Li Changsi walked to the window of the Bentley, looked at the handsome and aloof Lu Qi sitting in the back seat, smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, do you mind going with me?"
She would eat hairy crabs alone when she returned, so it would be better to ask Lu Qi to come along, and she could also look at his handsome face.
Lu Qi was slightly surprised. He had only come to deliver the hairy crabs and to make sure she was okay. He had no plans to have dinner with her. He disliked unfamiliar places and any unexpected arrangements.
The man closed his eyelashes slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded for the first time.
Qiubi looked at the tall, slender, handsome man who got out of the Bentley and quickly pulled Li Changsi aside. He lowered his voice and said, "Son, who is this? You can't fall in love right now, let alone keep someone. A man who is too handsome will affect your career ambition. Male beauty is misleading."
Li Changsi glanced at him in surprise. She was supporting Lu Qi? That was a bit difficult. In her previous life, she might have been able to build a golden house for him, but in this life, it was impossible. She was so poor.
"Are there any hairy crabs left?"
Song Mao: "Yes, there's another one in the trunk."
Li Changsi took the basket of hairy crabs from his hand and stuffed it into Qiubi's hand. "Go home. Tell me the itinerary tomorrow. Oh, and the sky will be clear the day after tomorrow. I have something to do."
Kewpie stared blankly at the basket of hairy crabs in his hand. No, did he really listen to what he said? He couldn't marry a man who was too handsome, and he couldn't marry a man with a narrow waist and long legs! It would shorten his lifespan!
The apartment where Li Changsi lived was just okay. It was a 100-square-meter apartment on a middle floor, with decent privacy. However, compared with Lu Qi's mountaintop manor in Bishuijiangting, it was as shabby as a slum.
As soon as I entered the elevator, I saw various small advertisements on it, such as tutoring, legal aid and so on.
Li Changsi blinked her thick, curled eyelashes and smiled, "When I came back last time, there were no flyers in the elevator."
I called the property management and asked them to clean up everything.
Lu Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This is normal."
There was no speech for a moment.
Song Mao was holding a cage of hairy crabs and sitting in the corner of the elevator. He was as stiff as a stone and dared not move. Was the world crazy or was he crazy?
Why did the gentleman come to such an apartment building to have dinner with Li Changsi?!
Oh my god, this is outrageous! If anyone were to tell this to the twelve think tank members, they would be horrified. How many people want to invite their master but can't!
Li Changsi unlocked the door with his fingerprint, pulled the suitcase in, took out new slippers for Lu Qi, and ignored Song Mao.
"Would you like some tea or coffee?"
Song Mao, who was standing at the door, broke down again: My husband has a bad stomach, he doesn’t drink coffee, and he only drinks special new tea, the tea is in the mountaintop manor!
My husband seldom eats out.
"Whatever you want." Lu Qi spoke softly and gently. He walked into the apartment and took a look around. It was unusually clean and tidy, with few furnishings inside. He remembered that Li Changsi had previously asked his agent to customize a batch of very expensive solid wood furniture, but later canceled the order.
So, she wanted to change the furnishings in the house?
"Then let's drink. Crab with white wine." Li Changsi took out a bottle of white wine from the refrigerator. He had wanted to try it before, and today he finally found a drinking buddy.
Song Mao: "Sir..."
As soon as Song Mao opened his mouth, he saw his master glance at him indifferently and immediately swallowed all the words that were about to come out of his mouth. His master never drank a drop of alcohol.
Li Changsi's narrow eyes raised charmingly: "You can't drink?"
The first time I saw him, he was in a wheelchair. Did he have an old illness? Did he need to control his diet?
"White wine should be fine. Crab belongs to the Great Cold, so pairing it with white wine won't cause any poisoning, and it's refreshing and makes the crab meat more fresh."
Li Changsi blinked: "Then can you steam crabs?"
Song Mao couldn't hold back his expression! Ten thousand alpaca horses were galloping through his heart! So the husband sent her crabs, and was responsible for cooking them for her and eating with her?
"Sir, I'm coming!"
