"Since Mr. Quan has accepted my offer and agreed to a cooperation, this calls for a celebration. Should I open a bottle of wine?"
"Miss Xiao, have you misunderstood something? When did I agree to a cooperation?" Quan Yu really wanted to laugh seeing how excited Xiao Yue was.
"Well, that is just inevitable. After all, I will agree to any kind of conditions Mr. Quan can think of." Xiao Yue looked up and tried to be as adorable as possible. She pouted her lips and bemoaned, "I've already lowered myself so much. Mr. Quan, you can't possibly think of bullying me any further."
Ah Si behind Quan Yu was hit by waves of goosebumps. He really didn't know what to say.. If this woman really thinks dropping innuendos and grinding herself on young master will claim his heart, she'll be sorely mistaken.
Xiao Yue waved at the bartender and a waiter came over with 2 glasses of alcohol. "3 shots of Gin, 1 shot of Vodka, half shot of absinthe and peeled lemon. I wonder if Mr. Quan will fancy this or not." She picked up the glass and winked naughtily, "A drink fits for a man as smooth as the Bond. Yes, this is my trick to get Brother Yu drunk so that you'd work with me."
Ah Si was hit by another wave of goosebumps. He had to admit that Xiao Yue was very persistent but she placed her effort in the wrong place. As the saying goes, who is going to buy the milk when you're freely giving away the milk? Furthermore, Ah Si honestly thought Mo Li looked prettier than Xiao Yu and Mo Li definitely conducted herself with more dignity and grace.
Quan Yu shared Ah Si's thought. If he wasn't there to find out what this woman was up to, he wouldn't have stayed there to waste time.
Seeing the deliberate, purposeful smile on Xiao Yue's face, Quan Yu realized he preferred Mo Li's sarcastic jibs. And the moment he thought about Mo Li, Quan Yu couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Yue naturally misconstrued this as her charm working. She quickly clinked his glass with hers. "Brother Yu, I'll consider this a beginning of a wonderful cooperation."
Quan Yu really had no idea where this woman found her confidence. But it had drawn his attention.
Xiao Yue had no idea that a man who stood at the door had seen everything.
...
It was 6.30 pm. Qiao Qing hurried down the street after dinner. She sat in the taxi and looked around before she descended. She saw the man standing under a tree.
"Sorry for being late, there was something I need to deal with back home. When did you arrive? And why didn't you get into the cafe?" The person who was waiting for Qiao Qing was Xiao Yue's civil servant boyfriend, Chen Suo.
He was holding a bouquet of roses but the flowers were all ruined like they had been viciously torn apart. Looking at him, Qiao Qing had a bad feeling.
The man's lips were tight but he still tried to force a smile when he saw Qiao Qing. "Hi, are you Miss Qiao Qing? I heard from Yue... Xiao Yue that the Mo Family has wishes for a cooperation."
Qiao Qing frowned. Xiao Yue said that the man would always call him Yue Yue and it annoyed her. Qiao Qing felt something was wrong but she didn't think too much of it.
They had a quick talk. Qiao Qing handed Chen Suo a fake report but it was clear that Chen Suo's mind was not with her. When Qiao Qing mentioned Mo Li wanted to meet him, Chen Suo merely shrugged.
Chen Suo left without saying anything after they were done. This confused Qiao Qing.
Due to her curiosity, Qiao Qing decided to follow Chen Suo. When they reached the cafe, Qiao Qing's face dropped. How is this possible? How can the man know that Xiao Yue will be meeting Quan Yu here today?
Chen Suo stared at the 2 people as Quan Yu walked Xiao Yue outside. Xiao Yue leaned close to Quan Yu. She took out an invitation letter and stuffed it into his shirt pocket with a smile. Her face was red and she appeared to be a little tipsy. "Brother Yu, this is a deal then. You'll have to attend my birthday party next weekend..."
Quan Yu didn't speak. After all, his goal had been achieved.
