After dinner, the atmosphere suddenly beca tense.
Xiao Qing lowered her head, silently sipping her tea. The other three exchanged looks.
She silently sighed, relieved that she wasn’t involved in Lu Jinyang’s plan, otherwise no matter how many explanations she offered, they wouldn’t suffice.
"Lu Jinyang, what exactly do you an?" Xiao Anze was the first to break the silence at the dining table and asked.
"Which matter are you asking about?"
It wasn’t clear if it was Lu Jinyang’s attitude that angered Xiao Anze, but his gaze suddenly turned sharp, "Lu Jinyang! Five years ago, I took my sister away without notifying you, which was wrong on my part. But what’s the aning of you being involved ambiguously with my woman now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing was a bit surprised; she didn’t expect her brother to directly admit his mistake to Lu Jinyang under such circumstances.
She turned to look at Yang Qiao, only to find no trace of surprise on Yang Qiao’s face, which left her thoughtful.
"That’s a thing of the past, why would I still mind it now. But you, Xiao Anze, you brought Xiao Qing back, but did you take good care of her? Do you know how many mbers of the Xiao family want to drive her away now?"
Lu Jinyang’s words struck Xiao Anze’s heart one by one, the latter part of his speech being the most vital. He raised his eyes: "Who in the Xiao Family would target her? They have absolutely no vested interest in doing so."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang sneered, "You are too full of yourself! I don’t have ti to deal with you right now; when I root out those pests, we’ll settle the account properly!"
For so reason, Xiao Anze felt a hint of panic in his heart seeing Lu Jinyang like this.
He knew Lu Jinyang was not soone who spoke casually. After saying so much, it implied there truly was an issue.
But Xiao Qing has been lively these years, what could possibly be wrong?
Lu Jinyang could see Xiao Anze’s confusion. He didn’t speak, as he hasn’t fully investigated the matter and won’t let Xiao Qing know so soon, or rather, he never intends to let Xiao Qing know about the Contraceptive Ring in her lifeti.
Suddenly, the dining table fell silent again.
Xiao Qing hated this feeling. She glanced at the ti and said to Xiao Anze, "Brother, we need to pick up the kids, let’s talk later."
"Alright, take care on the road." Yang Qiao had just spoken when she received a sharp glare from Xiao Anze; she sighed helplessly, knowing it was not an easy matter to handle.
Seeing he didn’t speak, Yang Qiao gave Xiao Qing a aningful look. Xiao Qing understood and imdiately grabbed her bag and hurried off with Lu Jinyang, fearing they wouldn’t be able to leave if they delayed any longer.
Once they left the dining area, Xiao Qing let go of Lu Jinyang’s hand, found her own car, and sat in the passenger seat.
Lu Jinyang soon sat in the driver’s seat, taking the keys from her, but he didn’t start the car imdiately.
She turned her face and asked, "Why aren’t you driving?"
"Today, I intentionally let Xiao Anze see Peng Yi and Yang Qiao together, it was also for the person behind the scenes to see." He said.
Xiao Qing was shocked, "So, you an that person will reveal himself soon?"
"Yes, be more cautious these next few days, I will arrange for soone to protect you in secret."
"Pfft~" She laughed, thinking it’s like the era of the underworld where stepping outside posed a threat to life. "
But Lu Jinyang said seriously, "No jokes!"
She gradually stopped smiling and nodded seriously, "I’ll be cautious."
When they got back to the villa, Xiao Qing spent the whole night playing with the kids until they fell asleep and then returned to her room.
But, she found that Lu Jinyang was not there.
