Chapter 83 The boss has a girlfriend?
"It was last night..." Forget it, let's not mention it.

She felt that Ji Zebei didn't take what she said to heart at all.

Seeing that she stopped talking, the man lowered his eyes and continued to read the newspaper.

As if remembering something, the man suddenly raised his head and said to her, "I contacted the unlocking company for you."

"Oh."

This is the second time that Ji Zebei has helped her contact the unlocking company.

"Have you always had this kind of forgetfulness?"

"..."

"You can't go to the lock company to change the lock as soon as you encounter this situation. If you don't worry about me, you can leave the key with me, just in case."

Lu Ran scratched his head, thinking that Ji Zebei's proposal could be considered, but she was a girl who lived alone after all, so it seemed inappropriate to hand over her keys to him.

"Is it okay?" Ji Zebei asked her, "Don't worry, I don't have the habit of sneaking into other people's homes. If you are worried about me, you can leave the key with Ye Zhian."

She thought about it, and said with a wry smile, "It's more convenient to put it here with you."

The man gave a faint "hmm", put down the newspaper and took a sip of milk from his glass.

"Don't worry about me at noon, I'll go to the store."

Lu Ran nodded.

After eating, she waited until the people from the unlocking company came to change the lock, handed over a spare key to Ji Zebei, and went home.

Turning on the computer, she looked at the resumes submitted before, but there was no reply.

Staying at home until the evening, she began to wash and dress up, and put on a thick suit, wrapped like a winter bear.

At six o'clock, Ji Zebei sent a message asking if she was okay.

She replied with a good word, then put on her bag and went out.

Ji Zebei also came out soon. The man was dressed in the same way as usual, with a black Korean coat and a beige scarf.

The man looked her up and smiled, "I wear a lot."

"It might snow today."

"Weather forecasts are never accurate."

"It's going to snow at Christmas, that's how it's played in the movies."

"..." You've watched too many movies.

The two took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the apartment.

Ji Zebei tried to call several restaurants to make reservations, but none of them got a reservation, so he had to tell the manager at Ji Fanzhai to reserve a table for two on the second floor.

Even on Christmas Eve, the restaurant still couldn't book all the tables like other restaurants, and the business was getting worse and worse.

Thinking of this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.

Several main roads in Shangjing City have been closed and vehicles are prohibited from passing. Traffic police and special police have been dispatched on a large scale to maintain law and order.

Heping Road is the closest to the food street, and on Christmas Eve and Christmas, there will be many hawkers setting up stalls on this road, offering everything you can eat, drink, and play.

There are a lot of pedestrians, some look like a family, some are young couples, and there are old people with children.

Lu Ran took a fancy to a very delicate and beautifully packaged Ping An fruit at a booth, and wanted to buy it. When she subconsciously touched the bag, she felt a cold hand.

She was startled, and when she looked down, it was a big hand that was slightly red and rough from the cold. The hand was on her bag, and the moment it touched her hand, it retracted very quickly. Looking in the retracted direction, he met a man who was not too tall, with dark skin and thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The man looked away awkwardly and blended into the crowd.

She quickly pulled Ji Zebei beside her, and whispered, "Mr. Ji, there are thieves nearby, watch your wallet."

The man chuckled, "I only have one key in my pocket, nothing to steal."

"You came out without your wallet?"

"Mobile payment is fine."

Only then did she notice that the man's cell phone was always in his hand, and there was really nothing to steal.

She hugged her bag to her chest and was about to take out her wallet when Ji Zebei walked to the Ping Anguo booth and paid ten yuan for her a Ping Anguo.

"give you."

She was a little dazed, and reached out to take the Ping An fruit, thinking that she should give one to Ji Zebei. The man seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "I don't like apples, so don't waste the money."

Just as Lu Ran was about to say something, a passing passerby bumped her shoulder suddenly. She staggered, and Ji Zebei had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed her over.

Putting his arms around her shoulders, he said, "Follow me closely."

On the night of Christmas Eve, there was a real jumble of good and bad people on the street.

The two walked on Heping Road like a walk, and when they saw anything interesting, Lu Ran couldn't help but drag Ji Zebei forward to join in the fun.

Ji Zebei smiled wryly, "Can't we go eat first?"

He was already hungry.

Lu Ran put a hairpin with fluffy rabbit ears on his head, and asked him, "Does it look good?"

"ugly."

She curled her lips, picked out a hairpin with fox ears, and when Ji Zebei wasn't paying attention, she stood on tiptoe and put it on Ji Zebei's head. She also brought the mirror on the booth in front of him and showed it to him.

"You are very suitable for this, I will see you off." She said with a smile.

Ji Zebei: ...

After that, the two walked towards Ji Fanzhai.

The streets are full of Christmas decorations, including Ji Fanzhai's quaint restaurant. There is a smiling Santa Claus at the door as a welcome. Whenever someone enters the store, Santa Claus will say 'Welcome' with a smile.

There is a Christmas tree on the first floor, which is full of baubles, and there are many small gift boxes exquisitely wrapped in colored paper.

She heard from the store manager that customers who enter the store can pick a small gift from the tree before leaving. She fell in love with a purple gift box because she found that there are so many gift boxes hanging on the tree, only this one is purple.

She asked Ji Zebei, "Can I choose a small gift now?"

Ji Zebei smiled slightly, "Yes."

She took a few steps forward, took down the little purple gift box from the Christmas tree, and followed Ji Zebei upstairs.

While they were enjoying delicious food by the window on the second floor, Xu Jiajia was busy in the kitchen.

Although Ji Fanzhai's business is not as hot as other restaurants, there are still many more table reservations for Christmas Eve than usual.

While she was busy, she suddenly heard Zhu Yuan gossiping: "I went to the bathroom just now and met the waiter in the front hall. Guess what, the boss brought a woman to the restaurant for dinner."

"The boss has a girlfriend?"

"It must have happened. Who would believe that the woman I brought out to have dinner with on Christmas Eve is not my girlfriend?"

"What does it look like?"

"It seems to be that food columnist. His name is Lu. I can't remember the name."

"That columnist, I heard from the waiter, is quite handsome."

"I didn't expect our boss to like this type."

……

Listening to a few people chatting excitedly, Xu Jiajia's face turned black.

On such an important day as Christmas Eve, Ji Zebei actually spends it with Lu Ran?

She had invited him to be with him every Christmas before, but he always refused, saying that such a foreign festival is not easy to enjoy.