Lu Qi smiled softly: "No need, A-Mao, go back and get some new tea and dessert after dinner."
He had not expected that Li Changsi would invite him to dinner. He came in a hurry this time and did not bring anything except this basket of hairy crabs. Lu Qi felt that it was a bit rude.
"New tea?" Song Mao was stunned for a moment. This year's new teas are all very rare top-notch new products. If he gave them to Li Changsi, would she be able to taste the difference?
"Well, bring two more bottles of red wine." He drank a bottle of white wine and brought back two bottles of red wine.
Song Mao nodded stiffly and almost bumped into the door on his way out.
"Mr. Lu, please make yourself at your leisure. I'll go pack my suitcase."
"Just call me Lu Qi."
Lu Qi brought a cage of crabs into the kitchen. Seeing that the kitchen was brand new, he thought it hadn't been used for long, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to steam the crabs.
"Do you want me to help you tie your apron?"
Lu Qi's tall and slender body stiffened slightly. Li Changsi came over from behind and reached out to take the black apron hanging on the wall. The faint fragrance of cold sandalwood came to him, and the slender jade-like fingers seemed to accidentally brush his ear, bringing a slight numbness.
Lu Qi lowered his eyes and saw that the other party had already retreated.
"I can do it myself, thank you."
Li Changsi raised her red lips slightly and handed him the apron. She saw that he was wearing a thin gray sweater, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. There seemed to be a layer of warm luster between his eyebrows, and he did not move at all in the face of her teasing.
Li Changsi smiled and said slowly, "Mr. Lu, are you interested in a relationship?"
Lu Qi froze in shock. He didn't turn around, but his eyes narrowed dangerously, their glint as deep as the sea. In his twenty-nine years, this was the first time someone had said something like this to him. It just seemed a little too late.
"Why not one year? If both parties feel uncomfortable, we can terminate it at any time?" When Li Changsi saw that he pursed his jaw slightly, obviously about to refuse, he smiled and stopped him from saying anything.
Three days would be fine, as long as she could get past the hurdle of the male protagonist. As for the rest, she would be busy day and night, and her schedule from this year to next year was fully booked. She might not have much time to really date him, so she just needed to find an identity that would allow her to see this face.
A year? A hint of darkness flashed in Lu Qi's eyes. Just when Li Changsi thought he was about to refuse, he said in a low voice, "Okay."
Li Changsi: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Lu!"
"Yeah." Lu Qi looked at her deeply and handed the apron in his hand to her. His slender fingertips touched hers, and she felt numb for a moment.
"Tie it up." The man's voice was low and hoarse, and he leaned slightly to the side.
Li Changsi was stunned. She helped him tie the apron. Her fingertips accidentally touched the smooth and firm abdominal muscles. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. He had a good figure.
“Ding Dong~”
Li Changsi withdrew his hand with some reluctance and went to open the door.
Song Mao won’t be back so soon, that would be such a bummer!
Li Changsi opened the door and saw Lin Lushen, Rong Shu, and Tian Ye outside, carrying cakes and flowers, firing salutes, and excitedly shouting, "Surprise!"
Colorful fireworks shot up into the sky.
Lin Lushen wore a cute little deer antler headdress and smiled sweetly, "Happy birthday, sister~"
Tian Ye chuckled and said, "Changsi, we didn't even go home. We came all the way here to celebrate your birthday. Are you surprised? Are you touched?"
Rong Shu handed over the red wine gift box in his hand and said with a smile: "Happy birthday."
Li Changsi was completely bewildered. Her birthday? November 1st? Oh, it was the Gregorian calendar, but she was used to celebrating her birthday according to the lunar calendar and had completely forgotten about it.
"Let's go in and take a break first. We rushed straight to the mall to pick out a gift for you right after we left the airport. There was a traffic jam on the way, and I was exhausted." Tian Ye said and rushed into the apartment. "Changsi, where are your slippers?"
"Xiaolu accidentally saw your ID card and said it was your birthday today, so we came here uninvited. We hope we didn't disturb you." Rong Shu smiled elegantly, his eyes fell on a pair of men's leather shoes in the house, and his smile froze.
