Li Qingfeng looked at the mayor Duanmu Yulei in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he spoke directly, "If the mayor has nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"
Upon hearing his words, Duanmu Yulei nodded. This was not the time for reminiscing.
"Alright, you go ahead. Are you leaving with us?"
Duanmu Yulei thought for a moment before extending an invitation.
"No, no, Mayor. I still have things to do. I'll go on my own!"
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng refused without a second thought.
After all, given his current situation, it would be quite dangerous to leave with them.
If something were to happen, it might not be targeting him, but rather the mayor. He likely had offended someone, especially Mayor Duanmu Yulei.
Since it was targeting him, Li Qingfeng wouldn't jump into the fray. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Li Qingfeng, are you leaving?"
However, to his surprise, Duanmu Yulan beside him spoke up, directly asking Li Qingfeng.
Hearing this, he replied, "Yes, Mayor. I don't want to leave either, but the current situation makes it unsuitable for me to stay here!"
"Besides, when I came, I promised my sister-in-law that I would look after her daughter, my little sister!"
"Then... then that's fine!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Yulan thought for a moment and did not make things difficult for him, nodding in agreement.
Seeing that Li Qingfeng was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and called out,
"Oh, wait a minute, I forgot something!"
"What did you forget?"
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng asked with a face full of confusion.
"Well, I forgot something very important. I don't think we're friends yet. Let's add each other!" Duanmu Yulan said, her face flushed with shyness.
"Ah, I thought you were talking about something serious. It's just adding a friend? Hurry up then!" Li Qingfeng was relieved upon hearing this, thinking she had something else in mind.
The two quickly added each other as friends, and Li Qingfeng then left directly.
Similarly, the mayor and his entourage got into their car and left.
In the car, Mayor Duanmu Yulei looked at his daughter, Duanmu Yulan, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"My dear girl! How long have you known this young man?"
Duanmu Yulei thought for a moment and then asked, observing the situation, it seemed his daughter truly had taken a liking to this young man, Li Qingfeng.
Duanmu Yulan's eyes were still unfocused, as if her thoughts were elsewhere. Hearing her father's question, she was startled.
"Ah?"
She was completely dazed and sat up abruptly, hitting her head on the car roof.
"Bang!"
With a bang, she clutched her head in pain.
"Ow, that hurts! Why is this car roof so low?" Duanmu Yulan exclaimed.
Hearing her words, Secretary Fang Cheng thought for a moment and gave her an answer.
He couldn't help it; she was his young lady, after all. She deserved a perfect response.
"It's like this, Young Lady. The reason the roof of this car cannot be made too high is that the mayor's safety must be ensured when he travels, isn't it?"
Hearing Secretary Fang Cheng's explanation, Duanmu Yulan understood their intentions and nodded earnestly.
"Alright, alright, I understand. I'm sorry, I blamed you."
She was quite reasonable and nodded after hearing his words.
"It's nothing, Young Lady. Please don't mention it. As long as you're alright."
In fact, for secretaries like him, as long as their employer was unharmed, he had no other concerns.
"Uh, Father, what were you saying to me just now?"
Duanmu Yulan just then remembered that her father had asked her something and inquired.
Duanmu Yulei let out a wry smile. From his experience as a father, he understood the situation.
However, after thinking about it, Mayor Duanmu Yulei spoke again.
"My daughter! Have you known this fellow for a long time?"
"Yes, Father. I've known him for a little over a week?"
She thought about it and told the truth, as they had only known each other for slightly more than a week, perhaps even less.
"So that's how it is. I thought so."
Hearing this, Duanmu Yulei did not show any surprise, as he had already guessed.
From her demeanor just now, it seemed his daughter had taken the initiative.
"Do you like Li Qingfeng?"
After all, he was her father. After some thought, he decided to ask directly. It was better to be upfront.
"Ah..."
As expected, his daughter was shy. Hearing the question, she froze, not knowing what to say. Her face turned completely red, and she became flustered.
"It's alright, don't rush. Think carefully, and tell Father when you're ready."
Seeing her like this, Duanmu Yulei was not impatient and spoke calmly.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Duanmu Yulan froze for a moment and nodded uncontrollably.
What should we do next?
They were all at a loss for words, especially Secretary Fang Cheng. He felt it was best not to speak and interrupt the mayor's train of thought.
Looking at his daughter, Duanmu Yulei thought for a moment and then spoke, "Daughter, if you truly like him, then go and pursue him. If you don't, then I advise you to give up early!"
"Why?"
Duanmu Yulan asked with a look of confusion.
"It's simple. Didn't you hear him mention that little sister? Normally, that would be his niece, wouldn't it? Why did he call her sister? Don't you understand now?"
Although it was somewhat cruel to say it directly, after considering it, Duanmu Yulei decided to speak.
It was better to tell her sooner rather than later.
Knowing this in advance would prepare her, especially since that young man had said it deliberately.
Normally, they wouldn't have needed to say anything about what they were going to do next if they had left together.
In fact, Mayor Duanmu Yulei was overthinking things. If Li Qingfeng knew his thoughts, he would probably bury his head in his hands.
Because honestly, he hadn't put that much thought into it.
