Later, the two also chatted about some other things in life and work, as well as their respective families, and talked a lot. One is a boss, the other is a reporter, both of them are busy people, and this time they rarely have time to sit down and talk for so long, talk so deeply, like confidants to exchange each other's views on the world.

Liu Chen obviously felt the difference when chatting with Qin Si and Ji Linyuan during the chat with Zhao Mengran, without the restraint of being afraid of touching the sensitive part of the other party's heart, chatting with Zhao Mengran, saying whatever he wanted, without taking too much into account, it was the expression of their true temperament.

This feeling is familiar, and it seems like it has been too long gone, and when I think about it, I have experienced it in Ouyang Lan's body.

After chatting in the tea room for a few hours, and the tea was turned twice, Zhao Mengran thought that it was still early, so he proposed: "It's rare that you have a free day, and you came to the provincial capital, I invite you to play, how about it?"

Liu Chen thought that he had nothing else to do in the afternoon, so he readily agreed: "Okay, where are you going to play?"

Zhao Mengran seemed to have been prepared, and said without thinking: "Let's go to the mall, it just happens that there are some things at home, you can also buy some gifts for your daughter...... Your fiancée. ”

Liu Chen happily agreed: "Okay, this is a good proposal. ”

Zhao Mengran turned off the switch on the boiling water, cleaned up the tea table, then picked up his bag, got up and put on his coat, "Let's go, I'll take you to the largest shopping mall in the provincial capital." ”

Liu Chen followed Zhao Mengran out of the teahouse, and in the parking lot, Liu Chen invited Zhao Mengran to take his own car, "Take my car, it's a waste to drive two cars." ”

Zhao Mengran got into the co-pilot of Liu Chen's car, fastened his seat belt, and reminded: "You drive slowly." ”

She still remembers the first time she sat in Liu Chen's car, Liu Chen's driving skills were very fast, which scared Zhao Mengran a lot, and now she knows that Liu Chen's driving skills are very good, but she still has lingering palpitations.

Liu Chen smiled and stretched out an OK gesture, and then skillfully operated the car, and the car quickly drove forward and backward and left and right flexibly according to Liu Chen's thoughts, heading towards the city center.

Although Zhao Mengran works in Jiangxia, she is a native of the provincial capital, and she is extremely familiar with every corner of the provincial capital.

This time I went to the city with Liu Chen, and sure enough, I still encountered a traffic jam, Zhao Mengran glanced at the congestion area with no end in sight, and immediately asked Liu Chen to turn around and leave, and went around a farther road to the destination, although the route was farther, but it was also smoother, so there was no loss in time, but it arrived ten minutes faster than the original plan.

Zhao Mengran took Liu Chen to the destination of the Dream House Shopping Mall in the city center, this shopping mall is the largest shopping mall in the provincial capital, and it can also be said to be the largest shopping mall in Shuangjiang Province, with a total of ten floors, covering an area of about 10,000 square meters including the invisible area of the periphery, which is a super-large comprehensive shopping mall.

The shopping mall has a total of 10 floors, with two underground floors, two underground floors for warehouses, and one to seven floors for various subdivisions of stores, including clothing, food, housing and transportation. The eighth and ninth floors are large baths and leisure and entertainment venues, and the tenth floor is a meeting place in the business district. However, the mall is most famous for its circular parking lot next to the mall, rather than a ten-storey spiral building.

The circular three-dimensional parking lot because the shape resembles the Colosseum of ancient Rome, has attracted countless customers to take a group photo, if you overlook the entire circular three-dimensional parking lot in mid-air, the dense cars are like the crowd of onlookers in ancient Rome, the difference is that the middle of this parking lot is not a cruel and barbaric Colosseum, but a green grassy football field.

This mall is too big, Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran are two completely inconspicuous customers, and they walked into the mall side by side.

The two of them came to the first floor, looked up at this tall mall, and couldn't help but sigh that its design is not directly rising from the ground, but spiraling, even if it is not a mall, this is a building with great artistic value.

The first floor is mainly a café and other casual drink bars, and after drinking tea for a few hours, there is no desire to drink anything, and they continue to walk to the second floor.

On the second floor, there are some food and snack bars, various fried barbecues, fragrant cake shops, beautifully packaged candy shops, and antique wine-stuffed rice balls.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhao Mengran looked at the various gluttonous snacks and couldn't help but run over to take a look.

"I'm casual. Liu Chen said to Zhao Mengran's back, he was not more interested in eating, but in the artistic architectural style here, even the stairs are designed to be very three-dimensional, and the carving on the handrail is also a work of art.

Just as Liu Chen was fascinated, a piece of cake appeared in front of Liu Chen, and the thick milk fragrance wafted into Liu Chen's nose.

