Seeing that Xia Jinqi was so cooperative, Yan Qing suppressed the boiling hatred in his heart and said gently, "I'll go down first. You can come down in five minutes to prevent Yan Jun from suspecting you. "
With that, he gave Xia Jinqi a deep look before he left.
Xia Jinqi did not turn back to look at him. She only sneered. If she went down in five minutes, would Yan Jun not suspect her?
He had underestimated Yan Jun too much.
A moment after Yan Qing left, all the lights in the corridor suddenly turned on.
The servants who had gone to god-knows-where had all returned.
When the servants who were responsible for taking care of the two children returned, Xia Jinqi asked casually, "where did you go? "
"Just now, second master said that Young Madam asked us to leave for a while, so... " the few maids looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing their expressions, Xia Jinqi did not ask further, only saying, "take good care of them. "
"Don't worry, Young Madam. "
Xia Jinqi kissed the foreheads of the two children one by one, then turned around and went downstairs.
Yan Qing had used his identity to be at ease in the Yan family.
And since he had promised not to touch the two children, then at least until she obtained the so-called secrets of the Yan family from Yan Jun, he would not make a move again.
However... ...
In this way, there would definitely be a gap between her and Yan Jun..
Was this Yan Qing's plan?
To obtain the Yan family and drive a wedge between her and Yan Jun..
The trust that she and Yan Jun had painstakingly built up, was it going to be tested so soon?
Was it going to be a victory after holding on, or was it going to be a failure during the test?
No one could say for sure.
�`�`�`
The banquet was still continuing.
Yan Jun had waited for a long time, but Xia Jinqi was still not back. His heart was already feeling a little uneasy.
Just as he was about to get up to look for her, he saw Yan Qing slowly walking back. The corners of his mouth were still as light as before, leisurely chatting and laughing with Yan Youcheng.
You Xi also turned her head to look at Yan Qing. Their gazes met in the air, and then Yan Qing nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Yan Jun sized her up without batting an eyelid. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip.
Not long after, Xia Jinqi would also come.
Unlike before, her face was a little stiff when she came back this time.
After she sat down, it was obvious that she was not as lively as before.
Yan Jun sized her up for a moment and asked casually, "why have you been gone for so long? "
"I'm a little... uncomfortable. " Xia Jinqi randomly found an excuse and instinctively wanted to smile at Yan Jun, telling him not to worry ...
However, the corner of her eyes quickly caught Yan Qing's extremely displeased gaze, and Xia Jinqi's smile immediately froze on the corner of her mouth.
She could only avoid Yan Jun's gaze and bury her head in pretending to be enthusiastic about the food on her plate.
Before she could think of a way to solve the current predicament, she could only deliberately maintain a distance from Yan Jun..
Yan Qing's threat was still ringing in her ears.
She was not afraid of a direct confrontation because that way, she could still be aboveboard and aboveboard.
The most difficult to deal with was Yan Qing's sneaky move, which was impossible to guard against.
When Yan Qing saw Xia Jinqi stiffly treat Yan Jun, the smile on his face became even wider.
He seemed to be very satisfied with Xia Jinqi's performance.
It was still Xia Mingzhu's idea that worked, making him use Xia Jinqi's child as a threat.
Speaking of which, Yan Qing also thought for a long time. Other than the child, what other weakness Could Xia Jinqi have?
She seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined.
While Yan Qing was sneering, he didn't notice Yan Jun who was drinking and glancing at him from the corner of his eyes.
