Chapter 266: Disappointed?
"Mhm!"
"Mhm!"
"Mhm!"
What the hell!
Five minutes on the phone, and the President only said those three "mhm" words.
Even if they tried to imagine, there’s no room left for imagination!
However, when the President hung up the phone and started a meeting with the speed of a whirlwind, nailing down more than ten projects in ten minutes, they were dumbfounded once again!
The President is in such a rush, he must be eager to end the meeting!
Sure enough, the next second, they heard the President’s indifferent voice.
"Meeting adjourned!"
Having said that, Bai Chenyao stood up and marched out.
Behind him, a group of stunned statue-like followers all stood at attention!
Half an hour later, Gu Tiantian arrived at Bai Chenyao’s office.
Seeing Bai Chenyao looking at some documents, she hesitated for a moment, then walked over with a smile.
"A Yao!"
Bai Chenyao glanced at her, noticing her crescent-eyed smile, looking charmingly cute, squinted slightly.
"What’s up?"
Uh-oh!
Gu Tiantian felt guilty, and the smile on her face faltered for a moment.
Watching Bai Chenyao’s deep black eyes, she pressed her lips together.
"I came to discuss something, but let’s have lunch first, it’s almost noon!"
Bai Chenyao squinted his eyes again, giving Gu Tiantian a once-over from head to toe.
"Serve me first!"
Huh?
Gu Tiantian was a bit puzzled, but when she saw Bai Chenyao getting up and striding towards the lounge, she started to feel uneasy!
For cryin’ out loud...
Is he taking the opportunity to lash out?
But after all, she does need his help, and between her and Bai Chenyao, haven’t there been enough of those kinds of things?
Thinking this way, Gu Tiantian took a deep breath and quickly followed him.
When she walked in and saw Bai Chenyao sitting at a small dining table in the lounge, with four dishes and a soup accompanied by two sets of tableware, she was a bit dumbfounded.
This...
Actually...
Maybe because she really never expected this situation, and it was too unexpected, Gu Tiantian found herself unable to comprehend, feeling guilty and embarrassed for having misunderstood Bai Chenyao. She wished she could just crawl into a hole.
"Come here!"
Bai Chenyao didn’t miss any change in Gu Tiantian’s expression. Seeing her enter with a mix of grief and resignation, and then noticing the food on the table, her expression turning blank, as if she were a rabbit caught in headlights.
Then, her fair and tender cheeks started to blush, even her earlobes turned peach pink.
Her eyes flickered around, not daring to meet his gaze!
Slightly squinting his eyes, Bai Chenyao gave a faint smile.
"Disappointed?"
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Gu Tiantian instantly puffed up, but instead of reacting with anger, she hurriedly shook her head in denial, her sincerity awkwardly apparent.
"No... no... I’m... I’m just very surprised, surprised that the food was delivered already, so fast."
If she recalled correctly, even with the fastest delivery from the place she ordered, it would take half an hour.
And it’s lunchtime now, lots of orders; it couldn’t possibly arrive before she did.
When she was on the phone with Bai Chenyao in the car, she mentioned she was coming over to have lunch with him and asked what he wanted to eat.
But when she asked him what to eat, Bai Chenyao didn’t make a sound, so in the end, she had to suggest herself.
Braised crab, diced ham and corn with pork, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried bok choy, and clear bass soup.
Yep, those were the ones she said.
Throughout the call, she kept talking, and Bai Chenyao barely said a word.
Looking back, Gu Tiantian realized that Bai Chenyao only uttered three "mhm" words throughout.
