Chapter 444: Twins, The Truth of That Year! (30)
Qin Nanyu: "???"
He hadn’t even had a bite of food, how could he possibly be full?!
But faced with Leng Jian’s gaze, he couldn’t admit that he was just seeking attention. He had no choice but to force a smile and pick up a napkin to wipe his mouth.
"I had too much for lunch, not very hungry for dinner, you guys eat slowly."
Qin Nanyu placed the napkin on the table and slowly stood up from his chair, trying to use slow motion to make Ji Weitian notice that he hadn’t eaten anything at all.
Or perhaps she would notice that he might be feeling unwell and come over to show concern.
But nothing happened.
Even as he walked out of the dining room, Ji Weitian’s attention was fixed on Leng Jian.
The two of them, for some reason, had suddenly started talking about their first meeting, the old saying ’no discord, no concord’...
Qin Nanyu wanted to keep listening, but as someone who had "eaten his fill," he had no reason to stay in the dining room.
He had to leave, stifling his frustration.
As soon as he stepped outside the restaurant, the butler quickly followed him out.
Seeing Qin Nanyu standing in the living room, he started with surprise.
"Young Master Yu, why have you come out so soon at this time? Mr. Leng seems to be very nice to Miss Ji, and Yaoyao is also very clingy to him. It seems like her fondness for Mr. Leng has already surpassed yours..."
The butler’s words were cut short by a stern glare, silencing him before he could continue.
Telling the truth these days could cost you your life.
But even if the butler didn’t say it, Qin Nanyu, who felt as if he had been repeatedly stabbed in the chest, had his face darkening to the color of a pot bottom.
He told the butler to go back and keep watch in the dining room and then turned to call his assistant.
"Help me look up someone named Leng Jian, who had been living abroad until recently just returned to the country... Yes, the quicker and more detailed, the better!"
Know thine enemy and know thyself, and thou shalt not be imperiled in a hundred battles.
He had overlooked this man before, but now that he has appeared, running away wasn’t his style. Once he had figured out the exact relationship between Leng Jian and Ji Weitian, he would, of course, have countermeasures.
"Gurgle—"
No sooner had he hung up the phone than Qin Nanyu’s stomach growled.
Qin Technology Group had just launched a new product in collaboration with Jiangcheng University Laboratory, and he had been busy all day. He hadn’t had lunch, and after work, he hurried to the kindergarten to pick up the two little ones, rushing back to see Ji Weitian without even having time to drink a sip of water.
Now here he was. Ji Weitian, right in front of him, was eating and drinking merrily with Leng Jian in the dining room, and without having had a bite to eat himself, she had driven him out.
At last, it was the butler who took pity on him, secretly bringing out a plate of pastries from the kitchen to tide him over.
"What are they talking about?" Qin Nanyu ignored the pastries in the butler’s hands, pulled him over, and asked anxiously.
"I didn’t feel right standing next to the dining table the whole time, I listened in bits and pieces, it sounded like Miss Ji was talking about her foster parents, then Mr. Leng suggested visiting them, and the two were discussing when..."
Qin Nanyu let go of the butler and turned to head into the dining room.
He was the one who knew best how much Ji Weitian cared for her foster parents.
Ordinary people she would never bring near her foster parents, but Leng Jian had only just returned, and they were already discussing visiting home!
What was to come next?
Were they going to use the excuse that Yaoyao was still young and needed a father to hurry and set a wedding date?!
Leng Jian was wishful thinking!
Just as Qin Nanyu took a step forward, his phone screen lit up with an incoming call.
It was his assistant.
Qin Nanyu’s gaze sharpened as he took his phone to a quiet spot and answered—
