When she returned from the restroom, she noticed a man sitting in her spot. Just by seeing his back, she recognized him and imdiately quickened her pace towards them.
Seeing Xiao Qing approaching, Xiaobao smiled and waved at her, "Mommy, Mommy, Uncle Song is telling us a story."
Telling a story?
Xiao Qing stood next to them, her face expressionless, "Mr. Song? What a coincidence. I’ve noticed that we always seem to run into you when we dine out lately. I wonder if it’s just a coincidence or if it’s arranged on purpose?"
Ye Han thought he was a friend of Lu Jinyang, so she was unguarded. However, hearing Xiao Qing’s words, this man did not seem as amiable as he appeared. She imdiately straightened up and subconsciously moved closer to the children.
It was unclear if Song Zhiqing had noticed Ye Han’s actions. He stood up, gave Xiao Qing a shallow smile, "Mrs. Lu, I didn’t expect we’d et again so soon. It seems I am not only fated with Lu Jinyang but also have a deep connection with you~ My appointnt canceled on ; would I have the honor of joining you for dinner?"
Xiao Qing refused without a second thought, "Sorry, we are not accustod to dining with strangers." With that, she splashed the water from the cup in front of her onto the stool where Song Zhiqing had been sitting and then called over a server to replace the stool.
Song Zhiqing seed oblivious to it all, his shallow smile unchanged, "Well, in that case, I guess I will dine alone~" He said, waving at Xiaobao before turning and leaving.
Daobao had not said a word since Song Zhiqing appeared. His gaze seed occasionally to fall on Song Zhiqing, seemingly casual yet secretly observing him.
But he realized, this man was even scarier than daddy, just like an old fox.
Daddy would show emotions, but this man’s expressions from start to finish were not genuine at all, mommy said so, and he wasn’t angry at all.
As soon as he left, Xiao Qing let out a sigh of relief. She sent a ssage to Lu Jinyang informing him about the situation. After hanging up the phone, she earnestly said to Ye Han, "Mom, that man was Jinyang’s friend, but Jinyang has recently had a falling out with him, and I’m afraid he may have ulterior motives."
Ye Han looked slightly embarrassed, "I... I just heard him ntion Jinyang, and seeing that he was handso, so..."
Xiao Qing sighed deeply and said no more.
Ye Han, having led a pampered life for too long and only mingling with other wealthy ladies, had little experience with intricate sches. In the face of soone as cunning as Song Zhiqing, she was a complete novice.
They had planned to go ho after eating for fear of what might happen if they stayed out. Unexpectedly, before they even finished their al, Lu Jinyang had rushed over.
She said, "We’re fine; don’t you have sothing to do?"
"Nothing is more important than you~"
Xiao Qing felt ward, "Have you eaten? If not, eat here before we go back?"
"Okay."
After the al, Lu Jinyang personally escorted them ho, then returned to the office. Still worried, he called He Ning to arrange for soone to keep watch over the mansion.
Perhaps because he had been too tired recently, Lu Jinyang always felt as though sothing significant was about to happen.
Back at his office, Leng Yixing called again. Lu Jinyang fought the urge to hit the hang-up button and answered the call.
"Jinyang, I got my hands on that video. It’s him again!"
"Who?"
"Song Zhiqing!"
