Seeing it was him, Mint was stunned.

She didn't expect such a coincidence that he would bump into this scene, and a feeling of embarrassment immediately rose from the soles of her feet and spread all over her body.

She bit her lips subconsciously, really not knowing what to say.

"Mr. Guan? Are you going to the dinner party too? Can you give us a ride?" Lin Lin asked blankly.

Mint pinched her arm secretly, trying to stop her from speaking, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way she could save her.

Guan Shouheng was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. At this moment, a white Aston Martin drove slowly from the opposite side. The familiar-looking car body made him frown subconsciously.

"Didi--" Aston Martin whistled at someone.

Mint suddenly shouted in surprise, "Zhuoxi?"

It’s like putting out a fire!

She quickly pulled Lin Lin, who was confused, and said, "My friend is here to pick me up, let's take his car!"

"But Guan..."

"Let's go!" Mint forcefully pulled Lin Lin away.

Zhuo Xi slowly rolled down the car window and opened the car door. A hearty smile bloomed on his handsome face, "Two beauties, please get in the car!"

Mint didn't know why he came here, but she knew he came at the right time!

She pushed Lin Lin to sit in first, and then she followed suit. As soon as the car door closed, she felt much relieved.

First, Lin Lin and Zhuo Xi introduced each other, and then immediately got to the point, "Zhuo Xi, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up from get off work and treat you to dinner, but it seems you already have an appointment." He glanced outside the car window again.

Because Lin Lin was present, Mint couldn't say much. He just sighed and said, "Colleagues are having a dinner, please give us a ride."

"What's the problem?" Zhuo Xi agreed with a smile.

"Thanks."

"Thank you for what? You're just being polite to me, right?" Zhuo Xi smiled heartily, and then slowly reversed the car.

During the process of reversing the car, he also looked back. When he caught a glimpse of Guan Shouheng's profile, his eyes stayed there for a few seconds unconsciously.

Guan Shouheng also looked back warily. Although there was a distance between them, the two men were secretly sizing up each other. For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Mint adjusted her sitting position uncomfortably.

Zhuo Xi knew that there were outsiders present, so he didn't ask any more questions. He immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to reverse the car.

"Where are you going?"

"Chunqiao Restaurant." She gave the address and explained, "It's a treat for the new boss, so we can just follow."

"I know, please fasten your seat belt first." He warned carefully.

"Yeah." Mint lowered his head and fastened his seat belt, and reminded Lin Lin to fasten it too.

Zhuo Xi had already backed up the car completely and was just waiting for the people in front to set off.

Guan Shouheng's car window was still open, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Aston Martin, and his hand on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously.

How dare she?!

They were so intimate together last night, and today she got into another man's car in front of him as if nothing happened?!

Fang Yuan is the one who is entertaining tonight. She originally did not invite Guan Shouheng, but after the scene just now, she changed her tune and said, "Guan Yi, it's better to meet by chance than to invite us. Let's go together?"

"Yes, there are so many people!" Qiao Nawei also said with bad intentions.

Guan Shouheng glanced sideways at the Aston Martin again, clenched his jaw slightly, and uttered two words in a low voice, "That's fine."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, then rolled up the car window and drove out first, followed by other cars.

"Mr. Guan is behind us!" Lin Lin suddenly shouted in surprise.

Mint frowned subconsciously, why is he here too?

Several cars drove one after another, and soon they arrived at the "Chunqiao" restaurant, and the drivers drove their cars into the parking spaces one after another.

Mint and Lin Lin got out of the car one after another. Zhuo Xi was about to say goodbye to them when Qiao Nawei, who had parked the car first, suddenly came over and invited, "Mint, this gentleman is your friend, let him come to our party."

Let’s have a dinner together? I think Miss Fang won’t mind having one more person, right?”

Fang Yuan smiled and replied, "Of course not."

Mint grinded his teeth secretly, what on earth does this damn Qiao Nawei want to do? Isn't it exciting enough?

"This... I'm afraid it's not very convenient. He is not our colleague..."

"Hey, are you trying to hide something secret? Why, are you afraid that we won't steal your boyfriend?" Qiao Nawei said provocatively.

