Chapter 24 He Doesn't Like You
Zhou Qingti struggled for two days and decided to confess her relationship with Lu Yanzhi to Lin Miao.
This way she'll have someone to talk to and won't have to keep everything to herself.
I drove to Lin Miao's company to pick her up and take her home for dinner. She said she wanted to see what a large river-view flat looked like, which she could never afford in her lifetime.
It just so happened that Lu Yanzhi was not going home for dinner, so Zhou Qingti still asked his aunt to prepare dinner for the two of them.
Lin Miao exclaimed as soon as she entered the door: "Oh my god, you are really a rich woman now, living in a luxury car and a mansion, and someone even cooks for you."
In ten months, that won’t be the case, Zhou Qingti thought.
After showing her around the mansion, Lin Miao's voice never stopped.
"Damn, your bathroom is bigger than my room."
"Can we sit by the French windows and drink some wine?"
"Your bed can buy a house in G City."
"There are so many clothes. I could never earn enough to buy all these watches for your husband."
Lin Miao was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, "I can't believe my bestie has become so rich."
Zhou Qingti pulled her to sit at the dining table: "Let's eat first, I'm starving."
Unfortunately, eating couldn't stop Lin Miao's mouth: "Your aunt's cooking skills are good."
"Can I interview you about how it feels to become rich suddenly?" Lin Miao held the chopsticks like a microphone and extended them in front of Zhou Qingti.
Zhou Qingti pushed her hand away helplessly: "Eat, I have something to tell you after dinner."
After dinner, Zhou Qingti and Lin Miao chose wine in front of Lu Yanzhi's wine cabinet.
He said you can drink as much as you want.
Gin, champagne and vodka were neatly arranged, but Zhou Qingti barely recognized the brands of these wines.
Lin Miao picked up a bottle of champagne and asked her, "Does your husband drink often?"
"No, he hardly drinks at home."
Finally, they chose a bottle of champagne that Lin Miao recognized and opened it, and the two sat on the floor in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Lin Miao shook her wine glass: "If you want to say something important, just say it. Why do you have to say it after dinner?"
Lin Miao still didn't know what kind of explosive news she would receive, and she felt very comfortable at the moment.
Zhou Qingti looked out the window at the traffic in the distance and said calmly, "Actually, Lu Yanzhi and I have an agreement to get married for a period of one year."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Lin Miao was slow to react.
"What???"
Zhou Qingti and Lin Miao explained the whole story, and Lin Miao took a big gulp of wine to digest the explosive news.
Lin Miao grabbed her hand and said, "Swear you didn't lie to me. You said Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people."
Zhou Qingti made a "V" sign with his right hand beside his sun chakra and swore, "I promise that Chinese people will not cheat Chinese people."
Lin Miao swallowed hard. "So, you and Lu Yanzhi just made a financial deal, and I'm the only one who knows this besides you two?"
Zhou Qingti nodded.
Lin Miao poured some more wine into the glass, then drank it all. "So if this news gets out, I might be hunted down."
"Yes, that shows how much I trust you."
Lin Miao swallowed and asked, "Why did you tell me this suddenly?"
Zhou Qingti took a sip of wine and said, "Because I'm a little confused about the relationship between him and me, I'd like to ask you for advice."
Lin Miao felt a little melancholy: "How can I have the right to consult your relationship which is worth tens of millions."
Zhou Qingti smiled and hit her lightly: "Don't be so talkative, I really need your help."
Lin Miao sat up straight and said, "Tell me what you think. I will analyze it carefully for you."
Lin Miao has had many emotional experiences, and outsiders can think about it from a rational perspective.
This is also the reason why Zhou Qingti came to her to confess.
"Let me ask you a question first." Lin Miao asked the question she really wanted to know before she could speak: "Did you have sex with him?"
Zhou Qingti blushed: "Not yet."
It is normal for best friends to talk about such things. Zhou Qingti blushed when she recalled the scene that day.
Zhou Qingti tried to be as objective as possible when she talked about her and Lu Yanzhi, and Lin Miao listened with great interest.
Lin Miao spoke cautiously: "I don't think he likes you, but he definitely doesn't hate you."
"You said you guys sleep in the same bed every day and you accidentally had sex one time. I don't believe you can hold back as a man."
Zhou Qingti was also puzzled. Isn’t it said that men are animals with lower bodies?
"Could it be that he is not good enough?" Lin Miao said in a low voice.
Zhou Qingti frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I clearly felt it that night."
Lin Miao thought for a while, then said with sudden enlightenment: "I understand!"
