CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 71: LOVE REQUIRES CAUTION (2)

Upon hearing, the man walked into the counter, hugged Li Mei from behind, his gaze stayed on the sales figures on the computer.

He said affectionately, "Silly girl, as long as it’s someone I like, my parents will agree.

Previously, I told my parents I wouldn’t get married. Now that I’ve met you, I want to get married, they’re happy about it!"

Listening to this, Li Mei felt as if her heart was filled with honey-like sweetness.

She didn’t hesitate long and nodded in agreement to go home with her boyfriend to meet his parents.

Having heard the whole scene, Lin Xiaoyan: ......

She never imagined a woman could be this irrational when in love!

As an outsider, even she found the man’s words unreliable; how could the boss believe him???

"Ding..."

Suddenly, a long slip of paper emerged from the printer.

Li Mei immediately snapped back to reality, picked up the long order slip, and quickly nudged her boyfriend.

"You go ahead, the order is here, I’ll finish this order and then go back with you."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you." The man stood up gently and walked to the chair nearby to sit down.

His tender gaze was fixed on Li Mei.

"Xiao Lin, the order is here."

Lin Xiaoyan came over.

"You handle these below, I’ll do the ones above..."

Li Mei quickly arranged.

"Okay."

Lin Xiaoyan took half of the order, glanced at it, and quickly began to prepare.

"Xiao Lin, could you help me with the coconut jelly..."

"Sure."

The coconut jelly was right in front of Lin Xiaoyan, she picked it up and turned to hand it to Li Mei.

Li Mei quickly took it, her fingers touching Lin Xiaoyan’s hand.

Lin Xiaoyan froze for a moment.

"Hm? Xiao Lin, why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and make it, the delivery guy will be here any moment."

Li Mei turned and saw the dazed Lin Xiaoyan, she frowned, her tone somewhat displeased.

She had something else to do later.

Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to attention, glanced at Li Mei, her eyes flashed with reluctance, she took a deep breath, "Sorry, I’ll finish it right away."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly moved to finish pouring the remaining milk tea.

Her mind replaying the scenes she had just "seen."

Her gaze couldn’t help but wander to the man sitting not far away.

Completely inconspicuous, just like a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Li Mei noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze, her sense of crisis immediately rose, "Xiao Lin!"

She warned, shouting at Lin Xiaoyan, who quickly retracted her gaze and focused on making the milk tea.

Li Mei glared at Lin Xiaoyan, then looked at her boyfriend nearby.

The corners of the man’s mouth curled up, silently saying, "Jealous!"

Li Mei playfully glared at him and continued working.

The smile on the man’s face gradually faded, his gaze shifted to Lin Xiaoyan, scrutinizing her figure with critical eyes.

Lin Xiaoyan felt the man’s gaze, her whole body tensed, quickly finishing the remaining milk tea, praying in her heart to hurry up so they could leave.

"Finished, it’s all done."

Li Mei quickly completed her part too, the way Lin Xiaoyan had looked at her boyfriend earlier felt somewhat dangerous.

She finally met such an excellent, perfect man, she couldn’t let others take him away!

"Ready to go?"

The man got up and approached, his face full of concern.

"You worked hard, are you tired?"

Li Mei looked at the man’s concerned gaze, her smile even broader, "I’m not tired, I’m used to it."

Hearing Li Mei’s words, the man felt even more tender.

"In the future, leave this kind of tiring work to me, you just sit and supervise peacefully, you don’t have to do anything!"

Li Mei was overjoyed, "Alright."

"Xiao Lin, I have things to do first, please take care of the shop, I’m almost hiring someone, just a couple more days of hard work."

"Okay."

Li Mei and her boyfriend left, Lin Xiaoyan watched their departing figures, exhaled heavily.

She immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.

"Hello, Xiao Lin, is it another case?"

Mao Hong saw the familiar phone number, answered immediately, and asked with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly recounted the scene she had "seen" earlier.

Mao Hong’s face, which was originally smiling, turned heavy upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s account.

"Okay, I’ve noted it down, don’t worry about work, I’ll tell the captain right away."

After hanging up, Mao Hong quickly got up with the recorded contents and ran to the office.

"Xiao Lin called!"

Mao Hong’s words made all the officers in the office lift their heads quickly, their eyes lighting up looking at Mao Hong.

Mao Hong held up the notebook, "Big case! Big case!"

Captain Ma got up excitedly, "What case?"

"Trafficking!"

All the officers: !!!

Indeed, it’s a big case!

Everyone’s face showed smiles, they’ll have another accomplishment on their resume...

He Qi’an coughed once, signaling everyone to be serious.

Everyone immediately became solemn, looking at Mao Hong, waiting for her to elaborate.

After Mao Hong repeated what Lin Xiaoyan had said, she turned and left.

The office was quiet, everyone’s eyes eagerly looked at He Qi’an, hoping to participate in the operation.

He Qi’an quickly went through the case in his mind.

"Zhang Ming, go investigate Li Mei’s information."

Zhang Ming: "Yes!"

"Ning Xuan, check the man’s information and the situation in his hometown."

Ning Xuan: "Yes!"

"Li He, Yi Bian, you two track Li Mei’s whereabouts, follow them, find out where they’re heading..."

...

He Qi’an calmly arranged everything.

Everyone began to work busily, full of energy and enthusiasm.

After Lin Xiaoyan finished the call, she felt much more relaxed.

In her heart, she sighed, probably after this incident, the boss would be more firm in her non-marriage stance!

In the future, she probably won’t easily trust any man she sees...

Sigh.

Nowadays, you have to be careful even when dating!

Li Mei is thirty years old this year.

Her parents met a car accident and died when she was in college.

She no longer has any family in this world, fortunately, at that time due to her parents’ incident, she received a compensation of one million.

Her parents left her an apartment and several hundred thousand in savings.

This money is enough for Li Mei to live on.

But, what’s the use of having money?

What she wants is her parents!

Because of this money, she encountered many men with clear goals.

They didn’t like her or love her, they just wanted to marry her to get the money!

Li Mei understood the motives of these people, so she didn’t want to get married.

What’s the point of getting married?

She has money and a house, living for herself is great!

No worries about food and clothing, no need to curry favor, no need to revolve around kids and family all day, isn’t that wonderful!

Who would be so foolish as to enter the grave of marriage!

However, fate is so unpredictable.

She met her destined one!

Originally, she was dragged by her good friend to pretend to be her friend for a date.

Her good friend already had a boyfriend but was pressured by her family to go on a blind date.

So, she was dragged along to take the bullet.

Who could have thought she and her friend’s date would hit it off?
