Regretful, Mr. Lin's pursuit of his wife ended in a funeral

Chapter 230 Restaurant Encounter

"No, no." Gu Xiqing's cheeks flushed, and she quickly waved her hands, "It's just... I'm sorry! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Xie..."

Her voice trailed off, becoming awkward and unnatural.

Nicholas Tse understood what was going on, looked away, and drove the car into the parking lot of the private restaurant.

I got out of the car, picked up my umbrella, and opened the passenger door. "We're here."

Gu Xiqing was stunned for a moment. After getting out of the car, she kept a fist's distance from him to avoid physical contact.

Seeing her defensive look, Tingxiao Xie raised the corner of his mouth slightly, an imperceptible arc.

Give the umbrella to the waiter who comes to greet you.

The restaurant manager who was on patrol saw Xie Nicholas Tse and came up to greet him with a smile, "Mr. Xie, is it still the same seat?"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xiqing again, gossip flashing in his eyes.

"This is Mr. Gu from Tiansheng Group in S City, my friend." Xie Nicholas introduced him to the manager naturally.

The manager suddenly understood and said, "I understand." He extended his hand and looked at Gu Xiqing, "Hello, Mr. Gu. We will have dinner later. If there is anything that does not suit your taste, please let me know."

Gu Xiqing held his hand and said, "Okay."

After a brief greeting, the manager took them to a private room upstairs.

When I went upstairs, several guests upstairs were talking and coming downstairs.

One of them saw Xie Nicholas Tse and immediately greeted him, "Mr. Xie."

Xie Tingxiao looked up, saw the person coming, and nodded slightly, "Mr. Yan."

But his eyes fell on the man next to him, a man he had seen at the auction house.

Gu Xiqing obediently stood aside with the manager to make way for everyone.

As an outsider, she should reduce her presence as much as possible.

But why does my neck feel itchy, as if it’s being stared at by a ray of hot infrared light?

He looked up in confusion and met Lin Qingxuan's emotionless eyes.

The two people's eyes met lightly in the air, and then separated calmly.

Gu Xiqing looked away, and Lin Qingxuan withdrew his gaze.

"It's rare to see Mr. Xie with someone of the opposite sex around him, why don't you introduce them to us?"

Yan Zhou looked at Gu Xiqing with interest.

None of them had ever seen Nicholas Tse eat out with a member of the opposite sex, or even just eat out alone.

This...something's going on.

Xie Tingxiao introduced everyone in front of him slowly and steadily. Although he was smiling, everyone shuddered. "Mr. Gu from Tiansheng Group in City S is the future long-term partner of our Xie Group. You all should have business dealings with Mr. Gu in the future. But please don't bully her just because she's a girl."

He made it very clear that he was protecting the person next to him.

Not only did Yan Zhou put away the playful smile on his face, but everyone else also consciously withdrew their gossiping gazes.

"So you're Mr. Xie's partner. Nice to meet you. I'm Yan Zhou."

Yan Zhou hid the surprise in his eyes and quickly extended a hand of friendship.

Gu Xiqing shook hands with him and talked, "Nice to meet you, I'm Gu Xiqing."

They were shocked, and so was she.

She and Tingxiao Xie only had some contact because of the bronze beast-faced jar. Apart from that, she never thought there would be any subsequent encounters.

Xie's long-term partner? Was he going to sign a long-term cooperation contract with her?

"Who is this person next to Mr. Yan?" Xie Tingxiao saw that Lin Qingxuan's face was gloomy and his eyes were dark, and he remembered that he had passed by him at the auction house. This person should also know Gu Xiqing.

"Lin Qingxuan, from the Lin family in S City." Yan Zhou quickly answered for Lin Qingxuan. Halfway through his sentence, an idea suddenly occurred to him, "Come to think of it, Qingxuan is also from S City. Does that mean he knows Mr. Gu?"
