Chapter 217. 215. Called Uncle Chen
Chongwenmen is very lively at night, and summer is the most restless season for young people. No one will watch TV at home with an electric fan on.

Keeping up with fashion and trends is what young people are most passionate about nowadays. Whether it is a disco or a bar, there will always be a large circle of people gathered.

Sitting in the car, Chen Li'an looked at the young people singing and shouting for youth on the side of the road and always felt that he was old, even sitting in the back seat of the car.

If the white shirt is stuffed into the trousers, a pair of blue nylon socks are worn in the black leather shoes, and a crocodile belt is tied around the waist, Chen Li'an is no different from the veteran cadres.

"Dabai, do you think I'm old?" Chen Li'an asked suddenly, looking away from the car.

Li Dabai was stunned for a moment and said, "You're not old, if you're considered old, you won't be allowed to live."

Chen Li'an asked again explaining: "I mean mentality, do you think my mentality is old?"

Li Dabai glanced at Chen Li'an through the rearview mirror, and didn't know how to answer for a while. If you don't honestly find someone to date and marry, you will just play around all day long!
Either doing art or filming, and then picking up girls!Pick up girls!Pick up girls!
I have never seen a young man as young as you!
Seeing that Li Dabai didn't answer, Chen Li'an shook his head and said in a moody way: "I feel like I'm getting old, and I won't play wild on the street anymore."

Li Dabai glanced at the young people outside the car window who had nowhere to release their energy to sing and drink on the street, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen, if they have as many girlfriends and good friends as you do, they won't have the energy Time runs wild in the streets."

Chen Li'an coughed in embarrassment, what he said made sense and he couldn't refute it at all.

The car fell into an embarrassing silence, Li Dabai stuck out his tongue quietly, speeded up the car and soon arrived at Maxim's gate.

After Li Dabai parked the car, he turned his head and said to Chen Li'an: "Mr. Chen, there seems to be a band performance at Maxim tonight, do you want to go to Xinqiao across the street?"

Chen Li'an turned his head to take a look, rolled down the car window and listened to the music coming from inside, feeling that Maxim tonight was really not suitable.

"Let's talk about it when she comes over. You can order a table by yourself later, but don't drink."

Li Dabai let out a muffled sigh, and suddenly realized that one of the disadvantages of being Chen Li'an's assistant is that he often has to watch him dating other women!
After a moment of silence in the car, Li Dabai suddenly said, "Mr. Chen, you promised Sister Bai Qing to go back at night, don't forget."

"understood."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car. He had already seen Liu Xiaoli getting off with a little girl in a taxi ahead.

Taking her daughter out for a date, Chen Li'an didn't understand what Liu Xiaoli was thinking, but Liu Xiaoli's dress today was exquisite, and she seemed to have put her thought into it.

When Liu Xiaoli walked over with her daughter, she felt like she was on a blind date with a baby.

"Long time no see." Liu Xiaoli came over and said with a smile, then bowed her head and said to her daughter, "Qiqian, my name is uncle."

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Chen Li'an's eyes. Looking at the seven or eight-year-old girl, he showed a kind smile and said, "Your daughter is very cute."

Qianqian raised her head to look at Chen Li'an, blinking her big watery eyes, and shouted timidly, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello." Chen Li'an bowed to greet Sissy.

Li Dabai, who was sitting in the car behind, covered his mouth and snickered when he saw this scene, and couldn't help muttering: "Haha, Teacher Chen must be stupid."

Chen Li'an was indeed a little confused, he stood up straight and looked at Liu Xiaoli, wondering what she meant by bringing her daughter out together.

Seeing the doubt in Chen Li'an's eyes, Liu Xiaoli said, "I'm divorced, and my daughter is with me. I can't leave her alone in the hotel, so I brought her with me. You don't mind, do you?"

Hearing the last pause in Liu Xiaoli's words, Chen Li'an almost understood, so he said with a smile: "I don't mind, Qianqian is so cute and very likable."

