Neither of the two men got the better of her, and Song Xingyao just wanted to escape from there as quickly as possible.
Lolo accurately grasped the meaning behind her words and chimed in, "Um... I'm full too."
After finishing their meal, Fu Siming had no reason to linger there any longer. Song Xingyao stood in front of the office window and watched his car drive away from the hospital entrance.
Only then did he realize that Shi Yu had been staring at him for a long time.
She touched her face awkwardly. "What?"
Shi Yu rarely saw any other expression on her face. He didn't when he first met her, nor when they were studying at Sekro. She was always indifferent. The only time he saw her angry was when a woman named Joy stole his photo album at graduation.
Even then, she didn't show any extra expression; she just gave a few sarcastic remarks with a cold face.
But once she returned to Jiangcheng, back to that man's side, Song Xingyao's emotions became much more vibrant.
This is something he has to admit.
He shook his head. "You seem distracted and can't shake it off. Why don't you explain yourself? That's not like you."
She shrugged. "This person is different from the others who come for consultation."
"What's different?"
Song Xingyao thought about it seriously for a moment, "He is mute."
Shi Yu was also free, so he lingered in Song Xingyao's office for the entire afternoon, only leaving near the end of the workday. Song Xingyao received a message from Qiao Yiming, and then they left the hospital together.
As soon as Qiao Yiming saw Song Xingyao, he rushed over to her with a look of utter distress. "Sister Yaoyao, I'm exhausted! Why did you leave in such a hurry this morning?"
"The dean called urgently, asking me to come back. What's wrong?"
"Don't even mention it! This morning, my brother said that if 'Ten Days' could top the ratings in prime time, he'd delete the photos and videos. But this afternoon, I found out that the prime time slot has been changed and revamped, compressing the original runtime of one show and airing two shows at the same time. The director of that show is also an award-winning dark horse. I think he just doesn't want to delete them! I'm so angry!"
Song Xingyao heard her chatter on and on, then stuffed a bite of pistachio ice cream into her mouth. The ice was so cold that she didn't react in time and grimaced.
"you……"
Song Xingyao said softly, "You are the Queen of Pop, why are you afraid of this? The publicity team for 'Ten Days' has been working hard lately, and I've seen quite a few people in our office discussing it!"
Qiao Yiming swallowed the ice cream in his mouth, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more.
The two women were quite capable shoppers. Qiao Yiming channeled her grief and anger into spending power, and since she had Qiao Yiyang's card, she swiped it like crazy.
She also bought a bag for Anna and her assistant, as a token of Qiao Yiyang's good deeds.
Song Xingyao was persuaded to buy two dresses and several outfits for Fu Xunzhi, including a pair of metal cuffs inlaid with black diamonds. She suddenly remembered the man's dark face at noon and felt that they matched well, so she swiped her card to buy them as well.
Wherever the two women went shopping, they left a mess. They were originally carrying one or two bags, but they eventually had the shop assistants deliver them all to their homes.
Song Xingyao couldn't keep up with the shopaholic Qiao Yiming's energy. She sat on the sofa in the fitting room and waved her hand, "Go ahead and try them on, I'll wait for you here."
She wanted to call Aunt Qi before Fu Siming came home, but suddenly heard a noise coming from the flowerpot in the corner of the fitting room. Looking up, she saw the leaves of the money tree, which had been quiet just moments before, swaying.
Song Xingyao stood up and walked over inquisitively.
I found a little girl sitting next to a flowerpot with her knees drawn up to her chest. The huge flowerpot looked bigger than her, no wonder I didn't notice her when I came in.
Song Xingyao didn't know whose child this was, but the girl looked timid and frightened, and her pale face made her look quite pitiful.
The two stared at each other for a while, then Song Xingyao reached out her hand, "Why are you sitting here?"
She didn't move, and Song Xingyao patiently didn't pull her hand away. After a while, the little girl seemed to think of something and reached out to put her hand on Song Xingyao's hand.
Feeling the sweat on her palms, Song Xingyao took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped them for her, then continued to ask, "How did you get in? Where are your parents?"
I could clearly feel the little person in front of me stiffen for a moment when they heard "Dad".
After packing everything up, Song Xingyao saw that she was still unwilling to speak, so she prepared to ask the sales assistant to help her check the store's surveillance footage before making a decision.
I had just stood up when she grabbed me, "No... Dad... Mom, the phone."
Song Xingyao understood what she meant, sat back in her previous seat, and dialed the number she had given.
The phone was answered after ringing for a short while. A woman's anxious voice came from the other end. Song Xingyao briefly explained the situation and told her her location.
While waiting for her mother, Song Xingyao learned that her name was Sun Hui.
Then the child sat there without crying or fussing, staring at the fitting room door as if some monster might come out from there.
Hearing the door open, Song Xingyao saw a simply dressed woman walk quickly towards her. Her cardigan slipped off her shoulder due to the large movement, and her eyes were red as if she had just been crying. She pulled Sun Hui into her arms as if she had found a treasure again.
After checking her over and finding no injuries, he stood up and thanked Song Xingyao.
Song Xingyao kindly straightened her clothes, and the woman spoke somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious. Thank you. I really didn't know what I would have done if she had disappeared!"
"It was nothing." Song Xingyao squatted down in front of Sun Hui and gently patted her head. "You can't run around like that next time, or you might run into bad people. You don't want your mother to worry, right?"
Sun Hui nodded understandingly, while the woman standing to the side showed a hint of surprise on her face.
The two exchanged contact information, and Li Xinyi said, "I will definitely repay this favor if I have the chance in the future."
Song Xingyao didn't take it seriously and saw the mother and daughter out.
When she returned, Qiao Yiming walked out with difficulty, dressed in a formal suit. Looking at her white tulle gown with its large skirt, Song Xingyao stared in disbelief. "Are you getting married?"
Qiao Yiming rolled her eyes at her. "Please, this is a trendy wedding dress-inspired gown. Besides, who am I marrying..."
After grumbling for a while, she stood in front of the mirror and admired her graceful figure.
Song Xingyao had to admit that Qiao Yiming was a princess; she was perfectly suited to such a dreamy dress. However, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she still teased her a couple of times: "Who you're marrying, do I have to tell you?"
Enraged, Qiao Yiming turned around and lunged at her from in front of the mirror.
"Aa ...
Song Xingyao raised her hands in surrender, "I didn't say who it was!"
After saying that, she immediately changed the subject, "It looks good, it suits you very well, it's like it was tailor-made for you."
"This one will do." She handed over the card, then moved back to change her clothes.
