Chapter 26

Finally, under Li Yuxuan’s suggestion, he and Zhou Qizhen will work here today and will not go home at night.

The unhappy one is Lin Lin. She finally got away from the sight of the elders at home and was finally able to relax and play. It was like a dream, but a thunderbolt shattered the dream!

Come on! And here came the one she feared the most.

“Didn’t you say that there are friends outside? Call them over to play together!” After hearing what Li Yuxuan said, Lin Lin glared at him. Why did he implicate the little sisters to be monitored together?

Li Yuxuan was speechless. Why did this child act so arrogantly with him.

“Why are you glaring at me? If you have the ability, glare at him!” After speaking, he pointed his finger at Zhou Qizhen.

“Hmph!”

“What? You don’t want to take us to play? Your uncle and I have turned down social engagements to accompany you two, you heartless little thing, it’s so good to be in this private room, it’s so noisy outside.”

“There are delicious food outside, and it’s inconvenient to bring it here.”

Li Yuxuan picked up the tablet on the sofa and handed it to her, “Just tell me what you want to eat, and order from it. Someone will bring it to you. Whether it’s free or at your own expense, just order as much as you want. Your uncle will pay for it today. Is that okay?” 𝙬𝙒𝙬.𝕍𝕆𝙙𝙩𝓦1.𝓒🄲

“Why didn’t you say you would pay the bill?”

Li Yuxuan laughed angrily, “You dead kid, I’m not as rich as your uncle.”

Zhao Jia and Zhao Zhizhi didn’t want to come at first. Zhao Jia has always been a little afraid of Zhou Qizhen’s aura, and Zhao Zhizhi refused to agree when he heard that he was going to play with the famous President Jiang Heng.

But she couldn’t stand Lin Lin’s coquettishness and said that if the two of them didn’t go, then she and Xiao Qiao would be the only ones left to face the big devil, and that if they didn’t go, it would be a lack of friendship.

When Zhao Zhizhi saw the so-called President Jiang Heng, the man who helped Lu Xiaoqiao at the entrance of Haicheng Hotel, he felt bad.

What kind of shocking secret did he discover? He suddenly understood why a busy CEO still had time to come here to see the “child”.

Zhou Qizhen was not surprised when he saw Zhao Zhizhi coming in. As early as the morning of the second day after the two met for the first time in Haicheng, all of Zhao Zhizhi’s personal information was placed on his desk. After confirming that the relationship between the two was indeed as Zhao Zhizhi said, he let Secretary Ding, who was waiting for instructions, go out with confidence.

When everyone arrived, Li Yuxuan said that since there were many people, they would play poker. After dividing into two groups, he explained the rules and methods of playing. The grouping was determined by drawing lots. In the end, Lu Xiaoqiao, Zhao Jia, and Li Yuxuan were in one group, and Zhou Qizhen, Zhao Zhizhi and Lin Lin were in another group.

The bet was that the losing group would give the winning group a hand-peeled hairy crab.

While the cards were being shuffled, Lin Lin ordered some fruit on a tablet and had it delivered. After ordering, she regretted it and said, “Oh no! I can’t eat hairy crabs after eating fruit.” Then she comforted herself, “It’s okay if I eat less!”

Li Yuxuan sneered, “How do you know your group will win? I think our group will definitely win.”

Lin Lin proudly said, “We have my uncle in our group.”

She was not bragging. Her uncle had never lost when playing cards. His brain was like a sophisticated computer and he could easily remember the whereabouts of every card.

Li Yuxuan shook his head and pretended to feel sorry for her, “Haha! What a pity! Who let us have Lu Xiaoqiao in our group?”

Lin Lin didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence. Just as she was about to ask, she was interrupted by the matter of drawing cards.

Lin Lin didn’t understand, but Zhao Zhizhi understood it thoroughly during the game of cards.

The two groups sat alternately, Zhao Zhizhi sat below Lu Xiaoqiao, while Zhou Qi sat above Lu Xiaoqiao. Mr. Zhou could have played a big card to win, but he played the smallest card to pave the way for his sweetheart.

He seemed to have eyes. Whatever his sweetheart wanted, as long as he had it, he would give it to her, even if it meant breaking the cards to make her smile.

He didn’t dare to say a word the whole time, and ate Zhou’s dog food silently.

