This intermediary can handle it. If you buy a house, you will give it to your girlfriend!

Lin Yuan was about to leave the office when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen and frowned slightly, it was Qin Xuelian.

After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hey, Lin Yuan, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal." Qin Xuelian's voice came from the speaker, with a hint of deliberate sweetness.

Liu Xueyi was standing next to Lin Yuan. When he heard the invitation, he immediately frowned. He eagerly shook his head at Lin Yuan and gestured for him to refuse.

Lin Yuan saw Liu Xueyi's reaction.

But there was a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have any plans."

Lin Yuan answered easily, without any hesitation in his tone.

When Liu Xueyi heard this, the expression on his face instantly changed from worry to surprise. He patted his forehead hard, obviously feeling helpless at Lin Yuan's decision.

"Great! Let's meet at the 'Haitian Pavilion' at seven o'clock. I've already reserved a seat."

Qin Xuelian's voice contained excitement that could not be concealed.

"Okay, see you then."

Lin Yuan answered briefly and then hung up the phone.

Liu Xueyi immediately spoke, "Lin Yuan, are you crazy? How can you agree to her? Don't you remember what happened last time?"

Lin Yuan turned around and faced Liu Xueyi, with a faint smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Lao Liu, I know what you are thinking."

"But sometimes it's more effective to be proactive than to be reactive."

Liu Xueyi frowned, obviously still not understanding Lin Yuan's thoughts.

"What on earth are you planning?"

Lin Yuan walked to the window, looked at the bustling city outside the window, and said slowly.

"I want to see what Qin Xuelian is up to. Instead of always being on tenterhooks, it's better to take the initiative and see what she wants to do."

Liu Xueyi took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

"Lin Yuan, I understand your thinking, but this is too dangerous. You almost did it last time..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Lin Yuan knew what he was referring to.

Lin Yuan turned around and looked directly into Liu Xueyi's eyes.

"I understand your worries, but please believe me, I will be careful. Moreover, this may be a good opportunity for us to understand Boss A's plan."

Liu Xueyi was silent for a while, and then said firmly.

"Okay, but I have to send you more police to covertly protect you. You have to promise me this."

Lin Yuan nodded and showed a grateful smile.

"Of course, I promise you. Thank you, Lao Liu."

Liu Xueyi patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder, with concern in his tone, "You have to be careful, Lin Yuan. Qin Xuelian has a complex mind, and we don't know what she wants to do yet."

Lin Yuan nodded to express understanding, then began to pack his things and prepare to leave the office.

He was already thinking about various scenarios that might happen tonight and how to deal with them.

Lin Yuan walked into the boss's office with a solemn look on his face.

The boss was working on documents. When he looked up and saw Lin Yuan, he immediately put down the pen in his hand.

"Boss, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yuan said straight to the point.

The boss motioned for him to sit down and frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Judging from your expression, you don't seem too optimistic."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and briefly explained Qin Xuelian's invitation to him for dinner.

After hearing this, the expression on the boss's face became more serious.

"Are you planning to go to the appointment?" the boss asked.

There was clear concern in his tone. Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, I think this may be a good opportunity to understand Boss A's plan."

The boss thought for a moment and then said.

"I understand where you're coming from, but this is too dangerous and we can't take the risk."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, the boss raised his hand to signal him not to speak.

"However, since you have decided, I will not stop you. However, I will arrange a few bodyguards to protect you secretly."

The boss said, picking up the phone on the table.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised: "Boss, Captain Liu has actually arranged for the police to protect me."

The boss smiled slightly: "Double protection is always good. We can't put all our eggs in one basket, can we?"

In this way, under double protection, Lin Yuan came to "Haitian Pavilion" as promised.

He pushed open the door of the box and saw Qin Xuelian already sitting there, touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.

"Lin Yuan, you are here."

When Qin Xuelian saw him, she immediately stood up with a sweet smile on her face.

Lin Yuan nodded politely and sat down opposite her.

The waiter brought the menu and after the two of them finished ordering, there was a brief silence in the private room.

"Miss Qin, did you ask me out for something?"

Lin Yuan asked directly.

Qin Xuelian's eyes lingered on Lin Yuan's handsome face, seeming to be distracted.

She came to her senses, a shy blush appearing on her face.

"Lin Yuan, I. I actually want to talk to you alone."

Qin Xuelian said, suddenly reaching out and touching the back of Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan retracted his hand like a reflex, with an obvious look of disgust on his face.

"Miss Qin, please respect yourself."

When Qin Xuelian saw Lin Yuan's reaction, a look of hurt flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Lin Yuan, you don't understand. Gu Changchuan... he's not a thing at all. I'm really unhappy."

Lin Yuan looked at her coldly and said nothing.

Qin Xuelian raised her head, with tears in her eyes.

"I know you may not believe me, but I really. really like you. From the first time I saw you, I..."

"That's enough."

Lin Yuan interrupted her, with obvious impatience in his tone.

"Ms. Qin, I don't know what you want to do, but I hope you can maintain basic professional ethics. You are boss A's subordinate, and I am a partner of Gu Group. There should not be anything between us that goes beyond the scope of work. relation."

Qin Xuelian's expression froze instantly, and the tears in her eyes seemed to evaporate in an instant.

She looked at Lin Yuan steadily, the expression on her face gradually became complicated.

"Lin Yuan, do you really think so?"

Her voice deepened.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, just looked at her coldly.

Qin Xuelian suddenly smiled, and that smile made Lin Yuan feel a little shuddering.

"Okay, now that you've said so and come this far, I won't pretend anymore."

Qin Xuelian leaned back, and the gentle look on her face dimmed.

Her tone suddenly became cold, "Lin Yuan, you think you are smart, don't you? What I hate the most is how nosy and self-righteous you are now!"

"Who do you think you are? You have no idea what you're dealing with."

"When that day comes, I would also like to see what your expression is like!"
