Chapter 197 Trust

Chapter 197 Trust
Xu Mingyuan made a phone call, and when he learned that the public relations department had taken the client to another drinking party, he no longer cared about it.

After asking the hotel to send a few dishes, Xu Mingyuan acted as if nothing had happened and invited the girl to come over for dinner.

Tao Shuxin was still very vigilant, especially since it was her first time to be alone in the same room with a boy. Even if Xu Mingyuan had someone in his heart, he would not let her down.

Seeing the little girl being so defensive towards him, Xu Mingyuan could not help but sigh.

Thinking back to the time when Tao Shuxin hinted in various ways that he should stay at her house for a night, Xu Mingyuan did not dare to agree, for fear that he would not be able to get out of bed.

Turning back at this moment, I really got my comeuppance.

Tao Shuxin likes to eat spare ribs. The hotel’s chef is very good. The girl was so happy with the meal that she hummed a song while chewing the bones.

Xu Mingyuan said he was hungry, but in fact he didn't eat much. He just drank some soup to nourish his stomach.

Tao Shuxin didn't feel comfortable sitting next to Xu Mingyuan, so she just sat opposite him.

But when Tao Shuxin saw that Xu Mingyuan was feeling uncomfortable after drinking, but still remembered to pick up some ribs for her to eat, she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

Are you too distrustful of him?

Thinking of how Xu Mingyuan usually made her feel at ease, Tao Shuxin felt that she had overreacted.

Xu Mingyuan is so concerned about his reputation, I must be making him very sad, right?
Tao Shuxin thought about it and decided to move a stool and sit over.

"Hey, move aside. I'm drinking soup. This little four-legged table is not stable. Don't spill it."

Seeing her suddenly rushing towards him, Xu Mingyuan hurriedly held onto the small round table.

"Just touch it!"

Tao Shuxin suddenly became furious and bumped into him several times, watching him frantically pressing the table.

I have made up my mind with great difficulty, and not only do you not appreciate it, but you even care about the broken soup in the small bowl. If it spills, can't you just get another bowl?

Xu Mingyuan put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites, picked up the MP4 on the table, and looked through what Tao Shuxin had been fiddling with all afternoon out of boredom.

Tao Shuxin let down her guard and didn't mind when her soft waist was hugged. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan hadn't eaten much, she stuffed a piece of boneless pork ribs into his mouth.

"I'm full. Shall we go back to school now?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"We just finished eating, take a break first, do you want to eat more? If not, I'll ask the waiter to take it away, I can't stand the smell of oil."

"Uh...then take it away."

I have eaten up all my favorite spare ribs and almost picked out all the crystal shrimps. My little belly is so bloated. If I keep eating, I will gain weight.

Tao Shuxin was greedy, and if the food was not taken away from her, she would always want to take a few more bites.

"This MP4 is so expensive. About units were given away today. Is it necessary to give out such expensive gifts for your company's annual meeting?" Tao Shuxin asked.

Xu Mingyuan wanted to give her one to play with before, but Tao Shuxin refused. Today, when she saw that the guests coming and going had one, she accepted a bag of gifts.

"If something can't be sold, it's already a loss. It's better to give it away as a favor. Maybe someone around the customer will like it and buy one," said Xu Mingyuan.

"Will this be useful? It's a loss, right?"

"Fortunately, the total cost is not much. All the accessories of this MP4 cost less than 800 yuan. The production line can be used elsewhere. In the end, the only loss is the advertising fee."

"Damn, the profit of MP4 is so high? You are a black-hearted businessman!"

Tao Shuxin couldn't help but swear.

"How can you calculate it like that? Production, labor, logistics, publicity, all of these things cost money, so the gross profit is just okay."

Seeing that she was interested, Xu Mingyuan explained it to her.

Tao Changming called Tao Shuxin today to let his daughter get in touch with society earlier and let her see what Xu Mingyuan does all day.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan didn't mind Tao Shuxin's participation in his career.

He knew that when the tide of love receded, both men and women would value interests. Xu Mingyuan had seen countless cases of property being divided after divorce. The more property there was, the more they would guard against such a thing happening.

But after years of contact, he had already made up his mind what kind of girl Tao Shuxin was.

She is simple now, and she will be straightforward in the future. What remains unchanged is an unswerving heart.

Xu Mingyuan no longer had the recklessness of his youth, and wanted to experience a comfortable and peaceful life. Tao Shuxin, who was like a flower about to bloom, was the best choice.

If twenty years passed without him being able to figure out what kind of girl Tao Shuxin was, Xu Mingyuan felt that this was his fate.

"I saw what movie you downloaded, The Legend of 1900? How did you find this movie?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"It's a movie recommended by the teacher. The name of this movie is easy to remember, so I downloaded it when I remembered it. Have you seen it?"

"No, how about we watch a movie first?"

Xu Mingyuan seemed to have watched it many years ago, but had long forgotten the plot.

But even if he has seen it, he will say he hasn't seen it.

"Okay, let me see how long it takes. Oh my god, it's going to take more than two hours. How can I finish watching it?"

Tao Shuxin glanced at the progress bar and immediately widened her eyes.

"Do you have to watch it all at once? This isn't a movie theater. Are you stupid?"

"That's right, hey! I've reminded you countless times! Don't call me stupid again!"

Tao Shuxin patted him resentfully.

Xu Mingyuan's waist hurt from watching it while sitting in the chair, so he stood up with the MP4.

