Chapter 259: Tang Yanqi, Let’s Have a Child (Part 9)
Tang Yanqi hadn’t taken two steps when her wrist was grabbed: "Why are you running? Didn’t you hear the old man’s words just now? He wants us to go home."
"Oh."
She followed Sheng Jianan into the car, but after driving a short distance, Sheng Jianan pulled over again.
"What’s wrong?"
The man looked ahead, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel: "Tang Yanqi, don’t you still owe me a meal?"
"Hmm?"
"I remember you promised Young Master Sheng you’d have a meal with him that day, didn’t you?"
Tang Yanqi felt embarrassed. How many days ago was that? How could he still remember? Besides, hadn’t she already had a meal with him?
Tang Yanqi muttered softly. It would’ve been better if she hadn’t spoken. As soon as she did, Young Master Sheng’s face turned dark, and he looked at her with a sinister gaze, gritting his teeth: "How dare you mention it?"
Thinking of his own miserable appearance that night, running to the bathroom five times and feeling exhausted, he hadn’t settled the score with her yet, and this woman actually had the audacity to bring it up!
With Sheng Jianan’s aura flaring up, Tang Yanqi instinctively shrank her neck and spoke sulkily: "Let’s eat, let’s eat."
It was already noon, time for a meal. She followed Sheng Jianan out of the car, the two walking one after the other into the restaurant.
The restaurant was chosen by Sheng Jianan, and of course, it was extremely upscale. Tang Yanqi didn’t think too much about it, just here for a meal, but unexpectedly saw someone at the table by the window.
The woman she didn’t recognize, but she was very fashionably dressed, with a Dior bag beside her. Tang Yanqi wasn’t sure how much it cost, but it was definitely expensive.
And sitting opposite her was Lu Qilin. In truth, Tang Yanqi hadn’t seen him for a long time. Lu Qilin also saw her, and unexpectedly, this always-elegant Lu Qilin had a flash of nervousness on his face and deliberately avoided her gaze as if he hadn’t seen her at all.
This wasn’t like Lu Qilin’s usual style, but Tang Yanqi didn’t have time to think too much as her hand was taken, and she was led to a table by the window, just a small distance from Lu Qilin’s table, where Sheng Jianan casually began to order.
His gaze occasionally glanced at the woman sitting across from him, his thin lips pressed into a line. Damn it, even with him around, this woman could still stare at another man for ten seconds, ten seconds!!!
Used to always sitting in private rooms, Sheng Jianan almost immediately decided to drag Tang Yanqi over to sit. Tang Yanqi didn’t know what those people were doing there, but Sheng Jianan only needed a glance to know. That setup, what else could it be but a date?
Even though he knew Tang Yanqi didn’t have feelings for Lu Qilin, the fact that Lu Qilin liked Tang Yanqi was unavoidable. More importantly, Sheng Jianan realized that this man understood the woman in front of him better than he did, which really annoyed Young Master Sheng.
Tang Yanqi had no idea that within just a few minutes, someone had spun such a tale in their head. She just felt it was a little awkward sitting here, though luckily she was facing away from Lu Qilin so she didn’t have to directly confront his gaze from behind.
Soon, the food arrived. Tang Yanqi picked up a piece of honey-glazed pork ribs, ready to put it in her mouth, when suddenly everything went dark, and the piece of ribs on her chopsticks vanished. Sheng Jianan looked at her with a strangely gentle smile: "Delicious."
Tang Yanqi: "..."
What’s going on?
"Here, try this."
Before she could react, another piece of honey-glazed ribs appeared in front of her. Sheng Jianan still had that strangely gentle smile, lifting his hand to bring the ribs to her mouth: "Good girl, open up."
