"That's not true..."
Although Xiao Li denied it, his tone was different from usual. Ye Qingqing knew immediately that there was definitely a problem and became interested. "If you don't tell me, I'll call my great-grandmother in a bit and have her ask you herself."
"Oh dear, really not, it's not even close to happening!" Little Li was anxious. She respected the old lady very much, and if the old lady really came to the department, she definitely wouldn't be able to keep it a secret.
“You already have the birth details, so it’s only a matter of time before you start. Tell me, what does the man do, and how old is he?” Ye Qingqing asked directly.
Unable to resist, Xiao Li could only awkwardly say, "You know that person; he's pursuing me, but I haven't agreed yet."
"Someone I know? Who is it?"
Ye Qingqing's eyes widened, and she quickly listed all the eligible young men she knew, but in the end, she found none. The ones she knew were either too old, too young, or already taken, except for Zhu Zi and Tie Dan.
But Zhu Zi has a deadpan expression, Tie Dan is in the south and already has Tang Yuan Yuan, so who is this Xiao Li? Could it be—
"You're not with a married man, are you? Don't do anything stupid!" Ye Qingqing said seriously.
Xiao Li was both amused and exasperated. "What are you thinking? How could I be a mistress? That person isn't married, he's just a bit older, and he's from out of town, so it's quite far. He's a pretty good person, but I'm afraid there might be problems if it's too far away."
Her biggest concern was the distance; it was inconvenient to go back to her parents' home, and if she were bullied outside, her brothers wouldn't be able to support her.
“With today’s advanced transportation, even the northernmost to the southernmost point is only a few hours by plane. As long as you’re not a foreigner, everything is fine,” Ye Qingqing reassured her.
However—
"It's in a foreign country, in Northern Europe, which is very far away. I can't even speak English clearly, so I'd be completely blind there."
Xiao Li couldn't hold back any longer and wanted Ye Qingqing to help her make a decision. She had been so worried lately. She liked him, but she was afraid that there would be many problems in the future.
Ye Qingqing was completely dumbfounded. Holy crap, he really is a foreigner. Where did Xiao Li pick up this foreigner?
"Wait, when did I meet a foreign man?"
Xiao Li said irritably, "It's Dr. Bruno, the one who treated your aunt. Now you know, right?"
Ye Qingqing swallowed hard, her heart pounding again. It was Bruno! This guy was shuttling between the hospital and Pingjiang, specifically to introduce patients to Ye Qingqing. He spent most of his time in Pingjiang, and last time he even said he wanted to settle down here.
So it was all for Xiao Li!
"When did you two get together? It's just one meal, right?" Ye Qingqing was even more curious about this. Xiao Li and Bruno's social circles were completely different, so how did they end up together?
"Not long after that meal, my company took on a job with a foreigner, doing regular cleaning for their homes. None of my employees understood any foreign languages, and after a few visits, they weren't satisfied. So, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it myself. It turned out that the foreigner was Bruno, and he recognized me, and then..."
"So you two hooked up?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"What hookup? That's how we met. Then Bruno confessed his feelings to me, but I never accepted."
"Why don't you agree? Bruno is a great guy, handsome, from a good family, earns millions a year, and is a PhD student at a prestigious international university. He's a highly eligible bachelor even in Europe. Why don't you agree?" Ye Qingqing couldn't understand.
