for Advance Chapter
"Where are we going?" I asked puzzledly.
When he heard that Nalan Xi was going to punish Li Mu, he couldn't help but be surprised.
I guess Nalan Xi has some evidence against Li Mu.
"Let's go to Shangdao Coffee." Nalan Xi looked at me with a cold face, then walked out of the office. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Drive my car."
I nodded and didn't ask why they were going to Shangdao Coffee, but I guessed something in my heart.
I entered the elevator with Nalan Xi and suddenly remembered something. I took out my cell phone and sent a message to Qin Xinmei, telling her that I was going out with Nalan Xi.
Qin Xinmei sent a message: "Drive carefully on the road, and be alert."
I smacked my lips and stared at my phone, a comfortable and happy smile appearing on my face. Qin Xinmei actually knew that I was Nalan Xi's driver again.
"Send a message to President Qin?" Nalan Xi glanced at me, put her hands in her trouser pockets, stood straight, and suddenly said sarcastically.
There were only Nalan Xi and I in the elevator. I was stunned when I heard her sarcastic words.
"Didn't you see it?" I put the phone in my pocket, turned to look at Nalan Xi, with a faint smile on my face, and asked, "President Nalan, you seem a little dissatisfied."
Yesterday, Nalan Xi rested at home for a day and looked energetic. Her slightly curly hair was long and spread over her shoulders, and her charming face was fair and tender. Just now in the office, after she answered Li Mu's call, her charming face looked cold.
When I was sending a message to Qin Xinmei, I noticed from the corner of my eye that Nalan Xi was glancing at my phone, and there was a hint of teasing on her charming face.
I was a little puzzled. Why did Nalan Xi mock me when I sent a message to Qin Xinmei? Could it be that she was unhappy that I was staying with Qin Xinmei?
Nalan Xi glanced at me without saying anything, took a deep breath, tightened her hands on her belt, and her charming face began to gradually become cold.
After the elevator went down to the underground parking lot, Nalan Xi walked out first and quickly came to the side of the white Lamborghini she was driving.
"You drive." Nalan Xi handed me the car keys with a cold face, her charming face showing an impatient look.
"Sister Xi, are your relatives coming to visit?" I took the car keys speechlessly and sat in the car with some unhappiness.
I sat in the driver's seat, set the route, and glanced at Nalan Xi. Wasn't this woman fine yesterday? But she started to change drastically today.
"What relative?" Nalan Xi leaned on the passenger seat, looked at me with a frown, and lifted her slightly curly wavy hair with her delicate hands. Her two long beautiful legs were supported by black high heels, and the insteps of her jade feet were white and smooth.
I smiled mischievously and said, "Auntie."
"roll."
A snapping sound was heard inside the car.
Nalan Xi turned around and glared at me, then suddenly raised her jade hand and patted my shoulder hard, then fastened her seat belt, which made her breasts bulge under her black suit.
"Hey, you female devil, be careful or I'll take revenge on you." I gritted my teeth and endured the numbness and pain in my shoulder, staring back at Nalan Xi. My eyes couldn't help but glance at her two bulging breasts, while I started the Lamborghini and drove out of the parking lot.
"Chen Qing, what are you looking at?" Nalan Xi saw me peeking at her breasts, and she tightened her suit with her two jade hands. A hint of unnaturalness could not help but appear on her charming face. Then she put her jade hands on her lower abdomen and asked in confusion: "What female devil?"
I gripped the steering wheel, driving steadily on the road, glanced at Nalan Xi, and said in a deep voice: "You are moody, aren't you a female devil?"
"If I were a female devil, I would eat you alive." Nalan Xi had a cold face, her ten slender jade fingers intertwined together, her two long jade legs crossed, and the backs of her two high-heeled jade feet were white and very attractive.
Along the way, Nalan Xi and I were bickering and before we knew it, we arrived at Shangdao Coffee.
As soon as Nalan Xi and I entered the door, we saw a young man standing up from a booth in the corner and waving at us.
It was Zhou Li, dressed casually in casual clothes. His face was well-defined and he had a handsome and sunny smile.
I looked at Zhou Li, then at Nalan Xi, and saw her nodding at Detective Zhou.
Nalan Xi walked straight to the booth. Zhou Li moved his body and leaned inward, intending to let her sit next to him.
I thought Nalan Xi would sit next to Zhou Li, but I saw her sitting opposite me. Her charming face looked calm. She turned her head to look at me and motioned me to sit next to her.
When Zhou Li saw Nalan Xi and I sitting together, his eyes showed some deep meaning, and then a look of pain appeared on his face.
"My dear classmate Nalan, you make me so sad." Zhou Li looked at Nalan Xi and said exaggeratedly with one hand covering his heart.
"Can you always do this? Stop pretending. Where are my things?" Nalan Xi sat upright and knocked on the table with her jade hand, signaling Zhou Li to stop talking nonsense and focus on business.
