36 Hand gestures! 1457! 1457!

"Lai Lai, here!"

As soon as Jiang Lai walked out, she saw Meng Man in the crowd waving at her frantically and shouting her name.

She also had a pick-up sign in her hand. It was not LED-lit, but the pink sign was conspicuous enough, at least it was particularly abrupt among a bunch of business pick-up signs with "wee" printed on them.

In fact, the pick-up sign was a bit redundant for Meng Man, because her voice was so loud that people nearby looked at her sideways.

Another person with a loud voice was Jiang Lai. She ran over with her suitcase and gave Meng Man a big bear hug: "I miss you so much, Man Man!"

Jiang Lai and Meng Man had not seen each other for a long time. During the journey to Meng Man's residence, they did not hear each other talking. They chatted enthusiastically and did not stop throughout the whole journey, so that when they arrived at the place, they were already dry-mouthed.

This is not the first time that Jiang Lai has come to Meng Man's house. As early as the summer vacation after graduating from high school, Jiang Lai often came here to find Meng Man. During college, she did not come again because of her studies and she had to pretend to be poor, but she was still very familiar with the structure of Meng Man's house.

Jiang Lai covered her neck and said "Baojuan, my throat" while opening the refrigerator with ease and taking out a bottle of frozen mineral water.

Meng Man likes to drink ice water, and she can't find warm liquid at all. She has an iron stomach since she was a child. Jiang Lai's stomach is more delicate, but she doesn't care so much at this moment. She gulps down a few gulps of mineral water, and the dryness in her throat is finally moisturized.

"Let's see what to eat." Meng Man called out to Jiang Lai, "Shall we order takeout? You should rest today and not go out."

"No." Jiang Lai stopped Meng Man, "I'm not tired. Didn't you say you were bored? Let's go out and have fun tonight!"

Jiang Lai had just finished speaking when her cell phone rang as if someone had eavesdropped on their conversation. Meng Man motioned for her to answer the call first. Jiang Lai took out her cell phone and glanced at the caller ID, and the corners of her mouth immediately drooped.

Meng Man laughed at her with glee: "Why do you have that expression? Is the old man checking up on you? He won't ask you to make a gesture, will he? 1457?"

Jiang Lai cursed Meng Man speechlessly and said she was sick, and asked casually: "But what is 1457? What kind of mess did you see?"

"You're my wife." Meng Man laughed for a while after she finished speaking, and finally squatted on the ground with her hands on her belly and laughed: "Oh, that's so funny. It feels like the old man in your family would really say such earthy and stuffy words."

"Do you think everyone is as earthy as you?" Jiang Lai was annoyed and irritated, and waved her hands at Meng Man. She would rather answer the phone than listen to Meng Man teasing her: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to go out and answer the phone."

Meng Man said "um": "Then I'll check the takeout first."

Jiang Lai walked to the door with his mobile phone, closed the door and clicked the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, a male voice with a little hoarseness rang in his ear, and Jiang Lai's ears turned slightly red again:

"Have you arrived at your friend's house, dear?"

"We're here." Jiang Lai decided not to argue with Shen He'an because his voice was so nice. She just muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "Don't call me all the time, it's annoying..." Shen

He'an sighed softly: "I'm worried about you, dear. Going to such a far place all of a sudden... I asked you to send a location, where did you send it?"

"I just arrived!" Jiang Lai raised her voice slightly. She was a little unhappy when Shen He'an nagged her. Just when she was about to say "hang up", Shen He'an spoke before her: "Have you eaten?"

"No." Jiang Lai's voice sounded muffled: "I was just about to order takeout."

"Okay, you must be hungry." Shen He'an sighed again, and he whispered: "I really feel uneasy if I don't let you stay under my nose, dear, if I were here, how could I let you starve?"

Jiang Lai pondered the second half of Shen He'an's sentence, and always felt that it was a bit strange. Why did it sound so much like a secret slander?

She pouted: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to hang up." Before

Shen He'an finished the last sound of the word "OK", Jiang Lai had already hung up the phone in a hurry.

On the other end, Shen Hean frowned slightly as he watched Jiang Lai hang up the phone.

He glanced at the time. It was past nine in the morning for him, and it should be nearly ten in the evening for Jiang Lai. She hadn't had a proper meal from morning till night. Isn't she a very delicate person? How did she endure it?

There was a knock on the door. Shen Hean temporarily put down his phone to let the person in. A document to be reviewed was placed next to him. He flipped it open and took a look. He didn't really read it, and he felt upset all the time. He

was worried about Jiang Lai.