Zhou Qingti looked at her seriously.
"He might not like you that much, he just has a slight crush on you, and he's afraid of having a relationship with you and you getting entangled with him, which would make it difficult for him to get away later."
"As for him being nice to you, it's because of his gentlemanly upbringing. Look, he was so kind to Lan Xin, just a classmate, and even took care of her when she was drunk, let alone you, his nominal wife."
The more Lin Miao spoke, the closer she felt to the truth, and she nodded in self-affirmation after she finished speaking.
Zhou Qingti had also thought of this possibility. Lu Yanzhi's gentlemanly upbringing was engraved in his bones.
But I still felt a little disappointed when I heard Lin Miao say that.
Lin Miao raised her glass, clinked it with hers, and drank it all in one gulp. "What's wrong with you? Lin Xiye has been pursuing you for so long, but I've never seen you like this. Are you already fallen for him?"
Zhou Qingti quickly denied: "Impossible."
You can fool others with this, but you can't fool yourself. It's a lie to say that you didn't have a moment of heart-beating.
But fortunately it was only for a moment.
Zhou Qingti is a very rational person. The social status and economic gap between her and Lu Yanzhi is too big.
"Ten months later, I will be a wealthy woman with a net worth of tens of millions." Zhou Qingti drank the wine in the glass.
Lin Miao knows her best friend very well. It is impossible for her to tell her so much if she is not moved. It’s just that she can’t see clearly now. Maybe money has blinded her eyes.
She thought she only loved money, but it was actually more than just money.
Lin Miao tapped her forehead with her finger: "Are you stupid? Have you ever thought about using these ten months to win over Lu Yanzhi? That's more than 50 million!"
Lin Miao was a little disappointed: "You got pregnant with his child during this period."
Zhou Qingti was speechless. "Who told me that a loveless marriage is a grave? Are you trying to make me spend my whole life in a grave?"
During the Chinese New Year, Lin Miao's mother arranged several wealthy blind dates for Lin Miao.
Lin Miao looked down on none of them, saying that having money was of no use without feelings.
Now Zhou Qingti is actually using a child to tie up a man.
Lin Miao knew she was in the wrong and chuckled, "I was just saying that casually. How could an independent woman in this new era possibly use a child to tie a man's heart? That's incredibly stupid."
"Just let it go. Don't like him yet. Wait until you are sure that he likes you before you like him."
Zhou Qingti rolled his eyes in anger: "Lin Miao, are you stupid? Can you control your emotions so easily?"
Of course not, love is the involuntary sinking of self-consciousness.
Lin Miao was a little depressed. Even without love, she could still get tens of millions, but she had nothing. She wanted to shout to the sky: I want to be rich too! I want a sweet love too!
"If I was guilty, the police would come and arrest me instead of listening to your Versailles, baby! These are nothing compared to money."
Zhou Qingti nodded, agreeing with her words, so she decided not to bother herself anymore. "How about you, how are you doing lately? Didn't you say you added Crush on WeChat last time?"
Lin Miao looked at the darkness outside the French window and sighed: "It can be said that there is no progress."
Lin Miao and her crush met in a bar. Modern office workers are under great pressure from work and like to go out for a drink.
Lin Miao saw the same man in the bar three times in a row. He looked three parts like William Chan and three parts like Pakho Chau.
The fourth time, she mustered up the courage to ask for his WeChat ID, and he generously gave it to her. Lin Miao happily thought she had a chance.
Later I found out that he was the owner of the bar, and he would never refuse customers who often went to the store and asked to add him on WeChat.
I want to seduce you but you only want to make money from me.
Zhou Qingti patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Isn't the honey trap working?"
Lin Miao said with a sad face: "He is the owner of a bar, he has seen all kinds of hot beauties!"
In terms of initiative, she is not as good as those who throw themselves into men's arms right away, and in terms of purity, she is still an old slut.
Zhou Qingti gave her some advice: "Next time, wear a fairy-like white dress and be a unique white lotus."
Lin Miao rolled her eyes: "That's not a unique white lotus, that's a big silly cup that doesn't fit in. I'd better continue to be my funny girl."
Lin Miao left at ten o'clock. Before leaving, she patted her shoulder and advised her earnestly: "Even if you are not in a relationship, you can still sleep with him. Mr. Lu is so handsome."
After taking two steps, she turned around and looked at Zhou Qingti and said, "Come on, get him. I hope my bestie can be a rich woman for the rest of her life."
"Thank you for your blessing, and I hope you can win the crush soon."
The house returned to silence, and Zhou Qingti was still sitting by the window in a daze.
