Chapter 124 Just Because I Like You
Chapter 124 Just Because I Like You
That bottle of Romanee-Conti was probably drunk by Zhang Chun'er. Lu Xingchen didn't drink it because he really wasn't in the mood, and Chen Xiaoyun didn't drink it because she had to stay awake and take care of Zhang Chun'er.
At the table of three people, only Zhang Chun'er, who was not very good at drinking, was slightly tipsy, which made her look even sweeter and more charming. She leaned her arms on the table, held her face with both hands and said:
"I now know that life can be so free. Really, Xiaoyun, you must work hard to make money. Once you have money, not only will your quality of life improve, but you will also become more confident."
Zhang Chun'er thought about it, "I didn't even dare to look Mr. Li in the eye before, but now I dare to look back whenever he looks at me. If he stands outside the studio and looks at me, I won't feel awkward and can perform better."
Chen Xiaoyun glanced at Lu Xingchen uncomfortably. Seeing that she looked normal, she whispered to Zhang Chuner, "Boss Li still comes to watch your live broadcasts often?"
Zhang Chun'er denied it with a smile, "He is too busy, he only comes to see me when he has time..."
As she was talking, Chen Xiaoyun suddenly stood up and shouted, "Boss Li!"
"You're so fake..." Zhang Chun'er followed Chen Xiaoyun's line of sight and saw Li Zhen and Song Baixian coming over. She couldn't help but stand up and greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Li, are you coming to eat too?"
Lu Xingchen turned around with his back to the man and saw him. The familiar phrase "enemies always meet on a narrow road" popped into his mind, but he had to stand up and greet him politely, "Boss Li, Mr. Song."
Li Zhen said in a normal tone: "No need to be so serious about getting off work, sit down and continue eating."
Song Boxian stood behind the actor and watched the show with a smile on his face.
Li Zhen turned around and asked him, "Didn't you tell me there was a seat available?"
Did he tell him that? After Song Baixian confirmed his eyes with him, he said in his heart that he admired him and said, "I thought these beauties were with you."
As expected of a brother who had wet the bed together since childhood, Li Zhen didn't seem to bother with him and said, "Forget it, just find a place for me to take care of you."
Zhang Chun'er immediately stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I did mention your name... If you don't mind, why don't you share a table with us?"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Xingchen, "Is it convenient?"
Lu Xingchen wondered if she had been possessed by evil spirits recently. She could run into this kind of person everywhere. She said politely, "As long as Mr. Li doesn't mind, I'm fine."
Li Zhen looked at Chen Xiaoyun again.
Chen Xiaoyun stood up nervously, but then she remembered that Zhang Chun'er said that President Li often came to see her work, so she gave up her seat professionally so that Li Zhen could sit next to Zhang Chun'er.
"Boss Li, please sit here."
"I can sit here." Li Zhen sat down in the empty seat next to Lu Xingchen as a matter of course.
Lu Xingchen gave in. She refused his meals for a day, but ended up sitting at the same table with him.
Seeing Comrade Li Zhen finally showing a happy expression, Song Baixian despised him in his heart, then said to him with a smile: "Then I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat."
Li Zhen asked Lu Xingchen again, "Do you want to eat anything else?"
Lu Xingchen felt a chill down his spine. "Thank you, Mr. Li. I'm done eating now."
Li Zhen looked at Zhang Chun'er and Chen Xiaoyun again, "Go ahead and order whatever you want to eat."
Chen Xiaoyun looked at Zhang Chun'er nervously, waiting for her to make a decision.
Zhang Chun'er said, "No need, Mr. Li. You must not have eaten after get off work. Just take care of yourself."
Li Zhen said to Song Baixian: "Is there any more dessert?"
"should have."
"Then let's have some dessert. Can you eat ice cream?" Li Zhen turned around and asked Lu Xingchen, "The strawberry ice cream here is pretty good."
He was so attentive that he didn't care about the occasion. Lu Xingchen was so embarrassed that she could only continue to say politely, "Thank you, Mr. Li, I don't like strawberries.
Seeing that some people were turned away before they even had their meals, Song Boxian reluctantly offered friendly support and said with a smile, "Then I'll bring a few more flavors over, and you can all try which one you like."
Song Boxian left.
Li Zhen did not show any embarrassment or dissatisfaction because of Lu Xingchen's refusal, but he no longer looked like the "cold-faced devil" in the company. He asked Lu Xingchen to get him water and asked Lu Xingchen to pour him tea. It seemed that he was ordering her to do things, but in fact he was just finding things to interact with her.
Even while waiting for the food, he looked at the half-eaten steak in front of Lu Xingchen and asked her, "Are you done eating?"
Lu Xingchen did answer him like that just now, so he said again: "Yes, Mr. Li."
As he listened, he took the plate of steak in front of her and continued cutting and eating.
Lu Xingchen's heart was pounding. She didn't know if it was because she was scared by his actions or because she felt it was too embarrassing in front of Zhang Chun'er and Chen Xiaoyun. She felt terrible.
Is this really the CEO Li she knew? Zhang Chun'er was also shocked for a while, she reached out to take the wine glass on the table, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then she was barely able to calm down.
Dinner is over.
Song Baixian very considerately gave Zhang Chuner a price.
Li Zhen didn't drink a single sip of wine, just to drive Lu Xingchen home and enjoy the time together in the car.
Lu Xingchen didn't refuse, because she had something to ask him. After the car drove out for a few minutes, she said to Li Zhen: "Please stop the car, let's talk."
Li Zhen was not unaware of her emotions, and he guessed that his actions had made her angry.
But he couldn't keep using his mother or Li Wen as an excuse to look for her, nor did he want her to feel lost and guess if she was being so because of his unclear attitude once she rejected him.
He was indeed afraid that she would refuse.
I really can't stand him guessing her mind all the time, like a lunatic. When he sees her smiling at him, he feels happy and thinks she has feelings for him too. When she gives him a slightly impatient look, he immediately thinks that she may not like him at all.
Anyway, it's a risk of getting hurt whether you stick your head out or hide your head, so Li Zhen parked the car on the side of the road as he was told.
But even after making up his mind, he still didn't dare to look at her. He really didn't know when he would be able to change from being so cowardly in front of Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen looked at him and said nothing. He organized his words and said, "Tell me, your recent abnormal behavior is just a disguised way of taking revenge on me."
She actually thought he was taking revenge? Li Zhen turned his head and looked at her, "Do I have so much free time and energy to take revenge on you?"
"But you said at the beginning that it was just for revenge."
"..." Li Zhen's chest felt tight, so she would rather this was just revenge? Li Zhen swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, "Would you feel relieved if you thought so?"
Lu Xingchen looked at his frown and swallowed, "Yes."
"That's a pity. I thought I wanted revenge, but I didn't do it. Every time I saw you, I was soft-hearted. I was so soft-hearted that I hated myself. But it doesn't matter if I hate myself. My heart softened when I saw you."
Lu Xingchen suddenly felt that the pressure brought by what she thought was just her illusion had become extremely heavy. She asked him in confusion, "Is it because of Li Wen and Li Shu? So you are soft-hearted towards me?"
She didn't believe him or didn't want to admit that she knew his feelings, so when he looked at her so intensely, she asked again, "It's just because of Li Wen and Li Shu, right?"
Li Zhen suddenly laughed at himself, then looked at her seriously and resignedly and answered: "It's just because I like you."
