Ou Bai’s handsome face suddenly clouded over, threatened in public?
But, he thought Li Qiao was bluffing!
At that moment, before Ou Bai could speak a word of sarcasm, Shang Yu had already lowered his crossed legs, swept a warning glance at Ou Bai, and then his warm and wide palm landed on Li Qiao’s head, gently patting it twice, “It’s time to eat.”
It was just past seven o’clock at this time.
The dissatisfaction in Li Qiao’s mind disappeared instantly because of Shang Yu’s affectionate gesture.
Her tangled emotions were like a flower blooming with vigor in spring, fluttering in the wind and slightly drifting.
Later, Li Qiao followed Shang Yu out of the court absentmindedly, and was somewhat awakened by the wind that hit her face in the underground garage.
She realised belatedly that Shang Yu’s action of patting her head seemed to be like patting a pet dog.
Pet Dog Li Qiao: “…”
…
At seven-thirty, Crystal Garden.
The Crystal Garden Restaurant located in the city center is nestled near the precious Royal Garden Scenic Area.
This place is known for its royal top-tier service experience, and those who can dine here are either politicians or nobility.
Even ordinary wealthy people can’t get a dining pass to come in.
Li Qiao followed Shang Yu through the VIP passage all the way to the Ripples Garden private room, with Liuyun diligently following behind them, playing the role of a handyman.
In the private room, there were classic works of calligraphy and painting everywhere, and the tables and chairs made of Huanghuali wood emitted the scent of money.
Sitting opposite each other at a square table, were Li Qiao and Shang Yu.
Liuyun respectfully took the bamboo menu from the server dressed in court attire and handed it to them both.
While ordering, Li Qiao’s gaze fell upon the text on the bamboo menu, but her thoughts were on Shang Yu.
In the ancient-style room, he sat upright in a black shirt, his rolled-up sleeves revealing the well-defined muscles, every move radiating wildness and unrestraint.
As the man picked up a celadon ear-handled teapot, Li Qiao’s gaze also fixed on his fingers.
Just now, it was those fingers that had patted her head.
Tsk, even his fingers looked good.
“Don’t look at me, look at the menu.” Right then, Shang Yu placed a teacup across from Li Qiao and tapped the bamboo menu with his fingertips.
Li Qiao, not hiding her curiosity at all, tapped on the bamboo with her fingertips, imitating him, “Master Yan, may I interview you for a moment?
Just now, Ou Bai called you a ‘cleanup guy’.
What were you thinking then?”
Shang Yu withdrew his hand from serving the tea and poured himself another cup.
The wisps of steam rose and dispersed in front of him, blurring the smile in his eyes, “What do you think I was thinking?”
His counter-question left Li Qiao silent for a few seconds, teasingly suggesting, “Shouldn’t you be sending him to Africa to mine?”
Shang Yu sipped from his teacup as his brows relaxed, “I don’t have any mines in Africa.”
Oh, so in other words, he was just protecting his buddy, huh?
Li Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth grumpily, turning back to the menu, but then she heard Shang Yu’s mellow voice tinged with a trace of amusement, “Do you want him to go mining?”
“Indeed, I had that thought.” Li Qiao nodded lazily, propping her cheek with her hand.
Shang Yu set down his water cup, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he looked at Li Qiao’s misty deer-like eyes, eyebrows playfully arched, “Afraid it won’t work; he still has three film contracts with Yan Emperor Entertainment.”
That meant…
Li Qiao’s heart stirred, continuing to probe, “So after those contracts are done, it’s possible?”
With that said, even the handyman Liuyun couldn’t help but shoot a glance their way.
This Miss Li, she seemed not to know when to stop while she was ahead.
He could foresee that what awaited her next would definitely be ridicule and rebuke from the master.
Then, Liuyun heard his boss’s deep response, “Hmm, it’s worth considering.”
