Chapter 279 How come I run into him everywhere?!
Zhizhi seemed to understand what they were saying. She suddenly jumped off the sofa, opened the bedroom door with her two front paws, went out and brought in her food bowl, placed it on the coffee table, and pointed to her bowl with one paw, indicating that they should put the food in her bowl.
The group was stunned by its actions; they hadn't expected it to be so intelligent and sophisticated.
Qiaoqiao immediately put a shrimp in Zhizhi's bowl, and Zhizhi ate it in one bite. Then, it raised its paw and pointed to another plate of food, indicating that it wanted some.
Qiaoqiao immediately put another one on it.
Nanxia felt a lump in her throat as she watched her daughter actually taking care of others. In the past, it was always her and Zhouzhou who protected her and took care of her in every possible way.
"Mommy, go eat quickly. What if Daddy comes in if you stay here too long?" Zhouzhou said to her.
"Mmm," she replied, composed herself, and walked out.
Song Yanzhi, who was waiting in the restaurant, saw her finally come out and got up to help her pull out a chair in a gentlemanly manner. He had wanted to go and see the two children earlier, but he was afraid that she would be offended.
"Is Lu Qinghe's daughter's autism very serious?" he asked as he sat back down in his seat.
Nanxia glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, she was kidnapped by bad guys when she was a little over four years old. I don't know what she went through or what she saw... Ever since then, she's been afraid of strangers. It's my fault; I was late picking her up from kindergarten..."
She spoke with her eyes lowered, feeling a pang of self-reproach.
Upon hearing her words, Song Yanzhi felt an uncontrollable pang of sympathy, and for some reason, he felt a pang of unease in his heart.
"Don't blame yourself too much. As her father, Lu Qinghe should have gone to pick up the child himself," he comforted her.
Nanxia glanced at him, unable to offer any explanation.
Song Yanzhi placed another piece of food in her bowl, saying, "Try the food I made..."
She picked it up and put it in her mouth, raising an eyebrow. She hadn't expected this man to be such a good cook; it tasted delicious.
"How is it?" he asked, looking at her expectantly.
"It's delicious. Did I used to love your cooking? Did you often cook for me?" Nanxia asked curiously.
Song Yanzhi paused for a moment. She used to enjoy the dishes he cooked, but he hadn't cooked for her often. Now that he thought about it, he felt quite regretful.
They dated for two years, but she was the one who initiated the breakup because she was too close to her male best friend. He didn't know that the man was gay and misunderstood her.
When he found out, he didn't take the initiative to reconcile with her. Since they were in the same industry and often competed with each other, their relationship became even more strained.
He even deliberately won two of her lawsuits.
Make her lose miserably.
Later, she began to resent herself—
Before Shen Yan appeared, he had so many opportunities to reconcile with her, but he never did. In the past six years, Song Yanzhi has been filled with regret.
If he reconciled with her, she would definitely tell him about his feud with the Shen family and wouldn't let him go on the risk alone.
Song Yanzhi picked up a glass of red wine in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, his mood heavy.
"What's wrong?" Nanxia asked, looking at him. Why did this man suddenly look so sad?
"...If I do something wrong, will you forgive me?" he asked, looking at her.
"That depends on what you did wrong," she said with a laugh.
Song Yanzhi poured himself another glass of red wine without saying a word. Nan Xia looked at his expression and vaguely guessed what was going on. Could this man have done something to betray me?
Was she also seduced by a mistress?
So far, we haven't discovered any other women around him.
"Actually, it's nothing. Let's eat." He put another piece of food on her plate.
Inside the restaurant.
Nan Weiwei was having dinner with Xia Shuqing and his daughter.
"Auntie, where did Brother Xiaoyan go? Why didn't he come to eat with us?" Youyou asked sadly, pouting.
"He made two new friends who live in the same neighborhood as us, and he was invited to visit them," Nan Weiwei said helplessly. Xia Shuqing had invited her out for dinner tonight.
"Does Xiao Yan have other friends?" Youyou looked disappointed. Did Xiao Yan not want to be friends with her anymore now that he had other friends?
Xia Shuqing has always cared about her daughter's feelings. Tonight's dinner invitation was something her daughter insisted on paying for herself. This girl, could she be thinking about dating at such a young age?
Nan Weiwei suddenly said, "Then I'll have Xiaoyan introduce his friend to you?"
“…Okay.” In order to see Xiaoyan more often, Youyou has no choice but to get to know his friends. If Daddy could marry Auntie, that would be great, so she could see Brother Xiaoyan every moment!
She blinked. This was a great idea. She liked her aunt very much anyway. Wouldn't it be wonderful if her aunt could be her mommy?
"Daddy, why don't you marry Auntie? I want her to be my mommy," she immediately said, grabbing her father's hand.
Xia Shuqing glanced at the woman opposite him, feeling awkward, and poked the girl's head: "You're not doing this so you can see Xiaoyan more often, are you?"
"No, I really like Auntie. Look how gentle she is and how much she likes me. She's so much better than my biological mother. Daddy, if you miss out on Auntie, you'll never find such a good wife again!" Youyou said to her father.
Nan Weiwei was also a little embarrassed.
Xia Shuqing did have a good impression of Nan Weiwei, but would she even be interested in him?
He was just about to apologize to the woman for secretly following Shen Yan here when he couldn't help but suddenly walk over, glance at the father and daughter, and suppress his displeasure:
"What a coincidence, you're eating here too?"
That little girl is really good at stirring things up, wanting her own woman to be her stepmother? What is she thinking? Did she even get her consent?
Besides, how could Xia Shuqing's conditions compare to his own?
He's Xiaoyan's biological father!
Xiao Yan is so smart and good-looking. When he grows up, he'll need to find a wife who is outstanding in every way. This girl's love-obsessed nature will definitely influence her son.
"..." Nan Wei turned her head slightly, frowning. Why is it him again? Why do I always run into him when I eat out?
"Hello, Mr. Shen, are you here for a business dinner?" Xia Shuqing stood up, shook hands with him, and asked.
"I'm just having a casual meal by myself. Would it be convenient for us to sit together?" he asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, it's not convenient. This is a private gathering, and we don't want to sit with the boss," Nan Weiwei said to him quickly.
Shen Yan then looked at the man, her tone carrying a hint of authority, "Director Xia, do you also find this inconvenient?"
"Mr. Shen, what are you saying? It's convenient. Daisy was probably just joking with you. Don't mind her. Please have a seat," Xia Shuqing said with a smile, raising his hand.
No matter what, this man is my boss, how could I dare to disrespect him to his face?
Shen Yan sat down next to her, turned to look at her, and saw that her face was cold and indifferent. He frowned slightly, wondering how to ease the tension between them.
