What's wrong with being a salted fish?

It’s still the familiar place, the familiar private room, and the familiar red oil pot.

That’s right, they came to the hot pot restaurant that Lin Zhuo and Wan Linlin visited last time.

Fortunately for Lin Zhuo, he finally ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot today.

The milky white broth was seething in the pot, with pink slices of ham, bright green cucumber slices and some fungi floating on the surface. It smelled incredibly fresh and fragrant, and Lin Zhuo was really greedy.

After accompanying the two of them for a whole afternoon, Lin Zhuo was really hungry.

The fighting power of one woman is already very advanced, not to mention two women.

But Bai Li said she wanted to buy things, but in fact she only bought a few small things, and the rest of the big and small bags were bought for Wan Linlin.

Those who don’t know would think that she and Wan Linlin have a very good relationship. Who would have thought that this was the first time they met.

In Wan Linlin's words, she and Bai Li hit it off from the first sight, which is why they became particularly close.

She said so, what else could Lin Zhuo say? He could only agree with her.

Wan Linlin and Bai Li were sitting opposite Lin Zhuo, and Wan Linlin was hot water for them.

Bai Li was not very picky, but Wan Linlin couldn't bear to see beautiful women living a rough life, so she actively rinsed their bowls carefully with boiling water, which made Bai Li laugh and say that she was not that delicate.

When Wan Linlin suggested eating hotpot, Bai Li did not show any impatience. Instead, she was very cooperative and said that she had no dietary restrictions, which made Wan Linlin unable to help but scream in her heart.

Wan Linlin sincerely thanked Xu Wenhao for discovering such a gentle and beautiful girl like Bai Li, which was a great bargain for her.

Even if we can't be a couple, we can still be sisters, hehe, what a great deal!

According to Wan Linlin, eating is a good time to gossip, so she asked her questions while picking up food for Bai Li.

She really wanted to know the relationship between Bai Li and Xu Wenhao.

Bai Li looked a little surprised when she heard this, and seemed to not understand why Wan Linlin asked Xu Wenhao, but she still answered.

Bai Li said that her relationship with Xu Wenhao was very ordinary. If she had to say there was something special about it, it was that before she went abroad, Xu Wenhao confessed to her that he liked her.

"Is it true? Has he confessed to you?" Wan Linlin almost choked herself while speaking, but she was still choked by the chili oil and let out a deafening cough.

Bai Li was startled, and quickly poured her some water and patted her back: "Why are you so excited?" She paused, as if she had thought of something, and then she tentatively asked Wan Linlin: "Do you like Xu Wenhao?"

Wan Linlin was so shocked that she held back her cough. She grabbed Bai Li's hands with both hands and looked at Bai Li's face with tearful eyes, trying to make her see the sincerity in her eyes: "What you said is too shortcoming for me. Why would I like him when there are so many people I like?"

Lin Zhuo happily took a bite of the fresh beef that had just come out of the pot, and then said, "She only likes beautiful women."

Wan Linlin nodded vigorously: "That's right!"

Bai Li chuckled and took out a tissue to wipe Wan Linlin's tears: "I know, I know."

"Then what? Did you agree?" Wan Linlin recovered, silently loosened her hand, picked up the dishes as if nothing had happened, pretended not to care, and then asked Bai Li.

Bai Li shook her head. She refused at that time.

Not to mention that her family and the Xu family are not that close, and the Xu family seems to be vaguely against the Bai family; and her relationship with Xu Wenhao is not that close either.

At that time, Xu Wenhao's inexplicable confession was also troublesome to her, so there was no way she would agree.

Now, in addition to feeling that Xu Wenhao was unreliable, she also felt that this man was extremely hypocritical.

Upon hearing this, Wan Linlin praised Bai Li for being sober and not being blinded by the scumbag.

She just knew it! The second female lead is the only normal person in this book! Woohoo, she loves it so much!

Lin Zhuo:? What you said is not very polite.

While eating, Lin Zhuo asked Bai Li why he said that. Wan Linlin also expressed her desire to listen, so Bai Li began to tell her the story.

She went abroad to study three years ago. The night before she left, Xu Wenhao, who usually didn't contact her much, suddenly sent her a message on Green Bubble saying that he would come to see her off.

Bai Li felt it was a bit abrupt and refused, but Xu Wenhao didn't listen at all. It could be said that he didn't care about Bai Li's feelings. He thought Bai Li might be shy, so he firmly stated that he would arrive on time the next day. Bai Li said it was not necessary, but Xu Wenhao never replied.

This made Bai Li laugh. Would Xu Wenhao forget that the Xu family had just snatched an order that the Bai family had been preparing for a long time? And they were still sending him off? Their relationship should not be that good!

