To Look Around pushed away the cigarette that Li Xue had passed to her. "I don't smoke this stuff."
Li Xue smiled and took a puff of the cigarette. She exhaled a faint minty smoke and blew it on To Look Around's face.
"Cough cough cough …"
To Look Around coughed and waved her hand to disperse the smoke in front of her. "Don't smoke so much. It's not good for your health."
Li Xue smiled and threw the cigarette butt on the ground. She put it out with her foot and smiled. To Look Around's shoulder. "What do you want to eat for lunch? It's my treat."
"Really?" To Look Around blinked. There seemed to be little stars twinkling in her eyes.
Li Xue smiled. "Of course it's true."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they left the detective agency. Before they got into the taxi, Lee Xue turned around and looked at the detective agency with deep meaning in her eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile.
She narrowed her eyes and got into the taxi.
Li Xue's income was not considered high in Binhai City. Her monthly salary was five thousand dollars, which was considered middle class. However, she had chosen the most expensive western restaurant. The average price was around one thousand to one thousand five hundred dollars. For Li Xue, lunch for two had already taken up more than half of her salary.
But Li Xue did not seem to care at all. She even opened a good bottle of red wine.
To Look Around was surprised. Although the Li Xue she knew had never drunk before, but …
Lee Xue poured a glass of wine and gently swirled the red wine in the glass. The red wine was as red as blood, dancing happily in the crystal glass. Her elegant posture was like an ancient European vampire, slowly tasting the blood in the glass.
She put down the red wine glass. To Look Around had a faint smile on her lips. "Why? Is it not to your liking? Why aren't you eating? "
To Look Around blinked her bright eyes. It was as if she did not know Li Xue at all. She had never seen this side of Li Xue.
In his memory, she was very timid. Even if she saw a small worm, she would hide behind it.
But when he saw her again, the adjectives that described her as elegant and cool couldn't be more appropriate.
To Look Around Her, it seemed that she did not know her very well, nor did she know her very well.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" To Look Around Li Xue raised her eyebrows.
To Look Around, she frowned and shook her head slightly. "Nothing, I just feel that you're different from before."
Li Xue smiled. "What's the difference?"
To Look Around, she frowned and scratched her head. "I don't know. Anyway, I feel that you're not the same as before."
Li Xue smiled and moved closer to Gu Panpan. She smiled and said, "That's because I made some minor adjustments."
"Oh?!" To Look Around Li Xue nodded meaningfully. "Is that really the case?"
To Look Around Li Xue saw the waiter serving the steak to her. Her eyes widened. The steak in front of Li Xue was dripping with blood, as if it had just been cut from a live cow.
Li Xue picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of beef, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.
It was as if she was tasting the best delicacy in the world. She slowly closed her eyes with a look of enjoyment on her face.
"Xiao Xue, how well is your steak?" To Look Around Li Xue swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Her eyes seemed to be timid as she looked at Li Xue.
Li Xue put down the fork. When she smiled, blood could be seen between her lips and teeth. She rolled up the napkin, gently tested her lips, and said lightly, "Medium well. How about it? Do you want to try it? It's very good. "
To Look Around Li Xue quickly shook her head. "It's too raw. I can't do it."
…
On the way back to the detective agency, Ye Zi told Yao Anmian to go home and rest. She stood alone on the sidewalk, looking at the endless stream of cars.
She felt that she must have missed something to be in a deadlock.
Last night, Yao Anmian clearly saw her figure reflected in Li Xue's eyes. This meant that after Li Xue returned home yesterday, she never left. With Yao Anmian as a witness, it was very effective for Li Xue.
Thinking about it, Ye Zi didn't even hear her phone ring. She didn't come back to her senses until she crossed the sidewalk. If it weren't for the car honking, she probably wouldn't have come back to her senses.
After crossing the street, Ye Zi realized that her phone was ringing non-stop in her pocket. She took out her phone, looked at the number on Lin Yan's office, and answered the call.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yan asked.
"I just got out of the Municipal Crime Squad. I'm going back to the detective agency," Ye Zi said casually.
On the other end of the line, Lin Yan fell into a short silence. After a while, he said, "Is it because of work again?"
"Of course."
Ye Zi finally realized that Mr. Lin was jealous again.
She pouted helplessly and said with a smile, "What else could I do? Would I have just finished my date with my Brother Chen Mo? "
If Ye Zi could see Lin Yan at that moment, she would have noticed that Lin Yan's face was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds, as if a storm was about to break out at any moment.
