Chapter 37: Unexpectedly Broken Appointment
For a moment, there was silence, and both of them were a little embarrassed. The smile on the corner of Qiao Yixia's mouth became more and more obvious, and her bright big eyes looked at Luxi's deep and lowered eyes, and said, "Thank you, I'm very happy." ”
Lu Xifei coughed embarrassedly, now, this ambiguous atmosphere made her very uncomfortable, she took off her coat and returned it to Qiao Yixia: "Okay, return the clothes to you, I'll leave first, you can accompany your mother today." ”
Looking at Lu Xifei's back as she gradually moved away, Qiao Yixia's expression became stern, and the coat in her arms seemed to still have the temperature on Lu Xifei's body.
At about four o'clock in the morning, Qiao Yixia made sure that her mother was okay and left the hospital and rushed back to the road house. Today, she wants to make a hearty breakfast for Luci herself. After honing, her omelettes are getting better and better, and not only that, but the fried ham sausage is also fried in a decent way, and there are patterns cut with a knife on it, which is very delicate, and the appearance is very good. She searched the Internet for a tutorial on making preserved egg and lean porridge, and it didn't seem to be too difficult, but the first time she did it, she didn't know if it would be delicious, and it would not suit Lu Xifei's appetite.
However, Luci's reaction still satisfied her after all.
"Not bad." At the dining table, Lu Xifei said while drinking porridge that in the past, she had to drink milk for breakfast, but today she only drank porridge as an exception, "The child can be taught." ”
"Did you teach me anything? All you know is mocking me. Qiao Yixia's voice sounded dissatisfied, but it was full of coquettishness, "It's me who is self-taught." ”
"Self-taught idiots."
Qiao Yixia stared at her a few times, and Lu Xifei was a little uncomfortable by her, and said, "What are you staring at me for?" Awkward is not embarrassing. ”
Qiao Yixia took out a tissue, got up slightly, bent over the dining table, and reached out to gently help her wipe off the rice grains standing at the corners of her mouth: "How can a person who pays so much attention to his image let the rice grains stick to the corners of his mouth." ”
This action was really too intimate, which made Lu Xifei a little embarrassed, and he didn't say anything, lowered his head and drank porridge carefully.
"Lan Lan said that there is a fireworks show in the central square tonight, is Professor Lu interested in going to see it together?" Originally, she wanted to accompany her mother well, but her mother didn't want her to say anything, and the two juniors took turns looking at her all day, saying that they didn't feel comfortable.
"Aren't you working?"
Qiao Yixia shook his head: "I should get off work early today, and the fireworks will start late, so I can catch up." ”
"So, you're inviting me." Lucy asked as she elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Qiao Yixia nodded: "Well, it's a kind." In fact, she just asked casually, with Luci's temperament, she probably didn't want to crowd together with so many people to join in this kind of fun. Originally, Qiao Yixia was also very repulsive, but Lan Xuewu insisted again and again, so she had no choice but to come down.
Luci showed displeasure on her face: "What do you mean?" Yes yes, no yes no. I hate ambiguous answers. ”
Qiao Yixia also put down the small spoon in her hand depressedly, looked at Lu Xifei who was speaking righteously on the other side and said, "Yes, I, Qiao Yixia, sincerely sent an invitation to Professor Lu, but I don't know if Professor Lu is willing to appreciate the light?" ”
"It's not impossible." Lu Xifei's face softened, "Anyway, I'm fine tonight, it's okay to relax." ”
Qiao Yixia raised her eyebrows, and neither of them spoke again. Breakfast time is fleeting. Qiao Yixia packed up the kitchen and hurriedly left the mansion, while Luci returned to her study to prepare for a new day's work, she had accepted the invitation of the principal of Princeton to give a lecture next month. Of course, in addition to her, there were also two giants in the field of psychology, at least in terms of qualifications, who deserved to be her seniors, so she naturally had to prepare well.
After returning to the study, the confined space instantly lost the daylight, and there was a gilded glazed palace lamp hanging on the roof, which was exquisite and gorgeous, very bookish, and the table lamp on the desk was an antique table lamp from the European Renaissance, which was now unavailable on the market.
After sitting down, Luci jumped on the screen of his mobile phone with his fingertips, pressed a line of numbers, and the answer over there was very fast, and it was connected with only one ring.
"I'm not going back tonight. Whatever you think, I can't go back. Besides, I'll get back to you then. Private matters, what does this have to do with you, have you ever cared about my affairs? It doesn't matter, I don't need it anyway. That's it, I still have something to do, I'll get back to it. ”
After hanging up the phone, a trace of imperceptible sorrow flashed in Luci's eyes. And she still adjusted her feelings in the shortest possible time, and concentrated on the next work.
Qiao Yixia is busy with work, and he can't come back at noon, without Qingye, there is only one person left in the huge villa, Lu Xifei is a typical workaholic, and other feelings can be ignored when doing mental work, such as hunger.
On the other hand, Shang Lu followed Ding Yuan for a day, but still didn't find anything abnormal, saying that Ding Yuan returned to Cui Ting's community, sat in the grass and cried alone, and then bought two bottles of Erguotou and cried while drinking, and the people in the community thought he was neurotic, and he was too scared to approach.
"Cui Ting, because she was born beautiful, and she is docile, she is very popular with Jiang Si and the people in their circle, and she is recognized as a courtesan, I checked Cui Ting's private account, in addition to her salary, there is almost a million or so income every month, which is the sum of remittances from different accounts, but those remittance accounts are specially opened for remittance." A man from the Cyber Department said.
