Sure enough, this girl had a bit of a conscience, and it was not in vain for him to send someone to order flowers for him so late last night.

On the way back to the meeting room, Nian and Jiang had a faint smile on their faces.

After get off work at noon, Lily and a group of female colleagues in the office on the ground floor had just walked out of the office building when they heard the women around them whispering.

"Who is that? So stylish!"

"I don't know, so handsome, shouldn't he be from our research institute?"

"It's okay, there is no yearbook, but the records have a taste."

"..."

Because someone mentioned Nian and Jiang, before Lily could get curious about the handsome guy these nympho female colleagues were talking about, she heard someone calling her name: "Lily! Zhen Baihe!"

Following the prestige, Xiang Ming walked towards her with a smile all over his face, shaking his sunglasses.

Then look at the few nympho women around, all of them have a clear look of "so that's the case", smiling and walking towards the cafeteria.

It turned out that the person they were talking about just now was Xiang Ming!

No wonder, he was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans today, under such an office building full of suits and shoes, he looked extraordinarily youthful and dazzling!

Born with fine skin and white flesh, sculpted facial features, coupled with his signature sunny smiling face, it's no wonder that those female compatriots who sit in the office for a long time forget even their reserve!

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to work today?" Lily didn't want to be the target of gossip, so she hurriedly dragged Xiang Ming to the opposite direction of the cafeteria.

"Come out to do some errands, just passing by you and it's lunch time, you won't even be reluctant to give a meal, right?" Xiang Ming joked.

Having said all of this, how could Lily have any reason to drive people away, "Am I that stingy?"

"I heard that your staff canteen is good, why don't you take me to try something new?" Xiang Ming pointed to the staff canteen for researchers, where off-duty employees flocked to.

"Who did you hear said it was good? How could it be good? It's just too bad! You'd better not go, so as not to spread the word and affect the reputation of our unit." Lily waved her hand guiltily, and pulled Xiang Ming towards the gate.

His sudden appearance just now has already caused an uproar. Do you still want to go to a crowded place like the cafeteria?If an earthquake is caused in the research institute, she, a little girl, can't bear the responsibility!

Xiang Ming smiled embarrassingly, and had no choice but to let the hospitality go.

Sitting in Xiang Ming's car, he passed three traffic lights before Lily chose a western restaurant to let him stop the car.For some reason, she felt like a thief, afraid of being seen by acquaintances with Xiang Ming.

Seeing the gentle smile on Xiang Ming's face all the time, Lily felt a little sorry for his petty thinking.It's not that she doesn't understand what he means, why did she pass by here, probably on purpose, right?

Since I have no feelings for him, why let him make so many sacrifices for myself?

After ordering a good meal, Lily took a deep breath and tried to smile at Xiang Ming: "Xiang Ming, don't be so nice to me in the future."

Xiang Ming was slightly taken aback, but when he looked at her, he still had his usual unrestrained and bright smile on his face: "It's a good thing to say something like this, and when others heard it, they thought we were talking about breaking up here!"

"It's not funny at all." Lily gave him an annoyed look, picked up the glass, took a sip of plain water, and put away the expression on her face: "I'm serious, can you stop joking?"

"I'm serious too. I was serious seven years ago, and I'm not joking now!" Xiang Ming lowered his head and chuckled at himself. When he raised his eyes, traces of sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes, but his tone was extremely firm: "Lily, we've been friends for several years even if we haven't been boyfriend and girlfriend for so many years. I don't think we need to beat around the bush. I like you just because I like you. Since you rejected me seven years ago I downplayed it, and today, there will be no change just because you don't accept me for the time being."

Lily watched him gaze into her eyes affectionately, and what came to her heart was, apart from being touched, there were bursts of uncontrollable guilt.

But guilt has never been about love.

Lily understood this truth seven years ago, and now, she is more aware that this touch has nothing to do with being tempted, and this guilt is precisely because it is not love.

Lily pursed her lips, and said seriously: "Thank you, Xiang Ming. But, I have to tell you. I am a stubborn person, and I have already listed you as a good friend. You are a very competent good friend. but……"

"I will also be a more competent boyfriend and husband!" Xiang Ming interrupted her excitedly, his eyes full of expectation.

Lily suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, looking at Xiang Ming's handsome face that many girls would fall in love with without hesitation, and feeling the deep affection reflected in his sincere eyes, her heart was not only moved, but also slipped by every thread. bitterness.

husband?Hehe, Lily sighed secretly.

Although she had fantasized about getting married countless times, when the word "husband" was uttered from another man who had never thought of being with him, she felt that she was only confused.

Turning her eyes to look out the French window, a man in a suit and leather shoes with a briefcase hurriedly passed by, and Nian and Jiang's deep-featured faces suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Xiang Ming, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to use the same reason to say sorry to you again!" Lily tried her best to smile, and looked down at her intertwined fingers.

"The same reason?" Xiang Ming frowned slightly, pulled the corners of his mouth shyly, carefully looked into her eyes, and asked probingly, "Could it be that you mean the person who gave you flowers today?"

"It's not..." Lily lowered her head, like a child who did something wrong, for a moment, she didn't know how to tell the truth.

She knew that the phone call in the morning could not be hidden from him at all.

Although Xiang Ming's mind is delicate and sensitive, although she doesn't know much about it personally, during the years of undergraduate study, she often heard Zhang Yanxue brazenly praise him in the dormitory for how careful and considerate he is.

Xiang Ming held the glass with both hands, and rubbed his thumbs vigorously on the wall of the glass.

After a long time, he smiled reluctantly and asked her, "Is it your colleague? Your boss? Or?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, does it?"

"Important! Of course it is important!"

"..."

Lily wrinkled beautifully and feebly, she didn't know how to say something that could firmly reject him without hurting him.

"No matter who it is, I will never give up until he marries you! You can't deny me a fair chance to compete every time!" Xiang Ming said unwillingly.

"Xiang Ming, can you stop wasting time on me, an unworthy person!" Lily's eyes showed helplessness, and her tone was almost begging him.
