Chapter 312 Malatang
The two of them were already imagining their wonderful life in the future. Xie Yan watched them whispering to each other, their voices no louder than the flies that were circling around them.
Yi, who was processing messages with his head down, was annoyed by the two of them. He looked up from his phone, his voice flat.
"You two, work overtime with me tonight."
Xu Bei and Feng Anhe: "...Boss? No?"
Xie Yan didn't say anything, but just looked at them expressionlessly. Xu Bei and Feng Anhe were very tactful and made way for Xie Yan to go out.
Two people were muttering behind Xie Yan, and the sound that originally sounded like flies now became more frequent.
"Boss, aren't you going to go home early tonight to watch the TV series your sister-in-law is filming?"
"How can you work overtime at the company? You'd better go back early and cultivate your relationship with your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law needs you very much."
"Aren't we going to talk about proposing? Only with adequate rest can we have inspiration. Boss, please let us take a break. Feng Anhe and I have been very busy these two days, so we want to take advantage of these two days to rest..."
"That's right, that's right..."
Fortunately, this floor is full of You Feng’s senior offices and there are no other idle people hanging around, otherwise I would have been scared to death by these people.
The two of them sang the same tune, trying to make Xie Yan change his mind. Xie Yan, who was walking in front, looked straight ahead, as if he really didn't hear their conversation.
It was not until he reached the office door that Xie Yan suddenly turned around and lifted his narrow eyelids, revealing his deep black eyes.
"Just work overtime tonight to finish that matter and it will be over. After it's done, you two can have two days off."
Xie Yan checked his phone. There were still three hours until the end of get off work at five o'clock. Tang Wan's TV series would start at 8:30. If he acted quickly, he would be able to watch the TV series with Tang Wan in time.
Feng Anhe immediately understood what was going on. He changed his nonchalant attitude and asked Xie Yan seriously and cautiously, "Boss, if you take this step, there will be no turning back."
Xie Yan only raised his eyelids slightly, his sharp eyebrows revealing a hint of coldness: "What belongs to me is mine. Since he takes that matter so seriously, I will take it away."
After saying that, he opened the door of the office and walked in.
Xu Bei reached out and patted Feng Anhe on the shoulder: "Didn't you know him well enough when you were in college? He will never change his mind once he makes a decision."
Feng Anhe smiled bitterly, his voice muffled and low: "I just think that the eldest brother should have a more complete and better family."
Xu Bei didn't say anything, but patted Feng Anhe on the shoulder, his eyes turned to Xie Yan in the office, his voice was vague, as if he was talking to himself.
"The eldest has found someone he wants to be a family with, and the others may not be that important to him."
Feng Anhe felt a little uncomfortable. He thought Xie Yan relied too much on Tang Wan. He looked at the door and discussed with Xu Bei in a low voice. His voice was so low that it could not be any lower, almost a whisper.
"I don't mean to pour cold water on you, but what if Tang Wan has a conflict with the boss in the future and wants to leave the boss..."
Xu Bei immediately put a finger to his lips, shook his head slightly, and lowered his voice even more.
"Let's not discuss this matter now..."
Although neither of them spoke the answer, they both knew it in their hearts.
If Tang Wan leaves Xie Yan one day in the future, Xie Yan will definitely go... crazy.
……
Tang Wan was awakened by her cell phone. She dazedly touched the phone next to her ear and said in a clearly distressed voice: "Hello?"
Xie Yan called Tang Wan while waiting for the red light. Tang Wan's somewhat dazed voice came from the car's Bluetooth headset, and Xie Yan couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips.
"Are you sleeping?"
Tang Wan turned over and nodded without blinking, "Yeah, I'm sleeping..."
The sound was drawn out, as if I was about to go back to dreaming again in the next second.
It started to drizzle outside, and the raindrops seemed to fall on the car windows. Xie Yan turned on the wipers, and the raindrops on the glass were quickly wiped away without a trace.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring you dinner when I get back."
His voice was not high, but low and deep as if he was coaxing someone, his voice was mellow yet with a hint of teasing.
Tang Wan could hear the voice from the car speakers on the other end of the phone being lowered, sometimes far away, sometimes near, with an ambiguous and seductive atmosphere.
She got up from the sofa in a daze, and the iPad she used to watch TV series before going to bed fell to the side of the sofa. Tang Wan reached out and turned on the floor lamp next to the sofa. The darkness in the space was immediately dispelled, and the dim light was accompanied by the crackling sound of raindrops outside.
She put on her slippers, picked up her phone and walked towards the balcony. Xie Yan could hear the "click, click" sound of slippers on the phone, and then Tang Wan's voice, which was a little more sober, clear and cheerful like a little bird.
"It's raining outside, when will you be back?"
The light turned from red to green, and the car in front of him started to move. He said, "I just came out of a dinner party."
In fact, you could just walk a few hundred meters straight and turn a corner to get home, but Xie Yan suddenly became interested and deliberately said the opposite.
"Oh, then just drive carefully on your way home, and I'll just order takeout."
Tang Wan touched the small flowers on the balcony and lamented that in this kind of weather, the takeaway would definitely be late, so she might as well just eat something at home.
"Rice noodles? Rice rolls? Or the spicy hot pot downstairs?"
Tang Wan checked the time. It was only 7:30, and there was still an hour before the TV show started to air in the evening. She said nonchalantly, "Malatang, please. I want the kind with more sesame sauce."
After Tang Wan finished speaking, she remembered an important thing, and her voice immediately became depressed, and she cried to Xie Yan.
"I just remembered that the Malatang restaurant downstairs from our house doesn't do takeout, only dine-in."
"It's all your fault. I didn't want to eat it."
Xie Yan restrained his laughter: "You still want to blame me for this matter, Tang Wan, you are really hypocritical."
Double standard is a new word that Xie Yan learned recently on the Internet. It has become his catchphrase recently, and the main target of his use is Tang Wan.
As expected, Tang Wan on the other side immediately gritted her teeth and corrected him: "Don't use this word carelessly, okay? How can I be hypocritical? If you don't know how to use it, don't use it carelessly. You are so unsophisticated..."
Xie Yan covered the receiver of his cell phone and whispered to the boss, "Northeastern spicy hotpot, the kind with more sesame sauce."
Even the tone of his voice was filled with an obvious gentle smile, which startled the customers in the store.
The two of them were talking on the phone, and no one knew what they were talking about. The signal on Xie Yan's end seemed to be a bit bad, and Tang Wan didn't hear his voice for most of the day.
Just as I was saying "Hello, Hello, Hello" to my phone in confusion, I heard the sound of a password unlocking the door.
Tang Wan took her cell phone and walked towards the door, wanting to see who was there, but the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Xie Yan stood at the door, his body still damp from the lingering rain.
He raised the take-out box in his hand with a smile on his face, and it shone under the light, making Tang Wan's heart soften.
"Malatang, the kind with extra sesame sauce."
