Chapter 288: Chapter 288 staying here is a hindrance
In the end, Xu Wanwan booked a middle-class restaurant near the Li Corporation.
She walked in arm in arm with Lin Jiannan. Before they sat down, they saw a familiar figure sitting by the window.
The man was wearing a light-colored shirt with his sleeves up to his arms. His cool and handsome side profile looked even better under the light. Sitting opposite him was a man with a refined temperament.
The two of them were talking about something. During their conversation, they could occasionally hear a burst of laughter,
xu Wanwan and Lin Jiannan were both stunned on the spot.
“Wanwan, why do I feel that those two people look a little like doctor song and Big Ceo Li?”
Xu Wanwan was still calm. She pulled her over and said, “I’m treating doctor song to a meal today. He will definitely come.”
As for Li Jingran coming here, it was Dr. Song’s idea.
She walked over quietly and sat down beside Li Jingran, leaving the seat next to Song Qingchen for Lin Jiannan.
“Dr. Song, I was delayed by something. Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“It’s okay.”Song Qingchen looked at Xu Wanwan and then quickly moved his eyes away from Lin Jiannan’s face.
“I’ve already ordered the dishes in advance. Doctor song, do you want to add more?”Xu Wanwan pushed the menu to song Qingchen very seriously.
Song Qingchen felt a little uncomfortable. He looked up and saw Li Jingran’s gloomy gaze.
He cleared his throat. “It’s okay.”
“Okay then. What kind of wine do you want to drink?”
“I don’t drink.”
Xu Wanwan smiled. “Then I’ll order some fruit juice.”
Li Jingran sat up unhappily and glanced at the girl. He said leisurely, “Aren’t you going to ask me what I want to drink?”
Xu Wanwan suddenly realized that Li Jingran was still there. She looked at the man apologetically. “What do you want to drink?”
“Nothing,”Li Jingran said through gritted teeth. His voice was cold.
Xu Wanwan had always been sensitive, so she could immediately tell that there was something wrong with the man’s tone.
However, she could not understand what she had done. She had only invited doctor song to dinner. Could it be that he was angry because of this?
In front of so many people, it was not appropriate for her to explain directly. She quietly took back the menu and was ready to call the waiter to serve the dishes.
At this time, Lin Jiannan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, “Wanwan, I want to drink!”
Xu Wanwan was surprised for a moment. Then, when she saw the hint in Lin Jiannan’s eyes, she instantly understood and asked the waiter to order two more bottles of wine.
During the official meal, Lin Jiannan sat next to song Qingchen. She did not know what to feel in her heart.
The person she liked was right in front of her, but she did not have the courage to take the initiative to say a word. Coupled with the excitement in her heart, she did not even have the confidence to peek at the man.
During the meal, she kept drinking, one cup after another, as if she was trying to hide her feelings with alcohol.
Just as she was about to drink her third cup, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and then the bottle of wine in her hand was pulled away by a well-defined hand.
She looked at the hand on her wrist and was slightly stunned. After she came back to her senses, she looked up at song Qingchen, and her face instantly turned red.
The man’s expression was very calm. He calmly put the wine bottle aside and said, “Drinking is harmful to the body.”
Lin Jiannan was ecstatic.
He… was he concerned about her?
He was definitely concerned about her!
Xu Wanwan happened to be helping Li Jingran with his food. At this moment, she could not take her eyes off him. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She always felt that doctor song’s gaze on Lin Jiannan was somewhat meaningful.
Lin Jiannan had a very happy meal. Ever since song Qingchen took her wine bottle, she had gradually started to talk to men.
“Doctor song, you doctors are usually very busy, right?”
Song Qingchen’s eyes darkened a little. “More relaxed than Li Jingran.”
“When the research institute is free, I will go to the medical university to give lectures, so I have more freedom.”
Lin Jiannan’s eyes lit up, and then she praised, “Doctor song, you have such high achievements at such a young age. You’re really amazing.”
“Many students are very excited that you came to our school to teach today.”
Hearing this, song Qingchen suddenly pursed his lips.
He still remembered that when he first met Lin Jiannan, she was drunk and her personality was not restrained at all. There was no resemblance between her and now.
At that time, she was still pestering him for wechat, but now she was actually flattering him.
Seeing him smile, Lin Jiannan was momentarily immersed in his perfect profile, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. “Dr. Song, you look so good when you smile.”
When she said this, she had no intuition at all, as if the alcohol drove her brain to stop thinking and say whatever she wanted to say.
This sentence directly made song Qingchen uncomfortable. He picked up the cup in front of him and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
Li Jingran saw this scene and laughed inappropriately. He looked at song Qingchen with a meaningful gaze.
After a moment, he glanced at Xu Wanwan. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
“Go Home Now?”Xu Wanwan subconsciously glanced at Lin Jiannan. She was worried about leaving her alone.
Li Jingran saw the girl’s innocent face. He curled his thin lips and whispered into her ear, “Is it okay for us to stay here?”
Xu Wanwan blinked and understood what Li Jingran meant.
However, she was still a little worried. “But if I leave, Jiannan will be alone…”
“Don’t worry, my friend is still quite upright,”Li Jingran said lightly and pulled her hand to stand up.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She smiled at Song Qingchen and Lin Jiannan. “Sorry, we still have something to do. We’ll take our leave first.”
Song Qingchen got up and was about to leave. “I have something to do too. Let’s go together.”
Lin Jiannan was stunned alone. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Li Jingran glanced at song Qingchen coldly. “Send her home.”
After that, he waited for Xu Wanwan to leave.
Song Qingchen was a little displeased by her commanding tone. However, Lin Jiannan was Xu Wanwan’s friend after all. No matter what, she could not be left here alone.
“Let’s go. I’ll send you back.”Song Qingchen picked up the coat on the back of the chair and said in an indifferent tone.
Lin Jiannan had a smile on her face the whole time. She was even happier in her heart. She followed the man and got into the car obediently.
There were only two people in the car. The warm air was very comfortable. She felt dizzy after drinking. She held her chin and looked at song Qingchen over and over again.
She didn’t know how this man grew, and almost every part of his body was in her aesthetic point.
When the car arrived at her door, song Qingchen stepped on the brake and turned around to see the girl’s straight eyes. “You’re home.”
“We’re here so soon?”Lin Jiannan couldn’t accept it for a moment, so she said carefully, “Can we talk for a while more?”
