201 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (12)
byThis meal can be said to be a feast for both the guest and the host.
Although Director Luo’s intention to bring the two together was obvious, it was the first time they met and it was impossible to speak openly, so he gave Xue Xue the opportunity to change the topic, and she did succeed.
After so many worlds, although Xue Xue wears the appearance of a young man, it is not an exaggeration to say that on the inside he is an old fox who has practiced for many years.
So in the end she achieved her original goal.
When Mr. Luo, who had drunk happily, slapped the table and said “No problem”, Xue Xue smiled, like an old fox who had succeeded in his scheming.
This scene was perfectly captured by Lin Ziqian sitting opposite her.
He actually knew what his aunt had in mind, but it was hard to refuse an invitation from an elder, so he went to the appointment with the intention of making friends. However, in the process, he discovered that the woman opposite him, who was about the same age as him but was already the leader of a listed company, was unexpectedly interesting.
At first glance, it seemed that she was responding to her aunt, but in fact, it was her aunt who was leading her from the beginning to the end. Such a situation was rare.
After all, Luo Meili’s style in the shopping mall and her name are two extremes. Lin Ziqian, as the other party’s most beloved nephew, naturally knows it well.
But such Luo Meili was coaxed into beaming with laughter by this girl named Xue Li, and even verbally promised a project invisibly.
Of course, dealings between companies cannot be decided so hastily, but Meili Luo was able to make a name for herself in the male-dominated shopping mall. In addition to relying on her precise vision and extraordinary methods, another important point is that she keeps her promises.
Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow.
Even if it is a verbal promise, it still carries a lot of weight when it comes from Luo Meili’s mouth.
While Lin Ziqian was admiring Xue Xue, he suddenly felt that it was a wise decision for him not to make excuses to avoid this dinner today.
He propped up his chin with his hands and looked at Xue Xue with a smile on his face, with undisguised interest in his eyes.
Xue Xue didn’t care much about Lin Ziqian.
However, when Lin Ziqian agreed to Luo Meili’s proposal to send him home, Xue Xue couldn’t help but glance at him.
“Let’s go.” Lin Ziqian picked up the car keys and stood up.”My car is parked outside.”
“Well, don’t call the assistant when it’s late. Let Ziqian take you back. I’ll get together with friends later.”
Luo Meili said this, so Xue Xue naturally couldn’t refuse anymore.
She and Lin Ziqian walked out of the private room one after the other.
Lin Ziqian deliberately slowed down, and the two became side by side.
“Did you know we are alumni?”
Xue Xue shook his head.
“That’s right. Although you are younger than me, we are actually in the same class.” Lin Ziqian put his hands in his pockets with a chic posture.”We also met at a social gathering, but you may not remember it.”
Xue Xue indeed did not find any memory about this incident from Xue Li’s memory.
But even if there was, she wouldn’t mention it.
Seemingly sensing that Xue Xue didn’t want to talk, Lin Ziqian smiled and said nothing more.
Until the two of them reached the first floor and prepared to walk out of the hotel lobby.
“You know my aunt actually wants us to go on a blind date, right?”
Unexpectedly, Lin Ziqian would be so straightforward. Xue Xue turned his head to look at him and responded lightly.
Under the soft light and shadow of the crystal chandelier, the woman’s side face looked warm and translucent, glowing like fine mutton-fat white jade.
Lin Ziqian looked at it and suddenly felt a little itchy.
“You don’t have to mind too much. My aunt has never given up the idea of introducing me to someone since I returned to China, but…”
Lin Ziqian paused for a moment, because Xue Xue had stopped.
Looking in Xue Xue’s direction with puzzled eyes, Lin Ziqian saw a man.
A… man who is so good that people would feel ashamed just looking at him.
Lin Ziqian’s own appearance is also very outstanding. There are not many people of the same sex who he can willingly use the word “good-looking” to describe, let alone “ashamed of one’s own appearance.”
However, his gaze did not stay on the other party for too long, but moved to the woman beside him.
Lin Ziqian had a gut feeling that there was some relationship between the two, because from the moment he met the man, he found that he had become as embarrassing as a backdrop.
Xue Xue didn’t know Lin Ziqian’s complicated psychological activities. In fact, after Chi Yu appeared, it was difficult for her to be distracted and pay attention to other things.
However, the moment he met Chi Yu’s eyes, Xue Xue could still clearly feel the tension that caused his heart to contract violently.
Chi Yu’s face was expressionless, and a pair of peach blossom eyes under his slanted sword eyebrows seemed to have been tempered by frost. They were cold and hard to see through. Despite this, when he was locked tightly by his deep gaze, Xue Xue still felt like he could not breathe.
This is not her emotion, this is Xue Li’s emotion.
For Xue Li, such Chi Yu is very dangerous.
She was wary instinctively.
Although Xue Xue barely suppressed it, it was still difficult to completely control the subtle reactions of her body, and naturally she could not escape Chi Yu who was always staring at her.
The woman’s face was pale, her limbs were trembling slightly, and there were faint drops of water oozing out from her smooth and plump forehead.
This is a sign of nervousness and also of uneasiness.
Chi Yu’s pupils moved and he walked towards Xue Xue.
Xue Xue took a step back unconsciously.
Because of her reaction, Chi Yu’s eyes seemed to become darker, like a deep and turbulent pool.
Lin Ziqian also discovered it.
He looked at Xue Xue and then at Chi Yu. After a few seconds of hesitation, he decided to stand in front of Xue Xue as a protector. Unfortunately, this idea was interrupted before he could put it into action.
Chi Yu opened his hands, and Xue Xue embraced him without hesitation.
“Why are you here?”
Holding Chi Yu’s waist with both hands, Xue Xue looked up at him with bright eyes, as if the precaution just now was just an illusion.
“Well, I just happened to be running errands nearby, so I stopped by.”
Chi Yu’s voice was a little hoarse. As he spoke, he put the coat hanging on his elbow on Xue Xue.
Xue Xue obeyed him obediently.
“So that’s it.” There was just the right amount of disappointment in her voice.”I thought you came here specially to pick me up.”
Hearing this, Chi Yu’s expression finally softened.
He did come here specifically to pick up Xue Xue, but he just found an excuse so that his behavior would not appear too deliberate.
“Go home now?”
“Yeah.”
Xue Xue turned around and waved to Lin Ziqian, who looked confused.”Mr. Lin, I enjoyed my meal today. Thank you and Director Luo for the hospitality.”
Lin Ziqian looked at Xue Xue, who was hugged by the man’s arms. The slender look and the elegant, chatting and laughing woman just now when they were eating were like two completely different people.
Which one is the real her?Or… these are not the real her?
“You’re welcome.” Lin Ziqian slowly raised his hand and met Chi Yu’s warning gaze without flinching, just smiled.”Xue Xue, let’s see you another day.”
