Chapter 12
Zimmer was indeed not disappointed, and something interesting happened.
When everyone arrives, take a seat.
The seating of the long dining table is a bit particular, the host is in the main seat, and the guests sit on both sides of the dining table.Of the three of them, Yan Li was the main seat, and Jimo and Lin Lei should sit on the left and right sides of him.
But right now there are three sets of tableware, one set is placed on the main seat, one set is placed on the right side of the main seat, and the other set is actually placed opposite the main seat, at the other end of the long table—that is, in the usual sense. , the seat belonging to the hostess.
Lin Lei's expression was a little subtle when she saw it, and the corners of her eyes were slightly happy, and she stopped naturally, waiting for Yan Li to open the seat for her gentlemanly.
Seeing this, Yan Li frowned imperceptibly, secretly blaming the nanny for being troubled.
This nanny had met Lin Lei before and knew her "identity", so she took the opportunity to please her, but she didn't know that she had done unnecessary things with Yan Li.
Yan Li was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just grabbed Jimo who was walking straight forward, pulled out the chair, and pushed him inside.
Zimmer: "..."
Then Yan Li took a few steps forward, opened the seat on his right, and gestured to Lin Lei.
Lin Lei obviously couldn't understand this operation, she was a little confused, her footsteps hesitated a little, and she walked over slowly while maintaining her elegant posture and a smile on her lips.
The dinner was very quiet, with occasional clinking of knives and forks and plates.
"Mr. Ji, I heard from Carson that although you are superiors and subordinates in the company, you are good friends in private. You moved here because your rented house expired?" Lin Lei raised the topic.
Ji Mo looked at Yan Li meaningfully, and answered her question: "Mr. Yan said that I am his friend? That's really an honor. But, we are not friends now."
"...Really?" Lin Lei's smile was still sweet, without any reluctance, "Then what is your relationship now?"
"Of course it's a better and further relationship than friends. Isn't it, Mr. Yan?"
Yan Li methodically cut the lamb chops, but did not deny or affirm this.
After a while, he asked, "Layla, how long are you going to stay this time?"
"Actually, I'm preparing a dissertation. The research direction is traditional Chinese folklore. This time I flew here specially to collect materials, and I will probably stay a little longer."
"Is the hotel booked? If not, I'll ask someone to book it for you."
Lin Lei smiled embarrassedly: "I don't really want to stay in a hotel. After all, I'm a girl, alone, and I'm not familiar with the country, so I feel a little unsafe..."
Yan Li didn't answer.
Lin Lei waited for a while, her smile froze a little bit.
"How about arranging a room for Ms. Lin here?" Jimo interrupted suddenly, "I just wonder if Ms. Lin would dislike living under the same roof with me? Ah, of course I will never harass Ms. Lin , I can assure you."
Lin Lei didn't expect that Ji Mo would rescue her, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Where, I believe that Mr. Ji is a gentleman."
Afterwards, her usual sweet expression returned to her face, and she looked at Yan Li expectantly, with a trace of uneasiness in her beautiful black and white eyes.
Yue Mo is a man, so he can't bear to disappoint such a beautiful woman—but if that man is already bent, it's not necessarily so.Ji Mo is not sure how Yan Li will answer, he looks at him as if watching a play, with a playful smile on his lips.
Ji Mo's intention to make trouble was too obvious, Yan Li stared at him for a few times, then faced Lin Lei and said indifferently: "You are a girl, and it is inconvenient to live with two men after all. I have an apartment in the city center , you can live there during this time, shopping and travel are very convenient, I will send someone to take care of your daily life."
"...Alright, thank you Carson." Lin Lei forced a smile.
"You're welcome."
Ji Mo, who was on the sidelines, had a second of sympathy for Lin Lei, who was obviously very angry but still kept smiling.
At this point in the dinner, Lin Lei couldn't eat anymore, but she still maintained her demeanor until the end.
Not long after, the villa ushered in a visitor—Master Zhao, who has been making leather shoes for Yan Li all the year round.
Master Zhao has been in this business for more than [-] years, and he is familiar with the foot sizes of all regular customers, including the length of each toe.Of course, you still need to weigh it after a period of time. After all, the data of the human body will change with age. Although this change is minimal, as a veteran craftsman who strives for perfection, he will never be sloppy.
After exchanging simple greetings, Master Zhao took out tools and asked Yan Li to take off his shoes.
"It's not for me to measure." Yan Li said.
"Then... is this lady?" Master Zhao couldn't help looking at Lin Lei, guessing her relationship with Yan Li.
"No, I'm making a pair of shoes for my friend." Yan Li pointed to Jimo.
"Hey, stop it!"
"Didn't you say it was uncomfortable to wear my shoes?"
"Then there's no need to make a pair for me! You won't be able to wear them a few times, what a waste!"
"It doesn't matter."
"Don't be so extravagant, you will be struck by lightning."
At the end of the dispute, Ji Mo still reluctantly took off his shoes and exposed his soles to measure the size, considering that it would be difficult to call the elderly teacher for nothing.
Zimmer's feet are slender, with long and slender toes, and his toenails are trimmed smoothly and roundly, especially when the light hits the white feet with a little reflection, which is pleasing to the eye and attracts attention like a display.
For example, Yan Li never looked away.
In order to measure more accurately, Master Zhao held Ji Mo's feet and looked left and right, and used various rulers to make gestures. Yan Li saw that it was very unbalanced.
I haven't even touched it yet!
Lin Lei was watching in confusion. Her fiancé and a friend were so nice that they wore the same pair of shoes, and they even asked their own shoemaker to come and make shoes for him?
It would be normal for the two little sisters to get along like this, but Yan Li has always treated others calmly and indifferently, even with her fiancee in name, it is really hard to tell that he is such a considerate person.
If the above is not the point!Then it's weird that he insisted on staring at other people's feet, right?
It stands to reason that Lin Lei and Jimo are not familiar with each other, and she should avoid it when others take off their shoes, but she just stood there stupidly, looking at this scene, feeling strange in her heart.
What Lin Lei didn't expect was that her third blow came quickly and violently.
Because the apartment in the city center hadn't been cleaned yet, and it was late today, Lin Lei decided to stay in the villa for one night and leave tomorrow.
This request was reasonable, and Yan Li had no reason to object.
Next, Lin Lei witnessed Ji Mo walk into the next door to the master bedroom.
And her fiancée's room was on the other side far from the master bedroom.
