There was a long silence.

Li Ai looked at the cup of fragrant coffee in front of him, as if he saw the shadow of Lin He from it. Li Xingpeng, who was sitting opposite, felt that he was guilty even if he moved, so he could only look at Lili Ai in a daze.

Finally, the wall clock on the wall next to the two of them made a crisp chime, pulling the silent two back to reality. The coffee in the cup is already cold, and I can no longer smell that refreshing aroma.

"Brother Xingpeng!"

"Hmm!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, a few years ago, when Uncle Lin was killed, I knew that there was no possibility between me and Lin He. I am the heir to the empire. In the choice between the negative one or the subjects of the whole empire. I'm sorry I chose the latter. ”

It seems to say it to himself, and it seems to say it to Li Xingpeng opposite. It's better to say it to that bastard thousands of miles away.

"Brother Xingpeng, am I a bad girl, I betrayed the love that belongs between me and him!" After saying these words, Lili Ai's whole person was obviously much more relaxed. Although the whole person was even more sad, when Li Xingpeng knew that the girl had made a choice.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Standing up, he gave the most standard military salute to the girl who was sitting.

"Brother Xingpeng, sit down, I can't call you like that when I go out."

"Lin He, he ........!" Li Xingpeng, who sat down, planned to tell the girl in front of him everything he knew about Lin He. As for the rest, let's die, I can't care so much.

"Brother Xingpeng!" stretched out his hand to interrupt what Li Xingpeng was about to say later. "I just want to know if Brother Lin He is happy and safe. For the rest, just leave me an expectation! ”

"Lin He, he is fine, he has recovered from the blow of Uncle Lin Tian's death. And if nothing else, he will definitely be the second Uncle Lin Tian in the future, and he will stand behind His Highness as before. ”

"Well, Brother Xingpeng, I'll go first, thank you!"

"No thanks, Ah Li. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to tell me. He's not with you, and as a big brother, you can trust me just as much! ”

"Well, Brother Xingpeng, I also treat you as a big brother!"

Standing up, and with a gentle court salute, the girl disappeared at the door of the box like a beating elf.

Sit down and pour another cup of coffee into your coffee cup, letting the familiar aroma continue to waft around you. Li Xingpeng, who put down the big stone in his heart, felt that he was really tasting the taste of coffee now.

Ten minutes later, when Li Xingpeng wanted to bring himself a cup again, there was no longer a drop in the small coffee pot in front of him.

Premium, even the amount of coffee is calculated, four cups, just four cups. One cup is not much, one cup is not less. That's drinking coffee, that's drinking gold. If you don't say that the aristocracy is the aristocracy, this level of consumption is really not something that ordinary people can consume.

Director Li Xingpeng, who returned to the secular society, remembered that it was time for him to go back to work at this time. Although an officer of his level does not need to sit in the office on time, since he is a senior officer of the empire, Li Xingpeng feels that he should have the consciousness of a senior officer.

Opening the wooden door of the box, the senior who was in a hurry to go to work walked quickly towards the door.

"Sir, please wait a minute, please settle the cost of your box!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to go to work in a hurry, how much!" What, the girl didn't pay for it, and the dignified virgin was stupid, how could this kid be like this. Pit people don't bring such pits, don't you know how much your salary is a month.

"Twelve gold coins in total, sir!"

"Oh. Good! He reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, and opened it to see only a pitiful gold coin, and a few silver coins. This is already all his belongings.

"That!"

"It's okay sir, if it's inconvenient for you, you can sign an order!" may have seen the difficulties of the director, and immediately reminded this unlucky guy very enthusiastically that it doesn't matter if you don't have money, just sign an order and return it when you are free.

After a short time, the embarrassed director, under the envoy's bent down and insisted on saying goodbye, got into the carriage waiting beside him.

This girl definitely did it on purpose!

Director Li Xingpeng, who returned to the office, sat behind his desk irritably under the gaze of Adjutant Lina. As a result, Lina handed over the cup of water and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"My lord, I just sent an official letter from the minister's office, asking you to report next Monday!"

"Oh. Got it! ”

"Well, my lord, congratulations!"

Although she congratulated herself on being promoted again, she could still see the girl's lost expression. instantly understood the reason why his adjutant was sad,

According to the general appointment arrangement, senior officers like themselves who are promoted by skipping ranks are generally appointed separately as their adjutants. After all, the promotion of skipping the level is only for the person who is promoted. Considering the working environment and the level required, the previous adjutant was indeed not qualified for the higher-level job requirements.

"Lina, if you want to remain my adjutant, I can help you figure it out. Also, I think you're a competent adjutant! ”

"Really? Then you're in for trouble! ”

If it's really like what this scumbag said, he can be regarded as a high promotion. Although I don't care too much about job promotion, if I reassign it to other officers, it is basically certain that they are all greasy uncles in their forties and fifties.

Soak in these old men all day, what fun is there? You know, although his current chief is a little scumbag, at least he is quite handsome, but I don't know if he has a girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Adjutant Lina's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and her cheeks were flushed with blushe.

"Ahem, ahem, that Lina?"

"What's wrong, sir?" The girl's face turned redder.

"Well, can you lend me some if you have the money?" Li Xingpeng's face also turned red, and he felt that his request was really a bit excessive, and the dignified elder robbed his subordinates.

"What?" Lina was also surprised, and subconsciously wanted to confirm again!

"Well, do you have any money, can you lend me a little first!"

"I don't know how much you need, Lord?" That's right, hear clearly, this scumbag borrows money from himself again. But for some reason, I was so happy.

"Twelve gold coins, do you have them?" As soon as Li Xingpeng said this, he regretted it a little. Twelve gold coins is a huge amount of money for herself, and even more for a girl who has just worked.

"Is the chief man tearing down the café?"

"No, do you know, Lina, this guy from the princess actually escaped the bill, obviously she was the one who invited the guests, but let me pay for it!"

"Ah, isn't it normal for a chief to know that men pay the bills?"

"Ah, I don't know!"
