C113

The next evening, Xing Lie invited a stylist to his house and meticulously tidied himself up from head to toe.

He had always been a handsome man, and after dressing up as a stylist, he had always been a handsome young man. Coupled with his natural noble air, he could easily win the hearts of countless girls in the blink of an eye.

But Xing Lie did not care about the hearts of other girls, he only had one goal today — — Qin Man.

Qin Man returned home today and the plane was about to arrive.

Looking in the mirror, Xing Lie fixed his hair for a while, then left the house hurriedly and drove to the airport to pick up Qin Man.

's plane landed on time, just as she came out of the exit, she saw Xing Lie who was waiting in the crowd.

Xing Lie stood in the middle of the crowd with a tall and slender body and elegant temperament. He looked like a super male model who had just walked down from the stage, and was completely out of place with the rest of the people around him.

Qin Man walked over while pushing out a bow, and laughed: "Why are you dressed so handsome today? Those who don't know what kind of celebrity do you think you are, coming to the airport to perform. "

Xing Lie took her luggage and said: "There is nothing I can do. Every time I see you, you will be even more beautiful than last time.

Qin Man paused for a moment, and did not continue with the topic of "not being good enough for good", but said: "It's getting late, let's go early."

Every time they talked about issues related to their relationship, Qin Man would change the topic. Today was no exception.

Xing Lie was a little disappointed for a moment, but he quickly braced himself and replied: "Alright, how about I send you back to your old house first?"

Qin Man thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the Time Bar on Zhongshan Road first. I have an appointment there with a classmate, I need to go get some information from the laboratory."

"Yes, MyQueen." "As you wish, Your Majesty."

Xing Lie bowed and put it in the trunk. Then, he opened the back door for Qin Man and bowed.

Qin Man smiled and shook his head, then turned and sat on the first seat: "I want to sit next to you so that I can talk with you on the way."

The car's passenger seat was the most dangerous part of the accident, but it was also the closest to the driver. The reason Qin Man chose to sit in the front passenger seat was undoubtedly to pass on her intimacy to Xing Lie.

Xing Lie immediately swept away the haze in his heart, and became spirited once more.

The Time Bar was located in a bustling area in the center of the city, slightly far from the airport. Coupled with the fact that it coincidentally caught up with the tail end of the evening rush hour, it took them some time to get there.

Halfway between the two of them, Qin Man's phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately picked it up.

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious as it asked, "Why aren't you here yet?"

Qin Man said: "There's a traffic jam on the road, we'll be there soon."

The person on the other side asked, "Then how do we meet up later? "I've never seen you before. How do I know who you are?"

Qin Man lowered her head to look at her clothes, and replied: "I wore a dark green shawl today, it's very recognizable."

The other party paused for a moment before urging her, "Then hurry up. My eyelids are constantly jumping right now. I have a feeling that something is going to happen …"

"Don't be nervous," Qin Man interrupted the other party, emphasizing once again, "I'm almost there."

She reassured him and hung up.

Xing Lie sat beside her and vaguely heard his words. Taking advantage of the time when they were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, he asked her: "What, your friend is pressing you? And what are you wearing? It can't be that I haven't seen you in a few years and have been unable to recognize you, right? "

"Do you know? You are the only one, no matter how late I am, who would never make a phone call to hurry me, who would never make a mistake in the crowd. " Qin Man suddenly asked.

Xing Lie opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.

The red light at the intersection turned green. It took him a moment to react before he stepped on the accelerator and drove past the intersection.

Throughout the journey, he kept pondering over the meaning of Qin Man's words just now.

Was she complaining about being urged on by her classmates, or … Is he expressing his goodwill to me?

Xing Lie silently thought along the way until he entered the Time Bar with Qin Man, but he was still unable to think it through.

For some reason, he felt a surge of irritation in his heart.

It was not the first time that Qin Man had said such ambiguous words.

Every time he felt despair and wanted to give up on his feelings for Qin Man, those words that had an unknown meaning would once again ignite his hope. But when he wanted to go a step further with Qin Man, Qin Man would always purposely distance herself from him.

Repeated like this, Qin Man became an obsession that he could not get rid of, nor could she give up.

Maybe it was a romance that was unique to those with high knowledge like Qin Man, but Xing Lie wasn't a person who liked to be complicated. He liked to say things one after another, to explain everything clearly so that no one would misunderstand him.

Just like Ding Xiaoyuan, simple and honest, with all of her thoughts written on her face. She didn't need to painstakingly guess, and even more so, she didn't need to be careful as she was afraid that she might miss out on any hints, but at the same time, was afraid that she might fall in love with her …

"You wait for me downstairs for a while, I'll go upstairs to say hello to my classmates, then I'll come down to pick up my stuff." Qin Man suddenly said.

Xing Lie regained his senses, looked at the bustling second floor and said: "I'll go with you."