"Sister, did we come at the wrong time? Could it be that my brother-in-law is here?" Lin Lushen blinked and asked in a low voice.
"Brother-in-law?" Tian Ye screamed in surprise, and then saw a tall, handsome man coming out of the apartment. The flowers in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop" in shock. Oh my god, Li Changsi has hidden a man at home!
Twenty minutes later, the crabs were steaming fragrantly. Tian Ye prepared a secret sauce and placed a basket of hairy crabs on the table, excitedly announcing, "They're cooked!"
Lu Qi hung up the phone and gave the three uninvited people a cold and distant smile: "I was planning to eat hairy crabs with Changsi tonight. I didn't prepare any extra dishes. I've asked someone to send some over. Let's eat while we wait."
Lin Lushen was so excited that he almost screamed: "Okay, brother-in-law!"
This brother-in-law is so handsome, with the kind of stunning beauty that is so attractive. His facial features are the best in the entertainment industry. He also has a calm temperament and a deep and sexy voice. Oh my god, no wonder my sister changed her mind about Brother Zhuo. This brother-in-law is such a great choice!
Fortunately, they didn’t tell Brother Zhuo. If Brother Zhuo had come, it would have been a huge Shura field, but Brother Rong would have been in trouble.
Lin Lu looked at Rong Shu with deep sympathy. Alas, after participating in three variety shows, Brother Rong still couldn't win his sister's heart. It was doomed to be a failure.
Although Rong Shu's smile was bitter and gloomy, he was still calm. As long as they were not married, everything was possible. Changsi should have known this person for not long, so he still had hope!
Rong Shu smiled: "I am Rong Shu, what is your name?"
Lu Qi nodded: "Lu Qi, the Qi that means blessing."
Lu Qi? I've never heard of him. He should know their identities, after all, they are all celebrities. However, this Mr. Lu is not a celebrity. I really don't know how he and Changsi know each other.
Rong Shu felt sour.
Tian Ye excitedly extended his hand. "My name is Tian Ye. We're friends of Chang Si, the kind who've been through thick and thin together. You should have seen our variety show, seven days and seven nights of wilderness survival. Every episode is like hell! There's never been such a crazy variety show in China..."
Lu Qi smiled but didn't shake hands with him. He didn't like physical contact with strangers, especially men.
Lin Lushen kicked him: "Brother Ye, did you not wash your hands after steaming the crabs?"
Tian Ye retracted his hand: "Hehe, I'm a little excited. Changsi quietly found a boyfriend. That's amazing. We've been together for so many days, and I haven't heard her mention it once, and I haven't seen her call!"
"You think your sister is as talkative as you are? I already knew that, huh."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi's eyes darkened.
Li Changsi came out with a red wine glass. Seeing Tian Ye, the whole apartment was like a chirping animal meeting. He felt a little headache. He smiled and said, "Everyone, please feel free to sit down. If I had known you were coming, I would have steamed two baskets of hairy crabs. Lu Qi brought two baskets, and I gave the other one to the agent."
To cover his mouth!
Lin Lushen's eyes sparkled: "It's okay, sister, this is enough to eat, and my brother-in-law just ordered food and said it will be here soon."
Brother-in-law? Li Changsi glanced at Lu Qi and saw that he didn't seem to expose her. Suddenly, the corners of her eyes raised charmingly. It seemed that she could call him that. Before they came, she had just seduced Lu Qi.
And it’s so simple! As expected, good-looking guys don’t have many girls chasing them, so they are easier to seduce!
Tian Ye opened the wine over there and said with a look of disgust: "Changsi, why do you only have white wine at home? The alcohol content is too low and it's not satisfying enough."
Li Changsi lazily reached for his phone: "What do you want to drink? I'll order it for you right now. If you don't want to drink it today, don't go back."
Just as she picked up the phone, Lu Qi beside her reached out and held it down. The man's broad, dry palm enveloped her small hand, and his voice was low: "I asked Song Mao to bring some wine, it should be here soon."
He tilted his head to look at her, his brown pupils like a deep pool that made people drown in it.
