Chapter 51 I'm Not a Good Person
When Li Qingqing saw someone coming, she awkwardly patted Lu Yan's chest and asked him to put her down, but Lu Yan seemed not to hear her and hugged her a little tighter. Li Qingqing had no choice but to bury her head in his arms to avoid the gaze of the visitor.
"Mr. Lu, did you have fun today?" The middle-aged man looked at the girl in Lu Yan's arms with a meaningful look on his face.
"The temperature in the venue is a bit high. Please pay attention to control it. Some corals are very sensitive to temperature. Don't let them get ruined."
Lu Yan ignored the middle-aged man's teasing, but just reminded him of some precautions in the venue, and then left with Li Qingqing in his arms.
Only when she got in the car did Li Qingqing recover from the awkward atmosphere.
She looked at Lu Yan curiously and asked him, "Isn't this a public aquarium? Who is that middle-aged man? Why would he listen to you?"
Lu Yan rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Who told you this is an aquarium?"
Li Qingqing turned her head away a little embarrassedly. She didn't know much about aquariums and had never been there. She just saw marine life there and assumed it was an aquarium.
Seeing that she looked a little aggrieved, Lu Yan explained to her, "This is one of the marine biology research institutes in Hai City. It mainly studies corals. I invested in it during my doctoral studies. It mainly provides a research base for students majoring in marine biology. In recent years, the oceans around Hai City have been seriously polluted, and corals are an important part of balancing the underwater ecological environment. Therefore, I funded the establishment of this institute to make up for this small regret in my profession."
After listening to his narration, Li Qingqing suddenly remembered that Lu Yu once told her that Lu Yan was a doctoral graduate in marine biology.
Perhaps because he always looked obscene and perverted in front of her, Li Qingqing never associated him with the title of doctor.
Now that I think about it, he is a really outstanding person. He has a good family background, education, good looks, and a good figure... When it comes to his figure, Li Qingqing unconsciously thinks of that aspect, and she can't help but cough lightly to cover up her embarrassment.
Sure enough, apart from this kind of thing, she and Lu Yan had no more decent interactions.
It was almost half past five when the two arrived at the restaurant. Li Qingqing checked the route and found that it would take about an hour to get to the interview location by subway. If they went after dinner, they would probably miss it.
So she suggested to Lu Yan apologetically, "How about I skip the meal, or I'll miss the interview."
Lu Yan looked at the menu without even looking up. "Eat first, I'll take you there later. The place you mentioned is only half an hour's drive from here."
Li Qingqing nodded weakly, "Okay, thank you."
She didn't expect that Lu Yan still remembered her interview. She had to say that he was sometimes quite attentive.
Just after finishing the meal, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in a package. Lu Yan took it and took out the medicine inside. He took a look at the instructions and threw the medicine to Li Qingqing.
"Eat one white piece and two blue pieces."
Li Qingqing looked at him in surprise, "Why do you need to take two kinds of medicine?"
She had taken it before, usually just a small white pill.
"Blue is for pain relief. Don't you have a stomachache?"
Li Qingqing blushed slightly and swallowed the pill with the warm water in front of her as he instructed. This man was indeed very thoughtful.
There was no time to go back and change clothes, so Li Qingqing went to the bathroom and used a powder puff to cover the kiss mark, then followed Lu Yan out to the interview place.
When they arrived, Lu Yan put her down and announced a piece of good news to her: "I'm leaving for Country R on a business trip tonight and will be back in a week. You just wait for me at home, okay?"
There was a warning in his eyes, as if he was looking at a wife who was frequently unfaithful.
Li Qingqing was a little displeased by his distrustful look, but she was inexplicably excited when she thought that he was going on a business trip for a week, as if she had been working for many days in a row and the boss suddenly announced a week-long vacation, which was a surprise.
She remained calm on the surface, afraid that he would see that she was eager for him to leave. "I know." Li Qingqing answered simply, trying hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that wanted to rise.
Lu Yan took one last look at her, then withdrew his gaze and drove away.
Li Qingqing watched Lu Yan's car drive away, and then she looked happy and showed an expression of regaining freedom.
She took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was 7:59, just in time. She turned around and walked into the store called "Qingjian Pavilion" with excitement.
As soon as she entered the store, she saw Shen Lu sitting there chatting with a young black-haired man in an apron.
The young man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with very black hair, which made his skin look particularly white. No, he seemed to be very white to begin with, so white that his lips looked like they were smeared with cherry-colored lipstick. This was Li Qingqing's first impression of him.
Unexpectedly, she was the last one to arrive. Li Qingqing timidly walked closer to the two of them. Just as she was about to say hello, Shen Lu saw her.
"Hey, Qingqing, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Wei Qingming," Shen Lu pointed at the black-haired, red-lipped man in front of him and introduced him to Li Qingqing. "He's my brother's friend I told you about. He's the one who's going to interview you today."
Only when Li Qingqing got closer did she realize that this man was no ordinary man. His eye sockets even looked a little red because of his white skin, like a rabbit's eyes, but he didn't have the docile feeling of a rabbit at all. Instead, he had a bit of a fierce and unapproachable feeling.
She immediately walked up to greet him, "Hello, Boss Wei, I'm Li Qingqing, please give me your guidance."
Wei Qingming glanced at her, his eyes finally landing on the uncovered kiss mark on her neck, "Hello."
