Mu Li was naturally skeptical.

Lin Qing waited for him to walk in front of him, and held his hand without waiting for him to speak: "I ......"

She hesitated and looked very weak.

Mu Li pricked up his ears and continued to listen-

"I'm running late for work." Lin Qing said helplessly, dragging Mu Li downstairs.

On the way to the company, Lin Qing seemed to have something on his mind and said very little.

Although she usually does the same, Mu Li feels that it is very abnormal.

"Do you have any plans for the evening?" Driving on the widest road in the city center, Mu Li asked.

Lin Qing's gaze withdrew from the window and asked rhetorically, "Is there something wrong?" ”

This reaction made Mu Li very dissatisfied.

So he said, "In the evening, I want to eat with you." ”

Lin Qing was a little embarrassed: "Unfortunately, I have an appointment in the evening." ”

"Push it off." Mu Li turned a deaf ear, "I have already booked the restaurant." ”

Lin Qing was very embarrassed: "But...... I don't want to miss my appointment. ”

These four words struck Mu Li's heart deeply.

Don't want to miss an appointment.

Therefore, between him and Chen Qudong, Chen Qudong will always be the most important one.

And he can only be relegated to second place.

"Who is it?" After a moment of silence, Mu left his mouth.

Lin Qing paused, she was weighing.

"A friend in the company made an appointment to have dinner with me after work today." For the first time, Lin Qing lied in front of Mu Li.

She prefers to resolve disputes in a convenient way rather than unnecessary ones.

Although, she felt very sorry for Mu Li.

After hearing this, Mu Li seemed to believe it and never mentioned it again. This made Lin Qing unexpected, and he felt much more relaxed.

When he arrived at the company building, Lin Qing said softly to be careful on the road, and consciously sent the seat belt to get out of the car. Mu Li didn't start the engine, but got out of the car with her.

Lin Qing turned his head and looked at Mu Li with some surprise.

Mu Li walked up to Lin Qing, couldn't help but pull her into his arms, and hugged her tightly in public.

Lin Qing didn't understand the situation for a while, and was hugged too tightly by Mu Li, breathing a little short.

"Mu, Muli, what's wrong with you?" She was a little uneasy, but she was happy.

This is the warmth and security that only his arms will have.

Lin Qing responded and hugged him gently.

Mu Li bowed his head slightly to Lin Qing's ear, and said in a low voice: "You are very beautiful today." ”

Lin Qing was stunned.

Mu Li kissed her earlobe and let go of her hand while she was still unconscious.

"Go home early." Mu Li instructed and did not ask for more.

Lin Qing pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

This smile made most of the gloom in Mu Li's mood disappear, and he went back to the car and started the engine.

"Be careful on the road." Before Mu Li left, Lin Qing said again.

And her heart was full of thoughts about Mu Li's hug and his low and gentle voice.

She shouldn't be lying, even if she made an appointment with her senior, the two of them just had a simple meal. Just now, she should have explained clearly.

Lin Qing regretted it a little.

Looking at the silver sports car in the distance, Lin Qing decided to confess when he went back tonight.

No matter what happens, she doesn't care.

Lu Xiao asked for leave today, not because she wanted to avoid Lin Qing because of last night's phone call, but because a friend of hers who hadn't seen her for many years drove to City A last night.

Last night, outside the newly built railway station in City A, Lu Xiao waited for this friend, and the two chatted excitedly all night.

Hearing that Lu Xiao had asked for leave, Lin Qing remembered that Mu Li said that someone had called her last night, and she checked it at that time, it was Lu Xiao's call.

Since Lu Xiao is not here, let's wait for two days. Lin Qing didn't disturb Lu Xiao, who was on vacation.

When she saw her senior, Lin Qing had a very flat feeling, she covered her heart, it was the same as usual.

Chen Qudong was very enthusiastic, he saw Lin Qing coming slowly from the opposite side, and greeted him when he was far away.

"Lin Qing, long time no see." When Lin Qing sat down, the senior's first sentence made Lin Qing silent.

It's not a long time.

But Lin Qing still nodded politely, taking it as recognition.

At this time, the waiter brought the menu and asked, "Sir, can you order now?" ”

Chen Qudong probably came early, and waited a little longer.

This is a very distinctive restaurant, focusing on Chinese food, and the interior decoration is mostly based on Han culture, which is particularly emotional.

Lin Qing rarely came to this kind of restaurant, so when he looked around, most of the people sitting around him looked like couples.

Atmosphere...... Slightly unusual.

However, Lin Qing still found a reason for himself, probably because the senior didn't take this level into account, and only chose this place because he thought the food here was good.

After that, Chen Qudong did not explain anything, which also corroborated Lin Qing's idea.

Lin Qing was not good at ordering, so she handed over the power to Chen Qudong, but when the waiter finally confirmed, she opened her mouth after listening.

These words were asked to Chen Qudong: "Can you replace that sweet and sour fish?" ”

At this time, Chen Qudong had a suddenly realized expression and clapped his hands: "By the way, you never eat sweet and sour fish." ”

So, the delicious sweet and sour fish was replaced with braised pork ribs.

