I'm in love

The next morning, Fan Shengmei got up early, bathed, dressed, put on makeup... She took every step very carefully. She picked out her favorite dress, put on a delicate makeup, and put on a pair of beautiful earrings. She dressed herself up from head to toe and looked very charming before going out to the restaurant.

When Fan Shengmei walked into the restaurant, Qu Lianjie was already sitting at the table waiting for her. Seeing Fan Shengmei coming, Qu Lianjie's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Don't save money for me, Miss Fan."

Fan Shengmei smiled and replied, "I eat very little and I'm trying to lose weight." Then she looked at the menu and ordered a plate of fried asparagus and a plate of Spanish seafood soup.

After the waiter wrote down the dishes, Qu Lianjie shook his head, thinking that Fan Shengmei's order was too simple. He took the menu and continued to order: "Here, add two servings of French oysters, two servings of beef ribs, two servings of oxtail soup, and for dessert, I want your most distinctive cheesecake. Oh, and open a bottle of 1998 Mouton, thank you!" After saying that, he handed the menu back to the waiter with a satisfied smile on his face.

The waiter smiled and replied: "OK, please wait a moment."

Fan Shengmei looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the menu and said softly, "There are only two of us. We may not be able to finish ordering so much."

Qu Lianjie looked at her gently and said, "It's okay, as long as you like it, it's fine to order more."

Qu Lianjie seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, tomorrow is the weekend, do you have any special plans?"

Fan Shengmei shook her head and said helplessly, "I work all week and have no time to take care of the chores at home. I usually can only stay at home and do housework on weekends."

After hearing this, Qu Lianjie suggested: "Work is important, but we should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. How about giving yourself a half-day off? I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and we will play a round of golf to relax, and then enjoy a sumptuous meal together. As for the rest... beautiful lady, do you have any better ideas?"

Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "It's the Lunar New Year holiday recently, there should be a lot of wonderful and interesting movies released!" Qu Lianjie nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Qu Xiaoxiao happily led Zhao Qiping into the restaurant she and Fan Shengmei often went to.

Zhao Qiping asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of coming here?"

Qu Xiaoxiao replied proudly: "Today was not an easy day! I finally succeeded in getting rid of that difficult client and successfully completed the project. For such a big happy event, of course I have to treat myself to a sumptuous meal!"

Then, she patted Zhao Qiping on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "But don't worry, I know you have an important operation waiting for you tonight. After we enjoy the delicious food, I will take you back to the hospital immediately and will definitely not delay your work!"

Zhao Qiping nodded helplessly, agreeing. Then he took the initiative to say, "Well, in that case, let me pay for the meal."

Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately responded cheerfully: "Haha, OK, OK, then thank you, Doctor Zhao!"

After they sat down, Qu Xiaoxiao politely asked Zhao Qiping to order first. She glanced at the restaurant casually, but her eyes suddenly fixed on a familiar figure - Fan Shengmei.

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "No way, we can still meet like this, it's really a narrow road for enemies to cross!" Although her voice was small, it was still heard by Zhao Qiping beside her.

He turned around and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Qu Xiaoxiao pouted and pointed in the direction of Fan Shengmei and explained: "See? The woman in the red skirt is my neighbor."

Zhao Qiping looked in the direction of her finger and took a few more glances. Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao continued to add: "A vain woman who pretends to have a house to cheat people out of their money. The man sitting opposite her is probably her new boyfriend." Her words were full of disdain and ridicule.

Qu Xiaoxiao: "Wait a minute, I'll come over and say hello"

Zhao Qiping: What are you doing? Hey... Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao

Zhao Qiping tried to stop her but failed to stop Qu Xiaoxiao's progress. Fan Shengmei raised her head and her eyes happened to meet Qu Xiaoxiao who was walking towards her.

Qu Xiaoxiao had a bright smile on her face. She walked towards Fan Shengmei in three steps and one stride, and shouted happily, "Sister Fan, what a coincidence! You are eating here too!"

Fan Shengmei frowned slightly and responded coldly: "Do we know each other?" Her tone carried a hint of disdain and alienation.

Qu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Oh, Sister Fan, why do you talk like that? Neighbors pretend not to know each other. This gentleman is..." As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at Fan Shengmei's new boyfriend, but suddenly froze.

What Qu Xiaoxiao never expected was that Fan Shengmei’s new boyfriend turned out to be Qu Lianjie, the man she called “brother”!

Qu Xiaoxiao's smile froze instantly. She stared at Fan Shengmei blankly, then looked at Qu Lianjie, and finally couldn't help laughing. Then, she turned around and returned to her seat as if nothing had happened, leaving Zhao Qiping with a suspicious look and Fan Shengmei at a loss.
