On the way back to the hotel
Bai Qianmo's phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, he paused slightly.
Why would Li Yushu call her at this time?
After a moment of contemplation, Bai Qianmo pressed the answer button.
A familiar yet unfamiliar deep male voice came from the other end.
"Hey, Qianmo."
"Mr. Li."
Li Yushu gave a wry smile at Bai Qianmo's distant and polite address.
"We're friends, aren't we? Why do you have to be so distant with me?"
Bai Qianmo remained silent. She didn't consider herself a friend of Li Yushu, but saying that would be very hurtful.
The conversation suddenly froze, and after a moment of silence, a soft sigh came from the other end of the phone.
Did you receive the flowers?
Bai Qianmo frowned: "You gave it to me?"
Li Yushu smiled and said, "I just happened to be in Shanghai on a business trip. Yesterday, Nie Siqi told me that you were filming in Shanghai. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came to the set to see you. But when I got there, the crew told me that today was the day you finished filming, so they sent me a bouquet of flowers."
Li Yushu paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Qianmo, can we meet now?"
Bai Qianmo pondered for a moment: "Where?"
Li Yushu said happily, "I'm at the coffee shop across from your hotel right now, is that alright?"
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Qianmo looked at the bouquet of roses she was holding and fell into deep thought.
What exactly was Li Yushu's purpose in approaching her?
Judging from his conversation with Zhang Yafei that day, they were in cahoots.
If Zhang Yafei is Zhao Guofeng's person, then what is the relationship between Li Yushu and Zhao Guofeng?
Filled with questions, Bai Qianmo went downstairs at the hotel, handed the bouquet of flowers to Xia Wei, and then crossed the street to the coffee shop.
From a distance, you can see a tall and handsome figure standing at the entrance.
Upon seeing Bai Qianmo, the man slowly walked towards them.
"Qianmo." Li Yushu still had that gentle smile on his face.
"Have you been here long?"
"No, I just got here too. It's cold outside, let's go inside."
Bai Qianmo nodded, and the two walked together toward the coffee shop, where Li Yushu gentlemanly opened the door.
Not far away, two girls got out of a taxi.
One of the girls glanced casually at the entrance of the coffee shop and let out a soft "Eh."
"Isn't that Bai Qianmo?"
Another girl looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young couple standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, with the man gentlemanly opening the door for the girl next to him.
“Li Yushu?” Nie Siqi murmured the name softly.
His gaze was fixed on the man and woman who entered the coffee shop.
"Siqi, is that her boyfriend? He seems like a good catch." The girl next to her didn't notice that something was wrong with Nie Siqi's expression and continued talking to herself.
"As expected, rich people like pretty girls. Bai Qianmo's face is probably the type that most men like."
Nie Siqi's face was as pale as paper, and her heart felt as if it had been pierced by countless sharp thorns. Shame, anger, and jealousy consumed her.
Li Yushu contacted her today, and she was happy all day because of it.
She was deeply attracted to this man from the first moment she saw him, and the more she learned about him, the more irresistibly she fell for him.
Unlike other sons of celebrities, he was not frivolous or arrogant. He was a gentleman, gentle, and learned. At a young age, he had already become a remarkable diplomat. He also loved mountain climbing and sports, and was fluent in multiple languages.
This kind of man really attracted her, so she put aside her reserve and pride and took the initiative to contact a man who was still a relative stranger for the first time.
She would send him text messages to check on him from time to time, and he would reply politely.
But it was precisely because he was too polite that she felt this man was very distant from her.
It wasn't until yesterday, when she casually mentioned that she and Bai Qianmo were filming in the same production crew, that he seemed to regain interest in continuing the conversation.
Thinking back now, Nie Siqi chuckled self-deprecatingly.
At the time, she didn't mention Bai Qianmo unintentionally. As a woman herself, she knew very well that on the day she first met Li Yushu at the Bai family, only when he looked at Bai Qianmo did a glimmer of starlight appear in his unfathomable eyes.
"Siqi, shall we go in and take a look?"
A suggestion from her companion pulled Nie Siqi back from her wandering thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go, let's just treat it as going for a coffee."
Before Nie Siqi could speak, her companion had already pulled her towards the coffee shop.
In the coffee shop
Li Yushu chose a spot that was relatively close to a corner.
After ordering two coffees, Li Yushu asked, "What kind of dessert would you like?"
"I don't eat sweets, but coffee is fine with me!"
Li Yushu looked up at her with a smile: "You are still the first girl I have met who doesn't eat sweets."
Bai Qianmo withdrew her gaze from the window. She had always thought she didn't like sweets anymore, but she really liked the pastries made by Grandma Gu's family.
It might not be that she doesn't eat sweets, but rather that the meaning behind the dessert varies depending on who gives it to her, and thus her mood when eating it changes.
“I remember that our company’s sister Yafei really likes to eat desserts, so fans call her Sweetie in private.”
A surge of emotion suddenly welled up in Li Yushu's calm and unwavering eyes.
He quickly understood the meaning of Bai Qianmo's words, and then thought of the familiar figure he had seen with Zhang Yafei in the coffee shop a while ago.
He only glanced at the person as he passed by. The person had their hat pulled low, but the person's demeanor felt familiar. So when he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back, only to find that the person was no longer in their seat.