"Thank you for understanding." Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an with surprise in her eyes and said, "Do you like children?"

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Sissi is so cute, no one will not like it."

Sitting in the car, Li Dabai couldn't see Chen Li'an's expression, and immediately unbuckled the seat belt, pulled out the key and got out of the car. She was really curious about Chen Li'an's reaction now, and admired Liu Xiaoli's operation.

How can you bring your child out on the first date, is this scaring off Teacher Chen?Or deliberately test Teacher Chen?

Li Dabai closed the car door and ran up to Chen Li'an, looked at Chen Li'an's expression curiously, and found that his expression was very calm, and felt a little disappointed in his heart for no reason.

I really want to see Teacher Chen's deflated look.
However, Li Dabai has not forgotten his identity, so he immediately said to Teacher Chen: "Mr. Chen, I will go to Xinqiao to book a seat first. Is the private room still in the lobby?"

Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai, and then said to Liu Xiaoli: "I wanted to go to Maxim, but there is a band performing there tonight, so it's quite noisy, so can I change to Xinqiao?"

Liu Xiaoli also heard the explosive music coming from Maxim, so she said with a smile, "Okay, it happens that Sissy doesn't like too much noise."

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Chen Li'an turned to look at Li Dabai and said, "Go book a private room. If there is no room, ask their manager to transfer one."

Li Dabai nodded immediately, and before leaving, he took a look at the little girl in the princess dress, she wasn't as good-looking as her mother, and her father probably didn't look very good.

"We'll go there after Dabai has booked a seat. If there's no seat, we'll go to Jianguo Hotel."

Liu Xiaoli took her daughter's hand and nodded lightly, "Well, you decide, we can both."

Chen Li'an smiled, bent down to look at Cici and asked, "Does Cici like Western food? What would you like to eat?"

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Qianqian looked up at Liu Xiaoli, looked at her mother's encouraging eyes, and then whispered to Chen Li'an: "I like it."

Chen Li'an smiled, couldn't help rubbing her little head, stood up and said to Liu Xiaoli, "Qi Qian is a little shy."

"It will be fine when you get familiar with it in the future." Liu Xiaoli said pointedly.

Chen Li'an nodded and smiled without saying a word, feeling that Liu Xiaoli really brought her baby on a blind date, as if she was going to formally establish a relationship.

Two minutes later, after Li Dabai booked a seat and came to notify Chen Li'an, he happily ran to Maxim on the opposite side.

Chen Li'an warned with some concern: "Don't drink! You still need to drive at night!"

"Got it, Teacher Chen!" Li Dabai waved his hands and ran in.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but shook his head, looked at the thoughtful Liu Xiaoli and said, "Let's go."

"Hmm." Liu Xiaoli took her daughter's hand and followed Chen Li'an, pretending to be curious and asked, "You and Dabai are more like friends than superiors."

Chen Li'an glanced at Liu Xiaoli and said, "We're friends, and I'm not a big shot, so there's no need to be serious."

Liu Xiaoli: "Artists are more casual and understanding."

Soon the two arrived in the private room. After ordering, Chen Li'an asked, "What are your plans for coming to the capital this time? Do you still want to dance? Or do you have any other plans?"

Liu Xiaoli looked up and saw that Chen Li'an did not answer his question, but asked seriously: "Do you have any suggestions?"

This question stumped Chen Li'an, he didn't know what Liu Xiaoli was thinking, whether she wanted to dance or go abroad, or whether she wanted to raise her daughter properly.

The private room suddenly fell into silence, only Sissy sat on the chair and turned the cup in her hand curiously, making crisp jingling sounds.

After a pause, Chen Li'an took a sip of the pre-dinner wine and said, "I don't have any special suggestions, it mainly depends on what you think, if you need me to do something, just ask, you are all friends, you are welcome."

"Friend." Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an and muttered something, feeling disappointed in her heart, then sat up slightly, and said to Chen Li'an: "Thank you, but there should be nothing that needs help."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiaoli regretted a little, and she seemed a little anxious, what else could she and Chen Li'an be friends if they weren't friends now?I was a little anxious to force others to express their views.

