He's not what I thought

"Are you here?" Jiang Qi hurriedly handed the menu to the waiter, motioned him to place the order quickly, and greeted him, "Why didn't you call me before you came?"

Lu Jinze's eyes fell on Jiang Qi, and after a while, he raised his dark eyes and glanced behind Jiang Qi.

[Qin Peilan? 】

This name was read from Lu Jinze's heart, which made Jiang Qi startled.

Lu Jinze said: "When I received your text message, I just finished the meeting and came over after work."

Jiang Qi looked at his watch: "Then you leave work a little early today!"

05:30, Lu Jinze used to get off work at least after six o'clock.

[I came here when I saw the live broadcast. 】

Lu Jinze said in his heart.

Jiang Qi: "??"

He was confused, but he originally planned to invite Lu Jinze to dinner today, so it would be best if he could come, Jiang Qi said behind him: "Then let's go to the private room, shall we? I have to make a video later, so I have to trouble you to be quiet." Keep your voice down, try to cooperate with me, okay?"

Lu Jinze naturally had no objection, the two sat in the private room, Jiang Qi set up the camera, and called the waiter outside: "Come and help me order food!"

The waiter came in from outside with a small notebook.

Jiang Qi turned on the camera, and briefly said the opening remarks: "Hi everyone, the store tour video you want is here. Now the waiter in the restaurant is next to me. Let her recommend today's dishes to us first!"

After speaking, point the camera at the menu in front of you.

"Oh, by the way." In order to prevent misunderstandings when editing the video later, Jiang Qi simply took the initiative to introduce Lu Jinze, "My husband came with me today!"

He pointed the camera at Lu Jinze's hand again: "Do you want to say hello to the audience?"

Lu Jinze froze there.

The expression on his face was very serious, and he looked at Jiang Qi calmly, but his eyes seemed to be asking for help.

【greet? 】

"Pfft!" Jiang Qi had no choice but to grab Lu Jinze's hand, and waved at the camera with him.

"Hello everyone, I am the silent partner from the 77 family. If I don't speak for a while, you all just pretend that I don't exist!"

He lowered his voice, imitating Lu Jinze's voice.

"Cough." The waiter next to him couldn't help covering his mouth and letting out a hint of laughter.

Lu Jinze: "..." He looked at Jiang Qi helplessly.

After the waiter introduced tonight's dishes, Jiang Qi chose a few signature dishes and asked the other party to place an order.

After a while, the waiter suddenly pushed the door open again and said, "Mr. Jiang, do you need our help to entertain your friends outside?"

Jiang Qi didn't react for a while: "Yes, I still shoot videos, please trouble you!"

"No trouble, no trouble." The other party was busy preparing to leave.

"Wait," Jiang Qi reacted and stopped her, "It means that I won't let you entertain, so you don't plan to entertain, right?"

"No, no!" The other party hurriedly explained, "Boss Jiang, you misunderstood..."

"Go!" Jiang Qi waved his hand, not embarrassing her, "Next time, take the initiative."

"..." The waiter left aggrieved.

The box was quiet again, Jiang Qi raised his head and saw Lu Jinze looking at him with a bit of inquiry.

【Why did Qin Peilan appear here? 】

Jiang Qi instinctively felt that Lu Jinze's method was wrong.

He knew Qin Peilan.

Logically speaking, Lu Jinze shouldn't know him. Jiang Qi and Lu Jinze Middle School are alumni, but it doesn't mean that the university is also. How could Lu Jinze know him?

Could it be that they have contacts at work?

Impossible, although Lu Jinze and Qin Peilan can barely be regarded as half colleagues, but it is impossible for them to overlap in every aspect.

A newcomer in the industry, a bigwig in the business world, there is no reason for Lu Jinze to care about Qin Peilan so much.

Could it be because of myself?

But Jiang Qi just found out today that Qin Peilan seems to be interested in him, how did Lu Jinze know?

Just as Jiang Qi was doing this, he heard Lu Jinze ask, "Is that your senior outside?"

Incredible!Lu Jinze actually took the initiative to ask!

Jiang Qi muttered in his heart, and immediately said: "Yes! Do you know him?"

Lu Jinze nodded: "He is very powerful."

"Isn't it Mr. Lu?" Jiang Qi leaned on his chin with one hand and looked at him with a smile, "There is no one in this world who is stronger than you, don't be humble."

Lu Jinze: "..."

Jiang Qi boasted embarrassingly, although it was a bit too much, but it could be seen that Lu Jinze was very concerned: "Don't be skinny."

Jiang Qi smiled and said, "I have no skin!"

"A year ago, I promised the Jiang family to marry you. On the one hand, it was because I liked you in my heart, and on the other hand, I was not confident in myself. After making up my mind to marry you, I ran away, so I took advantage of the trend and went to country Y. I am really not very good. People who do not make mistakes will make many mistakes that others cannot imagine, and they are not as courageous as others.”

Jiang Qi didn't see Lu Jinze mentioning this, and at the same time he was surprised, he turned off the camera casually.

