Chapter 62 The relationship with Lu Yan is not what you think
The iron mold in Li Qingqing's hand suddenly slipped and fell to the floor with a crisp sound.
She was startled, but what made her even more terrified was that Wei Qingming guessed her secret at once, which made the hairs on Li Qingqing's body stand up.
Seeing her performance, Wei Qingming smiled even more proudly, "I guessed it right."
He raised his eyebrows, very proud of his own actions.
Li Qingqing picked up the mold from the ground with shaking hands. She looked at Wei Qingming cautiously, her voice trembling, "You...how did you know..."
Wei Qingming's face was calm and he answered calmly, "I saw him when he came to pick you up from get off work that day. There were only two Bentleys in the entire Hai City, so it wasn't hard to guess."
Li Qingqing's palms were sweating profusely at this point. She stood there motionless for a moment before asking again, "Do you know Lu Yan?"
Wei Qingming still smiled and said, "Well, I know him, but he may not know me."
After a pause, he continued, "He was a fierce rival of mine during my school days. That's why I couldn't forget him all these years. I didn't expect that he would start playing with women now."
When he said this, he laughed out loud, as if the combination of the two words "Lu Yan" and "playing with women" could hit his excitement point.
Did that high-ranking, favored son of heaven really have human desires? And with a girl like this without any family background, Wei Qingming was excited about this discovery, as if he had grasped Lu Yan's weakness.
But this is consistent with his unconventional style of doing things. The unsurpassed top student in his school days was never a good kid. Thinking of this, Wei Qingming unconsciously looked at Li Qingqing again.
He was very curious about what magic Lu Yan's woman had that would make him, the most beautiful woman in Haicheng, come and pick her up after get off work.
He narrowed his eyes and carefully studied the girl in front of him. At first glance, her face was pale, but upon closer inspection, her features were very beautiful, especially her eyebrows and eyes. When she looked into someone's eyes, it always made people want to protect her.
She has fair skin, thick black hair, and a slim and well-proportioned figure. She is indeed a beauty at first sight.
Wei Qingming's unconcealed gaze made Li Qingqing feel like she was being scrutinized, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable. She tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears and picked up the cake mold again.
She didn't know whether the world was too small or Lu Yan's reputation was too great. It seemed that everyone in Hai City, except herself, had more or less heard of him.
"So, is it because he has some leverage over you, or do you owe him a favor?" Wei Qingming continued to ask, seemingly not caring about her embarrassment at all.
Li Qingqing was a little annoyed by his attitude. "Boss Wei, why are you asking so many questions? I said this is my personal matter. Please don't ask any more questions." After saying that, Li Qingqing continued to make her cake, ignoring Wei Qingming's presence.
Since the person involved had said so, Wei Qingming didn't want to ask any further questions. He smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows, and then left the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
…
Ever since the matter was made clear, Li Qingqing always felt uncomfortable when facing Wei Qingming. She felt that he must be secretly laughing at her in his heart.
But she had no choice but to continue working. Her personal life was already a mess, and she couldn't afford to slack off at work.
Wei Qingming was not in the store for the next two days, and no one knew what he was busy with. However, this time was just right for Li Qingqing to take a break, otherwise she would always feel like someone was watching her.
The day went on as usual and nothing special happened.
After get off work in the evening, Li Qingqing found a familiar car parked in front of Qingjian Pavilion. She walked over hesitantly and stood next to the car body.
"Doctor Mu?"
Mu Xingyi lowered the car window and smiled gently at her, "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I came to see you without telling you in advance."
Li Qingqing scratched her head, her lips curled up awkwardly. She didn't know why, but ever since that "Truth or Dare" game, she always felt awkward when she saw Mu Xingyi.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Li Qingqing asked.
After hearing this, the smile on Mu Xingyi's face slowly turned bitter, "Qingqing, have you forgotten what I told you two days ago?"
“…”
Li Qingqing held her forehead with her hand. She had completely forgotten about this matter. "I'm sorry, Doctor Mu, I've been too busy with work these past two days, so..."
Li Qingqing was too embarrassed to say the rest of the words. She had completely forgotten about this matter, let alone thinking about it.
The smile on Mu Xingyi's face became more bitter. "It's okay, let's get in the car and talk." He was as polite as ever.
"Qingqing, you haven't had dinner yet? Are there any good restaurants near where you work?" Mu Xingyi asked her after getting in the car.
Li Qingqing seldom eats out. In order to save money, she always brings her own food, so she really doesn't know if there are any good restaurants nearby.
"I really don't know much about this. I seldom go out to eat." Li Qingqing told the truth. She seemed to have nothing to hide in front of Mu Xingyi.
After Mu Xingyi realized his abruptness, he immediately apologized to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, but..."
Mu Xingyi glanced at her with a puzzled look on his face. "Didn't Lu Yan give you money when you were with him? The man I know isn't such a stingy person."
When it comes to this question, Li Qingqing doesn't know how to answer him. The 100,000 yuan that Lu Yan transferred to her last time for grocery shopping is still in her account, but she never planned to use the money for other things.
Because she didn't want to owe Lu Yan more and more, otherwise it would be even more difficult to settle the accounts when they separated.
"Actually, Lu Yan and I are not in the relationship you think." Li Qingqing thought for a long time and really didn't know how to express this in a subtle way.
"Oh?" Mu Xingyi's eyes flickered, as if he had sensed some key information.
However, he did not rush to ask, but said: "Let's go eat first and talk while we eat. Although I am no longer your master, as long as you are willing to accept it, I will still spare no effort to help you."
When Mu Xingyi said this, he looked at Li Qingqing deeply, as if he wanted to send her some affirmative signals. Li Qingqing also felt his enthusiasm, and her inner defenses began to waver.
The two came to a very elegant restaurant, and Mu Xingyi directly booked a private room so that they could talk.
After all the dishes were served, Mu Xingyi brought up the previous topic again.
"Do you want to tell me, Qingqing?" His eyes were sincere, and he was waiting patiently for her to speak.
Li Qingqing fiddled with the white porcelain spoon in her hand, hesitating how to start.
There was a long silence, and finally Mu Xingyi broke the silence, "Is it because of your brother?"
As soon as the words fell, the white porcelain spoon in Li Qingqing's hand fell into the porcelain bowl with a "clang", making a crisp sound.
