high school, but why didn't you say a few more words to him yesterday?"

Anyway, Qi Lin'an was also mentioned, so it shouldn't be surprising to ask something.

Luo Xing pointed out his doubts directly, because he felt that if he didn't mention these things, there would be more branch lines and he couldn't go any further.

"Heh... why did you mention him when I was having dinner with you?" Xing Ke clicked his lips in dissatisfaction, and said disapprovingly, "I just liked him when I was ignorant, but it doesn't mean I still like him now. It is said that it is first love, but we are not together. Pass."

Xing Ke felt that his tone of explanation to his wife was too poor.

"Then you don't like him?"

Luo Xing doesn't think that Xing Ke can abandon his first love so easily, because he has been in love with Xing Ke for 10 years.

"I don't like it." Xing Ke said firmly, feeling that Luo Xing's question was superfluous.

"Then now...do you have a new crush?" Luo Xing mustered up the courage to ask this question, his face was as calm as autumn water, but in fact his heart seemed to be beating drums, bang bang bang, as if he was about to jumped out.

Xing Ke didn't know how to answer this question.

If he said "yes", he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't scare Luo Xing away, but if he said "no", it would be against his will.

The Adam's apple rolled, and finally, Xing Ke curled up his fingers in Luo Xing's nervous eyes, "No."

Luo Xing picked up the chopsticks again and began to pick up vegetables for himself, his eyes dimmed, "Well, I'll just ask casually."

Xing Ke breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Xing didn't seem to care about the answer just now, Xing Ke drank a sip of wine and said, "What about you?"

It was Luo Xing's turn to not know how to answer this question, but there was not much time left for him to react, so Luo Xing subconsciously shook his head and replied, "Me neither."

Xing Ke's back straightened up involuntarily. He was more happy than disappointed. After all, nothing is better than something. If the person he likes is not him, it will give him a headache all night.

Xing Ke pretended not to care and asked, "What about before?"

"Before..." Luo Xing recalled those experiences in high school, but he still couldn't tell a lie, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "I used to have someone I liked very much. I have loved it silently for a long time."

Xing Ke gripped the wine glass tightly.

"and then?"

"Then I finally had some communication with him. I was satisfied and let go." Luo Xing said lightly, but in fact he never let go. That person was right in front of his eyes.

And that trace of communication was the night when Xing Ke was drunk and had sex with him during the high school graduation party, it must have been just a passing cloud in Xing Ke's life.

Xing Ke must not know who that person is until now.

Luo Xing didn't intend to say anything.

"Really?" Xing Ke took another sip of wine, the corners of his eyes were a little sour, and he didn't want to ask for details, so he muttered, "It's a good thing to let go."

"En." Luo Xing nodded.

Although these words were addressed to Luo Xing, Luo Xing thought that Xing Ke might not have completely let go of Qi Lin'an, so these words were addressed to him as well as to me.

The two of them didn't have any interest anymore, they chatted for a while before finishing their meal, Xing Ke couldn't drive after drinking, so Luo Xing took the main driver.

For some reason, when Luo Xing drove to the apartment, Xing Ke had already fallen asleep in the co-pilot, maybe he had drunk too much and was too busy recently.

Luo Xing knew that Xing Ke didn't really drink much, he could tell from the day of the high school graduation party, but the people in the business circle never found out that Xing Ke didn't drink well, mainly because they didn't dare to ask Xing Ke to toast.

It took some effort for Luo Xing to help Xing Ke back to the room, and even his hard work didn't make Xing Ke lie comfortably on the bed, but he still picked up his cell phone that had been buzzing for a long time.

"Hi, I'm Luo Xing."

"It's unnecessary to be polite. I see that you have gotten very close to my son recently?"

It turned out to be Su Zhixue, the harsh mother.

Luo Xing took a deep breath, and tried to reply her in a polite tone.

"Auntie, I am not only his assistant but also his partner, and it is inevitable to walk together."

During the answering period, Luo Xing did not forget to conscientiously play the script between himself and Xing Ke.

"Do you dare to say that my son will always love you?" Su Zhixue's voice was full of resentment, dissatisfied, "I am just such a son, what will happen to the family business in the future? Can you give birth to our family?"

Luo Xing quickly moved to the balcony to make a phone call, for fear of waking Xing Ke up.

"Auntie, I understand your concerns, but you should respect Xing Ke's wishes, right? Even if I am not standing by Xing Ke's side, Xing Ke will still choose the person he likes. If that person is still a man, you have to Breaking up again and again? You are right, you are just such a son, so it is more important to make him happy than to carry on the family."

It was rare for Luo Xing to talk so much to his elders, especially when the other party was his harsh mother. After he finished speaking in one breath, he reflected that he seemed a little impulsive.

I don't know if there is something inappropriate, Luo Xing wanted to quickly add a few words to ease Su Zhixue's mood.

But before she could speak, Su Zhixue hung up the phone silently.

Luo Xing thought for a few seconds, and had no choice but to send a message to Su Zhixue's phone number: "Auntie, I didn't mean anything against you, nor did I have any malicious intentions, I was just thinking about Xing Ke."

However, this message did not receive a reply.

Luo Xing didn't have time to make up for his slip of the tongue, he had to find a way to fix a drunk man first.

So...Luo Xing looked at Xing Ke who was much bigger than him - how should he change Xing Ke's laundry?
