Chapter 372: Initiative

“Lin Miao.”

Li Jingjing’s face was so handsome that people couldn’t take their eyes off her. Lin Miao kept staring at him while he was talking.

“You know how I feel about you. We grew up together. I treat you like a brother. I hope you can understand.”

Li Jingjing told him the truth. He didn’t want to lie to Lin Miao and give her hope, in case the misunderstanding got deeper and it would be difficult to explain.

Lin Miao felt a little helpless and wronged. She slowly approached Li Jingjing and continued to ask carefully,”

“Brother Yingluo, is that all? Then I’ll call you Li Jingjing from now on and not brother, okay?”

Lin Miao’s appearance, when she wasn’t fierce and didn’t make a scene, and when she spoke softly in grievance, it made her look even more lovely and pitiful.

Li Jingjing also took the initiative to step forward and gently patted Lin Miao’s shoulder, saying,”

“You know that’s not the reason. Lin Miao, let’s go back. The old man will be worried if we stay here for too long. I don’t know what he will think.”

Lin Miao lowered her head. At this time, she was really sad. Her eyes were red, but she held it in, not wanting Li Jingjing to see her fragile appearance.

Although Li Jingjing had always refused Lin Miao’s approach, he could feel Lin Miao’s sacrifice for him. He also understood Lin Miao’s sadness and disappointment at this time.

AI! She was still a little girl next door who had not grown up.

Li Jingjing couldn’t explain why, but a feeling of pity welled up in her heart. He took the initiative to walk up to Lin Miao and hug her.

......

Lin Miao only lowered her head and didn’t interact with him.

She could feel that Li Jingjing’s hug wasn’t out of love or fondness. It was probably just guilt. He felt guilty.

Lin Miao was still motionless, and he couldn’t guess what she was thinking.

More than ten minutes had passed. Li Jingjing didn’t want the two old people in the private room to think too much, so she took Lin Miao’s hand and walked back.

As he walked, he reminded Lin Miao in a serious voice,”

“Let’s go back for dinner! We’re just having a meal tonight, so don’t say anything. I really have something urgent to do later, so I won’t be staying for long. I’ll tell you the truth later. ”

After saying this, they were almost at the door. Lin ran didn’t even have the time or opportunity to ask questions before Li Jingjing pulled her into the private room.

The two old men were still chatting happily about their past. When they saw li Miaomiao and Lin Miao coming back together, they smiled and asked casually,”

“You’re back. Why did you take so long?”

“It’s fine. I just saw a vegetable garden outside with Lin Miao. I grew some vegetables myself. Ask the waiter to add more vegetables,” said Wang Yao.

Li Jingjing beckoned for the waiter to come in.”

“Here, add one more dish of stir-fried beef with beans.”

The waiter registered and went out to report.

This trick was indeed effective. It successfully diverted the old man’s attention, and everyone began to eat.

The waiter brought four white wine glasses and a pot of tonic wine made from medicinal herbs.

“Everyone, pour it. Men and women are equal. Let’s drink together!” Old master Li asked the waiter to pour him some wine.

“Come, come, come, everyone, let’s have a toast! Everything went smoothly!”

Old master Li took the lead and everyone clinked their glasses together, drinking three glasses of wine in a row.

After drinking, old master Li gave his son, li Qianqian, a look.

Of course, Li Jingjing understood. Her father had asked her to give a toast to old master Lin. It was nothing. It was only right.
