Li Zhi nodded slightly, "Okay, since Mr. Li has invited me so kindly, I will respectfully obey." Her smile was as warm as the sunshine, which made Li Muchen feel an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Li Muchen and Li Zhi walked out of the office side by side and came to a nearby elegant restaurant. The soft lights in the restaurant shone on them, creating a warm atmosphere.
They sat opposite each other, and Li Muchen's nervousness eased a little. The waiter handed over the menu, and Li Muchen politely let Lizhi order first.
Li Zhi ordered an exquisite salad and a glass of freshly squeezed juice, while Li Muchen ordered a steak and a glass of red wine.
While waiting for the food to be served, the atmosphere was subtly awkward. Li Muchen was the first to break the silence. He coughed lightly and said, "Is work going well lately?"
Li Zhi smiled and nodded: "Not bad, how about Mr. Li?" Li Muchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Not bad, but there are a lot of things to do, so he is a bit busy."
The dishes arrived quickly, and they continued to talk while eating. Li Muchen talked about some interesting things at work, while Li Zhi shared some small details of her life.
Their conversation became more and more natural, and laughter could be heard from time to time at the table.
Li Muchen looked at Li Zhi, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He found himself increasingly attracted to Li Zhi's intelligence and beauty.
Li Zhi seemed to feel Li Muchen's gaze as well. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed.
The lunch hour passed in a pleasant atmosphere, and when they walked out of the restaurant, the sun was still shining brightly.
Li Muchen hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can talk more often when we have time in the future." Li Zhi smiled lightly: "Okay." Their eyes met, as if countless words were flowing in them.
The following week seemed to be magically different. Every day, Li Muchen would carefully select a different restaurant and look forward to asking Li Zhi out for dinner.
He would arrive at the appointed place early, dressed in a neat suit, his hair combed meticulously, his eyes flickering with anticipation and nervousness. He would sometimes look at his watch, sometimes at the door, constantly wondering what Li Zhi would look like today.
As for Li Zhi, every time she received an invitation from Li Muchen, she would feel a mixture of emotions. She looked at herself in the mirror, raised her lips slightly, and thought to herself that this man was not only handsome, but also wealthy, and indeed a good person to rely on.
She dressed herself up carefully, choosing the most appropriate dress, and gently tied up her long hair to reveal her elegant neck. When she walked into the restaurant and saw Li Muchen, a hint of surprise and shyness flashed in her eyes.
With each meeting during the week, their conversations grew deeper and deeper.
"Lizhi, have you watched the newly released movie recently?" Li Muchen asked with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
Li Zhi took a sip of juice and replied with a smile, "Not yet. I've been a bit busy with work lately. But I heard it's a very good movie."
There was a hint of tenderness in Li Muchen's eyes: "How about we go and see it together when you have time?"
Li Zhi lowered her head slightly, a blush on her cheeks: "Okay."
As they enjoyed their meal, they shared the little details of their lives. Li Muchen would talk about his challenges and achievements at work, while Li Zhi would share her hobbies and dreams. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if countless words flowed between them.
