Zhou Xue listened to the discussions outside, feeling angry and shy at the same time. She was angry that Li Yang, who had always been submissive to her, started to want to rebel, and she was shy because the employees below regarded her as Li Yang's meal.
She didn't leave the office all morning. Firstly, she didn't want to see Li Yang's proud look, and secondly, she also needed to think carefully about whether she should break up with Li Yang and draw a clear boundary.
You must be reluctant to break up, but if you don't draw a clear line, how can you get angry at being cheated for so long?
Near noon, the cell phone on the table vibrated, and there was a call from Liu Jian.
"Sister, let's have lunch together at our old place, Rose Restaurant?"
Liu Jian said with great expectation. The greatest joy in his life in recent days was having lunch with Zhou Xue.
"Okay, I'll go there now."
Zhou Xue looked down at her watch and agreed directly.
Rose Restaurant is not far from the Trade Plaza, only separated by a street. When Zhou Xue came over, Liu Jian was already there.
"here."
Liu Jian stood up and waved, her eyes were stunning, and she secretly swallowed her saliva. The white dress showed her perfect figure to the fullest. She walked with a swaying posture, full of elegance and temptation.
After Zhou Xue sat down, she said angrily: "Why are you staring at me now with such a strange look in your eyes?"
Liu Jian shrugged and said truthfully: "Who makes me so beautiful? I can't get enough of her in my lifetime."
"Little poor."
Zhou Xue picked up the cup to drink water. As soon as she put the cup down, she noticed someone standing next to her. She glanced at him and saw that it was Li Yang.
How did this confusion come about?
She felt inexplicably flustered and uneasy. After all, she was just having a temper with Li Yang and had not broken up with him. Now that she was eating with a man and being caught by Li Yang, she was inevitably a little unsure.
"What a coincidence. Mr. Liu, don't you mind if I share a table?"
Li Yang said with a smile.
"I'm very concerned about it. There are many places in the restaurant, so you'd better not disturb us."
Liu Jian also had a faint smile on his face, but the displeasure in his tone was obvious.
"We all know each other, so I'd better join in the fun."
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, he sat down next to Zhou Xue.
"you!"
Liu Jian's face was dark, and he was really helpless. First of all, he came today and did not bring Hei Bai Wuchang with him. He himself was not Li Yang's opponent. Secondly, Zhou Xue was here, so he had to maintain his grace.
Zhou Xue felt the strong smell of gunpowder, lowered her head, and did not dare to say a word.
Red wine, steak, and fruit were served quickly.
"Some people are so thick-skinned, don't they even care if they are not popular?"
Liu Jian smiled coldly.
"Some people think about other people's girlfriends all day long and try their best to poach them. This seems to have some problems with their ideological quality."
Li Yang responded tit for tat and unceremoniously.
Zhou Xue couldn't help hearing this and spat at Li Yang: "What nonsense are you talking about? Liu Jian is my brother."
She really had to make this clear, otherwise the people and diners around her would think she was the kind of bad woman who has two legs.
"Sister, don't talk to him. He's a very mean person. The more you talk to him, the more aggressive he will be."
Liu Jian stared at Li Yang and said disdainfully, then cut the steak, forked a piece with a fork, and handed it to Zhou Xue: "I'll feed you."
Li Yang also forked a piece of steak and handed it to Zhou Xue: "Eat mine."
This, this... Zhou Xue was in a dilemma, knowing very well that no matter whose food she ate, she would offend others: "I, I'm not very hungry, you can eat it yourself."
"No, I have to choose one."
Liu Jian said forcefully.
"Since Mr. Liu wants you to choose, just choose."
Li Yang immediately expressed his stance.
Zhou Xue looked at Liu Jian, then at Li Yang, and finally opened her red lips lightly and bit into Li Yang's steak. Even though she was having a cold war with Li Yang, she couldn't let Li Yang think that she was not single-minded.
