Chapter 697 Meet her predestined man (1/2)

Lunch came to an end as Liu Shan steps out from Yue Ling's office. He slowly closed the door but stares back at the door like he could see the person inside.

He doesn't know what made her tell him to forget about Ling Ni, but he knows that something must have happened during the meeting with Secretary Jiang. However, he couldn't bring himself to ask.

After a long minute, he finally looks away from the door and walks back to his office.

He enters the space that he works and thought back to when she took a look at his face. A frown appears on his face and he strides to the full-body mirror hung in the room.

With a slight lean, he stares at his own reflection without missing a spot. However, the more he stares, the more he could only frown.

”Was it that noticeable? I'm sure I hid it pretty well.”

Not seeing what Yue Ling had seen, he brushes his thoughts away and walks around his desk to sit down. His head turns to look at the windows and he couldn't help but sigh depressingly.

”I wonder what Xu Long and Lin Hui are doing…”

After the lake, Xu Long had mentioned that he was given time off work and was going to move into his new place.

He (Liu Shan) wanted to go see the man's new place, but he had work to do. Maybe when he gets off, he'll go pay his friend a visit and maybe, just maybe, see if the place has any available space for him too.

As he began to work, what he did not know is, not too far from De L'amour, the two people he was thinking about were walking out from a convenience store.

Lin Hui held a sulking expression as he carries two bags of pre-made food in one hand and a cup of warm coffee in the other. His eyes glare murderously at the person in front of him.

”This is how you treat the person who is willingly willing to help you move? Couldn't we go to a restaurant and eat a proper lunch?”

Walking a few steps ahead of the subordinate, Xu Long stops in his tracks and turns to look at the complaining person. His face held no expression and he turns away to continue walking.

”For someone who destroyed my dignity, this is all you deserve.”

”…”

Lin Hui was struck flabbergasted by this. He stares at Xu Long's departing figure and raises his hand holding the bag to scratch his head in confusion.

What did he do? When did he ever destroy Xu Long's precious dignity?

Thinking this, he stuck his tongue out at Xu Long's back and force his legs to follow. He had already said he was going to help with the move, so all he can do is cry and wish that Liu Shan were here to help him.

As the two men walk away from the convenience store, neither were aware of the two women sitting by the window inside the café shop next door.

Shi Yan was casually glancing at the people passing by when she spotted Lin Hui in the crowd. Her eyes widen and she points out the window.

”Qin Xue, that's him.”

Sitting across from the young woman, Qin Xue was calmly drinking her coffee. When she heard Shi Yan's frantic voice, she furrows her brows for a quick second.

”Shi Yan, why are you yelling?”

Seeing that Shi Yan was pointing somewhere, she turns her head and looks out the window. However, she didn't know where she was supposed to look.

Shi Yan took notice of this and sighs in frustration. She points in the direction Lin Hui is and looks at the red hair woman.

”That's him. He's the one who helped save you.”

Qin Xue almost choked from her drink that she had yet to swallow. She tries to search through the crowd, but there were too many people walking back and forth.
