Before Si Bo Nian could speak, Lu Enxi took the lead to clarify, "You misunderstood. We are just partners. I am his attorney and have no other connections."
Gu Ya looked at her again with some regret, and gave her a high evaluation in her heart, with regret on her face, "That's it..."
Lu Enxi made up her mind that she had to leave, and if she stayed, she didn't know what clues this shrewd landlady would be able to discern, "Mr. Si, Alex, I have something else to do, so I won't interrupt your meal and will contact you later."
Alex took the initiative to catch up, "I'll send you off!"
When they left the restaurant one after another, Gu Ya shrugged her shoulders and put away the baking plates, "Okay, I'll go in and help too."
Si Bo young and thin lips opened, "Leave the cake."
Gu Ya blinked, "Didn't you say it's too sweet and you don't want to eat it?"
Si Boyian looked at the piece of cake that Lu Enxi took a bite of, and the slight movement of her lips while tasting was replayed in front of him as if he were seeing a ghost, "I'll give you face."
Gu Ya opened her mouth wide in surprise, but now that her husband is not around, she cannot express her shock. Can she wait until Si Bo Nian gives her face in this life?
Then her hard work today was well worth it.
"If you like it, I'll make more. Will you come back tomorrow?"
Si Boyian said, "I don't know."
Gu Ya thought for a moment and said carefully, "The girl who left is pretty good."
Si Bo Nian did not comment, but slowly tasted the dessert bit by bit. His fork drew a circle along the place where Lu Enxi had moved, as if describing the shape of a woman's lips, "How is it good? You have only seen her for ten minutes."
Gu Ya said from experience, "You can judge people more by their eyes. She is a smart and calm girl. I won't go into details about her appearance. Anyone with eyes can see it. This kind of temperament is placed in the entertainment industry."
There are not many that can compare.”
Si Bo Nian tasted the dessert in his mouth and said slowly, "What?"
Three years ago, she met Si Bo Nian for the first time on the streets of England, and was almost beaten to death by a group of street gangsters. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have had a happy life later.
The restaurant she and her British husband now run was also built with Si Baonian's help.
Life-saving grace is equivalent to reincarnation. No tooth can be forgotten.
She remembered that Si Boyian was not in a very good condition at that time. Although he looked noble and did not behave like an ordinary man, he was taciturn and as cold as a popsicle.
It was also during that fateful meeting that she gradually learned that Si Bo Nian was hurt by love, but he never responded directly to it, but was particularly repulsive towards women.
Later, she asked around and around, and gradually confirmed her guess. People who have been hurt in love will not easily fall in love again. Seeing that he is still alone today, Gu Ya is very heartbroken.
Gu Ya thought carefully before speaking, "Actually, you can let go of many things. You don't have to dwell on the past. Look forward. Don't miss the rising sun because of regrets about the falling stars."
Si Boyian stopped what he was doing, and in his rock-black eyes, the light gradually flickered on and off, "There is nothing to regret."
"You are a smart person, but no matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably be emotionally confused. That man named Alex is so attentive to your lawyer. Women can easily become soft-hearted." Gu Ya stopped and said,
I don't want to say anything because Si Bo Nian has deep feelings in his heart and others can't tell.
Si Boyian responded with silence.
My thoughts drifted far away, back to many years ago, then I closed my eyes, brought back the memories, and opened my eyes to see Alex back.
Probably because he was talking about speculation with Lu Enxi, he smiled and said, "William, where are we going?"
Si Bo Nian wiped his hands and gave him a cool look, "What are we? We act alone."
——
Lu Enxi took a taxi back to the hotel and sat on the bench downstairs in a daze.
Every time she meets Si Bo Nian, she has to take some time to digest her emotions, which is not good at all.
"Lawyer Lu? Why are you here?"
Zou Qian was bored in the hotel, so she went downstairs to get some fresh air, and saw Lu Enxi, who was quietly fascinated.
Lu Enxi said, "Look at the stars."
Zou Qian raised her head and saw that there were a few stars, but they were not enough to see. She put her hands behind her back and went there with the mentality of trying to learn something extra, and sat aside, "Is Lawyer Lu in a bad mood?"
Lu Enxi said, "The case has not made the expected progress. Is it wrong to be in a good mood?"
Zou Qian nodded, yes, everyone is at a loss now and doesn't know how to proceed. As the main person in charge, the pressure must be greater, not to mention that Minister Du and the others are still waiting to see the joke.
Suddenly I felt very sorry for Lu Enxi.
At this time, her phone rang, and it was Minister Du.
Zou Qian stepped aside before she dared to answer the question, and said respectfully, "Minister Du..."
Du Junjie's tone was a little anxious, "Master Si has come to Manchester City. He went out without an assistant. Hurry up and book the best hotel in Manchester City for the president. Hurry up!"
Ah? The CEO suddenly attacked? Did he think they were doing something bad and came to question them?
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look right now!"
Zou Qian didn't dare to waste half a second. She picked up her mobile phone and searched the web, sorted by star rating and grade, chose the most luxurious and expensive one, and called to make a reservation.
The hotel staff asked for her passport number. Zou Qian was confused. She came down temporarily without bringing her passport, "Lawyer Lu, did you bring your passport? Minister Du asked me to book a hotel for the president, and I need my passport number."