"Are you sure?" Qin Man raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"Fine." Xing Lie made a gesture of surrender, "I think it's best if I stay downstairs and watch the band performance for a while."

Qin Man was a doctorate, her classmates were mostly doctoral professors or the like. Every time they were all gathered together, other than talking about experimental data, they would also talk about previous studies, forcefully turning their reunion into an academic exchange.

Xing Lie had accompanied Qin Man to participate in her reunion once. Everyone was talking, except for him, who seemed to have returned to her student days and painfully listened to a lesson that she could not understand.

It was from then on that Xing Lie suddenly realised that he was actually a shallow witted person.

So, rather than listening to a group of Ph.D. professors, he liked to listen to the band singing the pop songs of the crappy streets downstairs.

The Time Bar was just an ordinary music bar. There was a stage on the first floor and a box on the second.

Not only were the names of the pubs vulgar, but they also had a very vulgar atmosphere, from decorations to musical tastes. It was only because they had a good geographical position that they became one of the most famous pubs in the city.

Xing Lie saw Qin Man up to the second floor and then casually found a seat at the counter, boringly watching the performance on the stage.

A woman wearing black-framed glasses and a mask walked past the edge of the stage. Because of her strange dressing, Xing Lie couldn't help but take another glance at her, but he quickly shifted his gaze away from her in boredom.

This lady dressed in strange attire was Hu Yuefei who came to deliver the hard disk.

She had arranged to meet the person on the phone at the Time Bar today, but the person hadn't arrived yet. Anxiously, she went downstairs to search through the crowd, but she didn't find anyone wearing a dark green shawl.

Since it was a weekend and the bar was filled with people, Hu Yuefei decided to head back to the second floor and continue waiting in the private room.

But when she reached the second floor, she was suddenly slapped on the shoulder by someone behind her. When she turned around, she saw a middle-aged woman wearing a dark green shawl, looking at her curiously.

Hu Yuefei's gaze lingered for a while on the other party's shawl, and asked probingly: "You are … You came here to get the hard drive? "

"What hard drive?" the other asked her doubtfully.

Hu Yuefei realised that she might have recognized the wrong person, and immediately became anxious.

"Sorry, I got the wrong person." She hurriedly left behind an apology before she turned around to leave, but was stopped by the other party.

"You recognized the wrong person, I did not recognize the wrong person, you are the person that appeared at Eden Hotel together with Qin Yu that day, right?" Although the other party was asking Hu Yuefei, her tone was very confident.

Seeing that Hu Yuefei had suddenly become alert, the other party chuckled and said: "Relax, I have no ill intentions towards you, I am Qin Yu's second aunt, I am just concerned about the situation with him."

"Second Aunt?" Hu Yuefei sized up Yan Huizhu who was in front of him, and was extremely surprised to meet the Qin family members here.

In fact, Yan Huizhu coming to the Time Bar today was purely a coincidence.

She had received a client today who was the daughter of a consortium who had come to negotiate a contract in place of her father.

Although the other party was very young, she was as slippery as a mudfish at the negotiating table. She was not easy to deal with and the negotiation had reached a stalemate. In order to build a closer relationship with the other party and successfully sign the contract, Yan Huizhu had spent the entire night with him.

However, who knew that the other side was a young man who didn't play according to the rules. After the two of them had dinner together, the young man saw that there was a nearby bar, so he insisted on going in and having a good time.

Yan Huizhu usually only went in and out of the high class clubhouse, and didn't really like this kind of ordinary bar. But since the young people liked it a lot, she could only bite the bullet and go there.

However, she was still old and couldn't bear the liveliness. After accompanying the young man for a while, she left her two secretaries behind and found an excuse to leave early.

But unexpectedly, the moment they left the private room, they bumped into Hu Yuefei.

Although it was her first time seeing Hu Yuefei, she had already seen the picture of Hu Yuefei together with him in the Garden of Eden long ago.

Because Hu Yuefei looked almost the same as Lin Xi, she immediately remembered her appearance.

Qin Yu used to like Lin Xi a lot, but now that Hu Yuefei had the same face as him, it was no wonder that Qin Yu wanted to break the engagement with him.

Because of what happened in the Qin’s during the new year, Yan Huizhu did not like Bai Nianxi at all. Originally, she did not think much of Hu Yuefei's birth, but when the two sides were compared, she actually felt that Hu Yuefei was much more pleasing to the eye.

Of course, if Hu Yuefei could be used by her, it would be even better if she could help her monitor Qin Yu …

This was also the reason why she stopped Hu Yuefei.

Yan Huizhu quickly thought of a way to coerce and tempt Hu Yuefei so that she would obediently submit to him.

But before she could say anything, Hu Yuefei had already completely ignored her. She circled around her and said, "I'm sorry, I still have other things to do. We can talk another day."

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Yan Huizhu did not even have the time to say what she wanted to say, they had already returned to her stomach. She looked at Hu Yuefei's leaving figure, frowned her brows, and thought for a while, then quietly followed him.
