Chapter 1022 - 931: Turning the Tables
Qin Miaomiao chuckled and teased him on purpose, "A man."On the radio, Lu Qing’s breath darkened slightly.
Most people wouldn’t notice, but Qin Miaomiao sensed it immediately.
Ou Beichen saw Qin Miaomiao talking on the phone, her face glowing like a peach blossom, just like those girl classmates who were infatuated with him, and he found it quite off-putting.
He waved at the waiter, said "Check, please," and got up to leave without looking back. He wasn’t worried about offending anyone.
Lu Qing heard Ou Beichen’s voice and snickered, "So it’s this little brat."
Although he disliked all men around Qin Miaomiao, he wasn’t bothered by a young boy. Firstly, he thought a boy posed no threat, and he didn’t believe Qin Miaomiao would take a fancy to a kid.
On the phone, Lu Qing’s tone softened, "Come home early."
Qin Miaomiao’s eyes sparkled with laughter, "Okay."
Hua Tiantian knew Xu Jiaojiao and Jin Jing made up, which made her very happy. A few days ago, she had complained to Meng Yan, surprised that someone as naive as Jin Jing could encounter problems, leaving her unsure if she could ever trust men again. Her words were filled with distrust towards men, which made Meng Yan quite irritable.
So, the news of Xu Jiaojiao and Jin Jing reconciling also gave Meng Yan a sense of relief. Considering that Lu Qing and his wife had invited them to dinner last time, Meng Yan decided to host a dinner party to celebrate Xu Jiaojiao and Jin Jing’s reconciliation, naturally inviting Lu Qing and his wife.
Hua Tiantian didn’t forget Su Lan and suggested inviting her as well. However, Su Lan was engaged in shooting a new film in a secluded location and couldn’t make it.
Meng Yan had always thought well of Su Lan, and while Hua Tiantian couldn’t successfully invite Su Lan, Meng Yan consoled her, saying there would be a next time.
Hua Tiantian patted her face, "It’s okay, just a pity. We haven’t met for a long time."
The dinner was set at the private restaurant where Lu Qing had hosted last time.
Lu Qing and Qin Miaomiao were the first to arrive at the restaurant.
"See that? That’s a man’s little intrigue."
Qin Miaomiao didn’t understand.
"Last time, he lost here, and now he wants to turn the tables."
Qin Miaomiao thought carefully, and what Lu Qing said was indeed the case. She couldn’t help but chuckle. Sometimes men are like children, so childish that one is left speechless.
Ten minutes after Lu Qing and Qin Miaomiao arrived at the restaurant, Hua Tiantian and Meng Yan showed up.
Hua Tiantian’s eyes widened, "How did you two get here before us?" She nudged Meng Yan, "It’s all your fault!"
Meng Yan curled his lips, looking satisfied.
As experienced individuals, Lu Qing and Qin Miaomiao awkwardly looked away.
Only Hua Tiantian was still complaining, "He insisted we had enough time, kept making me play and play. My hands are stiff, and my throat is sore from yelling..."
Qin Miaomiao coughed, "Can you discuss this later in private?"
Meng Yan snorted with laughter.
Hua Tiantian looked at the three people present, confused, "It’s just a game, why can’t we discuss it?"
Meng Yan chuckled continuously, his shoulders shook uncontrollably.
Lu Qing’s eyes also held laughter, but he wasn’t someone who opened up easily. His gaze drifted aside, though the curve of his lips betrayed his mood.
Questioned by Hua Tiantian, Qin Miaomiao could only shift her gaze randomly, trying to change the subject, "Where are Jiaojiao and Jin Jing?"
The other three fell silent for a moment.
Ten minutes had passed since the agreed time.
Xu Jiaojiao was meticulous, never late, especially for a dinner party held in her honor.
Everyone’s mind involuntarily wondered: Has something happened?
Qin Miaomiao called Xu Jiaojiao. The phone showed a busy line. Two minutes later, she called again, and it still showed busy.
No one could sit still.
Hua Tiantian’s thoughts wandered, "Could they have been in a car accident?"
Meng Yan coughed lightly, "Don’t say such things."
