Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Want to see me?

Mr. and Mrs. Li didn’t say much, after all, Zong Yue’s background was too prestigious, they just thought of waiting for Li Jun to come home in the evening to ask properly.

After the meal had ended, Li Jun turned his head and looked at Zong Yue, whispering, "Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

Zong Yue glanced at him and countered softly, "Are you very busy?"

"Yes, I have a meeting in the afternoon, and then I need to go for an inspection. If you have nothing else, feel free to go out or go back to the hotel to rest."

Listen to that, such a cold attitude.

Zong Yue tucked the strands of hair beside her face behind her ear, her gaze flickered, and she asked him softly, "So when will you be done with your work?"

"Not sure, I’ve been very busy recently, might need to work overtime." Li Jun took a sip of tea, showing none of the tenderness and consideration expected from a boyfriend.

A hint of hurt flashed through Zong Yue’s eyes, but it was fleeting.

In such a setting, she was the only outsider, and the one she wanted to rely on the most, Li Jun, did not give her any response.

Like a wooden figure!

After a while, the group left the private room. Li Qiao and Li Yan walked at the end, Li Er bumped her shoulder, "Is big brother serious about this?"

Political marriage... Is it that easy?

Just pick a girl, and she’s from the Red Gate family.

Li Qiao lifted her eyelids and spoke indifferently, "It seems so."

Li Jun’s character is too honest and resolute. Since he brought Zong Yue in front of his family, it’s enough to prove that he was ready.

Li Yan looked at Zong Yue walking beside Li Jun, thoughtfully stroked his chin, "Now, what I’m more curious about is how big brother and she met."

...

After leaving Entertainment City, Li Qiao said goodbye to her family and headed for the parking lot.

There was work to be done in the lab in the afternoon.

Just as she approached her parking spot, someone called her from behind, "Li Qiao."

Li Qiao turned around and saw Zong Yue approaching rapidly. She greeted her with a detached expression, "Miss Zong."

Zong Yue waved her hand to signal her bodyguard to step back and came up to Li Qiao alone, "Just call me Zong Yue, no need to be so polite."

"Did you need something?" Li Qiao looked directly into Zong Yue’s clear black and white eyes, not disliking her, but also not warm.

The two were of similar height, Zong Yue looking back at her, hesitantly probed, "Do you... have any free time this afternoon? I’d like to invite you for a coffee."

Invite her for a coffee?

Li Qiao couldn’t figure out Zong Yue’s intentions, fingering the car keys in her hand, she was about to respond when her phone in her pocket rang.

She said, "Hold on a second," took out her phone and saw the caller ID, her calm brows and eyes shifting slightly.

By her reckoning, it had been four or five days since she’d last seen Shang Yu.

He was also very busy, and indeed, she couldn’t afford the time.

Li Qiao stepped to the side, her tone much softer as she answered, "Hello~"

"At Entertainment City?" The man’s deep, husky voice was clear to her ear.

Li Qiao instinctively looked around her, "Yes, just finished a meal, how did you know?"

Could it be he was here too?

Shang Yu blew smoke out away from the receiver, his voice made even more low and magnetic by the scent of cigarettes, "Qiu Huan saw you just now."

Li Qiao withdrew her gaze, raising her eyebrows in realization, "Oh, I thought you were here too..."

"Wanting to see me?" The man’s deep tone held a smile, yet seemed to carry a different kind of emotion.

Li Qiao cleared her throat, catching sight of Zong Yue’s gaze, she casually said, "Not really..."

On the phone, silence lingered for a while, Shang Yu’s voice dropped several notches, his words intriguing, "It seems I misunderstood, I thought after not seeing each other for five days, the girlfriend would miss me."
