C62 The Dance Was about to Begin
When the music started playing, Qiao Lu De put his hand lightly on Dan Cheng Hao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Dan, please enlighten me."
Dan Cheng Hao put his warm hand around Qiao Lu De's waist and replied with a smile, "Of course."
The two of them started dancing along with the music. Dan Cheng Hao was very good at waltzing. His feet moved forward and backward along with the rhythm of the waltz. But Qiao Lu De didn't know whether it was because he was nervous from dancing with Dan Cheng Hao, or because he was not very familiar with the dance steps, but within a few minutes, he had already stepped on Dan Cheng Hao three or four times in a row. In the end, he could not help but laugh out loud and let Ai Lun stop the music.
"Jiao Qiao, if you really don't want to dance with me, just say it. There's no need to use this kind of method on me," Dan Cheng Hao lowered his head and looked at his feet as he said with incomparable melancholy.
Ai Lun also walked over and looked at Dan Cheng Hao with sympathy. She then raised her hand and swore to him, "Director Shan, I promise you, I really did put in a lot of effort in teaching Little Lu. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Dan Cheng Hao asked in confusion, "Then why is she dancing so badly?"
"Maybe because the person in my heart is standing in front of her, she can't let go of her nervousness." Ai Lun spread her hands to show that this had nothing to do with her.
Qiao Lu went up and punched Ai Lun's shoulder. "Actually, it was you who didn't teach her well, yet you still have the nerve to push all the blame onto me?"
After being hit, Ai Lun looked at her in surprise while covering her shoulder. She said with a face full of disdain, "Little Lu, do you need to be so fierce? 'A girl should be reserved. Be careful that Shan doesn't like you anymore.'"
Qiao Lu De deliberately put on a stern face and said fiercely, "Why do I have to be reserved? You talk so much; is it not enough for me to beat you up?"
Dan Cheng Hao laughed at the side and looked at the time. "Alright, let's call it a day. There are still a few days before the competition. Take this opportunity to practice."
"The two of you can practice when you get home," Ai Lun reminded.
Qiao Lu De picked up his bag, walked out, and said, "Ai Lun, pay attention to your diction. Your family's leader and I will always go back to our own homes and look for our own mothers. Don't just blindly come up with ideas!"
When Qiao Lu De returned home, Qi Jia had already prepared dinner. When she saw the dazzling dishes on the table, she drooled and praised Qi Jia, "Qi Jia, you really know how to lead a good life. Whoever marries you in the future is really his good fortune."
"Quickly wash your hands and come over to eat." Qi Jia smiled as she took off her small apron and said as she filled her bowl with rice, "I haven't cooked in a long time. It's been so hard for me to relax, so I decided to practice my cooking skills. Try it later and see if the taste has regressed."
"Alright!" Qiao Lu De washed his hands and sat at the dining table. He rubbed his hands and said, "It's been a long time since I last ate any home-cooked dishes. Every time I come home, I would come in a hurry and leave."
Qi Jia sat beside her and picked up food for her with a smile, "Come, have a taste. Your favorite persimmon fried eggs."
Qiao Lu De ate happily, raised his thumb and said, "Yes, delicious."
After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Qiao Lu De said to Qi Jia: "Seeing that you have made me a delicious meal, let me tell you a piece of good news. Do you want to hear it?"
"Don't keep me in suspense. If you want to say it, just say it." Qi Jia did not buy it.
Qiao Lu chuckled, "Lu Jingyan, I heard from Dan Cheng Hao that he's overseas. Director Dan told you to go to work tomorrow. "
"Really?" Qi Jia's hand that was holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly, "Did Dan Cheng Hao say when Lu Jingyan will return? It would be better if he stayed abroad for a year and a half before returning. "
"We're really thinking the same thing. But CEO Dan said that it is impossible." Qiao Lu said, "Just think of it as a chance that Lu Jingyan gave you. What are you going to do? Think about it carefully. When he comes back from abroad, I don't want to see a game of cat and mouse anymore."
Qi Jia didn't say anything else. After a quick meal, she packed up her things and left. Qiao Lu De saw that she was anxious to return home and teased her: "Girl, looking at you in such a hurry, I really suspect that other than Auntie at home, you are hiding a man! You have to put on a good act, right? Yesterday, you just told Auntie that you were on a long run, but now you're back the next day. Isn't that a little unrealistic?"
"Aiya, it's easy to talk to my mother, but she won't be suspicious. The store has been very busy for the past two days. I'm afraid my mom will be tired, so I have to go back and help her."
Sometimes, Qiao Lu De envied the mother and daughter who relied on each other for survival. They missed each other and thought about each other. They were both the most important people in their lives. On the other hand, he had his mother and father, but none of them cared about him or loved him. His feelings for them could not compare to Qi Jia and her daughter.
Just like that, the days passed by quickly, and soon enough, they arrived at the dance competition held by Ning Yuan Company. The venue was set to be a big banquet hall in a five-star hotel, and the dance would begin at seven o'clock at night.
Before getting off work, Yuan Ke cheered for Qiao Lu De, "The competition tonight is going to be quite exciting!"