Zhou Li's eyes passed over me, then landed on Nalan Xi. He smiled wryly and said, "It's noon now, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you."
I didn't say anything, turned my head and looked at Nalan Xi, letting her make the decision. She was the vice president of the company and the second in command, and I was just Qin Xinmei's secretary. The decision of whether to stay for dinner was up to her.
"Okay, I'll just have a steak pasta." Nalan Xi nodded, then stood up and motioned for me to move, whispering, "I'm going to the bathroom."
After Nalan Xi left her seat, Zhou Li looked at her back bitterly, then looked at me with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, is there something wrong?" I felt that Zhou Li had something to ask, probably wanting to ask about Nalan Xi.
However, I guessed wrong.
Zhou Li picked up the coffee, took a sip, and asked casually, "Chen Qing, what do you think of Mr. Qin?"
President Qin, of course, is referring to Qin Xinmei. There is only one Queen Qin in Anhai City.
"Being her secretary is pretty good." I was a little surprised and looked at Zhou Li and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, are you investigating me?"
I knew Zhou Li was investigating my information, and he acted like an experienced detective as soon as he opened his mouth.
He directly asked whether Mr. Qin was good to him, and even omitted how they met. I read a joke in a book. When a man and a woman were on a blind date, the woman asked if your home had a parking space, which summarized in one sentence whether you had a house and a car.
However, I don't know why Zhou Li is investigating me.
"I'm not investigating you. I'll charge for investigating people, things, infidelity, mistresses, or even a puppy." Zhou Li's expression straightened up, and he stood up and waved to a sweet-looking waitress, "Beautiful lady, take your order."
I glanced at Zhou Li and realized that he was avoiding the topic, so I didn't continue to ask questions or pester him. Even if he was investigating me, he was just curious about why Qin Xinmei had a male secretary.
After ordering the food, Nalan Xi had not returned yet. Zhou Li and I were not very familiar with each other, so naturally we did not have much to talk about. We each took out our phones to pass the time while waiting for the food to be served.
I looked up at Zhou Li, and he looked up at the same time. We smiled at each other, and then lowered our heads to play with our phones again.
Nalan Xi came back from the bathroom and sat on the stool. Zhou Li started talking again, talking about some social events in a vivid and humorous manner.
While I was waiting for my meal, I listened to Zhou Li telling all kinds of interesting stories, and I knew that he was trying to find a way to make the beautiful lady Na Lanxi smile.
It has to be said that detective Zhou Li is indeed knowledgeable, ranging from international current affairs to various domestic news.
Nalan Xi had a calm expression on her face, occasionally saying a word or two while stirring the coffee with her delicate hands. There was no smile on her charming face.
While waiting for the meal to be served, Zhou Li saw that Nalan Xi did not smile at all, and there was a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
I looked at Zhou Li, and recalled the last time I saw him looking at Nalan Xi, his eyes were full of love that could not be concealed. It was a pity that the flower may have feelings, but the flowing water is ruthless.
There is a saying: There is only a thought between pursuit and giving up. The more persistent you are, the more painful it will be. Sometimes giving up is also a kind of relief.
Zhou Li's current situation is that he has always been obsessed with the sun but has never been warmed, just like a clown's exhausted performance that has never made a beautiful woman smile.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Li stopped talking and took out a card reader from his handbag, placing it on the table. He gently pushed it in front of Nalan Xi and said with a smile, "The contents of the investigation are all in it. If you can't deal with that kid Li Mu, I can help you."
Nalan Xi held the card reader in her jade hand, and her charming face finally smiled briefly. Then she shook her head and said, "No, I'll take care of it."
"Yeah, it seems I'm meddling too much. Your big boss, Mr. Qin, hasn't taken any action yet, so it's the turn of a small follower like me." Zhou Li laughed at himself.
"Chen Qing, let's go back." Nalan Xi turned to look at me, put the card reader in his trouser pocket, stood up from his seat, looked at Zhou Li, and said seriously, "Thank you."
"I do things for money and help people get rid of disasters. You can come to me again if you have any problems next time." Zhou Li also stood up hurriedly and said with a smile.
Nalan Xi nodded and kicked my calf: "Let's go."
Nalan Xi and I walked out of the door of Shangdao Coffee and were about to head towards the parking lot when we found Zhou Li following us.
"Isn't your car parked over there?" Nalan Xi stopped, frowned and looked at Zhou Li, pointing her jade finger at the parking space in front of Shangdao Coffee. "Lan Xi, can't you really give me another chance?" Zhou Li asked bitterly.
He had said before that he had given up pursuing Nalan Xi, but her face kept lingering in his mind. Zhou Li felt that this torment was unbearable for a human being, and thought about trying again today.
