Chapter 97 Let me hold you for a while...
Li Qingqing was sitting on the subway on her way home, and she couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Why didn't she know how to handle it?
She obviously didn't have to take his car. His trick to trick her into getting in was obviously easy to see through...
But she still got into his car...
Li Qingqing only hated herself for not being frank enough. She clearly missed him too much, and she thought that he could use any clichéd excuse to trick her into getting into his car...
Li Qingqing raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had flowed down her neck without her knowing when, and secretly set a rule for herself in her heart.
I will definitely stay away from Lu Yan from now on.
He was engaged and no longer belonged to her, and she could not disturb his marriage.
…
When we returned to the community, it was already dark.
It gets dark early in winter, and the street lights were not on yet. Li Qingqing walked a few steps into the community. As she walked to a street lamp, a warm yellow light shone down on her head, as if it was specially designed for her.
Li Qingqing looked up and found that snowflakes were floating in the warm yellow light at a very timely manner, like a scene from a romance movie.
"How romantic~" Li Qingqing reached out to catch the falling snowflakes and said to herself.
“Do you like snow?”
A tall figure walked out from the darkness behind the street lamp.
Li Qingqing stopped and stood still.
Lu Yan walked out of the darkness, stood in the light, and looked at her quietly.
Seeing her standing there in silence, Lu Yan took off his gloves and, imitating her, stretched out his palm to catch the snowflakes falling under the street light.
The light cast long shadows under his eyelashes, making his facial features more three-dimensional.
The falling snowflakes quickly melted in the warm palms, never staying for a moment, and could not be caught. Only a few flakes fell on the cuffs and barely stayed for a few seconds.
Li Qingqing came back to her senses and said in a panic: "...Is Miss Jiang angry?"
Lu Yan looked at her and did not answer her question. Instead, he took a few steps towards her. The two of them were already very close, and Li Qingqing consciously took a few steps back.
She lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, always maintaining a normal social distance from him, trying her best to be a qualified ex-girlfriend.
Lu Yan stared blankly at Li Qingqing's gentle face under the street light, and could vaguely see a few tear marks on her face.
He suddenly remembered the first day she worked as his nanny. Because he bullied her, she ran out angrily and was almost bullied by some gangsters.
There were also such tear marks on her face at that time.
Coincidentally, he was the one who caused the tear marks both times.
Lu Yan, you are such a bastard, he cursed himself in his heart.
Looking at Li Qingqing's eyelashes that were tangled together from crying, hanging messily on her eyelids, like an unwanted puppy, Lu Yan's heart ached. He walked up to her and hugged her in his arms.
Li Qingqing reacted and wanted to push him away, but he held her so tightly...
"Don't be like this, Lu Yan..."
"Can you please let me hold you for a while? I miss you so much..."
Lu Yan leaned over and whispered in her ear, his voice already a little hoarse. He held her small body tightly in his arms, greedily inhaling the scent of her body...
Li Qingqing's heart softened for a moment because of his words, but she soon came to her senses. Thinking of the way Jiang Xueyao looked at her today, Li Qingqing still used all her strength to push him away.
"Mr. Lu, please respect yourself." Her tone suddenly turned cold.
Knowing that she was in a difficult situation, Lu Yan did not force her anymore, but just lowered his hands in disappointment...
Li Qingqing stopped looking at him and walked around him towards the apartment building.
After going upstairs, she came to the bedroom window, from where she could see the place where the two of them had just stood.
Lu Yan hadn't left yet. He was still standing in the same position as before, standing alone in the falling snow, head bowed, wondering what he was thinking...
Li Qingqing slowly sat down against the wall, opened her mouth and gasped for breath, but her heart felt like a huge rock was pressing down on it and she couldn't breathe.
…
The next day at work, Wei Qingming told Li Qingqing a piece of news, saying that a customer really liked their desserts.
The client has a birthday the day after tomorrow and hopes the pastry chef can go to the scene to bake several of Qingjian Pavilion’s specialty desserts as banquet desserts, and specifically asked Li Qingqing to go.
Wei Qingming wanted to train her ability to host desserts for large-scale evening parties, so he agreed to it for her.
Li Qingqing had no objection. Wei Qingming was the boss, and she would do whatever he asked of her.
On the birthday, Li Qingqing took her apprentice Xiao Jiang to the hotel designated by the client as her helper and baked several desserts required by the client as agreed.
The whole job content is very simple. After the guests have finished enjoying their meal, the pastry chef needs to go out and ask the guests for their opinions, and finally calculate the final bonus amount based on the guests' praise rate.
Li Qingqing's baking skills have skyrocketed since she won a prize in her first competition in Country F, and she is very confident about her work tonight.
When the birthday party was two-thirds through, Li Qingqing brought Xiao Jiang to the dessert area and took out a form to randomly ask guests to comment on tonight's desserts.
Without exception, every one of the opinions randomly solicited was highly praised.
According to the client's request, she needs to collect reviews from five more guests.
Li Qingqing was waiting by the dessert area. After a while, a slightly plump girl came in. She seemed to be very interested in these desserts. She took ten desserts at once, and then sat at the table next to her and started eating as if no one was around.
Li Qingqing walked over and asked politely, "Hello, Miss. Could you please rate our dessert tonight?"
The slightly plump girl is stuffing a brownie into her mouth, and the chocolate sauce on the corner of her mouth has not been wiped off yet.
"Sure, these desserts are really the best I've ever had. Do you have an offline store?"
She stuffed the last bite of cake into her mouth before she found time to look up at Li Qingqing, but when she saw Li Qingqing's face, her expression changed instantly.
Li Qingqing also felt that this face looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where it was.
Just as she was confused, the slightly plump girl pointed at her face and shouted:
"Aren't you the starving ghost who soiled Miss Jiang's dress?"
Li Qingqing remembered that the girl in front of her was the woman who stood next to Jiang Xueyao at Mr. Jiang’s 70th birthday party.
The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.
Seeing Li Qingqing holding the score sheet in her hand, the slightly plump girl snatched it away.
"Grading, right? Bring it here."
She waved her fat hand, casually marked two points on the form, and then threw the form at Li Qingqing as if throwing away garbage.