"If I'm really that good," Lu Jinze looked at Jiang Qi and said, "I wouldn't just tell you this today."

"You..." Jiang Qi didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

"You know my mother, right?" Lu Jinze said, "She is a paranoid person. I grew up with her, so I may be a little... slow in expressing emotions."

"Of course, I'm not trying to excuse myself," Lu Jinze said quickly, "It's just me, I still have to tell you clearly, so as not to fall into an irreparable situation in the future."

Jiang Qi said, "Then... let me ask you?"

Lu Jinze nodded: "I know everything."

"Did you go to country Y at that time because you thought I didn't like you and didn't see you?"

"I don't know how to face it," Lu Jinze lowered his eyes, "I went to your school to look for you when you were in your junior year. At that time, you were in the student union, and they were all talking about you and Qin Peilan. At that time, hurry up and talk to me. After getting married, I didn't have the courage to ask you later, if you really want to be my partner."

"I married you... It's true that I didn't do it voluntarily at the beginning. Everyone has the second stage of middle school. At that time, I thought it would be very good to sacrifice marriage and get back what I wanted. So even if you asked If you pass me, I will not raise objections to you."

"Besides, you always talk so little. To be honest, it's hard for people to guess your thoughts, but I'm used to it now," Jiang Qi smiled, "I don't think there's anything wrong with you like this. No one is perfect. , having shortcomings may not necessarily be a bad thing.”

Jiang Qi paused: "Speaking of me and Qin Peilan, what happened to me and him?"

"They said...your family broke up the two of you. You could be together, but suddenly you found out that you were going to get married. Qin Peilan was there at the time and reprimanded them, telling them not to bring up this matter again."

"Later I had something to leave, so I'll ask you later, but... I really didn't have the courage to bring up this matter after I missed it."

"Then why did you bring it up now?" Jiang Qi asked.

Lu Jinze looked up at him.

"I really have nothing to do with him!" Jiang Qi said, "I swear."

He raised a hand: "I don't remember what you said at that time, but I guess, there may be some activities in the school for a while, the teacher asked me to go to the student union to help, and they just found people randomly , to catch who is who, Wei Lin and I both went. I really don’t remember any unnecessary intersection between me and Qin Peilan at that time... Maybe I forgot too..."

Jiang Qi frowned and thought: "I got up. At that time, someone in their student union seemed to ask me if I had a boyfriend or girlfriend, so I told the other party that I was getting married soon."

"You know," Jiang Qi smiled, "I'm not someone who likes to deceive other people's feelings. Some things must be made clear in advance."

"Or," Jiang Qi was surprised, "he is outside, let's go and talk to him?"

Lu Jinze shook his head.

Also, this will make Lu Jinze lose face.

Jiang Qi held his hand: "Okay, I understand what you expressed today, and I assure you that since I promised you to work hard to become a family with you, I will not hide anything from you. It wasn't that we made an appointment with Senior Qin beforehand, it was really him who came over by himself and we happened to meet."

Lu Jinze said, "I'm not jealous."

"Oh..." Jiang Qi looked at him.

"I just feel that there are some things that need to be explained to you."

Jiang Qi nodded: "No problem, I am willing to cooperate."

The food ordered came out soon, Jiang Qi needed to continue shooting videos, and couldn't have any further in-depth chats with Lu Jinze.

But from what Lu Jinze said just now, it seems that there are some things that Jiang Qi has not figured out until now.

Why is Lu Jinze so anxious about expressiveness?

It shouldn't be... It's not like he doesn't have a mouth.

Or is it because there are some things he doesn't actually say, or it's not suitable for him to say them?

Jiang Qi suddenly thought of Shen Yuanchen.

That's right, didn't it just come from his mouth last time that Lu Jinze wouldn't like himself?

It's better to communicate directly with another person.

Jiang Qi quietly took out his mobile phone and sent Wei Lin a message: [Do you have Shen Yuanchen's number? 】

After eating a meal together, Jiang Qi and Lu Jinze walked out of the box together without remembering what it tasted like but racked their brains to praise the promotional dinner.

Qin Peilan had finished her meal and was sitting on a bench in the corridor outside the restaurant.

Jiang prayed, and said to Lu Jinze: "I'll go and explain it to him, you wait for me."

After speaking, he walked towards Qin Peilan.

Lu Jinze had no choice but to sit down on the waiting seat near the front hall, and the waiter hurriedly brought him a glass of water.

"Senior?" Jiang Qi stopped in front of Qin Peilan and asked, "Is there anything else? Are you satisfied with today's meal?"

"Thank you," Qin Peilan turned her head and said to him with a smile, "They gave me a discount just now."

"You're welcome, you should," Jiang Qi followed with a slight smile, "You also know that my husband and I have been married for a year, and our relationship is very stable, so... If I go out to eat alone with you, I'm afraid he will misunderstand."

Qin Peilan turned her head and looked at Lu Jinze who was sitting by the window: "Really? But how did I hear that you were planning to divorce before?"