Liu Jian silently took back his fork, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Zhou Xue looked a little unbearable: "You eat a lot. I'm mainly worried that you won't be full. Eat quickly. Don't let some boring and petty people affect your mood!"
Liu Jian forced a smile and pretended not to care, but in fact it felt like he had been hit hard in the chest and his heart was broken.
Zhou Xue was comforting him, how could he not hear it?
After all, in Zhou Xue's mind, he was still not as good as Li Yang! The atmosphere that followed was very awkward. Zhou Xue felt uncomfortable all over. After eating half of the meal, he made an excuse to leave first.
"Mr. Liu, are you doing business in Tianwu Continent?"
Li Yang tentatively said that he sent people to Tianwu Continent to investigate Liu Jian, but he has not received any reply yet.
"Li Yang, I know that you are the leader of the Peerless Xuanmen and you are very powerful in Daxia, but I advise you not to offend me and stay away from Zhou Xue, otherwise you cannot bear the consequences."
Liu Jian said indifferently, his eyes were high, like a dragon looking down at ants.
Li Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Threaten me?
The thing I'm not afraid of the most is threats. I just hope that the Zhou family tragedy has nothing to do with you, otherwise I will definitely kill you!"
Liu Jian's face was cold and his eyes were as sharp as swords: "You are overthinking this. Zhou Xue is my best friend. How could I hurt her relatives? I came from Tianwu Continent this time just to investigate Zhou Xue."
Family tragedy.”
His refusal to admit was not because he was afraid of Li Yang, but because he didn't want Zhou Xue to know the truth.
"I hope so."
Li Yang put down his words, stood up and left, "I came in a hurry and didn't have any money on me, so I can only cost you money. Next time you treat my woman to dinner, you'll have to pay the bill."
Liu Jian smiled coldly and remained silent.
your woman?
Maybe that's the case now, but Zhou Xue will be his before long.
Li Yang walked quickly and soon caught up with Zhou Xue and said calmly: "Zhou Xue, we haven't broken up yet. I hope you can remember your identity!"
It's not that he is stingy, but that Liu Jian makes him feel very dangerous and extreme. He is deeply afraid that Zhou Xue will be in danger if he gets close to Liu Jian. In addition, he also wants to be tougher now, but Zhou Xue is always suppressing change.
A one-sided situation.
"What did I do?"
"Don't I even have the right to have a meal with my friends?"
"If you can't accept it, then let's break up!"
Zhou Xue's pretty face was calm and she said coldly, this Hudan is really going to rebel, how dare he talk to her like this?
"I have to say it before we break up, your words don't count."
Li Yang's tone was domineering and noncommittal.
"I don't care about you."
Zhou Xue quickened her pace, she really didn't want to be with Li Yang anymore, so why should her words not count?
Li Yang grabbed her arm, put his other hand on her back, and hugged her sideways: "You must be exhausted from traveling so far to date a man. I will carry you back to the company."
"What are you doing! Put me down quickly!"
Zhou Xue was in a panic, her pretty face was red. It was broad daylight, and there were so many passers-by, which made her very shy and embarrassed.
"Stop yelling. If you keep yelling, I will carry you and walk around Nanhuai."
Li Yang said coldly.
"Neuropathy!"
Zhou Xue muttered in a low voice, and really didn't dare to yell anymore. On the one hand, she was afraid that Li Yang would not be able to do what he said, and on the other hand, feeling Li Yang's strong masculine aura, her whole body softened and she had no strength at all.
.
The people passing by all looked sideways with warm expressions, especially the men who envied Li Yang to the core. It would be great if they were the ones holding the beautiful woman. It would be worth dying.
“Are today’s young people really open-minded?”
The old man sighed.
"This girl is just acting coquettishly with her boyfriend. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
The old lady retorted.
Zhou Xue's face was burning, and she looked extremely embarrassed. She stretched out her hand and pinched Li Yang's arm hard. This guy was really MAN and handsome when he looked domineering, but it really made her lose face. Then she
She was obviously picked up by force, so how could she act like a spoiled child?