What Bai Li didn't expect was that not only did Xu Wenhao come the next day, he actually confessed his love to her, saying that he had liked her for a long time and hoped that she could give him a chance.

Bai Li's doubts were about to materialize. The two of them had never even traveled alone, and Green Bubble had never chatted much, but Xu Wenhao said he liked her? What did he like? Did he like this sense of alienation between them?

Bai Li refused immediately and didn't even say that they could be friends.

But Xu Wenhao still didn't listen. In response to Bai Li's refusal, he said it didn't matter. He would give Bai Li time to think about it carefully, and he would wait for Bai Li to come back. After that, he left without waiting for Bai Li's reaction.

There were only four words in Bai Li’s mind at that time: inexplicable!

In the following three years, Xu Wenhao never came to see her once, so Bai Li thought that he might have just said it casually when he said he liked her. In addition, her friend told her some time ago that Xu Wenhao seemed to have a mistress, so she was even more certain that Xu Wenhao was just trying to cast a wider net.

But who would have thought that Xu Wenhao would actually come to pick her up at the airport today. Bai Li didn't know how he knew her itinerary. He was so shameless!

Hearing the word "little love", Wan Linlin's body stiffened, but then she calmly clapped her hands, saying that it was a good thing that Bai Li had a keen eye and could see through Xu Wenhao's inner heart at a glance!

Bai Li was also speechless: "He said he liked me, but he never came to see me once in three years. I just went abroad, not dead. Is the plane ticket so expensive?"

Wan Linlin smiled awkwardly: "Ha, ha, who knows what he is thinking."

At the same time, she was glad in her heart: Fortunately, she told Xu Wenhao's mother about his affair with Xiaoqing, otherwise she might not be able to have dinner with her beautiful sister now, wuwu!

Lin Zhuo was busy eating while listening. When they finished talking, he added, "Maybe he feels that he must have you."

Bai Li was curious: "What do you mean?"

Lin Zhuo said: "He might be more confident and think that you will definitely choose him. Since the result is like this, why should he coax you and give in to you during this period? Anyway, you will be with him in the end."

The male protagonist is the center of the world. He has had a smooth life and takes it for granted that he will get everything he wants, but he never considered that human behavior is uncontrollable.

Wan Linlin snorted: "I think he is shameless!"

Bai Li was also speechless about Xu Wenhao's behavior: "Indeed, in the past three years, he only sent me a message of Happy New Year every New Year. I almost blocked him."

Wan Linlin asked her: "Didn't he even give you a red envelope?"

Bai Li didn't understand Wan Linlin's starting point: "We are not familiar with each other, there is no need for him to send it to me, and I won't accept it anyway."

Wan Linlin shook her head: "He said he liked you but he didn't show any real intention. It's your business if you don't appreciate it, but he's not sincere if he doesn't do it!"

Bai Li said that it didn't matter, and it would be best if Xu Wenhao didn't express anything: "I don't like him, so it's better to say that he is a bit annoying."

Not only Xu Wenhao, the Xu family has also used a lot of tricks in recent years. Since they can't afford to offend the Duan family, they are looking for trouble with the Bai family. This is simply despicable.

In the three years since Bai Li left, the Xu family has taken away a lot of the Bai family's business. Some time ago, they even slandered the Bai family, saying that there were problems with the food under their name, causing many people to suffer from food poisoning. Although the Bai family finally clarified that it was a rumor, it still affected her family's business.

So Bai Li didn’t understand why Xu Wenhao had the nerve to come to the airport to pick her up today. Wasn’t he afraid that she would embarrass him on the spot?

Lin Zhuo wiped his mouth and raised his eyebrows to look at Bai Li: "Do you want to cooperate?"

Bai Li was puzzled: "You and me?"

Lin Zhuo shook his head: "You cooperated with Duan family to deal with Xu Wenhao."

Wan Linlin agreed very much: "He was the first to resort to trickery, so of course he has to allow us to retaliate!"

"That's fine, but the Duan family won't agree, right?" She had no connections in the Duan family.

Wan Linlin clicked her tongue, then formed a semicircle with her hands to try to frame Lin Zhuo, and then introduced her to Bai Li: "This is the wife of the president of Duan Group, Duan Yunqi's wife!"

Lin Zhuo immediately covered his face with one hand, then lowered his head, not wanting to look at Bai Li's expression.

Fuck! Wan Linlin, you are making things awkward for me!

Bai Li was stunned, looked at Lin Zhuo, and said slowly: "You and Duan Yunqi?"

Lin Zhuo still lowered his head, and then said sullenly: "Thank you for the invitation, legal husband and wife."

Bai Li nodded blankly: "Oh, oh oh."

Duan Yunqi's wife is beside me?!

