Zhao Mengran looked at Liu Chen with a surprised expression, tapped his arm and asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Chen turned his head to Zhao Mengran and smiled without speaking.

Waiting for the cashier to pack the two handbags separately, Liu Chen swiped the card to pay, and walked towards the door with the two packed LV handbags, "Let's go." ”

Zhao Mengran followed and walked out, his mind still immersed in the situation that Liu Chen inexplicably bought an extra bag.

came to a row of rest areas not far from the entrance of the store, where Liu Chen sat down, and Zhao Mengran also sat down opposite Liu Chen.

Just as Zhao Mengran was about to ask Liu Chen to buy one more bag, Liu Chen pushed the bag he bought later in front of Zhao Mengran and said, "This bag is for you." ”

"Give it to me???" Zhao Mengran didn't slow down for a while, and a surprised look appeared on his face.

"Yes, thank you for helping me. Liu Chen explained the reason why he gave Zhao Mengran a gift.

Zhao Mengran waved his hand and said, "Oh, in fact, no, you don't need to thank me, and you don't need to buy me such an expensive bag, so let's return it." After speaking, he pushed the bag in front of him back to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen pushed it in front of Zhao Mengran again, "I bought it all, how embarrassing it is to return it, you can accept it." ”

"No, no, really. ”

"If you don't take it, I don't need your help. ”

After repeated excuses, Liu Chen insisted on giving this bag to Zhao Mengran, but Zhao Mengran couldn't resist Liu Chen, so he could only accept it, "Thank you for giving me such a valuable gift." ”

Liu Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Hehe, this gift is not worth mentioning compared to your help to me." ”

Zhao Mengran carefully put away the bag that Liu Chen gave her and put it aside, lowered her head and smiled happily, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "Eh, by the way, how do you know that I like this color?"

Liu Chen explained with a smile: "The color is the same as the shoulder bag in your hand, and when you chose it before, you stood in front of this bag for a while, so I think this bag should be your favorite." ”

"You're really good at observing people. Zhao Mengran couldn't help but admire.

"As long as you have the heart, these are not difficult to find. Liu Chen smiled meaningfully.

may be due to the fact that this shopping mall is too big, and the integration of shopping, entertainment and catering can all be realized here, and under the leadership of Zhao Mengran, Liu Chen also had a lot of fun.

He usually doesn't have this habit, even if he goes to the mall with Li Rongfei, he only shops and eats, and hardly spends his time having fun, unless it's with a few of his good brothers.

This time in the Dream House Shopping Mall, Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran played billiards, bowling, bumper cars, and archery...... These entertainment activities are not very elegant, but Zhao Mengran is particularly high-grade to play, Liu Chen has never seen Zhao Mengran so presumptuous and devoted to playing, if you don't know her, you will definitely not think that she is a reporter, but a girl who is born in a strict family but is eager to have fun freely, and she plays crazy.

"You know what? I've never had this much fun growing up. Zhao Mengran sat on the stone steps, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, sucking and sighing.

Liu Chen gently opened the pull ring of his can, put it on his fingers and took it out, as if he was playing with something, he turned his face to look at Zhao Mengran who was smiling, and saw the helplessness and sadness hidden behind the smile.

As the head of the largest newspaper in Jiangxia, as the eldest lady from an official family, how many people envy the family background, under such a glamorous appearance, it is a shell that is imprisoned in freedom and ideals, everyone has their own unspeakable secrets, everyone has their own happiness and sorrow, maybe the life you have for granted is what you envy the people you envy, cherish what you have.

After a sigh of life, Liu Chen lowered his head and blinked, raised his head and took a sip of Coke, and said: "You can go out and play more in the future, life is always greater than work, don't let work occupy too much of your life." ”

Zhao Mengran held the milk tea in both hands, looked up at the sky, and imagined the dream he had had: "I also thought about quitting my job, and then, like those characters in the novel, wandering the world alone, wandering in every corner of the world full of stories." ”

Liu Chen understood Zhao Mengran's mood very well at the moment, his eyes were attracted by several shining "dream homes" on the top of the shopping mall, and he couldn't help but smile: "In fact, your current work can see your ideals, but you can't touch the deepest part of your dreams, now that I think about it, the name of this shopping mall is quite appropriate, Dream Home, at least to a certain extent, realize your dreams, let you feel the joy of life." ”