Guan Shouheng also parked the car at this time, and just when he heard the words "boyfriend", his handsome face suddenly became a little gloomier, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the Aston Martin again, as if looking for an answer.

Zhuo Xi was not afraid, nor did he explain. He just smiled and got out of the car, "Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Mint was a little helpless and had no choice but to follow the others stiffly into the restaurant.

Fang Yuan had already reserved a seat, and the restaurant manager personally came out to receive her, "Miss Fang, the private room is ready."

Fang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Lead the way."

Under the leadership of the manager, the group of people came to a large private room. The interior of the private room was stylish and elegant, the environment was comfortable, and it had all the functions.

There are only a dozen of them, but the private room is more than 100 square meters. In addition to the dining table, there are also matching karaoke speakers, a bar, a circular dance floor, a snooker table, etc.

"The environment is nice!" Qiao Nawei raised her eyebrows in praise, but she looked like she had bad intentions.

really--

"Mint, you haven't been to a place like this for a long time, right? You must enjoy it today, because someone will pay for it anyway!" she said deliberately sarcastically.

"I will definitely do it!" Mint gritted his teeth and responded.

"Have fun!" Qiao Nawei turned around proudly while holding her brand-name bag.

Mint stared hard at her back, his eyes burning.

Zhuo Xi put his arm around Mint's shoulders protectively, "Mint..."

She gave him a comforting look and whispered, "I'm fine."

"How about we leave first?" he said worriedly.

"No, she's just like that. I've long been used to it."

Zhuo Xi nodded slightly and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

Guan Shouheng slightly narrowed his sharp eyes, his eyes were cold and cold, as if he wanted to chop off someone's hand.

Fang Yuan was the one hosting the guests, so she should naturally sit at the main seat. However, Guan Shouheng had the highest position, so she decided to take the second seat. She gently placed her handbag on the chair and said half-jokingly, "Guan Yi, you go first."

Sit down, otherwise no one will dare to sit down!"

Guan Shouheng slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and glanced at the bag on the second seat, then sat down without refusing.

Not willing to fall behind, Qiao Nawei deliberately squeezed Mint and Lin Lin away and sat forcefully on the other side of Guan Shouheng.

Lin Lin was a fan of Guan Shouheng, so she was naturally furious, but Mint just stepped aside calmly. Zhuo Xi thoughtfully helped her pull out a chair, and the two of them sat down next to each other.

Guan Shouheng's eyes tightened again.

After sitting down, everyone introduced themselves to each other.

"My name is Zhuo Xi, and I am a friend of Mint." Zhuo Xi distributed his business card to everyone.

Qiao Nawei reached out and took one, and said with a fake smile, "Millennium Gallery? I am really ignorant, I have never heard of it..."

It actually means that it doesn’t seem to be very famous, right?

Zhuo Xi didn't mind and replied calmly, "I am indeed unknown."

Fang Yuan also took one, "Mr. Zhuo is joking, if I remember correctly, your painting "Ocean Blue" seems to have been selected by the organizing committee as the main background image of the exhibition hall of this expo."

"Miss Fang is really well-informed. I only found out about this this afternoon."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

"Zhuoxi, is this true?" Mint asked in surprise, his painting was chosen by the organizing committee?

"Yeah." Zhuo Xi nodded with a smile, "Thanks to your introduction this time, the showroom designer who came to see me said that you recommended my gallery to him last time, and then he went to Millennium.

Then I fell in love with that painting."

Mint was very happy, but she didn't expect that she could really help him.

"I just said casually, the main thing is that your work is good, so the organizing committee will take a fancy to it."

Hearing her affirmation of Zhuo Xi's talent, Guan Shouheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable and felt like he was trapped in a cocoon.

If he hadn't deliberately made things difficult for her and asked her to take charge of the art exhibition hall, how would she have had the opportunity to guide Zhuo Xi?

However, why was she so concerned about Zhuoxi's affairs? She was already very worried at that time, but she was still in the mood to recommend Zhuoxi?

Suddenly, there was another feeling of tightness in my chest.
