Chapter 1: Blind dates
At 8 p.m., the century-old Seongnam restaurant is overcrowded.
In the lobby, several waiters secretly looked at the figure sitting in the corner and whispered: "She only needs a drink for so long, does she order food?" β
"I went to ask half an hour ago, and the person she was waiting for hasn't arrived yet."
"It's been too long. Is she really here for dinner? Or is it a fake celebrity to pose for a photo? β
As they spoke, they looked into the corner again.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the long-haired girl was wearing the new dress of the L family that was in the season, facing out of the window sideways, and she looked dressed in her twenties. From their angle, they could only vaguely see the side of her face, but the diamond table on her wrist on the side of her face was so eye-catching that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
In the corner, Lin Xi looked down at the time again, frowning slightly.
She just returned to China last night and was temporarily called on a blind date.
A full hour has passed since the time agreed with the blind date.
No matter how patient she is, she can't sit down at this time.
Just as I was about to get up, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the store. Lin Xi didn't care too much, lowered his head and took out his wallet. She had just ordered a drink and hadn't paid for it yet.
Looking up casually, I found that the woman who came in was wearing a dress of the same style as hers. In the next second, the woman tilted her head slightly, and after seeing the other party's facial features clearly, Lin Xi's breathing stagnated.
Qin Yu's fiancΓ©e!
If she is here, then Qinyu ......
Moving his stiff neck, Lin Xi's eyes fell on the door, and sure enough, he saw the familiar figure surrounded by everyone.
The man is dressed in a haute couture suit, showing off his luxury. Visually, it should be more than 185, with broad shoulders and narrow waist and a well-proportioned figure. In stark contrast to the bloated boss around him. From her angle, only the side face of his jawline can be seen.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but her gaze couldn't control her following the other party until he disappeared around the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
"That's Qin Yu?!"
"Who?"
"Qin Yu, the investment banker, LX Capital was founded by him. At least three commonly used apps in your phone are all projects invested by their company. It's the first time I've seen him in Beijing for so many years! β
"So young? He looks like twenty-five, right? β
"How is it possible, to say the least, it has to be more than thirty, how many years has the company been."
The guests at the table next to him were discussing Qin Yu's age fiercely.
Lin Xi was still in a trance, and replied without going through his brain: "He is not yet twenty-nine." β
"Won't it?" The guest next to her looked up and looked at her in surprise: "What is your relationship with him?" Know? β
Lin Xi was stunned by the question.
She and Qin Yu grew up in the same compound. Her brother is the eldest brother of these juniors, and she is the eldest. According to her age, she has to call Qin Yu the third brother.
She was seventeen years old when she went abroad, and Qin Yu was twenty-one. His birthday was in November, and he is indeed only twenty-eight years old.
Relationship...... That's all.
"I don't know." She shrugged and smiled, "I heard what others said. β
After paying the bill, she walked out as if she were running away, and bumped into a young man head-on. The other party's eyes lit up when they saw her.
"Lin Xi, is it? I've seen your photos, I'm Lubei! β
The boy in front of him was wearing black-framed glasses, his face was slightly green, and he was also wearing an Armani black suit, but the texture was too different from Qin Yu's just now. Wearing it on him, there is a sense of pretending to be mature.
Retracting his gaze, Lin Xi nodded expressionlessly, "It's me." β
Lu Bei smiled shyly, reacted and quickly apologized:
"That's right, I was about to arrive, but I suddenly received a call from the leader on the way, so I went back to deal with the work matter."
Lin Xi didn't like him, "Then you should call me first to explain the situation, and we can make an appointment another day." Instead of wasting my time here alone like today. β
The aunt said that Lu Bei now works at the space agency, and his mother is the former leader of the aunt. Originally, my aunt wanted to introduce her little colleague to him, but I didn't expect the girl to miss the appointment temporarily, so she found her.
Now it seems that he and that girl are really a natural pair.
One is late for an appointment, as for her...... Proper great injustice.
Lu Bei scratched his head awkwardly: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Why don't we sit down and eat something first? β
Lin Xi's patience had long since run out, and the one upstairs was still there, so she didn't want to stay here any longer.
Waving his hand, he hurriedly refused: "I just returned to China and had a lot of things, so let's do it another day." β
Lu Bei couldn't hide his loss, but he was late first, and it was not easy to force it. "Are you going back to the compound? I'll send you back. β
"Don't bother, I'm not going back there tonight." For some reason, Lin Xi's heart was throbbing, and he casually raised his head and glanced towards the second floor.
ββ
A private room on the second floor of the Seongnam Restaurant.
The man on the throne did not move, and the rest of the people present did not dare to make a mistake.
The boss who was closer to him poured him a drink, "I heard that Mr. Qin has been busy in the branch recently, and he hasn't been back to Beijing for a while, so I specially ordered local dishes in Beijing today." The dishes in this restaurant are the craftsmanship left by the imperial chef in the palace before, Mr. Qin will try it? β
When the words fell, Qin Yu's narrow eyes raised slightly, and he glanced at the table casually, "Recently, my health has been poor, and I don't have much appetite, so I won't eat food." β
At the end, he added lightly: "I'm sorry." β
I didn't hear the apologies at all.
All the people present were old foxes, how could they not hear the perfunctory words in his words. But even so, they didn't dare to debunk it.
Finally, when Qin Yu returned to Beijing, he could not eat, and this business had to be discussed.
Several bosses glanced at each other before they got up, and their voices were interrupted by an abrupt ringtone.
Behind him, the accompanying assistant handed over the mobile phone. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yu got up and took the phone.
As soon as he left, several people present looked at each other, and had to look tentatively at the delicate young woman on the other side of the main seat.
The woman smiled slightly: "The third brother will come back after answering the phone, let's eat first." β
When she said that, the others were relieved. After a while, someone couldn't help but ask, "Miss Song and Qin are always not a good thing, are they coming?" When the time comes, remember to send us a wedding card too! β
The woman's red lips rose, "Of course, you must be there then." β
ββ
Outside the box, Qin Yu stopped at the window, he turned his head and lit a cigarette, and then pressed the answer unhurriedly.
"Mr. Qin, Miss Lin Xi returned to China last night."
Hearing the familiar name, Qin Yu's unfazed face was stunned for a moment. Coming back to his senses, he twisted the cigarette on his fingertips, and said in a calm tone: "In the compound? β
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds, "Now, Miss Lin should be in the son of Mayor Lu's family...... Dine. β
"Eat?"
"Uh, blind date." Corrected over there.
Qin Yu frowned, "Where is it?" β
"Seongnam Restaurant. It's the one where Miss Lin always said that the food was unpalatable when she was a child, and she vomited after eating. β
As if sensing something in the dark, Qin Yu subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked downstairs.
In the lobby of the restaurant, there is a "little couple" pulling and pulling. The girl's expression was a little impatient, and the boy seemed to have been apologizing.
Immediately afterwards, as if a thief was weak-hearted, the girl secretly glanced at his location and met his gaze impartially. She was stunned for a second, and the indifference in her eyes was quickly replaced by astonishment.
Qin Yu's breath sank, and the ink under his eyes was as deep as a cold pool. He forcibly suppressed his emotions, rolled his Adam's apple up and down a few times, and finally called her name again after many years, "Lin Xi, come up." β
