"She is Qili'er from C.T. Company in Edinburgh." Ye Qixuan introduced.
Situ Jia looked away and smiled uncomfortably, "They look really similar, but if you look closely, there is a big difference between this lady and Xixi." Subconsciously, she looked at Lan Xichen next to her, but the latter
His eyes were lowered, and there was no movement on his face.
Qilier didn't know whether she should thank her or not. What she said was equivalent to helping her eliminate the danger.
Ye Qixuan called the manager and signaled that the meal was ready.
Yang Shuo finally understood why they paid so much attention to Qili'er. It turned out to be because she looked like Lan Xichen's former fiancée. He thought that both CEOs were interested in her. He felt much more relaxed during the dinner.
, and was even more attentive to Qilier.
Situ Jia was always observing her, while Qili'er still had a charming and polite smile, chatting with Yang Shuo in English from time to time.
Lan Xichen raised his eyes, and his gaze drifted towards her. Seeing the close look between her and Yang Shuo, he frowned. Before confirming whether she was Ye Qiaoxi, he instinctively
She regards her as her property and does not allow other men to covet her.
"Qili'er," he said suddenly, startling Qili'er, and she immediately asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Lan Xichen put down his knife and fork, with a profound smile on his lips, "Just now, you said you were married, so tell us about your love story. I think it will be very interesting."
Ye Qixuan immediately agreed, "Yes, you are the only one among us who jumped into the grave. Tell us how you feel."
"Are you married?" Situ Jia looked at her in disbelief. After realizing that he was speaking in Chinese, he immediately switched to English and asked again.
"haha, yes."
Instinct tells Qilier that Lan Xichen must be suspicious, otherwise, given his personality, how could he like such gossip?
She rolled her eyes and immediately said with a sweet smile, "My dear friend and I met at a business reception. It was a very old-fashioned love at first sight, and then we fell into a crazy love..." Qilier's face was filled with confusion.
Intoxicated, he continued, "Three months later, he proposed to me... Oh, it was really a romantic proposal. We both like Shakespeare, so he took me to Stratford,
He knelt down and proposed to me in a country church there... Haha, just like that, I married my dear one."
Her love story was almost perfect, but she forgot that the more perfect it is, the less real it is.
Lan Xichen gently pulled down the corner of his mouth, "It's really enviable."
Situ Jia also smiled and said, "Qili'er, you are so happy." The uneasiness in her heart gradually faded away. Regardless of whether she was Ye Qiaoxi or not, seeing her so happy, she should be just a passerby.
"Xichen," Situ Jia gently patted the back of Lan Xichen's hand and whispered, "I have made an appointment with the jewelry store. We will go there in a while."
"Yeah," Lan Xichen nodded.
Jewelry store? Is it related to wedding?
Qili'er lowered her head and focused on the food on the plate, not letting her thoughts wander. She and Lan Xichen had long been a thing of the past, and she shouldn't let him affect her anymore!
"By the way, Qilier," Ye Qixuan said, "hz wants to cooperate with your company and open up the British market. Since you are already here, I hope you can communicate with me, and I will also contact your headquarters.
"
Hearing his words, Qilier was truly relieved. It turned out that Lan Xichen was just for cooperation, not to test her. Then she responded readily, "No problem."
The dinner ended in such a seemingly harmonious atmosphere.
"Qili'er, let me see you off." Yang Shuo immediately introduced himself.
"Haha, okay." Qilier agreed readily, not noticing Lan Xichen's eyes that instantly turned gloomy.
Watching them go away, Situ Jia murmured, "Xixi is like a green little apple, innocent and cute; and she is simply a beauty. There is no way they are the same person."
Ye Qixuan raised his thin lips, "Don't forget, more than six years are enough to completely change a person."
Situ Jia's whole body was shaken. Because of his words, a strong hurricane blew up in his calm heart.
Lan Xichen didn't speak, his sharp eyes revealed a frightening edge.
For six years, that woman had been hiding from him for six years! No matter how he looked for her, she seemed to have completely disappeared. He was desperate for a time and even thought that she might no longer be in this world. But he never gave up looking for her!
So, could this woman who appeared in front of him by chance be her?
The cold lips slowly overflowed with determination, the answer will be there soon.
After declining Yang Shuo's invitation to have coffee, Qilier hurried back to the apartment. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Nina holding a camera and snapping pictures of Arthur who looked reluctant in the living room, "Baby.
, just smile."
Arthur glanced at her boredly. When he saw Qilier coming back, he immediately protested, "Mommy, Aunt Nina is too much. She is infringing on my portrait rights."
"Hey, what did you do to my son?" Qilier asked casually while taking off her shoes.
"Haha, Arthur's appearance is really amazing. We happen to have a theme about parent-child, so I would like to borrow the image of your precious son." Nina said with a flattering smile.
"No." Qili'er refused without thinking. It was obvious to everyone that he and Lan Xichen were carved from the same mold. What if they were exposed and the thousand-year-old demon was attracted?
Nina had already guessed what she was thinking, and the old god said calmly, "Okay, this time it's not public, it's just recorded as information."
"you sure?"
"Guaranteed by personality."
"Change to a useful guarantee."
"..."
It could be seen that Qilier was a little uneasy, so Nina immediately let Arthur go, came over and asked, "Hey, what happened tonight? Who did you go to see in such a beautiful dress?" |
Qi Lier drove Arthur back to the room, then described the scene at dinner, and finally said what she was worried about, "I always feel like he recognizes me."
Nina tilted her head and thought for a long time before saying, "If the only person in this world who can recognize you is him, then he is the only one."
One sentence made Qili'er feel even more anxious.
"However, the only one who dare not recognize each other easily is him."
Qilier frowned, "Why?"
"Haha, don't ask why, just forget in your heart that you are Ye Qiaoxi. I guarantee that you will be safe until the end of your work." Nina blinked, then looked at her watch, "I'm leaving.
, if you don’t leave, my mother will definitely make an excuse to arrest someone and come over to meet her godson.”
"oh,"
After sending Nina away, she seemed to remember something and quickly dialed Zi Ye's phone, "Hey, Zi Ye, I need your help with something... help me find a husband..."