"Okay, I will." Qiao Lu De nodded and replied.
Ever since the incident last time, there had been a gap between the two of them, and they were no longer as intimate as before. However, they had been through it on the surface, so it was not impossible for them to get along with each other. Wen Xin Ran also came out of the office and walked to Qiao Lu De's table, saying to her, "Xiao Qiao, you have to perform well tonight. Our Administrative Department will be relying on you! I'll go tonight. You can take my car and we'll leave together."
The matter of the plane ticket was left unresolved, and no one cared about it anymore. However, everyone knew that Wen Xin Ran was called to the office for coffee by Dan Cheng Lie. It was said that she was being scolded badly!
After returning, her attitude towards Qiao Lu had completely changed, and she was no longer allowed to do any chores. Her attitude was also gentle and amiable, looking as if she was about to give him a toast. Everyone had a vague idea of what was going on, and the private discussions also disappeared.
Since Qiao Lu De had a free car to ride, he naturally would not refuse. It was not that she was very willing to take Wen Xin Ran's car, but the hotel was too far away from the company, so it was too expensive to take a taxi, and the subway was too troublesome. It was really inconvenient for her to take the competition clothes with her.
On the way to the hotel, Dan Cheng Lie called Qiao Lu De, "Sister-in-law, have you left yet? I'm waiting for you in the parking lot."
Qiao Lu exclaimed, "Cheng Lie, I'm almost at the hotel. I came here in Manager Wen's car."
Dan Cheng Lie was stunned for a moment before he said, "Damn, I'm going to be scolded by my brother again!"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xin Ran looked at her calmly and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qiao, how long have you been with our big boss?"
Qiao Lu turned his head to look at her and asked back: "Why did Manager Wen suddenly ask about this?"
"Ah, it's fine. I was just curious, so I asked. Don't mind me," Wen Xin Ran laughed out loud.
When they arrived at the hotel, Qiao Lu De first went to the dressing room that was prepared in advance. There were already some people in the dressing room, or they had already changed their clothes. Qiao Lu De found a place to sit down, took out his makeup, and started putting on makeup.
Not long after, someone came in again, but she did not care. It was not until that person was standing behind her and looking at her smiling face in the mirror that Qiao Lu noticed. She narrowed her eyes and drew eyeliner. She muttered, "Aren't you serving the big boss? Aren't you afraid of being scolded for coming to my place?"
Qi Jia moved closer to the mirror and said proudly: "I'm working for the boss right now, why would he say that?"
"Do you want to see my makeup for your boss?" Qiao Lu De asked mockingly, changing his other eye.
Qi Jia nodded, "Not only do you want to put on makeup, but you also want to watch you change your clothes for your boss."
Qiao Lu De looked at her in the mirror and laughed, "Bastard!"
"What else can I do? Just learn from someone." Qi Jia said as she pretended to be helpless.
After Qiao Lu De had finished putting on his makeup, Qi Jia really grabbed her arm and walked out.
Being pulled away, Qiao Lu De asked curiously: "Where are we going?"
"We're going to the VIP room." Qi Jia said ambiguously: "It's inconvenient for people to talk there just now, and it's not good for Dan Cheng Hao to come over either. He's waiting for you there. "
"What are you waiting for me for?"
"What do you think I'm waiting for you for? Of course I'm waiting for you to change your clothes." Qi Jia smiled sinisterly as she walked to the door of a room. She pressed down on the door handle with her hand and pushed Qiao Lu De in.
Dan Cheng Hao was sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed, and was leisurely sitting there. His fingers were tapping on a gift box beside him. When he saw Qiao Lu De come in, his eyes widened. He was surprised by her exquisite makeup.
"Yes, it looks very good," he couldn't help but praise.
Qiao Lu De pursed his lips and smiled. "It's good that it's pretty."
Dan Cheng Hao handed her the gift box beside him and said with a smile, "Prepare well later. Don't embarrass me."
Qiao Lu De sneered, "I was afraid that you would embarrass me." He took the box and asked curiously, "What's inside?"
"A gown prepared for you." Dan Cheng Hao stood up and said, "You can come out after putting it on. I'll wait for you at the door."
Qiao Lu opened the gift box and saw a dress, a pair of shoes, a handbag, and accessories neatly placed inside. When she saw these, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She was very thoughtful of him.
Qiao Lu De's face looked like a peach blossom under the white dress he was wearing. The diamond necklace and earrings were compatible, shining under the light. He walked out with shoes that were neither too tall nor too thin, and stood in front of Dan Cheng Hao.
Dan Cheng Hao looked her up and down, as if he was appreciating his favorite work. He said proudly, "My eyes are really not bad. I knew that this dress would be suitable for you!"
Qiao Lu lowered his head and looked at her curiously. He asked, "How do you know how big I wear?" Then he raised his foot and said, "And these shoes, why did you buy them so well? The size was perfect. It was neither too big nor too small."
Dan Cheng Hao looked at her shocked expression and couldn't help but put his hands on her face. He moved them very close to each other and said gently, "As long as you keep a person in your heart, even if you don't measure her size, you will know everything about her by thinking about her in your mind."
