At the entrance of Huixiangxuan.

Ji Fuling led Ji Tiantian inside, with Ji Zihan and Ji Zimo following beside her.

"Uncle Yiming and Grandma Ding have already ordered their food. You three can start eating now. Mommy needs to go to the restroom."

"Okay, Mommy."

As soon as Ji Fuling finished speaking, the two little cuties responded in unison.

The little girl, as usual, acted cute, saying in her soft, sweet voice, "Mommy, Sweetie will be good and won't run around."

"You're so sweet-talking."

Ji Fuling smiled and led the three children toward the booth where Zuo Yiming and Aunt Ding were.

Seeing this, Ye Nanqing's thin lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Seeing that he kept staring at the triplets, Madam Ye took the opportunity to urge him to get married and have children, "Nan Qing, you also think the children are very cute, right?"

"Mom just hopes you get married soon and give your dad and me a few grandchildren."

As she said this, Old Madam Ye glanced meaningfully between Ye Nanqing and Qiao Yuer.

Qiao Yu'er gazed at Ye Nanqing with a shy expression.

Although they had only met today, she had already imagined marrying this man and having his children.

She even started considering how many children she would have and what to name them.

Ye Nanqing raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mom, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Once he wins over Ji Fuling and they get married, the two old people will have three little grandchildren.

This fulfilled both of the elderly couple's wishes at once.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye assumed that Ye Nanqing was quite satisfied with Qiao Yuer, and immediately smiled broadly, "Good, good, good, then I'll be looking forward to it."

At this moment, Ji Fuling, having settled her three babies, was walking towards the restroom.

As luck would have it, her gaze drifted and inadvertently fell upon Ye Nanqing's table.

The girl in pink next to Ye Nanqing had a shy expression on her face, and her eyes were fixed on him. Her thoughts were so obvious that anyone who wasn't blind could see them.

For some reason, Ji Fuling suddenly felt a little depressed.

She suspected that the restaurant might have poor ventilation.

With a slight frown, Ji Fuling looked away and continued walking towards the restroom.

Ye Nanqing naturally saw Ji Fuling as well, and even noticed her furrowed brows.

In addition, she turned and left, looking somewhat unhappy.

He couldn't help but wonder if this woman had misunderstood that he was dating someone else.

Thinking of this, Ye Nanqing's expression became more serious, and he suddenly stood up. "I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, leaving Qiao Yuer, who was about to say something, behind him.

Inside the restroom.

When Ji Fuling went in, the place was empty.

When she came out of the cubicle and stood in front of the sink, she looked up after washing her hands and was surprised to see a familiar figure walking in in the mirror.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly, "Uncle? Are you crazy?! This is the women's restroom!!"

"I know."

Ye Nanqing remained unfazed, took a long stride, and his tall figure instantly loomed over Ji Fuling.

When he arrived, he happened to see the cleaning staff had put up a sign at the door that said "Cleaning in Progress," indicating that they were preparing to start cleaning.

But the man put the sign down and walked away, as if he had forgotten some tools.

In short, he came in because he was certain that Ji Fuling was the only one inside and that no one else would be coming in for the time being.

"You knew and you still came in? If you ran into other people, they'd probably think you were a pervert!"

Ji Fuling looked at Ye Nanqing speechlessly and sincerely advised, "Uncle, this is not a good habit, you need to change it."

"Let's go quickly, lest someone comes in and see us, that would be troublesome."

With that, Ji Fuling took the lead and walked out.

She had only taken one step when her waist was suddenly encircled by a man's large hand.

Immediately afterwards, she was lifted into the air and placed on the sink behind her.

The illusion that she was about to fall made Ji Fuling instinctively grab the man's broad shoulders with both hands, and she cried out in surprise, "Ye Nanqing! What are you doing?!"

At times like these, she can no longer bring herself to call him "little uncle".

For example, when that little girl Ji Tiantian is being naughty, she will call her by her first name.

Ye Nanqing leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on either side of Ji Fuling, looked down at her, and slowly uttered in a magnetic voice, "I met that person for the first time today. It was a meeting arranged privately by the two elders. I was not aware of it beforehand. It was not a date."

The seemingly random words startled Ji Fuling.

That person?

Are you referring to the girl in pink who was sitting next to him earlier?

Is this man explaining something to her?

Did he specifically go to the women's restroom just to tell her this?

The man's warm breath brushed against her cheek, creating an atmosphere of ambiguity that interrupted Ji Fuling's thoughts.

Her ears felt slightly hot, and she quickly turned her head away, saying, "Why are you telling me this? Someone could come in at any time. Please move aside, I need to go out."

Ji Fuling was afraid that someone would come in and see the scene, and thinking about her previous experiences of being taken advantage of, she felt that the current situation was too dangerous, so she was in a hurry to leave.

Ye Nanqing mistakenly thought she was avoiding the topic because she was jealous.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his voice deepened, "Are you trying to spite me? Don't you believe I have nothing to do with that person?"

Ji Fuling: "..."

Judging from the man's tone, it seemed that he wouldn't let her leave unless she said she believed him.

Ji Fuling pursed her lips, looked up and met Ye Nanqing's gaze, "I believe you, can you let me down now?"

She was wearing a black silk dress with a lace openwork design on the back, and her slender waist was reflected in the mirror behind her.

Ye Nanqing's gaze unconsciously fell on the mirror, and without hearing what she said, he casually hummed in agreement.

Seeing that he agreed, Ji Fuling gripped his shoulder tightly, preparing to push him off the sink.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, Ye Nanqing's hands, which were originally on either side, suddenly wrapped around her waist.

The next second, he leaned in and, without warning, pressed his thin lips against hers.

"Hmm—"

Ji Fuling was shocked to find that he would actually do such a thing in a place like this.

She pressed her palms against his shoulder, trying to create distance, but her heart was pounding. "No... Ye Nanqing, don't do this, someone might come in..."

Ye Nanqing gently kissed the corner of her lips, and was about to say that no one would be there when footsteps sounded at an inopportune moment outside the door.

Ji Fuling was startled and struggled to get up, shouting, "Ye Nanqing, let me go! Someone's coming!"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Ye Nanqing's face as he reluctantly lifted her off the sink, his handsome features suddenly clouded with gloom.

Why is it that someone always seems to step up at these crucial moments?

This feeling of being disturbed is really unpleasant.

As the footsteps grew closer, Ji Fuling, her face flushed, glared at Ye Nanqing, then shoved him away and quickly turned to leave.

Watching her hastily flee, Ye Nanqing's dark eyes narrowed slightly, a subtle emotion flashing across them.

He knew it wasn't appropriate to be in this place, but he just couldn't control himself.

It seems that every time I get close to her, I can't help but want to kiss her.

His self-control, which he had always been proud of, shattered completely when he met her.

Perhaps Heaven saw that his life was too dull and uninteresting, so it sent him such a tempting enchantress...

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? This is the women's restroom! How can a grown man like you come in here?!"

The cleaning lady walked in carrying a mop and a bucket. She paused for a moment when she saw Ye Nanqing, and then gave him a lecture.

"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."

He gave a curt reply and walked out calmly, without a trace of embarrassment on his face.