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Qianqian who was spinning the cup and said to Liu Xiaoli: "It's okay, but it's not easy for you to take care of the child alone. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Hearing that Chen Li'an retracted the topic again, Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Chen Li'an would be too young and angry to ignore her.

But she just said that she didn't need help, and now she changed her words and felt a bit on the pole, so she glanced at her daughter and said to her tenderly: "Sissy, thank uncle on behalf of mother."

Qianqian looked at Liu Xiaoli, not knowing what she wanted to thank, but she obediently smiled sweetly at Chen Li'an and said, "Thank you uncle."

After the atmosphere eased, Liu Xiaoli didn't feel anxious to test it anymore, she was indeed a little too anxious, but tonight was not without gains, at least it could be seen that Chen Li'an had no resistance to her bringing a child.

During the meal, he made several jokes with Sissy, which made Sissy giggle non-stop.

Even when Sissi wanted to eat ice cream after dinner, Chen Li'an took her to pick out various flavors of ice cream, just like bringing her own children.

After a meal, Sissy also fell in love with this handsome uncle, and kept clinging to Chen Li'an and wanting to hug him.

Liu Xiaoli looked at this scene, just like looking at the father and daughter, and a strange happiness rose in her heart.

When they came out from Xinqiao, the two of them didn't go back to their respective homes immediately, but took a walk near Chongwenmen together, and the unlucky Li Dabai drove a car and followed far behind.

Sissy took Chen Li'an's hand and followed him obediently, but she felt a little sleepy after walking a few steps, and she grabbed Chen Li'an's hand to hug him.

Chen Li'an looked at the dazed Sissi, bent down and hugged her, let her head rest on his shoulder, patted her on the back lightly and said, "Sleep, you will be home when you wake up." gone."

Chen Li'an is also a theoretical expert who has read the parenting manual, and he still knows how to put children to sleep.

Sissy half-closed her eyes and muttered in Chen Li'an's ear, "Thank you uncle."

Liu Xiaoli watched from the side, her smiling eyes turned into crescent moons, she looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Aren't you tired, why don't you go back now."

"It's okay, Qianqian is not heavy." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Li'an seemed to like children very much, Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect you to like children so much. Have you ever thought about what your children will be like?"

Thinking of his unborn daughter, Chen Li'an smiled and said, "I thought about it, but I'm not sure if I can be a good father."

Liu Xiaoli saw Chen Li'an hugging Sissi, patting her on the back to lull her to sleep, and said with certainty: "You will be a good father."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "I hope."

Li Dabai who was following behind saw Chen Li'an holding the child and walking side by side with Liu Xiaoli, feeling a little angry for no reason, not jealousy.

How come it looks like a family of three, it's really pissing off!Is divorce with a baby so attractive to Mr. Chen? !
"Teacher Chen is really a pervert." Li Dabai couldn't help but murmur, really wanting to press the horn hard to scare him.

After Chen Li'an and Liu Xiaoli walked for a while, at the entrance of an alley, Liu Xiaoli deliberately stopped and took out her handkerchief and said to Chen Li'an: "You are tired from walking, you are sweating, don't move, I will wipe it for you. "

sweating?Chen Li'an didn't feel anything at all, but seeing Liu Xiaoli who took the initiative to come over, he didn't say anything but hummed, and let her wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

"This family of three is really happy." The elders and aunts chatting under the locust tree at the entrance of the alley couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Liu Xiaoli smiled when she heard it, and wiped Chen Li'an's sweat more slowly and gently.

Looking at the smile on Liu Xiaoli's face, Chen Li'an knew very well that this was the warm atmosphere she intentionally created. Coupled with the praise and envy of passers-by, he would subtly accept the setting of a family of three.

It's just that Liu Xiaoli's little tricks are seen through by Chen Li'an, the king of the sea, but sometimes this kind of trick is like a conspiracy. You know it's a trap, but you will still be immersed in this happy atmosphere.