Lin Zhuo raised his head slightly, then looked at her through his fingers: "How about it, do you want to cooperate?"

Bai Li came back to his senses, thought about it for a while, and then nodded seriously: "I have to give him a gift in return."

"I'll tell Duan Yunqi."

"sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome."

......

Lin Zhuo looked at the brightly lit environment, the several wine bottles on the table, and Wan Linlin twisting her body happily on the dance floor, and silently covered his eyes.

Bai Li, who was sitting next to him, sipped the beautiful wine in the goblet at ease. She glanced at the uncomfortable Lin Zhuo and smiled: "Haven't you been here before?"

"..." No matter how you look at it, isn't this a bit of looking down on yourself?

Lin Zhuo supported his forehead, took a sip of wine and said nothing.

Bai Li laughed out loud: "Haha, you're so funny!"

Lin Zhuo drank his wine in a depressed mood. He really didn't understand why there would be a second round?!

It was even a seamless transition. Neither of them discussed it in the car, but they tacitly took Lin Zhuo straight to the bar.

Bai Li said that he had been here many times. This place was opened by people in the circle, so it was relatively private and the entry threshold was high, but the wine was delicious.

After entering, Bai Li opened a booth with ease, ordered several bottles of wine, and opened a bottle of wine she had previously stored.

Lin Zhuo took a look at the wine bottle. It tasted really good. It cost 188,000 yuan a bottle. If it didn't taste good, he would call the police.

It doesn’t matter, it was Bai Li who treated him anyway; at worst, he used Duan Yunqi’s card.

Duan Yunqi had forced this card on him a few days ago, saying that it could be used at will. Lin Zhuo did not refuse and accepted it with peace of mind.

"Why don't you go out and play?" Wan Linlin, who had just finished dancing, came back panting.

She leaned back on the sofa carelessly, put a grape in her mouth and looked at the two of them.

"I just need to drink." Lin Zhuo didn't want to go up and dance so close to others. If Duan Yunqi knew about it, he would be secretly jealous.

"As long as you have fun." Bai Li wiped the sweat off Wan Linlin's face, indicating that she shouldn't worry about him.

Wan Linlin thought about it and leaned on Bai Li's shoulder: "Then I won't go either. I don't want to be so close to others."

There were indeed quite a lot of men dancing, and Wan Linlin didn't want to squeeze in with them, as she would suffocate.

Bai Li poured her a glass of wine: "Try it, I saved some before, it tastes very good."

Wan Linlin sat up straight and drank it in one gulp, then smacked her lips. It tasted really good, sweet without bitterness, with a long aftertaste and a little bit of sweetness.

Seeing that she liked it, Bai Li poured her another cup: "There's more, drink slowly, there's no rush."

After she said that, Wan Linlin began to sip the wine. Then she remembered something: "We've all been drinking. How are we going to get home later?"

You can't be a lawless lunatic, right? If you drive improperly, your loved ones will cry!

Bai Li gestured to her to be at ease: "I have called the housekeeper, don't worry."

Wan Linlin was relieved, and then looked at Lin Zhuo: "What about you?"

Lin Zhuo looked up at her, his eyes full of condemnation: What, did you just say "we" but not me? This is fake sisterhood!

Lin Zhuo turned his head and said sullenly, "Brother Duan, come pick me up."

Wan Linlin's alcohol tolerance seemed average. After two glasses of wine, her face began to feel hot and her head felt a little dizzy. After hearing Lin Zhuo's answer, she leaned back on Bai Li's shoulder and held Bai Li's hand dishonestly.

"I think..."

Bai Li didn't hear what she was saying, so he leaned over and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Wan Linlin said something shocking: "I want a male model!"

Bai Li and Lin Zhuo looked at each other, both of them with fear in their eyes.

Lin Zhuo didn't know what Bai Li was shocked about, but what he knew was why Wan Linlin wanted a man! ? Wasn't she a lesbian?

Then he calmed down again, as if he had never heard of the female model?

Bai Li thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Wan Linlin's request. She waved her hand, and a man came over quickly, then bent down and listened to Bai Li's request.

Lin Zhuo was surprised: You are not serious? !

If Duan Yunqi knew about this, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

But the man had already left, and a few minutes later, he came over with a few men with outstanding looks and good figures.

The man asked them to stand in a line so that Bai Li could choose.

It was also the first time for Bai Li to do such a thing. She did not choose. Then she went to shake Wan Linlin, wanting to ask about her preferences, but found that Wan Linlin had fallen asleep.

What horrified Lin Zhuo was that Duan Yunqi was actually standing at the end of the row of men, staring at him with a smile on his face.

Lin Zhuo was puzzled: No! Why are you mixed in with them? Wait, let me explain!
