After being laid off, Mr. Lu asked me to interview at his company

After hearing Lu Yanqi's words, Lin Qing was slightly stunned, and an indescribable feeling of embarrassment and awkwardness surged in his heart.

But she was the one who brought up this topic first. If I didn't respond, it would feel very rude, like I was shooting myself in the foot.

She took a deep breath, trying to ease the atmosphere, forced a smile on her face, and said softly: "The elders are all well-intentioned. It is normal to be urged to get married when you are of marriageable age. It is a sign of their concern for us."

Lu Yanqi seemed to sense Lin Qing's discomfort. His eyes fell on her gently. He wanted to know some questions, so he asked softly, "What about you? Have you ever been urged to get married?"

Lin Qing nodded gently and answered honestly: "Yes, I have before. I was even arranged to go on a blind date. But now I don't push for it anymore."

Lu Yanqi's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he asked, "Oh? Why didn't you urge me anymore?"

Lin Qing was stunned for a while, looked into the distance, and said, "Because I said that love should be left to nature. If you are still single at the age of 28, it will not be too late to consider blind dating then."

Lu Yanqi smiled faintly, "Then do you want to know how I answered them?"

Lin Qing's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She stared into Lu Yanqi's eyes and asked nervously, "Then...how did you answer?"

She was really a little conflicted. She was looking forward to hearing his answer, but also afraid that the answer would not be what she expected.

Lu Yanqi said softly: "I said that things like marriage cannot be forced. You need to meet the right person."

After he said this, he paused deliberately, shifted his gaze slightly, and pretended to glance at Lin Qing casually.

There was a barely perceptible sincerity and expectation in those eyes.

When Lin Qing heard this, a certain expectation suddenly arose in his heart. He said that when he met the right person, would she be the one?

She seemed to understand the meaning of Lu Yanqi's words, but she didn't dare to confirm it rashly, so she said "Oh" softly.

Then he slowly tasted the fruit in his mouth, looked down at the pineapples in the box, and then inserted the bamboo stick in his hand into a piece of pineapple. An inexplicable throbbing and tension surged in his heart.

Although Lin Qing was unable to express her feelings, she soon stopped worrying about it, gradually let go of her inner uneasiness, and enjoyed the time she spent with him.

At this moment, Lu Yanqi's heart was filled with longing and expectation for Lin Qing, but it seemed that it was not the best time to express his true feelings, so he had to endure it a little longer.

The silence between the two seemed to contain unspeakable emotions.

In order to break this atmosphere, Lin Qing adjusted his mood, raised his head and said playfully: "Boss Lu, you take the remaining fruits. I really can't hold them. You bought them from far away, so don't waste them."

After hearing her words, Lu Yanqi looked down at the box: "..." How many pieces? The total amount should be at least two digits.

He felt that he ate more than her in the end, but who could he blame? After all, she was the one he liked, so if she couldn't eat, he would eat it.

Lu Yanqi suddenly thought of something and curled his lips, "Can you help me eat two more pieces?" After that, he handed her two pieces of cantaloupe and waited quietly for her answer.

Uh... why do these words sound familiar, as if she had said something similar. After a moment's thought, I realized that this was what she had just said at the hotel entrance.

Humph! You actually stole her words.

However, Lin Qing gladly accepted it. "Okay, I have to go back after eating this. My friends will be worried if I stay out for too long."

Lu Yanqi asked curiously: "What does your friend do for a living?"

Lin Qing: "Real estate, Shenglai Group, my friend is a salesperson."

Lu Yanqi said "hmm". It turned out to be Shenglai Group. He had a good relationship with the president of Shenglai Group.

Lin Qing said jokingly: "She asked me today that the Lu Group was holding all kinds of activities and asked me if I could bring her along. I said I had just been working for more than a month, so how would I know."

Lu Yanqi: "The company arranges team-building activities every quarter, and the department manager can apply for it. You can bring your friends with you, I approve it."

Hearing his serious tone, Lin Qing said happily, "Really? Then I would like to thank Mr. Lu first."

Lu Yanqi smiled and said, "Really. You're welcome."

Lu Yanqi finished eating the pieces of fruit and said to Lin Qing, "Go back. I'll take you to the hotel entrance."

As the two were walking towards the hotel, Lin Qing suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did you drive here by yourself?"

Lu Yanqi shook his head: "No, the driver brought it here. I drank tonight and can't drive."

Lin Qing showed a puzzled expression, "Ah? Then why don't I smell any alcohol?" She remembered the scene when she hugged him tightly and buried her head in his chest, and she didn't smell any alcohol.

Lu Yanqi replied with a teasing smile, "I've taken a shower, and I no longer smell of alcohol. However, there may still be some smell on my breath. If you want to confirm it, I don't mind."

After saying that, he moved a little closer to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing's cheeks flushed instantly, she quickly turned her head away, a little flustered but deliberately said angrily: "I don't want it!"

Lin Qing was totally unaware of how coquettish his tone was, and was secretly glad that she wasn't fooled by his joke.

At this moment, she just wanted to quickly end this slightly delicate conversation and return to the hotel to calm down for a while. So, she walked quickly in front of him and walked towards the hotel gate.

Lin Qing's angry look was so adorable in Lu Yanqi's eyes that he wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but he put his hand down halfway and reminded her softly, "Walk slowly, the cobblestone road is slippery, be careful not to fall."

Lin Qing was not really angry. It was a rare opportunity for her to spend some time with him, and she was very happy. However, he was too attractive, so she was shy and did not dare to get close to him.

"Mr. Lu, I'm here. Thank you for bringing me the fruit." Lin Qing turned his head and looked directly at Lu Yanqi, expressing his gratitude sincerely.

Just because she casually mentioned that she wanted to eat fruit, he actually got up from the bed in the middle of the night and ran several kilometers to personally deliver the fruit to her.

It would be a lie if Lin Qing said she was not touched by his thoughtfulness and care.

Lu Yanqi looked at Lin Qing, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes: "Okay, go up and have a rest early."

His voice was low and gentle, as if it contained thousands of words.

Lin Qing nodded and asked softly, "Where did your driver park the car?"

Lu Yanqi raised his hand and pointed to the car not far ahead: "It's the one in front."

Lin Qing smiled and responded: "Then let's go at the same time. Goodbye."

Lu Yanqi also smiled back: "Well, goodbye."

The two of them walked in their respective directions at the same time, and their figures gradually went away.

In this quiet night, a warm current surged in their hearts. Perhaps this is the most sincere emotional exchange between people.
