Jian Chengli's arm on Guan Wan's shoulder stung Lu Yao's heart, but she was more angry than angry. She is more of a psychosomatic person. Because of that arm, she had just held it when she came.
Guan Wan had short hair that looked simple but particularly flattering, reflecting her innocent and lovely face. She looked at Lu Yao across the table. He smiled seriously and said: "Yao Yao. Thank you."
This change of mouth is really fast. Before, she was still called Miss Lu.
Lu Yao's heart was so painful that she couldn't even make a mocking expression. She looked back at Guan Wan. He smiled without changing his expression and said, "You're welcome. As long as you are happy."
As long as Jian Chengli is happy.
There were some people on the table who could make a fuss, and someone immediately raised a glass of wine to say hello to Jian Cheng Li and Guan Wan. Jian Chengli was also a playful person. He held Guan Wan's shoulders with one hand and held a wine glass in the other. He laughed and joked a few times. Then he raised his head and drank.
Qi Ji said to Lu Yao: "Look, your brother will listen to you."
Lu Yao always maintained a smile because she was afraid that she would show an angry expression if she didn't smile.
She comforted herself secretly in her heart. This is not the first time I have seen a similar scene in so many years. She should be used to it being familiar once and twice.
She was used to being by his side as his sister, used to the feeling of secretly loving him, used to his kindness to her, and also used to the pain he caused her.
Lu Yao picked up the cup in front of her. Her cup originally contained a drink. She drank the remaining half of the cup and then reached for the wine bottle in front of Qi Ji.
Naturally, red wine cannot be paired with Mian dishes. The wine bottle contains home-brewed rice wine.
Lu Yao poured herself a glass. Qi Ji looked sideways at her and said, "Can you drink it? The alcohol content is not low."
Lu Yao took a sip first and thought it was okay. She didn't reject the taste. She nodded, then raised her head and drank the whole glass. Qi Ji couldn't help but pull the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Don't drink too much. I won't be able to send your brother home later."
Lu Yao lowered her gaze slightly, her long and curled eyelashes blocking the flash of ridicule in her eyes. She smiled and replied, "He's not going home today."
When Qi Ji heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jian Chengli and Guan Wan across the table. Ever since Lu Yao nodded, Jian Chengli had never taken his arm off Guan Yuan's body.
Qi Ji smiled and joked: "Cheng Li, aren't you going home tonight?"
Jian Chengli seemed to be talking to someone just now, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Lu Yao drinking a glass of wine and heard her smiling and saying something to Qi Ji.
With a high-spirited smile on his handsome face, Jian Chengli said: "I don't want to go back. My dad has made a rule that all those who work or go to school are allowed to go home and live at home on weekends."
As he said that, he glanced sideways at Guan Wan, who was almost half-closed in his arms, and said with a smile, "So, after I send Guan Wan back, I still have to go home to live."
Someone booed: "Would Miss Guan be happy?"
Guan Wan seemed quiet and weak, but could be a joker. She immediately replied with a smile: "I don't care. I can't ask Cheng Li to break the family rules."
Hearing this, Jian Chengli stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "Sensible, just based on your words, I won't go home tonight."
"Oh, did you hear that? This is a shameful act of anger. You don't even dare to listen to what the old man says."
"No, spring nights are short, what's the point of getting up and walking around in the middle of the night?"
When a group of men started to make a fuss, they would naturally say everything out loud. Lu Yao sat next to Qi Ji and laughed along with him. As happy as Jian Chengli and Guan Wan laughed, she laughed even happier.
Even though everyone toasted several times to congratulate Jian Chengli for being single, Lu Yao was not left behind and joined them in toasting.
Maybe after drinking seven or eight glasses in a row, Lu Yao's eyes began to slow down, and the heads around him moved slower and slower.
But this wasn't drunk. If she was drunk, she wouldn't feel her heartache clearly, let alone think about it, but she couldn't help but glance at Jian Chengli from the corner of her eye.
She is a very self-disciplined person, so self-disciplined that Xu Yingjia said she was scary, and Zhan Bai said she abused herself. As long as it is a good habit for her, no matter how difficult it is, she will force herself to develop it; similarly, as long as it is a bad habit, no matter how difficult it is to get rid of, she will never do it again.
Cute Jian Cheng Li... was the only mistake Lu Yao made knowingly. It wasn't that she didn't want to quit, but after eight years, the habit had become ingrained in her bones. If she wanted to change, it would cost her half her life.
Fengbailou's home-brewed rice wine has a sweet taste that leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth after drinking it. Lu Yao doesn't drink often on weekdays, but today she has a special liking for this rice wine.
Unknowingly, she had finished most of the remaining bottle in front of Qi Ji, and when she was whispering to Qi Ji for another bottle, Jian Chengli opposite looked at the two of them and said, "You're almost done. Stop drinking."
When Lu Yao heard this, she didn't look at Jian Chengli's face. She finally drank a little and became a little distracted, but she didn't want to make herself upset again.