"Zhou Li, the person I like is him." Nalan Xi suddenly pointed at me, put her jade hand on my head, stood on tiptoe with her two high-heeled jade feet, put her little mouth on my mouth, and kissed me hard for two seconds before letting go.
I was a little stunned, with a hint of the fragrance of Nalan Xi's little mouth still on my lips, and then I couldn't help but look at the two of them.
Nalan Xi's charming face was full of calmness, and her charming face looked as if it was a matter of course.
Zhou Li looked at me in astonishment, his expression somewhat complicated. The corners of his mouth moved, but he couldn't say a word. His eyes were filled with surprise, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
I sighed secretly in my heart, and suddenly remembered certain scenes. Isn't this situation the plot of a novel?
Nalan Xi ignored Zhou Li and took my hand as she walked towards the parking lot next to us. I turned around and saw that she looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
I held Nalan Xi's jade hand in my hand, feeling that I had acted out the whole play. My big hand held her soft jade hand, which felt cool and smooth. My heart was filled with joy, and I couldn't help but squeeze it gently.
It was not until we arrived at the parking lot that Nalan Xi pulled her jade hand out of my palm.
Nalan Xi put her hands behind her back, a dangerous smile on her charming face: "How is it? Is it comfortable to hold?"
As I opened the car door, I raised an eyebrow and said, "It's very soft and slippery."
"Shameless." Nalan Xi glared at me, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat with a smile on her charming face.
I started the white Lamborghini and turned to look at Nalan Xi. Her face was as bright as the sun after the rain. I guessed that she had taken the card reader and was about to solve the problem of the cotton material. The heavy stone in my heart naturally fell to the ground.
On the way back to the company, I saw a jewelry store and suddenly had an idea, so I parked my car in the parking space at the door.
"Do you want to buy jewelry?" Nalan Xi asked in confusion.
"Yes, come and help me pick." I smiled cunningly, hurriedly got out of the car and took Nalan Xi's hand into the jewelry store.
After entering the jewelry store, a wide variety of gold and silver jewelry catches the eye, both large and small.
"What kind do you want to buy? Silver, gold, or jade? Or wear it on your hand or around your neck?" Nalan Xi looked at the jade hand I was holding, and did not struggle to break free.
"Sister Xi, are you so particular?" I held Nalan Xi's jade hand and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "I want to buy a pair of silver earrings, can you help me pick them out?"
"Are you buying silver earrings? As a gift?" Nalan Xi suddenly broke free from my big hand and asked in confusion.
"Hehe, keep it a secret." I glanced at Nalan Xi, and then looked carefully at the counters of various gold and silver jewelry. Nalan Xi's face was a little dull, and he followed me without saying a word. Seeing me looking left and right at the counters, he seemed a little impatient. Finally, he simply sat on the stool and let me choose by myself.
After 15 minutes, I fell in love with a pair of silver earrings that were more than an inch long, with a small crystal clear jade pendant hanging at the bottom. The overall workmanship was fine and very beautiful.
I asked the clerk to wrap it into an exquisite little gift box, then looked at Nalan Xi not far away and saw her staring at me without saying a word.
After thinking about it, I went to another counter and bought a small silver bracelet and a silver jade pendant necklace, and then asked the counter clerk to wrap them in gift boxes. "Sister Xi, let's go." I walked up to Nalan Xi, carrying a bag containing three silver ornaments, and said with a wink.
"You bought so many? Who are they for?" Nalan Xi stood up, stood side by side with me, and asked casually.
"Keep it a secret." I said cunningly.
Nalan Xi glanced at me and said coldly, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's as if I really want to ask you."
When I was sitting in the car, I saw Nalan Xi looking out the window with a cold face. I smiled secretly, took out a small gift box containing a silver jade pendant necklace and shook it in front of her.
"What?" Nalan Xi glared at me and said unhappily.
"It's for you. If you don't want it, forget it." I snorted and pretended to be dissatisfied as I pulled the gift box back.
But a white and tender hand flashed by and quickly snatched the gift box from my hand.
"If something is free, don't waste it." Nalan Xi casually put the small gift box into her handbag, put her jade hand on her lower abdomen, turned her head and looked out the window.
I saw a smile on the corner of Nalan Xi's fair face, and my heart was moved, so I patted her shoulders with my hand.
"What are you doing again?" Nalan Xi put away her smile and turned to look at me in confusion.
Before Nalan Xi could react, I held her cheeks with both hands and kissed her seductive little mouth.
Nalan Xi quickly pushed me away and glared at me angrily: "Chen Qing, you bastard."
"I'm returning the favor. Didn't you kiss me not long ago?" I said with a sly smile.
"Asshole, I had no choice." Nalan Xi's two jade hands tightened, almost clenching together, and her voice became lower and lower. Her charming, fair and delicate face was filled with shame and anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and drive back to the company."
