Chapter 200: Stand-in Lover (12)
World Seven. Stand-in Lover (12)
This meal can be said to be a happy one.
Although it was obvious that Director Luo wanted to set up the two, it was impossible to openly talk about it in the first meeting, so Xue Xue was given the opportunity to change the direction of the topic, and she did succeed.
After so many worlds, although Xue Xue wears the skin of a young woman, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an old fox who has been practicing for many years.
So in the end, she still achieved her original goal.
When Director Luo, who had been drinking happily, clapped on the table and said no problem, Xue Xue smiled, like an old fox who had succeeded in his tricks.
This scene was perfectly captured by Lin Ziqian, who was sitting opposite her.
He actually knew what his aunt had in mind, but he couldnt refuse an invitation from his elders, so he came to the appointment in the mood of making friends, but in the process, he found the woman across from him, who was similar in age to himself but was already in charge of a listed company, surprisingly interesting.
At first glance, she was cooperating with his aunt, but in fact, his aunt was being led away from the beginning to the end, which was rare.
After all, Luo Meilis style in the commercial trade and her name can be described as two extremes. As the most beloved nephew of her, Lin Ziqian naturally knew it well.
However, this Luo Meili was coaxed by this girl called Xue Li to smile and even got a verbal promise on a project.
Of course, it was impossible to make such a hasty decision about business dealings, but Luo Meili, a woman, was able to make a big splash in the male-dominated commercial trade. In addition to relying on her precise vision and outstanding tactics, there was also a very important point, she also kept her promise extremely.
A word spoken cannot be recalled.
Even if it is a verbal promise, it still has a lot of weight from Luo Meili.
While looking at Xue Xue with great admiration, Lin Ziqian suddenly felt that it was a wise decision that he didnt find an excuse to avoid the dinner today.
He propped his chin on his hand and looked at Xue Xue with a smile on his face, with undisguised interest in his eyes.
Xue Xue didnt care much about Lin Ziqian.
However, when Lin Ziqian responded to Luo Meilis proposal to send her home, Xue Xue couldnt help but glance at him.
Lets go. Picking up the car key, Lin Ziqian got up. My car is parked outside.
Well, dont call an assistant when its too late. Let Zi Qian take you back. Ill get together with my friends later.
Since Luo Meili said so, Xue Xue naturally couldnt refuse.
She and Lin Ziqian walked out of the private room one after the other.
Lin Ziqian deliberately slowed down, and the two walked side by side.
Do you know that we are alumni?
Xue Xue shook her head.
Yes, although you are younger than me, we are actually in the same class. Lin Ziqian put his hands in his pockets and his posture was natural and unrestrained. We also met at club parties, but you may not remember.
Xue Xue did not find any memory of this incident from Xue Lis memory.
But even if there was, she wouldnt mention it.
Seeing that Xue Xue didnt want to talk, Lin Ziqian smiled and said nothing more.
Until the two reached the first floor, ready to walk out of the hotel lobby.
You know that my aunt actually wants us to have a blind date, right?
Not expecting Lin Ziqian to be so straightforward, Xue Xue turned her head to look at him, and answered faintly.
Under the soft light and shadow of the crystal chandelier, the womans side face appeared warm and clear, like a fine white jade with a faint luster.
Lin Ziqian looked at her and his chest suddenly felt a little itchy.
You dont need 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 Xues direction with puzzled eyes, Lin Ziqian saw a man.
A mana man who looks so good that he makes people feel ashamed just by staring at him.
Lin Ziqians own appearance is also very good, and there are not many people of the same sex that can make him willing to use the word beautiful to describe them, let alone to the point of being ashamed.
However, his eyes did not stay on the other party for too long, but shifted to the woman beside him.
Lin Ziqian had an intuition about the relationship between the two, because from the moment he saw the man, he found that he had become an awkward existence like a scenery board.
Xue Xue didnt know Lin Ziqians complex psychological activities. In fact, after Chi Yu appeared, she was distracted and it was difficult to pay attention to other things.
However, at the moment when she met Chi Yus eyes, Xue Xue could still clearly feel the tension that led to the sharp contraction of the heart.
Chi Yus face was expressionless, and the pair of peach blossom eyes under the slanted sword eyebrows seemed to have been quenched with frost, and it was hard to see through the ice. Even so, when locked tightly by his deep eyes, Xue Xue still felt a fear of being unable to breathe.
This was not her emotion, this was Xue Lis emotion.
For Xue Li, such a Chi Yu was very dangerous.
She was instinctively alert.
Although Xue Xue reluctantly suppressed, 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 womans face was pale, her limbs trembled slightly, and there were faint drops of sweat seeping out from her smooth and full forehead.
This was an expression of nervousness, and also an expression of uneasiness.
Chi Yus pupils moved and walked towards Xue Xue.
Xue Xue took a step back unconsciously.
Because of her reaction, Chi Yus eyes seemed to darken, like a deep pool of darkness.
Lin Ziqian also found 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 shield. Unfortunately, this idea was interrupted before he could act.
As soon as Chi Yu opened his hands, Xue Xue did not hesitate to embrace him.
Why are you here?
Holding Chi Yus waist with both hands, Xue Xue looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, as if her defense just now was just an illusion.
Hmm, I happened to be doing errands nearby, so I stopped by.
Chi Yus voice was a little hoarse, and he put the coat hanging on his elbow on Xue Xue.
Xue Xue obediently wore it.
So thats how it is. There was just the right amount of disappointment in her voice. I thought you came to pick me up specially.
Chi Yus face softened when he heard the words.
He did come to pick up Xue Xue on purpose, but he just made an excuse so that his behavior would not appear too deliberate.
Going home now?
Hmm.
Xue Xue turned around and waved at Lin Ziqian, who had a confused expression on his face. Mr. Lin, todays meal was very pleasant, thank you and Director Luo for the hospitality.
Lin Ziqian looked at Xue Xue, who was hugged by the mans arm, her bird-like appearance and the woman who was so generous and laughing when they were eating just now were like two very different people.
Which one is the real her? Or these are not the real her?
Youre welcome. Raising his hand slowly, Lin Ziqian didnt flinch at Chi Yus warning eyes, but just smiled. Xue Xue, Ill see you another day.
