Chapter 320 - "Wouldn't it be nice to have him as your wife?" (2)
Tong Xuelu thought about it some and said, “Where is your cafeteria? I would like to make you a bowl of birthday noodles personally.”
Wen Rugui looked at her with his black eyes and pinched shut his lips a little. “I’ll take you there.”
Tong Xuelu agreed and the two walked out of the office and toward the canteen.
The canteen was a bit of distance from Wen Rugui’s office and they were alone when they were half way there.
Tong Xuelu’s eyes rolled and, letting out a cry suddenly, she started falling in Wen Rugui’s direction.
Wen Rugui held her hand reflexively and asked nervously, “What happened? Are you not feeling well?"
Tong Xuelu held Wen Rugui’s hand with one of her hands and placed the other one on his chest.
Oh boy, he has defined pectoral muscles.
Tong Xuelu stroked it out of reflex and her hand happened to be over his nipple.
Wen Rugui felt like he had been struck my lightning and his entire body was electrified.
His ears, face, and neck all turned red visibly.
Not only did he hold his hand, he was also stroked by her……
Not only did Wen Rugui felt that his heart was beating out of control, he also felt difficult in breathing!
Worried that someone would walk past them, Tong Xuelu pulled her hand back reluctantly and stood back up straight. “Oh, I tripped. But I am fine now.”
Wen Rugui regained himself. “Oh oh. I am glad you are alright.”
So she tripped. That was why she placed her hand on his chest.
As for the stroking, she must just have been nervous.
Yup, that must be it.
Tong Xuelu had no idea that Wen Rugui had voluntarily explained away all of her inappropriate behaviors.
“My foot still hurt a little though. Do you think you can hold my hand on our way to the canteen, Rugui?”
Wen Rugui nodded. “Sure.”
That was when he finally focused on holding her hand. His heart throbbed madly.
This was the first time he held a girl’s hand after being single for 25 years.
Her hand was small and soft. It made him not want to let go of it.
A warm feeling went from their joined hands through his entire body. Wen Rugui’s lips curved upward reflexively.
The same could be said for Tong Xuelu.
His hand was large and warm. It felt very nice to hold.
The two held hands all the way to the cantenn.
Wen Rugui felt a tinge of disappointment when he looked at his hand after he had let her go.
Wouldn’t it be so nice to hold her hand forever?
***
Tong Xuelu made a bowl of birthday noodles for Wen Rugui in the canteen.
The chef at the canteen was stunned by her noodle-making skill.
They never expected Wen Rugui’s girlfriend to be so good looking and had such cooking skills.
The aroma from the noodles filled the canteen after it was done.
All the other patrons gulped when they smelled it.
“Chef, give me an order of those noodles.”
The canteen chef, “Right, first you will have to have a girlfriend who can make that!”
The patrons, “……”
And that was how everyone learned quickly that not only was Wen Rugui’s girlfriend pretty and a good cook, her cooking was simply amazing!
Tong Xuelu stayed at the base until the afternoon.
Wen Rugui borrowed a car to take her back into the city.
While Tong Xuelu was spending time with Wen Rugui, someone went looking for her at the restaurant.
This person was none other than Fang Wanyuan, Fang Jingyuan’s dog-poop brother.
Fang Wanyuan had felt very disturbed ever since he learned that Tong Xuelu had a boyfriend from Fang Jingyuan the other day.
On one hand, he worked that Tong Xuelu was really not into him. On the other hand, he worried that what Fang Jingyuan said might be true.
He had decided to come and see for himself after struggling with it for a few days.
Low and behold, he did not see Tong Xuelu for a long, long time after arriving at the restaurant.
He finally had no choice but to look for an excuse and asked one of the servers, “Your food tasted different from the pervious time when I was here. Did you have a different chef?”
Meng Qingqing, “Oh, you must be talking about Manager Tong. She currently doubles as both our manager and our chef.”
Fang Wanyuan nodded, “That must be her then.”
Meng Qingqing, “Manager Tong took the day off. It’s her boyfriend’s birthday and she went to celebrate it with him.”
Stunned.
Shocked.
Gloomy.
Fang Wanyuan was dazed.
Tong Xuelu really had a boyfriend?
What about him then?
