Chapter 1210 (1/2)
Li Qing picked up the coffee cup, put it to his lips and suddenly put it down again. He turned his head and stared at the blue sea outside the window, as if he wanted to stop talking.
The two men were silent for a while. Xue Yuexin took the lead in taking back her eyes from the window: ”do you have anything to say?”
”There are some trivial words...” Li Qing's expression hesitated. ”Should I ask, some are uncertain.”
Xue Yuexin smiled: ”since we have talked about this step, it's urgent to be so hesitant.”
Li Qing smiled: ”then I'll be frank.”
”Yes.”
”I only ask you one question. Please answer me seriously.” Li Qing stared at Xue Yuexin's black and white beautiful eyes, ”but I want to state before this that whether you answer yes or no will not damage our relationship, so there is no need to have any scruples.”
Xue Yuexin's back was slightly straightened, and her look was obviously nervous. After a while, she gently touched her snow-white chin: ”I see. Ask.”
Li Qing took a breath and said slowly, ”did you really leave a copy of the secret document you stole from the Lord of Wales four years ago?”
Xue Yuexin was slightly stunned and stared at her beautiful eyes in amazement. The faint loss passed quietly from the bottom of her eyes.
Then Xue Yuexin leaned back on the chair, her head tilted back, and couldn't help laughing.
Li Qing frowned: ”what are you laughing at?”
Xue Yuexin shook her head again and again: ”I thought you were going to ask...”
”Why?”
Xue Yuexin shook her head again, but did not go on.
Perhaps it was her own wishful thinking. She thought silently in her heart, and couldn't help feeling a few unspeakable bitterness.
Li Qing shook his coffee cup blankly: ”what are you laughing at? Is the question I asked funny?”
”No, I'm funny.” Xue Yuexin sat up straight, raised her jade hand and pulled the soft hair in front of her forehead, with a touch of light self mockery on her pretty cheeks.
”Can you answer my question?”
”Yes.” Xue Yuexin suddenly stopped smiling and stared at Li Qing's answer word by word, ”there is no copy.”
Li Qing nodded: ”thank you, I see.”
”Why do you ask?” Xue Yuexin asked softly, ”do you doubt something and think I deceived you?”
”No.” Li Qing shook his head. ”A friend laughed at my innocence. He said that my biggest problem was mistaking everyone as clean as me.”
”So you're worried that I have a stain?”
”No.” Li Qing smiled again. ”I just doubt whether I am as clean as she said. Now it seems that maybe she is wrong.”
After a moment of silence, Xue Yuexin said seriously, ”Li Qing, thank you. In this world, few people choose to trust someone because of one word. Thank you for your trust.”
Li Qing took a sip of coffee and said faintly, ”people are visual animals. I believe that the soul will be as beautiful as the appearance. I'd like to believe in a beautiful woman. It's not strange.”
”Are you praising me?” Xue Yuexin flicked her hair and asked with a smile.
”I'm stating a fact.” Li Qing put down his coffee cup and pressed a bill under the cup. ”I'll go first. You'll leave in ten minutes.”
”OK.” Xue Yuexin gently nodded her head, watched Li Qing push open the door of the private room of the cafe and went out.
Li Qing went out of the cafe, sat in the car, took out his mobile phone and called Qian Liming.
As soon as the call was connected, Qian Liming laughed: ”brother, congratulations.”
”Congratulations on what?”
”Isn't it worth congratulating director Zhong for returning to Hong Kong twice?” Qian Liming said, ”I don't know your relationship with Zhong Ruoxi. Don't hide it. I'm going crazy these days?”
”Generally, I'm just fascinated.” Li Qing pulled at the corners of his mouth and suddenly turned his words, ”I'm going to Mingtai now.”
”Ah? What are you doing in Mingtai?”
”Why, not welcome?”
”Well, of course I welcome you.”
”I'll see you in the afternoon,” said Li Qing. Without waiting for Qian Liming's answer, he hung up the call.
He threw his mobile phone in the co driver's seat. Li Qing took a deep breath, started the car, turned around and drove towards the Mingtai.
At 3:30 pm that day, Li Qing drove to Lushui villa, Mingtai city. When he drove into the yard, Qian liming was standing at the door to meet him.
