Trapped with the CEO Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Marry an Old Man

After Li Family went bankrupt, Yu Wanwan, who treats work as her life, didn't go to work in a couple of days. She, together with Lu Zixi, a.s.sisted in the funeral of Li Qianluo's grandma and other affairs.

On the day when Li Qianluo disappeared, Yu Wanwan merely went home to get changed. But she came back, only to find Li Qianluo moved out of the villa, and she failed to contact Li Qianluo in the following days. Lu Zixi asked his friends to look for her, but in vain. Yu Wanwan had been worried that she may commit suicide since then. When Yu Wanwan saw Li Qianluo in the cafe, safe and sound, she hugged her tightly.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry for making you worry." Li Qianluo said with tears in her eyes, as she knew how Yu Wanwan felt at that moment. She is so lucky that she still has two real friends. So lucky.

"Where have you been? I was so afraid...afraid that..." Yu Wanwan just could not take the three words out of her mouth.

"You silly old fool! I won't do that, as I still have dad and you." In fact, she kinda wanted to take her own life on the day her father left. But she fainted later. So it had to be dropped.

"Tell me where you've been. How were you doing? I saw your Weibo post when I was on my way here. You are married?" Yu Wanwan wiped her tears, calmed down, and sat opposite to Li Qianluo.

Yu Wanwan really feels sorry for Li Qianluo. It is well known to everyone in D City that she once lived a very happy and glamorous life.

Li Qianluo and Ye Lingling, her deadly foe, are two recognized beauties in the upper cla.s.s in D City. Li Qianluo is outgoing and vivacious, while Ye Lingling is cold and elegant.

They have countless pursuers. As is known to all, Li Qianluo was once like a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. Only G.o.d knows why she fell in love with Qi Zeming, who is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d indeed.

"I'm doing great these days. And I truly get married. Bless me!" Li Qianluo tried very hard and seriously to smile, as she wanted to look happy.

Then Li Qianluo told Yu Wanwan what happened in the past few days briefly. When speaking of Si Jinheng, she mentioned, "He is really good to me. But I just cannot figure out why."

Yu Wanwan frowned while listening. It is dramatical. Is it a blessing in disguise to encounter that man? "Qianluo, you made a careless decision. Though you spent first night together, you are strangers to each other, right?"

This had occurred to Li Qianluo, too. But she has been driven to the wall, hasn't she?

They chatted for a long time. It was getting dark outside, and they went to have hot pot together. Li Qianluo was so happy. Before they separated, Li Qianluo said: "Where do you work now? I want to work with you."

"I am selling clothes in a mall now. You...forget it!" Yu Wanwan looked at Li Qianluo who was still well-dressed, thinking that she'd better not work there. The salary is not low indeed. But no pain no gain.

"Why? I will go to find you there tomorrow or later. Remember to ask your supervisor first to check if he is hiring someone." Li Qianluo drove Yu Wanwan home, and didn't leave until she saw Yu Wanwan walk upstairs.

Li Qianluo took out her phone to check the time. It was nine o'clock. She made a call to Lu Zixi.

"See you at the same place in SOHO Bar." Li Qianluo hung up the phone, before Lu Zixi spoke. They could have a talk when they meet.

In the SOHO Bar.

The nightlife has just begun. So the bar was not bustling with guests yet. Under the dim and flickering light, several people were pa.s.sionately dancing to the music with strong drumbeats and clash of heavy metal.

Li Qianluo ordered a cup of c.o.c.ktail. The bartender gently swayed himself, and gracefully and flexibly rotated the mixer in his hand. Within just one minute, the bartender served Li Qianluo the c.o.c.ktail with a lemon.

Li Qianluo held the cup, sipped the c.o.c.ktail, and found a dim corner to sit in.

Ten minutes later.

After parking his motorcycle, Lu Zixi walked quickly in the bar, and found the acquainted one at the usual place, feeling a little relief.

"Waiter!" Lu Zixi sat down, and ordered a cup of c.o.c.ktail like Li Qianluo's.

Lu Zixi carefully looked Li Qianluo, who was smiling slightly, up and down and the bling-bling diamond ring on her hand. He was glad to see that she remained the same as before.

Hey, aren't you gonna explain to me what happened?" Lu Zixi fixed his messy red hair, from which Li Qianluo could tell that he came here with his motorcycle at top speed. He wore a new skull-shaped earring on the right, which shone in a quirky way.

"Explain what? I get married, just as you see." Li Qianluo wore a smile of self-mockery. She can be deemed very unfilial in a way as she got married not long after her grandma pa.s.sed away.

Lu Zixi said with a tight frown, "Li Qianluo, you are unapt to degenerate like this! It's nothing to be broke. You can earn money. If you don't know how, my girlfriend and I can manage to support you. How could you just find some guy and get married?" What Lu Zixi said delighted Li Qianluo somewhat. Alas! She knew that Yu Wanwan and this younger brother are the best persons!

"Why are you laughing? You aren't a fool now, are you?" Lu Zixi got a nasty shock.

"Go to h.e.l.l. You are the fool! I just feel happy." She feels happy, because she still owns something.

"You are definitely silly! You even feel happy now?" Lu Zixi muttered while looking at Li Qianluo blankly.

"Waiter, a bottle of Royal Salute, please! Lu Zixi, let's get hammered!" Li Qianluo felt so cheerful that she still got a friend who could accompany and drink with her.

"Hey, hey, hey. A bottle of Royal Salute? That costs me salary of three months or four. You will make me poor!" Lu Zixi cried out. He certainly has some deposits, but the money is used to marry a woman rather than wine this woman.

"Good boy, don't cry. It's my treat today!" Lu Zixi frequents the bar. Li Qianluo used to enjoy drinks for free when she was with Lu Zixi and what they ordered was not so expensive, unless they order some expensive drinks like this time, which the manager of the bar cannot afford. But he will get a discount anyway.

"Li Qianluo! Where did you get the money?" Lu Zixi stretched out his neck to observe Li Qianluo carefully, not to overlook any of her facial expressions.

"From my husband, of course." Wow, wow, wow. Her husband! Li Qianluo admires herself, as she has the cheek to say that naturally and easily.

A waiter served them the liquor soon. Lu Zixi held it in his arms. He would keep bothering Li Qianluo until she told him the truth.

"Tell me the truth. Do you marry an old man? Otherwise how can you be so rich?" It is normal that Lu Zixi has this suspicion.

Li Qianluo laughed out loud. What kind of expression will show on Si Jinheng's cold face if he knows that someone calls him old man? Li Qianluo looks forward to seeing that.