Lu Enxi frowned and asked Si Bo Nian to book a hotel with her passport?
Moreover, why did Si Bo Nian go around Zou Qian when booking a hotel?
"You go to Mr. Si himself and ask for his passport number. He will check in by himself. Of course, he needs to use his real name."
Zou Qian was not confused now, she wanted to cry, tears were about to come out, "Lawyer Lu, you might as well let me hit the David sculpture and die. Give me a hundred courages, and I wouldn't dare."
Just use your passport number to reserve a seat. It's the peak tourist season and it's hard to book a hotel. Oh, Lawyer Lu, please save my life, otherwise Minister Du will kill me when he goes back."
Lu Enxi didn't let go, "Go upstairs and get it, it won't take more than a few minutes."
Zou Qian shook her arm and said, "It's just a passport number. It doesn't matter. Foreigners have loose check-in requirements, and the president won't know about it. Don't you think we should be very casual when checking in?"
Unable to bear her grinding, Lu Enxi took out her passport.
Zou Qian was very neat. Not only did she use her passport, but she also reserved Lu Enxi's phone number.
Lu Enxi said with a straight face, "Secretary Zou? You are very brave."
Zou Qian clasped her hands together and said pitifully, "I don't know the president's phone number, and... I... I'm afraid of him."
If she had to offend one of the CEO or Lawyer Lu, she would definitely choose the former, at least she wouldn't die.
After receiving the hotel check-in message from Du Junjie, Si Boyian arrived at the hotel with a sullen face.
Really good at getting things done.
Instead of booking him a suite at the hotel where the lawyers live together, they sent him alone to a Holiday Inn a few kilometers away.
What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will randomly check your work?
As a member, I have never been to this hotel again because of a bad stay experience.
Take out your passport and wait at the check-in desk for check-in.
After checking, the staff apologized and said, "Sir, is it me who is checking in?"
Si Bo Nian gave her a look that was so cold that it could freeze on the spot, and said an even colder word, "Yes."
The staff member shivered and was afraid of this Asian customer with a bad face, "I'm sorry, sir, the passport number for the reservation is not your own. Is there your mobile phone number at the end?"
With just one glance, Si Boyian recognized that it was Lu Enxi's number.
"no."
The staff almost said, are you here to check in unexpectedly, but Si Bo Nian's aura forced her to change her words, "Is the person who made the reservation your wife? If your wife hasn't arrived yet, you can wait for her.
After she comes over in a while, we can check in after verification."
Si Bo's long fingers slid across his forehead, "Wait a moment."
Walking to the viewing platform of the reception hall, Si Boyian turned his back to the baroque sculptures and paintings, becoming the dark gothic devil alone, "Lu Enxi, I will give you ten minutes to come to the Holiday Inn."
After saying that, he hung up.
He doesn't care what excuses Lu Enxi has, there must be an explanation for today's oolong.
Based on the current situation, it is easy to infer that Du Junjie delegated the task of booking the hotel to Lu Enxi, and she...didn't know his passport number or couldn't remember his mobile phone number?
What's the point of making it all hers?
If it is to create an opportunity to meet, then the approach would be too clumsy.
When Lu Enxi received the call, she knew that there must be a problem with her check-in. She took a taxi and rushed to the prosperous Holiday Inn. The colorful lights were radiating everywhere, but they could not illuminate the depression in her heart.
Which god did she offend? She had to spar with Si Bo Nian twice a day?
Is it because she is not tired enough?
Walking into the hall, it was easy to see Si Bo Nian sitting on the sofa, who was comparable to the Italian godfather. He had a calm and prominent oriental face. Apart from his handsomeness, he was also more violent.
Lu Enxi's heart sank to the bottom, "Master Si, is there anything I can do to help?"
Si Bo Nian wanted to accuse, but couldn't speak right away.
The Lu Enxi in front of her had wet hair, her shoulders were wet with water drops, her skin was revealed through thin clothing, her upper body was in loose home clothes, with a pair of loose trousers, high heels without socks, and she was holding the same bag from the day in her hand.
.
"Do you dare to go out like this?"
Lu Enxi couldn't stand his tone and sneered, "Master Si only gave me ten minutes, how can I put on full makeup after taking a shower? If Master Si is not satisfied with my appearance, I can go back and clean it up again."
Si Bo Nian's sharp eyebrows formed a small mountain, "Have you brought your passport?"
"Bring it."
Lu Enxi accompanied Si Boyian to the front desk, and the other party asked cautiously, "Are you...husband and wife?"
Lu Enxi glared, what did Si Bo Nian say to them?
"Yes." In order to avoid making any mistakes, she chose to suffer a temporary loss, and deliberately held Si Bo Nian's arm and smiled.
Si Bo Nian lowered his eyes and glanced at her arm, his eyes full of icebergs that seemed to be melting.
Fortunately, the procedures went smoothly. After getting the room card and handing it to Si Bo Nian, Lu Enxi said, "No problem, Mr. Si, go up and have a rest early."
Si Bo Nian grabbed her wrist and pulled her in at the elevator door as soon as the door opened. "You just finished pretending to be my wife and you go out in this image? You don't want to lose face. I don't want to be embarrassed."
