Thinking about it, Qin Jueheng actually started to look forward to it - what would Zhao Jili say and how would he react?

Perhaps in person, she would not say anything, and even maintain an angry and expressionless face.But if she accepts the dim sum, everything will be absolutely easy.

If she accepted it, would she feel somewhat happier after going back alone?

Thinking about it, Qin Jueheng laughed.

----Although the attitude on the surface seems to be bluffing enough, in Qin Jueheng's eyes, Zhao Jili is still a young junior after all, a childish child who can't stand a little teasing.

……

While in a daze, a truck stopped outside the store.Qin Jueheng sat bored on the window seat, watching the two shop assistants push the glass door open and press it, and then ran to the truck to pick up the Christmas tree.

The two men carried the tree and entered the door gesturing left and right, during which they inadvertently dropped a package of decorations on the ground.Qin Jueheng stood by and watched, without the slightest intention to step forward to help. Instead, the cashier in front of the counter came out, and three or four people ran in and out of the door.

It’s not awkward at this point, the people for lunch and afternoon tea have just walked away, and it’s not time for dinner. There are only a few tables of customers in the store, and the rest are empty tables, which can be regarded as quiet.

Qin Jueheng rested his chin and looked at the sidewalk across the street, waiting for Zhao Jili to appear.

Several clerks set up a Christmas tree at the position Qin Jueheng ordered. After the cashier returned to the counter, several waiters began to unpack several large packages of decorations on the side and spread the Christmas wreath around. suspension.

The truck outside the door hadn't left yet, and a clerk was paying the transportation company instead of Qin Jueheng, the boss. As if something happened, the two of them were chatting to each other, and they didn't move for a long time.

Qin Jueheng made up his mind not to work too hard, and only wanted to be an idle shopkeeper.

She was used to doing whatever she wanted, but when she was doing business in Jiang City, it was because of her family's face, and she was embarrassed to be too idle and lose face to the Qin family.

It's different now, firstly, this is not the Qin family's facade business, and secondly, it's in a foreign country, no one cares what kind of owner this unique restaurant has changed.

So she promised a salary increase and benefits on the first day she arrived. Now she just plans and plans every day, sitting in the store thinking about her thoughts and looking at the sky as a mascot. What really needs to get up early and run around is all given to the employees below.Everyone is concerned about the face of salary and benefits, but there is no criticism.

In this way, Qin Jueheng didn't care what kind of trouble the clerk had encountered, and left it to him to settle it all by himself, while she just stared out the window wholeheartedly, and glanced at the phone screen from time to time.

But after a while, even before the truck left, Qin Jueheng saw Zhao Jili approaching from afar in the street.

Zhao Jili looked at the shop sign along the road with certainty, until he looked forward and saw Qin Jueheng sitting by the window.

The two looked at each other through a window, Qin Jueheng smiled, as if the dispute just now had dissipated beyond the clouds, tilted his head and waved at Zhao Jili.

Zhao Jili looked at her blankly, but before the two of them had time to fully exchange their eyes, a clerk came over with a bunch of decorations in his arms, and hung a garland on the window in the middle of the two people's sights. The garlands intertwined with red, dark and green covered most of each other's faces.

"..." Qin Jueheng stared at the back of this dishonest waiter, and before he could say anything, he saw Zhao Jili walk around to the door of the shop, opened the door and walked in.

Qin Jueheng immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

"Here you go, this."

When Zhao Jili entered the door, Qin Jueheng didn't say anything, but was handed a bag and stuffed it full.

Qin Jueheng opened it and took a look, and as expected, it was indeed a bracelet.

She subconsciously wanted to say something, but Zhao Jili didn't even look at her. He just lowered his eyelashes and continued to take things out of the satchel, and put everything on the wooden dining table closest to the door.

"This, this, and these are all returned to you."

She lined up all the unopened gift boxes, put them down neatly, and then raised her head to stare at Qin Jueheng.

"The rest are inconvenient to return, so I didn't bring them." Her tone was faint, as if she was threatening, but also as if she was trying to cover up something: "Mr. Qin, everything is here, so don't give it away in the future--" "

Before she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Jueheng's smiling face and stopped her voice.

"----What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Can you be more serious?" Zhao Jili propped up the table with one hand, pinched the bag strap with the other, and stared at Qin Jueheng: "Can you listen to me carefully?"

"Ha." Qin Jueheng held back his smile, and raised his chin towards Zhao Jili: "Well, cough, fine. Tell me, I'll listen."

Zhao Jili lost the mood to continue talking because of her making such a fuss, and stared at Qin Jueheng with slightly narrowed eyes for a while.

----Qin Jueheng naturally did not laugh for no reason.It was just because she looked around at the things returned by Zhao Jili on the table, and gradually realized that these were just some fresh gadgets collected from outside and not very special to please Zhao Jili.

On the contrary, some ambiguous things have not been returned.

For example, the ring that Qin Jueheng gave her a few months ago and she often wears, such as the little ivory comb that Qin Jueheng keeps in the collection cabinet of her study all the year round, and the one that Qin Jueheng is used to. Fragrant.

This is strange.

Zhao Jili didn't want all the expensive things she bought, and returned them all. On the contrary, Qin Jueheng had used them himself and was not so valuable and useful. Zhao Jili said it was "inconvenient" and refused to return them.

Qin Jueheng couldn't help but frowned slightly, put his hands on the table, and leaned over to Zhao Jili who was facing him.

As the distance drew closer, she lowered her voice and asked softly, "---Then, what is the inconvenient way that makes you refuse to return my ring?"

"I lost it."

Before Qin Jueheng finished speaking, Zhao Jili took two steps back and quickly answered the question.

After she distanced herself from Qin Jueheng, she explained without changing her face: "I hate your ring, so I lost it when I received it. There is no way to return it."

Zhao Jili's tone was very stiff, and Qin Jueheng obviously didn't believe it.But she couldn't doubt, lest Zhao Jili would slam the door out in anger.

So Qin Jueheng supported the table, and said in a tone of half-belief: "---oh~"

"That's right."

Qin Jueheng bit his lip slightly, looked around Zhao Jili, and found that Zhao Jili blinked significantly faster than usual, and felt amused.

She didn't point it out, she just completely wiped away the uneasiness just now, and her heart became more relaxed.

----Sure enough, there is still help.

She thought about it, without saying anything else, walked around the counter, and picked up the two or three paper bags prepared by the pastry chef earlier.

"How did you get here?"

In order to avoid laughing himself out, Qin Jueheng simply changed the subject and asked while walking towards Zhao Jili.

"None of your business." Zhao Jili was annoyed.

Qin Jueheng was not angry either, she felt that she had seen through the truth, and now she only felt complacent, and didn't care what Zhao Jili said verbally.

No matter what Zhao Jili said sarcastically, what Qin Jueheng heard seemed to be "Actually, I still like you", "I don't want you to go", "I'm not really angry", and so on.

But she only dared to think about it in her heart.Qin Jueheng would be really surprised if Zhao Jili said these few words seriously one day.

Thinking wildly, she took Zhao Jili's hand and handed over several paper bags.

"This is made by the pastry chef I brought." She had no intention of revealing that the pastry chef was the chef of Huanfengyuan, and only said: "It's all flavors that don't exist here, you take it."
