Chapter 510 Can't Let Go

Li Jiawei looked up at the clock on the wall. It was exactly eight o'clock. Thinking it was not too late, she suddenly wanted to go out and find someone to chat with, so she picked up her phone and called Zhou Dan.

When she came back from her trip abroad this time, she also brought a gift for Zhou Dan, which happened to be given to her.

As for Zhao Chenyue, Li Jiawei didn't want to invite her out for a gathering.

But thinking about the fact that Zhao Chenyue has two children, it’s a bit unrealistic to come out and have dinner with them at eight o’clock in the evening.

Zhou Dan had just finished working overtime and sorting files for the day, and now his stomach was growling with hunger.

She rubbed her starving stomach and quickly turned off the computer. She had to go out and find a restaurant to eat something, otherwise she would suffer from hypoglycemia.

Just as she was thinking about what to eat, her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Li Jiawei calling.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She pressed the answer button and jokingly said, "Hey, my busy man, how come you have time to call me today?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Jiawei laughed out loud and teased, "I'm not a busy person, you are! Do you want to come out for dinner when you have time?"

Zhou Dan heard this and said happily, "You're back in Xishi? When did you come back?"

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "We arrived at Xishi at noon today."

While listening, Zhou Dan put on his coat and said, "What a coincidence. I just got off work and I'm starving. I'll treat you to hot pot as a welcome treat!"

Li Jiawei responded: "Okay! Which hotpot restaurant should we eat at?"

Then the two of them decided on a meeting place and hung up the phone.

When Li Jiawei arrived, Zhou Dan had already ordered the pot.

Li Jiawei's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Dan. She had only been gone for a month and a half, but Zhou Dan's hair had grown to shoulder length and hung softly on her shoulders. She looked great, and her fair and rosy skin exuded health and vitality.

Li Jiawei praised, "You are getting prettier and prettier. You are in great shape!" She handed over the gift bag in her hand, "This is a gift for you. See if you like it."

Zhou Dan said playfully, "I have to thank my mother who loves me so much. In order to raise me fair and tender, she has been very concerned and has used all kinds of methods.

You don't even know that she even bought me a beauty card!" At this point, Zhou Dan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then took the gift bag with curiosity in her eyes: "Let me take a look, what's in it?"

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "A bag of coffee beans and a necklace."

Zhou Dan knew that Li Jiawei had returned from abroad, so she didn't hesitate and opened the gift bag openly.

She is not very knowledgeable about coffee, and the one she drinks most often is a certain brand of instant coffee.

But even if she didn't understand, as soon as she took out the bag of coffee beans, a rich, mellow and unique aroma entered her nose. This smell alone made her feel very high-end.

Then, Zhou Dan took out another small box with exquisite packaging and opened it, and saw a diamond necklace with a very design sense.

Although it is inlaid with small diamonds, the unique design is ingenious, and the lines are smooth and flexible.

Zhou Dan liked the necklace very much, but she also knew that the nature of her job was special and some rules had to be strictly followed.

Even though the person in front of her was her good friend Li Jiawei, she did not hesitate at all and asked, "Jiawei, how much is this necklace?"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhou Dan's serious expression and couldn't help laughing, saying, "Don't worry, I know your discipline requirements and will definitely not let you violate the rules.

This necklace is not expensive, only a few hundred dollars. I spent a long time choosing it and bought it because I thought it was especially suitable for you."

When Zhou Dan heard that it was only a few hundred dollars, he finally felt relieved.

On Li Jiawei’s birthday last year, she gave her a bottle of perfume worth more than one thousand yuan as a birthday gift.

In her opinion, it is normal for friends to exchange gifts and maintain such friendship as long as they do not overstep the boundaries.

Zhou Dan smiled happily and said, "Then I won't hesitate to accept it!"

The steaming hot pot is served on the table, and the spicy and fragrant aroma spreads instantly.

The two of them were enjoying their meal while chatting about all kinds of gossip with great interest. Before they knew it, the topic turned to the upcoming marriage of Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou.

Li Jiawei looked up at Zhou Dan, concern flashing in her eyes, and asked, "He's about to get married, and what about you? Haven't you met someone you like?"

Zhou Dan was concentrating on eating tripe. When he heard this, he didn't even raise his head, but just shook his head gently and said, "Fate is something that can't be rushed. I always adhere to the principle of preferring to have nothing than to have something bad.

Besides, you know how busy I am with work right now, so I don’t have the time to talk about love or find a boyfriend!”

Although Zhou Dan looked nonchalant, Li Jiawei couldn't help but ask, "Are you still obsessed with He Zhizhou and can't let him go?"

Zhou Dan had just swallowed the tripe covered with red oil when he heard Li Jiawei's words. He seemed to be choked by something, his throat tightened, and he started coughing violently. It took him a while to recover. He waved his hands and denied it hastily: "What are you talking about? How is it possible!"

She sat up straight, looked at Li Jiawei with a smile and said, "He Zhizhou meets my aesthetic standards, but he is not stunningly beautiful. Am I going to hang on to him and marry him alone?"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhou Dan's anxious explanation, and felt relieved. She joked, "That's good. I thought you were with him before, so you've been through a lot, and nothing can compare to it."

Zhou Dan was helpless when she heard Li Jiawei say this, she gave Li Jiawei a look of disdain and said unhappily: "He can't bear my deep affection!

As for you, your relationship with Li Xuanbao has become so strained, and your family is so close to the He family. If she marries He Zhizhou, it won't cause you any trouble, right?"

When Li Jiawei heard Zhou Dan say this, she couldn't help but think of her mother Jing Qiu's request in the afternoon. A sneer of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she sighed with a bitter smile: "Trouble has come! Li Xuanbao is determined to marry out of Li Garden, but my uncle refused to give in. My mother actually wants me to ask my uncle to help Li Xuanbao realize her wish."

Hearing Li Jiawei say this, Zhou Dan's eyes widened, disbelief written all over her face, and she said, "What on earth is Auntie thinking? Li Xuanbao almost treats you as an enemy, and she even wants you to beg your uncle. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for you?"

Li Jiawei pulled up a smile, didn't say anything, but picked up the Coke beside her, tilted her head back and took a big sip. The cold liquid slid down her throat, trying to dispel the indescribable heat in her heart.

Zhou Dan looked at Li Jiawei's expression, reached out his hand distressedly, gently patted the back of her hand, and said, "Are you feeling upset?"
