Chapter 337 Li Beiting is acting like a spoiled child with her?
After everyone left, Jiang Yao calmed down again.
When she suddenly knew what Xu Li was thinking, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, she really only considered him as a friend.
But the importance he attached to her went beyond the scope of friendship, which made her feel inexplicably that she was taking advantage of his sincerity.
"I'm still here!" At this time, Li Beiting's low sigh came to his ears.
When Jiang Yao looked back, she saw the man holding his chin, looking at her with affectionate eyes: "When you are in front of me, can you focus a little and not think about other men?"
Jiang Yao found him a little funny. "Didn't you act very generous in front of outsiders just now?"
"You also said we were outsiders, so naturally I have to show my true self in front of you." Li Beiting blinked and said in a tone that was similar to coquettishness, "Don't you like it?"
Jiang Yao was touched by this cuteness, and his ears felt slightly hot. "Not bad."
"Not bad?" Li Beiting leaned closer, his voice magnetic and seductive: "Does it mean it's not good enough? Then teach me how to occupy the full score in your heart."
Jiang Yao pursed his lips, but finally couldn't help but reveal his true feelings, "You don't have to make any changes, as long as it's you."
Li Beiting raised the corners of his lips slightly, and lowered his head happily to place a kiss on her hair.
Like a most faithful believer.
…
The next day at noon, Xu Li called her and asked her to meet to discuss in detail.
After Jiang Yao prepared herself mentally, she still went to the law firm to see him.
The moment he saw her, Xu Li's eyes lit up and he immediately came over to greet her, "Yaoyao, have you had lunch? Would you like something to drink? I'll ask my assistant to order it."
This attitude... is actually quite obvious.
After understanding his thoughts, Jiang Yao was still a little embarrassed, but could only pretend to have the same attitude as before: "No need, let's get down to business!"
She acted quite naturally.
But Xu Li grew up in the countryside and was accustomed to the ways of the world. After becoming a lawyer, he met all kinds of clients. He had to distinguish the truth from falsehood in their words, which made him develop the ability to observe words and expressions.
When he was reporting the next content, he obviously noticed that Jiang Yao was absent-minded.
When she reached out to take the document he handed over, their fingers accidentally touched. Jiang Yao's pupils shrank and she immediately withdrew her hand.
She then realized that her reaction was too exaggerated and quickly made amends: "Sorry, my hand slipped."
"fine."
Xu Li responded indifferently, but his heart sank.
After all... was she discovered?
Was it his behavior yesterday that made Jiang Yao discover the flaw?
Her reaction just now was enough to prove the complexity and awkwardness in her heart.
Xu Li felt bitter in his heart, but his expression remained calm. "This is the current case. I'll tell you the details later."
"Oh okay, thank you for your help then." Jiang Yao stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Li also stood up and walked her to the door.
After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to want to say something.
At this moment, a clear voice came from not far away, "Little Brother Xu."
Qin Keke came over with a lunch box and said with a smile: "I prepared lunch for you, but you have been so busy that you haven't eaten properly yet. You really don't take care of yourself——"
However, halfway through her words, she noticed that there was a stranger present, and she immediately hid the lunch box behind her back in embarrassment, as if she was afraid of embarrassing Xu Li.
"I'm sorry, I, I..." She wanted to avoid it first.
But the next second, Xu Li suddenly reached out his hand to her and pulled her to his side.
"Yaoyao, I haven't had time to introduce you." He put his arm around Qin Keke's shoulders, his expression natural and generous. "This is my girlfriend, Qin Keke! Keke, this is my former classmate Jiang Yao."
They were both stunned at the same time.
Qin Keke was stunned for a moment, then pleasantly surprised. "Senior, you agreed to my pursuit? That's great! I thought I was too reserved and you wouldn't be able to accept my feelings. I haven't even said a word to express my love, but I've received a response. I'm so happy!"
Her starry eyes sparkled, pure without any impurities, and her exuberant emotions seemed to never end.
Xu Li's whole body stiffened, and he regretted his impulsiveness for a moment.
But now that things have come to this, he can't tell Qin Keke that he did this just to prevent Jiang Yao from feeling uncomfortable.
"Well, I've liked you for a long time." He could only continue to tell this lie.
Jiang Yao's heart sank.
Although he acted very well, she was not a fool and could certainly see his purpose.
Looking at the bright smile on Qin Keke's face, she felt a little guilty.
"Ms. Qin, nice to meet you." Jiang Yao could only pretend ignorance and greet the other party.
"Hello."
Qin Keke then remembered that there were outsiders around. She came back to her senses from her excitement and smiled innocently, "Just call me Keke. Miss Jiang is very beautiful in her clothes and has great skin. She is the most beautiful person I have seen since I came to the city. Can I be friends with you?"
Jiang Yao felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Of course."
The two sides exchanged contact information, chatted for a few more words and then said goodbye.
After everyone left, Xu Li released his hand from her shoulder, "Keke, I..."
He felt that some things should be made clear to her.
Qin Keke spoke before he could, assuring him, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I won't take advantage of your girlfriend's status to show off everywhere. You are a big lawyer, and I am just a small clerk in a company. In the future, I will work harder to become someone worthy of you."
Her expression was resilient, as if this relationship had given her infinite courage.
Xu Li's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't continue.
Perhaps he shouldn't tell the truth in such an occasion, otherwise it would only hurt her.
Qin Keke was also unaware of this and returned to work after delivering lunch.
…
Originally, he added Qin Keke's contact information just out of courtesy, but through communicating with her on WeChat, Jiang Yao found that she was a smart girl.
Although she is currently an intern in a small company, she has been helping her boss with planning and running projects together, but she does not get any of the final credit or compensation, and is even scolded by her boss.
Jiang Yao frowned: [This is clearly unfair treatment. Didn't you raise this issue with the higher-ups?]
Qin Keke: [Actually, I did raise some concerns, but my boss said that as a new employee, I shouldn't ask for too much. He's already giving me an opportunity by promoting me, training me, and telling me to learn from him. Once I'm officially hired, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.]
Jiang Yao sneered.
This is clearly workplace PUA. Taking advantage of the newcomer's inability to resist, they exploit her value and finally use her achievements to get promoted.
This silly girl.
