C30 Lying Calmly and Peacefully
Since her relationship problem had been resolved, she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she politely refused: "Director Lee, don't be so polite. There's no need to eat anymore."
"Are you still angry with me?"
Lee Jingyu had a sullen and handsome face, with a hint of childishness in his upset expression: "I knew it, you didn't really see me as a friend, you were just fawning on me!"
"Director Lee, don't say that. I didn't lie to you. You are so handsome and so rich. It is my honor to be your friend."
It was a great honor for her to be admired by an outstanding man like Lee Jingyu.
Although Chu Qingyan's flattery skills were bad, Lee Jingyu still happily accepted it.
His gloomy face was slightly pleased and his voice became more gentle. "It's just a meal. Don't reject it anymore. Wait for me downstairs."
If she refused again, it would appear that she was being hypocritical and did not know how to appreciate favors.
Chu Qingyan could only nod. "Alright, I'm leaving!"
After Lee Jingyu had showered and changed his clothes, he looked radiant. His movements were graceful and calm. Chu Qingyan, who was walking beside him, caught a whiff of the eau de cologne as her heart pounded wildly.
The second and third floor of the Di Hao Hotel was the cafeteria. Lee Jingyu led her and Du Mufeng into the cafeteria, which made her enjoy an unprecedented respect. It was even more VIP than VIP.
Chu Qingyan sat alone, while Lee Jingyu and Du Mufeng sat opposite to each other, eating and chatting.
They had a tacit understanding not to bring up emotional matters, but to talk about safe topics such as the general election in the United States, the rise and fall of house prices, stock futures, and so on.
Before he finished eating, Kang Wenyuan called Chu Qingyan.
Chu Qingyan had just said "hey" when he directly asked, "Where is it?"
With Du Mufeng present, she didn't feel guilty at all. She answered confidently, "We will eat at the Di Hao Hotel."
Kang Wenyuan asked again: "How much longer do you want me to eat? Do you want me to come and pick you up?"
She subconsciously looked up and saw Lee Jingyu was staring at her. His face was expressionless and his heart skipped a beat.
Chu Qingyan hurriedly retracted her gaze and mumbled, "There's still a little while left, you don't have to come."
"En!" Kang Wenyuan hung up decisively.
After putting the phone back into her bag, Chu Qingyan stood up and said, "You guys take your time. I'm going to the washroom."
The moment he walked out of the restaurant, Lee Jingyu followed up and asked: "Your husband is back?"
She smiled and nodded. "That's right!"
"You love him very much?"
Lee Jingyu's question stunned Chu Qingyan a little. She clearly didn't love Kang Wenyuan, but she had no choice but to lie: "Yes, I love him a lot."
"And he loves you?"
Chu Qingyan continued to lie with a smile on her face. "Of course!"
"Is that so?" Lee Jingyu narrowed his eyes and said with a weird tone, "I thought he didn't love you at all."
Chu Qingyan looked at Lee Jingyu in shock. She raised her index finger and middle finger and pointed at her brow, "Sorry, sorry about that."
"It doesn't matter!"
Lee Jingyu's clear eyes seemed to have seen through everything. Chu Qingyan could only lie to herself, it was not convincing at all.
After dawdling in the bathroom for a while, she opened the heavy and gorgeous carved wooden door, and saw Lee Jingyu slowly tidying his hair in front of the mirror.
She and he looked at each other through the bright, clean mirror.
"Director Lee, you are so handsome that you can become a celebrity now. I guarantee you that you will be successful!" Chu Qingyan forced herself to calm down as she joked with him.
"Really?" Lee Jingyu seemed very happy, even his voice was rising unconsciously.
He adjusted the fine bangs on his forehead, not forgetting to raise his eyebrows at himself in the mirror, revealing an enchanting smile.
"Of course it's true. Director Lee, it's such a pity that you're not a celebrity." Chu Qingyan nodded earnestly and said, "Even if those celebrities did a face-lift, they're still not as handsome as you."
He turned to look at her and laughed. "Which one is handsome between your husband and me?"
"Of course, Director Lee is more handsome." Without waiting for Lee Jingyu to speak, Chu Qingyan added her own thoughts in a hurry, "I think it's better not to find a husband that's too handsome. If he's too handsome, he would attract the attention of the women outside.
"Do you think that no one cares about your husband?" Lee Jingyu revealed an enigmatic smile: "As far as I know, your husband is also not an ordinary man."
