There were Chinese and Western dishes.
Qiao Mianmian noticed that there were only two servings.
She looked towards the entrance of the dining room and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Gong, are you and I the only ones eating breakfast here?”
Gong Zeli nodded. “Mm.”
“Aren’t the people with me eating here?”
“Mm.” Gong Zeli nodded again and pushed a glass of milk towards her. “They’re in another place.”
Qiao Mianmian looked at the sumptuous breakfast and pushed the milk away.
Gong Zeli frowned.
Qiao Mianmian stood up. “I came with them, so I’ll eat with them. Mr. Gong, thank you for your hospitality. Can you find someone to bring me there? I can’t find them on my own.”
“Why look for them?” Gong Zeli frowned again. “Breakfast is ready, you can eat here. Don’t you like the food on the table?”
“No.” Qiao Mianmian pursed her lips and looked at him. “I don’t think this is good. Others will think that I’m getting special privilege.”
In fact, the real reason was that Qiao Mianmian wasn’t used to eating breakfast with Gong Zeli.
For some reason, she felt uncomfortable being alone with him.
She felt even more uncomfortable when he was nice to her.
She would rather he be as cold as before.
But Gong Zeli seemed like a different person now.
Qiao Mianmian felt like… he was treating her too well.
He had changed so much, it made Qiao Mianmian nervous.
“Mr. Gong, I’d better go with them.” Qiao Mianmian expressed her wish tactfully and firmly. “If you can’t get someone to bring me there, can you tell me where they are? I’ll look for them myself.”
Gong Zeli frowned at her. “Qiao Mianmian, am I scary? Are you afraid of me?”
Qiao Mianmian was stunned.
Gong Zeli took a deep breath and said, “I realized that you don’t like to be with me. Why? Do you think I have a bad temper and you don’t like me, or is it because I was too mean to you in the past? Do you have something against me and don’t want to be with me?
“If it’s the former, what do you think about my bad temper? You can bring it up.
“If it’s the latter, I’ll apologize to you. I did have many misunderstandings towards you in the past and did many bad things, but I won’t do it in the future. I just want to be friends with you now, okay?”
The last sentence was asked carefully.
He was so careful that Qiao Mianmian felt like the man in front of her wasn’t Gong Zeli anymore.
Gong Zeli waited for her reply.
Qiao Mianmian could tell that he really wanted to know the answer, so she didn’t brush him off. After thinking seriously for a while, she looked at him and slowly said, “Mr. Gong, I believe there was a misunderstanding between us in the past. I don’t mind this anymore. It’s just that I can’t accept being friends with you all of a sudden.”
Gong Zeli’s expression changed slightly. “Are you unable to accept it now or in the future?”
Qiao Mianmian thought for a while. “Now. I can’t accept it for the time being. I’m sorry if I made you unhappy…”
