Chapter 1197 (1/2)

After pondering for a moment, Xue Yuexin looked straight ahead and said calmly, ”Mr. Li, can I understand your words as a kind of harassment?”

”Isn't it...” Li Qing glanced at Xue Yuexin, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help pulling gently. ”I'm just making an analogy. Do you have persecution paranoia? You don't have confidence in everyone?”

”Your analogy... Is a bit like playing rogue, especially for a single woman.” Xue Yuexin slightly tilted her small head and blinked. ”It's like you keep saying you want to take all my underwear, so I'm worried about whether you want to take this one from me.”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and immediately patted the steering wheel and laughed.

”What are you laughing at?” Xue Yuexin said with a little dissatisfaction.

”Do you always tell cold jokes to others like this?”

”You think it's funny?”

”It's really funny.” Li Qing couldn't help nodding. ”You can rest assured that if I break into your house one day, I won't steal anything.”

”Better not.” Xue Yuexin seemed to win. A smile slowly popped up on her lips, and a cunning color flashed on her eyes.

Thirty minutes later, Li Qing stopped at a Chinese restaurant two blocks from Jing'an road.

When they entered the hotel, Li Qing asked for a private room, and then quickly hid in with Xue Yuexin.

But even so, when the waiter brought in the menu, he put a Xue Yuexin album under it.

Xue Yuexin looked at Li Qing helplessly, then took the signing pen and silently signed. When she handed the album back to the waiter, she raised her jade hand and made a silent gesture. She smiled sweetly and said, ”keep it a secret.”

”I like your song very much. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone you're here.” the waiter took the menu ordered by Li Qing and went out happily.

Li Qing took off his baseball cap, raised his head and said with a smile, ”I see you don't have time to talk. You just ordered a few dishes. I don't know if it suits your appetite.”

”It doesn't matter,” said Xue Yuexin. ”I'm on a diet recently.”

Li Qing looked at Xue Yuexin quite seriously and felt a little incredible: ”hmm? Are you fat?”

Xue Yuexin smiled: ”men never know what is just right for women.”

”Well, I'm very hungry now. I don't want to discuss this profound truth with you.” Li Qing smiled and shook his head. ”I'll take you home after lunch. I have a little private business in the afternoon.”

”Please feel free to contact me if you have any further investigation results.”

”OK.” Li Qing was silent. Between waiting for dishes, he turned the tea cup on the table and made a less pleasant sound.

Xue Yuexin stared at the movement on his hand and asked faintly, ”you seem to have something to say?”

”Do you have mind reading? You can see it all?” Li Qing raised his head and stared at Xue Yuexin again. ”What do you think of... Molly?”

”Molly? A lovely man.” Xue Yuexin smiled. ”Isn't he your good brother? What's the matter? Why do you suddenly ask this?”

Li Qing took back his hand, hesitated slightly, and began with some difficulty: ”do you think Molly actually... Likes you a little?”

”Although I haven't known each other for a long time, I believe Molly is a very loyal friend. He is very kind and simple. He will find his own happiness.” Xue Yuexin answered very appropriately, but her eyes have revealed a trace of unhappiness. ”What do you mean by suddenly mentioning these? Do you want to...”

”No, it doesn't mean that. Don't get me wrong.” Li Qing quickly waved his hand. ”You are a girl that any man will like when he sees you. I don't have the slightest qualification. I hope you can cater to others.”

Xue Yuexin's beautiful eyes flickered slightly: ”any man? Including you?”

Li Qing's face was a little embarrassed. After a few seconds, he suddenly grinned: ”I like beautiful girls.”

Xue Yuexin couldn't help laughing and raised her hand to cover her mouth: ”it's so straightforward...”

”Let's get down to business.” Li Qing tapped his finger on the table twice. ”I hope you can understand that Molly is just a child.”

Xue Yuexin's smile on her cheek slowly converged. Looking at Li Qing opposite, she seriously nodded her chin: ”don't worry, I hope he will always be a child.”

”Well, I hope you can keep your promise.” Li Qing replied solemnly. He believed that this step was enough. If the final outcome still disappoints him, it has nothing to do with understanding.

The private room door opened and the waiter brought the cooked dishes to the table.

”Let's eat.” Li Qing only concentrated on eating and didn't say anything else. But Xue Yuexin's appetite is not very good. This meal seems to be full of worries.

After lunch, Li Qing Yiyan sends Xue Yuexin back to her apartment on Jing'an road. He glanced at the corner of the street, didn't stop, but directly started the car to Xie's house.

To Li Qing's surprise, he didn't shut the door on his Xie family trip this time.

When Li Qing walked into the small courtyard where Xie Yuyan lived, she felt light all over, but she was a little uncomfortable.
