Chapter Twenty: The First Date

  Tang Xiaofeng called the waiter, took the menu from his hand and politely handed it to Li Na with a smile, saying "What would you like to eat? Please order whatever you want, I'm treating today!"

  Wu Yue Lou in Tengyang City is also one of the higher-end restaurants in the local catering industry. It stands on the banks of Jinghe River, and looking into the distance, all you can see is the dark night sky and the river water blending together as one, making it impossible to distinguish between the two. As the saying goes: "Misty mountains lock in the mist, heaven connects with the tail of the water, and water connects with heaven." The distant river water, under the dim light of the stars, looks like scales on a fish's back floating on the surface, or like mischievous children constantly jumping towards the shore.

  When Tang Xiao Feng was admiring the beautiful scenery of Jing Shui River outside Wu Yue Building, Li Na had already ordered the dishes and even got a bottle of beer for Tang Xiao Feng and a bottle of fruit juice for herself. She opened the beer and poured a full cup for Tang Xiao Feng, then poured a cup of fruit juice for herself: "Don't think too much about it, I don't have any thoughts about you, I just wanted to thank you for helping with my sister's treatment."

  Tang Xiao Feng looked at Li Na, thinking to himself that others could tell lies without even blushing, but this girl's face was already completely flushed before she had even opened her mouth. It was clear that she hadn't reached a certain level yet. With a faint smile on his face, he raised his wine cup: "You still haven't told me, how is your sister's body now?"

  Tang Xiaofeng downed the beer in one gulp, then picked up a slice of pickled lotus root and chewed on it, saying casually, "Actually, your face turned red when you were talking just now!"

  Li Na had just taken a sip of juice and "pfft!" spat it out, directly spraying Tang Xiao Feng's face. Tang Xiao Feng looked at Li Na with embarrassment, while Li Na bent down and started coughing violently. This person was really speechless, how could he come up and reveal her secrets right away? One sentence almost choked Li Na to death.

  Tang Xiao Feng awkwardly picked up a napkin to wipe away the juice on his face, his tongue licking the sweet and sour taste on his lips. He thought of how this juice came from Li Na's tender cherry lips, shining with a dazzling light, opening and closing gently, spraying out fragrant breath, his heart couldn't help but flutter, only regretting that it was an indirect taste, wishing he could directly savor her soft lips.

  Li Na didn't know that Tang Xiao Feng was thinking of something despicable in his heart. After finally finishing her cough, she saw Tang Xiao Feng's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but laugh again, biting her cherry lips: "Sorry..." After all, it was her own indecent behavior that caused Tang Xiao Feng's current embarrassment.

  Tang Xiao Feng nonchalantly shook his head: "It's okay, nothing that comes out of a beauty's mouth is dirty."

  This sentence is full of provocative meaning, and what's even more excessive is that Tang Xiaofeng stretched out his tongue to lick the corner of his lips with the remaining juice, Li Na was so ashamed that her cheeks were flying red, how could she not see it, this guy really has no shame.

  Li Na restrained her smile and put on a gentlewoman's demeanor: "Mm, be serious, don't joke around." After that, she didn't pay any more attention to Tang Xiao Feng, as if she had a grudge against the food, and continued eating. Although Li Na was also a bit hungry, she stopped after eating a little. Tang Xiao Feng, on the other hand, continued eating, his pace steady, although he wasn't chewing slowly, there was absolutely no feeling of gobbling down his food.

  Looking at Li Na's hesitant expression, Tang Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile and glance at her: "Speak up, if you don't say it now, then we'll have to wait until the next meal."

  "Hmm..." Li Na suddenly realized that she had been feeling very passive in front of Tang Xiao Feng lately. She thought to herself, "Who said we'd have dinner together again?" This person was indeed shameless. Taking a deep breath, she said: "Okay, I just wanted to tell you..."

  "Hey……" Before Nina could finish, a man in his twenties walked over with a glass of red wine in hand, wearing a name-brand dress shirt and tie, looking very surprised: "Nina, I didn't expect to run into you here too, what a surprise."

  "Manager Qian..." Li Na was also very surprised, she chose to eat here only for one purpose, which was to avoid running into other colleagues, but unexpectedly ran into Qian Lei. Qian Lei was the deputy manager of Silver River Mall in Tengyang City, who was transferred from Jinzhou Silver River Mall last year, and is currently the youngest deputy manager of Silver River Mall in Tengyang City at the age of 27. What made Li Na feel embarrassed was that Qian Lei had been pursuing her, although she hadn't said anything, Qian Lei was undoubtedly one of the most powerful pursuers, with a good height, handsome appearance, and at the age of 27 or 28, he was at his most charming time, not to mention being her direct supervisor, who also lived in a company-arranged house and drove a company-provided Passat, with comprehensive conditions that were the best.

