Si Yechen couldn't help but wonder as he watched Qingyan finish the soup in her bowl, "What kind of soup is that? It looks delicious, and he also wanted to have a taste."
After finishing their meal, Qingyan got into Yan Bingsong's car again to go to the Jingkang Hotel to pick up something.
Outside the Jinghu Restaurant, Lu Muyao and Gao Yang, who were waiting, witnessed her helping an old man into the car, heading towards the hotel!
Gao Yang felt an inexplicable anger rising within him. He started the engine and followed them.
"I never expected that my sister would really sell herself..." Lu Muyao pretended to cry in the car. "Brother Gao Yang, I never thought that after my sister left the Lu family, she would live such a difficult life..."
"She brought it upon herself!"
For some reason, Gao Yang felt incredibly annoyed when he saw Qingyan's fair and beautiful face. Perhaps it was because he had grown up abroad and hadn't seen Qingyan many times. He didn't expect her to look so stunning when dressed up, and he certainly didn't expect her to seduce an old man like this!
If she was willing to come and ask for his help, maybe he could assist her!
"Lord Chen, Miss Qingyan has entered the hotel. Should we follow her inside?"
Qingmu watched helplessly as Qingyan supported Yan Bingsong and entered the hotel's entrance. He could feel a strong sense of jealousy filling the car, so intense that it felt suffocating.
"Or, should you call Miss Qingyan? Just ask her what she's doing?"
Si Yechen ignored him, clearly disdainful of his suggestion.
But as time ticked by, Si Yechen couldn't resist and took out his phone to dial that familiar number.
It had only been five minutes since Qingmu made the suggestion...
"Yan Yan."
Even Si Yechen himself didn't realize that his tone carried a hint of petulance, sounding somewhat pitiful.
"Do you need something?" Qingyan had just picked up the items and walked out of the room.
"Can we chat for a bit?" Si Yechen only wanted to hear her voice at this moment. "What did you have for lunch?"
"Just some home-cooked dishes." Qingyan stepped into the elevator, and the signal hadn't been cut off yet.
"How did they taste?"
Seeing that she had even finished the soup, they must have been delicious.
"They were alright."
"Then, can you take me there next time?"
Qingyan sensed that he was trying to make conversation out of nothing. "Did you call me for something?"
"Where did you go?"
Though it was a simple four-word question, when spoken by Si Yechen, it seemed to be filled with longing.
"Don't you already know?"
Qingyan walked out of the elevator and headed towards the black sedan parked outside the hotel. She opened the car door and looked at him. "You followed me from the company to the hotel?"
"Did you know the whole time?" Si Yechen, seeing her approach, pulled her into his arms and said dependently, "I just happened to pass by and saw you."
"..." Well, guess whether I believe you or not.
"You didn't even look for me?" Si Yechen's ink-black pupils stared at her.
"How could I find you? Stop the car and ask you why you're following me?" Qingyan wanted to break free from his embrace.
But Si Yechen held her tightly, and for some reason, all the unease and restlessness from earlier vanished completely once he embraced her.
"Si Yechen, you're becoming more and more audacious!"
Yesterday he held her hand, and today he dared to embrace her!
"I really want to hold you, what should I do?" Si Yechen looked at her earnestly and affectionately, not waiting for her approval as he reached out and embraced her. "Just for a while."
"..."
"Who is he?"
Si Yechen lightly caressed her shoulder with his chin, his words filled with jealousy.
Qingmu in the front row couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over. She never expected Lord Chen to be like this, so cute and irresistible!
Qingyan's heart also softened, "An elder."
"Do you have deep feelings for him?"
"What do you think?"
Si Yechen continued, "You didn't even feed me yesterday."
"Are you too old to use chopsticks?" He was actually jealous of an elderly person!
"Will you feed me next time?"
"..." Qingyan never thought this man could be so childish when he took things seriously. "Can you let go now?"
"If you promise, I'll let go."
"Fine."
Si Yechen released her and instead held her hand.
Qingyan:...
Inside the BMW car outside the hotel.
Lumu Yao and Gao Yang widened their eyes in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Qingyan went to serve an old man in the hotel, and then got into another luxury car right after!
The license plate of this car looked impressive. What kind of important person could be inside?
"I didn't expect my sister to lack self-respect to this extent."
Watching the luxury car drive away, Gao Yang was truly infuriated. Rather than giving those old men an advantage, why not give her first time to him!
At least he was young and energetic!
Qingmu parked the car in front of Qingyan's company, but Qingyan didn't get out of the car.
Her hand was still being held by someone, refusing to let go.
"I'm going to be late!"
On her first day of work, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on her subordinates.
But Si Yechen kept holding her hand, "I'll pick you up after work."
"I have my own car."
"Let Qingmu drive you back?"
"No need to bother!"
Qingyan wanted to pull her hand back, but Si Yechen held it even tighter.
"I'll drive you to and from work."
"No need."
"You can drive your car if you want."
"..."
"There have been thunderstorms these days, it's not safe for you to drive alone."
"I really don't need it!"
"Then can I come up and sit for a while?"
..." Qingyan looked at him helplessly, "I'm going to work."
"We can also discuss cooperation."
..." Qingyan didn't want to start her first day at work by collaborating with such a top corporation. Isn't that using connections? Everyone could tell something fishy was going on!
"Dinner together tonight?"
Qingyan felt extremely helpless, "I already have plans, another time."
Si Yechen didn't expect her to have so many plans, "How about tomorrow?"
"Fine."
"From now on, I'll drive you to and from work?"
..." Qingyan looked into his eyes, with a slight warning in her voice, "Don't take advantage of the situation."
"How about a week then?" Si Yechen tried to make a compromise.
Qingyan checked the time and realized she was really going to be late. She could only grit her teeth and agree, "Okay."
"For this week, keep your schedule clear, don't make plans with others."
"Understood." Qingyan finally pulled her hand back, got out of the car, and entered the company's gate.
Qingmu glanced at Lord Chen in the rearview mirror, and there was still a hint of a smile on his lips...
Qingmu suspected that he was hallucinating!!
Is this really Lord Chen, or has he been possessed by a ghost?!
This is just too out of character!
He had followed Lord Chen for fourteen years since he was eight, and it was the first time he had seen Lord Chen cling to a girl like this!
Just as Qingyan stepped into the company, her phone vibrated.
"Boss, it's me." The caller was Wu You, the head of the Ouyan Group's China region. "There are a few investment projects that want your decision again. I'll bring them to you tonight, along with the quarterly reports for your review."
"Okay." Qingyan entered the elevator. "See you tonight."
Not long after hanging up, her phone vibrated again. Qingyan looked and saw that it was Grandpa Long calling.
"Darling girl, how's the progress with your biological family?"
"Grandpa Long." Qingyan entered her office and made herself a cup of tea. "It's going well. Why do you have time to call me today?"
