After hearing what he said, Lu Xiaoqiao sat up from the bed.
"Ah? You're back? So soon? Are you done with your work?"
Zhou Qizheng was a little unhappy after hearing this: "Why? You don't want me to come back?"
"I hope so. Of course I hope so. I'm afraid that if you come back so soon, it will delay your work."
When Zhou Qizhen heard her say the word "hope", a satisfied smile flashed across his eyes.
"Don't worry, everything has been taken care of."
"That's good. Are you home now?"
Zhou Qizhen's eyes were still on the window, as if if he kept staring at it, the person he wanted to see would appear there in the next second.
“I guess so!”
Lu Xiaoqiao thought he meant halfway and there was no need to worry about it.
"Then go back and go to bed early to get over the jet lag."
"I'm fine. I'm used to it. How about I pick you up tomorrow?"
"Okay, then tomorrow morning at ten."
"good."
…
The next day.
9:30 AM
Lu Xiaoqiao had just finished packing when she received a call from Zhou Qizhen.
"Are you here? I'll be downstairs right now."
"Xiao Qiao, I have something to do here that will delay me for a while. Shall I ask the driver to pick you up later?"
"Sure! It doesn't matter. Just go about your business."
Zhou Qizhen didn't know whether he was happy or distressed by her frankness and generosity.
"Okay, I'm at Yingyue Lake now. I'll ask the driver to pick you up here later."
"Yeah, okay."
The two made an agreement and hung up the phone.
Ten minutes later, the driver that Zhou Qizheng arranged to pick up Xiao Qiao arrived.
The driver took Lu Xiaoqiao to a hotel next to Yingyue Lake: "Miss Lu, please rest here first. Mr. Zhou will come here to pick you up for dinner after he finishes his work. If you are hungry, order food first."
Lu Xiaoqiao replied: "Okay, thank you! You go ahead and do your work. I'm not hungry yet. When he comes, we can eat together."
Wait until the driver leaves.
Lu Xiaoqiao was bored and was wandering alone behind the hotel.
There is a straight path in the back yard that leads directly to the lakeside of Yingyue Lake. The geographical location is excellent, and you can also enjoy the lake view when dining in the hotel. Of course, the price must be high.
When I came here with Zhao Jia and her friends before, we even sighed and discussed that it would cost several months' salary to spend here once.
We walked to an arch bridge by the lake and looked down from above. We saw many koi swimming around in the water, as well as schools of small fish that Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't name.
I had no fish food in my hand, and I regretted taking out the only piece of bread left in my bag when I went out in the morning.
Lu Xiaoqiao looked at the fish with some envy as they swam towards the person who had fish food in his hand.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the man, a little surprised: "Mr. Tang?"
Tang Qian raised his eyebrows: "Did you see me? I thought Miss Lu only had fish in her eyes. You can't even see a big person like me standing here."
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "How could that be possible! I was just looking at the fish too intently just now, and now I see it! Mr. Tang, are you here for dinner?"
The main reason was that what Tang Qian wore today was a little too normal, not as colorful as usual, like a peacock.
Tang Qian threw the remaining fish food in his hand into the lake, clapped his hands and said, "Why? Miss Lu wants to treat me?"
"Mr. Tang, you are such a joker. I can't afford to treat you here. When I get a big order and make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely treat you to a meal here."
When Lu Xiaoqiao said this, she didn't show any embarrassment at all, and she looked very nonchalant.
"Miss Lu, since you can't afford me, why are you here? Don't tell me you're here for fun. As far as I know, this road is not open to the public."
Lu Xiaoqiao said seriously: "I also ate other people's food. My friend invited me here."
"Oh? Boyfriend or just an ordinary friend?"
"What's the difference?"
"Of course, if we are just ordinary friends, it means I still have a chance!"
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't understand the deeper meaning of his words and thought that he just wanted to invite her out for dinner like before.
"When your friend's contract is signed next week, I'll treat you. I have an appointment with my boyfriend today."
I don't know if she did it on purpose, but when she simply blinked at you, you had to believe her.
"Are you talking about Zhou Qizhen?" Tsk! He was quite quick to act. He started talking the moment I made the move.
"How do you know?"
Tang Qian answered the question irrelevantly: "I saw him just now. Can I take you to see him?"
Lu Xiaoqiao said: "I know he is nearby, but he is talking to a friend and will come to see me later."
"Talking to a friend? Ha!" Tang Qian smiled meaningfully: "Miss Lu, I advise you to go and see some things yourself. After all, seeing is believing!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoqiao wondered why he said that.
Tang Qian continued, "You will know if you go and see for yourself! I told you this out of kindness because I saw that you were too naive and I couldn't bear to see you being deceived like this."
Lu Xiaoqiao could tell there was some bad intention in his words, but curiosity killed the cat, so she followed him in the end.
Tang Qian led her through a row of small bamboo groves, and the two of them stood on a high stone staircase. From a large floor-to-ceiling window, they could see everything in the tea room on the second floor in front of them.
There were about five or six people, both men and women, sitting at a tea table close to the window. Among them, a man wearing a dark shirt and black trousers was the most conspicuous.
Her appearance and temperament, as well as the achievements and excellence gained through her personal efforts, all earned her admiration and respect from those present.
Especially the woman sitting next to him at this moment, whose eyes have never left him since the beginning.
The woman was just sitting there gracefully, her back exuding a charming temperament and charm, her long wavy hair draped softly behind her, and her slim skirt outlined the charming curve of her waist. Just by looking at the back, you could tell that she was a real beauty.
At this moment, she tilted her head and said something to the man beside her, her eyes and smile were full of tenderness.
Just looking at them like this, the two of them are a perfect match.
"See? You're waiting for him to eat, but he's here to meet a beautiful woman."
To be honest, Lu Xiaoqiao did feel a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene, but she would not give up trusting Zhou Qizhen's character just because of what an outsider said.
"It's nothing, just drinking tea."
Tang Qian sneered.
"Drinking tea? You believe it. To tell you the truth, the woman sitting next to him is the daughter of the second branch of my Tang family. They are currently... having a blind date."
"Blind date?"
From Lu Xiaoqiao's questioning tone, it was clear that she didn't believe it.
"You saw it with your own eyes, and you still don't believe it?"
Lu Xiaoqiao took out her phone and unlocked the screen while saying, "Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true. Only what you hear with your own ears counts."
Tang Qian thought the little girl would cry sadly when she encountered such a situation.
Then she ran away, blocked Zhou Qizhen's phone number, and finally broke up because of a misunderstanding.
This... is different from what he expected! ?