  "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, I'm just sitting next door." Qian Yue said, looking at Tang Xiao Feng with a gentlemanly demeanor: "Li Na, may I ask you to introduce this friend? You also know that I've just arrived in Tengyang and don't have many friends here. Your friends are also my friends."

  Li Na could only secretly curse her bad luck, introducing them: "Tang Xiao Feng is from our People's Hospital, the emergency department. Xiao Feng, this is Qian Xue, he's the deputy manager of our company, Silver River Mall, transferred from headquarters."

  Tang Xiao Feng's eyes flashed a hint of anger that was hard to detect, Li Na had just introduced him and yet she called him "Xiao Feng" in such a familiar tone.

  "Hello, nice to meet you. Friends of Li Na are my friends." Qian Lei quickly covered up his anger and politely extended his hand to shake hands with Tang Xiao Feng.

  Tang Xiaofeng took a look at Li Na, who didn't notice anything, and unexpectedly found that she was even more innocent than he thought. Tang Xiaofeng also simply shook hands with Qian Lei, without saying much. He had already guessed seven or eight parts of the situation, so he didn't have a good impression of Qian Lei, and naturally wouldn't have a good attitude either.

  Seeing Tang Xiaofeng casually shake hands with himself and then sit down to continue eating, Qian Lei was somewhat displeased, but with Li Na present, Qian Lei endured it.

  "It's quite boring for me to eat alone over there. My place has a great view of the riverbank at night, why don't we go over together?"

  Tang Xiao Feng didn't even lift his head as he refused, "No need, we're almost full already."

  When was it your turn to speak, originally invited Li Na to have dinner together, but before Li Na could open her mouth, she was interrupted by this young kid who hadn't even had time to wash the milk off his lips, and he even preemptively refused. It's not easy to deal with him, a doctor on emergency duty, looking at his age, he's probably an intern, when I go back to find his hospital leader to discuss business, it's enough for you to suffer just by mentioning it.

  "It's okay, I have a good relationship with the hospital leaders and we often do business together. Besides, my relationship with Li Na is also close, no problem, let's just forget about it and move on." Qian Lei said confidently: "I heard that working in the emergency department is tough and doesn't pay well, and you can't learn much either. Let me help you find a job in another department when we get back. I'll make a call to the vice president, and he'll definitely transfer you to a good place. And if you have any problems in the hospital in the future, just come to me, no one will dare to bully you."

  Qian Kun's meaning was very clear, kid, better be honest, otherwise you'll get what's coming to you. Cough... cough..." Li Na was drinking juice and choked on Qian Kun's words, coughing repeatedly. You help him adjust! Do you know who he is? Others bully him, Li Na remembered that night at the hospital emergency department asking the nurse about Tang Xiao Feng, she had a general understanding of Tang Xiao Feng, he was the director of the emergency department's treasure, how could you help him adjust, others bully him. Li Na looked at Tang Xiao Feng and found him still eating, thinking what's wrong with this guy, where did that thick-skinned energy go earlier, earlier he didn't lose out to himself, now who knows what he's thinking.

  Li Na hastily mediated: "Manager Qian, I think we should just drop it. We're almost done eating anyway."

  Tang Xiao Feng had already finished eating the food on his plate, wiped his hands with two paper towels and looked at the time: "I saw you looking out of the glass earlier when I was outside, during lunch you kept looking over here, didn't expect to run into you just as I was finishing up, what a coincidence! I suggest you should go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for a good check-up, our hospital has the best eye doctors. If you go to the emergency room and ask for me, I can give you an 80% discount on your bill. If this little thing is handled by some deputy director it would be making a big deal out of nothing, just look for me."

  As soon as Tang Xiao Feng said this, Li Na suddenly understood that this must be a deliberate encounter manufactured by Qian Lei. Originally, she had been holding back her anger at being bullied by Tang Xiao Feng and hadn't had the opportunity to vent it out.

  "Qian Lei, you're going too far."

  "Li Na, listen to me."

  "And she's my girlfriend, don't get it wrong." Tang Xiao Feng didn't want to say more to Qian Lei, and just then his phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was his younger brother calling, so he said goodbye to Li Na and headed towards the counter. Qian Lei anxiously tried to explain things to Li Na, but she wasn't listening and got up to follow Tang Xiao Feng as he left.
