The forensic wife is very nice to me

Chapter 454 From Rival to Friend

In the private room of an Indian restaurant in the city center, the very stylish Hindu decoration is particularly eye-catching. All the colleagues from the serious crime team and the forensic department sat around the big dining table, constantly teasing Qiu Lan and Li Shanghan.

Not long after, the clerk of the restaurant came in with large and small Indian specialties. The golden curry sauce and the meaty chicken made everyone salivate.

"The dishes are all served, let's all use our chopsticks!" Qiu Lan pursed her red lips, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and there was a sweet smile on her face.

"Hey, before we eat, shall we offer a toast to Dr. Qiu?" Xiaotiao stood up slowly while holding the wine glass, and teased a few words with a chuckle, "Our Dr. Qiu now has such a powerful doctor." My husband, who has a happy family, invited us to dinner today, don't you even say a few words of blessing?"

"Xiao Tiao is right, then I'll take the first prize, let me say a few words first." Peipei stood up with a smile on her face, raised the glass to Qiu Lan's direction, and said softly, "Doctor Qiu, although we only worked together It’s been a few months, but you’re already my idol.”

"You are beautiful, kind-hearted, and have excellent professional skills. If these few cases hadn't been for your help, it would have been difficult for us to close them so quickly. All in all, I hope you and lawyer Li will always be happy. love river."

The eloquent Peipei said a lot with a smile, and finally drank half of the glass of wine in one gulp. Qiu Lan raised her eyebrows, stood up and raised the glass in front of her, her red lips moved slightly, "Thank you, Peipei, this I've had a glass of wine too."

After the words finished, Qiu Lan steadily raised the wine glass, but just when the rim of the glass was about to touch her lips, a beautiful hand held the wine glass.

"You're not feeling well, I'll drink for you." Li Shanghan took down Qiu Lan's wine glass, pursed his lips lightly, turned to look at Pei Pei in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry, it's not convenient for Xiao Lan to drink today, it's me Come and drink for her."

Suddenly, a small glass of red wine trickled down the side of the glass into his thin lips.

Standing aside, Qiu Lan stared dumbfounded at the man beside her, like a little fan looking up at an idol, with twinkling little stars in her eyes.

She rarely saw him drinking in this kind of game, but this time, he actually took the initiative to block the drink for her.

For some reason, Qiu Lan was still a little excited, and a sense of happiness was quietly overflowing in her heart.

And the other people present were also sighing.

"Lawyer Li loves his wife with strength. We, Dr. Qiu, will be happy in the future."

"That's right. I used to see that Lawyer Li didn't even have any expression on his face. I didn't expect to be so kind to our doctor Qiu."

"It must be. How could we, Dr. Qiu, choose someone wrong?"

Amidst the laughter, only Xu Chengyan sat in the corner in despair, drinking one cup after another.

After drinking for three rounds, he left the private room with a little bit of drunkenness. Qiu Lan saw his lonely back from the corner of her eyes, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She knew Xu Chengyan's feelings, but she had never had any other feelings for him other than colleagues and friends. However, seeing his state, Qiu Lan still felt the need to talk to him.

There is a small garden balcony outside the Indian restaurant, probably because of the sweltering heat, so there are almost no people here, and the tables are also empty.

Xu Chengyan, who was full of frustration, walked into the small balcony, lying powerlessly on the railing, staring blankly at the night and the few faintly visible stars, his eyes dim.

"Officer Xu, what are you thinking?" Qiu Lan pursed her red lips lightly, stood half a meter away from him, and looked in the same direction as his gaze.

Xu Chengyan was obviously surprised by her sudden appearance.

He lowered his eyes, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, "Doctor Qiu, why did you come out?"

"Me?" Qiu Lan frowned thoughtfully, and asked him the question again, "What about you? Is the food tonight not to your taste?"

"No." Xu Chengyan shook his head, turned around and looked at the stars in the night sky, with a trace of unconcealable sadness hidden in his calm tone, "I just came out to get some air because the air in the private room was a bit stuffy."

"Really?" Qiu Lan shrugged casually and raised her brows lightly, "Officer Xu, I am a forensic doctor and I have studied psychology. Your micro-expression can't hide from my eyes."

Listening to her words, Xu Chengyan was silent for a few seconds, chuckled bitterly, and shook his head helplessly, "Yes, in front of you, no criminal can escape, well, I admit it, I know you are married, it's pretty cool Uncomfortable."

"But Doctor Qiu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Xu Chengyan squeezed the corners of his mouth, and sighed softly, "Actually, Lawyer Li is pretty good, I sincerely wish you well, and I plan to let go of my feelings for you, but It takes time for feelings to settle, and it takes time for feelings to disappear, I just can't let go completely for a while."

When the words settled down, Qiu Lan lowered her eyes, and the frown on her forehead relaxed a little, "Officer Xu, I feel relieved to hear you say that."

She paused, and took a long breath of relief, "Actually, I've always been afraid that you wouldn't let go, and worried that your future would be delayed because of my affairs." 
"Doctor Qiu, don't be burdened. I am a people's policeman, and I want to solve the people's worries and problems. If you, the people, are unhappy because of me, wouldn't I be guilty of a big crime." A slight smile.

"If you can joke, then it's fine." Qiu Lan raised her brows and looked softly at the person in front of her.

Suddenly, Qi Mo's figure appeared in her mind.

In fact, Qiu Lan had seen her psychology before, she had always had feelings for Xu Chengyan.

Now Xu Chengyan is willing to let go of the previous relationship and start again, maybe there will be a good relationship between the two of them.

But when the words came to her lips, Qiu Lan hesitated again.

Qi Mo is pregnant now, she said earlier that she did not want Xu Chengyan to be forced to be responsible for her because of the child.

Qiu Lan hesitated, wondering whether Qi Mo should be mentioned or not.

At this moment, there was a sound of low footsteps at the small garden gate, and Li Shanghan walked towards the two with steady steps, with a calm expression on his face.

"Shang Han." Qiu Lan called softly, took his arm gently, and smiled, "Why did you come out?"

"I see you haven't come back, come and see you." Li Shanghan pursed his thin lips lightly, replied politely, and turned his head to look at the people beside him.

Before he could speak, Xu Chengyan stretched out his right hand first, and said slowly: "Lawyer Li, I have failed in this war between the two of us, congratulations."

"Thank you." Li Shanghan shook hands with him solemnly, his eyebrows moved slightly.

"You're welcome." Xu Chengyan smiled generously and shrugged slightly, "However, Lawyer Li, you have to take good care of us, Dr. Qiu. If you know that you bullied her, you must be taken back to the police station for interrogation."

On the sweltering garden roof, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and all the confrontation in the past disappeared.
