1423 Chapter 1424, can you pick me up?

At 3:23 pm, Xiang Yi left the hotel and drove to a shopping mall. He wanted to buy a gift for Xiang Jinghan and Shi Nuannuan.
As a man, he walked in the shopping mall and picked out a gift. Before he knew it, it was already dusk.
After he picked out the two gifts, it was already 6 pm when he returned to the hotel.
There was still half an hour before the dinner.
He changed into a set of clothes and then set off to the designated location.
Just as he arrived at the parking lot, his phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID: Helian Manli.
He was stunned for a moment and then picked up.
“Hello?”
“Xiang Yi.”Helian Manli’s gentle voice sounded from the phone.
In front of him, she would always be this kind of woman, gentle and generous.
Xiang Yi still felt a little apologetic towards the last time when he almost pushed her off the rooftop and left her alone in shock.
“Mm,”he replied softly.
“Are you going to seat a now?”
Seat A was a high-end club in city a, and the dinner with President Huo of KM group was arranged there.
As Helian Manli was the second shareholder of X · s group, she came with her to country a this time. However, this was her country.
Hearing her words, Xiang Yi paused for a few seconds. Instead of answering her directly, he asked, “What’s Wrong?”
“Well, I’m at the intersection of Beisheng Road because my car broke down. Can you come here to pick me up?”She would also go to the dinner this time.
Hearing this, Xiang Yi hesitated for a few seconds as if he was in deep thought.
After a long while, he said, “Sorry, I’ve already arrived at Seat A, and president Huo from KM has already arrived.”
As he was in a foreign country, he didn’t want to have too much contact with Helian Manli to avoid any misunderstandings. If he could avoid it, he would do his best to avoid it.
On the phone, Helian Manli paused.
Did he really have an opinion about arriving at seat a? Or did he not want to have any contact with her?
Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a little disappointed, and even a little heartbroken.
Even if he was in a foreign country, he still had to keep a distance from her. In his eyes and heart, there was only Shi Nuannuan.
After a long while, the corner of Helian Manli’s mouth forced out a smile. “Alright then, I’ll take a taxi there myself.”
“Okay.”
He responded faintly and took the lead to hang up the phone. He started the car and drove out of the underground parking lot, heading for Seat A.
After arriving at the destination and sitting in the private room for a while, president Huo of KM Group arrived.
When he saw a man and a woman walk in from the door of the private room, Xiang Yi stood up and walked over. “President Huo.”
“Hello, President Xiang.”
Xiang Yi’s gaze fell on the woman beside him.
Noticing his gaze, president Huo smiled slightly. “My wife. This is the President Xiang of X · s group that I mentioned to you.”
“Mrs. Huo.”
“Hello.”
The woman smiled and did not say much. Instead, she quietly stayed by President Huo’s side.
The group walked to the sofa and sat down.
“You don’t mind if I bring my wife here, do you?”After sitting down, president Huo looked at Xiang Yi and asked softly.
“It’s rare for your wife to be in such a good mood. Naturally, I don’t mind.”
“Since it’s a private dinner, I brought her along. I don’t want her to be bored alone in the hotel.”
Looking at the beautiful couple in front of him, Xiang Yi chuckled. Naturally, Shi Nuannuan’s figure appeared in his mind.
If her grandfather had not suddenly fallen ill, he would have brought her along as well.
“President Huo is indeed as the rumors say. He loves his wife as much as he loves her.”
