Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Boyfriend’s Matters

Su Lu heard Qiao Li’s words... and thought about what Su Zhe had mentioned earlier.

She had assumed it was about finding Qiao Li as her male companion for the opening banquet if Gu Xin brought Chen Yaxi.

So she casually asked, "About the male companion?"

But Qiao Li just smiled, shook his head, and looking into her clear, beautiful eyes, he couldn’t resist and reached out to gently ruffle Su Lu’s hair, "About a boyfriend."

"Boy..." Su Lu opened her mouth, speechless, and hung her head, biting her lip in silence for a moment, "Brother Qiao, I’ve been married before."

"Of course, I know. What era are we in? People don’t care about these things so much," said Qiao Li.

Su Lu wanted to say something else.

But it seemed that Qiao Li could tell that Su Lu wasn’t ready to accept or even consider starting something new. Not wanting her to say something she might regret or to make her feel embarrassed, he quickly added, "I don’t mean to insist on anything. You don’t have to be nervous or troubled. Su Zhe just mentioned it in passing; you can just listen and let it go. No pressure."

Su Lu bit her lip in silence for a moment and then nodded, "Sorry, then... I should get going."

The elevator doors opened behind her, and she turned and walked in. Qiao Li watched her from outside the elevator, smiling at her tenderly.

Only when the elevator doors had closed, and he watched the floor numbers reach Su Lu’s level, did Qiao Li feel at ease to leave. He left the apartment building, walked to the parking spot, settled in the back seat of his car, and opened the mobile app to call a rideshare driver.

While waiting for the rideshare to arrive, he dialed Su Zhe’s number.

It rang a few times before Su Zhe picked up, "Did you get her home?"

"Yep."

"Looking at the time, looks like Lulu didn’t invite you up for a cup of tea," Su Zhe’s voice sounded indifferent, tinged with languor.

"Yeah," Qiao Li sighed.