Zhao Mengran seemed to want to correct Liu Chen's words, but she was afraid of misunderstanding the other party's intentions, she hesitated for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at Liu Chen, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "I had a good time today, partly because of the entertainment here, and partly because of someone to accompany me, just like I once wanted to go to see the world alone, but a person's trip is always lonely and lonely, and my character is quite afraid of loneliness." ”

Liu Chen unconsciously looked at Zhao Mengran, the eyes of the two met together, Liu Chen immediately turned his head, dodged Zhao Mengran's gaze, stayed for almost ten seconds, and suddenly said: "If you want to find someone to play with, you can find me at any time." ”

Zhao Mengran was also surprised by Liu Chen's words for a moment, and judged and guessed this sentence in her thoughts, and after getting close to her own mind, she opened her mouth and carefully reminded: "But...... But you already have a fiancée, she'll ......"

Liu Chen smiled lightly, he had already prepared, he shook his head and said: "She won't know, besides, I will pay attention to proportion, I ......"

"Let's talk about it later, I don't have many opportunities to go out anyway, but when I want to go out and play one day, I will think of you first. Zhao Mengran suddenly interrupted Liu Chen's unfinished words, perhaps a little scared in his heart, afraid that Liu Chen would say something he didn't want to hear, so he took the initiative to label this promise.

The two looked at each other again, looking at each other, almost opening their hearts, but the human heart is complex and fickle, no one can fully grasp the sincerity of the other, both of them are smart people, they don't waste time guessing, or imposing their intentions on each other, give each other an understanding smile, and then withdraw their gaze.

One was silently drinking Coke, and the other was smoking milk tea, like two completely unrelated people, sitting on the same steps, as if destined for each other.

"Hungry or not, please have dinner. Zhao Mengran was the first to break the silence and gently pinched his milk tea cup and asked.

"Well, it's okay, not very hungry. Liu Chen put down the Coke can that he had already drunk and replied with a smile.

Zhao Mengran stood up, patted the dust on her buttocks, picked up the handbag that Liu Chen gave her, walked in front of Liu Chen, and said with a smile: "I'll invite you to eat steak, and you won't have a stomach." ”

Liu Chen looked at the time, and it was indeed time for dinner, so he stood up and agreed, "Okay." ”

So Zhao Mengran recommended the most upscale western restaurant in the Dream House shopping mall to eat.

Just as the two of them were walking towards the seventh floor of the mall, Liu Chen received a call from Qin Si, and he picked it up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Si asked softly, "Have you finished your business?"

Liu Chen replied briefly: "Not yet, it will be evening." ”

"So where are you now, let's eat together, I made a dinner with my own hands. Qin Si's voice on the phone became very sweet and full of anticipation.

Liu Chen suddenly stopped, his heart was touched, he looked at Zhao Mengran who was walking in front with an embarrassed face, hesitating how to reply to Qin Si, to be precise, how to respond to Qin Si's heart, after all, the chairman of a group company personally cooks for himself, this opportunity is not common, and this intention is even more indestructible, but the reality cannot make this ending perfect, Liu Chen is entangled in how to face it.

Confessing or lying will have a completely different meaning, but one thing will not change, that is, Qin Si's intention is destined to be lost, can Liu Chen take the initiative to destroy this intention?

Zhao Mengran saw Liu Chen's hesitant appearance with the phone in his hand, and walked over to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Chen glanced at Zhao Mengran in a panic, afraid that Qin Si on the phone would hear Zhao Mengran's voice, because girls like to think cranky, he was afraid that Qin Si would misunderstand, and any explanation would only bring more harm at that time.

Just imagine, you are full of anticipation to prepare a dinner for a man, and that man is with another woman, the damage caused by this kind of crit is huge, even if Liu Chen didn't mean it, the emotional matter is most afraid that he has no intention, the other party has a heart, and there will always be a person who will become a victim of wishful thinking.

In order to prevent Zhao Mengran's voice from being heard by Qin Si, Liu Chen hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm meeting an important person, I won't eat dinner, and I'll call you back later." After speaking, he didn't give Qin Si time to react, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Hanging up the phone, Liu Chen put away his mobile phone and walked towards Zhao Mengran with a smile, "It's okay, a sales call." ”

"Oh. Zhao Mengran nodded, turned around and continued to walk towards the western restaurant on the seventh floor, "It's just ahead, it's almost there." ”

Soon the two came to the most upscale western restaurant in the mall, from the appearance, except for the names and logos of the more atmospheric, there is no high-end, and the provincial city or even the ordinary western restaurant under the river is no different, but when they walked in, they found that this western restaurant is very, very large, with a feeling of 200 square meters, and it is very lively.
