Yuan Xiangling raised her head subconsciously, and then suddenly froze.

Huo Qianli, who was walking over with the waiter, was also stunned for a moment.

The waiter looked left and right, keenly smelled the scent of gossip, and silently shrank back.

The astonishment on Yuan Xiangling's face flashed away, and she sneered, "Why don't you explain?"

Huo Qianli:.......

He scratched his head awkwardly, "Ms. Yuan, maybe this is a misunderstanding."

Yuan Xiangling smiled sarcastically, "Yeah, I didn't expect that some people would say no but come to a blind date at the same time!"

Huo Qianli sighed, sat down, looked at Yuan Xiangling, and regained his composure. "In fact, we were all arranged by our elders. If we had known in advance that this was the situation, perhaps we would not have come."

Yuan Xiangling was silent for a moment, then stared at Huo Qianli, "Why did you say that directly to Wanqing?"

The girl who had been out for a few years was indeed more straightforward, so straightforward that Huo Qianli couldn't handle it. After thinking it over, he chose the safest explanation, "I have someone I like, and President Xia may not know..."

Yuan Xiangling raised her eyebrows, "Then why are you still here for a blind date?"

Shit, why are we back here again?

"I really was just following the orders of my elders..."

"I don't care!" Yuan Xiangling's face showed a hint of malicious joy, "You came for a blind date, I like you, this matter is not up to you!"

The only problem with this logic is that Huo Qianli may not be attracted to her, but does Huo Qianli dare to say so?

Or in other words, this option does not exist in Yuan Xiangling's life.

So, there is nothing wrong with this logic.

Huo Qianli smiled apologetically, "Ms. Yuan, please stop joking. I apologize for what happened this time. I'll treat you tonight. Let's invite President Xia tomorrow and have hotpot together."

"I owe you this meal?" Yuan Xiangling snorted, and seeing Huo Qianli's rare uneasy look, she inexplicably felt a sense of revenge in her heart, "I have made it very clear, since you are here, it represents an invitation, I accepted your invitation, and this matter is settled, Huo Qianli, you won't treat me like this, right?"

Hearing this, Huo Qianli instantly realized that Yuan Xiangling was taking the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction, so he also said seriously: "Miss Yuan, please forgive me if I have offended you in any way before. You and I are both clear about what happened this time. It's just the elders' wishful thinking. As the younger generation, we should cooperate. You never wear glasses, but you deliberately put them on today, which means that you and I have the same idea, and it's just a formality. We can have a meal calmly like friends, and I can also take you home. For the rest of the things, please forgive me for not being able to cooperate!"

Yuan Xiangling took off her glasses, as if she had unsealed a seal, and her aura instantly became fierce, "Why would I look for you if I want to have dinner with my friends?"

"Excuse me then."

Huo Qianli stood up.

Yuan Xiangling said calmly: "I heard from Sister Wanqing that you are planning to set up your own pharmaceutical factory?"

Huo Qianli turned his head suddenly, "Miss Yuan, this is not a joke."

Yuan Xiangling smiled nonchalantly, "What's there to be unhappy about? I'm just a woman who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

Huo Qianli took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and looked conflicted.

Yuan Xiangling smiled confidently, "I just don't understand, what's wrong with me? Why do you fear me like a snake?"

Huo Qianli turned around and looked at her. "Ms. Yuan, I used to think you were a very straightforward and kind person, but what happened today made me a little disappointed. You have been to Hushan Village, and you know the ins and outs of the medicinal slice factory, but you said something like this. I believe this is not your intention, but..."

Huo Qianli took a deep breath and swallowed back those more outrageous words, "Excuse me."

Yuan Xiangling stared blankly at Huo Qianli walking away in big strides, then leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

She picked up her phone and called Xia Wanqing.

"Xiang Ling, aren't you going on a blind date? Why are you calling me? Haha!"

"Wanqing, I was just scolded."

"Ah? Who is it?"

"But I think he was right to scold me. I don't know what happened, I just said something I shouldn't have..."

......

After walking out of the western restaurant, Huo Qianli waved to stop a taxi and leaned on the back seat.

He could see that Yuan Xiangling was just in a state of panic. A proud girl who had always been high and mighty was rejected, and rejected again. That kind of stubbornness and indignation, to put it bluntly, was like giving a beggar a piece of money on the side of the road, and the beggar still refused. Besides being angry, she also had the impulse of "I really force you to accept this money!"

But this kind of thing is not something that can be compromised, and the future of Hushan Village cannot be tied to such a thing.

Looking at the neon lights flashing outside the window, Huo Qianli took out his cell phone and dialed Jiang Qingyue.

"Where is it?"

"I'm on the playground of your school. Aren't you going to eat? Did you finish so quickly?"

"I miss you. Wait for me."

Twenty minutes later, Huo Qianli rushed into the gate of Shuzhou University and found Jiang Qingyue sitting alone in the stands of the football field.

On the football field, many people were sitting and chatting.

There are also many students running at night on the track around the playground.

Jiang Qingyue looked at him quietly and enviously, shaking her body slightly.

Huo Qianli walked over and sat down next to her, "Where's Qiuyan?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "She has two classes, so I let her go first. I won't leave the school, so I won't get lost."

Huo Qianli nodded and sat with her silently.

Only two of the four corner lights were on, and a shadow just covered the figures of the two people.

Huo Qianli didn't say anything and Jiang Qingyue didn't ask either. The two of them just stood side by side and watched the people coming and going below tacitly.

Jiang Qingyue looked quietly at the playground below and smiled gently.

"I suddenly wanted to go down and run barefoot in the middle of the grass!"

"Then go!"

"Forget it, what will others think of us!"

"I love you!"

Jiang Qingyue turned her head in surprise and saw the serious light in Huo Qianli's eyes.

A gust of wind blew, shaking the branches, and the light finally came through, spreading on the faces of the two.