Lin Yan gripped the phone in his hand tightly. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a telephone line, Lin Yan would have definitely thrown the phone out.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yan's thin lips opened slightly, and his voice was distant and deep. "Very well, you've successfully angered me. Stand there and wait for me. I'll go over now."
"Lin Yan, I …"
Beep beep beep …
Just as Ye Zi was about to speak, she suddenly realized that Lin Yan had already hung up.
She knew that Lin Yan had smashed his phone in a rage after seeing the photo of her and Qin Fengchi yesterday. Since Lin Yan had left the office, she couldn't contact him anymore. She could only stand outside the crime squad and wait for Mr. Lin.
From time to time, pedestrians passed by her. If they didn't think that she was a plainclothes police officer, they would think that she was a suspect.
This made Ye Zi very embarrassed. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Not long after, a black Audi Q7 stopped in front of Ye Zi. Lin Yan rolled down the window, and a poker face appeared on his face.
"This car …"
Ye Zi walked around the Q7 twice.
This was already Lin Yan's most ordinary car, but it was still particularly eye-catching outside the Municipal Crime Squad.
Ye Zi hurriedly got into the car and looked at Lin Yan with a fawning smile. "Just now, I …"
Lin Yan frowned and said, "Accompany me to buy a phone. I don't like the current one."
He took out a recent phone from his jacket pocket and threw it into the backseat.
"Why? I have a good phone. "Ye Zi glanced at the backseat.
Lin Yan's eyes darkened. He opened his thin lips and said calmly, "Because my assistant entered her personal phone number."
Qin Yuran?!
Ye Zi frowned slightly.
It seemed that she was still thinking of ways to play tricks. This woman was really …
Thick-skinned.
Ye Zi wanted to use these three words to describe Qin Yuran, but after all, she had eaten her brother's meal. As the saying went, one's tongue was tied after eating from others. It was not appropriate for Ye Zi to slander Qin Yuran behind her back.
Fortunately, Lin Yan didn't like it.
Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled. "Okay, we'll get a phone that you're satisfied with later."
"I think the model you're using is not bad." Lin Yan stopped the car, unfastened his seat belt, and walked into the mall with Ye Zi. He bought a phone that was exactly the same as Ye Zi's.
It was already past noon, and Ye Zi's stomach growled from time to time.
Lin Yan chose a western restaurant near the mall to help Ye Zi with her food first.
As soon as they walked into the restaurant, Ye Zi saw To Look Around and Li Xue sitting in the hall. The two of them were chatting and laughing as they ate.
Ye Zi let go of Lin Yan's hand and walked straight over.
"Miss Li, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Ye Zi curled her lips, and her smile was warm and gentle.
Li Xue put down her wine glass, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ye Zi. She nodded and said, "Miss Yeh, are you here for lunch too? Why don't we eat together? "
Ye Zi glanced in the direction of Lin Yan. Her eyes narrowed, and she said in a distant voice, "My boyfriend is here too. I won't disturb you and Panpan."
As she said that, she looked at To Look Around meaningfully.
To Look Around didn't think much of it. She thought that her boss's gaze was inquiring about her work progress. "Boss, I've finished my work. I just had lunch with Xiao Xue. I didn't delay my work."
"Hehe." Ye Zi smiled. She didn't answer To Look Around directly. Instead, she leaned over to Li Xue and said in a low voice, "Miss Li, if I remember correctly, I told you before that Panpan still has work."
Li Xue narrowed her eyes and teased, "It's just lunch. It won't take long. Miss Yeh, why do you care?"
"I don't care. I just feel that …"
As she spoke, Ye Zi's gaze suddenly became fierce. She whispered into Li Xue's ear, "I feel that Miss Li is exuding a dangerous aura. Reminding my employees to stay away is what I should do as a boss."
"Hehe." Li Xue smiled faintly. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip. "What danger could I be in? I'm just an ordinary citizen."
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Can an ordinary citizen come to this kind of western restaurant to eat and chat with his friends less than a day after his boyfriend passed away?"
Li Xue didn't care. She shrugged and smiled at Ye Zi. "I have to remind Miss Yeh that Zhao Yuechao is no longer my boyfriend. To be precise, he is my ex-boyfriend."
"Miss Li, you can say whatever you want." Ye Zi glanced in the direction of Lin Yan.
