Dr. Su, let's have a love affair

Chapter 129: Be a Silent Spectator

Su Xiaoxiao immediately let go of Ji Xingyuan and took out her phone to check. "Honey, he's booked a restaurant. Let's go."

"Okay, I'll clean it up."

Ji Xingyuan turned around to tidy up the documents on his desk. Su Xiaoxiao followed him over and found that there was a wedding photo of theirs on his desk.

"Honey, how come our wedding photos came out so quickly?"

"I printed one out specially." Ji Xingyuan replied with a smile.

"Could it be that you suddenly asked me to take wedding photos yesterday because Gu Jingzhou was coming to your office today?"

"How could he be so proud? Our wedding photos should have been taken sooner or later. Okay, honey, let's go and have dinner. It's not polite to keep the host waiting."

Ji Xingyuan's answer to this matter was a bit perfunctory, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't feel unhappy, nor did she ask endless questions.

On the contrary, she felt sweet in her heart.

Her husband is willing to take such pains to assert his sovereignty over her in front of another man.

It shows that he really cares about her very much.

Although his answer was perfunctory, his love for her was not perfunctory at all.

The two then walked hand in hand and went to Gu Jingzhou's dinner party intimately.

Gu Jingzhou had a selfish motive and booked a restaurant at Roman Western Restaurant, where he had dated Su Xiaoxiao many times before and had dinner with her a few days ago.

When Ji Xingyuan and Su Xiaoxiao went up to the second floor together, he was already waiting for them at the same seat by the floor-to-ceiling window as last time.

"Mr. Gu, sorry for the wait."

"Mr. Ji, you're too polite. I just arrived a while ago. Doctor Su, please order first."

After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, Gu Jingzhou did not hand the menu to Ji Xingyuan who was sitting opposite him.

Instead, he took advantage of the dim restaurant light to look deeply and wantonly at Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, and handed her the menu first.

Today, she accompanied her husband to this business dinner under the name of Mrs. Ji Xingyuan.

Gu Jingzhou deliberately called her that. Isn't this clearly disrespectful to Ji Xingyuan?

It’s a pity that they were willing to hand over a project worth billions to Gu’s company just now.

Su Xiaoxiao had a gentle smile on her face, but in her heart she was eager to protect her husband. She corrected Gu Jingzhou and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm here with my husband today. You should call me Mrs. Ji."

Then, without waiting for Gu Jingzhou's response, she placed the menu in front of Ji Xingyuan and said, "Honey, please help me order. You know my taste anyway."

"Okay, then my husband will help you order."

Ji Xingyuan curled his lips slightly and lowered his head to flip through the menu.

Su Xiaoxiao deliberately showed her affection with Ji Xingyuan in front of him, not caring about his feelings at all.

Gu Jingzhou was so angry that he secretly clenched one hand into a fist, and his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

Fortunately, the lighting in the restaurant was dim, so his embarrassment and anger were not too obvious.

Ji Xingyuan did not order steak. He ordered risotto and soup for Su Xiaoxiao and himself, and then handed the menu to Gu Jingzhou.

When they came to a western restaurant to eat, these two people actually ordered rice and soup. It seemed that Ji Xingyuan was deliberately embarrassing him.

Gu Jingzhou insisted on ordering a steak for himself.

Then he teased with a half-smile on his face: "I remember that Mrs. Ji always liked to order steak every time she came here. When did your taste change? Or is it that Mr. Ji doesn't know your taste well enough?"

"My taste has never changed." Su Xiaoxiao refuted with a calm smile, "I have always preferred rice to steak. It's just that Mr. Gu doesn't understand my taste well enough."

When Ji Xingyuan heard her response to Gu Jingzhou, his narrow eyes raised.

A hand placed under the tablecloth quietly squeezed her hand. Su Xiaoxiao then turned her head and looked at him gently.

Gu Jingzhou was so angry and jealous that he clenched his fist even tighter.

His fingernails dug into the flesh of his palms.

With a resentful look in his eyes, he asked Su Xiaoxiao: "Really? Then, Mrs. Ji's previous preferences were all to accommodate others? If a person is willing to accommodate someone like this, it means that she must care about that person very much, isn't that right, Mr. Ji?"

If you want to embarrass him, you must be strong enough.

Ji Xingyuan smiled calmly.

"My interpretation of this may be different from Mr. Gu's. If a person gives up his or her own preferences to accommodate another person, it can only mean one thing."

"what is the problem?"

"That only means that the other person is not a good match for this person."

"..." Gu Jingzhou's face turned pale and he was immediately speechless.

"Sir, Madam, here's the risotto you ordered." The waiter came over with the food, easing the awkwardness at their table.

Gu Jingzhou originally wanted to take this opportunity of dinner to let Ji Xingyuan know that Su Xiaoxiao and he had often come here for dates.

So that he would be jealous and waver in his feelings for Su Xiaoxiao.

But unexpectedly, he brought humiliation upon himself again.

After the three of them had their meals served, the couple ate together, occasionally whispering softly to each other with their heads leaning close together.

Gu Jingzhou, who was sitting opposite them, was cutting the steak alone and out of place.

Then he swallowed it mouthful by mouthful, tasteless as chewing wax.

The scene of the three of them having dinner together fell into the eyes of Ye Zisan who was sitting not far from them.

She sat alone at a dimly lit table, legs crossed gracefully, a glass of dark blue cocktail held lazily in her slender and elegant right hand.

Occasionally bring it to your lips and take a small sip.

His calm and deep eyes had been watching the three of them with great interest.

What should we pursue most in our life?

Looking at the three of them, she suddenly felt confused.

She was a sensitive and intelligent woman. Four or five years ago, she had noticed the emotional entanglement between the three of them in this Western restaurant.

People who don’t know the truth think that Su Xiaoxiao is an orphan living under someone else’s roof and feel sorry for her.

But she had always envied her silently.

Because the person she couldn't get had been silently loving and protecting this orphan.

If possible, she wished she could exchange with her.

What about the noble status of a daughter of a wealthy family? So what?

Apart from this and the wealth she had already earned that would last her a lifetime, what else did she have?

She has nothing.

There is only a bitter secret love that is hard to give up.

Also, be a silent spectator.

While watching the play silently, I experienced a little bit of the joy of life, that's all.

Like those women who are crazy about love and disregard their bottom line for love, become a troublemaker and a destroyer.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to do that.

However, seeing that Gu Jingzhou still hadn't given up on Su Xiaoxiao and his love for her was clearly written on his face, she actually felt a little envious and admiring in her heart.

Because he had the courage to do what she didn't have the courage to do.

She then waved to a waiter not far away, "Please bring a cocktail to the gentleman at that table having steak, and tell him that their bill is paid for by our restaurant owner."

"Yes, Mr. Ye."
