Sheng Lijue glanced at Assistant Lin expressionlessly. The poor assistant could only quietly raise the phone and nodded slightly.
Sheng Lijue refused: "I have an appointment tonight."
"Who is it?" Sheng Yarong glanced at Assistant Lin unhappily: "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
"A customer." Seeing that the boss didn't say it directly, Assistant Lin didn't dare to reveal the secret casually, so he just brushed it off.
But this obviously did not satisfy Sheng Yarong, so she decided that Sheng Lijue was trying to evade, and called the old man directly to complain: "Dad, Li Jue is too busy at work, I even brought Yaoyao to the company, and I can't even make an appointment for a meal..."
…”
Jiang Yuyao glanced at her quietly, but stared at Sheng Lijue with a very helpless look, showing her innocence vividly.
Soon, the old man got angry on the phone and almost called Sheng Lijue back to clean him up. Sheng Yarong felt very happy after hearing this.
"Ajue, please express your opinion quickly, otherwise dad will make you faint again later?" Hearing the old man's cough, Sheng Yarong quickly assisted: "Which client have you made an appointment with? Sister can tell you for you, or let me tell you.
Mingcheng will meet you?"
In order to cope with the errands and to prevent people from suspecting the identity of the 'client', Sheng Lijue ignored Sheng Yarong and could only agree: "Dad, I understand."
The old man finally calmed down: "Take good care of Yaoyao. It's all thanks to her these times."
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Lijue asked the two of them to wait outside and took Assistant Lin back to the office: "Has the restaurant been booked?"
"I've already told Miss Shi." Assistant Lin said bravely, "When Miss Jiang came over just now, Miss Shi also heard it."
Sheng Lijue put down the document for a moment and glanced at him coldly. Assistant Lin said unjustly: "I don't know why they came here suddenly..."
"Let's find out who leaked the itinerary." Sheng Lijue was very clear in his mind. Sheng Yarong came prepared, so he must be unclean around him.
Assistant Lin also heard this meaning and nodded quickly in agreement: "At that time, Miss..."
"I'll take care of it while you pick up Qiuqiu as planned." Sheng Lijue finally compressed the work to be completed during the day. He didn't even have a good lunch, so how could he give up the opportunity to meet Shi Qiuqiu?
As for Jiang Yuyao, she was not in his plan at all.
Assistant Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements right away. It just so happens that Miss Shi has work today and will finish later."
Sheng Yarong got impatient waiting outside, and Sheng Lijue arrived late. He drove the two of them to the agreed restaurant in silence.
Then Sheng Yarong made a sensible excuse to leave, and gave Jiang Yuyao an encouraging look before leaving, making her blush.
This restaurant is a famous tourist attraction that has emerged in the city in recent years. It is luxuriously decorated and full of sentiment. It is a must-have place for upper-class men and women to date. Many people also hold weddings here. The famous scenes can be counted on one hand.
Come, it is known as the 'love base'.
It's self-evident what Sheng Yarong is thinking about having dinner at a place like this.
Sheng Lijue resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and looked at Jiang Yuyao: "Why do you want to come here to eat?"
"Ah? What happened here?" Jiang Yuyao saw that Sheng Lijue's face was not good, so she quickly pretended to be stupid: "Sister Yarong helped me book a place. This restaurant is very beautiful and romantic. I have been abroad for so long that I forgot about it.
There used to be such a nice place here.”
The top floor of the restaurant was reserved, and the oversized rooftop restaurant was decorated very romantically, with delicate roses as decorations, silently exuding the atmosphere of inviting people to fall in love.
She didn't want to pretend too much, so she blinked her eyes and said with a red face: "So that's it, brother Li Jue, don't you want to come here to eat with me?"
Sheng Lijue looked at her innocent eyes and couldn't say anything too harsh. The two were childhood sweethearts. Jiang Yuyao was very clingy when he was a child. He always treated her as his sister. After not seeing each other for so many years, he couldn't make things too complicated.
Ugly.
"You're here, let's sit down and eat." Sheng Lijue took the lead and sat down, not wanting to show a gentlemanly demeanor in front of her, otherwise it would give unnecessary hints.
I just took this opportunity to tell her clearly.
Unexpectedly, his initiative to sit down was another hint to Jiang Yuyao, which made her excited. She didn't care whether Sheng Lijue had a gentlemanly demeanor or not. Anyway, she had loved Sheng Lijue's cold and domineering spirit since she was a child.
"Brother Li Jue and sister Ya Rong helped us order a lot of special dishes. This crispy salted chicken was the best made by your servants when I was a kid. I was greedy at that time and often followed you home to eat. I was even eaten by
The elders laughed for a long time..." As the waiters brought delicious dishes to the table, Jiang Yuyao also took the initiative to bring up the topic, recalling the past, trying to arouse Sheng Lijue's resonance.
However, his expression was indifferent from beginning to end, and he looked at his watch several times, looking a little absent-minded.
"Brother Li Jue, do you have something important to do tonight?" Jiang Yuyao asked a little disappointed.
"No... I'm sorry." Sheng Lijue was wondering if Shi Qiuqiu's work was over, but she never responded to her message, so he didn't want to sit here and waste time. But thinking of his purpose, he could only put down his phone:
"Yao Yao, I actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, several men and women in exquisite formal attires lined up on stage carrying musical instruments and performed on a small round stage specially built nearby.
The repertoire is not vulgar love music, but a performance that Sheng Lijue likes very much, and the elegant and clear sound of the piano flows out.
Jiang Yuyao closed her eyes and hummed softly, with a faint smile on her lips, looking very intoxicated.
Sheng Lijue's restless mind was soothed by the music, and he had no choice but to swallow the topic for the time being. However, he always felt that such an atmosphere made him uncomfortable. The piano music that Qiuqiu specially prepared in the past to please him came to mind.
Even if he is not that skilled, it is music that can reach his heart.
"Brother Li Jue, do you still remember this piece of music?" Jiang Yuyao didn't know when she opened her eyes and looked at Sheng Li Jue's noble cheeks with burning eyes: "This is the first piece of music you taught me to play. Later I
I keep practicing, but I can’t get your flavor out..."
Sitting opposite Jiang Yuyao, Sheng Lijue's throat became tight and he became increasingly uncomfortable. He suppressed the urge to lift his legs and leave several times.
There was a slight worry on Sheng Lijue's eyebrows. He just wanted to make it clear to Jiang Yuyao so that there would be no misunderstanding between them, and he could also go to Shi Qiuqiu's place to see the situation.
However, when he saw Jiang Yuyao's bright and flawless smile, he hesitated. It had nothing to do with Jiang Yuyao's appearance, but after all, the two were childhood sweethearts.
And Jiang Yuyao took good care of the old man. Based on this alone, he was embarrassed to let her lose face on the spot.