Bai Ying shrugged and said: "These women, once they taste a little sweetness, they will fall endlessly, and in the end, they will not pit themselves. However, although these business tycoons have no motive to commit crimes, what about their wives? We can't rule out this suspicion. ”
Cui Ting is almost a public lover, and men don't hate her, but what about these men's women? The battle of the wealthy lady to eradicate the junior has been staged more than once.
"It's still a big possibility." Shi Wei said, "However, we can rule out Mrs. Jiang's suspicion for the time being, because we are not sure whether Mrs. Jiang knows, and we can't go directly to the door to ask, but according to the investigation, this Mrs. Jiang also has a lot of lovers outside." ”
"In other words, the Jiang couple is affectionate on the surface, but in fact their relationship has broken down?" Bai Ying asked.
Shi Wei nodded: "And they are tacitly acquiescent about each other's cheating, showing affection in front of the outside world, they are recognized as a model couple, the two of them take what they need, but they have never thought about divorce, Mrs. Jiang should be accustomed to this kind of thing, and she will not do it." ”
"Hey!" Bai Ying sighed deeply and closed her eyes and crooked on the chair in front of her desk, "This is troublesome. There was no movement on Shang Lu's side, which was really sad. ”
They can be sure that Ding Yuan has a secret in his heart, and this secret is related to Cui Ting, but it is inconvenient to dispatch too many people, so as not to startle the snake.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Xifei, who has always been calm, was a little distracted, from after breakfast to now, she only drank a glass of milk, but she didn't feel hungry, and in the evening, she began to be restless, the unreliable Qiao Yixia, obviously made an appointment to watch the fireworks, but now there is no news. Lu Xifei has already checked, the fireworks will start at nine o'clock, and it will take half an hour to get to the central square from here.
As soon as she picked up her phone, Lu Xifei put it down again: "Why am I so breathless, it is her misfortune to lose the opportunity to date me." ”
Just thinking about this, the bell rang suddenly, looking at the word Qiao on the screen, Lu Xifei felt a little happy in his heart, but he still waited arrogantly for Qiao Yixia to speak first.
"Professor Lu, I can't go tonight, the person I've been staring at has moved, I have to go immediately. I'm sorry I can't watch the fireworks with you. ”
Although a little disappointed, Luci said, "It's okay. What about your sister. ”
"I told her not to go, but she didn't listen, and now I'll be there by myself, and it won't be long before I'll be back in the apartment."
Thinking that when you arrive at this kind of grand square, there will be abnormal congestion, and there are some people with ulterior motives, Lu Xifei said: "You don't have to worry, I'm okay anyway, I'll go to the central square later." Qiao Yixia over there was silent for a moment, and Lu Xifei only continued, "Needless to say, thank you, work hard, let me see Qiao Yixia's strength." ”
"Okay, Professor Lu, without further ado, I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yixia suddenly felt full of strength. She was worried that Luci would be angry, but she never thought she would be so considerate. She felt more and more that it was the world's incomprehension of Luci that made a person who should have been popular so lonely and unfriendly.
Lucy is wearing a Versace haute couture gray waist-cinching trench coat, a royal blue Chanel scarf with a chic look, waist-length long hair hanging down her waist, in order to facilitate mobility, she rarely wears high heels, but because of her high height, her aura will not be weakened by this. Walking in the huge square, she is more beautiful than the fireworks blooming in the sky, like a beautiful landscape, obviously so low-key, but so beautiful that people can't help but want to take a few more looks.
Lan Xuewu, who was not far away, was huddled in the crowd to watch the man on the stage playing the saxophone, Lu Xifei walked to her side, Lan Xuewu felt a chill, and turned around to find that it was Lu Xifei.
"Sister Fairy is here!" Seeing that it was Lu Xifei, Lan Xuewu was very happy, and grabbed Lu Xifei's arm coquettishly, Lu Xifei felt awkward, but there were too many people and she couldn't break free.
"Look. I'll wait for you on the side. The saxophone wind was very harsh, and the people around her were cheering, huddled in a group of people, and were touched by inexplicable people, and she wanted to take off the trench coat on her body and burn it completely.
Seeing that Lu Xifei was not interested in this, Lan Xuewu also sensibly went out with her: "What does Sister Fairy like to see, I will follow you." ”
"Just call me by my name, don't be so polite." Sister Fairy, always makes her feel like she is dancing.
"Okay, then I'll call Sister Xifei. It's because my sister is beautiful that I can't help but associate with fairies. Lan Xuewu was dressed very cutely, wearing a new Salvatore Ferragamo suit, with a high ponytail, looking low-key, like a girl next door, but Lucy Fei could see at a glance that the version of this dress seemed ordinary, and the price was not ordinary at all.
"Just call me Caroline." Luxi is shallow. The word Xifei is too close, she and Lan Xuewu have only met three times and it is her English name, but in China, there is a feeling of admiring foreign charm in English name, fortunately, the transliteration is not unpleasant.
Lan Xuewu is like a lively rabbit: "My sister even has a good English name." ”
The two walked side by side on a cobblestone path with fewer people, Lan Xuewu looked up at the colorful fireworks in the sky and sighed: "It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that my sister can't see it." I don't know if my sister is done with work, so give her a call and ask her. ”
"Your sister is on a mission at night, she must be nervous now, don't call to disturb her yet." Luci said.
Although Lan Xuewu looked regretful, she obediently stuffed the phone back into the small red leather bag.
