Chapter 29: Traveling to Jiangnan
Wen Baijing was driving in the downtown area. On the outdoor LED screen of the mall, a promotional video with the slogan "Love is precious, diamond ring is indispensable" was playing. Modeled balloons were placed at the door of the shops on the street.
The festive bouquets in the flower shop have been wrapped, and riders are constantly coming in and out.
The streets are crowded with vehicles and people. Couples are walking hand in hand on the road, and the air is filled with sweetness.
"Hey! Capitalist, it's the weekend today, I don't have to work! Can you let me have a good rest?" Lu Yu sat in the passenger seat, his words full of resentment.
Wen Baijing leaned his left hand against the car window and said calmly: "It's not good enough for the boss to be your driver, just be content!"
Faced with Wen Baijing's shameless behavior, Lu Yu widened his eyes in shock.
Lu Yu covered his chest with his hands and said, "I won't argue with you. Today is May 20th. Where are you taking me?"
Wen Baijing does not have the habit of being a homosexual, and Lu Yu, such a dramatic genius, should really become an actor.
He looked at Lu Yu with disdain on his face, "Be more normal, please! I'll introduce this beautiful lady to you."
Lu Yu looked up and down at Wen Baijing, half believing and half doubting:
"You'll introduce me to some pretty ladies?"
Wen Baijing said expressionlessly: "Yes!"
Lu Yu tilted his head, "Is there anything wrong with you recently?"
Wen Baijing refused to tell him. He suffered from insomnia and was anxious every day. He was trying to cure his gossipy soul.
Lu Yu didn't give up and continued to ask: "You seem a little strange recently, what happened?"
Wen Baijing said calmly, "What's wrong with me? We see each other every day at work, what's the problem?"
Lu Yu looked at him suspiciously, his eyes sharp, "We have known each other for so many years! I think I know you very well."
Wen Baijing drove the car steadily, with a faint smile flashing across his face.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the parking lot. Wen Baijing followed the car in front of him into the underground parking lot and finally found a parking space.
Lu Yu was in the car, thinking. Wen Baijing took out the lipstick from the storage box and said, "Get out of the car!"
The two walked towards the elevator, and Lu Yu grabbed Wen Baijing's wrist, "Take me to meet your girlfriend?"
Wen Baijing shook off Lu Yu's hand and said, "You will know soon."
I took the elevator to the Genting Café on the sixth floor. The areca palms at the door were swaying gently, and beautiful and soothing saxophone music was ringing in my ears.
The two of them sat by the window, and there was a dazzling red rose on the coffee table.
"Are you so sure that I have no plans today?" Lu Yu looked unhappy.
Wen Baijing picked up the iced Americano and said, "If you really have plans, how could you come with me?"
Lu Yu was speechless for a moment. He rolled his eyes and sighed, "This time next year, someone will definitely celebrate the festival with me!"
Wen Baijing remained noncommittal. It is easy to get slapped in the face when setting a flag. Young people are just frivolous.
"You don't believe it?" Lu Yu frowned.
Wen Baijing smiled briefly, turned his head and looked out the window. Festivals embellished life, people were crowded together, and laughter filled the air.
Li Jiao sent a message to Wen Baijing early in the morning, saying that she accidentally left her lipstick on his car yesterday and asked him to meet today. He couldn't refuse because of his upbringing. His grandfather was obviously trying to bring them together. Moreover, as a businessman, he couldn't offend people easily unless necessary.
As for whether they were willing or not, it was not important. He just had to save face and treat it as a reunion of elementary school classmates. He pulled Lu Yu over because he didn't want to refuse too obviously and lose face for both of them.
On the coffee table, the black lipstick shell was emitting a fine dark red glow.
Lu Yu was dazzled by the cherry-colored light. He squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Lipstick? Progress so fast? Did you leave the lipstick at your house?"
Wen Baijing glanced at him, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
The phone rang, it was Li Jiao calling.
She was standing in the coffee shop with a phone in her hand. She had delicate makeup, wavy hair, and was wearing a blue silk dress.
Wen Baijing raised his hand and gestured, "Here."
She walked over slowly as everyone looked at her sideways, "Hello, Brother Bai Jing!"
Wen Baijing stood up, "Okay," he picked up Lu Yu, "Let me introduce you, this is my elementary school classmate Li Jiao, who studied fashion design. This is our company's vice president Lu Yu."
Li Jiao smiled and shook hands with Lu Yu, "Hello!"
"Hello there!"
The three of them sat down, and Lu Yu looked at Li Jiao carefully. He joked to Wen Baijing, "When did you have such a beautiful classmate?"
The waiter came over and Li Jiao said with a smile, "Mocha, thank you."
Wen Baijing smiled and said, "It's quite beautiful." Anyway, you won't have the chance to see it when the snot bubbles come out.
Li Jiao felt a little embarrassed by the compliments from the two men, "Please don't try that on me, please!"
"I'm not lying! You are really beautiful." Lu Yu explained with a smile, "Bai Jing hasn't brought a girl out for many years..."
Wen Baijing rolled her eyelashes downwards, turned her head, and looked at Lu Yu with an undetectable smile.
Realizing that he shouldn't discuss old things, Lu Yu swallowed his words and coughed dryly.
"Which school is the beauty from?" Lu Yu changed the subject calmly.
Li Jiao saw the exact behavior of the two people opposite her, and she replied calmly: "Studying in Italy is not a good school."
If the other person doesn't want to respond, there's no need to make yourself unhappy.
Lu Yuqi smiled, stopped talking, and just lowered his head to drink coffee.
The waiter brought the mocha and said, "Enjoy your meal!"
Li Jiao glanced at the roses nonchalantly, playing with the coffee cup with her fingers, "Brother Bai Jing, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Wen Baijing put down the coffee cup, "It's okay," he pushed the lipstick in front of Li Jiao, "I'll give it back to you."
Li Jiao took the lipstick lovingly and said, "Thank you."
Lu Yu tilted his head and looked at Wen Baijing with a smile like a spectator.
Wen Baijing chose to ignore Lu Yu. He was too lazy to explain, and besides, the explanation was not to Lu Yu.
After dinner last night, he sent Li Jiao home as instructed by his grandfather. He had no idea how the lipstick got on the car.
He was too lazy to find out whether Li Jiao dropped her lipstick on purpose.
"Brother Bai Jing, asking you out today won't interfere with your business, right?" Li Jiao said with a smile, her words hinting at something.
Today is the weekend, which happens to be May 20th. Li Jiao's question was very subtle.
Wen Baijing's dark eyes were bottomless, and he raised the corners of his mouth without changing his expression.
A message came from the florist.
[Mr. Wen, the Powder Snow Mountain you reserved has been delivered to the front desk. Thank you for your patronage! ]
"Lu Yu, please accompany Li Jiao to dinner! A client wants to discuss something with me." Wen Baijing said calmly. He stood up calmly with his phone in hand. "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I have to leave first. Order whatever you want to eat tonight. I'll pay for it."
"Hey!" Lu Yu was about to stand up when he was pushed back by Wen Baijing.
"Keep Li Jiao company, I have something to do." Wen Baijing squeezed out these words through his teeth.
Then he turned to Li Jiao and said apologetically: "I'm leaving first. Sorry."
"Brother Bai Jing..." Li Jiao looked shocked.
Wen Baijing strode out the door, leaving the two people stunned.
Lu Yu was very depressed and could only vent his anger by making Wen Baijing bleed more.
"Beauty, what do you want to eat tonight? Let's give him a good meal and teach him a lesson..."
