Actually, a long time ago, when Tang Jinyan and Zhao Mingren, the chief of the Qingliang Police Station, were having a meal together, they had talked about this problem: Getting married at this time would be harming others …
There were two levels to harming others. First, the other party would be dragged into a dangerous situation. Second, if something happened to him, the other party would be in trouble.
Both levels were harming others, and there was no solution.
Originally, he really didn't have any plans to find a woman he liked to date and marry. He knew from the beginning that it would be harming others.
But he couldn't help but push himself forward, and as he walked, he came to his current situation.
On the other hand, Mr. Li's acceptance of this kind of thing was much better than theirs. Because he had been through it, he knew that there was no such thing as a career that could be climbed to the top without going through risks.
Was the Zheng family powerful?
Wasn't it because a few masters had died miserably in all sorts of ways?
Was the president powerful?
How many presidents in South Korea could die a good death?
"Um … Zhixian, Dad's job is also dangerous, but I don't see you feeling sorry for me."
As soon as he said this, Li Juli blinked, as if she felt that this analogy wasn't quite right, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She scratched her head and said in a low voice, "I was too agitated, Dad."
Mr. Li suddenly realized something. In fact, there were some things that he didn't have to mediate. This young man and woman knew better than anyone else. His presence here seemed to be very abrupt.
He looked at the silent Tang Jinyan meaningfully and said lightly, "I'm full, I'll take my leave first.
Jinyan, send Zhixian back … Don't get any ideas. "
Tang Jinyan smiled bitterly and said, "How could I?"
Mr. Li nodded and got up. When he passed by the two of them, he paused, shook his head, sighed, and strode out the door.
He really didn't know how to intervene in the relationship between a man and a woman, especially when the other party was Tang Jinyan. He was happy to see it happen, and he didn't really want to stop it.
Of course, it had to be his wife …
Anyway, he had already warned them, and as a father, this was all he could do. He also believed that whether it was Tang Jinyan or his daughter, they were very rational people and wouldn't do anything that would disappoint them.
As soon as Father Li left, the atmosphere of a single man and woman became very charming.
Li Juli lowered her head and murmured, "It seems that every time you guys eat, you are always disturbed by me … Am I very unreasonable …"
"No." Tang Jinyan shook his head. He picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl. "Let's eat."
Li Juli did not eat the meat and said in a low voice, "Just now … I said it on behalf of Soyeon. Don't think too much."
Tang Jinyan took a sip from his wine glass. "For people like me, let alone that kind of relationship, even if they were close to me, they would be dragged into a dangerous whirlpool.
Are … are you guys scared? "
"I'm not afraid." Li Juli's voice was very soft, but her tone was very firm.
"Since you're not afraid of yourself, why are you worried about me?
Do you think I, Tang Jinyan, will get into trouble so easily? "
Tang Jinyan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and played with the glass casually. Suddenly, he smiled. "The number of people who like you is probably ten thousand times more than the number of people who want to kill me. You see, you're still single now. How can I be finished so easily?
Don't worry. "
Li Juli bit her lower lip. "But I can't be single for the rest of my life."
Tang Jinyan did not say anything.
Li Juli said faintly, "If I were to find someone to go on a blind date, what would you think?"
Tang Jinyan's hand, which was playing with the glass, suddenly tightened.
Li Juli also clenched her teeth tightly.
Her mood, which she had just pretended to be calm, suddenly became unstable again.
"The glass is empty."
Li Juli sat up slightly and took the bottle of wine to refill his glass. Watching the wine slowly flowing along the edge of the glass, she suddenly asked, "If I didn't come today, would you have asked for a hostess?"
"… Yes."
"Would you have been careless?"
"Yes."
"After the event … would you have done that?"
"That's not necessarily true. It depends on the mood."
The wine glass was filled, and the question and answer came to an abrupt end.
Li Juli looked at the wine in the glass and whispered, "I think I'm quite like a hostess today."
Tang Jinyan sighed. "But you're not."
Li Juli tilted her head and looked at him. "You sound a little disappointed?"
"Yeah, it would be great if you were …."
"Are you … flirting with me again?"
Tang Jinyan's throat moved. In the end, he did not say anything.
Li Juli lowered her head again. After a long time, she whispered, "Actually … deep down, you want to be me too, don't you?"
Tang Jinyan looked at the wine glass, and his eyes became deep. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"But you're afraid, aren't you?"
Li Juli's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You're afraid of the consequences. You're afraid that Soyeon will be sad. You're afraid that you'll have to bear the responsibility. You're afraid that your cooperation with my father will fall apart, right?
That's right. Master Tang Jiu has always been such a rational man. He knows when to advance and when to retreat. He knows when to give up and when to give up. He knows how to judge the situation. He's always been meticulous. Even if he wants to live an easy life, he only dares to flirt with me verbally. "
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Jinyan abruptly interrupted, "That's enough."
Li Juli looked at him coldly. "Actually, it's quite meaningless for you to live like this. Triad? Big boss? You're obviously even more useless than an ordinary person."
Tang Jinyan said slowly, "I thought you were a very calm and rational person …"
"Perhaps I am most of the time." Li Juli said placidly, "But I'm a woman."
Tang Jinyan was taken aback. She continued, "You men have your own reasons.
But sometimes, women … can be unreasonable. "
Tang Jinyan's mouth twitched. He was speechless.
Rationally, both of them had a lot of worries in their hearts. Tang Jinyan had all kinds of worries, and so did Li Juli. They could see through each other's feelings better than anyone else. They understood each other better than anyone else.
The difference was that women had the right to be unreasonable.
Tang Jinyan knew why she suddenly became unreasonable.
She was already 26 years old. Sooner or later, she would find a man. She couldn't be single forever. Their relationship would be completely severed one day — if no one could break the deadlock.
She was actually quite conflicted in her heart. She felt that he should be like this and even warned him not to tease her. She was also speaking up for Suyan.
Subconsciously, she was also quite disappointed. What happened to being a triad?
What happened to being unscrupulous?
If you're afraid of this and that, how can you break the deadlock?
You're a man, but you don't dare to bear the consequences. Are you waiting to be pushed down?
All this time, why did she always have an obsession to get him drunk?
He could understand the taste of it.
How good would it be to get drunk … Then, she could throw away all her worries, right?
Tang Jinyan looked at the full glass of red wine. Suddenly, he tilted his head back and gulped it down. The wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth to his neck and chest, but he didn't seem to feel it.
