"Hey, Little Four, aren't you afraid that you'll make me angry by chasing me out of here when you're done?" Tang Qing raised his eyebrows as he looked at Tang Jinyao.

Tang Jinyao glanced at her for a moment before continuing, "Tang Qing, it's time for you to leave."

The smile in Tang Qing's eyes became even more profound as she looked at Ji Xinqing, "Chairman Ji, what I just said was not a lie. You should thank Little Four properly later."

Thank?

How could she thank him?

Ji Xinqing lowered her head in embarrassment. Suddenly, she didn't know how to respond.

Tang Qing smiled again before leaving.

After Tang Qing left, the atmosphere between the three of them became a bit awkward.

Yang Qi also noticed the differences between Ji Xinqing and Tang Jinyao, and suddenly recalled that Tang Qing had given her a meaningful look before she left.

Yang Qi quickly stood up.

"President Ji, I suddenly remember that I have something to do later on, so I'll be leaving first."

"Qiqi." Ji Xinqing shouted at her.

The atmosphere was already awkward. If she was allowed to stay, she wouldn't even know how to deal with Tang Jinyao.

"President, I really have something on. I'm rushing to go on a blind date. It's not like you don't know that my mom is urging me to get married."

Ji Xinqing could only silently let go of her hand.

Yang Qi picked up her bag and said to Tang Jin, "Mr. Tang, I'll be leaving first then."

Tang Jinyao raised an eyebrow, "Take your time, see you out."

Soon, only Ji Xinqing and Tang Yao were left in the large teahouse.

Ji Xinqing was restless.

Ji Xinqing originally didn't think much of it, but Tang Qing's words still lingered in her ears. She suddenly felt a little afraid to face Tang Jin.

Now, as soon as she met his gaze, she felt uncomfortable.

Ji Xinqing suddenly had the urge to run away from the man in front of her as if she had been eaten by an ant.

Tang Jinyao leisurely poured himself another cup of tea.

He raised his head and glanced at Ji Xinqing. Ji Xinqing had her head lowered and her hands were tightly folded. It seemed that she was very nervous.

Tang Jinyao slowly pursed his lips. He wasn't in a rush. It wasn't until he saw the bottom of the teacup that he finally spoke. "Miss Ji."

"Huh?" Ji Xinqing had been in a daze the entire time. When she heard him call her, she was even stunned for a moment.

Tang Jinyao slowly stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Miss Ji, it's time for lunch."

Ji Xinqing stood up helplessly. She did not understand the deep meaning behind his words.

He was tightly holding onto a corner of his bag. "Mr. Tang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Tang Jinyao shook his head as his lips curved into a smile again. "Miss Ji, did you not understand what I just said?"

Ji Xinqing did not dare to look at him and politely thanked him.

"Mr. Tang, I will have to trouble you with meeting Miss Tang Qing today."

"Hmm? That's it? " It was a slow and unhurried tone, with a hint of a hook in it.

As the two of them were very close, Ji Xinqing could smell a faint fragrance from the man.

She understood his words.

However, Ji Xinqing did not want to be alone with this man, so she had to find an excuse to leave.

Ji Xinqing took a step back unnaturally before she spoke again, "Mr. Tang, I'm really sorry. My daughter is still at Starry Night. I have to go back and take care of her, so I can't —"

"Miss Ji, I will instruct Tang Han to take care of Little Appearance."

"But …"

"Or is it that Miss Ji isn't willing to give me face?" Tang Jinyao didn't even give her the chance to speak.

Since she had already said so, Ji Xinqing could only swallow her words of rejection.

The one who owed her a favor was her. She had no reason to reject it.

Ji Xinqing helplessly agreed.

"Then, Mr. Tang, please choose a place this time."

Tang Jinyao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction as he walked past Ji Xinqing.

Standing on the spot, Ji Xinqing held her bag and let out a sigh of relief before following him.

Ji Xinqing, who was sitting in the back seat, kept her gaze outside the window.

She could only use this method to ease the tension in her heart.

For some reason, when she faced Tang Jinyao, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.

It wasn't just because he owed Ye Xiao so much, it was because of a strange emotion that Ye Xiao couldn't explain.

Soon, Tang Jinyao arrived at a famous restaurant in the imperial capital.

The sound of the brakes stopped Ji Xinqing's thoughts.

Ji Xinqing forced out a smile, but it drove away that unknown emotion in her heart.

Tang Jinyao got out of the car first, then opened the back door. He slowly handed his hand over to Ji Xinqing and said, "Miss Ji, this way please."

He was going to lead … His own hand?

Ji Xinqing stared blankly at the bony hand in front of her as an unfamiliar emotion surged once again.

He was an unreachable young master, but he himself … Ji Xinqing's heart tightened as she got off the car herself.

"Mr. Tang, let's go."

With a smile, Tang Jinyao retracted her hand and said, "Miss Ji, you were the one who invited me last time. This time, it's my turn."

Ji Xinqing wanted to reject him, but before she could say anything, she nodded her head in agreement.

The two of them walked into the dining room.

A waiter came forward and politely asked, "Hello mister, may I know two?"

"Both of you."

"Sure, this way." The waiter led them in a certain direction.

Ji Xinqing wanted to turn around, but suddenly, a man and a woman walked out from the corner in front of her.

The smile on Ji Xinqing's face froze.

It was Meng, Qin Guan and Shen Dian.

Shen Cangshu held Meng QIng's hand with a face full of smiles, looking very … Happiness.

Ji Xinqing coldly looked away. She no longer wanted to look at the two of them and was about to leave.

But when he saw her, he cried out in surprise, "Sister-in-law! Why are you here? "

Even though she was seen, Ji Xinqing still took her steps.

These two people had thoroughly displayed the two words "secret love" and even naturally whispered 'me' in front of her. What did they take her to be?

Meng Qin Guan also saw Ji Xinqing, but looking at her back, he felt embarrassed. He let go of Shen Dian's hand and chased after her.

He grabbed Ji Xinqing's wrist, his eyes full of warning, "Ji Xinqing, are you done yet? You went out for a week and didn't even call home. Do you know how worried Dad and I are about you? Do you really have a conscience? "

Ji Xinqing pulled her hand away with a smile.

"Conscience?" She looked at Meng Qin Guan and said, "Meng Qin Guan, before you ask me these two words, can I trouble you to ask yourself how to write the word 'loyalty'?"

Ji Xinqing was smiling, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes.

Most of them were mocking and ridiculing.

This man, her husband in name, had openly brought other women out for dinner and he actually dared to ask her about her conscience.

Ridiculous.

Ji Xinqing took a step back and said coldly, "I still have things to do, so I won't disturb your meal. Goodbye."

"Ji Xinqing!" Meng Qin Guan shouted through gritted teeth.

It was lunchtime and the restaurant was filled with customers coming and going.

Meng Qin Guan didn't want to lose face. He called out to Ji Xinqing but she didn't reply. Then, he quickly chased after her.
