"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. You know that we are alone, so you brought a beautiful woman with you."
He spoke without thinking at all, so much so that after he said it, he felt a chill on his neck.
The cold air around him made Mao Qihang turn his head and look several times.
Second brother is not here?
He thought that something was wrong and that made his second brother feel cold.
Just as he was about to look away, Mao Qihang suddenly shuddered when his eyes met Qi Jun's gloomy gaze.
No way?
Mao Qihang looked like he had discovered a new world. He looked at Nancy who was following behind Xia Yunxi, and then at Qi Jun who was slightly pursing his lips.
No way, I don’t think this guy is a womanizer at all.
"Nancy was not brought here specially for you to see. I invited her here specially. She is my good friend, so don't try to take advantage of her." Xia Yunxi said with a smile.
Then he looked around and didn't see Li Hanting, so he asked directly.
"Where's Han Ting?"
"Hi, your Aunt Lin seems to have something to do, so she specially asked for leave for your second brother. Isn't your second brother going back to pick up those two little ones?" Mao Qihang said without any unfamiliarity.
"Li Hanting went back to pick up An An and Jin Chen?" Xia Yunxi was surprised.
"Yeah, if I had known earlier, I would have found a girlfriend earlier, and then brought a family member, so that we could have a complete scene." Mao Qihang looked at Nancy who was sitting next to Xia Yunxi, and said with a sour tone.
Xia Yunxi laughed, thinking that this guy was really funny.
I guess he guessed something, otherwise he wouldn't have such a tone.
She raised her eyes to look at Qi Jun opposite her. Well, his face was comparable to Li Hanting's, with a cold expression and even a hint of gloom.
If someone didn’t know this, they would think someone owed him 12 million!
Okay, the person next to me does owe the other person money.
Wherever Mao Qihang is, the atmosphere is always harmonious and warm.
When Li Hanting brought the two children over, the private room was already buzzing with lively conversation.
Mainly listening to Mao Qihang bragging about himself, but he has a good eloquence, and when he tells some interesting stories, people can't help but listen with great interest.
Xia Yunxi feels that his stage is not to be busy in his own company.
But it is suitable for stage, such as crosstalk.
But she didn't say this. Although Mao Qihang is a funny guy, if she really said it, she would be making fun of the other person.
As soon as Xia Yu'an and Li Jinchen entered the door, they shouted together: "Mommy, Mommy..."
"Oh, you only see mom in your eyes. You can't see a living person like me right in front of you?"
"Uncle Mao, you said you would take me for a ride, why didn't you keep your word? I've been waiting for you for a long time--" When Xia Yuan saw Mao Qihang, he immediately ran over to criticize him.
Only Li Jinchen sat obediently beside his mother. His straight little body and well-behaved appearance made everyone present adorable.
Mao Qihang attracted Xia Yuan's attention, so Peng Zihao naturally became interested in Li Jinchen.
But Li Jinchen is just like his father, with a cold little face that is not easy to make laugh.
But he didn't expect that this time, Peng Zihao had just said a word and Li Jinchen smiled shyly at him.
Yes, just a shy smile.
Peng Zihao immediately felt as if the fragrance of blooming flowers suddenly exploded at his nose.
Even the air seemed sweet and refreshing.
This is probably the feeling of being overjoyed, right?
It's really not easy. Ever since they suddenly learned that Li Hanting had a son when they were young, none of their brothers could make the little guy laugh.
But I didn't expect that the child would change faster and faster after following his mother.
As expected, a child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a weed.
Peng Zihao even started to wonder if the reason why Li Jinchen used to be so autistic and lived in his own world was because his second brother abused the child?
Otherwise, how could the child have such changes?
"Have you ordered yet?"
Li Hanting pulled out the chairs next to Xia Yunxi and Li Jinchen, glanced around, and asked.
"It's because you haven't arrived yet, second brother, so we are waiting for you." Mao Qihang was not afraid of Li Hanting at all.
"You're really promising. You're not even hungry!" Li Hanting sneered.
"I'm hungry. Who said I'm not hungry? But not everyone is here yet and the food is served. Do you think I'm going to wait for you to eat the leftovers?" Mao Qihang didn't feel at all that he was stroking a tiger's head.
Li Hanting glanced at him slowly, then picked up the menu and opened it.
He scanned the area and glanced at the woman beside him.
I don't know what he was whispering to Nancy. They were so close together, their voices were soft and low. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but the tone was like tickling my ear.
It softens all the way into my heart.
Li Hanting's eyes were slightly deep, and perhaps he didn't even realize that the dishes he ordered were all Xia Yunxi and the two children's favorites.
After Li Hanting ordered, the menu was passed around and everyone ordered their favorite flavors.
"Second brother, I heard from Qin Zhe that you want to participate in the drug research project that the S government specially bid for?" Mao Qihang asked.
"The news came out so quickly." Li Hanting glanced over with cold eyes.
"Don't look at me, I didn't spread it." Mao Qihang immediately declared, almost swearing to the sky.
"The news has spread outside, and there are several companies competing for it. The media are following up." Qi Jun, who had been silent, spoke lightly at this time.
Li Hanting frowned, "Which media?"
"Red Star." Qi Jun said two words.
Li Hanting chuckled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoked one, and held it between his fingertips.
Mao Qihang was very considerate. He immediately took out his lighter and went forward to light the cigarette for him.
Li Hanting tilted his head slightly, with a cigarette in his mouth. The faint red flame lit the cigarette, and smoke slowly spread from his fingertips.
Thinking of something, he looked at Xia Yunxi: "It seems that Hongxing has operated on you before."
Xia Yunxi: “…”
Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes were looking at the burning cigarette on his fingertips, with deep disgust in her eyes.
"What, second brother, are you saying that Hongxing used his sister-in-law as an operating table?" Mao Qihang stood up first.
Peng Zihao pondered for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Is it the public opinion about my sister-in-law last time?"
That public opinion caused a stir throughout Jiang Cheng, and it was hard for everyone not to know about it. Those brothers who were close to Li Hanting naturally knew the ins and outs of it.
"Could it be that the person they have been trying to deal with is you?" Qi Jun also raised his eyes and looked at Li Hanting.
The few of them were discussing heatedly and did not notice that Nancy, who was sitting on Xia Yunxi's right, had a pair of tough eyes flashing with affection that she herself might not even be aware of.
There was bitterness and sadness that only she understood as she looked at the man.
Thinking about my current situation, I can’t break free and I don’t know how to get out of this vicious circle.
