When Ji Fuling returned to her booth, the two flushes on her cheeks had not yet faded.
Ji Tiantian, who was eating cake, looked up, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Mommy, you've been gone for so long! I'm almost full!"
"Long? It's alright."
Ji Fuling forced a stiff smile and sat down in her seat, trying to appear calm.
Her three kids are very clever, and she doesn't want anyone to notice anything amiss.
However, the ever-observant Ji Zihan immediately noticed her unusual expression and asked with some suspicion, "Mommy, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziming glanced at the red-faced woman a few times, then nodded her head thoughtfully and said, "It's really red, just like when we saw you kissing Uncle Ye at the hospital last time."
"Oh~ Did Mommy and Uncle Ye kiss? Why is Sweetie the only one who doesn't know? Sweetie wants to see too!"
The little girl instantly became excited, displaying her gossipy nature to the fullest at such a young age.
Ji Fuling: "..."
Mo Zai, why do you have to bring up things you don't want to talk about?
There's no need to remember these things so clearly.
Okay, listen to Mommy, and forget about it right away!
After silently cursing a few times in her heart, Ji Fuling calmed herself down, picked up her coffee and took a sip, saying slowly, "Mommy's face is red just because it's a little hot. The ventilation in this restaurant doesn't seem to be very good."
"Am I blocking the window behind me because I'm sitting here? I'll move to another spot; it might be better that way."
Zuo Yiming, who was sitting by the window, stood up as he spoke.
Ji Fuling was about to say no, but before she could even speak, the decisive Zuo Yiming had already switched seats with the two little cuties.
Ye Nanqing, who was a step behind and came out of the restroom, happened to see this scene as he passed by.
His gaze fell on Zuo Yiming beside Ji Fuling, his brows furrowed, and his dark eyes flashed with a cold light.
Because of the screen, he hadn't even noticed the man's presence.
What is this person's relationship with Ji Fuling?
How come I've never seen you before?
"Nan Qing, what are you doing standing there?"
Old Madam Ye caught sight of Ye Nanqing standing in the passageway, called out in confusion, and then waved to him, "Come here quickly, the food is getting cold."
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Nanqing briefly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the booth.
As he strode in with his long legs and commanding presence, Qiao Yu'er stared wide-eyed, a charming expression on her face.
Ye Nanqing kept a sullen face and didn't even glance at her. He deliberately chose a seat where he could see Ji Fuling's booth.
In my field of vision, Ji Fuling was chatting and laughing with the man, and the three children also seemed to know him very well, as if they had known each other for a long time.
“Brother Nanqing…”
Qiao Yu'er wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed that Ye Nanqing's expression was getting colder and colder, as if a single glance could freeze a person. She was so frightened that she quickly swallowed her words and dared not utter another sound.
Seeing this, Madam Ye asked suspiciously, "Nan Qing, what are you looking at? You're not eating or saying anything. What's so interesting over there?"
"nothing."
Ye Nanqing gave a casual reply, his tone completely flat.
Old Madam Ye shook her head helplessly.
To be honest, most of the time she, as a mother, couldn't understand her son's thoughts and was completely helpless with him.
Turning her head, she noticed that Qiao Yu'er looked somewhat dejected, and the old lady comforted her, "Yu'er, if he won't eat, we'll eat it ourselves."
A moment later.
Ji Fuling and the others at the other table finished their meal and got up to leave.
With one arm around Ji Zihan and the other around Ji Zimo, Zuo Yiming said with some emotion, "It's been a while since I've seen you. Hanhan and Momo have grown quite a bit taller. In a few more years, they'll probably be able to catch up with me."
Ji Fuling, holding little Ji Tiantian's hand, laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Aren't you exaggerating a bit? It's possible in another ten years."
Aunt Ding couldn't help but chime in, "Third Miss, I don't think Yiming is exaggerating at all. Young Master Huo also said before that, judging from Hanhan and Momo's bone development, they will definitely grow up to be tall and have long legs!"
"What about Tian Tian? Did Uncle Huo say that Tian Tian will also have long legs when she grows up?"
Before Ji Zihan and Ji Zimo, the two parties involved, could say anything, the little girl, who always wanted to get involved in everything, couldn't wait to ask questions.
Ji Fuling couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to pinch the little girl's soft cheeks. "How come you're involved in everything? And you have long legs too? You should go back and wash up and go to sleep now that you're full. You can dream about anything."
As she spoke, she took a step forward and led the little girl outside.
Zuo Yiming followed closely behind with his two little darlings.
Aunt Ding walked at the very back.
The scene of the group interacting and leaving looked to onlookers like a happy family.
Seeing this, Ye Nanqingjun's face was filled with a deep gloom, and he barely managed to restrain himself from crushing the water glass in his hand.
Seeing Ji Fuling and the others walk out of the restaurant and get into the car and leave, he could no longer contain himself. He suddenly stood up and strode out.
"Hey, Nan Qing, where are you going?"
"Brother Nanqing, aren't you going to eat?"
Madam Ye and Qiao Yu'er spoke at the same time.
Ye Nanqing didn't stop or turn around. His thin, straight lips moved slightly as he uttered a gentle voice, "Mom, I have to go first. Please enjoy your meal. The driver will come to pick you up later."
Watching helplessly as the man she was obsessed with left, without even having a chance to exchange words with him, Qiao Yu'er was extremely disappointed.
Madam Ye could only try to appease him again, "Nan Qing has always been this way of being, rather aloof. But this is only the first time you've met him, so he should get better with more interaction in the future."
"Understood, Aunt Ye."
Qiao Yu'er nodded.
Although it was her first time meeting Ye Nanqing, she fell in love with this perfect man at first sight.
She will definitely work hard to make Ye Nanqing fall in love with her too!
At the entrance of Huixiangxuan.
A black Maybach was parked on the side of the road, with Chen Heng sitting in the driver's seat.
He stared at the silver-gray Porsche speeding away ahead, inwardly sighing—
Fate is truly a wonderful thing!
I never expected that Miss Ji would also be dining at this restaurant.
I wonder if the nightclub has seen Miss Ji?
Suddenly, the rear door of the Maybach opened, and Ye Nanqing, who exuded a chill, got into the car.
The temperature inside the carriage plummeted to freezing point the moment he entered.
Chen Heng couldn't help but shiver, and then a cold, deep command came to his ears, "Follow them."
"ah?"
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
Ye Nanqing gritted his teeth, his voice bursting out from between them, "Follow that Porsche that just left."
As soon as Porsche was mentioned, Chen Heng understood.
He quickly replied "Yes," and then started the car to chase after them.
