Chapter 47 See if you can make me happy tonight
Li Qingqing was immersed in the ocean of traditional Chinese medicine culture in the room at this time. After receiving Lu Yan's message, her face immediately blushed.
Is he...going on a date with her?
Li Qingqing really wanted to deny her dangerous idea, but Lu Yan's message was too obvious. He was going to date her on the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Li Qingqing picked up the medical book and kept fanning herself, trying to cool down her hot cheeks.
After calming down a little, she replied "I know" and immediately turned off the screen, not daring to look at the message Lu Yan sent her.
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, even harder to calm down than when she was in bed with him.
Why was this? Li Qingqing didn't know why her heart was beating so frantically. Was she looking forward to it? Looking forward to her date with Lu Yan?
Li Qingqing wanted to take out her heart and slap it twice. She kept telling herself in her heart: Li Qingqing, wake up. He is Lu Yan. There is no possibility between you two. He just treats you as a plaything.
He just wants to experience the joy of love occasionally. Just think of yourself as an actor and cooperate with him.
After comforting herself for a long time, she rushed to the bathroom to wash her face before she calmed down.

The next day, Shen Lu sent her a message.
[Qingqing, I'm so sorry. The interview is scheduled for 7pm tomorrow night. Will it disturb your date with Lu Yan?]
Li Qingqing was stunned when she saw it. How could it be such a coincidence? How could these two things happen to collide with each other?
She knew very well how domineering Lu Yan was, and it would definitely not be easy to get him to give her some time.
But she certainly couldn't just give up the job opportunity she had finally gotten. Li Qingqing scratched her head and thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of a possibility. Maybe she could go out on a date with Lu Yan before 7 o'clock and then go for the interview after 7 o'clock?
Anyway, who said that dates must be at night? Maybe I fell into a misconception before. The date arranged by Lu Yan may not be at night?
Thinking of this, she sent a message to Lu Yan, [Um, I don’t have to accompany you all day for our date tomorrow, right?]
Lu Yan replied: "No, I'll be free after this afternoon."
Li Qingqing: “…”
It’s better not to ask.
After thinking for a while, Li Qingqing asked again, "Can I ask what the date is about?"
Lu Yan replied [confidential]
Li Qingqing: “…”
Afterwards, Li Qingqing confirmed the interview time with Shen Lu again, and found that the interviewer had a very tough attitude and refused to agree to change the time. Li Qingqing was helpless, and she only had one last trick left.
…
When Lu Yan came home from get off work in the evening, he saw that Li Qingqing had prepared a table full of delicious dishes, several of which were the ones he had praised for being delicious last time.
She even made him a cake with her own hands and wrote the words "Happy Chinese Valentine's Day" on it in a very interesting way.
There was also a bottle of red wine and a few candlesticks on the table, which was obviously the standard candlelight dinner arrangement learned online.
Hearing the door open, Li Qingqing immediately put on a sweet smile, brought the last dish to the table, then wiped her hands on her apron, trotted over to take the coat from Lu Yan's hand, looking like a good housewife.
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, not understanding why she was so attentive.
"This is?"
Lu Yan walked to the dining table, looked at the cake with the words "Happy Chinese Valentine's Day" written on it and asked her.
Li Qingqing smiled awkwardly: "Didn't you say you wanted to go on a date? I think the atmosphere tonight is just right, how about we celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day in advance?"
After saying that, Li Qingqing looked at him with bright eyes and anticipation.
Lu Yan curled his lips and chuckled, deliberately embarrassing her and said, "Qixi Festival must be celebrated on the day of Qixi Festival, otherwise how can it be called a festival?"
Li Qingqing was actually a little speechless for a moment after what he said, but she could probably tell that he didn't really want to argue with her.
She stretched out her soft little hand to pull him to sit down, then placed the cake in front of him.
"I made this cake myself. I even added some Chinese medicine to improve eyesight. You work on the computer every day, so your eyes must be tired, right? Do you want to try it?"
"And this, stir-fried shrimp. Don't you like the shrimp I make? I went to the market today and picked out fresh shrimp."
Li Qingqing's face was full of smiles and she was extremely flattering.
Lu Yan actually enjoyed her condescending attitude to serve him. He'd often been irritated by her stubborn temper, but today he could finally enjoy it. Regardless of her motives, she wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble. Looking at the cake, Lu Yan thought her request was probably related to their date tomorrow.
Lu Yan signaled her with his eyes to cut a piece of cake for him, and Li Qingqing immediately understood what he meant. It turned out that people are very considerate when they need help from others.
Lu Yan took a bite of the cake and his brows relaxed immediately. Actually, he didn't like sweets very much, but Li Qingqing's cake was refreshing and rich in taste. The sweet cake base was paired with a slightly bitter filling with Chinese medicine, which had a unique flavor.
"I didn't realize you could bake cakes?"
Lu Yan was delighted, as if he had unlocked a new skill for her. He ate happily and was not stingy with his praise.
Li Qingqing smiled and said, "I worked part-time as a pastry apprentice for a while, and I also like sweets, so I have some knowledge of this."
Taking advantage of Lu Yan's happiness, Li Qingqing immediately poured him some red wine. She held up the wine glass with a smile on her face. The dim candlelight made her already gentle face look even more pure and beautiful.
"Let me toast you a glass to thank you for taking the initiative to help me deal with Xie Hongde's matter."
Li Qingqing took a sip of red wine. As the sweet liquid went down her throat, she couldn't help but frown. This was her first time drinking red wine, and she had no idea it was so unpalatable. Was that what rich people drank every day? Li Qingqing almost vomited on the spot.
Lu Yan was amused by her expression. He picked up the red wine and took a sip.
Hmm~ It tastes mellow, smooth, rich, and has a long aftertaste. It's of good quality. He picked up the bottle on the table and took a look. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became. This wine...
"Isn't this my wine? Are you using my wine to comfort me?" Lu Yan's face was full of black lines.
He was also surprised that Li Qingqing was so good at choosing wine.
Li Qingqing looked a little embarrassed and explained weakly, "Red wine out there is too expensive. I can't afford it... and you definitely won't be used to drinking something that's too cheap, so..."
Lu Yan was so angry that he almost laughed and had no mood to eat.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of setting up this Hongmen Banquet tonight?"
Seeing that he took the initiative to mention his purpose, Li Qingqing no longer concealed it.
"Can you spare some time tomorrow night? I'm fine during the day, but can you let me go after 7pm?"
It turned out to be about tomorrow's date, and Lu Yan was not surprised at all.
In fact, he didn't have to use the evening time for a date. He had already arranged his work for tomorrow and had a whole day to date. It didn't make any difference whether he went earlier or later.
But now Li Qingqing actually needs his help, how could he waste this opportunity?
Lu Yan looked at her with a deliberately dark face, "If you want me to change the time, it depends on whether you can make me happy tonight."
Li Qingqing immediately understood what he meant. In fact, this was her last trump card. Apart from that, she had nothing else to offer.
