Chapter 2272
Everyone took photos for Yu Rou and sent them over. After chatting with Yu Rou for a while, she noticed that people in the meeting room outside were standing up, so she quickly stood up.
"It’s rare for us to gather together today. I’ll host and treat you to dinner. Jiaojiao, what would you like to eat?" Ruan Bo said with a smile, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao who just walked in.
As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept over to Dan Chun beside him: "Will Xiaochun join us too? Do you prefer Western or Chinese cuisine?"
Ruan Bo had invited Dan Chun before, but she usually declined. He didn’t have high hopes this time, thinking she would refuse again. To his surprise, she didn’t only agree but coldly replied, "Western."
"Dan Xiaomei always eats steak, she must like Western food," Mo Xiaoyu said immediately, knowing Ruan Bo’s thoughts.
Before Ruan Jiaojiao could answer, Duan Xi looked at Sha Qian and said, "You represent the company, then."
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t like Western food. She wasn’t used to pure steak nor did she like the colder sides of Western cuisine, so unless necessary, she almost never ate Western food.
Things Ruan Jiaojiao disliked were never considered by Duan Xi.
After Duan Xi finished speaking, Sha Qian immediately understood: "Since we reached an agreement today, we should be hosting. Miss Dan, you want to eat Western food, right? There’s a good restaurant on this street, we can still make a reservation."
He then took out his phone, ready to call and make a reservation.
But before he dialed, he saw Dan Chun looking at Duan Xi, half-jokingly saying, "Mr. Duan is so busy, no time for a meal?"
No one expected Dan Chun to suddenly ask this. Everyone was stunned for a moment, given her aloof persona, it’s unexpected for her to ask such a question.
Ruan Jiaojiao put away her phone, squinted her eyes, walked over, and held Duan Xi’s big hand.
Duan Xi intertwined their fingers naturally, his expression still indifferent, but his words made Ruan Jiaojiao feel sweet inside: "She doesn’t like Western food."
Only then did Ruan Bo remember that Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t quite like Western food. He recalled once she even packed Western steak to bring home for her pet.
He glanced at Dan Chun, just about to say something, but Dan Chun smiled: "In that case, we can switch to Chinese cuisine."
When Dan Chun said this, her aloof gaze briefly swept over Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi’s interlocked hands but quickly moved away.
The final decision was everyone went to eat hot pot, treating it as the last company meal before the year-end.
Sha Qian booked a private room in advance. Ruan Jiaojiao brought Fei Xiaomiao and Xu Qing to ride in Duan Xi’s car, while Ruan Bo took Mo Xiaoyu and Dan Chun in theirs.
The rest took taxis.
On the road.
In Ruan Bo’s car, Dan Chun sat in the front passenger seat, her aloof gaze watching the street scenes quickly pass by outside, with Mo Xiaoyu and Ruan Bo’s conversation sound in her ears.
She lowered her eyes, not saying much, but Ruan Bo, having an interest in her, soon sensed her mood wasn’t great.
He smiled and asked: "Why is Xiaochun not speaking, is it because you don’t like Chinese food?"
Dan Chun shook her head, her eyes lowered, looking at her nails on her lap, her voice still as light as usual, as if casually chatting: "Senior’s sister looks very young."
"Yes, she just turned eighteen in October." Talking about his sister, Ruan Bo was also very chatty, his tone filled with pride.