"Here, it's yours. Zhao Mengran handed the cake in his hand to Liu Chen and said with a smile.

Liu Chen was awakened by this irresistible fragrance, only to find that he was indeed a little hungry, and he hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food at Qin Si's side at noon and came out.

"Thank you. Liu Chen took the fragrant cake in Zhao Mengran's hand and took a bite gently, "It's delicious." He took a few bites, and it was so delicious that he devoured it and choked on it.

Seeing this, Zhao Mengran immediately handed a bottle of water in his hand to Liu Chen, and advised, "Eat slowly and drink saliva." ”

Liu Chen didn't think much about it, so he took Zhao Mengran's water and drank it a few times, and after choking a few sips, it finally cleared.

"Thank you. Liu Chen wanted to return the water in his hand to Zhao Mengran, but suddenly realized that he had already drunk it, and he was not, and if he didn't return it, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Zhao Mengran saw Liu Chen's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "You can take this bottle of water and drink it." ”

"Oh yes, hehe, thank you. Liu Chen said with gratitude.

At this time, they didn't know that in a corner of the third floor, the camera head of a black hole had already been secretly pointed at this side.

The third floor is a shoe and clothing store, a variety of brand ** stores, Nike, Adi, GUCCI, LV, Chanel...... It is said that more than half of the current international famous brands are settled here, and it is the favorite shopping mall for those rich second generations, especially girls, who can buy international famous brands at their own doorstep without leaving home.

Although Zhao Mengran is not a girl who likes to dress up with various famous brands, Liu Chen still can't help but look at those exquisite bags, lipsticks of various colors, and crystal clear perfumes, this is the nature of girls, and they care more about visual enjoyment.

The two came to the LV** store, and Liu Chen, out of politeness and gratitude, said to Zhao Mengran: "You choose a bag, and I will give it to you." ”

When Zhao Mengran heard that Liu Chen was going to give her a bag, and it was also a LV luxury bag, she was excited for a while, but after thinking about it, Liu Chen was already a man with a fiancée, and it didn't seem appropriate to give her a bag, and a touch of regret and loss swept over her face.

Seeing that Zhao Mengran didn't react, Liu Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Mengran shook his head and politely rejected Liu Chen's kindness, and said, "No, you should buy a bag for your fiancée, she will definitely be very happy." ”

"Uh, hehe, is it?" Liu Chen squeezed his hands unconsciously, wanting to dissolve the awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Mengran took advantage of this topic and suggested: "Girls like bags, so it's better to take this opportunity and buy one for her." ”

Liu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I don't know much about this bag, why don't you help me choose one?"

"Yes. With that, Zhao Mengran walked into the LV** store, and Liu Chen followed closely behind.

LV** store not only handbags, but also a variety of accessories, leather goods, ready-to-wear, shoes, etc., the huge ** store is full of goods, dazzling, under the illumination of glass doors and lights, the temperament of the whole ** store is very noble, in it, it is indeed a rare enjoyment.

Zhao Mengran was like choosing a gift for herself, carefully choosing, and asked Liu Chen about Li Rongfei's preferences while choosing, "What color does your fiancée like?"

"Just be elegant. ”

Zhao Mengran picked a bag that was very close to Li Rongfei's temperament described by Liu Chen, took it to Liu Chen and asked, "What do you think of this bag?"

Liu Chen looked at it: "It's beautiful, you have a good eye." ”

Zhao Mengran smiled embarrassedly: "It's still according to your preference, it's this bag worthy of your fiancée, hehe." ”

After the two of them selected, they went to the counter to check out, and the cashier scanned the code for the handbag to check out, and said: "Sir, this bag matches your girlfriend's temperament very well, our store is now engaged in activities, if you and your girlfriend do a couple membership card, you can enjoy a 20% discount on anything you buy later." ”

The cashier said very festively and happily, but it made Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran fall into embarrassment at the same time, Zhao Mengran glanced at Liu Chen and hurriedly explained: "We are not a couple, hehe." ”

The cashier hurriedly changed his words and asked, "Oh, hehe, I'm sorry, then you bought this bag, Miss?"

Zhao Mengran pointed to Liu Chen on the side and said, "He bought it for his fiancée, I just helped him choose it, hehe." ”

"Oooh. Seeing that he had misunderstood the situation, the cashier hurriedly shut up and concentrated on packing the bag in his hand, and stopped doing any more sales.

Just as Zhao Mengran was watching the cashier packing, Liu Chen suddenly walked to the shelf, reached out and took another LV bag, walked to the cashier and said to the cashier, "Help me pack this too." ”

"Oh okay, can we buy it together?" asked the cashier as he reached out and picked up the bag Liu Chen had brought over.

"Yes. Liu Chen nodded.
