"Good Shushu, you are the best. So can you really bear to let Ningning be single forever?" Li Li had no choice but to pull Jianshu to play the emotional card.

Jian Shu was heartless and unmoved. "I respect all of Ningning's choices. When she wants to date someone, I will definitely do it."

"She wants to be with me now, otherwise why would she make that promise with me just now?" Li Li said.

"If that's the case, then why are you in such a hurry? Can't you just let things take their course?" Jianshu retorted to her rudely.

She really couldn't understand. Pan Ning had already agreed, and it was only a matter of time before they started dating. Was there any need to rush?

Thinking of this, she patted Li Li's shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry, when the time comes, Ningning will naturally bring her partner to see us."

"But..." I don't want to wait that long.

The night is long and dreams are many. Who knows what will happen in the end? It is better to make a decision as soon as possible.

Li Li kept something in her heart and didn't say it out loud. She knew that if she said it out loud, she might get scolded again.

"Okay, it's getting late. We should go in. Ningning is getting impatient." Jianshu didn't want to say anything more to her and simply pulled Li Li back.

"Hey, I don't want to. Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet..." The purpose of coming out hasn't been achieved yet. If I go back now, wouldn't it be a wasted trip? Li Li struggled and didn't want to leave.

But Jianshu didn't want to grant her wish. He grabbed her wrist firmly and dragged her forward, teaching her as they walked, "I see you're just meddling in other people's business. Hasn't Ningning relented now? Isn't she much better now? Who was the one who kept telling me that Ningning would change her mind?"

"Now that she's changed her mind and is willing to reconsider, you're eager for her to go on a blind date and get married quickly. I think you're pushing her too far. Aren't you afraid that if you push her too far, she'll just regret it? Let's see what you'll do then."

Li Li couldn't break free and had no choice but to follow. Hearing this, she said unconvincedly, "How could it be? We made a promise, how could she go back on her word?"

"If you behave yourself and don't do anything, Ningning won't regret it, but can you really do nothing? What's the point of being clever? Is she blind and can't see it?"

"Even if you find a loophole in the agreement, who is the most important person in this relationship? Isn't it Ningning herself? If she's made unhappy, will she still be willing to date someone?"

"Put yourself in their shoes. If it were you, and everyone was forcing you, wouldn't you rebel?" Jian Shu said unhappily.

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to say more to you. You can figure out whether it's good or bad for yourself. If you still insist on your previous opinion, that's up to you. As long as you're not afraid of losing more than you gain, it's fine."

Seeing that they had arrived at the door of the state-owned hotel, Jianshu let go of Li Li, said a few words and walked in.

"Shushu, where have you been? What took you so long?" Pan Ning, who had been staring at the door eagerly, finally waited for the two of them to come and asked Jianshu.

Jian Shu walked over and sat next to Pan Ning, saying calmly, "It's not far, just in the alley next to us."

At this time, Li Li also walked to the table, frowning and looking conflicted.

Just as I was about to sit down opposite Jianshu, their dishes were ready.

When Pan Ning heard her number being called, she was about to get up to serve the dishes when Jian Shu grabbed her. She then gently kicked Li Li and said, "Ningning, take a rest. Li Li, go bring the dishes back."

"Oh, okay." Li Li finally woke up and nodded in agreement.

Seeing her like this, Pan Ning asked Jian Shu with concern, "Shu Shu, what did Lily say to you? Why do you look so distraught after coming back?"

"Don't worry, she's fine. She just said some unpleasant words just now, and I gave her a lesson. Don't you know her temper? She'll be fine in a while." Jian Shu said lightly.

"Is that so? Then I feel relieved." Pan Ning said.

As for the rest, she did not ask any further questions.

Jian Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't ask any further questions, otherwise she wouldn't know what to say. Telling a lie wouldn't be good, but telling the truth would be even worse.

Pan Ning's thoughtfulness made Jianshu even more dissatisfied with Li Li's idea.

Soon, Li Li came back with a tray with two dishes and a soup on it, all of which were the three people's favorites.

After placing the food on the table and returning the trays, the three people, who were already extremely hungry, didn't care who would start eating first. They picked up their chopsticks and went for the dishes they liked.

Perhaps because she had just prepared herself mentally during that period, after serving the dishes, Li Li's expression returned to normal.

After the meal, the three of them ate and chatted quietly, just like normal people.

On the way back, Li Li held her belly and groaned as she walked, "I feel so full. I wonder if Lele will miss me so much that he won't be able to sleep if I don't go back today."

"You think too much. He will sleep better without a mother who likes to touch him." Jianshu retorted.

Li Li snorted coldly, totally unconvinced. "Impossible. Lele loves his mother the most. He will definitely miss me."

"Since you are so reluctant to leave, why don't you ride your bike back now? There is still some time before work, so you can make it back in time." Pan Ning also joked.

"Ningning is right. Why don't you ride your bike back quickly? Take a look at Lele before coming back?" Jianshu also joined in.

It was already late, and Li Li was not like Jian Shu, who didn't mind being late for work. If she really went back, she would only be able to take a quick look.

Li Li looked at these two bad friends, snorted angrily, and quickened her pace.

Only the two people behind her saw her angry back and laughed at each other.

In the afternoon, the Finance Department office was once again peaceful and tranquil.

Just before leaving get off work, Section Chief Li found Jianshu and told her that the time for the business trip had been set, which was two days later.

She bought a ticket for the morning train, so she could go directly to the station to meet up with three comrades from the purchasing department without having to come to the office.

Finally knowing the exact time, Jianshu became excited again.

She was finally able to go out and take a look.

After hearing the good news, Jianshu was so happy that he hummed a song on the way home.

After arriving home, Jianshu thought about the big meal she had promised Ding Ming, so she went into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Even though it's a good day, you have to eat something good.

Because there were only two of them eating, although there were quite a few dishes, the portion of each dish was not too large, so there would be no leftovers or waste.

By the time the last dish was being served, Ding Ming had arrived.
