Thinking of this, Li Qingning''s heart suddenly felt a burst of desolation, as if Siberian air-conditioning blowing into her heart, spread to the deepest part of her heart.


    Lan Qing glanced at Li Qingning, who was still standing there. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows and asked, "if you don''t come here, do you want to stand there and watch me eat?"


    His tone softened a little, not as cold as when he just talked with Lin Bai.


    She gathered up her thoughts, went to the table in silence and sat opposite him.


    Lan Qing stretched out a hand, pressed his slender finger on the mobile phone on the table, pushed it directly in front of her, then retracted his hand, picked up the knife and fork beside his hand, and said:


    "This is your new mobile phone, which has set my number as speed dial. If you have anything in the future, please call me the first time." The tone is as casual as if it''s home chatter.


    "Don''t you hurry to eat? Are you going to see me


    He still didn''t master the skill of joking so skillfully that when he spoke with his eyebrows, his tone sounded like irony.


    Li Qingning seems to have been used to his various tone, just a faint smile, and then moved forward, began to pick up the knife and fork, quietly small mouth to mouth with food.


    Since that night in the Li family, she seems to have exhausted all the essence, now she is like a fresh body.


    At first, she was not afraid of anything, met anything lightly, did not have the previous kind of cowardice, and even became more fearless.


    But no matter what kind of emotion, it seems that she has been unable to reach the depths of her soul. Her eyes are always empty and indifferent. It seems that her soul has fallen into a deep sleep.


    On the table were the first-class steaks that had been airlifted from the beef ranch in the United States that day, and the steaks made by the Michelin chef.


    Li Qingning put small pieces into her mouth, but she didn''t know what she was thinking. She just felt that her heart was in a mess, like a dense ball of thread.


    The sound of knife and fork colliding with the tabletop came from the opposite side. She raised her head and saw that Lan Qing put the napkin on her knee aside, leaned against the back of the chair, looked at her and asked, "if you have any questions, please ask."


    It''s strange. He seems to be really good at mind reading.


    Or was her emotion too obvious, she murmured in her heart.


    "Is that... The aunt that director Lin said?"


    She still did not resist to ask her inner doubts, although she had the answer, and what she wanted to ask was not these.


    What makes her really curious is why Lan Qing''s mother wants to return home, but it seems that Lin Bai is really happy?


    What''s more, did the phone call in the office in the morning also have something to do with this?


    However, she felt that asking too many questions seemed too much for her, so she asked the obvious question.


    Lan Qing leaned quietly on the back of the chair with her arms naturally in front of her body. Her face was as quiet as a model in a magazine. He thought for a few seconds, then answered faintly, "well."


    Li Qingning didn''t know how to continue the conversation, so he had to eat with his head down. At the moment, he was eating the exquisite steak on the plate, but he didn''t like it.


    Before waiting for her to ask any more questions, he went on to say to himself, "my mother, she lives abroad all the year round. Last time she came back in a hurry and wanted to meet my wedding partner, but she missed it."


    His eyes drifted in the air and seemed to talk to himself.


    Suddenly, he looked up at her and asked seriously, "now, what''s the problem?"


    As if to feel the heat in his eyes, she also raised her head to his eyes, there is a kind of sincerity she has never seen.


    So she summoned up the courage to ask her deepest question, "what happened between you and Lin Bai? Why did it become what it is today? "


    I don''t know if it''s because I heard Lin Bai''s name, or this problem touched his forbidden area. His expression suddenly cooled down, and even the look in his eyes gradually faded down, as if a long-standing lamp had been pulled out.


    She lowered her head and continued to slice the steak in front of her eyes. She said in a low voice, "if you don''t want to answer, then forget it. I just think that when I first met Lin Bai, your relationship seemed to be good... Some curiosity about how to develop to today''s situation, maybe I think it''s too simple..."


    "In the middle of this, a lot of things happened... At the beginning, I just regarded her as my sister..."


    Lan Qing leaned forward slightly, approached the table, picked up the red wine on the table and sipped, "and, she changed first. Don''t you think... Lin Bai is different from when you first met her?"


    Li Qingning looked up at him and nodded gently.


    "At the beginning, you and Ruan Feihan were exposed. She and Feng Chi joined hands to do it."


    His expression seemed very calm, but she widened her eyes in surprise.


    "What did you say? Why are they doing this? " The tone was full of surprise.


    He gently raised the corner of his mouth and said something she didn''t understand. "In this world, everyone has their own mission. Some people have different purposes, but the same thing can meet their different purposes at the same time. So these people will choose to join hands. Li Qingning, the world is far less simple than you think."


    Yes, she is too simple. She always believes in absolute love and hatred. But in the adult world, everything is not absolute. A close friend who once made friends with you may turn against you overnight.


    The expression on Li Qingning''s face looked a little depressed, and he was overwhelmed by the sudden reality.


    For a long time, she whispered to herself, "I don''t know Lin Bai, but sooner or later Feng and I got to know each other. How could he... Do such a thing..."


    Lan Qing sat up straight, stretched out his hand to cover her hand on the table, his hand with firm strength, but also with magic, let her heart pressure on the big stone instantly become a lot lighter.


    "Li Qingning, don''t be afraid. There will be me in the future." There was a certainty in his eyes.


    However, all day long, Li Qingning always seemed absent-minded.


    After returning to the office, Li Lin looked at her overcast face and asked, "Qingning, what''s the matter with you?"


    "Ah? It''s OK. Maybe... I''m a little tired. " She sat behind her desk and tried to squeeze out a smile at Li Lin, but she still felt heavy in her heart.


    She really can''t figure out why Feng Chi should treat himself like this. She always regards him as a good friend. When he was "chased" by the media, she didn''t want to go to Lan Qing for him.


    Why is the adult world so complicated?