Qi Jize said nonchalantly: "It's okay. If she drinks too much, I'll take her home. You can take Miss Guan home tonight."
After saying that, he gave Jian Chengli a look that said, "I understand you."
Qi Ji asked the waiter to bring in the rice wine and poured it for Lu Yao himself. He did not forget to please him and said, "Do you like it? Later I will ask someone to prepare more for you to take home. You ask someone to put it in the refrigerator." You can’t keep this stuff for too long. Call me when you’re done drinking it and I’ll send it to you.”
Lu Yao smiled and replied: "Thank you step brother."
Qi Ji looked happy: "Hey, thank you for what you want. Tell me what you want to eat and drink."
Before Lu Yao could answer, someone next to him said, "Hey, hey, why are there people taking advantage of this?"
Qi Ji glanced over and said, "What kind of robbery did I commit?"
The man didn't look at Qi Ji, he just smiled and said to Lu Yao: "Yao Yao, let me remind you, even though your step brother looks harmless, in fact he is a thief in his heart. You have to be careful to watch out for him."
Lu Yao raised her lips and smiled.
Qi Ji glared and said, "Get out of here, don't slander me in front of Yaoyao."
After saying that, he turned to Lu Yao and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He can get high by drinking some rice wine, but he is spitting blood here."
Lu Yao still smiled, although she smiled silently, but her reddish cheeks and drunken eyes made Qi Ji next to her dreamy.
His throat felt a little dry, so he quickly looked away and drank.
To be honest, Lu Yao wasn't a talkative person, not to mention that the table was full of Jian Chengli's friends. She had no intention of chatting, and only occasionally whispered a few words to Qi Ji beside her, but this scene looked different in the eyes of others.
A buddy sat next to Jian Chengli. The man stared at Qi Ji and Lu Yao who were biting their ears. He lowered his voice and said to Jian Chengli with a smile: "Hey, Qi Ji is interested in your sister."
It's not a question, it's something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
Jian Chengli couldn't help but look across the table, wondering what Lu Yao said to Qi Ji. Qi Ji leaned over, nodding from time to time, and smiling and saying something to her from time to time.
She never talks to people she doesn't know well, but since she entered this room, she has been talking to Qi Ji all night.
Jian Chengli realized at this moment that Qi Ji's relationship was not to bring him and Guan Wan together, but actually to benefit himself.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Jian Chengli frowned inexplicably. He said 'Hey', then slightly raised his voice and said, "Let's talk about it. We've been talking about it all night. You two have something to do with each other." So much to talk about?”
Qi Ji and Lu Yao didn't realize it until the whole table fell silent, and then both of them looked in Jian Chengli's direction.
Qi Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you talking to?"
Jian Chengli looked displeased, three points provocative and four points unclear. He said: "What about you two? What did you tell Yaoyao?"
Qi Ji paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do I have to tell you?"
Qi Ji just replied out of habit, but Jian Chengli took a deep breath. Just as he was about to get angry, he heard Lu Yao next to Qi Ji say: "Step brother told me something I don't know." , It sounds quite fresh, and the teacher just asked us to collect some new information, which can be used. "
There was no smile on Jian Chengli's face. Instead, he looked a little inexplicably unhappy. He said, "If you want to find news, just ask me. He owns a restaurant. Do you want to ask him about the freshest ingredients?"
Qi Ji's eyes widened. Just when he was about to refute Jian Chengli, Lu Yao next to him took a step ahead. She said: "Forget it, you don't mean what you said. You said you would accompany me to Tongzhou to collect information, but then it wasn't me." Went alone.”
Jian Chengli asked instinctively: "When did it happen?"
He didn't even remember when it happened. Lu Yao suddenly looked away. Seeing everyone on the table quiet down and looking at her, she replied with a faint smile: "It's okay, I've finished it."
When she finished speaking, Qi Jike was able to interject a word and said, "Cheng Li, you have to take care of the company and fall in love every day. You are really too busy. I will take care of Yaoyao for you from now on. She wants to know There is no less news here than there is, and she asked me the same thing."
Someone immediately laughed and said: "Look, what am I talking about? Fire prevention, theft prevention, Qi Ji, this is a blatant attempt to pry your sister away."
Jian Chengli seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and the wine just made the fire even more intense.
Looking at Qi Ji, he blinked his eyes, and then opened his lips. His voice was not loud, but he said word for word: "If you want to chase my sister, you must first pass me."
Qi Ji immediately said: "Tell me, how can we do this?"
Hearing this, Jian Chengli suddenly leaned against the back of his chair, then raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "I need a headline, you go find a popular female artist to fall in love, give me an exclusive."
After Qi Ji heard this, he immediately looked disgusted and said, "If you don't want me to chase Yaoyao, you can't use such a damaging trick, right?"
Everyone was laughing. If Qi Ji made headlines with another woman, how could he pursue Lu Yao
The room was full of laughter, but Lu Yao gradually stopped smiling until she had a beautiful expressionless face.
