Here's what you have to offer. - Enjoy!

"Miss Lu, please be seated." Xia Yan walked over, personally pulled out a chair for her, and the gentleman invited her to take a seat.

From the time he stood up to the present, what he said and did was taken for granted, Lu Qinglan frowned almost invisibly, looked at Zhong Nian suspiciously, and asked her with her eyes What is going on, didn't she say that she was eating with herself? Why is Xia Yan also there? And also a host's posture?

"Lanlan, you sit down first!" Zhong Nian grabbed Lu Qinglan's arm with a smile and pressed her to the chair, and looked at Xia Yan in the air for a few seconds before explaining, "Actually, it was Xia Yan who invited you to dinner, but he was afraid that he would invite you and not come, so he asked me to do me a favor, anyway, we have to eat together, Xia Yan is not an outsider, right?" ”

She winked mischievously as she spoke, looking particularly playful and cute.

Xia Yan immediately followed her to speak, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I also hope that Miss Lu doesn't blame Zhong Nian, if you think I'm abrupt, I can apologize." ”

"Mr. Xia......" He said so, how could Lu Qinglan really say that he was abrupt, besides, if Xia Yan's apology was known, it was estimated that he would be called arrogant by himself, right?

After a pause, she also raised a decent and polite smile: "Mr. Xia thinks too much, I don't think so." ”

Xia Yan seemed very happy to hear her say this, and immediately followed: "That's good." ”

"Hey, Lanlan, you're the best!" Zhong Nian on the side climbed onto Lu Qinglan's shoulder like a coquettish person when she saw this, she was also relieved, although she didn't know what misunderstanding there was between the two, but since they were both friends, Xia Yan told herself that of course she could help.

Lu Qinglan glared at her, but in exchange for her disgust: "But you have a Miss Lu, Mr. Xia, it's really unfamiliar, it's too polite, I listen to it awkwardly." Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Zhong Nian said very boldly, "Isn't it good to call the name directly?" Politely coming and going doesn't look like our style at all, right? Lu Qinglan, Xia Yan, it's such a happy decision! ”

Lu Qinglan glanced at her speechlessly, in fact, she thought that it was always best to call Xia, but what she didn't expect was that Xia Yan nodded after listening to Zhong Nian's words.

"If you don't mind, just call me Xia Yan, Lu Qinglan, how about it?" After Xia Yan finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds as if he was thinking, but said with a smile, "Calling the name directly, I feel that the distance has been shortened all of a sudden, as if I finally have the feeling of a friend." ”

His words made Lu Qinglan feel that he didn't know how to answer it all of a sudden, so he simply didn't echo it, but changed the topic: "By the way, Nian Nian said Xia...... Xia Yan, please eat, I don't know what is the matter? ”

Almost, she casually called Mr. Xia again.

"That's the case," mentioning this topic, Xia Yan leaned forward slightly, looking serious and sincere, "I want to apologize to you." ”

"Apologize?" Lu Qinglan lifted his eyelids and was very surprised.

"yes." Xia Yan naturally continued, "At yesterday's birthday party, if I could have helped you earlier, maybe Ruan Qing wouldn't have said it so ugly, after all, something like that happened on my venue, and I didn't deal with it in time, you are the guest of honor I invited, but it is my responsibility to let you leave not very happily." I'm sorry, Lu Qinglan. ”

At this moment, Lu Qinglan was not only surprised, but also puzzled.

Xia Yan specially apologized to himself for Ruan Qing's incident yesterday?

Maybe it was because she didn't react for a long time, Xia Yan laughed at herself: "You won't accept my apology, right?" It seems that I was not sincere enough today, and I knew that I should have ......"

"Not really!" Lu Qinglan hurriedly interrupted him, waved his hand, and smiled a little awkwardly, "You don't have to apologize to me, it has nothing to do with you, really." In fact, speaking of which, what happened to Ruan Qing yesterday, I should have said that I was embarrassed, I didn't handle it well, and it seems that I messed up your birthday party. ”

Xia Yan insisted: "But, no matter what, I am responsible, I apologize for today's meal, and I hope you will give me a face, a face, okay?" ”

"I ......" Lu Qinglan was helpless, why didn't he make sense?

Knowing her thoughts, Xia Yan hooked the corners of his lips and said deliberately: "If you don't appreciate your face, it means that I am not sincere enough, and you refuse to forgive me as a friend and partner." ”

…… Why is this man still threatening?

Lu Qinglan sighed helplessly in his heart, met his seemingly stubborn gaze, and finally nodded: "Just eat together, but you really don't have to apologize to me." ”

She will definitely insist on it, if not, she will always feel very uncomfortable eating this meal today. Moreover, she promised Ye Tingshen to keep in touch with Xia Yan as much as possible.

"Okay." Xia Yan glanced at her, and a triumphant smile quickly crossed his eyes.

