Chapter 74: Things are going to change
Li Jiu raised his eyes and met a pair of gentle and deep eyes, like a vast ocean, calm and deep, inclusive of all things.
“Ah...it’s okay.”
The man is in his forties or fifties, but he is well-maintained. He is wearing a white sweater and looks like he is in his early thirties.
She has a gentle aura all over her body, making it easy for people to get close to her.
With an apology in his eyes, he said: "Sorry, I didn't see you."
Li Jiu didn’t care either, “I didn’t pay much attention to the road.”
The man smiled and asked, "Are you here to buy desserts?"
Li Jiu nodded, "But it's already sold out."
The man glanced at the counter in the distance and suddenly said: "What do you want to eat?"
"ah?"
The man said: "I am the owner of this dessert shop. Whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you."
Li Jiu was stunned.
She looked around, somewhat disbelieving that the boss behind such a warm and pink dessert shop could be such a person.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the man continued: "Just think of it as an apology."
Li Jiu thought for a while and asked, "Can mango thousand layers be okay?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
The midday sun shines through the window and falls on the table.
Li Jiu chose a seat by the window and quietly ate mango thousand layers.
“Is it delicious?” the man asked.
Li Jiu pursed her red lips and said, "It's delicious."
She asked again: "How did you come up with the idea of opening this dessert shop?"
The temperament of this man's gestures and gestures is obviously the kind of demeanor that can only be cultivated by a famous family, and is immersed in his bones.
Go to this busy street and open an internet celebrity dessert shop.
It really doesn’t suit his temperament.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. He looked at the passers-by outside through the glass.
His eyes were soft and distant, not knowing who he was missing, and he murmured: "My wife loves desserts."
After speaking, he looked at Li Jiu again and said, "My son also likes to eat."
Li Jiu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.
She smiled and said: "Your wife must be very happy."
Speaking of this, the smile at the corner of the man's mouth faded, and his eyes could not hide the sadness, "She has passed away."
Li Jiu was startled, and then said: "I'm sorry."
He shook his head, "It's okay."
"The dead have passed away, but the living will continue."
The tone was very calm, but there was an indelible pain hidden deep in his eyes.
Li Jiu felt that he must be a person with a story.
But she is not interested in other people's stories. I chatted with the man for a while, and after eating the mango thousand layers, I stood up and left.
Before leaving, the man waved to her with a gentle smile on his face.
Li Jiu was in a trance, feeling that he looked familiar inexplicably.
But I couldn’t remember where I had seen him, so I didn’t think much about it.
The phone buzzed.
"Hello?"
“boss.”
An elegant and low voice came from the other end of the phone, with a tone of grievance and flattery.
Li Jiu raised her eyebrows lightly and asked, "Are you having fun abroad?"
The other party paused for a few seconds, then quickly explained: "No! Boss, I came here to discuss cooperation, not to play!"
Li Jiu didn’t believe his nonsense and snorted: “Really?”
“Yes, boss, I have been working as a cow and a horse for you for so many years, but you still don’t understand me?”
Li Jiu said: "But I feel like I don't have your subordinates who understand you."
…”
“I heard from people in the company that you, the CEO, left your job and went abroad to escape.”
There was a faint sound of grinding teeth on the other end of the phone.
Hello you bastards!
How dare you spread rumors about him when he is not here?
“boss…”
The man's voice was even more aggrieved.
“I’m really here to talk about cooperation, but this guy!”
The man was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.
“This guy is not doing his job properly. He sunbathes and picks up girls all day long. I have no choice but to follow him.”
Li Jiu asked: "Follow us?"
“...What if? What if he runs away?”
"Ah!"
Boss Li gave him a sneer without any surprise.
…” Feeling a little flustered.
There was a long silence, which made the man a little confused.
Is this...angry or not?
Li Jiu suddenly said: "Since you are there, keep an eye on me. It's not peaceful recently."
Speaking of this, the man laughed out loud: "Boss, it's not just uneventful, it's going to turn upside down."
I heard a little cutie asking who the male protagonist was.
I:…
Third Master: I have no sense of existence?
Well, it seems that I have to add drama to Third Master
