Seeing Qin Ange get off the carriage so easily, a thoughtful look flashed in Su Qinghe's eyes.
"Oh dear! Young master, you're about to be exposed!"
Que'er followed her young master off the carriage, glanced at Su Qinghe who was standing next to her with a mocking expression, and whispered anxiously in his ear.
Qin Ange felt a little guilty upon hearing this.
"Does Young Master Qin also wish to eat here?"
Ji Qingyu felt a little nervous. Looking at Su Qinghe, who was still staring at Qin Ange, she secretly didn't want him to go in.
"Yes!...It was Ms. Su who invited me!"
Qin Ange nodded awkwardly with his hands behind his back, and then added a sentence at the end.
"Young Master Qin spent the whole morning showing me the house, and didn't even have lunch."
Su Qinghe turned her head and smiled as she instructed Ji Qingyu.
"Could you please go in first and tell Manager Wang to prepare the hot pot base for the private room on the third floor? We'll be there in a bit."
Looking at houses? Did you spend the whole morning alone with him?
Ji Qingyu instantly grasped the information that was very important to him.
"Yu-ge'er? What are you standing there for?"
Seeing him standing there motionless, Su Qinghe called out again.
"Oh well."
Ji Qingyu snapped out of her daze and quickly responded, her gaze lingering on Qin Ange for a moment before she turned and said lightly:
"Then my lady, come quickly!"
After saying that, he quickened his pace and plunged into the crowd as if fleeing.
He just called her...?
Su Qinghe turned her head and stared in surprise at Ji Qingyu, who was faintly visible in the crowd.
Then, looking thoughtful, she turned around and glanced at Qin Ange, who seemed "very busy".
Is that kid asserting his sovereignty?
That's really rare!
Su Qinghe's face held a half-smile, and her mood instantly improved several times over.
Qin Ange, who was "busy" and seemingly preoccupied with something, hesitated for a few steps forward only after Su Qinghe's husband left.
"Uh... actually, it's because my legs are a little numb from kneeling for so long during class this morning..."
He didn't dare to meet Su Qinghe's gaze, his hands nervously rubbing the fabric at his sides, which was already wrinkled beyond recognition.
Su Qinghe found it amusing and pretended not to understand what he meant.
"What is Young Master Qin referring to?"
Seeing her expression, it seemed she didn't remember jumping off the carriage. Qin Ange was unsure whether to explain or just pretend nothing had happened.
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Su Qinghe teased him and asked again.
"N-nothing, I'm really hungry, Ms. Su, let's go inside!"
Qin Ange blushed, shook her head and stammered a sentence, then quickly pulled Que'er behind her and ran inside.
Seeing him flee in disarray, Su Qinghe temporarily abandoned her teasing intentions, instructed the coachman to park the carriage in a corner, and then strode inside.
After this little incident, by the time she went upstairs to rest, all the dishes had already been served in the private room.
Although Ji Qingyu didn't ask Qin Ange what she wanted to eat beforehand, she conveyed the news that Su Qinghe had brought Qin Ange back with her when she went back to deliver the thread.
Lin Xi, who had hosted Qin Ange before, personally went to the kitchen to give instructions on the dishes.
So what Su Qinghe saw was a table full of meat, with only a few scattered green bits scattered among it.
"My lady, please come and sit down!"
Lin Xi waved to her.
At this moment, not only Qin Ange and her servant were in the room, but also her three husbands.
"Lady Su!"
Upon seeing Su Qinghe enter, Qin Ange greeted her somewhat awkwardly, glancing quickly at the three young men beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that they didn't seem bothered, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then felt ashamed of his own petty thoughts.
He always felt guilty when facing Su Qinghe's three husbands.
"Haven't you all eaten yet?"
Su Qinghe frowned and asked. Were they waiting for her again?
Ji Yuan could tell from her expression that she had misunderstood, so he quickly put down the plate he was holding and went to take her hand.
"We've already eaten. We just came to say hello to Young Master Qin and to see you."
Ji Yuan wore a gentle smile, gently pinched Su Qinghe's hand, exchanged a glance with her, and then gave a meaningful look to Qin Ange, who looked a little awkward to the side.
"My eyes are a little tired from doing needlework all day. I'd like to go back to my room and take a nap. I won't keep you company, Young Master Qin."
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he smiled apologetically at Qin Ange and pulled Ji Qingyu, who still wanted to stay, out the door.
“My lady, I didn’t rest well last night, so I’ll go back to my room first.”
"Please enjoy your meal, Young Master Qin!"
Lin Xi blushed slightly when she gave this reason. She glanced quickly at Su Qinghe, took small steps, and left the house, closing the door behind her.
"My lord..."
Seeing that her last husband was also leaving, Qin Ange anxiously tried to call him back.
Although he usually didn't care about the etiquette of women and men not sitting together, he didn't want to be impolite in front of so many of her husbands.
It would have been better if they hadn't known, but now they do.
If a foreign man like him is dining alone in a room with their wives, will they think he has ulterior motives?
The door slammed shut without a second thought, and Lin Xi left without looking back.
Qin Ange opened her mouth, glanced uneasily at Su Qinghe, and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
"Stop looking, sit down and start eating. Weren't you just saying you were hungry?"
Su Qinghe smiled and led the man to his seat, then helped him pour all the meat that was placed some distance away into the pot.
"They usually take a nap in the afternoon, so don't overthink it."
While explaining, Su Qinghe kept poking at the beef in the strainer with her chopsticks. Only when all the slices of meat had lost their color did she calmly lift the strainer out of the pot and set it aside.