This uneasiness not only came from Jiang Lai's recent ups and downs in mood and attitude, but also because he knew that Jiang Lai was not honest, and it must be even worse when he was with Meng Man. He was afraid that Jiang Lai would do something, and he couldn't get there in time at such a long distance.

After staring at the first line of the document for five minutes, Shen Hean sighed, resignedly put down the document at hand, and dialed an international long-distance call.

The phone rang only a few times before it was connected. Of course, Shen Hean called during such working hours because he knew that the other party was very free. After all, he was running his own business and must have a lot of free time.

"Hey, rare guest." The man's slightly teasing voice came from the receiver immediately: "Why are you calling at this time?"

After hearing the familiar voice, the expression on Shen Hean's face relaxed a little: "It's been a long time since we last met. I plan to fly over in the next two days, so we can meet."

The voice on the other end of the receiver became a little surprised: "Do you have a client to talk to? Why did you fly so far?"

"I guess so." Shen Hean's voice was light, and he didn't say much about this matter, because there was no important business that required him to fly so far to discuss. Talking about business was just a cover to prevent Jiang Lai from thinking that he went to catch her on purpose.

"Okay, call me anytime when you get there." The man on the other end of the phone sounded in a good mood: "Have you asked Ah Xing if he's free? Ask him to come over, it's not far anyway, let's get together."

"Okay." A faint smile appeared in Chen He'an's eyes: "I'll ask him later."

"By the way." He paused for a second, and then said: "Let's have dinner together in two days, and I'll bring... my fiancée to meet you."

"Okay." The voice in the receiver was a little surprised, but the ending tone rose, and it sounded happy for him: "Didn't you say you had a girlfriend before? How come it became your fiancée in such a short time? Did you propose to her? You're just quietly releasing your big move."

"Not yet." Chen He'an held the phone and talked to the other party, his body leaning slightly against the back of the chair. Because he was talking to a friend, his posture was relaxed: "Still planning."

Gu Pei laughed and scolded: "You're talking about something that you haven't even started yet. Why are you in such a hurry to get married?"

"Yes, I am anxious." The smile in Chen He'an's eyes became more obvious, and he specifically reminded again: "But don't talk about this when you meet, and don't joke around, she is thin-skinned."

"Got it." Gu Pei scolded Chen He'an again: "You only know how to protect people, and you only know how to show your affection. Do you still treat us single dogs as human beings?"

"I said I am a single dog." Chen He'an's tone was still light, but also a little teasing.

Gu Pei smiled and scolded "Get lost", and the two chatted for a few more words, and then the phone was hung up after Gu Pei asked him to remember to call him.

After a phone call with a friend, Chen He'an's mood improved slightly.

Chen Hean, Gu Pei and Cheng Shuozhou are old friends. They have been close since childhood. After graduation, they each pursued their own careers. Gu Pei and Cheng Shuozhou both went abroad. They have met very few times in the past few years, but because their personalities are compatible, the three of them have never lost contact.

Because of his indifferent personality, Chen Hean has few friends, especially in China. Whenever Jiang Lai said that he went out to party with friends, he would gently correct her and say that it was not a party, but the Bureau of Commerce.

However, Jiang Lai would still say it was a friend's party next time. Chen Hean always felt that Jiang Lai seemed to have some obsession with this, but he only vaguely perceived it and could not tell the truth.

People who always see through everything in the past are a little dull in emotions. Chen Hean came to this conclusion after calmly analyzing himself these few nights.

Because he always felt that Jiang Lai seemed to have some emotions towards him, not just because he installed positioning software on her phone.

But Jiang Lai was unwilling to communicate with her, and Chen Hean didn't want to force her. When Jiang Lai was forced into a corner, she would always say some angry words that made him frown. He wanted their conversation to be peaceful. After all, if he was still angry at this age, it would be too ugly.

Chen Hean thought that as long as the person was still around, the problem could be solved slowly, and it shouldn't be a very serious conflict.

But the person had already run to the United States without saying a word... No, there was still a sound.

When Chen Hean thought of Jiang Lai, he couldn't read a single word of the document in his hand. He put down the document in his hand, called the assistant on the internal line, and asked him to book the nearest flight.

The assistant rarely showed his emotions, and asked him in surprise if there was anything he missed.

Shen Hean paused for a second, and then said lightly that it was a private matter. After listening, the assistant reminded him that he had a meeting tomorrow. Shen Hean interrupted him and said that all these things should be postponed.

The moment he hung up the phone, Shen Hean found that his heart began to beat faster for the first time in a long time.

He hasn't messed up everything that was in order for a long time. If Jiang Lai knew that he was worried about her, would she be happy?

Of course she would. This little bastard, every time he deliberately made him almost jump, she was the happiest.