The most gratifying thing is Zhong Nian.

She happily put her arm around Lu Qinglan and smiled at Xia Yan: "Isn't this good, make it clear what you say, and it should be like this between friends." ”

"Well, so I should thank you even more for helping

I'm doing this so that I don't feel so guilty. Speaking of which, you have always been my lucky star. Xia Yan looked at Zhong Nian dotingly, his eyes full of smiles.

Lu Qinglan just looked up, and he saw the way he looked at Zhong Nian so coincidentally.

In an instant, the scene from the first meeting suddenly popped up, especially ...... At that time, Xia Yan kept looking at Zhong Nian's expression, which was exactly the same as now.

Lu Qinglan finally knew why he felt something was wrong at that time.

It's eyes, Xia Yan looked at Zhong Nian's eyes, as if she was the only one in the world.

And this kind of look is obviously the kind of look that a man looks at a woman he loves.

Don't......

Lu Qinglan didn't think about it anymore, she felt incredible, and at the same time a little ...... I can't tell if I feel uneasy.

"What's polite with me?" Zhong Nian didn't notice the change in Lu Qinglan, stood up and said, "Since the matter is settled, then I'll go to the bathroom first, and you eat first." ”

Xia Yan nodded, never leaving her: "Go, wait for you to come back." ”

Zhong Nian walked far away, Xia Yan retracted his gaze, looked directly at Lu Qinglan honestly, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his faint smile: "I like Zhong Nian, I started six years ago." ”

Straightforwardly, without warning, just threw the words out.

Lu Qinglan was short of words for a moment, and after a while, she regained her composure, and was about to speak, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by Xia Yan again.

"I was able to meet Zhong Nian again in City A this time, you don't know how much it means to me, that night, I was so happy that I didn't fall asleep. I wanted to pursue her, something I had had time to do six years ago, and this time, I didn't want to give myself another chance to regret it. I learned that you are her best friend, doesn't it mean that if you want to chase a girl, the relationship between the people around her must be good, and it will be a plus if necessary, so I want to save the country by becoming your trusted friend first. Speaking of this, his face showed a hint of helplessness and embarrassment at the right time.

After a pause, he continued: "I want to make a good impression in front of you, so that if she comes to ask you for your opinion, it will be a little helpful to me, it may seem too deliberate to you, but...... I'll start by saying I'm sorry. After yesterday's birthday party, Assistant Li told me that someone misunderstood my relationship with you, and I am really sorry for causing you such an impact. ”

By the end, his words were full of apologies.

Lu Qinglan didn't speak immediately, Xia Yan seemed to be sincere, but she always kept in mind what Ye Tingshen said, and she would only choose to believe Ye Tingshen.

It's just that it's now......

A trace of hesitation flashed in her heart, and finally she met Xia Yan's gaze and said seriously: "But I miss that she has a boyfriend, and that person is still my brother, don't you know?" ”

"I know." Xia Yan nodded, a wry smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "It's me who found her too late, but since she hasn't married yet, I still have hope, right?" I will compete fairly, and if it is your brother who can really choose in the end, of course I will let it go and wish her happiness. ”

“……”

There was an instant silence between the two, and neither of them spoke first.

Until—

"One more thing, I think I need to take this opportunity to tell you, I don't want to be misunderstood." Xia Yan smiled again and spoke, "The former secretary of the municipal party committee of City A is a side branch of our Xia family, and I have a good relationship with him, but in the matter of him taking the wrong path, not only me, but our entire Xia family, has no opinion. Maybe Mr. Ye was very wary of my coming to City A this time, but he didn't have to. I make this relationship clear because I think you and I are friends and partners, and trust is very important. ”

He talked about Secretary Xia's affairs lightly, Lu Qinglan stared at him tightly with a pair of eyes, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what he said was true?

It's just that Lu Qinglan is actually very protective, and when Xia Yan mentioned Ye Tingshen just now, he may have no intention, just a sigh, but for her, it will still be a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, she said calmly: "I didn't misunderstand, in fact, who you have and what is the relationship, there is really no need to say it so clearly, I don't think it will affect our cooperation." ”

Hearing her words, Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows, as if agreeing: "Yes." ”

He really underestimated Ye Tingshen's woman, and he could speak so well.

Thinking of Ye Tingshen, the corners of Xia Yan's mouth imperceptibly evoked a sneer.

As soon as the topic ended, silence spread again until Zhong Nian returned.

In the later meals, it was basically Xia Yan talking to Zhong Nian, and Lu Qinglan occasionally said a word.

An hour later, it was finally over.

Lu Qinglan felt relaxed and complicated in her heart, Zhong Nian sent her back to the magazine, and along the way, she didn't know whether she should tell Zhong Nian about those two things.

After getting out of the car, she shook her head, forget it, don't think about it yet.

Lu Qinglan walked to the door of her office and found that someone was waiting for her.
