Chapter 28 I'm tired, I don't want to keep you company anymore.
Shen Li stood there, watching him walk away, and heard his words clearly.
I felt calm, and even had a sense of "I knew it."
Zhou Yan looked at Shen Li with some difficulty, "Madam..."
Shen Li smiled faintly, "It's alright, I'll be going now. Just contact me when you're leaving tomorrow."
She turned and left, and Zhou Yan could only sigh and walk into the museum.
Upon entering, one sees Lu Yanchuan standing in the hall. Although his facial expression doesn't seem to have changed much, his aura gives off a completely different feeling.
Compared to when they were at the trade fair, Zhou Yan could tell that the boss was very unhappy now.
"And her?" Lu Yanchuan asked.
"Madam has left. She told me to contact her again tomorrow when I'm leaving," Zhou Yan said, then asked, "Should I go pick up Miss Song now?"
As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, he was met with a death stare from his boss.
Zhou Yan: "..." It seems he deliberately said those words to upset his wife, and perhaps that call was never even made.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Yan said, "Then, would you like me to accompany you inside for a look around? We're already here."
"Shen Li has really made something of himself." Lu Yanchuan sneered and turned to walk into the museum.
After Shen Li left the museum, she received a call from Qu Xiang.
Qu Xiang feigned concern for the health of the investment client, the "big devil."
Upon learning that Shen Li had fallen into a coma with a high fever, Qu Xiang immediately forgot about worrying about the Great Demon King's health.
"Why did you suddenly develop a fever!" Qu Xiang asked anxiously, then paused and asked softly, "Lili, were you... scared?"
Qu Xiang knew about Shen Li's childhood experiences and felt very sorry for him. She usually didn't mention it, but this high fever came out of nowhere.
“It should be,” Shen Li said.
Qu Xiang couldn't help but exclaim, "So the Great Demon King took care of you?"
"Um."
Qu Xiang then asked, "And then you just cruelly left him behind?"
Shen Li laughed, "Why do you make me sound like a heartless man?"
Qu Xiang sighed, "I'm just afraid you'll be soft-hearted."
Is she soft-hearted? Shen Li thought that even the softest heart should have been hardened by five years of cold treatment and contempt.
Even without developing a heart of stone, the scabs formed from the countless wounds on my heart over the past five years are enough to become a hard armor.
"What's the point?" Shen Li said in a low voice.
"It's not that I can't see it; he's trying to ease tensions, although I don't know what he's after. He says he's afraid of a decline in his image, which would affect Lu's stock or something like that."
“But my influence is only so-so, and Lu Yanchuan is not someone who can be controlled by such a small influence.”
"The continuation of my marriage with him is good for his image, good for the Lu family, good for the Shen family. He's good to everyone, except for me."
Hearing Shen Li's words, Qu Xiang couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh."
Shen Li said, "So no matter what he's after, I'm tired and don't want to play along anymore."
When I woke up with a high fever and found that he had been taking care of me, I almost softened my heart.
But really, it can't be said that it was just a one-time snake bite.
Five years, almost two thousand days and nights.
Shen Li didn't want to think about it anymore. After ending the call, she went to a popular shopping mall in Lancheng.
There's a restaurant in this mall that's incredibly delicious, but it's also extremely spicy.
Especially friendly to spicy celebrities!
Shen Li was still a little hesitant. She had just had a high fever, and she wondered if it would be bad to be so unrestrained in her diet.
But the phrase "Since we're already here" immediately took hold in my mind.
The shop was very busy, but she didn't have to wait too long for her small table.
After ordering the food, I took out my phone and swiped it aimlessly for a couple of seconds.
A deep voice came from the side.
With a casual laugh, she asked, "Are you alone, sister? Can we share a table?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li frowned slightly. Just as she was about to refuse, she suddenly realized that the voice sounded very familiar.
And this title.
That duck in Yehe...
Shen Li suddenly turned her head and saw Shao Congyu's handsome face with a casual smile.
"President Shao?"
“We don’t have any business dealings, just call me by my name.” Shao Congyu walked over with a smile and sat down opposite her.
A playful glint flashed in her eyes. "Sister, how about we share a table?"
"Then stop joking with me, just call me by my name." Shen Li pointed to the person opposite her. "Sit down."
She also felt a little apologetic because she had mistaken someone for a male prostitute last time.
"Thank you." Shao Congyu sat down.
Just then, the waiter brought up the tableware and hot water, and he smoothly began to rinse the bowls, plates, spoons, and chopsticks with the hot water.
After rinsing, place it in front of Chen Li.
Perhaps because the misunderstanding during their first meeting was too embarrassing, Shen Li didn't know what to say to him.
Fortunately, this restaurant is known for its incredibly fast service! They put a small hourglass on the table when you order.
If not all the dishes are served before the hourglass runs out, there will be compensation.
So in no time, the dishes were all laid out.
After only a few bites, the spiciness made my eyes burn, and I lost all interest in chatting.
When it was time to pay the bill, Shen Li saw the restaurant manager stand next to Shao Congyu and respectfully ask, "Mr. Shao, are you satisfied with the food?"
"Are you satisfied?" Shao Congyu asked Shen Li.
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized that this store, or even this shopping mall, might be related to Shao Congyu.
She nodded. "It's delicious. No wonder it has such a high rating."
Shao Congyu looked up at the manager, "It's so spicy! You look down on people who don't eat spicy food, don't you?"
The manager laughed, "We'll make improvements in the future."
As Shen Li left the restaurant, she said goodbye to Shao Congyu, "Thank you, Mr. Shao..." The word "Mr." was already on her lips.
Shao Congyu glanced over, and Shen Li bit her lip, swallowing the syllables, before speaking again, "...Thank you, Mr. Shao, for treating me to dinner."
"You're welcome, it's just a coincidence."
"Then I'll be going now, I have plans for tomorrow." Shen Li said goodbye to him.
"Here, take it." Shao Congyu said.
Just as Shen Li was about to refuse, he heard him say, "Just drop me off at the door. I'm going to check out the shops downstairs anyway, it's on my way."
Shen Li could only follow him down the escalator.
"Will you still be in Lancheng tomorrow?" Shao Congyu asked.
Shen Li shook her head, "I'm going to Haicheng tomorrow, so I'll have to repay Mr. Shao for the meal later."
"Haicheng? Is it..." Before Shao Congyu could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure downstairs out of the corner of his eye.
Shao Congyu raised an eyebrow. He had been standing one step behind Shen Li, but now he stepped forward and stood directly next to Shen Li.
He even turned his body to the side, blocking Shen Li from view.
Shen Li looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"It's alright. It's a bit noisy in the mall, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hear you if I stood at the back." Shao Congyu's handsome face was adorned with a gentle smile.
Shen Li, without suspecting anything, went down the escalator with him.
Shao Congyu smiled and said to her, "We've already bumped into each other so coincidentally today. Maybe there will be more coincidences when we go to Haicheng?"
Before Shen Li could speak...
Lu Yanchuan's cool voice rang out, "This isn't a coincidence, it's that you're haunting me. Shao Congyu, are you addicted to being a gigolo? Stay away from my wife."
