Yan Liang came back from the bathroom, winked, lowered his voice, and asked, "Guess who I saw?"
"Who? Luna?" Li Zhibai asked. "Oh my god, I hope it's not her. Otherwise, someone will take a picture of her and then I'll be scolded by her crazy fans again."
Yan Liang signaled Li Zhibai to lower his voice and said, "No, it's Officer Qiu Ling, whom we just met. He's sitting next to us."
He gestured towards the green plants.
"Oh." Li Zhibai immediately looked up, hoping to confirm it through the gaps between the green plants.
Yan Liang hurried to pull him away.
"You're too present! She's in the bathroom right now, and there's a man sitting at that table. He looks like her boyfriend."
Lu Yanhe said, "She just said she had an appointment with someone, so this must be her."
Just then, they heard Officer Qiu Ling's voice coming from next door.
"Excuse me."
"No, you didn't sleep well last night?" the man asked.
Qiu Ling: "Yes, I was on night shift yesterday."
"Alas, this is the bad thing about being a policeman. The work pressure is too great," said the man.
"Yes, I'm really sorry. I changed it twice before, and we finally met today." Officer Qiu Ling said in an elegant and gentle voice.
"Ah, it's okay. I'm just trying to fulfill a task assigned by my family," the man said. "In fact, I've already told my family that I definitely won't marry a police officer, but they've been asking me to meet you. Miss Qiu, you're very beautiful. I don't understand why you want to be a police officer when you're so beautiful."
Lu Yanhe and the other two looked at each other.
They didn't expect that it was a blind date.
Moreover, the way that man spoke... sounded even more stupid than Li Zhibai.
There was a deliberately concealed arrogance in the man's tone of voice, as if he was not willing to waste time here with Qiu Ling at all, and was just sitting here helplessly for some reason.
After hearing his question, Qiu Ling didn't speak for a long time.
"Was my question too abrupt?" the man asked.
Qiu Ling laughed dryly and said, "Haha, no, I just don't know how to answer right now."
"Um?"
"Being beautiful and being a police officer shouldn't conflict, right?"
"Haha, I just think that a beautiful woman like Miss Qiu can live a comfortable life more easily. To be honest, my family has introduced me to many outstanding women, but Miss Qiu is the only one who looks the best to my taste. If it weren't for your profession, I would definitely be willing to pursue you."
Qiu Ling almost couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
She really wanted to rush to her parents and ask them where they found such a self-righteous man.
She suppressed her temper, forced a smile on her face, and said, "Anyway, it's just a task assigned by my family. It doesn't matter whether I meet your taste or not. Mr. Chen is so outstanding, there will be no problem finding a suitable one."
Mr. Chen asked, "Ms. Qiu, excuse me for asking, but if I'm willing to marry you, would you be willing to quit your job as a police officer? Don't worry, my income is more than enough to support our family, so you don't have to worry about money at all. Your family should have told you that I started my own business, a small company with tens of millions in assets."
Qiu Ling stroked her hair and tucked the hair behind her ears.
"Mr. Chen, work isn't just about income," Qiu Ling said. "Like you said, if I wanted a higher income, why would I choose the police profession? Actually, Mr. Chen, there's no need to force yourself. Since we're not suitable, why not just leave it at that?"
She really couldn't bear it any longer.
Mr. Chen smiled and said, "So, Miss Qiu still holds on to such ideals and passions?"
Qiu Ling could no longer hold back the smile on her face.
She put away the smile on her face, looked at the man opposite her, and asked, "Is it not possible?"
"I thought this was just something 17 or 18-year-olds would think. If someone is almost 30 and still living in this world with such naive ideas, it's a bit childish."
There was obvious sarcasm on the other person's face.
Qiu Ling repeatedly told herself in her heart to control herself and not to take action, otherwise it would affect her own career.
Just as she was about to get up and leave with a sullen look on her face, she suddenly heard several loud, teenage voices coming from next door.
She recognized those voices.
Just heard of it.
Li Zhibai: "Hahahaha, this is hilarious. Some people have the nerve to say that they only have tens of millions in assets? Can this support a family? It's a good thing they didn't raise a son like me, otherwise, he would be bankrupt in a year."
Yan Liang: "I'm really annoyed by people like you who are so pretentious. It's okay for you to be so arrogant, but it's even more annoying when you're in your thirties or forties. You keep saying how naive others are. Even though they're so mature, they still can't control their mouths. They can't spit out ivory."
Lu Yanhe: "You two should keep your voices down. I just don't have a good brain and a good mouth, but that doesn't mean I don't have ears!"
Qiu Ling's anger dissipated after she heard the crosstalk-like conversation between the three teenagers.
She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Mr. Chen on the other side's face turned green.
He stood up angrily, "Who are you talking about?"
"Just talk to whoever takes over." Li Zhibai retorted.
"You kid deserve a lesson!" Mr. Chen rushed over angrily.
Qiu Ling suddenly slammed her palm on the table.
Her elegant, intellectual and gentle appearance was completely thrown away at this moment, and a serious light flashed in her eyes.
"Mr. Chen, are you going to fight someone in front of me, a police officer? I don't mind taking you to the nearest police station."
Mr. Chen paused and looked at Qiu Ling with a grim expression.
Before, Qiu Ling just didn't want to conflict with him, and held the attitude of parting ways amicably no matter what. But at this moment, she didn't bother to care. Her face was stern, her eyes were cold, and an alluring majesty emanated from her, forming a powerful and irresistible aura.
Everyone around looked over.
Under Qiu Ling's gaze, Mr. Chen finally just snorted coldly, picked up his coat, and walked away with a sullen look.
Qiu Ling watched him leave and rush out the door, then she calmly withdrew her gaze. As a result, three young men had already popped their heads out from next door, sticking out above the green plants like a row of radishes, looking down at her condescendingly.
"Officer Qiu, the quality of your blind date is not good." Li Zhibai said,
"It's bad enough that you have such greasy ideas, but you're also so stupid as to say it out loud. Are you trying to PUA you?" Yan Liang said.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said seriously, "Luckily you met us."
Qiu Ling originally wanted to scold them in a serious manner, but seeing the righteous expressions on their faces, she couldn't help laughing.
"Go to hell!" she said.