Win or not, his girlfriend can also eat the crab meat peeled by hand. Fortunately, the couple split into two groups and did not lose, otherwise they would have lost a lot.

By noon, the winner and loser were also clear.

Lu Xiaoqiao was obviously very excited, “Who of you three will peel the crab for me.”

Li Yuxuan said, “I want to eat Lin Lin peeled crab today.”

After he said that, Lin Lin rolled her eyes.

Zhao Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Qizhen and said hurriedly, “I must have served my girlfriend.”

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Qizhen and said with a smile, “Then Mr. Zhou, only you can serve me. Sorry, you have to be mentally prepared in a while, I can eat eight crabs.”

After a morning of running-in, the few of them had already blocked the gap between the elders that usually stood between them, and they spoke more casually.

Zhou Qizhen raised his eyebrows slightly, with an obvious smile in his deep eyes. Then, he threw away the cards in his hand and said softly: “I’m honored to serve you.” 𝙒𝕎𝙒.𝕍𝙊🅳𝕋𝙒1.ℂ🄲

Several people used the tablet to select some dishes from the menu and ordered twenty hairy crabs. There was only one bathroom in the box, and Lin Lin hadn’t come out yet. She said she wanted to wash her face to get rid of the bad luck of losing. Zhao Jia also wanted to go to the bathroom, so Zhao Zhizhi accompanied her out.

When they walked out of the door and passed a deserted place, Zhao Zhizhi looked back. After making sure that no one could hear him, he lowered his voice and said to Zhao Jia: “Did you see? Xiao Qiao is quite amazing! She can even win over such a big shot.”

Zhao Jia was confused, “What do you mean?”

Zhao Zhizhi wanted to say it more tactfully, but was afraid that she wouldn’t understand because of her straightforward personality, so he just said directly: “It’s this Mr. Zhou who likes our Xiao Qiao.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

“Which eye of yours is that looking at you?”

The scolded Zhao Zhizhi said wrongly: “Don’t disbelieve me, let me tell you, the last time I went to Haicheng to find you, I saw that he looked at Xiao Qiao with a strange look in his eyes. I wanted to ask you about it, but then I forgot about it.”

Zhao Jia still didn’t believe it and rolled her eyes at him, “Lin Lin and Xiao Qiao are classmates. They helped a lot in school. The elders of the Zhou family all like Xiao Qiao. We all know this. If you don’t believe me, ask Momo.”

Seeing that she still didn’t believe what he said, Zhao Zhizhi sighed and said, “Can you and Momo add up to 250? If Mr. Zhou doesn’t like Xiao Qiao, I’ll take off my head and let you two kick it like a ball.”

“Get lost! What do I need your head for?”

“Forget it, forget it, I won’t say anything. If you don’t believe me, just watch it yourself. You will understand it if you observe it.”

When the two of them went back, the staff had already brought the dishes. They sat down in the seats reserved for them. Lu Xiaoqiao raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, “You three crab peelers, eat something first and then work, otherwise I’m afraid you will be tired later.”

After the meal, they talked and laughed, and then peeled crabs for their respective service objects. Lu Xiaoqiao was just happy, but when she really asked her to eat the crab meat handed over by Zhou Qizhen, she still felt a little embarrassed.

“Is it true that I eat it? “

Zhou Qizhen lowered his eyes and smiled, “Is there any pretending to eat? But I can only eat three at most, it’s too cold.”

“Ah? Then I’m at a loss, I can usually eat eight at most.” Then he pursed his lips and chuckled, with a cunning flash in his eyes, “Boss Zhou, do you want to be lazy?”

“You can owe it first, and I’ll peel it for you when you want to eat it.” Zhou Qizhen himself didn’t know how doting he was when he said this.

After dinner, Zhou Qizhen asked someone to bring a pot of tea. This action made Lu Xiaoqiao feel the difference between him and herself and her friends, because tea was something that only her father of that age would like to drink.

Lin Lin said she wanted to watch a movie, and because it was a projector, she turned off all the lights in the room.

Fortunately, the sofa was spacious and long enough. Although it was a little tight for several people to sit on it, it was fully accommodated. When they sat down, Lu Xiaoqiao realized that Zhao Jia was on her left just now, why was it replaced by Zhou Qizhen?
