Li Xiaoyao asked curiously, "What’s going on? Why do you look so pale?"
Zhuo Yi gave a wry smile and shook her head, "I didn’t sleep all night, so I’m not feeling great."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao knew sothing must have happened to Zhuo Yi and asked, "Do you want my help with sothing? Just say it, as long as you’re not asking to pluck the stars from the sky, I’m good."
After hearing his words, Zhuo Yi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "It’s not that difficult, I just want you to pretend to be my boyfriend to deal with soone."
Li Xiaoyao asked in surprise, "You don’t need to deal with your parents, do you?"
Zhuo Yi shook her head, "My ex-boyfriend."
Well, this was getting complicated, but Li Xiaoyao quite liked it.
He had always thought that Zhuo Yi, like Zhang ng, was single, but it turned out she already had a boyfriend. However, that wasn’t an issue since she was asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend, which ant she was looking to break up.
How great was that? Li Xiaoyao liked to flirt with these girls whenever he could, and it was guilt-free when they were single.
Li Xiaoyao stood up and said, "As a man, it’s my duty to help a beauty in need. Tell , what do you need to do?"
Zhuo Yi replied, "Just accompany to have lunch with him later at noon, that’s all."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Is that guy still clinging to you and refusing to break up?"
Zhuo Yi hesitated for a few seconds, nodded, and then said, "I’ll head to work first. I’ll co get you at noon."
After Zhuo Yi left, Li Xiaoyao went back to mulling over how to make money.
His salary wasn’t low, earning twice as much as an individual, which added up to sixty or seventy thousand.
But Li Xiaoyao felt that it was still not enough. Back when he was a rcenary abroad, he could easily make millions, and that was in Yunuo currency.
It’s easy to adapt from frugality to luxury, but hard to revert to frugality from luxury.
As he pondered about making money, ti passed, and before he knew it, it was already half-past eleven in the morning.
Zhuo Yi knocked and entered the room. She had changed into a deep blue dress that accentuated her figure.
Zhuo Yi forced a smile and said, "Director Li, shall we go?"
Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "Don’t call ’Director Li.’ Just call by my na, or you can call Brother Li if you prefer."
Zhuo Yi’s cheeks reddened slightly as she said, "You’re a year older than , so I’ll call you Brother Li."
Li Xiaoyao smiled and stood up, saying, "Let’s go."
Seeing that Li Xiaoyao was still wearing the jeans and white shirt from the ti of his job interview, Zhuo Yi felt a bit speechless, thinking that he should dress better now that he was at least at the general manager level.
However, Zhuo Yi didn’t want to say it outright, so she gently suggested, "Aren’t the clothes the company ordered for you ready yet?"
Li Xiaoyao let out an ’Oh’ and said, "You didn’t remind , I totally forgot. The clothes were delivered early and are in the closet."
Zhuo Yi asked, "Why don’t you change into it? Director Lan pays a lot of attention to personal appearance in the company. If she sees you not in formal attire, she’ll definitely have so thoughts."
"Director Lan is quite demanding, huh," Li Xiaoyao muttered, "Let’s go have lunch first, I’ll change when we co back."
The two left the office, took the elevator downstairs, and Zhuo Yi drove Li Xiaoyao to a Western restaurant.
Zhuo Yi’s car was a bright red Volkswagen CC, a model with soft lines and a very feminine design. But Li Xiaoyao felt that Zhuo Yi would be more suited to sothing like a Land Rover or Jeep, the kind of off-road vehicle.
With her figure and temperant, driving that kind of car would probably feel more fitting.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a Western restaurant.
Both of them got out of the car, and Li Xiaoyao had only walked a few steps when Zhuo Yi suddenly ca up to him and took his arm.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhuo Yi in surprise, and Zhuo Yi gave him a slight smile, saying, "Let’s go all out in our act."
Li Xiaoyao laughed, thinking this woman was quite interesting.
From the mont the two got out of the car, a man sitting at the table by the glass window on the second floor of the restaurant had been watching them.
When they went upstairs and arrived at the window seat, Zhuo Yi softly introduced to Li Xiaoyao, "This is Liu Ming." Then she turned to Liu Ming and said, "This is Li Xiaoyao, my boyfriend."
Liu Ming was about one ter eighty, with a muscular build that suggested he worked out regularly. He was handso, and at the mont, his eyes bore a hint of anger when he looked at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao rely glanced indifferently at Liu Ming and, after sitting down with Zhuo Yi, chuckled softly and said, "So you’re Liu Ming? I’ve heard Zhuo Yi ntion you. There’s sothing I ca here to discuss today."
With a frosty expression on his face, Liu Ming asked, "What is it?"
Li Xiaoyao poured himself a cup of tea leisurely and said, "Starting today, stop contacting my Zhuo Yi. I don’t care what your past was like, but from now on, I hope you’ll stop harassing her."
Liu Ming’s face grew even more furious as he said, "I’ll give you a choice, too. Stand up from your seat now and get out imdiately, or else..."
Li Xiaoyao asked with a smile, "Or else, what do you plan to do?"
A cold glint flashed in Liu Ming’s eyes, "Otherwise, I’ll have you lying in the hospital for a few days."
Li Xiaoyao suddenly laughed, "Quite the big talk."
Liu Ming glared at Li Xiaoyao and said, "You can try and see if I’m all talk."
Zhuo Yi, seeing that the two n might start fighting at any mont, quickly stood up and said to Liu Ming, "You see, I already have a boyfriend now, so please stop contacting in the future."
After speaking, Zhuo Yi took Li Xiaoyao’s hand with a clingy look and said, "Let’s go back."
Li Xiaoyao gave Liu Ming a look that clearly said, "You think you can compete with for a woman?"
The two left the restaurant, and Liu Ming sat upstairs, watching through the glass as Zhuo Yi drove away, with the anger in his eyes peaking. Clenching his teeth, he muttered, "If I can’t have her, nobody else can either."
In the car, Li Xiaoyao asked, "How did you two et?"
Zhuo Yi answered, "Online, he’s the one who added ."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "How long have you known each other?"
"Two months."
"Then why did you break up?"
Zhuo Yi sighed and said, "One day, I was driving past a hotel and saw him coming out with a girl. I followed them and eventually saw him drop the girl off at the subway station and give her a big stuffed doll. Then I broke up with him."
Li Xiaoyao really wanted to ask if they had ever slept together, but after so thought, he decided not to. He felt Zhuo Yi was quite a conservative girl, and it was unlikely that she would sleep with a man after only two months of acquaintance.
Moreover, if they had really slept together, Zhuo Yi wouldn’t have broken up with him so resolutely.
Li Xiaoyao comforted her, "There are so many good n in the world, you’ll et one."
Zhuo Yi managed a weak smile, "I hope so."