Tao Shuxin was so engrossed in watching that her eyes followed the screen. Before she knew it, she was being led away by Xu Mingyuan and the next moment she was leaning against the head of the bed.

Tao Shuxin was wary, but she was too foolish to think about it and let Xu Mingyuan put his arm around her shoulders and watch the movie together.

When Tao Shuxin came to her senses, she found that her head was resting on Xu Mingyuan's chin.

She wanted to sit up, but felt there was no need. Xu Mingyuan was still very honest, so she felt relieved and continued watching.

After watching a movie, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Tao Shuxin is a sentimental girl, and she has a bit of the style of an artistic girl.

When the movie contained philosophical thoughts and was a tragedy, I couldn't help but discuss the plot with Xu Mingyuan.

Worried about being teased for wearing a couple watch, Tao Shuxin took it off in advance.

At this moment, Tao Shu suddenly noticed that Xu Mingyuan had placed his mobile phone far away. He felt something was wrong and quickly leaned forward to get the phone back.

The slider phone lit up with a click, and Tao Shuxin saw the time.

"Ah?! It's almost ten o'clock! Let's go, it's time to check the dormitories. I'm done for! I'm going to die..."

Tao Shuxin jumped up immediately, but was then pulled down by Xu Mingyuan.

"It's too late to go back now. I've already called Teacher Ye and asked her to tell your counselor that you won't be returning to the dormitory tonight."

It takes half an hour to take a taxi and more than ten minutes to run to the dormitory. In fact, it is still possible to make it in time, but Xu Mingyuan doesn't want to go through the trouble.

"!?"

Tao Shuxin was stunned, and then glared at Xu Mingyuan in anger.

Xu Mingyuan was naturally not afraid of her seeing it, and he looked indifferent. Instead, it was Tao Shuxin's own face that turned red first.

"Okay! I knew you had bad intentions!" Tao Shuxin shouted while clenching her fists.

I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect that this bastard Xu Mingyuan had already made plans!

I'm still watching a movie stupidly...

"You know shit. The company has booked the floor, so there should be some rooms available. Go ask the waiter for a room card. Get up early tomorrow and let's go back to school together. I'm still drunk, so how can I drive you back to school?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! If you say so, why don't you let go?"

Tao Shuxin spoke cautiously and suspiciously, fearing that it would irritate Xu Mingyuan and cause him to turn into a big bad wolf.

I looked around, wondering how to resist. I was just a little white rabbit, with weak hands and feet, and prone to cramps. I was eaten in just a few bites.

Seeing that she was so nervous that she was about to cry, Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to pick up the phone on the bedside table, call the housekeeping department, and ask the waiter to send over a room card.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the room attendant whispered outside the door: "Hello, do you want a room card?"

"Yes." Xu Mingyuan shouted towards the door, and then said to Tao Shuxin helplessly: "Go ahead, as if I did something to you. Do you think I am so bad? When did I break my promise? Sigh."

"How dare you say you keep your word? I don't know who told you to send me back to school..."

Tao Shuxin sarcastically said, his eyes full of mockery.

Tao Shuxin stared at him closely, and caught Xu Mingyuan's fleeting embarrassment. Knowing that she had won, she snorted lightly, and left with her coat and bag in a proud manner.

As usual, Xu Mingyuan called Xiao Yangzhi and listened to her tell what happened at school today.

After learning that he would be back home for the New Year holiday in two days, Yang Zhi happily hung up the phone, thinking about how to launch a night raid so as not to alert his brother...

Tao Shuxin, on her part, shyly told her roommate that she would not be returning to the dormitory tonight.

After explaining for a long time, he finally convinced his roommate that it was his father who came to Jiangcheng, and he really didn't come out with Xu Mingyuan to get a room...

Tao Shuxin often travels with her mother during holidays. This is not her first time staying in a hotel and she is familiar with the hotel environment. However, this is her first time staying alone, so she feels a little nervous.

Thinking that Xu Mingyuan was next door, Tao Shuxin thought for a long time and called him.

"Aren't you next door? The phone bill is too much, why do you have to call?
"What do you care about me? Are you asleep?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"No." Xu Mingyuan was speechless.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I slept too long in the afternoon and now I can't sleep."

"I can't sleep either..."

"That's great, come and watch a movie with me."

"Well, you bad bastard, you still want to deceive me, right?" Tao Shuxin shouted in a low voice.

"Oh, is there no trust between us?" Xu Mingyuan sighed.

"No la!"

Tao Shuxin quickly hung up the phone.

But not long after, Xu Mingyuan's room was opened and the little girl, dressed neatly, was lying at the door and peeking.

However, the hair near the temples was stained with water droplets, and it seemed that she had just washed it.

"What are you doing here so late at night? I'm warning you, don't touch me."

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan hadn't taken off his clothes, Tao Shuxin boldly came in.

There is trust. Since Xu Mingyuan agreed, Tao Shuxin is actually quite confident in him.

After arguing for a while, Xu Mingyuan ordered a fruit plate. The two of them ate the fruit and turned on a movie to watch.

The clock slowly moved to the early morning.

Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized that the little girl had stopped making any sound. When he looked again, Tao Shuxin had fallen asleep with her mouth open.

This silly girl really trusts him, Xu Mingyuan shook his head.

But he didn't do anything, just turned off the light and covered her with the quilt.

A simple-minded little girl will always let down her guard...