Lin Qing doesn't like to eat sweet and sour fish, and most people who know her know about it.

As a senior, Chen Qudong naturally knows it.

Lin Qing bent the corners of her eyes gratefully, she treated Chen Qudong like an ordinary person. Today's seniors are no longer the object of unrequited love for her, but friends who can naturally sit together and chat and eat.

Lin Qing regarded him as a big brother.

She suddenly wondered if the hazy, lightly scented unrequited love in the past was really the kind of love between men and women.

Probably, it was because of the countless beautiful fantasies that I once pinned on this senior who was looking at him from afar.

Thinking about it like this, she was even more relieved.

After the waiter served the dishes, Chen Qudong poured a glass of red wine for Lin Qing. On the wine bottle was a brand that Lin Qing couldn't understand, and he only guessed that it was from abroad.

Lin Qing eats very well, the chefs here are very skilled, and every dish is a good dish.

The two of them chatted mostly in the first half, and the topic was never fixed, and they talked about it wherever they thought.

But Lin Qing could feel from Chen Qudong's demeanor that he seemed to have something to say, but he never spoke.

When she thought of this again, Chen Qudong seemed to see through her mind and took the initiative to mention a topic: "Although I asked you last time, I still want to know, how are you doing now?" ”

This question seems to have become a must-answer question when they meet.

Lin Qing will inevitably nod his head calmly as he does now.

Not as passionate as people in love, but not perfunctory with this action.

Chen Qudong knew that Lin Qing's state was very good.

It's just that his brow couldn't help frowning.

"It's okay, at least you're doing well."

There is a little sadness in these words, and it is obvious that it is not so clear.

Lin Qing only sandwiched a small rib and put it in the bowl, and when she heard this, she stopped her movements and looked up and asked, "Senior, are you not doing well?" ”

Chen Qudong sighed softly, as if he didn't want to mention it, but because Lin Qing took the initiative to ask, he couldn't help answering: "I know now that marriage is not as simple as imagined." ”

Lin Qing also somewhat agreed with this.

"Before I got married, I thought Ruoyi and I were in love with each other, but now that we are married, I find that there will be disputes over many meaningless little things." Chen Qudong sighed again when he said this, "I didn't expect Ruoyi's character to be like this. ”

Lin Qing quietly listened to the senior's words, and thought for a while before speaking: "Maybe she didn't mean it, after all, it takes a long time after getting married, and many things ...... It all needs to be run-in. ”

When he said this, Lin Qing thought of Mu Li.

Although his words are reasonable, Chen Qudong is complaining about his wife Liang Ruoyi at the moment, and he can't listen to it at all.

"I just feel that there is no way to communicate with Liang Ruoyi anymore." Chen Qudong directly called out Liang Ruoyi's name, which reflected the discord between the two.

Lin Qing recalled that although she and Mu Li had a little temper, they had never been so angry.

"She even lost her temper with me over some very inconspicuous things, saying that I was not right and that was not good. And I've found that on a lot of things, we don't always get to eye on the same thing. Chen Qudong continued, rubbing his temples heavily at the mention of this.

Seeing that he was slightly tired because of his marriage, Lin Qing felt that he should do something.

Although she and Mu Li cannot be regarded as a model couple, they still respect each other like guests.

"Senior, I think it would be much better if you could communicate with Sister Ruoyi and say everything in your heart." Lin Qing sincerely suggested.

Looking at the food on the table, Chen Qudong only felt tasteless, he shook his head: "She is different from you, every time I want to say something, she blows up, and always feels that I am looking for trouble with her." Now, I really don't know how to get along with her. ”

Then Chen Qudong added: "When I chose to get married, I don't know if it was right or wrong." ”

Lin Qing persuaded: "Since you are married, you always have feelings, maybe it is just a little uncomfortable now, and you will get better after this while." ”

Chen Qudong looked at Lin Qing sitting opposite, she still had an innocent and delicate face, and her calm expression made people feel at ease.

Seeing that Chen Qudong didn't speak, Lin Qing persuaded again: "Actually, senior, you can take these things as normal...... Just like Mu Li and me, sometimes we need to compromise. ”

This time she used herself as an example, but it was a mistake.

"So, the relationship between you and Mu Li is not so smooth?" A certain emotion flashed in Chen Qudong's eyes.

Lin Qing hesitated: "It's not all ......"

Chen Qudong interrupted Lin Qing: "Lin Qing, I always wanted to ask you, why did you marry Mu Li in the first place?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Qing was asked, he got married because of ......

I want to forget Chen Qudong sitting in front of me from now on.

Now it seems that Lin Qing has done it.

"You shouldn't be in love with divorce, but why should you get married?" Compared with his marital status, Chen Qudong seems to care more about Lin Qing at the moment.

This made it difficult for Lin Qing to answer.

"I ......," she couldn't find the words for a moment, so she had to say, "because I want to get married." ”

Chen Qudong was half-convinced, and sighed after drinking the wine in the cup.

"Marriage, I don't understand it anymore." He said, putting down his glass.

Lin Qing felt at this time that if he liked someone, the other party also happened to like him, and he could have a good marriage in the end, the probability of this thing was too small.

And it's really rare to meet such a person.
