Lin Yan's expression froze, and she quickly interrupted Lu Yingqian outside: "Qianqian, I'm fine. I'll wash up and be out soon."
Lin Yan's hoarse voice made Lu Yingqian unconvinced. She was about to say something when she heard Lin Yan continue to speak.
"Qianqian, go ask Auntie to prepare something for me to eat. I'm a little hungry."
Lu Yingqian hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Lin Yan hadn't eaten for a long time, she could only listen to Lin Yan's words: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll ask Auntie to prepare food first, and come to see you later."
When Lu Yingqian's footsteps left, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of lying on the bed, she got up and went into the bathroom.
Standing in front of the large mirror in the bathroom, Lin Yan could clearly see how much of a beast Lu Jinghuai was.
The kiss mark on the collarbone extended to the neck, purple-red and particularly conspicuous.
Lin Yan couldn't help but curse Lu Jinghuai again. She was also worried that if she dawdled too long, Lu Yingqian would come to find her. She quickly washed up and chose a set of clothes with a collar.
Wearing clothes with collars in the middle of summer, Lin Yan even suspected that there was something wrong with her.
After a simple tidying up, Lin Yan carefully looked in front of the mirror to make sure there were no kiss marks. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and went downstairs.
When she reached the stairs, she bumped into Lu Yingqian who was about to go upstairs. When Lu Yingqian saw Lin Yan, her eyes lit up.
"Sister-in-law, I was just about to go up and check on you. Are you feeling better?"
Lin Yan probably guessed that this was probably Lu Jinghuai's excuse for her today. She hummed twice and said, "Much better."
Lu Yingqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, then complained dissatisfiedly: "Brother is the same. He knew you were not feeling well, but he still locked the door of the room, so I couldn't go in to take care of you."
Lin Yan choked for a few seconds. Fortunately, Lu Jinghuai still had some shame and knew to lock the door. Otherwise, if Lu Yingqian went in and saw the situation in the room, she would have killed Lu Jinghuai directly.
However, facing Lu Yingqian's clear gaze, Lin Yan could only nod in agreement.
As they were talking, they walked to the restaurant. After hearing Lu Yingqian's instructions, the aunt had already prepared the meal.
After brunch, Lin Jiao was full. She was still a little overwhelmed by the stress of yesterday's struggle, so she just lazily lay on the recliner at the door to enjoy the breeze.
After making sure that Lin Yan was not feeling "uncomfortable", Lu Yingqian returned to her room to rest.
It was not until the sun was about to set in the afternoon that Lin Yan took another nap on the recliner and felt that her body had completely recovered.
She had originally planned to go see Xu Manyu after get off work today, but Lu Jinghuai had asked for leave for her, and she didn't plan to change her schedule.
But the message I sent to Xu Manyu during lunch just now also received a reply.
Xu Manyu, Xu Manyu was obviously very happy when she learned that Lin Yan was going to see her. She said that she was busy this afternoon and had just received her salary recently, so she wanted to treat Lin Yan to dinner.
Lin Yan looked at the time thoughtfully. It was time to leave. It was 4:30 and Xu Manyu got off work at 5:00.
It just so happened that Lu Yingqian was a little worried about Lin Yan today, so she let the tutor go first since she had almost finished her studies and would continue tomorrow.
I heard it when I went downstairs after sending the tutor away.
When Lin Yan asked her aunt to arrange a car, the little girl frowned.
"Sister-in-law, are you going out?"
Lin Yan had nothing to hide and nodded directly: "Well, your sister Manyu and I have an appointment to have dinner together this afternoon."
Lu Yingqian and Xu Manyu did not have much contact, but they were both abducted to Xiaoliang Village, rescued by their brother and sister-in-law, and came to H City. Lu Yingqian still had some good feelings for Xu Manyu.
But…
"Sister-in-law, can't we change the time? You were still sick this morning. Can't you rest a little longer?"
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, and suddenly didn't know how to explain the "illness" she had in the morning.
However, meeting the little girl's worried eyes, her heart softened and she pretended to be embarrassed to explain: "I just had a slight cold this morning, and I felt a little tired, so I didn't get up and asked your brother to ask for leave for me. I'm fine now."
"Is that so?" Lu Yingqian was a little hesitant, but still very worried.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something and spoke.
"Sister-in-law, how about I go with you? I've finished studying today."
Lin Yan paused. Lu Yingqian and Xu Manyu also knew each other, and they were both women, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
Lin Yan nodded.
The family driver also arranged a car, and before leaving, Lin Yan said hello to Uncle Chen at home.
"Uncle Chen, when Lu Jinghuai comes back later, tell him that I'm taking Qianqian to dinner with friends. You don't have to wait for us tonight."
Uncle Chen paused and nodded: "Okay, young lady, have a good night."
After Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian got into the car arm in arm, Uncle Chen stopped the driver who was about to get in and whispered a reminder.
"Where will the young lady be having dinner later tonight? Send a text message to the young master and ask him to pick her up and take her home."
The driver paused for a moment, but nodded when he thought that Uncle Chen was the person Lu Jinghuai trusted the most.
Lin Yan gave the driver the address of the factory where Xu Manyu worked. The factory was a bit far from the city, about half an hour's drive away.
When we arrived at the factory gate, it was just closing time and workers in uniform were coming out of the factory.
Lin Yan, Lu Yingqian and the luxury car behind them still attracted a lot of people's attention.
Lin Yan looked calm and stood on tiptoe trying to find Xu Manyu in the crowd. In the end, it was Lu Yingqian beside her who saw Xu Manyu.
Lu Yingqian waved her hand quickly. Because of Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian, Xu Manyu on the side saw them at first sight. She was stunned and quickly ran over.
Xu Manyu's condition is much better than when she was in Xiaoliang Village. Her complexion is also much better. There is no more numbness in her eyes, but a hint of smile instead?
She stopped in front of Lin Yan, breathing slightly, and subconsciously used sign language, but then she realized that the two people in front of her probably couldn't understand sign language.
Xu Manyu smiled shyly, quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket and typed something for the two of them to see.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lin Yan shook her head: "No, we just arrived too."
Lin Yan paused and asked, "Is there a place to eat nearby? We can eat and talk at the same time."
The main reason was that she and Lu Yingqian were not wearing factory uniforms and there was a driver's car behind them, so many people kept looking at them, which was quite awkward.
Xu Manyu also reacted and nodded, switching her phone to the map and searching for an address. It was a small stir-fry restaurant nearby, the address she had specifically asked her colleague for yesterday.
Lin Yan read it and nodded: "Then let's go now."
Xu Manyu looked at the driver behind Lin Yan and seemed to be hesitating, and Lin Yan also reacted.
He turned around and discussed with the driver: "Brother Zhang, the place where we are having dinner is not far from here, we can go there by ourselves. I will call you later when I need to go back."