After all, reason and emotion are not one-way lines, but two-way parallel.

After wiping off Chen Li'an's sweat, Liu Xiaoli looked at him and said with a smile, "If you want to hold two children in the future, you probably won't be able to carry them."

Under the warm yellow light, a blush floated on Liu Xiaoli's pretty face, and the fragrance of locust trees was gentle like a cool summer evening breeze.

Chen Li'an didn't know what Liu Xiaoli meant by the two children, whether it was a temptation or a promise and hint.

But at this time, he didn't want to think too much, he hugged Qianqian with one hand and put his arm around Liu Xiaoli's waist, jokingly said: "Even if there is another you, I can hug her."

Chen Li'an's sudden initiative and jokes made Liu Xiaoli flustered a bit, and she forgot to observe Chen Li'an's expression, but she quickly realized that she slapped Chen Li'an's hand lightly and said, "You guys just speak nicely, I'm afraid that you won't want to hug anyone when the time comes."

Chen Li'an let go of Liu Xiaoli and said, "I'm not someone who only knows how to talk."

The two looked at each other and smiled, walked along the road for a while, and then prepared to go back.

After getting in the car, Liu Xiaoli wanted to hug Sissi, but she hugged Chen Li'an's neck tightly, her small face rubbed against his shoulder several times, and said in a daze, "I want Daddy to hug me."

Sissy's words immediately stopped the three adults in the car, and it was Liu Xiaoli who was the first to react and said embarrassedly: "Cissy hasn't seen her father for a long time."

Chen Li'an hugged Qianqian and said, "It's okay, the child is sleepy and sleepy, and it's not tiring to hold her."

Li Dabai in the driver's seat looked at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror, and groaned in his heart, wondering if Liu Xiaoli taught the children to say that on purpose.

After the car started, Chen Li'an hugged Qianqian and turned to look at Liu Xiaoli and asked, "How long are you going to stay in the capital this time? Qianqian hasn't had summer vacation yet."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said, "It's not summer vacation yet, but I don't want to stay in Wuhan any longer, so I asked Qianqian for leave in advance, and I plan to take her out to play and relax. Let's talk about the future."

The reason why Liu Xiaoli took her child out of Wuhan in such a hurry was because she couldn't stand her ex-mother-in-law, otherwise she would definitely not leave until after the summer vacation.

After saying this, Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an hesitantly and asked, "Are you busy recently? Have you ever thought about going out to relax?"

"Mr. Chen is very busy, and the rest of the schedule is full."

Before Chen Li'an could reply, Li Dabai spoke up first. She was worried that Chen Li'an would be tricked and put his business aside and went out to play with them.

Naturally, Chen Li'an was not so confused. He looked at Liu Xiaoli and said, "I'm really busy in the future. I have to go to Yangcheng to discuss a business, I have to go to Xiangjiang to run a film promotion, and I have to go to the United States for an exhibition next month. It's a mess. There are many things."

Hearing that Chen Li'an was so busy, Liu Xiaoli felt disappointed. She still thought that she could take Chen Li'an down completely by taking this opportunity.

Chen Li'an looked at Liu Xiaoli and said, "However, I suggest that before you go out to play, you should stabilize your life first. Where are you going to live and what are you going to do? Sissy will have to go to school in the future, so what should I do? There are a lot of troublesome things."

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an's serious look, and still threw the previous question to him.

"What advice do you have? I'm a little lost right now."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't think about it, you can settle down in the capital first, and I'll help you arrange it."

Hearing Chen Li'an's all-encompassing words, Li Dabai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is really moving his mind, is he going to raise it?Or just play around?
Li Dabai always feels that Liu Xiaoli, who is divorced and has a baby, is not good enough for Chen Li'an, and has no advantages other than good looks.

The street lamp quickly pushed back on the side of the road and flashed quickly on Chen Li'an's face, flickering on and off, making Liu Xiaoli unable to see through his real thoughts.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"No trouble, I'm happy to help."
