When Lin Li received a call from Guan Ju'er again, he happened to drive to the underground garage of Ode to Joy and planned to pick her up for a meal.
But when he heard that Andy wanted to invite him to eat crabs and said that he wanted to get to know him, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
But after thinking about it, Lin Li still said to the phone: "Xiaoguan, why don't we forget it this time and let's go out to eat alone. It's mainly because it's our first time to eat together. I don't want other people to be present. Trouble.
You tell Andy and say thank you for her kindness, and I will treat them all to dinner another day as an apology, but I won't go up today."
Without much hesitation, he decisively refused.
Firstly, this was his first official date with Guan Ju'er. If there were so many outsiders, the whole atmosphere of the date would be completely gone. Secondly, when he heard that Qu Xiaoxiao was also there, he was even more reluctant to go up.
Already.
Of course, Lin Li was not afraid of Qu Xiaoxiao and did not dare to meet her. It was just that in the original drama, Dr. Zhao and Qu Xiaoxiao, whom he played, were a couple, and Qu Xiaoxiao fell in love with him at first sight when they met for the first time.
He just fell in love with Zhao Qiping. If he went up now, what would happen if the woman still fell in love with him at first sight?
With her personality, there might be some trouble that would arise, so Lin Li didn't want to have anything to do with Guan Juer, even if it was just a simple meeting, before confirming the relationship with Guan Ju'er.
After listening to what he said, Guan Juer also felt that what he said made sense. This was their first official meeting and date. What was going on with Andy and the others?
She could even have a premonition that if they met Dr. Zhao, they would definitely ask gossipy questions about this and that, and both of them would be very uncomfortable by then.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Andy and Sister Fan now." Guan Ju'er agreed.
In preparation for tonight's meeting, she had been working hard since the afternoon. She had tried on almost all her clothes and carefully prepared her makeup. She didn't want her hard work to go to waste.
"Well, come down after you say hello. I'll wait for you in the garage." Lin Li then hung up the phone.
Upstairs, after listening to Guan Ju'er conveying Lin Li's meaning and apologizing to them, Andy felt a little regretful, but also expressed his understanding: "It doesn't matter, what Dr. Zhao said makes sense, this is you after all.
On the first date, I was the one who was abrupt."
After a pause, she nodded to Guan Ju'er and said, "It's okay, Xiao Guan, then I'll save this meal for next time. You should hurry up and keep your appointment."
Andy didn't take this little thing to heart and invited Lin Li over for dinner. It was originally just a temporary idea out of curiosity.
Fan Shengmei was very disappointed with this. She had thought about making things difficult for the man named Zhao while eating, but she didn't expect that they would not give her this opportunity at all.
Lin Li didn't wait long before Guan Ju'er came down.
She was seen wearing a pink dress, with only a little of her shoulders exposed, and a pair of flat floral white shoes, revealing her delicate ankles, but not her toes.
Judging from her clothes, Lin Li could basically tell that the other party's daily attire must be conservative.
But in fact, Guan Juer is very tall, with a height of at least 1.7 meters. She also has a pair of slender long legs that are the envy of countless girls. She can be described as an out-and-out "treasure girl"!
It's just that she usually wraps herself up so tightly that almost no one notices her hidden charm.
At the same time, under Lin Li's greeting, Guan Ju'er also saw the car parked not far ahead.
Although she didn't know much about cars, she still knew about some common brands. She recognized that the car in front of her had a Volvo badge, which looked expensive at first glance.
However, she misunderstood. The price of the Volvo XC60 that Lin Li was driving was not as high as she thought, just over three hundred thousand. It was a gift from Zhao Qiping's father and mother when he first started working.
It is not considered a luxury car, especially in a city like Shanghai.
"Hello Xiaoguan, I've already made a reservation at the restaurant. Come get in the car." Lin Li smiled at her and took the initiative to open the car door for her.
Seeing his gentleman-like action, Guan Ju'er felt a rush of heat coming out of his face. He couldn't help but blush, and his heartbeat involuntarily increased.
Holding back the mixed emotions of excitement and shyness in her heart, she finally mustered up the courage and got into Lin Li's car.
…
On the 22nd floor, although Guan Juer and Lin Li did not plan to participate in their crab feast, the meal still had to be cooked.
In order to save time, Fan Shengmei and Andy decided to deal with the hairy crabs before Qiu Yingying and the white supervisor arrived.
Andy didn't dare to attack the living creatures in the bamboo basket, but Fan Shengmei was bolder. She picked up the chopsticks and took out the hairy crabs one by one and put them into the sink.
However, because the small chopsticks are not strong enough, occasionally a few hairy crabs fall to the ground, or use their large pliers to hold the chopsticks, which makes Andy exclaim.
Fortunately, Fan Shengmei had a calm look on her face, quite like a heroine among women, but she successfully took out all the hairy crabs, then clapped her hands proudly and said, "You know how powerful sister is, right?"
After hearing her words, Andy hesitated for a moment and decided to correct her: "Actually, my birth date should be one year older than yours, but on the 22nd floor, you are still the eldest sister."
"Isn't it?" Hearing this, Fan Shengmei's eyes widened immediately: "You are really interesting, you have called me Tianjie so many times. No, no, no, you have to call me Fan Xiaomei from now on, and you are not allowed to call me sister anymore. When it comes to us
At this age, being one year older and one year younger has become a matter of principle, so we must not be careless!"
Andy came back from abroad and didn't care about age as much as she did, so he smiled and said, "OK, Miss Fan."
Just when she was about to say something else, the notebook on her desk buzzed, as if there was a message reminder, and she walked over to reply.
Not long after, Qiu Yingying and Manager Bai finally arrived.
When Fan Shengmei saw this manager Bai, she was immediately disappointed. The handsome guy Bai that Qiu Yingying always called him was actually just that. His appearance was average at best, and he was not the super handsome guy she thought at all. Compared with that Dr. Zhao,
They look really different, it's just that Qiu Yingying is in the eye of the beholder.
But then she rolled her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and then she showed a bad smile on her face and raised her voice a bit: "Little earthworm, this is the handsome guy Bai, right? Why don't you introduce him to us quickly!"
As soon as she said this, Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping on the sofa, immediately sat up: "Ah, handsome boy? Where are you?"
